By many of our citizens, among others, our
neighbors of the Spectator. Now we have
been out once or twice, for the especial pur-

the direction in which the comet is represent

from the "Warrenton Flag Of '9S."
"Mr. e. G. Yeak!e, Of Winchester, Va. !,

We know Mr.. Y. intimately, and though
quite a young man we doubt if there is one
in the State who knows more about clock

MUS at his calling. If the citizens Of
Staunton and the county Of Augusta know
their interest they will patronize him liber-
ally.

Acknowledgement.

It is delightful to know, Notwithstanding
the usual Indifference of the world to us,
that there are some who occasionally take
pity on us and show it by their acts more
than their words. Among this number is
our friend Peter Houser, of this county,
who lately testified his high regard for us
and our services, by sending us basket

The democrats of the old and time honor
ed State have made their nominations for
the autumnal contest and seem determined
to put forth every exertion to elect them.
A grand mass meeting is called for the Goth
of September, to ratify these nominations
and make arrangements suitable for the
campaign. We wish them success, for it is
the only hope to relieve this State from the
sway Of Black Republicanism and give her
as she should have, first rank among the
States, a standing which she long ago won
and retained, until fanaticism, with its thou
sands Of evils, enveloped her like mist and
lowered her in the estimation of her sister
States.

Tournament at Stribling Springs.

1t is evident that old times are not quite
forgotten even in this fast age, as was evil
denced by the display Of beauty and worth
at the Augusta Springs on to-day, to take
part in grand tournament.
Before II o'clock NJ, a large concourse
of ladies and gentlemen assembled on the
sward, exhibiting any amount Of the best
feelings, and ready to do more than justice
to the victor.
Mon. Chas. Du Four was elected Presi-
dent, and the following gentlemen Judges,
viz: Doctors Berkely and Garrett, Esqs.
John Hyde, W. D. Anderson, and l. j..
Parkins.
There were six Knights in the field, but
we must decline naming them. The scene
and occasion were made more interesting
by most exquisite music from SCOTS Brass
Band of Richmond.
From IL till 3 o'clock, there was one con-
tinual round Of applause, as many, if not
all, the Knights made most excellent tits.
One gentleman, Mr.. John II. Parkins was
more than victorious; next came Mr.. John
H. Crawford, and last Of the three, Mr.
James E. Bell.
After the interesting ceremonies were
over. 1.-The whole assemblage Immediately con-
vened to the Hotel, where after sundry -
hearty dinner added to the good feeling SO
prevalent.
At night, the Queen, Miss Lillian June,
was crowned in most impressive and beau
tifu! manner, and the night whiled away in
the enjoyment Of a grand Ball.
The lateness of the hour, prevents us do
ing passible justice to this never to be for
gotten day. May more like unto it.

The Apology Of tho Know Nothings for
CoaleScing with the Black Republi-

VVaAOSOAuS Win INC DldCA ncpuDll-
: cans.
Both the Wing and Spectator base their
appeals to their friends for coalition Of all
the elements Of the opposition, on the
grounds that the slavery issue is extinct,
and the Kansas question settled.
Now what glazing inconsistency is this.
From the premise that the Democracy had
raised a storm Of sectional strife which moth
ing could allay, they have launched their
fercest invectives, - anticipating the re-
opening next winter, Of the Kansas contro-
versy in all, and more than all its former
intensity, and assuming that the democratic
party is the cause Of it all, they have claaa-
ored for the overthrow Of that party aad
the establishment Of themselves in power,
but now that that they wish to shake hands
with Giddingssnd Massa Greeley, they hes
itate not and blush not to avow. in spite Of
their own oft reiterated assertions to the
contrary, their belief that all fear Of sla-
very agitation for the future is at an end.
Now we are bound to believe one Of two
things, either that public sentiment, both at
the north and south has undergone com
plcte revolution in the last month, or that
the Richmond Wing and Staunton Specta-
tor have turned a complete summerset.
In fact, there is not this alternative left,
for at one time we see the Wing come out
with one editorial solemnly asserting that
the slavery agitation is at an end, and an
other fiercely denouncing the Democracy on
account Of their policy in regard to Kan
sas. which must inevitably reopen the s.nig-
ger" question again in Congress next win
ter. @ 3 f# aff
Now we readily admit that if affairs were
in the state in which the opposition repre-
sent them to be, they would be excused il
not justified in cooperating with northern
men on national issues, which effected both
sections Of the Union alike, but since the
premise on which they base their whole ar
gument is proved out Of their own mouths
to be false, it is useless to ask any sensible
man to believe in or countenance for mo-
ment, a system based on that premise.

The Atlantic Cable,

The good people Of America are gradu-
ally working themselves into considerable
''stew" on the subject of the wonderful At.
lantic telegraph, on account Of which, bon.
fires and City Halls were burned, unheard
Of quantities of fre-crackers were set off,
numberless arms. legs and necks were bro.
ken, in the wild, delirious joy of tue first
discovery that two worlds had been joined
together, whose hearts would forever after,
''beat IN unison," &c.
The wet blanket which has been thrown
over our rejoicing, and generated such a
wonderful "change in the spirit of our
dream" is the discovery that may be the
cable is gigantic failure after all. This
doubt seems very naturally to he presented
to the mind, on account Of the unaccounta-
BILE delays which the public ksow to have
taken place, and for which no reason has as
yet been vouchsafed to them, and because
of the numberless difficulties which the Ca
BILE may have met with down Gin the faith
omless depths Of the ocean," about which
no philosopher, astronomer or mathematic-
ian can have any idea.
The American public have still another
cause for alarm. It has just struck us ''all
in heap that perhaps our prayers for the
neutrality Of the cable, after the work has
been completed, may not be successful with
the British Lion. If we had not been
quite so verdant we would have taken care
not to 60 off half cooked. and made these
stipulations with England before contribut-
irg our part Of the labor. It is not very
probable Great Britain will listen to US, and
comply with any conditions not entirely
agreeable to her, now that the work is fin
ished and we are no longer needed Any
how, we ardently hope for the success of
the cable, if only to demonstrate the posi-
bihty Of the enterprise, and if the present
one does not suit us, enterprising Brother
Jonathan will soon have one OF his own.
Why are the office-holders and Office
seekers so frightened after all? What is
there SO dreadful in the idea Of two Wash
ingtons-two metropolitan cities-two sets
Of Secretaries Of State with all their depart
ments-two 'lobbies' two great centres
Of the crinoline power-two contracts for
public printing and binding? Let prudent
patriots consider the matter in this point of
view.
The above we clip from the ".Somhern
Citizen. It certainly IS new light, and
a very pleasing one for politicians to view
disunion in, but one we presume, which has
no charms for the honest masses of the peo-
pie.
