It must not be supppsed that the private characters of the two candidates escaped thorough expositions pending the canvass. Seldom before, and never since, have the pri vate records of men been more thoroughly exposed to the public gaze than those of the two distinguished aspirants for Congres sional honors. Although pledged to Belle not to use her name in connexion with that of Mr. Van Du sen, Mr. Tom Suckers did not hesitate, while strictly complying with his promise, to give little by little, a full history of the case, suppressing only the fact of Belle’s confinement in the lunatic asylum.

LETTER FROM STANTON—EX-GOVERNOR LETTER—ITS GOOD EFFECT IN THE VALLEY—A CONSERVATIVE VIC TORY ASSURED - LOCAL % MISCELLANY. hTanton, June i), ltt73. Governor Wise's remarkable letter has : been universally read and discussed, and the general opinion is that it will do good in stirring tbe Conservatives up to a proper appreciation of the desperate efforts the : Radicals will mako to carry the fall ’ elections. I have conversed with lead-1 ing men, farmers, railroad hands, and j people ot all classes, from different portions of the great Valley, and have heard of but one ! opinion, and that is one of pity for the gal- j lant old gentleman, and regret that he has placed himself in opposition to every former 1 friend and his own expressed sentiments. The fear of his going over to tbe Radicals, or of | their taking him up, has nothing to do with tbis feeling, for I am positive a gallant Irish man expressed the general seutiment when he told me, “I went with two hundred of my countrymen from Rockfish Tunnel to help the ‘old man’ whip tbe Know Nothings, and all that is left of the two hundred will walk a hundred miles farther to beat him if lie joins the Radical nagers.” THE VALLEY RADICALS rejoice over the letter—oue of them clapping | his hands as he shouted to me, “We’ve got you now. Wise will run independent, and we’ll make no nomination.” They will work bard, I think, to carry out Wise’s programme and may force their party into it under tbe illusive idea of carrying off white votes in the Valley and mountains; but they have no votes compared with Hughes’ friends in the East aud Southwest, and may lose the game. Anyway, “forewarned we are forearmed, ’ and it such is their game we will give them the hottest fight and the biggest thrashing ever seen in the glorious old Valley since nolle Stonewall Jackson took Banks along to the Potomac at a 2:40 pace. The writer of this was confirmed in his political faith when a mere youth by H. A. Wise’s great speech here against “Sam,” and has always admired and looked up to him as one of the greatest men in the State. If he had had a vote he would probably not ’have voted for Greeley (but never for Grant,) and thought bis nomination a mistake, but for all that lie would rather work and vote against H. A. Wise as au “independent candidate,” sup ported by the Radical party, than any man in the State, and he finds the hundreds of both Whigs and Democrats iu old Augusta who staid at home and let Grant carry Vir ginia feeling the same way. Rely upon it, the people}here are going to support THE CONSERVATIVE TIC KET, aud elect it, no matter who runs for the Rad icals. They sec the end of their long night of gloom, poverty, and almost despair, giv ing away to a new day ot prosperity and happiness under Conservative rule, and they contrast their comparatively light taxes, free dom from negro rule and social equality, with that of stricken Louisiana, South Caro lina, Georgia and Arkansas, with feelings of gratitude to the party that has saved them, aud they will show it next fall in a way that will teach those who have gone over to their enemies a lesson not soon to be lorgotten. Immigration and capital is flowiug in. Every day the cars from the East and West and the stages from tbe Valley bring the hardy Conservative sous of the West and North among us to settle and invest. They tell us thousands more will come when it is forever settled that Virginia is not to be put under the same rule as Louisiana aud other States South, and then not only the great Valley but every portion of the State will be thickly set tled up by white labor of the best kind. There is too much at stake to lose the next ! election, and every white man, but those who I are over and can’t gut back, knows it and will | act accordingly* Let the old “Whig,” then, : continue to ring forth its brave words of cheer i to the people everywhere, and tell our brothers East, that as we leftfour Valley exposed dur- I ing the war, to stand by them and the capital, ; so will the “Valley men” rally at the call of 1 the great Conservative party, to a man, to ! save them from a far worse fate, that of being placed under RADICAL AND NEGRO RULE. Make the canvass hot—red hot, and let the -issue between white men and negro equality be so plainly put that the wayfaring man, though he be blind, may see it. The sum and substance of tbis life and death struggle ■ is: Shall the white, tax-paying, law-abiding j Conservative people of this State coutroi its future ior good, or shall designing “carpet baggers” and “scalawags” combine with 1 tbe ignorant, prejudiced, non-tax-paying ne- j gro to rule and ruin it forever ? A father in Massachusetts, who gtew im patient, the other evening, nt the prolonged stay of an ardent admirer of his daughter, en tered the room and invited the young man to remain to breakfast.

She has resumed her maiden name of Sadie Horn, The reporter describe-s her as follows : tike is a woman of not much over thirty years of age, but toil makes her look much older. Her face is not a very intelligent one, but certainly not a bad one. It was indicative of temper, but not much more than could be expected from one w ho has borne as much as she has in the shape of a toilsome life. Her month is small, and displayed as yet a well- preserved set ot teeth. Her no.e is aquiline, her forehead rather high. Her hair was jetty- black and rather coarse. It was allowed to lloat behind her shoulders, beingonly secured by n green ribbon. In form she is large, and looks like one well inured to a life of toil. Her dress at the time of the interview- was poor but neat. Probably if she wile Mrs. Mitchell instead of Mrs. Hippie, she would be able to dress better. Her voice is n pleas ant one, tolerably well flavored w ith the rural pathos. Her English is not always of the best, but, throughout tbe iuterview her man ner in alluding to the delicate parts of her eventful story was modest aud unassuming, 1 giving me a much better opinion of her ti.au 1 had gained previously. She says that she was a young girl of fifteen when she married Hippie, and that he was twenty*.six. He was a schoolmaster. The following is a part of the conversation be tween her and the reporter; j Reporter —I understood from Col Thomp son that yonr husband had contributed regu larly to you as well as to tbe children’s st-.p- | port during his absence, at least to yours un- | til the divotoe was procured i Mrs. H.—From the time John Hippie Kit me he has never contributed one cent tu my j support.

Colonel Thompson said if I would only 1 apply for a divorce", and release all claim's upon Mr. Hippie, he would pay me $300. I , agreed to this. Mr. Scott, mv lawyer, of ) Butler, was afterward present, and witnessed the agreement drawn up between ns. Colonel i Thompson always preteuted the money came out of his own pocket, bat. of course, that is 1 not highly probable. That explains the draft. That was the only money I ever received after the separation. Throughout the interview Mrs. Hippies i showed great pain lroiu her lheumatie at- j tacks, and spoke slowly aud with difficulty, j She displayed no particular animosity against Mr. Hippie, but thought it was hard that he should be so successful in life while she was sick and dependent upon the charity of friends for care. She told a most straightforward story, and referred with greatest freedom for substantiation of her statement to respectable living witnesses.

The blacks and the whites are two races and one ; or the other has to give in’-a little. It is better that tbe blacks yield that which is unimportant to secure that which is impor tant. Whenever the negroes of the South at tempt to resist aggression bv the whites as the whites resist aggression by the negroe- there will be trouble, and the end of all such trouble is that the blacks invariably get the worst of it. if the blacks should take Sen ator Carpenter’s advise and resist ‘insults’ | from the w hites, or the w hites resist -insults’ I from the blacks, the whole South would be (blown into a condition of civil war in a week. In the nature ot thincs (Le blacks must bear more from the whites than tbe w hites do from the blacks. I am not talking about the right or wrong of it. but the tacts. If a negro call* a southern white man a liar, he pays the penalty with his life, unless he is active enough to dodge bullets : but it is a very ordinary occurrence for h white man to call a negro a liar, a thief, a black rascal, and so on, and they do not resent the ‘iuenlt.’ It they did, from one to a hundred negroes would he killed every day. Invariably in fracases between whites and blacks, no mat ter out of what growing, the blacks get tbe worst of it. Never so long as the skin of tbe Ethiopian is thick, can he l e placed upon perfect equality with the whites. The preju dice and teachings ot two hundred years can not be uprooted and overcome by 'joint reso- 1 lution ol Congress or candid advice from a northern man like Senator Carpenter, who was never on >onthem soil ten da\s iu his life.” Dr Facto and Dcfiinrto.
