Vaughan said that lit- had always had .m interest in every I ! ling that lielongcd tl . Bapt ist cause, and more particularly t.i tiller congregations upon the Peninsula. < )nce the Baptist Church was far ahead ol all others, but now she is drooping and weary. Once there were flourishing churches in cverv plac?-, but now they are gone, and their members are scattered or dead. Those who contributed most liberally to ilic church .ire ruined or gone ; but the tew vtill left must rally and work together. The field is still inviting. In Hampton ii>ur hundred dollars had l?ccn subset ibed ' i? secure the services of a Baptist missi. .nary ; and this was not done by the Baptists themselves, but by their friends, w I to were anxious to hear preached once ?,?.re ih?' pure and holy Gospel. 1 1 ? ? hoped tl a tie Missionary Board would soon be 1 able t>> make an appropriation for the conntie- of Kli/ ibeth City, York, and Warwick. In Hampton there are eight hundred or one thousand white people, but ii"! one church or meeting-house. l.thuts a-, e being made by tin Presbyterians to buihl a nice ting -house; and the Baptists ,lHtst not be behind. Newport News was also an important tu-ld, and an energetic missionary is needed, who will disseminate throughout the entire district the j?r in - Iciple.s of truth. Do this, ;<nd in a tew years the money spent will be returned to lyoc. li!;.. bread cart upon the waters, and ? Mn.se whh li are at first a drain upon your i ...m c?s, w ill become self-sustaining intutioii . _ Kev. Joseph Walker, from the ( oiumit- ; t( >? on a General Agent, reported, recommending that the State Mission Board employ such an agent. On motion oi Kev. A. M. Poindcxter, the repot t wa- laid on the table n>r the pt ese fit. The Axsni-iatkAt then resolved to hear addresses from it- members on the ? <<ndii i , . 2 1 of their churches and the religious , (.million ..f the State generally. Kev. William Fisher, from Greenbrier < oiinty, being called upon as coining liom West \'ii .'.inia, rose, ; 'id -lid that he had learned to say HVxt Virginia >et, though his home was in that section. His position had given him an opportunity of 1 n< >w i i 1 all about W Csteru \ i I gi u !!? , 'Hid he was well ac.piaint'-d with the spirit nil condition of the people. He tl. en gave an interesting account oi the country from Pendleton t?? Washington eounty, in which there were very few churches and only two Baptist ministers, whose whole tiiuewagiven to tin- ministry. The people dc>ire us t o send them ministers, and if wc do not, the American Baptist llome Mission Society of New York, who have already made "some appointments in that tield, would send those we do not desire to sec in our mid t. ll any man in hi- Association could bo found I ' accept a place from them, he Would lose all hold on the hearts of the people. He mentioned an instance where a well-knov n Baptist minister ot Botetourt eoimty had accepted an appoiui - ment from this New Vork Board, and his churches and the community had denounced and deserted him. All his influence w as -one, except amongst the negroes. The law had cut them off into that " little eli< i ker-board State,' but they paid no r? speet to that in religious matters. He would stand up for the old General Association. and hiv brethren would rallv ai "it nd lie i like children around a parent. They u. re po..r, but had ridsed money enough to send him down here in his plain country jeans, where he found all wearing broadcloth: but in these poor country clothes he had pr? iched th?- past nine months, and during that time b;ipti? d tw?? hundred and -event v converts. Rev.* George F. Adams, of Aceomae, referred to the state of the churches in the couutrv from Hampton to Williamsburg. Th i ft v*\ ears before the war he aud liev. Robert * Ryland had made a missionary tour tl r< ugh that part of the State, and he did not v ir>it it again till just before 1HG0. He drew a sketch of its condition then and now. He said there were only two ministers tln re now, and that the houses ol worship had been destroyed and the emigre .rat ions scattered. He concluded with an appeal for aid for these churches. Rev. A. M. Poindextcr, of Halifax, said if he had a map of the State he could point out places everywhere needing the minister ol the Gospel. The practical .jUestion is, what can be done ? We must practice economy, that we ma\ be able to give. Heretofore we had given ol* our abundance without self-denial. Now we must denv ourselves, and live more for Christ and his cause. Must return to the practice of the fathers of the Church before missionary societies were organized. Then our ministers were all missionaries. They went forth and sought out the people and preached to them the Gospel, gathered up scattered ( hristians, and organ i/a-d churches. 1 he trials through which we were passing arc to bring out a new type of piety, which shall be the enunciation of that era ot peace on earth and good will to men for which the good in all ages have prayed and labored. Rev. John W. Jones, of Rockbridge, closed the the state of the churches with an interesting statement in regard t?? the Valley of Virginia. Rev. Dr. Burrows, from the Committee ou the General Work o;' the State .Mission Board, presented the following resolutions : /fi.so lv> /, 1. That the work of preeminent importance to the Baptists ot \ irginia at this time is the encouragement and resuseitat ion of the scattered and impoverished churches in the towns and rural districts of the State; and that the Board be instructed to the utmost of their abilitv to further this work. 2. That all our churches he urged and entreated to contribute something, though they may be able to raise but small amounts, for this work, and for w aid them as early as possible, that in this great trial of allliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty may abound unto the riches of their liberality. ii. That we recommend to the Board to employ ut least twenty missionaries during the year, and we pledge our earnest cooperation and personal etforts to secure the funds necessary for their support. 4. That we recommend our ministering brethren voluntarily to visit destitute churches in their several sections, and encourage them in strengthening and forwarding the cause of Christ. Rev, ?. J. Willis moved the adoption of the resolution*, aud in hU remarks referred to Williamsburg, and the Baptiit

Church there, a* an important point re. ;riinsl??y said that the reaolu. tions contained th?? exact language to ex- ! Zh his estimate of tins work. State Minions was of preeminent importance, il..' itave a graphic description of the rav. ILJor thenar among the churches hetwecti the Rapidan and the 1 otomac, and concluded w ith an eloquent appeal to the liberality of his brethren. hwn though they could give but a mite, (.od could i make that mite almighty. \1 the conclusion of Mr. C?rimslcy s a?ljji.ss such was its effect, that Dr. Pomdexter moved that the Assoeiatiou i unite | with the President in prayer for the Divine ; guidance and blessing. . ~ \ Kev. Samuel <?. Mason, ot North Car<>S Una, spoke to the last resolution. He ha*? been engaged in similar work lor years, a?d God had greatly blessed his effort . He urged his brethren to seek out and 1 i, reach to the poor who needed the Gospel. Rev. .!.

The report declared that when the holdIcst among us were fearing, the firmest I wavering, the most hopeful desponding, even then the Ruler of the storm looked down in mereVf and smiled upon the workers in the foreign field.

A Philadelphia paper says that the Honorable Frederick Seward is to be a candidate for Governor of New York on the Conservative Republican side at the next election. The receipts from customs at the several southern ports last month were unusually large, those at New Orleans alone amounting to about two millions. The total receipts from this source, when all 'he ports are. heard from, will amount, it is estimated, to nearly seventeen millions | of dollars in gold. A plan has been suggested by which the Hudson river cau be tunnelled from New York to Hoboken by laying an iron tube live feet in diameter across the bed of the stream. This tunnel, intended to be work- ! ed l?y the pneumatic method, is designed to transport the freight of the Eric railroad between liobokvu and the company's de. I pot* Jn N*w York.

HoniJKKV \M> Mt'Tll.ATIoX OK CHAVES. Wo have before called attention t<> the fart that graves in Hollywood, ami indeed all the cemeteries of Richmond, have been robbed of tlowvi -s, and in some eases the * enclosures or tombstones muti!ate?l in a ' manner .shocking t" any, but most grievous to the surviving relatives of those whose resting-places are thus brutally outraged. We understand that t he practice has not ??nly not ceased, but that it is increasing. Flowers that have been set out by the tender and delicate hand of atlcction, and ; were sweetly blooming, types of the re-in-wed life, in beauty and purity above, of I the body that lies under the s?.d, have been torn tip by the roots by rude and heedless persons, and carried oil'. This sort of despoilment has been wholesale. Few have escaped invasion arid injury to some extent. The evil is most distressing to the relatives of the dead, and a serious injury to the appearance ofthe cemeteries. S<>mc. thing ought to be done to put a stop to it. It is somewhat inconvenient to get at ; but by a little vigilance an example or two i could be made which would have a healthy j effect. The exposure of one of these grave-robbers would be terrible to him, if lie had the smallest trace of self-respect or conscientiousness left in his breast. lie might almost wish that lie were himself \ amongst the dead, whose narrow homes he had so ruthlessly disturbed. Horse Thief. ? Some time since we 1 noticed the arrest of a negro named Woodson Hill, who knocked down Justice Wade while he was engaged in arresting him. lie was tried yesterday before the County Court for horse-stealing, and sent on for further trial. A mule and cart which Hill had in his possession at the time of his arrest had been retained by Justice Wade until yesterday, when, in accordance with Hill's request, they were sold to pay the tees of his coliuscl. The purchaser had not gone far with his mule and cart before he was met by l>r. Walker, who claimed them as his property. This was subsequently proven, together with the fact that they had been stolen the day before Hill was arrested. The Doctor's property was returned to him. The negro will now be tried on this charge. Fine Wheat. ? The wheat crop this year is generally acceded to be rather a failure ; | but we saw yesterday some stalks from a field of I)r. Deane's, near this city, which were as line as any we have ever seen. The stalks are very thick, averaging four and a half or live feet in height, and the heads are well tilled. We should be glad if there were many of our farmers who could send us in such specimens of wheat for the next | crop. En'okavixus. ? We have received from Messrs. Bolin A: Sat do two excellent e?u ; gravings of Generals Lee and Stonewall Jackson. The latter is from the celebrated Winchester full-faced photograph, which it acknowledged to be the truest picture extant.

CtJUTiT CotRT.? In the Circuit Court ' yesterday the evidence in the caw of Colonel Strong was closed, and his counsel submitted a motion to "quash capias." The Judge nil! probably render his deci. sion to-day. The case of Magill vs. Eacho was con- J tinned, and the evidence of Mr. If. Grau taken. Mr. Grau testified that he had at- j tempted to get star actors during his management of the Theatre, hut was unable to do so. He believed that Mr. Ogden, Mrs. j Magill's agent, had written letters north which defeated his object. lie could not produce the letters, therefore this latter statement was not taken as evidence. He j went on further to state that Mrs. Magill , | did not allow him full use of the scenery ! and wardrobe of the Theatre. It was necessary, in a Theatre, to have '"star" and "stock" scenes. The stock scenes were fixed permanently, and never j changed, but the "star" scenes were repainted to suit whatever play might be i brought upon the .stage. It was usual to j allow the " star " scenes in a Theatre to be changed by the lessee. During the late j season, witness wished to produce " Lost ! in London " ; and in order to get it up with effect, he sent for an artist to repaint one of the scenes. Mrs. Magill was absent ! from the city at the time. She returned j in a few days, and when she found that ] ono of the scenes had been repainted, she ' sent immediately for witness to come to her private office. Witness went; and j when asked " how dare he repaint that scene?" he replied that Mr. Ogden had given him permission to do so. Ogden was immediately sent for; and when he acknowledged that he had given perinis- : sion to have the scene repainted, Mrs. Magill caught him by his ear, and leading ! him towards the door, said : " Yes, sir, 1 and how dare you give permission to have I that scene spoiled ?" She wrung his ear well, and put him out of the door. Witness recited several other facts to show that Mrs. Magill had been guilty of failure of consideration. At the close of his testimony the case was continued until to-day, and the court adjourned. Mayor's Corrrr, Friday Morni.yg ? Ma vor Mayo presidim;.?

THE LAST SLAVE.- The last individual detained as a chattel in shape of man, and black at that, is "held to service" at a store nearly opposite the Spotswood Hotel. How is it that he has escaped the attention of philanthropists and Freedmen's Bureau, we know not. But certain it is, though the shackles have fallen from the limbs of all blacks, they still cling to this boy with a tenacity that, we apprehend, defies the Bureau itself. One can't help pitying this poor little fellow, solitary and alone as he is in his enslavement. This sentiment is heightened by the fact that he is understood to be scantily supplied with clothing; indeed, it is said he hasn't a change of drapery. Yet never was the cheerfulness and good humor of the African character more forcibly exhibited than by this little fellow. His duties expose him to great hardship and to all sorts of weather- yet he maintains a most impurturbable expression of good humor and content. He must have an iron constitution. His owners, with all their neglect, it is said, are much attached to him, and it would take a great effort to get him off from his "masters;" for they are indeed nothing else. Nothing but their mutual attachment and the evident contentment of the poor boy prevents us from turning Abolitionist, and moving Heaven and earth to break the chains that bind the limbs of this last of the bondsmen on the soil of America.

IIkpukw Mkmorial Association*.? We have noti' cd t tic zeal of the Hebrew ladies in taking care of the graves of the dead who proved their sincerity and devotion by sheddine their life's blood. These worthy ladies have shown their excellent taste, u.s well as their admiration for the heroism of those whose memories they hon.tr. Below we publish an eloquent appeal from Mrs. Lew, the corresponding secretary of the Hebrew Ladies' Memorial Association. We doubt not it will meet with the most liberal and generous response : To thf Israelites of the South "While the world yet rings with the narrative of a brave people's struggle for independence, and while the story of the hardships so nobly endured for liberty's sake is yet a theme but halt exhausted, the countless graves o t the myriads of heroes who spilled their noble blood in defence of that glorious cause lie neglected, tint alone unmarked by tablet or sculptured urn, but literally vanishing before the relentless finger of Time. Within the past few weeks there have been formed, by the ladies of Richmond, two associations, viz : the "Hollywood" and the "Oakwood," having for their object the care and renovation of the soldiers' graves in those cemeteries. Contemporaneously with the above, we, "the Hebrew ladies," formed a similar association, with a view ol caring for the graves of Jewish soldiers; which of course would not be embraced in the work of either of the tirst named societies. In our cemetery repose, alas ! the sacred remains of many a loved brother, son, and husband, to whose relatives in the far sunny south it would he a solace to know that the pious duty of preserving from decay the last resting-place of their lost one, although denied to them to perform, is yet sacredly fulfilled by the members of the "Hebrew Ladies' Memorial Association." It is our intention to mound and turf each grave, and to place at the head of each a simple stone, inscribed with the name, State, and time and place of death ; subsequently to rear a monument commemorative of their brave deeds. In order, however, to successfully accomplish our object, we need some pecuniary assistance. Our scant and somewhat needy community (already so heavily taxed) has done well. But we find utl:is work is too great t"< >r us." Therefore, with a full confidence in the sympathy and cooperation of our people elsewhere, we make this appeal for aid, well knowing that , as Israelites and true patriots, they will not refuse to assist in rearing a monument which shall serve not only to commemorate the bravery of our dead, hut the gratitude and admiration of the living for those who so nobly perished in what we deemed a just and righteous cause; and while, as Israelites, we mourn the untimely loss of our loved ones, it will be a grateful retlection that they suffered n<>t their country t<? call in vain. In time to come, when our grief shall have bccome, in ;i measure, silenced, and when the malicious tongue of slander, ever so ready to assail Israel, shall be raised against us, then with a feeling of mournful pride will we point to the monument and say, " T'ifr> is <>ur repiy."

A B.vkbe<te. ? A barbecue was given b\ I Messrs. Larkin W . Glazebrook, Fleming Griiliu, aud Thomas C. Epps, to their ; ' friends, yesterday, on the farm of Major Lloy.l, on tlit* Central railroad, about a i mile beyond the city. A number of our citizens were present, and the day was ! .spent in the most happy manner. There ! were any quantity ol eatables on hand, and none of the guests could complain of thirst. Speeches wen? made by Messrs. Glazebrook, Griflin, and Kpps, and several others. During the day, Major Lloyd ! sent down a large quantity of fresh golden butter and delicious, cool buttermilk, and while the milk lasted, "sperr its" were 1 ratiier below par. The gentlemen who were present desire to return many thanks ! to the Major for his kindness. Late in the evening the party separated, and all hands returned to their homes, regretting that the pleasures of this life were so few and i short-lived, and that barbecues were not given a little oftener. Fire Water. ? During the war the ruling powers were particularly careful to : provide as much cool water as possible tor , the citizens and those transient soldiers j who formed a great portion <>f the popula1 1 i<>n of the city. There were hydrants and i pumps upon all the principal thoroughfares, and although it was somewhat ditlii cult to drink, the water .still was there for those who could crook their necks or bend ; their bodies under the nozzle of pump (or hydrant, or dexterously use their clenched hands or inverted hats as im- | prompt u goblets or drinking vessels, i Since the war, however, the hydrants and j pumps have fallen into disuse, and the city ! authorities think, perhaps, that whisky is so cheap that water is no longer needed, l his innocent belief we now wi?h to eradi- ? ite, and to plead that, during tile summer and autumn months, we may be permitted at will to drink our till of clear and sparkling water. Ice-cream or sola are not j within the means of every one ; our friends in the north say that we must keep cool, aud we cannot all do this unless we are ; allowed to drink water at discretion. On Eleventh street, near Euker's saloon, i is a pump which was in full operation duj rintf the war, but which is now as rusty ' and dry as any toper's throat at early morn, i Let a beginning be made on this! Let it | be put in order again, or else let it be removed at once so that we may be no loftier tantalized by remembrances of gushing' streams aiul babbling rills once sparkling from the ferruginous nozzle, but now silent' aud still during the will and pleasure of the City Council of Richmond. Water is one of the cheapest of all luxuries, and ? our citizens will thank the City Fathers it they will show their care for them by enMing every one, high as well as a.s low, to indulge freely in that fluid which is harm- ; less when taken internally aud in moderation. Ovk ok the Dead from (?kttysuiko. j The remain* ot Algernon C. i'ortcr, tirst j sergeant ot the Third Howitzers, who fell in t he battle of Gettysburg and was buried i in the Held, have been brought to thin city.

FROM MAXrHEHTER. Thk Baptist Concert and Fkstiyal-? From the preparations being wade, we are of the opinion that this affair will be a big thin". Their platform has been completed, and is one upon which right-minded persons may plant themselves with im- , unit v. On yesterday we believe it had but lew supporters, but now being complcted, and the labor over, it has greatly increased in popularity. To-?la\ air> lingers are busj decorating the building with wreaths, flowers, and evergreens; and when completed it will no doubt reflect great credit on all concerned. The concert takes place on Tuesday night ; and the class already proficient, are working like Trojans to perfect themselves in some ditlicult and exceedingly beautiful p eces. There will be solos, an address, and various other attraeth-ns for the lovers of the beau, tiiul, and a host of good things for the accommodation of the inner man. rhe testival will be rontinued tor several nights; and it' one-half of the bill ol tare which we have seen is nerved, we are afraid we shall die of gout before the festival is over. As the chtiri h is in need of funds, ami the movers of the concert and festival have labored verv assiduously, we trust that their et forts will be crowned with abundant success. Mis-ruKtJ y. ?

Considerable excitement was occasioned along our usually quiet thoroughfare yesterday evening by the very tine speed which a riderless horse made down Hull street, much to the inconvenience and fear of all the women and children who happened to be promenading at that hour. We are poor judges of horsetlesh and horse-tiiue, but we honestly believe that this nag could easily make his mile in 2:40 on a plank road, lie was arrested in his wayward carecr without any material damage either to himself or anything else. \n Appkai..?
