Some men make fortunes by dint
ofenergetic perseverance and economy,
some become wealthy by inheritance,
while others marry rich. The latter
is decidedly preferable to some, when
the lady is amiable, pretty and intel

whose success, or want of success, in
this line we chronicle.
During the course Of the war citi-
zen Ct Delaware, saw and admired a
damsel, who had left the South, alien

of her "Union" sentiments, as she
stated, said father being a wealthy res
ident Of Staunton. He sympathized
with her III her exile for opinions sake,
and, with tie attraction of money

The war having ceased, d few days
since he arrived in Staunton and re
paired to the parental domicil, to make
himself known as the som III law and
to get share of the fathers wealth,
{his right in hand.
Reader we leave you to imagine his
chagrin, when he was informed that
instead of being the son-in-law, his
wife was Of negro extraction and had on
iy been the former servant of the gentle
man, and that his experiment in the
marrying line had resulted in practical
miscegenation instead Of a fortune
He left these parts Suddenly, a sadder
but doubtless a wiser man.

here ", perhaps, no more striking
example on record of heroic defence,
swrn endurance and chivalric bravery,
;han has been exhibited by the people
of the South in the attempt to main
tain separate independence. They
made this attempt with many sacrifices
10 themselves, and impelled, net by a
reckless desire to break up the Union,
bat by a conscientious conviction OF
the Justice of establishing a Govern
mcnt which should have. their xalnani-
nous consent, they battled, long, brave
" and honorably. The al tempt failed
and with its failure they are compelled
to endure sacrifices tcnfold greater than
during the contest. They have no
currency, and the MEATS Of obtaining
Il circulating medium crippled-are
called upon 70 sacrifice their property,
and niany arti denied the exercise of
the elective franchise and the privilege
of holding Office What has been thei:
course under all these sacrifices? Have
they, with insane recklcssness, betaken
themselves to the mountains to carry
on a perpetual guerrilla warfare with
those who have overpowered them !?
On the contrary they openly ack''owl-
edge the failure of their cause and
agree to remain in the Union as peace
able, law-abi,ling citizens They have
taken the oath to support the General
Government in good faith and will
live up to it in letter and in spirit
AS enemies they have been honorable,
can they be less so as friends ?
Yet, with all this staring them in
the face, there are few run mad IA
natics in the North, who would still
further Cypress this people-w h 0
would make them the vassals Of the
victorious section. Do these rabid
inen hope to see this country advance
rapidly to its climax of national pros
perity? Do they expect to accomplish
this by dividing the house against it.
self? Theirs is a mistaken policy
In the Union each section has its part
to play and the success of the whole
depends upon the prosperity and adj.
vancement of each. The failure Of
one but clogs the progress of the other.
Let the past be forgotten-let mag
unanimous spirit of concession prevail
let the North and South be equal in
rights, and the tenacity Of the Union
will become many-fold stronger and
the chances for continued national
prosperity be UNNECESSARILY greater
than by any other means.

PnEs1DESr JOHNSON ON CONFEDERATE PA
RoLEs.-It has been mootcd question
whether those of tie Confederate who sur
rendered ard were admitted to parole are
subject to arrest for their pant in the rebel
lion so long as they Obey the laws and keep
their pledged word This point is cleared
up by the course of President johnson in
the case Of Governor Brown, of Georgia. =
The latter functionary was arrested and
brought to Washington. When he arrived
there he called the attention Of the Presi-
dent to the fact that he had surrendered as
commander OF the Georgia troop and mill
tia upon the terms granted to Lee by Gener-
al Grant, that neither he nor they were to
be molested by the United States SO long as
they observed their paroles, and he was inn
mediately released. This may be taken as
President Johnson's view of that yexcd
question.
