The PresiIn- frequently expressed his anxiety that the States should all he admitted to their places in the Union. Thi?

The sore-lieads, who intend w .rriug against the admission of Virginia, u ;i li.lit hard. Tliev are already com- : ng their mode of warfare, and hv the ( ti.re-- meet-will array thcin-elves r,. :h against the Conservative element ot th- \ilininistnition. The result must be a w ! division in the party. Boutwell, still In the Cabinet, will lead one faction, but tin President, at the lietid of the majority, will be certain to overcome the dissensiohje- and succeed in reconstructing the 1 iti ai. The State of Virginia can materially a-sist him in this respect.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Gazette. THE PLOT AGAINST VIRGINIA-- RADICAL EMISSARIES Washington. September 22, 1869. For some time past it has been more than .suspected that the Radicals, under the lead of Boutwell, Butler, and Sumner, were preparing a scheme by which to nullify the recent election in Virginia. These suspicions have found their way in several of the papers of the country, but so improbable did they seem that they met with neither credence nor attention. Recent developments, however, prove that these suspicions were well founded, and fall far short of the facts. Night before last two men (of the ultra Radical type) arrived in this city from Virginia. Where they had been on "reconnoitering" tour in the employment (as is now positively known) of the worthies mentioned above. Their mission to Virginia was to organize committees of the Union Leagues in various sections of the State, and to instruct them how to do it; to get up evidence proving frauds in the recent election, and intimidation and coercion of the freedmen, by which they were forced to vote the Conservative ticket or not vote at all. These affidavits-- for the instructions were that the Leagues should secure aftidavits--are to accompany a petition which is to be presented to Congress early in the session, and referred to the Reconstruction Committee, where, under the management of Butler and his friend Bingham, it is to sleep until the end ot the session, which will keep Virginia unreconstructed at least until the first Monday in December, 1870. The next being a short session, it is supposed there will be little difficulty in "staying'' the consideration of "affairs in Virginia" off until the adjournment of Congress. This petition is not to be presented until alter notice has been received that Virginia yielded to the crowning act of Radical insurpation imposed upon her--the adoption of the fifteenth amendment. Then the mine is to be sprung, and Virginia--Virginia, who gave to the nation a Washington, a Madison, a Monroe; Virginia, whose people have complied with all the demands which the Radicals could invent to degrade her, until her submission amounted almost to dishonor--is to be subjected two years longer to military rule, surveillance, dictation, and tyranny. This programme is not only to apply to Virginia, but to Mississippi and Texas, should a majority ot the people of those States in the coming elections vote for the Conservative candidates. Numerous have been the crimes of Radicalism exposed in this correspondence, but there are none which equal this in cool, calculating vil rainy. Its enormity is evidenced by the fact that it required the united genius of three of the most unscrupulous men in the nation to concoct and initiate it, and the agents selected by them to do this dirty work in Virginia (who have just returned here after having completed their disreputable mission) were in every way lilted for the task. One is from Pennsylvania, and was dismissed from office on a charge of appropriating property of the Government to his own use; the other, who hails from Illinois, was peremptorily dismissed from the army by President Lincoln for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. These men seek every opportunity to try and excite prejudice against the people of Virginia by the circulation of the basest slanders. They state that the same spirit that produced the rebellion is still rampant in Virginia--that the people of Virginia are the least reconstructed of any in the South. On the frauds committed to secure Walker's election they are very eloquent, and assert the most improbable stories. Strange to they, they find men to listen to them and believe their lies. The plan of Boutwell, Butler, Sumner & Co., disgraceful as it is, is of easy accomplishment, and will be carried out to the very letter, and neither Virginia, Texas, nor Mssissippi, be allowed representation in Congress or freedom from military rule unless they accept just such terms as these men may dictate. They have the power during this Congress. Will the next be different? Y.

A white woman, aged about fiftylive years, giving the name of Frances French, was arraigned yesterday before Justice Walter on the charge of grand larceny. It appears that about four months ago she visited Mr. William Sanderson, living near the so- h gate of the capitol, and desired a situate :,as she hail no friends nor home in this city. She bad just arrived from St. Mary's* county, Md., and bad plenty of money, but preferred employment to idleness. She received Jt situation in the house, and, as the wife of Sanderson was very ill, she was trusted with 'lie entire management of the house. Mr. Sanderson, a short time ago, discovered that Frances was in the habit.of taking in occasional dram, which mused his suspicions. He inspected the hou?e, and found that a great many of the knives, forks, and spoons, as w<!' ?? a quantity of furs, were missing. Detective McDevitt was called upon, and searched the trunks of the woman, where he found a quantity of the stolen goods, when the officer took her into custody. She had a small bag of gold and a large sum in Treasury motes when she came to the house. From letters found in her trunk it is supposed that she hails from Richmond, Va., and not from Maryland. Mr. McDevitt believes she is wanted somewhere. Justice Walter, after hearing the case, committed her to jail for court.? Washington Chronicle, 23d. Major Samuel F. Chalfin, assistant adju-tant-general, and Surgeon II. R. Wirtz, United States army, have resigned. It is now reported that Mr. Hoar is to be appointed a Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States, and Joe Holt. Secretary of War. Roth rumors are, however, doubted.

Foreign News. Father hyacinthe. London, September 22.?The Telegraph estimates the declaration of Father Hyacinthe as merely one of manv manifestations revealing comniation in the ltomun Catholic Church, which promises to make the CEctime nieal Council an occasion of anything but spiritual peace. Parity September 22.?Lc Temp? says the noble and courageous answer of Father Hyacinthe will create immense effect, appearing on the eve of the great council. It is truly a sign of the times. The Steele is of opinion that the attitude of the eloquent, earnest preacher monk must exercise great influence in the present crisis of the Church. THE RELIGIOUS SITUATION. Tan'?, September 22?The Journal des Ltbats looks on the religious situation as one fraught with serious consequences. It is said the comingeouncil at Rome will meet only to satisfy the decision of the most ultramontane committee, but the attitude of certain German and American bishops, and complaints of illustrious French ecclesiastic-*, show that the labors of the council will n<>t be so easy and direct as was anticipated. II the syllabustriumphs it will be with a struggle, and the triumph enu be only ephemeral. SWITZERLAND. Lausanne, September 22.?Congress is in session here. Yesterday a banquet was given the delegates. Victor Hugo was present, and offered a toast "to the Republic of the United States." He said lie felt sure that, imitating (he example of America, Europe would eventually become a federative republic. KoorMANscHAr? His Return to the 31 ethopolis?Intentions Regarding the Future.?Mr. C. Koopmanschap, of San Francisco, is now in this city making arrangements for bringing to this country, in lsTo, a supply of Chinese laborers. After visiting the West he will leave on November ?!, for China, to return in the spring of ISTu, bringing with hi in as many Celestials as lie may have contracted for. These laborers will not be coolies, as Mr. Koopmanschap disavows any idea of being connected with the coolie trade, but voluntary iminigraiiis who agree to the terms offered bv him. and who come hither with the full knowledge and ooii-ent ot the Chinese authorities for t he purpose ofbetteriug their pecuniary condition. A contract has already been closed with the Texas Land Company for supplying 5,000 Chinamen to work oil the lands owned by the company in Texas. Another contract has been made with a leading landowner in Mississippi to supply several hundred laborers for that State. Mr. Koopmanschup's Chinamen are to receive an average of ten dollars per month anil found : and hands emploved to work on railroads will get lifteen dollars per month and found. Mr. Koopmanschap goes to Washington today to explain his project to the Federal authorities, "and to correct the impression entertained by some that he designs to import coolies or others who are not free, voluntary immigrants.?Neto York 'Time?, 22d. [The negroes will underbid the Chinese.] Cnange in the Cuban Army.?The New fork Journal of Commerce learns from* a gentleman who is in position to know what s goitigon among the Cuban revolutionists hat an important change has been made in he command of the liberat ing army. Geneal Cespedes, President of the Cuban Reuiblic, lias taken the lield in person as comnandcrofall the forces, and General dorian, who recent lv held that position, is made ?hief of CeSpedes's stuff. The editor says : '?This strengthens the revolutionary ause by securing General Jordan's valua>le services in a place where they will all till be available, while it appeals with Iresh lower to the patriotism and pride of the Albans. To give the chief command of the nsurgcuts to a foreiguer?although that oreigner is an American and u soldier of ;reat talents?seemed to imply a want of uililary skill among the Cubans themselves, vhich prejudiced some people against them, tut few expeditions have been able to get way from the United States ports since Jcneral Jordan took the command, and the Albans have been obliged to depend, for lie most part, upon themselves." Death from a Singular Cause.?A Mr yner, residing in Johnston county, died >t Friday from a very singular cause. He tis engaged in stacking some fodder, when i was bitten on I he face, near the corner of c right eye, by some reptile or insect, rcat pain immediately ensued, and a phy?iun was sent for : but before he arrived e sufferer was insensible, and despite cry remedy employed lie died within nc'hours after he was bitten.

VIRGINIA NEWS. Corrcspr.nrlcnco of the Itlchmoni! Dispatch. lEaiNSlorin?NcHl of tin* People who were Sufferers by the nnme In Portions of Caroline, Essex, aud King and Queen, counties. Some time early in the month of AlitUSt a most destructive hail-storm?-the severest ever witnessed by the oldest inhabitant? passed ,vl;;OUgn the lower end of Caroline and through a portion of King and Queen and Essex counties, along the line separating the same, completely destroying the crops of firmers, their vegetables, and in some instances their poultry and hogs. Whilst the writer was a sufferer (but very slightly) bv this fearful storm, he learned from reliable sources that the hail was from the size of a partridge egg to almost or quite the size of goose eggs, and that icehouses might have been tilled with the hail in many places. Such was the terrible desolation and utter destruction of all that tfie people in the line of this storm had to rely on as a support for another year that, at a public meeting of the. people, held at Newtown late in the month of August,?consisting of citizens sufferers bv the storm, and others from Caroline and "King and Queen Queen counties?it was resolved that a petition, signed by the sufferers, shouM be sent to General" C'anby, begging that they should be relieved from their State taxes, and another, to their respective county courts, that they be relieved from tliefr county levy. Hut as this relief, even if granted, would he very inadequate to meet the pressing wants of this people for another year, beinj deprived of a support for both "themselves and stock, the same public meeting appointed the undersigned to write a communication to the press, and thus call the attention of the more fortunate farmers along the Rappahannock and Mattaponi rivers who escaped the storm, and in a great measure the drought, to the suffering which will be occasioned by this storm, if not relieved, in the hope thai their sympathies and charity may he aroused, and that they will this fall lake steps in their respective neighborhoods, by public meeting or otherwise, through subscriptions in kind, or, if they think nest, otherwise, to be distributed in such way as most certainly will aid the really needy. I wosid suggest* that if such sub"-1 scrip'tions in kind were deposited with the merchant of each neighborhood, and he furnished with a list of names to he supplied per capita with so much, liis benevolence would, it is not doubted, induce him to make the distribution as directed with pleasure. The merchants being provided with granaries, and always present, it is believed that this method may he practically carried out, whilst it may insure the getting those things for the "support of these people which, from their great scarcity, it may he very difficult to procure. It may he, however, that in the estimation of "some, providing for this people would he best managed by the county courts ; and perhaps ir may: hut, in whatever wav done, it is most highly proper that efficient* aid should be rendered to those ncedv sufferers. Hoping that this communication will meet with your favor, and the favor especially of those for whom it was written, the writer sigus himself, Respectfully, yours, 11. F. Drew.

On motion, Rev. R. N. Price was appointed secretary, and Revs. .1. K. Stringlellow and J. R. Payne assistant secretaries. Conference was opened with singing, and prayer by the presiding ollieer, who inadc an admirable opening speech, congratulating himself upon being called to preside over this Conference, 'i'ho several standing committees were then appointed. Up to this time about one hundred delegates have arrived, and from all the indications the session will be harmonious and prolitable. Rev. David Sullins preaches the annual sermon to-night. Jie is one of the most talented ministers to be found in any Church. The Bishop well remarked this morning that the llolston Conference occupies historic ground, and made recently heroic by the sutfering of manv of its ministers. Jacob Brill halt, who was ridden on a rail, and llenry Meal and Jacob Smith, who were severelv whipped because they preferred to preach Jl?e gospel rather than politics, are in attendance at this Conference.

General Cordon left us on vestcrday. lie visited t lie Institute, witnessed the evening parade of the cadets, and inspected the barrack-, mess-hall, etc. lie seemed very much pleased with everything he saw, and especially struck with the rapidity with which the Virginia Military Institute has been "reconstructed." When lie was last here, at the head of his division of veterans, it had just been left in ruins by "Hunter i lie Vandal." The vi-it of General Gordon, and especially seeing him in company with General Lee and a number of his old command, awakened many Confederate memories, and we could almost see the "stars and bars" floating in the breeze once more. But these visions were rudely dissipated this morning by seeing run up in front of military headquarters a large United States flag. This is the. first time it has been deemed necessary since the war to lioist "the flag" in Lexington in so conspicuous a manner. Students continue to"come in, and it is now pretty certain that the number of matriculates at the college will reach four hundred or more during the session.

Surgical Operation.?Stephen Van Rensselaer Trumblc (known here as the man with the wen), a citizen of Fairfax county, fifty-two years old, and who for a long number of years past has been frequently observed on the streets of this city with an immense fleshy tumor suspended from his chin, yesterday submitted to a surgical operation for the removal of the excrescence, which was twenty-seven inches in circumference. It was performed by Dr. M. M. Lewis assisted by Drs. Brown, French, Gregory, and Powell, of this city, and Fox, of Fairfax Courthouse. The blood vessels were compressed, an incision was then made in the skin about ten inches long, and the tumor, which proved to be of a gristly character, and looked exactly like a beef's heart enlarged to three times its natural size, was torn from its attachments as butchers tear kidneys from their surrounding fat, until its neck or pedicle was reached. The chain of the ecraseur, an instrument used for dividing parts of the human body slowly, and by mashing the veins and arteries to 'prcveittrtheir bleediner, was then carried through the middle of the neck of the tumor, and an attempt made to cut through one-half of it, but of so tough and unyieding a character was it that the ecraseur, after reducing the size of what it contained to about the diameter of an inch, could not divide it, and its use consequently had to be abandoned, and a knife substituted, with which the whole appendage was removed in a moment. The little blood that oozed from the stump was stopped by the application of a styptic. The superabundant skin was then cut away, the edges sewed together and dressed, and at 4 o'clock in the evening; when tlie operation terminated, the pu

Hart <?? Hayes : Gentlemen,?I purchased of you In the spring five bags of BergerA Blitz's Superphosphate of Lime, wlitch I used side by side with Peruvian guano and "s Superphosphate, applying the same quantity of each per acre. Upon carerul examination (having marked the land where each was applied) I would state that up to the drought prevailing for the last nine weeks the "Berger A Biitz" had the decided advantage over the other two ; and the corn Is nsw looking much better and less affected hv the dry weather? My faith Is such that I shall purchase for my wheat. Yours, Robert w. Fdbveyisouoh. Orange Courthouse, Va., duly 27, i?w._ Messrs. Berger & Butz: Gentlemen,?Tt gives mo pleasure to Inform you that last fall I used your Superphosphate upon a portion of my wheat crop, and that It acted to inventire satisfaction. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, ? J. 0. Newman, orange Courthouse. Va., .July 27th. 1898.? Gentlemen.?I take pleasure In stating that I used Berger A But/.'s Superphosphate upon a part of my wheat last fall, and upon my corn this spring. I put about 200 pounds per acre by the side of *s Superphosphate, used In the same quantity and upon much better land. Where the Berger A Blitz was used the wheat was twice as good. Upon my corn Its effects are astonishing; giving It a rapid, vigorous, and healthy growth ; aud although we have had a terrible drought, my corn Is greener and seems to stand ft better than any I have seen. W. K. TALIAFERRO. Certificates also received from Orange county from Robert 15. Burruss, 1\ M. Slaughter, G. J. Browning. Amherst Courthouse, Va., Juno l, 18?.? Messrs. K. Ii. SUvhens ???

I used only 125 pounds to the acre, and my wheat Is equally as good as my neighbors, some of whom usod 300 pounds of Peruvian guano to the acre on land of the same nature. I heartily recommend It as being a fertilizer second to none In the market, and shall use It more extensively the coining fall. Very respectfully. Willis a. Wood. Chrirtiansburo.
