One Of The leading arguments Of the coop

have suffered very little by the personal liberty

WAsHTEGToE, January 2i.-Ten OF the Vir-
ginia COngressmen have sent an address to tbs
people Of that State, giving a review Of The
proceedings and probable action Of Congress,
in which they say that it is vain to hope FOR
any measures of coDeiliation or adjustment
from Congress which the people could accept.
Tney are also satisfied that the Republican
party designs BY civil war alone to coerce the
Southern States, under the pretext OF enforc-
ing the laws, unless it shall become speedily
apparent that the seeding States are so
numerous, determined, and united as to make
such an attempt hopeless. They conclude by
expressing their sslemn conviction that prompt
and decided action by the people OF Virginia
in convention assembled, will afford the surest
means, under the providence OF God, Of avert
ing impending civil war, and Of preserving the
hope Of reeonstructing a Union already dis
solved.

It is well known 70 the readers Of the I1ds

cry patriot in the laad. It was our proud
boast, as We then thought. that We had only
one country bound together by every interest

Of ourselves as northern or southern men, bul
as Americans. Little did we think that the
North would proclaim hostility to the South
and refuse a recognition Of her righta, In op-
position 70 TIE Constitution Of our country.
To sur sincere regret the fact stares Us boldly
in the face that such Is The case. The North
openly avows eternal hatred to slavery, and
declare their unceasing hos ility TO Il. The
South has made all overturss for an amicabie
adjustment Of the slavery question. The
North persists. The South demands her
rights under the Constitution. The North re-

North says there is no peace 80 long as ''the

then must the South protect her right? We

NATURAL GRAPE TRELL1s.-Therc

NATURAL CRAZE TRELLIs'--Therc is
nothing better and nothing half as cheap,
in wooded country, for a grape trellis as
a small tree. Cedar is best, both on ac-
count of durability and the natural form,
but small chestnut oak, grown in open
grounds, has pretty good form, and will
last several years. The pyramidical form
of the cedar will give plot of ground set
with vines, trained each upon its cedar
standard, a most unique and beautiful ap-
pearance. The tree is cut close to the
ground, or dug up with portion of the
roots. and divestcd of all the small branch
es, and the large ones cut to a suitable
length, and set to where the vine can be
trained upon it instead of single stake
When fully covered with vines, and bran
cbes rcclothed with the foliage, these stakes
look like green trees, and are very orna.
mental in gardens, yards or lawns.

To CLEAN SILKS. No silks look well
after washing, however carefully it be done
and this method should therefore never be
resorted to but from absolute necessity.
1t is recommended to sponge faded silks
with warm water and soap, then to rub
them with dry cloth on fiat board, af
ter which to iron them on the inside with
a smoothing iron. Sponging with spirits
will also improve old black silks. The
ironing may be done on the right side,
with thin paper spread over them TO pre-.
vent glazing.
