ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and sorrow
stricken as the Mormon leaders appeared
to be, over the assassination Of the Ma
ton s redeemer, Abraham Lincoln, coupled
with their outward manifestations of grief,
and their appropriate decorations of
mourning. yet, the sentiments of the
Seer" Lion and villain, Brigham Young.
together with his agencies, at the present
day, fully testify that assassination in all
its crime and iniquity is fully endorsed BY
the Mormon Church. Murder in cold
blood, and theft, is not only proclaimed
from the Tabernacle and Ward Meeting
Houses, but every diabolical act at which
human nature sickens and revolts, is sus-
tanned, and this, too, on the Sabbath day.
How long is this to be countenanced and
submitted to by our Government and the
community at large. The proclamations
from time to time put forth by these
monsters IN human shape, Brigham Young,
Bishop Woolley and hosts of other Nor
mon demogogues, should meet with the
Just indignation Of every right minded and
christian man. Conscience these wretches
have not. hearts they are void Of, and in
manly principles they are destitute. Sin,
vice and crime have been, and are, their
sole attainments.-SaEt Lake Tedetts.

x r,-uinin City Omeer,.

The following is the Union's account Of
the installation Of the new Virginia city
officials
On motion of Alderman Cornell, the oath
Of office. and certificates Of the Mayor and
Aldermen elect were read, received, and
placed on file.
On motion of Mr.. Cornell the Board now
adjourned "sine die"
After short intermission, the Board Of
Aldermen elect, consisting Of Smith, Eddy,
Piper and Young, took the seats just vacated
by the old Board, and were called to order by
the Mayor elect, George F. Jones.
Mayor Jones, in a neat speech, addressed
the Board, to the effect that in taking the
position as Mayor of this city, he should de-
waite from the regular beaten track usual on
so doing. He had made no preparations, and
il was difficult task to state what course he
should adopt, as circumstances Of different
kinds will necessarily transpire to influence
and regulate future action. One course he
certainly should pursue, which was, that as
long as he should preside as Mayor Of this
city, he should always endeavor to keep all
expenditures strictly within the bounds of the
income, and be cautious in making appro-
priations. All the Aldermanic labors would
now fail on the shoulders of FIVE men instead
Of nine, as formerly, aud consequently be
more burdensome; and in order to go smooth
" along, the course he had marked out ought
to be followed by all as well as himself. The
only promise he should make to the citizens,
as Mayor of the city, was that he would fulfil
his oath to the very letter. His remarks were
received with great applause by the numerous
spectators.
II was considered best for the Board not to
take up any new business this evening, but
that the bonds OF officers should be presented.
The bond of Geo. w. Birdsall, as Chief Of
Police, in the sum of $1,000, with J. P. Smith
and Marco Medin as sureties, was read and
approved.
The bond of ]. d. Meagher, as City Re
corder, in the sum of $1,000, with D. Dris-
coll and Marco Medin as suretieS, was &C
cepted and placed on file.
L. Feusier, as City Treasurer, had not pre-
pared his bond, and asked the Board to fix
the rate Of security required.
On motion, the security required in his
case was $4,000.
On motion, the bond Of the City Assessor
was fixed at $1,000, and the Board adjourned
till this evening at "a o'clock.

Clerk Of Circuit Court.

Mr.. Joseph N. Ryan who was in 1864
elected Clerk of our Circuit Court and
at the election recently held was re-
elected without opposition, has been du-
ly qualified before Judge Thompson,
and hes entered upon the duties OF his
Office.
This announcement will be most graf
flying to the people of Augusta County,
upon whose confidence and good will
Mr.. Ryan has very strong hold, and
who in consequence of rumors affecting
the eligibility of Mr.. Ryan, felt some
uneasiness at the prospect Of his losing
his office. 1t turns out, however, upon
investigation, that while our young
friend was on two occasions specially
recommended for promotion in corsid-
Grafton of distinguished .valor and skill
exhibited on more than a dozen hard
fought fields, he was never in fact, ap-
pointed an officer, and thus escaped the
disqnalifying provision Of the Alexan-
dria Constitution.
We doubt not that Mr.. Ryan will
show his appreciation OF the public con-
fidence thus repeatedly extended to him
by making us an efficient and valuable
public officer.

SENSIBLE.

The New 7 ork World has the credit
of giving expression to the following
sensi bic remarks:
"Would the prospects of America be bright
er were all the Southern men who for four
years have contended IN arms against us, to
abstain savagely and suddenly from public
affairs ? II these men came up before us alb
ject1y, Bringing with cap in hand, casting
dust upon their heads and crying aloud to US
to have mercy upon them as miserable sim
ners, we might indeed despair of the repub-
lie. There would be small hope of perma-
ncnt and noble restoration Of the Union if
the simple fact of defeat could thus take the
manhood out Of the most intelligent classes
of one great section of the American people.
But this the fact of defeat has failed to do.
It has no more made the Southern people SER
vile than it has made them sulhy. They do
not pretend to admit that they were entirely
in the wrong in their resistance to the arms
of the Union; they assert, on the contrary,
their honest belief in the rightfulness of their
appeal to the ordeal from which we are now
emerging; but they confess the complete
and irrevocable defeat of their appeal to that
ordeal; and they ask that they shall be be-
lieved and trusted when they make this con-
fession"

President Johnson's Views in 1861.

In 1861, President johnson, in the
United States Senate, offered the fol-
lowing resolution:
'That the present deplorab!e civil war has
been forced upon the country by the disun-
ionists of the Southern States, now in arms
against the constitutional government, and
in arms around the capital; that in this ma
tional emergency, Congress, banishiDg all
feelings of mere passion Or resentment, will
rccollect only its duty to the whole country !;
that this war is not waged on their part in
any spirit of oppression, or for any purpose
of conquest or subjugation, or purpose Of
overthrowing Or interfering with the rights
or established institutions of those States,
but to defend and maintain the supremacy OF
the Constitution, and to preserve the Union
with all the dignity, equality, and rights Of
the several States unimpared; and that as
soon as these objects are accomplished the
war ought to cease"

PEACE! PEACE!

The stirring words of Patrick Henry,
are still ranging in the ears ofthe Amer
lean people. He said: "Gentle1nen
may cry, Peace! Peace!l but there is
no peace" The New York Metropola-
tan Record says:
"Why what is peace? We were in the
habit of thinking, that peace meant the SUI
premacy of law and order, the reign of JUS
tics, the ascendancy Of right over might ;
that it meant concord between the sections
and harmony among the people; that it
meant the rigid demarcation of power, the
enforcement of duties, and the vindication OF
rights. If peace does not mean this, it is Of
no value. The world is too old to earn a
new definition of peace from US, and if things
are on a war footing, if plumber and license,
and lawlessness and outrage go unwhipt Of
justice we may proclaim peace in our cit
les and towns, on our house-tops and our
mountain-tops, we may disband our armies,
we may appoint governors, We may authorize
elections, but the world will insist that there
cannot be- peace where all the conditions Of
war exist"

DECLARATIONS AND OATHs.

The citizens of Richmond held great
meeting to declare their loyalty to the
United States, and county meetings in
various parts of the State have been
held for the same purpose. GU bono?
What is the use The reason assigned
is, that they wish to convince the peo-
pie of the North who entertain suspi-
cions of the sincerity of their loyalty.
They have taken the following solemn
oath:
ri Trusty Trueheart, OF Patriot County,
do solemnly swear, in the presence of AL
mighty God, that will hencoforth faithfully
support, protect and defend the Constitution
of the United States, and the Union of the
States thcreunaer, and that will in like
manner, abide by and faithfully support all
laws and proclamations which have been
made during the existing rebellion with ref
erence to the emancipation of slaves, so help
me God"
It would seem not little remark a.
Bile if the people of the North wonld be
convinced by asimple declaration, when
they would not be by solena'szy saooraa
asseueration. Meetings Of the kiad re.
ferred to seem so us to be humiliatory,
as they imply an acknowledg cement, on
the part of those participating in them,
that they should give other evidence OF
their loyalty than that furnished by
their solemn oaths. A witness who
seems very anxious to convince others
that his testimony under oath was true,
is not apt to be credited, for his cou-
duct implies that he might have sworn
falsely. The people of the South have
lost nearly all save honor. Then honor
and manhood they should, by all means,
preserve. They have honestly and in
good faith taken the oaths prescribed,
and should make no useless professions,
but let their actions attest their sinceri-
ty. To doubt the sincerity of those
who have taken the oaths prescribed, is
to offer them gross insult-such as nc
gentleman would fail to resent.

Conduct Of Virginians.

So long as there was any hope of q
successful issue, says the Richmond
Wing, the people Of Virginia and the
South continued their resistance to the
Federal armies, and fought with a bra
very and resolution worthy of men
deeply in earnest, and which should
command for them the respect and adj
miration even of their most malignant
enemies. But when the struggle vas
brought to close by the surrender of
the Confederate armies, they promptly
and unanimously resumed their respec-
tive business avocations, with sincere
determination to accept and abide by
the legitimate results Of the war, and
with no earthly thought of offering FIR
Their resistance, in any shape or form, to
the constituted authorities of the land.
That they did not once fall to hugging
and kissing those with whom they had
been SO long en- gagged in deadly COM
bat, and playing the part generally of
toadies and boot-licks, is to be ascribed
to the fact tHLat, though overwhelmed by
superior power, they were still men and
gentlemen, high-minded, honorable
and sensitive, capable of enduring any
amount of hardship, suffering and pri-
vation in behalf Of their cause, but
wholly incapable of doing or saying
anything which would tend to diminish
their own selfrespect and disgrace
them in the eyes Of the world. l. is
not always those who talk loudest and
biggest in regard to their loyalty and
patriotism who can be most depended
on. And consequently the people of
this State, conscious ofthe rectitude Of
their intentions, do not consider it eth
er appropriate or necessary to reiterate
every hour in the day that they mean
to conform to the oaths they have taken
and the obligations they have assumed
as citizens of the United States. They
very properly and poiltedly argue that,
if the people of the North refuse to be-
lieve them on oath, they will hardly be-
lieve them on their mere word and
heEce they are naturally reluctant to
indulge in repeated and protuse profess
ions OF patriotism and loyalty.

Large Revenue Receipts.

The receipts of internal revenue on
Monday week reached the enormous
sum of four millions two hundred thou
sand dollars, exceeding by seventeen
hundred and sixty thousand dollars the
aggregate of any previous day. This
looks we'll for the United States Treasu-
ry. The statement just put forth by the
Secretary of the Treasury Of the public
debt shows that during the month OF
August it had not been materially In
creased, Notwithstanding the fact that
during that month immense sums were
paid to troops being mustered out OF
service and other large liabilities of the
Government were being liquidated.

RELIGIOUS MEETINGS IN HARRISON.
BURG,

We learn from the Rockingham Regis
ter that series of religious meetings have
been held in Harrisonburg since Sat
urday week among the members of the
two Methodist Churches.
This meeting was consequent upon the
union Of the two churches, which was
consummated some three or four weeks
since. The meetings have been held
under the immediate superintendent
OF the Rev. E. R. Veitch, P. E., who
was ably assisted by the Rev. DR.. Dog
gett, of Richmond, Rev. SamuelS. Roz-
eel, of Loudonn, Revs. Zimmerman
and Weller, of the Baltimore Confe-
rarce, and the Revs. Clark and Bonde,
the Pastors in charge Of the two church
es in Harrisonburg.
The union Of tie ministry and mem
bership of these lately so widely sepa-
rated churches of the christian church,
has been made in the true spirit of
the Gospel, and has given much cause
tor rejoicing among all classes of our
community.

ssIDIOTS OR KNAvES."

President johnson must believe that
the number of persons in the North
who are either idiots or knaves to be
very great. In speech delivered by
him in the United States Senate in
1859, he said: =,
"The man who deliberately and boldly
asserts that Thomas Jefferson, when ne penn
ed the sentiment that all men were created
equal, had the negro in bis mind, IS either
an idiot or knaye."
