For The Staunton Spectator.
A BREW cry.

Mr.. Harper:-Will you be good enough to
call the attention of the public to the fact that
there is not single Brewery in the County
of Augusta Whilst there are So distiieries
in our county, which during the last year
produced ninety thousand and eight hundred
gallons of whiskey, there was not gallon of
beer manufactured amongst us. j should be
very happy if this state of things were re-
versed, and beer were brought into general
use as a substitute for whiskey. 1t certainly
is much more wholesome, and TO most con-
sumers, more pleasant beverage than whis-
key. Why then should it not be introduced!
Can no one be found with sufficient enter
prise to attempt it ? 1t seems to me that it
must certainly prove profitable. We have a
population of near 10000, and surely there
would be large demand for home consump-
ton. There is now good deal sold in our
shops, but it is all brought from abroad
Permit me TO commend this subject to the
friends of temperance. 1t seems to me that
experience has shown the impracticablity of
inducing people to abandon all stimuants.-
Let us then be content with the greatest prac-
ticable good, and introduce a comparatively
innocent drink as a substitute for whiskey,
which deranges the mind, corrupts the heart,
poisons the body, and destroys the soul

REMOVALS FRoM OFFIcE.-We hope among
the removals from Office, which the ms seem
to apprehend, and the outs to claim, one man
in particular will be spared. He is a post
master in Maine, near the Aroostook line,
who when Col. Barry took command of the
Post Office Department, and was sweeping
all before him in the shape Of reform, address
sed him letter which ran in the following
vein -
"Ny Dear Colonel The sound Of your
broom which is now sweeping the Augean
stables is echoing among these distant hills !;
village and forest are alike filled with dis
may the birds forsake the woods, the trem-
bling infant flies to its mothers arms, and
even strong men find their joints give way :
they shake like Belshazzar at the visionary
hand that wrote his death-doom. | tremble
for my office--I have eleven small children,
and nine of them are girls-it yields me now
three dollars and thirty seven and half cts.

0J@I'he Richmond Enquirer avows its de-
termination not to relax its efforts to keep to-
gether the discounted forces of the now Adj
ministration party, and is continually eXhort-
ing its friends to vigilance and activity
Some of the other presses of the party, with
view to the attainment of the same end,
have already proclaimed their candidates for
the Presidency in 1914. The Woodstock
Sentinel re-nominates Mr.. VAN buren,, and
the Valley Star (no doubt better advised,)
runs up the flag of THOMAS III. BENTON, and
proclaims "War, war to the knife,'' against
the Administration of Gen. HARMsoN-thus
condemning it in advance. All this does not
surprise us. We have long believed that
Benton was to be the successor of Mr.. Van
Buren,, in the event that the clique at Wash
ington should succeed in bringing the coun-
try under the party subjugation at which it
was aiming-and we looked forward to the
contamination of the plot with greater dread
on that very account. Now, however, these
movements cause us no uneasiness. The
daring conspiracy against the public liberty
has been detected, and signally rebuked by
the people; and the tools and workers in it,
who Were only held together by the "spoils''
of plundered country, will soon be dispers-
ed, and left without the power to do mischief.
An organization will no doubt be attempted
by them before their final separation but i
will prove feeble and unavailing. The just
and liberal Administration of Gen. Harrison
will render it odious even to large proper
ton Of the recent supporters Of MIR. Van Blu
rem. They will not fail to see that the prin-
ciples and character of Gen. Harrison have
been grossly misrepresented, and that the
opposition to him is factous and unjust, and
therefore sinister, and ought not to be coun-
tenanced OF trusted. Gen. Harrison, it is
known, will not be a candidate for re-elec-
ton, and consequently there can be no excuse
for opposition to his Administration, even on
the poor pretext of personal dislike. He has
been called to the Presidency by the over
whelming voice of his countrymen, and ifhe
conducts the affairs of the Government prop
erly, as we have no doubt he will, what
motive or interest is it, we would ask, that
requires he should be opposed Certainly
none that is common to the body Of the peo-
pie. 1t must be an interest peculiar and
seliish--one which, assuming whatever dis
guise it may, is to be dreaded, as incompati-
Bile with the spirit and genius of our institu-
tons, and as opposed to the best interests Of
the country.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

Illinois has gone for Van Buren, by ma
jority of about 500, and Alabama by 400
four counties to be heard from, which will
probably increase the majority. Conceding
to Mr.. Van Buren, the vote of South Carroll
ma, as we suppose we may, the vote in the
Electoral Colleges will stand, for Gen. Har-
rison 23l, and for Mr.. Van Buren, COMA
king Gen. Harrison's majority l74-and his
whole vote &c more than is necessary to G.
