DIED, in this village, on the 9th Of December,
1864, of GIembrands Group, EuGENE MAXWELL,
infant son of Joseph B. and NJ. j. McGec, aged
year, two months and u days.
The flower is often bighed and destroyed ere
the time for unfolding its beauty and perfection
The death of an innocent child only transplants its
purity from this world of sorrow and suffering to
the heavenly garden above, where the soul ex-
pands and grows perfect unto holiness. Then
weep not, fond parents EUGENE, your beloved
and trst-born, is gone before, to await reunion in
Paradise. "The Lord gave and the Lord taketh
away

A gentleman who was with tho army
on Sunday, at Petersburg, when Messrs.
Stephens, Hunter and oampbell passed
through our lines, on their way to Wash
ington, informs the Sentinel that thcshout-
ing along both lines was prolonged and
enthusiastic. ItwouId, indeed, be delight
full if there were any room to hope that
the Washington authorities are prepared
for such terms ofpeace as would allow
the soldiers to odisperse. Once before the
acclamations. oftho two armies We're uni
ten. When they lay confronted at Fred
ericlsburg, q fine military band played
in succession Yankee Doodle, Dixie, and
other national airs. These were appro-
priately responded to by the two armies
alternately. But when the band struck
up Homo, Sweet Home, the opposing
camps forgot their hostility and united in
a voieiferols tribute to the common sen
timent.

R1oHMoND, Jan. 30.-In the House to-
day, Mr.. DeJarnette, of Virginia, submit
ted the following,.which he supported in
an able and elaborate speech:s
Whereas all nations have ever witness
ed with elarrn tic establishment Of any
formidable power in this vicinity; and
whcreas the people of the Confederate
States as we'll as the people oftkes United
States, have. ever cherished theegesolve
that any further acquisition of territory
in North America by any foreign power
would be inconsistent with, their prosper
ity and Development; and whereas the
invasion of Mexico byFrance has resulted
as illegal in establishing a. government
founded inconsistent with governments;
nevertheless, we believe ulterior designs
are entered against California and other
Pacific States, which we do mot regard as
parties to the war now waged against us,
as they hxwe neither furnished men nor
money for It's prosecution; therefore, the
Congress Of the Confederate States do
resolve, That the time may not be distant
when we will be prepared, on the basis
of the independence of the Confederate
States, with those most interested i'll the
reproduction OF the principle OF the Mon
roc Doctrine, to the exclusion.of all for
cign powers on the continent Of North
America.

The Ground of Union.

The National Iatelligencer, in noticing some,
of the exclusive views of certain politicians who
seem disposed to make an issue with President
johnson in regard to his policy Of Restoration
Of the Revolving States, sets them down justly
as DisunionistS. 1t says truly ,N'' ~ ~
'"The President stands simply on the ground
ofUnion. Hedemands the forfeiture Of slavery,
absolutely and by legislation and he asserts,
by his every act the decree that there is but one
sovereign nationality. a H.a 9ai . 5ztsa
Does any member of Congress objectto this
position of the President2 Then if the South,
following the lead of Mississippi and Alabama,
shall adopt constitutional amendment abol-
ishing slavery, in such event the Southw will be
clearly Union party--a noble, rePentant true
Union party; and while this will then be true
of the South, is it not manifest las we have Oh
ten urgedl that all who shall oppose her read
mission, under such circumstances, will be MEM
bers of DIsUNIoN party No sophistry can
refute this position, no test laws can overcome
it, no doubtful legislation, looking to perpetual
dismiOn, as opposed to this simple truth, can
stand before the body of American voters. 1t
is very evident, therefore, that no wise or hope
full or honest issue can be made in regard to his
policy with the President of the United States.
"Much stress has been laid upon the impor-
tance of time with regard to reconstruction.
But reconstruction is word that the
Constitution of the United States does not COM
prehend. RESTORATION began with peace, and
it is to-day practical fact that brings with it
all the rights and duties Of the States-consld-

immigration.

A Society has been organized at Lynchburg
by portion of the farmers of Central Virginia,
with view to encourage the immigration to
the State of industrious farmers and lahorers.
The following resolutions have been adopted:
Rssolred, Ist. We are gratifed to learn that
large numbers of Scotch and English farmers
and laborers may beinduaed to immigrate TO this
State and that their character for thrift and
intelligence, and their identity of religion
and language, would render them peculiarly
acceptable to us. aL rteL
%. Tha. an agent will be sent to England
and Scotland. as soon as funds can be procured
for that purpose, and farmers viii be supplied
with laborers OF tenants by the society, in pro-
portion 10 the amount contributed. Farmers
and others in any part Of this State, who may
feel an interest in this subject, are requested 70
correspond with us through the secretary.
From this movement the Freedmen may
learn this lesson, that they must set themselves
earnestly to work, or starve. If they fail to
avail themselves of the present openings for la
Dor and an honest livelihood, they soon will
find themselves supplanted by hardy and
thrifty race Of white people.
We look forward to the day as not far distant
when most of the large farms in Virginia, will
be cut up into tracts of 200 to 500 acres, and
be made doubly productive under the culture
Of industrious and skilful farmers.
