Fellow-citizens, theiftst thing we have

Letus kill it on the 25d of this month.

We have to go to work now. We must
appeal to tue people upneal to their put
riOtism; and let us defeat the nrdinlnce OF
secession in Northwestern Virginia ut
least. My Rdvices from the valley are,
that where, some weeks since, Union
man dare not hold up his head, lie has
come out now, and is sinking his FIST at
his adversary. They are getting bold and

And now, fellow citizens, good-bye till
