EXCITEMENT ON TAYLOR'S FARM, NORFOLK COUNTY-FEDERAL OFFICERS DRIVEN OFF-FRUITS OF RADICAL TEACHING,-We give below the facts in regard to the proceedings of the blacks on Taylor's farm. It seems that they have determined to hold high carnival and fight it out on that line in defiance of Mr Johnson, the Freedmen's Bureau, or any other man. It appears that a party of gentlemen visited Taylor's farm, on Sunday, the 6th instant, among whom were officials authorized to offer each negro family a house and employment, or sell them cleared lands at a low price and give them three and five years to pay for them. The negroes called a meeting and organised by electing Anthony Butler President, and Ethan Rocket Secretary.

Propositions were made to the negro people for their consideration by Capt. John De Pass, who in a very brief manner explained to them that they were occupying the Taylor farm without warrant of law; that the Government had turned the property over to Mr. Taylor, and he

WASHINGTON AND LEE ASSOCIATION.
the regular quarterly meeting of this association was held in the lecture-room of the Presbyterian Church on Monday, October 7th. The following officers were elected for the enusing year, via:
President-Miss H. L. Hunter.
Vice-Presidents - Mrs. F. Mallory and Mrs Leroy M. Lee.
Treasurer-Mrs George Reid.
Secretary-Mr. William H. Broughton.
Directresses-Mistresses George. D. Armstrong, Pinkham, M. A. timberlaker, S.R. Borum, W.D. Reynolds, A.F. Leonard, G. Dey, J.Ro. Lewellen, J.C. Kendall, D.O. Gardener, M. Wertheimer, John Peters, J.H. Hendren, Newton Fitz, J. McIntosh, M. Lacompte, Viginia Duncan, E. Campie, A.G. Newton, S.W. Seldner, Cofier, S.S. Stubss, K, Biggs, E.A. Hallett, Misses Virginia Fiveash, M.A. Vicery.
The Association has under its care five indigent mothers, whose sons, their only support, were killed in battle; thirty-four widows of Confederate soldiers and eight-seven orphans. The number of children at school is sixty-five.
The following articles of clothing and provisions were distributed during the year: Canton flannel, 79 yards; 139 yards of Cassimere, 810 yards of calico, 615 yards of cotton cloth, 122 yards of cottonade, 84 yards of flannel, 119 pairs of socks and hose, 202 pairs of shoes, 169 spools of cotton, 25 bundles of threads 64 dozen buttons, 78 hats and bonnets, 333 pounds of flour, 193 pounds of bacon, 105 pounds of sugar, 13 pounds of rice, 19 1/2 bushels of meal, 2 1/2 gallons of molasses.
The Directresses of the Association would earnestly appeal to the citizens of Norfolk in behalf of this object, which commends itself to the earnest sympathies of all. A committee of ladies has been appointed to solicit aid for the furtherance of the Association, and it is confidently hoped that their application will meet with a hearty response.

WILLIAM AND MARY COLLEGE.- We clip from the Richmond Whig the following, which will interest a large number of this community:
WILLIAMSBURG, October 1, 1867.
To the Editor, of the Richmond Whig:
Be pleased to mention in the Whig that a handsome contribution has been amde by the Buckingham Slate Company, through General Mulford, the President, and Colonel Ordway, the Secretary of the Company, towards rebuilding the college of William and Mary at Williamsburg. Such liberality, originating with the gentlemen named, deserves all commendation.
Most respectfully,
BENJ. S. Ewell,
President of William and Mary College.
This act is all the more commendable from the relation which these gentlemen bore to our people a short time ago-both General Mulford and Colonel Ordway having been officers in the United States army, and the former well known as the Federal commissioner for the exchange of prisoners.

REGISTRATION.-The official returns of registration in this city show that 1,844 whites, and 1,955 negroes registered at the first Board.
The returns of the second registration will not materially change the relative strength of the white and negro vote either way. By the above returns the negro majority in the city is put at 111. This majority will doubtless be reduced by a number of negroes having left the city who registered before the first Board. On Tuesday twenty-five white persons registered at the Courthouse, while the full strength of the negro vote has been fully brought out.

PRECAUTIONARY.-In order to make [asurance?] doubly sure and to provide against any possibility of the [[?]]
accident as we recorded yesterday, the builders of the new hotel are securing the partition walls by props, in order that they may become settled and firm. The remainder of the wall which fell on Tuesday has been pulled down, and; is now being rebuilt, with the purpose of making it.

We clip the following from the Richmond Whig, of yesterday:
"There were several parties in the city yesterday from Norfolk buying up flour. We presume the quotations in the Norfolk, as given in the papers there, if they be correct, are the inducements. "Some of the parties from Norfolk, not confining themselves to Richmond are buying om the surrounding districts. We don't know whether the quotations as given in the Norfolk dealers can be accounted for on the ground that sold out by retail it will pay. It is possible, however, that the Norfolk market may be bare. It may be too, that Norfolk speculators are buying, calculating on an advance in flour, which many people in the produce trade are confidently expecting."

PRIVATE PORTER. -The Richmond
Examiners gives the following good advice to the negroes of Chesterfield in regard to the nomination of such men as Porter as "floating candidates" for the Convention:
"If the negro voters had have nominated some respectable man of their own color in Powhatan, and Jordan Smith negro of this county in conjunction with Carter, they would have displayed infinitely more judgment, and been represented by men to the manor-horn, and not by interloping adventurers. As it is, we have no doubt that Jordan Smith, as an independent candidate will be able effectually to squelch Mr. Porter in Chesterfield, as "Doctor" Rayne did in Norfolk."

MEETING OF SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.
At a meeting of the Soldiers and Sailor's Union, held on Wednesday evening, October 9th, the following resolution was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, 1st. That the primary object of this Association is to promote friendly relations between members to perpetuate the feeling of fellowship among brothers-in-arms and to render to one another mutual aid and relief.
Resolved. 2d. That we decline to consider the Soldiers and Sailor's Union as an organization committed to the support of any candidate for office hitherto named or suggested, while we reserve the right hereafter to take such political actions as a regard for our own interest and those of the country we have helped to save my dictate.

MAYOR'S COURT. -Mayor John R. Ludlow presiding.
Geo. Scott a runaway negro boy, was sent to jail at the request of his mother.
James Burke and Owen Morris, two sailors, arrested for drunkenness, and taken to the watch house for safe keeping. They were discharged.
The watch reported the city unusually quiet, which was confirmed by the small number of delinquents.

Thomas Collins. -- This gentleman, one of the bricklayers injured by the falling of the wall at the new Atlantic Hotel in Norfolk, was not so badly injured as was at first feared. He was out yesterday, and will be able to return to work in a day or two.

LONG FACES.--The knots of the "faithful" standing around on the corners yesterday was rather ominous that a hot shot had been fired into the Radical magazine at the North. Papers were in great demand, and accountants were busy cyphering out the returns.

PORTSMOUTH LOCAL MATTERS.
NOTICE.-Mr. L. R. SAVAGE is the regularly authorised agent of the VIRGINIAN in Portsmouth. All orders for subscription, advertisements, &c., left with him at the office of Savage & Dillon, auctioners, will meet with prompt attention.

RAID ON A BAKE HOUSE.--Two negro [[?]] being rather hungry "we suppose and not one cent in their financial lockers to raise the wind, stopped into the bread shop of Chas. Cabler, on King street, and called for two loaves of bread. When handed to them they made off with the staff of life, without leaving the proper equivalent in stamps. Officers baker and Harrison are on their trail.
