~A gentleman from the North, but
who is Southerner BY birth and in senti-
ment, writing from Richmond on the 23d
inst, to the Baltimore Republican, says:
"There are great times here, | tell you,
and an intense feeling against the North
As for business, it is impossible to do any
thing. Merchants here talk as if they were
definitely resolved not to buy anything Of
the North unless Of necessity. I had not the
slightest idea, until came here, of the ex-
tent Of this feeling against everything north
of Mason and Dixon's line. Il is useless to
try to effect sales here"
This is the spirit which the Northern Re-
publican and Abolition presses have been
industriously endeavoring toinfuse into the
people Of Virginia by systematic course Of
insult and injury. Can we hope to hold to-
gether in unity with our daily revilers and
those who habitually contemn and speak evil
of us?

Cant. UarDer's Speech.

We were peculiarly struck and interest
ed by the speech of this gallant Wing vet
eran on last Monday The conservative
and Union sentiments of Capt. Kenton Har-
per are well known, and those sentiments
he did not fail to express on Monday but
he acknowledged that the occurrences Of
the last month or two had for the first time
shaken his confidence in the Union of these
States, and for the first time made him en-
terrain the thought that possible contin-
gency might arise when dissolution might
be expedient.
When such men and patriots as Kenton
Harper express such views, the emergency
must indeed be imminent, and the outrage
which has brought on that emergency must
indeed be gross.

Movements Of Military

About eighty Cadets Of the Military In
stitute, under the command of Maj. Gillian,
reached Staunton, on their way to Charles
town, uDdor orders from Gov. Wise, on
Saturday morning, but too late for the cars,
and consequently were compelled to remain
at this point until evening, when they pro-
cecded on their way in special train
While here, at the request of many citizens,
they went through the battalion drill, to
the admiration Of large crowd who had
assembled to witness the spectacle.
The same evening orders came by tele.
graph to the Vest Augusta Guards, Of
Staunton, and the Mountain Guards, OF
Spring Hill, Capt. Bushong, to proceed i'm
mediately to Charlestown. Capt. Bushong.
who happened to be in town when order,
came. hasted home to notify his company,
and by half past 8 o'clock Sunday morning,
had about fifty Of his men ready to start on
the Central Railroad cars.
The Spring Hill Company deserve great
praise for the promptitude with which they
obeyed the orders Of the Executive, for liv.
ing as they do, in various parts of the coun-
ty, in an area Of, ", suppose not less than
fifteen miles. it is almost incredible how thew
managed to assemble on so short notice.
A largo number of citizens were present
to witness the departure of the troops and
gave them three hearty cheers as the cars
moved of. The members of both compa-
MES seemed in the finest spirits and eager
to embark in active service.
All honor We say to the gallant West
Augustus and the hard listed six footers Of
Spring Hill.

EDWARD BATES, OF MISSOURI. This gen
tleman has lately made speech declaring
himself an out and out Black Republican,
delighted that Missouri is fast becoming
abolitionized. It will be remembered tina,
Mr.. Bates was formerly champion Of A
mericanism, and one of their most promi-
nent, if not the most prominent, candidate
for the Opposition Presidential nomination.
Past experience seems to demonstrate
that Know Nothingism stands relatively to
Black Re publicanism as tadpoles to frogs
the state Immediately before the certain
change.

Pooh Shown the great city Of Bos-

all their blasphemous shouting and spouting
over the new saint and martyr whom they
have manufactured out Of the vilest materi-
ais ever seen in the shape Of human flesh
after shaking the dome Of fremont Temple
with their oratorical thunder in behalf of
the family Of the sainted Brown, were able
to raise only the paltry sum Of $500! The
following paragraph, which we take from a
Boston paper, tells the dismal tale:

Ew A letter written recently by "Old'
Brown to clergyman in Connecticut, con-
tains the following sentence
II am not as yet, in the main, at all dis
appointed. I have been good deal disap-
pointed as it regards myself in not keeping
up to my own plans but I now feel entire
" reconciled to that, even !; for Gods plan
was infinitely better. no doubt, or I should
have kept to my own"
Mr.. Washington. who was one Of Browns
prisoners in the armory, states that Brown
was the most vigilant Of oil the rebels in
watching through loopholes for opportunities
to kill those outside. One Of his own sons
was shot through the body and fell within
four or five feet of him. The young man
groaned in agony, begging that his COM
rades would kill him at once. Thercupon
Old Brown sternly babe him be silent and
die like man. A short time afterwards
his other son was shot down, and with loud
means called upon comrade for revolver
that he might kill himself. Old Brown re-
buked him for his noise, without word OF
a look of sympathy or regret, and turned
again to the business of murder. And all
the while, standing with his two dying
children behind him, and holding his rife
pointed in front, he was drumming at inter-
walls upon the barrel Of his weapon with the
fingers of his left hand, with as much un-
concern as if engaged in some amusement.

Meeting Of Citizens.

Since our last Issue. two primary meet
ings Of Citizens have been held at the Court
house; on Saturday night, of the Citizens Of
the town exclusively; and on Monday, III
which large number Of the people Of the
fthc country took part. By referring to an
other column, our readers will perceive q
synopsis Of the action Of both.
There are two facts which appear on the
face Of these proceedings as published, and
stood out prominently in the manner and
tone Of the meetings, to which we wish to
draw particular attention, because these facts
are clothed with peculiar significance when
the politics, and well known conservatism, Of
Augusta county are remembered. We re-
fer to the endorsation Of the action of Gov.
Wise, from the beginning of the troubles at
Harper's Ferry, to the present time, and
the expressed willingness Of the people Of
Augusta. to support and uphold the Execu-
tive Of Virginia in any policy which he may
think necessary for the protection of Virgin
las soil and Virginia's honor. We say
when the politics and conservatism Of Au-
gusta are remembered, the action Of these
meetings is doubly significant for it shows
that the people Of Virginia are divided by
no party lines in reference to the late out
rage against its sovereignty and that
the conservatives and patriots Of all
all parties unite in denouncing it, and re-
commanding preparation for the prevention
or resenting of like outrapes.

re- Considerable excitement was created
in Episcopal circles, about ten years since.
by the announcement that Rev. John Muir
ray Forbes, D. D., of the Episcopal Church,
had abandoned his former faith, and sub
mitted himself to the Church Of Rome. -
Now, after ten years service under hard
master, he retraces his steps, having got
tired of Popery. Mr.. Forbes has written
a letter to Archbishop Hughes giving bis
reasons for leaving the Roman Catholics
and renouncing all allegiance to the Papal
power.

cidedly our first American Orator Frank

our first Statesman, nor Washington our
first Patriot, than was Washington Irving

he soon made the acquaintance, and through
out his and their lives. enjoyed the friend
ship Of such men as Walter Scott, the poet
Wordsworth, and many others of great if

spring and classic scenes of Italy, Greece.
and old England, he produced many of those,
delightful sketches and essays, which have
made for hin. . reputation co-extensive with
the civilized world, and as enduring as the
English Language itself.

Ozark as the present day is for our coun-

are hung by the State of Virginia, as they
will be, the sods will not be dry over their
new-made graves ere reaction will take
place in the popular heart, and the blood Of
those noble but unfortunate men will con-
stltute the seed Of revolution that will
drive slavery from the American SOIL
