Eva
"Bloom, bright, fair flowers, around the white
stone
Where sccpeth my Eva, my loved one and my
own;
Who departed in sadness and left me alone,
Sweet Eva, my loved nnc, my own.
She was the idol Of lifes early day.
But, fearing the censure that worldlings might
say,
Pride tore my weak heart from Eva away,
From Eva, sweet Eva, away
She died-it were better than living apart,
She died-and the sunlight went out from my
heart,
She died-and The cold world no JOY can impart,
From Eva no JOY can impart"

The pansl Controversy.

most important controversy is now going
ON in Europe, in regard to the temporal power
of the Pope of Rome. Since the year 1872 'he
Pope has been kept in his seat as temporal
prince by the ten thousand French soldiers wne
mount guard around the Vatican. ut cannon
be denied" said Paris newspaper recently
shat the Papal government only maintains It
self by the support of France, and that h0me
ike all the other cities of the Pontihcal ota'es
would have made its pronunc'anaento II Francs
had not been there. How many times have We
heard it saia by the impartial Italians who hae
stndied the state of affairs, if the French army
were to leave Rome by one gate, the revolution
would enter by the other" This disatfectiol
on the part of the people of Romsgna, is at
tributed by the same journal to "the bad al
ministration of the cardinals government, th'
refusal to adopt any sort of reform, the constan
violation of the most solemn promises and mos
sacred engagements, and the constant relectlol
of the most disinterested and most friendly coun
sels."
Under tbese circumstances, some change IL
the government Of the Roman States IS desired
by the Catholic powers and many Jealous adj
herents of the Romish Church. 1t is evident
they think, that a Pope maintained in bis plac
by French or Austrian troops cannot be In
dependent and hence it has been suggested tina
be shall surrender lis temporal government, AM
confne himself exclusively to his spiritual tunc
tons. In accordance with "a public outer,
through all Europe" says another Paris news
paper, the WORD ''reform," in reference TO til
Ponti6cal government, was inserted in the pre-
Iliminaries of Villafranca and while the treat
is pending, the partizaus of the Pope, known
the ''ultramontane" party, have dashed them
selves into fury of passion at the idea ofaskin
liberal eonoessiop from his Holiness. The news
paper first quoted says they threaten The km
perors and Kings Of the present day as TN
Jesuits mensced Henry w., aud would excite
religious crusade on the subject if they could
The faithful, it adds, might we'll blush to conhn'
themselves to prayer 10 favor of the Pope, ant
ask "whether there is not some temporsl yen
geance to be taken against those who are point
ed out to them as liars, heretics, schismatlcs
sc. This is the spirit in which the controversy
is waged,-the termination of the affair is
waited with great interest.

A Piece of Assurance.

A gentleman OF this county has received
through the Post Office, circular from the New
York Tribune office, setting forth the merits Of
that paper and appealing for assistance in ex-
tending its circulation. To cap the climax Of
assurance, several copies of the Weekly Tribune,
containing an offensive article on the Harper's
Ferry conspiracy, have been sent to the same
address, as specimen of what the paper is
''Horace Greedy & Co." will perhaps be surprised
to learn that the gentleman upon whose assis
lance they have counted, is a large STAKEHOLDER

The Richmond Fair.

The Fair of the Central Agricultural Society
which came off in Richmond last week, seems
to have given general satisfaction. The addres:
delivered by the Hon. A. II. II. Stuart on Thurs
day, is spoken of as very able and eloquent
production. We presume it will be published
and, if possible, We will lay it before our readers

REMARKABLE DEvELopMENTs.-T New Yorl
Herald of the 9th publishes some remarkable
documents bearing upon the recent affair a.
Harper's Ferry. They are principally letters
from Col. Fl. Forbes to various prominent ab
olitionists. This Col. Forbes is Scotchman BY
birth. and has served in the British army and
with Garibaldi in Italy. When the disturb
ances of 1S4S in Europe were suppressed, be
came to this country, and for while was en-
ployed in the office of the New York Tribune
During the Kansas troubles he was engaged by
the Free Sellers to 90 to that Territory and give
some military instruction to their men. Thus
he became acquainted with OssawaIomie Brown
Early in 1868, however, he complained that his
family, who were still in Europe, were suffering
from the failure of his employers to pay him 81
promised, and wrote letters to various leading
Aboltionists, making known his wants, and al
ludng also to other matters. One ofhs letters,
dated May IA, 1858, addressed to Dr. Howe, Of
Boston, alludes to Browns scheme for sezing
Harper's Ferry, and gives the details OF it, but
condemns the project, and says the arms ought
to be taken from Brown. He proposed another
plan for accomplishing the same object. In an
other letter to DIR. Howe, he tells about an in
terview he had with Senator Seward at Wash
ington, says he "went fully into the whole
matter" and Seward regretted that he had been
told. 1t does not appear how the Herald OBJ
tanned these letters, but if they are genuine, Dr'
Howe, Seward, aud other persons who were
priyy to the conspiracy, deserve the same tate
as Old Brown. The DR.. Howe mentioned is
the celebrated teacher of the blind, who went
to Greece in his youth to take part in the wal
against the Turks. His philanthropy was un-
questioned until he turned fanatic on the sub
isect of Abolitionism. The whole story is dis
credited by some persons.

County Map.

We lately examined map Of Cumberland
county, Pennsylvania, presented by the Rev
George Morris, of that county, to Maj. j. NJ
McCue. The scale is three inches to the mile
thus making the map too large for convenient
reference, but in other respects it is the most
complete thing of the kind we have ever SEEM
Besides the mountains, water courses, towns,
roads, Post Offices, churches, and mills, the
Townships Corresponding to our Magisterial
Districts) are delineated, in different coors, and
the residence of every farmer in the county is
put down. On the margin plans of the towns
and villages are given, with the names of the
property holders. Maj. McCue has left the map
at the'ofice of N. K. Trout, Esq, for inspection
that it may serve as model for the proposed
map of this county. The price at which the map
is sold is $500.

Who CAUSE THE DUELss-The N. 7. Times
says: "The whole Administration Press and
party applauded the personal assaults OF Toombs
Mason, Brown and Jones upon Senator Douglas
for opposing the Lecompton policy The whole
Douglas and Republican Press was equally en-
phatic in approving Mr.. Brodericks coarse de-
ANNEXATION of the President and of DIR. Gwin.-
Each party is equally ready to applaud insult and
invective when employed on its behalf; and both
are equally Mortified when these lead to their e-
Ultimate results. We shall have no reform in as
destinations until we have a radical reform in
the coarse abuse which leads to them; and this
we cannot look for until our people become more
tolerant of political differences, and less exacting
and despotic in their party discipline"
There is too much bitter truth in these re-
marks We do not perceive that there is any
thing to choose among the different political par
ties, in this matter. Our party contests are car
ried on with a virulent asd savage ferocity that
provokes brute violence. and the remedy is to be
sought in higher civilization and the diffusion
of more Christian principles. We could point
to one of the best conducted daily papers of this
city that invariably sneers at every attempt to
settle duels without blood, and its remarks are
fitted to promote the idea that duels are not to
be condemned by men of the world.-Ne'o York

Browns Antecedents.

Some Northern papers which condemn Browns
conduct at Harper's Ferry, still seek to mitigate
his crime by asserting that he was made desper-
ate and almost crazy by the treatment he receiv-
ed 10 Kansas. He was, however, no peaceful
settler in that Territory. but went there for a
bloody purpose, and thus brought his sufferings
upon himself. Moreover, his admirer and asso-
oiate in Kansas, James Redpath, says in reference
to the recent conspiracy: "It was not mad
idea concOcted at Fair in Ohio, but mighty
purpose, born of religious convictions, t0haeh h
,sourished IN his heart for halfG life time"

Opposition Meeting in Highland.

At meeting OF portion of the Opposition
party of the county Of Highland, held at the Court
! House, on Thursday, the goth of October, 1869,
John Snyder, ST., was called to the Chair, and
DR.. Vim. Q. Jones appointed Secretary.
The object of the meeting having been briefly
stated by Col. George w. Hull, the following
preamble and resolutions were by him offered
land unanimously adopted:
Whereas, 1t is our firm conviction that con-
tinuation IN power of the present prohigate and
corrupt party must, sooner or later, bring the
country to the verge of bankruptcy, and ruin
and desnlation upon thousands, and wi ssa
Whereas, We believe that the sound conserva-
tive sentiment in the Union is strong enough, ii
concentrated, to avoid so dire calamity, and to
elect to the chief msgistrscy man who will adj
minister the government to promote the interests
of the nation, and not Of party. Therefore,
be it s.-1 sra 81!
Resolued, That we most heartily approve OF
the time, place and object of the Convention OF
the Opposition of Virginia, proposed to be held
in the city of Richmond, on the 18th day OF De-
cember next.
I3eso1ued, That three delegates be appointed
from each magisterial district to represent us in
said Convention.
Rssolued, That while this meeting is prepared
to give their cordial support to any sound ma
tional patriot, who may be nominated by the
National Convention Of the Opposition party,
they trust it may be the pleasure of that Con-
yention to place before the people of the United
States, as the nominee for the office OF President
thereof, the Hon. Alex II. 81. Stuart, whose
great talents, experience as statesman, lntegri-
ty as man, and sound conservative sentiments,
commend him to the support of all lovers of the
Union and the Constitution.
Resolued, That while we thus express our in
dvidual preference for one whom wedeem wor-
thy of the nomination by the National Conven-
ton, we deprecste, most earnestly, all agitation,
in the State Convention, of the claims OF Mr..
Stuart, or any other distinguished Virginian, for
the nomination, as calculated to create dissen-
sions in the ranks of the Opposition party in this
State, and to impair the moral power and intu-
ence of the party, by converting great National
movement for the redemption of the country
from corruption and misrule, into petty squad
bic for the advancement and promotion of men.
On motion, the following delegates were sp-
pointed to attend said Convention b. Is. Camp
bell, Col. Peter II. Kinkead, DR.. H. M. Patterson
David Snyder, David l.. Mauze, Col. Geo. W
Hull, Capt. Jas. M. Terry, james Il. Ryder, VIM

pointed alternates.
