Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.
Death of a Good Man--State of Feeling in the Country — An Eloquent Sermon — Abolition Slander — Mass Meetings, &c., &c.
Chesterfield County,Nov. 20. 1860.
Yesterday the body of the Rev. Mr. Belcher was interred.
He had for forty years been a minister of the Gospel, and preaching to Baptist Churches in this county.
He was a good man, and much respected by all classes of the community.
Rev. G. Mason, of Manchester, preached the funeral sermon.
There seems to be felt a deep solicitude in reference to the present state of the country. "What will Virginia do?" is the question which overrides all others.
Though it seems to me that all have a conviction that no great harm is coming, and that after awhile the dark clouds will be swept away, and all will move on as heretofore, yet how such a desirable state of things is to be effected, is a matter about which the wisest confesses his ignorance.
