VERY GooD-The Petersburg CVa) Inel1i-
gencer The K. N. organ, meets his defeat in n
very good temper. He moralizes:
The contest being over, it is now fultime
TO let The acrimonious spirit, which has charac-
terized it in unprecedented manner, subside
To our brethren of the press Of both parties
We would say: We have all had our faults
(none is more conscious of his own than the
writer Of this arlicle)-we have all gone too
far and have used language too iutemperate,
indeed scurrilous, for u press which, in theory
at least is the guide and instructor of the pub.
lie, and therefore doubly responsible for the
example it SET. The campaign over, the press
of Virginia will have ample rime to Look into
other matters than mere party politics, and mat
ters too of infinite Importance. We have our
noble old State and her multiform interests 10
attract our attention and engage our most earn
est efforts, and this should invite the honorable
contest among the members of the profession
Us to who shall contribute most to the glorious
work of making Virginia what she ought to be
and what she can and will be if her sons are
true to her.
Before we lay down our pen we take leave
10 say that we are not soft enough to suppose
that we shall escape repeated gjbes jecrs and
Jokes fired off by The successful party. Well,
of this we shall not complain, inasmuch as we
should have done these things ourself had the
boot been on the other leg. He may laugh
who wins, is maxim as old as the hills, and we
shall call philosophy to our sid and bear our
of broad grins with all possible

A combat occurred on the night Of the Oath

vances Of the allies are approaching Sebastopol
surely though slowly.

more apparent. A conference between the
representatives of these two powers is in pro-
gress.
