Presidential campaign. Party lines are becoming de-
fined with considerable dis!inctness and party rancor
bids fair TO reach the hghes. point of bitterness and

styD should not override every consideration of law

We were in error in stating that Mr.. Jackson, the
Recorder Of The Virginia Forces for that is the title
Of the Office to which he has been apponted-wss re-
ative Of S.onewall Jackson. He comes from the same
portion Of the S:ate but is not related to the Great
Captain.
Our special thanks are due 10 tn, Enquirer for the
valuable assistance rendered ia urging the prompt
execution of "The Record of Virginia" and the "Batte
Ro' Of Lees army. We must also thank the Dispatch
for IFS timely co operation. The Dispatch thinks that
"a plain, substantial volume, copy Of which should
DO placed in the hands of every SELLER aud .oficeis
family to bear down their glorious names posterty
will be sufficient Wei We should BIO content with
that; bu. the simple Muster-Rol would make many

surate in style and con ents, to the part played by the
Commonwealth in this great Struggle.

We repeat our request that the Press and people OF
Virginia will sustain Governor Saith in the worthy
work which he has undertaken. To this end free and
prompt sxoression of opinion is desirable.
