FRANKLIN SQUARE,

Henry C. Garrett, Esq.-My dear sir:
With deepest sorrow and great agita-
ton I thank you for relieving me from
my engagement with yourself and the
public. The news of the morning has
smade me wretched indeed, not only be-
scause | have received the unhappy It'd
.ings of the suspicious of a brothers
crime, but because a good man and
most justly hOnOred and patriotic ruler
has fallen in an hour of national JOY by
the hand Of an assassin The memory
/. OF the thousands who have fallen on the
field in our countrys defense during this
struggle cannot be forgotten by me even
lin this, the most distressing day Of my
slife. 1 most sincerely pray that the vic
Stories we have already won may stay the
brand of war and the tide OflOyal blood
4 while mourning in common with all
sIoyal hearts the death of the president
i am oppressed by private woe not tC
! be expressed in words But whatever
scalamity may befall me or mine, my
scountry one and indivisible has my
3 warmest devotion.

A WORD TO SUBSCRIBERS,

Heretofore we have been sending the
Spectator" only to those who had paid
for longer time than the paper had
been sent up to the time Of the suspen-
sion of lis publication by the destruc-
ton of the Office. From this date it
will be sent to all on the subscrip-
ton list who can be reached by the
present limited mail facilities. Those
who will receive it now, to whom it has
not been sent heretofore, will know FROM
that fact that they are owing for it
We know that our subscribers are re-
sponsible and disposed to pay, and that
they appreciate the propriety Of doing
SO as early as possible. We desire to
send the paper to all Of its former sub
scribers, but cannot do so unless they
pay promptly. We would like to ex-
tend indulgence to them at this time as
we know that the very best subscribers
on the list have great diff Guilty in get
ting money, but the destruction Of our
Office and the loss of all our capital, the
earnings OF our past life, invested in
Confederate securities, render it indis
pensably necessary for us to collect as
speedily as possible the money due us.
The paper will be enlarged in few
weeks to double its size, and it is our
purpose to get a supply Of new material
as soon as the prompt payment of sub
scribers will enable as to do so.

FEDERAL AND CONFEDERATE
STRENGTH.

There were more Federal soldiers in
the field at the close Of the war than
the whole white male population Of the
Confederacy between the ages of Is and
50 years. So that the cheek OF any
Federal who may boast of conquering
the South should mantle with shame.
The wonder is NOT that the Confederate
armies had to succumb when they did,
to Overwhelming numbers and resour-
ces," but that they were enabled to hold
out SO long. Suppose the numbers of
the respective armies had been reversed,
how would the war have resulted, and
how long would it have lasted!

CONGRESS AND LEGISLATURE.

The Charlottesville Chronicle of the l6t h
inst. contains notice signed by IA respec-
table and influential citizens of Albematle
who, desiring that there Should be no contest
in the election for Congress and members Of
the Legislature, request the people of each
Magisteral District in the County, to meet in
their respective districts, and appoint four
delegates to Convention to be held at Char
otesville on September Court Day for the
purpose, 1st, of nominating candidates to rep
resent the County in the next Legislature,
and I'd. to appoint delegates to Congressional
and Senatorial Conventions. whose duty it
shall be to nominate candidates for Congress
and the State Senate.
We notice this subject with the view of
suggesting to the citizens Of this County the
propriety Of nominating candidates for the
Senate and House of Delegates in meeting
of the citizens at the Court House either on
August or Sept. Court days and at the same
time of appointing delegates to a Convention
to nominate Candidate for Congress in this
District The election will take place on
the 2nd Thursday in October next. AS the
number of citizens now eligible to Offices
is limited we should be careful TO select
the best belonging to that class. The Con-
vention should be held at Staunton.

THE srAUNToN SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER

endanger its very existence-that it would
ensure the protection of no Southern interests,
but betray them all to destruction-that it
would not secure additional freedom, but
would probably quench in fratricidal blood
the vesal fame of liberty, and leave us to
grope our miserable way through the Gins
merriam darkness of military despotism.
If it were wrong to be friend Of the Union
before the war, then are we, and nineteen
twentieths of the good people of this county,
not innocent. But whilst We were devoted
to the Union and desired it's preservation, we
did not believe blood to be proper cement,
and were opposed to the exercise Of military
coercion This was the view entertained by
President Johnson, as expressed in speech
delivered by him in the Senate of the U. S.
in December, 1860 This was the view takea
by the people of the South, and they thought
they were justified in following their anstinc-
the impulses to resist coercion.
We thought so, and though we have been
defeated and are still governed by bayonets,
yet we avow, boldly and fearessly, that we
cordially supported the Confederacy in its
struggle, giving it "aid and comfort" We
lost all that we had saved Of seventeen years
labor by investing it in Confederate bonds
thus contributing our mite to aid in sustain
ing the totteriDg credit of the Confederacy-
and are now, pecuniarily, as Wilkins Micaw-
Der would say, "a fallen and ruined tower"
We do not regret the course we pursued
We did what we believed to be right, and
consequently enjoy
IA peace above all earthly dignities,
A still and quiet conscience"
The allegiance of the citizens Of the sece-
ded States is now due to the U. S. Govern
ment, and it is their duty, as we have no doubt
it is their purpose, to be faithful to all their
consequent obligations We will yield cor
dial obedience to the "Constitution and laws
passed in accordance Herewith" but will
claim and exercise the right to oppose by
Constitutional means whatever law We may
believe to be violatiye of the Constitutional
rights Of the citizens. No earthly power can
force US to advocate a principle or policy
which we may disapprove.
We maintain that the citizens of the South
should be restored as soon as possible to all
the rights, privileges and immunites of citi-
zens of the U. Shat they should be res.
tored to all the rights they possessed before
the war We will sedulousy maintain the
just rights of the citizens and labor to have
their blrth-right restored to them, for
"'Tis Liberty alone, that gives the flower
Of aeeting life its lustre and perfume;
And we are weeds without ito

BEFORE AND DURING THE WAR.

Since the "Spectator" Office was destroyed
by Gen'l Hunter, We have not had the pie as
ure of holding Editorial communion with the
patrons and friends of this sold family Jour-
nal" The Herculean task of asserting F'pi"
and educing order out of chaos consumed all
the time from the departure of Gen. Hunter
to the arrival of Gen. Sheridan. The surren-
der of the Confederate armies, which occurred
soon after, the extinction of the Confederate
Government, and the consequent paralysis Of
all business and destruction of mail facilities,
prevented US from remounting our editorial
tripod at an earlier period. We do not know
that our absence should be at all regretted as
the paper has been published by Messrs.
STRAsBURG & ARGENBRlGHT who, amidst
difficulties which would have deferred persons
Of less energetic spirits, have conducted it
with such ability, prudence ard propriety, as
to command the commentator of its numerous
patrons
Since we last guided the editorial pen great
events have occurred. The greatest drama
ever enacted upon the worlds stage has been
brought to conclusion, and the Confederate
Government which elected SO much hope,
was sustained with such patriotic devotion,
and was defended with such marked heroism,
has, like glorious vision of ench antment,
melted into s'air, thin air" and like
San insubstantial pageant faded
Leaves not rack behind"
As is well known, we opposed, before the
war, every measure which tended in the slight
est degree to weaken the bonds of the Union.
Devotion to the Union, which we then con-
sidercd, in the language of Washington, the
palladium of our liberties" was the strong
est political sentiment which we ever cherish
ed. We opposed secession with "lnight and
main with call our mind, soul and
strength" We maintained, and thought
that We had successfully established, upon
the authority of the chief trainers and ex
FOUNDERS of the Constitution, that the chief
object in changing The Government from that
of the "Articles of Confederation" to that of
the sConstituton of the United States" was
the preservation Of the Union. We denied
the right, and opposed the policy of secession.
We maintained that it was not a remedy for
any Of the evils of which we complained,
but, on the contrary. that it would aggravate
thousand fold all the evils which its ad
yocates claimed it would remedy-that it was
not a constitutional, but revolutionary right
that 1t was not peaceful, but war rem
edy-that it would not secure US our rights IN
the territories, but would result in the loss OF
the territories themselves-that it would not
protect the institution Of slavery, but would

FALSE ASSERTION.

A Richmond correspondent Of the
New York Herald having stated that
Gov. Peirpont intended to change his
policy in effecting the restoration of
Virginia, making it more restrictive,
the Richmond Wing, by authority of
the governor himself, denies the asser-
ton, and says that, within the last few
DAYS, sthe Governor has been more SEN
sibly confirmed in the wisdom of his
past views and policy than ever.
Such correspondents of Northern pa
pers as are persisteDtly misrepresenting
Southern sentiment with malice pre-
