How easy for me to make fools, and deeeivei

And now they can see and love nothing but black:
And whatever is t.ae, good and right they'll at

They will come at my call, and win run at my

And think they are running, and working for

Departure OF virginains from Atchlson.
We learn that Messrs. M. S. String
fellow. John 7. Scott. WIn. c. Mutt, and
Samuel B. Cundihr.' contemplate leaving
hrchison in a few days for the Old Do
minion, their native State, toreturn in ear
ly spring.
Their high toned and chivalrous senti-
raents. their polished manners and gener-
Gus feelings have endeared them to all
who have known them, and we extend to
them the right hand offellowsh;p as broth
or Squatters in Kansas. But these quail
tiles so characteristic of the Virginian. are
always accompanied by an amor pGt1iG
unequalled in warmth, and unrivalled in
fidelity by the natives Of any other portion
Of our country. Wherever his rowing dis
position may lead him, his heart ever
yearns for the land Of his birth. and pull
safes with pride when the name Of his
STATE is called.
In regard to Our young friends, we hope
that the many advantages which our town
viii inevitably afford them during the EN-
ssine season, may prove a sufficient IL
ducement TO bring them back 10 Kansas
and we shall be delighted to. greet them
especially ifthey are accompanied by az
equal number Of the iair daughters Of Vr.
ginia, TO whom we gladly recommend them
as good bcys, who are "soa;nd en- h'
goose"
However should the attractions of The
Old Dominion. prevent any OF them from
again braving the. hardships Of frontie
life, we can assure them that the merT,
occupants of Fort Defence" will be eve
remembered in Atchison, with emotions O
pleasure and regret.
We wish them pleasant trip to thei
respective homes, a jolly time during tn
winter and quick return to Kansas il

at our office, and in his conversation with

that threats have been made by some OF

destroyed by any of them a fearful retribu-
