DisuniOn.

We concur with the "Baltanaore american in
the belief that whatever else theaecession of the
Breckenridge party may mean, it is clear e.
nough that it means disunion under certain con-
tingencies. Mr.. Breckenridge is the candidate
of party as openly sectional as the Republicans
The contest is not quadrangular.-
1t is Bell and the Union on one side, against two
separate disunon candidates. Breckenridge and
Lincoln, though agreeing about nothing else, a.
gree in their contempt of the compromises of the
Constitution and in their hatred of the Union
We are far from believing that the election of
any one of the demagogues who have dared to
trife with our heritage, will have the effect to
wrest that heritage from US. The Union is the
property of the people, and cannot be destroyed
by the pigmies who fancy themselves giants
But whatever damage may be done by the g.
lection of Mr.. Lincoln, the responsibility is clear
ly with the Democracy. They Lave two totally
unavailable candidates-and the planest die
tates OF reason should compel them to drop both
and unite upon Bell and Everett.

Now and Then-Great Advance.

The editor of the charlottesville Review"
has been favored with some extracts from the
Commissioners book of the year 1901 for Able.
marie county, from which he learns that the av-
erage value of land in Albemarle county at that
time was somewhere between 30 cents and ST.
30 per acre, and that there were but II wheel
carriages OF all sorts in the county, large pro
portion of which had but two wheels. At that
time tobacco was rolled to Richmond in hogs
heads now it is carried on Railroad Cars
What contrast A few hours will now accom-
plish what months could not do in 1901. The
contrast in production, we have no doubt, is as
great as that in transportation. The ssReview"
says:
"Little facts like these tell very important
stories. They are like a chink in the wall. to
bring up the whole past. They satisfy us that
our forefathers were much poorer, and lived in
less ease than we do. The furniture of their hou-
ses was no better than their out door convenien-
ces. They drank out of gourds, and sat on pine
chairs. They had no carpets. We doubt if
more than half-a-dozen families had three
pronged fork. Their beds were insufferable. -
Their houses were log cabins, or built of wood
en- boarding. about half the size of our present
ones. calico dress cost about ten times what
1t does now. A broad-clo coat was expected
to last lifetime. We, ourselves, remember the
hrst mahogany chairs that were brought to
Charlottesville. They cost So apiece, and excl
ted profound wonder Now, there are mahog-
any chairs and mahogany lounges in one half
the houses in the place. You will hear piano
from nearly every parlor. Carriages are so
common that no one observes them. All of our
farmes have carriage of some sort-many eff
them very handsome ones''
