Needless Alarm.

Much unnecessary excitement. grow
ing out of reports Of Instruction, exists
in Virginia. Our own section has not es
capped the conlagion flying rumors, IN
substantial as bubbles, have appeared ano
disappeared, like bubbles.
Fears more groundless could not vel
be entertained. There may have been
some foundation for the reports in the
Southwestern States possibly there
may be colo ing Of truth in some oil
the ruuors which have reached us from
various portions Of our own State but
so far as Shepherds town and the surround
ing country is concerned, we are well
persuaded that an insurrection has not
been contemplated and will not be al
tempted. Ii is, we firmly believe, a pan
ic.-and nothing more.
Blu, "iorewarned forearmed," is all old
and good saying. The community will
no doub, act in accordance with this
adsge. Tie police will be strengthened
and organized in The cities the system
Of patrol re-es,ablshed in the counties {;
and none of us will be the worse for it.
In short time This needless alarm will
have subsidized, leaving behind no traces,
except better order both in town and
country.

Christmas.

"In the olden times Of merry England
and even in times gone by, in this land
Of ours, this festival was celebrated in a
manner calculated 10 cultivate and keep
active the more generous feelings anI SEN
timen,s of our nature. We read in old
books of happy assemblages in Baronlai
halls and cottage kltchens--of families
gathering about the old hearth-s,ones at
each return of this suspicious season, to
rejoice together over the good things be-
slowed upon them, and 10 brighten the
kindly affections that may have become
somewhat dulled and rusted by absence,
and the business cares OF life. Old PO-
els have endeared these memories TO US
by many sweet and joyous song; and
have handed down to US the significant
customs and beautiful traditions that clus-
tered arouad the birthday of mans high
est hopes and lofiest aspirations, In these
good old times and as we read, we sigh
for the evergreen wreath that decked the
halls--lhe misleioe--,he vue log and the
boar's head, and our fore-ialher's hearty
and unaffected enjoyment of the Christ
mas festivities.
The world is more polislIed--more
highly cultivated in mind and manner:

brothers, and entitled, in their severa
spheres. to an equal enjoyment Of wha
good there may be in this world. The
Poetry Of all our holy days is gone an'
their cold ceremonial observance now |:
but hollow mockery.

have endeavored to persuade the public
that Mrs. Stoves asst work is aTlislicaIIy
a failure, and that ii has produced no pro-
found impression on either side OF the
Atlantic.
But the Publishers are happy to state,
that of the many hundreds of American
notices which they have received, the
vast majority have been decidedly favora-
bic, most of them enthusiastic. And Tie
sale thus far has exceeded that of any
Work Of Fiction ever published 1.-The
.Hriy sighih Thousand set, of two vol
umcS each, being now October 3 in
press.
In England, the success has been even
more wonderful. The press there. with
but one or two exceptions, acknowledge
the genius and power of the author. and
in terms of which any living writer Inighi
be proud. And during the twelve days
succeeding its publication, no fewer than
Sirfy Thousand Copies were sold.
The universal voice OF literary men
now place Mrs. Stowe among the tore
most authors of the Age, and neilhe' par

ry, can ever deprive her OF the laurels
she has so nobly earned.
