WoLTZ, Secretary. KEEP UP ORGANIZATION. Thorough organization is the secret of great victories. A well-organized army can beat double its own force badly disci- plinetl. In numbers we ate stronger than our opponents, in organization wo are supe- rior, and the signs of the times indicate our certain victory in November.

But we want something more than barren vie- tory that leaves us the Held, and permits the enemy to retire in good want a victory that will stand through all i time as a warning to ambitious men, who would barter principles for power. Greeley has gone over to tho trading Democracy, because he wants to be President. They accept him because they think, or did think at the time of the baigain, that he could be elected, and thus serve their purposes in the future. Now, to break up this coalition, and to administer to such men as Greeley a lasting rebuke, we must make their defeat an overwhelming one. We can do it if we but work for that end.

Every man must be active in the good cause. Every man has some inlluence. The weak must contribute their share, the strong must lead the way. Organize campaign clubs in every town. Appoint canvassers who will do thorough work.

See every doubtful man, and present the issue fairly. It needs no eloquence to commend its merits to any fair-minded man. The acts of the Administration speak for themselves. They cannot be successfully attacked. Invite attack by challenging our opponents to impeach them, then refute every charge by the presentation of facts.

Spread before the public Republican documents. They will do their work effectually, and set the people thinking. When your clubs are organized, send the names of your officers and your locality to the State Central Committee at Richmond, and request a supply of documents. Work early and late frjm now until November; see that every Republican voter properly deposits his ballot, and then you can rest from your labors and enjoy with good conscience the fruits of the glorious victory jou helped win. You have a leader who has proven as great on the field of polities as he was on the field of battle.

See to it, that he receives from the hands of a grateful people that earnest support which his services entitle him to receive. THE DIFFERENCE. Hands on your Porter is in town," was the greeting which the Petersburg Judex gave Mr. Porter's first appearance in Petersburg. Now it fpeaks of him as the Honorable Charles H.

Porter." Why the difference? Since his first visit Porter has produced divisions, dissensions and discords in the Radical parly." When they believed him true to the Republican party the Democrats had no use for him now as he is of immense value to them, they feel a profound respect for him. If any man attempts to haul down the American flag, bail him on the Horace Oreeleij. We are frequently both by letter in.l privately, what is the grape for v'irginia. We can perhaps best answer his question by giving an account of our )wn experiments during the past four rears. We have grown on trial about one Hiudred and twenty varieties, placing each in, on various soils, slopes and situations, i order to make the experiment more tho'ough.

We have planted from one dozen one hundred vines of each kind, taking lare to secure good vines, true to name. Chey have been well set on ground in fair and in some cases on land subloiled, under-drained, and thoroughly The vines have been well trimmed and horoughly cultivated till they indicated probable value. We have not or condemned any kind upon the result of a single crop. Hut now, at the of the fourth year, we are disposed accept some results as final, especially where they coincide with thoso of experimenters elsewhere. We can set out a vineyard now which will yield returns for market or for wine; varieties also immensely superior to those ordinarily known in this State.

We also think we know where to set it. It has been made clear that southern or eastern slopes will not do for most grapes in our sunny These locations are too hot and Iry. A vineyard should be planted on the hill top. The high plateau is best of all. Gentle slopes are not objectionable.

Coarse varieties, like the Concord, will do in the valleys. We must not try to imitate the hill-side vineyards of the old country, adapted to their climate. If we have to use hill, north and west slopes are best. In all cases deep ploughing or trenching is indispensable to get paying results, and as thorough after-culture as the best farmer gives his corn. Our vines arc grown on the high banks of the Potomac; on clay soil, or on sandy loam, and on coarse gravel mixed with clay.

We have had largo crops of Concord, Ives Seedling, Hartford Prolific, Salem, Norton's Virginia, Herbmont, Delaware, Clinton, and Devereaux. We have had, also, large crops of many of the new varieties which we consider too poor to encourage planting. The above-named varieties Lave held their foliago and ripened large crops in spite of the excessively dry weather, and we think may be relied upon in vhat part of Virginia adapted to grape culture, unless in very unfavorable seasons. Of these the Ives Seedling, Hartford Prolific and Delaware aro the earliest. The Herbmont is tbe latest, and is not fully ripe before October.

The Delaware and Salem are the best table grapes for most we prefer a little more acid. The Herbmont, Devereaux, Norton's Virginia, and several of that class, come from the family of Chicken grapes, and are very juicy, and sprightly in flavor. They make good wine, and are exceedingly wholesome and grateful to the taste, especially of persons recovering from fevers. These grapes should be grown and eaten abundantly iv this climate. They form a natural corrective to the bilious tendency of tho autumn months.

Light wines can be made from them, or the juice can be expressed, scalded and kept sweet in tight bottles, furnishing a healthful beverage at all seasons. For family use we have found out a large number of very fine grapes which are not sufficiently copious bearers to set in the vineyard. Several of the Rogers' Hybrids deserve a place in this list, especially the Wilder, Herbert, Merrirnac, and numbers 1, 3, 4,10,19 the Walter, Israella, Maxatawney Allin's Alvey and Rebecca; the Arnold Canada, Cornucopia and Diana. The Isabella and Catawba should not be omitted, but a few vines set where they can run on the out-buildings or on trees. They will rot otherwise most seasons.

The present season they are ripening a good crop with us even in 'he vineyard. A few vines of each of these varieties will give a supply covering the whole grape season. Some of them ripen as early as August, others not till the middle of (Ictober, and may be kept till New Year's. RICHMOND COLLEGE. We publish in another part of our paper to-day the complimentary card of the Richmond Bar upon William A.

Maury, recently appointed by the Trustees of Richmond College Professor of tho Law School connected with that institution. We have not the pleasure of an acquaintance with Professor Maury, but the high commendation accorded him by the Bar of this city could not have been extorted except by superior legal attainments and great personal worth and fitness for the position he has been selected to fill. We are pleased to see that the Richmond Bar, composed as it now is of many eminent legal gentlemen, is taking so warm and lively an interest in our local college, and especially in that branch of it which promises so large a return of usefulness to the State as does a handsomely endowed and well-filled Law Chair in Richmond. We know of no point the whole South where the experiment of permanently founding a Law School can promise better results than right here in the city of Richmond, and under the auspices of the Richmond College, with its energetic board of trustees and able faculty. We understand that at no time since the foundation of the college havo its prospects been more flattering than those under which it will soon open its fall session.

The attendance in the academical department will be large, and all branches of the institution will be well It is evident that the faculty fully understand the wants and demands of the public, and are slowly paving their way, through the college as the corner-stone of the system, to the proper university foundations. It only remains for the people of Richmond to respond to the efforts of the Trustees and Faculty of Richmond College, in their constantly augmented facilities for instruction, to make our city second to none in time for the high educational advantages of which it may justly boast. Let the present generation of young men in the grade. DANGER OK LOMNG VOTKS KOR (JRANT. The importance of carrying this State for Grant and Wilson at the coming election cannot bo overestimated.

Next in importance to the triumph of our ticket in the country at large, is the triumph of the ticket in this State. We want to rescue Virginia from the tyrannical caucus rule which is now fast ruining her. We want our admirable Constitution, with its grand system of public schools and other beneficient measures, administered by its Jriends and not by its enemies. We want a Governor and Legislature that will bring tolerance, peace and prosperity within all our borders that will encourage immigration and aid in the development of all our and boundless resources. All i can be easily secured by carrying tho State this fall for Grant.

Once rescue this State from the intolerant, prescriptive, Democratic-Walker-Tr e-Republican Conservative and we are free. Future contests will result in easy victories and our full deliverance be at hand. OUR ELMJTOrIn THE FOURTH. Hon. Ross Hamilton was selected by the regular Congressional Convention held at Farmville, on the 10th of July, as the Presidential elector for the Fourth district, to be supported, of course, by the Republicans of the entire State.

It is a matter of just pride that we can present the name of such a gentleman for the suffrage of the people of this State. It is fitting that so worthy a representative of the honest sons of toil should be selected by the people of Virginia as one of their electors to cast the vote of our State for those two noble representatives of the and AVilson. The colored people feel a just pride that one of the best of their race in this State is put forward iv so conspicuous and honorable a position in our public alfairs. The WorlVs "funniest" says it is feared that Mr. Clemens will not meet with a very cordial welcome in "Vance, on account of the manifest similarity between "Mark Twain" and Bis-marck.

Will the World just bandage that fellow's head. Greeley's spacch before the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce is said to have made fully twenty-five votes for General Grant in that body, his financial theories disgusting many business men who intended to vote for the Liberal candidate. "I Commend my cause to the sober judgment of the American people," said Greeley at Louisville. "My came is, elect me to the Presidency, all the other causes which I have advocated may go to he dogs." Mr. Greeley descended at Indianapolis to the depth of repeating and elaborating the Credit Mobilier slander.

How much lower, Horace We intended to have published the Norton Expose in our yesterday's issue, but it was unavoidably crowded out by the pressure of other matter. OFFICIAL.
