Greeley i'm a Coed Humor.


The New York Tribune has q Christmas ar
tic'e congratulating the country upon the
peaceful manner In which the heroes of the
war ION either side) have betaken themselves
TO the ordinary pursuits Of life. The illusions
to the Southern soldiers speak well for Mr..
Greeley's liberality of feeling. Here are some
of them:

The demise of the King of Belgium has given
rise 10 some interesting speculations as to its
political consequence. The Paris correspond
ent of the London Herald says that public
opinion in Belgium is sgreatly excited at articles
that have appeared in certain French semi
official prints, which, after dwelling on some
riotOus scenes at the Students Congress at
Liege, and at Il couple of stormy si:tings in the
Chamber of Representatives, limited that it
might be necessary to "save society" in Bel
GUM. One of the Belgium newspapers pub
fishes three columns to show that g society -
and liberty in Belgium are perfectly able to
save themselves. There are many people, both
in England and France, who believe that Eng
land would not do any thing but protest were
the Emperor to 90 save society" in Belgium by
annexing that country, and that the assent of
Count VoS BIshARK, of Prussia, to such plan
has been secured beforehand. We do not at
tach smuch Importance to these conjectufes!
The Paris letter writer's are eminently sensa-
tional personages, and know more of the couh-
ellis Of princes than the members Of cabinets.

Sculpture.

We had the pleasure of seeing at the studio
of Mr.. Valentine, a bust of General StOnewall
Jackson, now nearly completed, in plaster. 1t
is masterly work. The likeness is striking,
and the whole face bears the impress of great
strength i'll repose. 1t is more like Jackson
than the photograph of him SO familiar to
every one. 1t is life-size bust.
Mr.. Valentine has a bust of General J +.
b. Stuart partly done, in clay. It promises
TO be fine work. He intends to visit Lexing
ton shortly. for the purpose of making bust
of General r. T.. Lee. If this should prove
worthy of what he has already done, it will
be an artistic work

The Railroad Projected by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company in the Valley Of Nir-

Ohio Railroad Company in the Valley Of Nir-
ginia.
The Lynchburg Viryiaian gives statistics to
prove that the distance from the point Of in
tersection on the Virginia and Tennessee rail
road to the city of Baltimore is greater by the
proposed route than by the roads already in
operation ria Lynchburg, Gordonsville, Alex
andria, &c, and argues hence that the pro-
jected scheme will never be carried out.
The Staunton Spectator is evidently pleased
with Mr.. GARRErTs proposition. 1t calls on
the people to reflect upon the folly which, years
ago. prevented the Baltimore Company from
constructing this road, and advises our lagis-
lators to countenance the opening of railroads
and canals in every part of the State-the con-
structors, Of course, to pay the expenses.

A COMPLICATED CAsE.-Judge McEntee, in
the Provost Court, was engaged nearly the
whole of yesterday in the Investigation of a
charge against seven negroes Of stealing two
horses from Mr.. James Lyons on the 7th of
December. The case was not disposed of, but
will be resumed to-day. 1t was necessary to
infiict an amount of corporeal punishment
upon one of the number, George Tripp, peni-
tentiary convict, to extort the truth from him.
Another of the party, named Hiram Harris,
came to Judge McEntee's Office on Tuesday
and gave himself up, voluntarily stating that
he received the horses from Tripp, took them
to Petersburg and offered them for sale. The
case is one which presents many difficulties,
yet it is believed that the whole seven were in
some way connected with the theft.

Parties.
.tou,emporary, ohjecting to q recent re-
.,.,l IN this paper that the Whig party Of the
,xx,n,y five years preceding the war allowed
,,se,f to be- merged in the Republican party,
.,a thus led the way to the late war, con.
,.rds. in reply, that the Whig party was never
r.xn,nsible. In any way or shape, for any war
that was ever fought in this country. except,
,,,ssibly. the war Of the revolution" Then,
:, ;s altogether innocent for. since the Whig
u,r,v. of which we speak, had no existence
nror to 1889, 1t could have had no hand. by
feasibility, in tha revolution of 1876 But it
is fac, that ~ Whig party Of u score or
more wears existence was, at the North, main
~ swallowed up in Republicanism in 1856 and
"a and disappeared as such from the face Of
Tho earth. 1t was actually dead-could make
no war-and was not charged with it; yet its
death put all power in the hands of the party
which brought upon the country the issues
which terminated in war. The writer of this
had been Wing, and felt the keen pang Of
mortifcation at beholding that powerful or
gsnization, in which he had put so much faith,
melt away, like snow before the sun, and pass
into the creeks and the rivers and the subter
rauean streams. II went down in the great
flood, like big ship, leaving nothing visible
but the top, Of its tall masts. Yes, and WASH
,yGroN Hunt, with a. few personal friends,
climbed mp there and cried out to the storm
for help but they were considered crazy and
were not needed. The voice of this I" last
man. finally died away, and he, of course,
was to be considered politically dead.
Supposing that had the Whig party remain
ed firm, the war might have been, at least,
postponed, the regret at its fate was all the
more poignant. To enter more particularly
into the discussion may be y matter of COM
placency with our contemporary but, for the
nresent. we rest satisfied with it's edifying re-
ference to the long past period of 70.
