posed in lieu of Union, the only sure means of Sc

REJOICING OVER THE DESTRUCTION OF THE UNION
1t exhibits, as the Lynchburg Vfrginidn observes,
little reflection and very bad taste for the Secession
lists to make jubilee of dissolution, and hurry out
of the Union with dancing and making merry
They had better go as Adam and Eve did from the
garden of Eden when, with their heads bowed in
sorrow and hearts wrung with anguish,
with melancholy step and slow,
Through Eden they took their solitary way
With the Petersburg Express we say, that if we
were one of the most ardent and enthusiastic adyo
Gates and supporters of the doctrine of separate and
immediate secession, we could but contemplate the
work of disintegraton whilst it was going on, with
mournful sensations. The recollectons ofthe nober
years of this Republic when it was the pride and
boast of civilization-the idol of Its people-the
wonder and admiration of the world-the palladium
of our liberties careering proudly and grandy on
ward in its glorious mission, and prospecting in all
its ways-these, and thousand other affecting
memories which cluster around the brighter Past
would dim our eyes with tears in beholding it sud
denly struck down in the prime and pride of its life
and lying before us bleeding, gasping, expiring
victim. Why should the people of the seeding
States dance over the grave Of the Union ?-Rich.

are just as true to the South you are if not truer
and they as hostile to black Republican prnci-

Union just now. They will watch and wait and
try to save it and if they should in the end aban
don it, and go about to establish new forms, they
will not call the modern hotspurs, who wear blue
