ou have had a most uproarious meeting in the African Church, in your city, to nominate to delegates to your Convention. Certainly it was a disgraceful scene for even the "Five Points," much less for Richmond, and that, too, in a house for divine worship. I wonder that such a house — the house of God--should be allowed by its authorities thus to be desecrated. I have no acquaintance with two of the gentlemen, (Messrs. Randolph and Steger,) but suppose the latter gentleman the son of Maj. Sager, late of Amelia; if so, he has the right blood. Judge Robinson I do know, and "he will do (in Southern parlance) to tie to." I did not see the Judge whilst here, or I should have made myself known to him.

Bequest, --Miss Sager, a member of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church, Philadelphia, has lately departed this life, and left the congregation of which she was a member a fine personage, together with another property valued at $20,000. Ralph Waldo Emerson stated, in a recent lecture, that American talent is superior to English. He added: American genius finds its comprehensiveness in the negro soldier, who dies in the trenches with his musket in one hand and his spelling-book in the other. The extensive suspender mills of the Nashawannuck Manufacturing Company, in Easthampton, Massachusetts, were shut down on Wednesday, the company having over four hundred thousand dollars worth of goods on hand for which there is no demand.
