Yellow Fever.

| The Yellow Fever continues 10 carry
off its victims in Norfolk and Portsm outh
with fearful rapidly. Although the mum.
Der OF new cases has decreased the fact does
not argue the abatement Of the scourge-
inasmuch as the m aterial has been greatly
diminished. Many OF the best and most
prominent citizens Of both cities have fal.
len as ITS victims. The mortality among
the Physicians mas been very great-a cir
cumstance. more than anything else, TO BE-
deplored, a, they have invariably, proved
themselves heroes in the sickness which
has SO severely visited those two cites.-
Indeed, never has there been shown lruer
courage, and more self-sacrifcins devotion
| 10 the responsible and arduous duties of
their profession, than has been exhibited
by the members of the medical fraterni-
ty who have cast themselves, as i. were,
right in the jaws of death, to serve their
fellow men. All honor to those noble
spirits, who have, in the cause of humani-
ty, fallen beneath the power OF the yellow
DEATH Monuments OF gold, could not
sufficiently attest the weigEty obligations
felt by the people Of our State at large, or
portray athe deep feeling of veneraton,
which in common. swcIls the bosom of
every friend of humanity. They have
marched up to the work like martyrs TO
the stake, aud grappled with the grim
monster face to face. The lasting graft
tade Of Virginia is theirs. Could bitter
tears and deep signs bring back the noble
souls which have been snatched from
earth. and Terminate the decaying bodies
of the physicians who have gone down TO
the tomb from Norfolk and Portsmouth,
they would again be Of us. Blu, this can.
not be. They have gone TO a higher re.
ward than any human tenderness and az
fiction could offer.

Banking In Virginia.

The newspapers of the State have CONF
menced the discussion of the two systems
Of Banking which are now in operation
III Virginia. At the next session OF the
Legislature, the old, or close corporation
Banks. Will ask for a renewal Of their char
tiers. The friends Of the new, o, indepen.
dent Banks, will oppose the application,
and seek to have engrafted upon our statute
book general Banking law, which will
extend the Banking privilege to all who
may comply with the requirements OF that
law. We do not propose, at present, to
enter into the discussion of the merits of
the competing interests here mentioned
At future period, we may do so. Suffice
it to say, that the people are deeply inter-
ested in the matter. Those banking in
situations which dispense their favors to
the many, and subserye the interests Of the
community at large, should be fostered and
sustained. We cannot believe that the
FEASIBILITY Of theory will SO betake the
minds Of our Legislators as 20 induce them
TO lose sight of the actual 6eneGts-the
practical results of the operation Of a
system.
As prime question, we are opposed to
all banks, because we believe, as a gene.
raj proposition, they are an injury TO the
community 10 which they are located
For the reason--shey cultivate spirit Of
speculation and venture-they create bu-
siness upon fictitious capital-thus deceiy-
ing and Frequently running the credulou,

ested-that is the question to which we

Seeing Into a Milestone.

Seeing Into Milestone.
There have been various editorial AZ
ticlas published in this paper, within the
past few weeks, referring to the resolu-
tions Of the Soft Shell Convention of New
York. Those resolutions we condemned,
and now repeat the opinions then express.
ed. The Editor Of the Union Republican
having the power to see further into
milestone than most people, perceives in
the sentiments expressed by US now, a cob
tradiction of what we wrote fes months
ago. when we denounced the Hards be-
cause Of their iactious opposition to the
administration. At The same time, how
ever, of expressing our OPT MON in regard
to their constant grumbling with the Ad-
ministraton, we endorsed the sentiments
contained in their resolutions upon the
great questions Of the day. The Hards
virtual, acknowledged the nationality of
the Administrators, by approving the great
act which, more than any other, has dis
tinguished it; yet without assigning a siu
gle reason, except disappointment in get
ting office. and jealousy o: the few crumbs
that hare fallen to the Softs, they denoun.-
ed the President. There was neither rea-
son, jus'ice or expedency 10 such course.
1t was this in the Hards that I've opposed
it is this we now oppose; because there
can be no argument advanced to justify it.
Our nsighbor OF the Republican, however,
makes out the case for himself, by quoting
from us language we never used-senti-
ments we never entertained or expressed,
viz: The lizards were corrupt faction,
determined to rule or ruin the National
Democratic Party" We defy the Editor
10 produce the article from which he quotes.
We defy him to show single sentence
we have ever written which, either di-
rectly OF impliedIy, conveys any such sem
timent as that quoted above. We have
never for moment thought that the Hards
or the Solts had the power either to "rule"
or ruin" the "National Democracy
| We have never attached sufficient impor-
lance to the miserable political factions Of
New York, to suppose that their favor, or
the favor OF any one Of them, could give
shade or caste. in the remotest degree, to,
or IN anywise leopard or advance, the
interests of the great Democratic party
That party is above New York factions.
1t is exceedingly funny, the way in
which the editor of the Republican would
convict us Of inconsistency. He depends
upon his exceedingly tieacherous memory
for correct statement of what we have
Said-assumes. his positions, and then quotes
language upon US which we had new
er heard of before, to sustain himself We
would take it as an especial favor if our
neighbor would allow us the privilege Of
at least stating our tide of the question
hereafter We feel some solicitude about
our Consistency and we are sure if the
Republican is permitted to attribute to Us
any sentiments he may wish, to make
good his charges. we will be presented TO
the public in rather twisted up predlca-
ment. We protest against his memory be-
ing his sole reliance. He had better bor-
row our files. They would be much more
reliable.
