THE CRISIS.

ssBe strong and of good courage; fear not,
nor be afraid of them for the Lord thy God, he
it is that doth go with thee, he will not fail thee
nor forsake thee.''
These words, says the Petersburg
Express, which Moses spoke to the
Israeiites on tie banks of the Jordan,
may well be commended to the consid-
Grafton of the people of the Confederacy
on the eve ola trial which will be a
severer one to them than any they have
yet been called to withstand. The en-.
envy are making the most strenuous exer-
lions and preparations to hurl upon
them in the spring an army surprising
in magnitude the largest he has yet
been able to bring into the field. He
is about to concentrate all his strength
and malignity in one grand, final blow,
which, if it is frustrated, will paralyze
and prostate him. We should rather
be encouraged than alarmed by this de
n.onstration, Indicating as it unmistaka-
bly, does, his WEAKNESS of the strife and
his anxiety to hasten it to an end. We
should be pleased to see such nantes
tation on his side, for it points to peace.

For the News
Wales, December the last, 1868.


Mr.. EDITOR: notice in your last issue
a statement to the effect that there is petit
ton in circulation for law to fence cattle,
which you seem 10 encourage to some ex-
tent, forgetting that great many people
have cattle who have no timber to fence
them with, nor have they the land upon
which to build the fence. A great many
people own few head of cattle who do not
own any land. Now it looks hard indeed
to deprive them of home among US sim
ply because they have no place of their own
to build fences upon.
A little explanation on your notice of this
petition might have been in good place, for
we have fence law as well as stray law.
The fence law gives us the privilege of fenc-
ing and and posting any stock that may be
found in our Enclosure at any time of the
year, while the stray law makes it our duty
to post any stock that may be found on our
premises from the first day of December to
the first day of April. The proposed law
will conflict somewhat with the stray law,
and how will you fix penalty. Will it be
a criminal offense to neglect fencing your
stock until nine or ten o'clock at night? If
the people will not enforce the laws we al
ready have, can they be expected to enforce
such law as you speak of? Freighters
will have to haul their fencing along with
them, but this would not be any great trou-
bic after getting used to it. II LOOKS like it
is intended that fences, cor things" may
lie lawful at night and unlawful in the day
time; or that a man may alternately be
sinner at night and very good man indeed
all day long. Mr.. Maxon was on the wrong
side of this fence few years ago. Now if
the Legislature will pass an act authorizing
the county commissioners to award pre-
MUM of $25 for the highest number of
scalps Of wolves killed by one man in the
county, SIS for the next highest, and SIS
for the next, and speak we'll of those killing
smaller numbers. have no objection, but
l am afraid Of this night fence. You recol-
lect how it served Mr.. Maxon an others.
1t would be a good thing also to offer the
above premiums for rabbit scalps; yes, and

found within the owners lawful Enclosure.
The Legislature might also, in order to
fill out its utmost limit of time, amuse itself
by passing an act compelling the owners of
these mud -puddles, which they are wont to
! call towns, to pave their lanes, or at leastIto
make good gravel walks.
But last, and not least, the Legislature
should either impeach Prof. Goodnow or
amend Wilson's Readers so that the article
in McGufey's Fifth Reader, headed "The
Duty of the American Orator." shall be
printed on the back, in order that every
body, whether they have time to read the
back through or not, can see so much of it,,
thereby becoming at once a patriot and an
orthodox divine. However, all patriots are
not good divines, while all good divines
may be patriots, Notwithstanding Wilson
makes many beautiful references to the stars
and stripes, the eagle, etc, calculated to
inspire patriotism in the highest degree.
