Washixotok, June S, l*6?. the extremist* iu Confrew are sorely | perplexed with regard to the time of riming the present (tension. The tuuall Conservative minority, thoroughly convinced that every day's prolongation more and more i jeopardizes the tranquillity and irreconcilable feeling so lobg indispensable for a harmonioQ9 cementing of tho bonds of the Union, arc ready to adjourn now, especially as the real business of the session is already perfected. Not so, however, with the rceolntfonlsts, who, with their drivers, (not leaders) Stevens and Sumner, are seeking to prolong the session so as to build up a new, incongruous, and unconstitutional policy especially designed to perpetuate them in power at the expense of the rights and liberties of the people. It is true that ? portion oi the ruling cabal would he glad to have their drivers 44 let up," and assist them in patching up some kind of truce, so that when confronted with an indignant constituency they might hope to avert their duplcasurc and repudiation; but such is the \enom aud spite of the lords that they are to be allowed no such relief. The aim and purpose of the high priests is to protract the sessiou uutil, by constitutional tinkering and unconstitutional enactments overriding Executive vetoes, they hope to so arrange matters as to make sure of the next President aud the next Congress. It is industriously whispered that the revolutionists are maturing a plan by which they design to abrogate the rights of the States entirely as expressed through their State Legislatures. Of course this can only be done by changing the form of government. As the majority of the States now represented seem to care nothing tor a stable government (republican in form and democratic in substance) provided they are in the full tide of pecuniary success, this gigantic attempt at usurpation is j of course Intended to apply to certain non- j represented States. Congress is pursuing ! a policy precisely in accordance with that j inaugurated by Santa Anna in Mexico in j 1895, the tendency of which (if not the ! purpose) will, it is apprehended, load to the same result. The general tenor of their legislative projects is to establish a central consolidated government, which will enable the General Government, with an acquiescent President and Congress, to act entirely independent ol" t lie States of the Union in their sovereign capacity. More than a few liadicals have expressed themselves very sanguine lately that Colo- j rado will be brought into the Union not- 1 withstanding the veto. When the Senate manipulates reconstruction to its entire satisfaction, probably the former question will be taken up again. The Fenian question, now that it seems to havo some practical importance, is again exciting the inquiry as to what our Government will do in the premises. How far they may be permitted to go without the question of a violation of the neutrality laws comes up may at least be.* determined by some notice from the State Department. Military and naval commanders in the troubled sections have had instructions giveu to them. Several Republican members of Congress were at the Executive mansion today, and such was the pressure upon his time that the doors were not opened, as is usually the ease lor the admission of less distinguished individuals.

Piedmont Confederate Cemetery Association. Gordons vii.lk, May 31, lSGfi. To the Editor '*> of live Dispatch : The Board of Directors of the "Piedmont Confederate Cemetery Association" mot yesterday at this place. Members from Madison, Greene, Orange, and Louisa counties were present, The meeting was presided over by the lion. B. John>on Barbour, president of the Association. Mr. George Stewart was elected to till the office of corresponding secretary. Mr. B. II. Partlow wjis elected treasurer. An executive committee, consisting of Messrs. B. J. Barbour, J. P. Scott, (!. IV. Mayers, E. F. Cowherd, and J. L. Jones, was ap- ; pointed to c arry out the designs of the I Association, subject to tin) supervision of the Board of Directors. Mr. James A. Evans (now of Lynchburg), who was the originator of the Association, was unani- i roouslv elected an honorary member of the j Board. A circular will be prepared and j sent to prominent gcntlemeu in the south- ! ern States, whose soldiers are buried in this region, requesting their cooperation with us in honoring their noble ' dead with a decent cemetery. A vote of thanks to the ladies foT the benefit they tendered the Association on the 25th ? resulting in a handsome contribution ? was cordially adopted. A committee was appointed to visit the burial-grounds near this place, and make a' record of the names of the dead so far as it is practicable to do so. This list must necessarily l>e imperfect, from the fact that rnauy names on the bead-boards are obliterated in part, many entirely, and many marked Unknown. We are resolved that these unknown ones shall not be unhonored. I could not escape a feeling of deep sadness when, in passing through the grounds, I would come to a grave marked Unknown, or one without a head-board. The friends of such must of course be denied the melancholy pleasure of knowing where they are buried. The funds of the Association will be deposited Kith the Albemarle Savings Institution, there to remain, bearing interest until a sufficiency shall be sc^.?i to enable the committee to euclose the site winch may ! b? elected lor the cemetery. WhflMalt Lead Foil*?!**? T h r e e Hnadred Cases la Orange County? Careless Tee af Lead In a Grist Mill. , Mjdhlktox, May 30. ? For some weeks I past the people living in the Walkill val- " Jey, iu the western part of Orange couuty, have been attacked by a disease which* battled the akill of the physicians. In thflj case of the persons attacked, the symptoms were those of lead poisoning, and in 1 satance* whole families were attacked. Sometimes the disease has resulted in death. To-day hundreds are suffering ft om toe effects of the poisoning to a greater ' or less degree. * I After muoh investigation it was found that these cases of lead poisoning resulted from eating bread mads from flour and ttea! menufketured at a mill at Phillipsi bun, largely patronised by the surround, . Jog farmers. The miller did an sxtensive * iMMiosM, running /bur seta of stones night and day, and keeping one set exclusively ibr watam ("grist n) work. This was an dd needing frequent repairs, and the KoUl were filled, from time to time, with lead, laatead of with tern en t. Same of tfc#*e filled holes were as large as a hen's egf. Id grinding grsin of course this le#d was almost imperceptibly mingled with tile flour- In crude form ft was comparatively harmless, but when the broad ; w#s fermented and subjected to the baking nroceae, the Berttcies of lead became fcarnonate oflaad deadly poison. Bread q? this kind was Mke bread spread with *feHe lead for butter. A* "ooo-aa th* of the pojsvnjng waa ascertained, Jk.

ONE RARE ITEM OF THE PROGRESS OF THE I PRESENT CENTURY. Dr. E. J, GOODWIN'S EUTROPHIC, * for SCROFULA, CHRONIC RHEUMATISM AND SYPHILI8. I The most unmanageable diseases which afflict the human race made to yield satisfactorily and per- i manently to the method and means, an exposition ! of which may be had by reading a concise statement of facts, in pamphlet form, which 1 have thought for some time worthy to be noted by the public generally. The title of this short treAtise is " The Special Treatment of Syphilis, Chronic Rheumatism, and 8crofula, by Dr. E. J. Goodwin, of the Washington Springs.'' 1 hereby most respectfully and honestly solicit a careful notice of this pamphlet by the class of suffering humanity to which it particularly refers, and an attentive reading of Its "Supplement," and the authenticity of its intelligent and professional endorsement. The "Vegetable Eutrophic," which figures as the most prominent feature in the pamphlet, constitutes, in the judgment of discriminating , physicians and others distinguished for intelligence and a high appreciation of truth and merit, I r'?n important addition" to the remedies now \ known as the most efficient in the treatment of these | diseases. My success in managing these diseases, now conceded to excel any attending the general plans of j treatment, is due to inv adaptation of the Eutrophic ; upon the theory whicu I devised upon early pathological views taken of these maladies. Tne potency of Its efficacy makes it eminently deseivfng a place among the most reputed standard remedies of medical record: and I would most conscientiously claim at the nands of honorable and intelligent physicians a fair and impartial trial of ita therapeutical value as applied by me in the control of tlitdHQ dlBt'iftCH 1 can, on short notice, furnish physicians located in towns and eitiesfrom fifty u> one huttdred bottles of the Eutrophle at a cost of three dollars per hotti*. containing thirty ounces. The long- established mineral resources of the Washington Springs, formerly known as Leech's, affording the bent qualities of Sulphur, Alum, Chalybeate, and Magnesia, the most remarkable and valuable collection of medicinal waters known to the mountain* of Virginia, cannot be otherwise than attractive tolrvalids or both sexes suffering from debilities, diseases of the urinary organs, uterine disorders, skin diseases, diseases of the liver and digestive functions, and all affections benefited by a relaxation from domestic habits and pursuits, accompanied by a few weeks' soiourn at such a healthful retreat as that of the Washington Springs. Persons Tisitlng the Springs for their mineral advantages will he charged two dollars per day and twelve dollars per week board. Persons visiting the Springs for medical advfee and treatment will he charged fire dollars per week, at specie rates, for hoard. Passengers reach the Springs by the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, stopping at Glade Spring depot, Washington county. No charge for medical service* unless aatisfac* Hon 1* given. The afflicted mar visit us with the assurance tkat their sojourn shall be succeeded by a happy return. To live, toe kU94 no need luul iooul4 not humbug the suffering. E. J.
