: Reconstruction.

We take the following sensible
remarks on this subject from the Bcrke'
lev Union. We have our own fears that
the /" Mcclellan policy" will have to give
way to a "shermau and Grant policy
yet: 49,, -a...'. .'... ..~,..
President Johnson's plan Of rcotgan-
izatiou in the rcvolted States is simply
experimental, as he fully and frankly
declared to General Schenck at recent
interview upon the subject.
as proof that his policy was simply
experimental, he referred to his prompt
interference BY military authority to set
aside the elections in Richmond, where
it was evident that men had been chosen
to office in bad faith 10 the general gov
crnmcnt. lie declared that his action
in reconstruction was not final, but
simply experimental, and that he gave
to the people thc''initiatory work, lcav'
ing to the President and Congress the
right to modify or reverse their action. =
If the people wisely and judiciously
perfect their re organization in conform
ity to the laws and Constitution Of the
United States; the Federal Government
will most chcerfuRy acquiesce in and
sanction their work but If, cherishing
still the bitter aud. reasonable spirit ot
the late revolt, they enter into the work
Of reconstruction and elect men because
Of the distinguished part they played in

When our country called, we came from forge,
store aud mill,
From the workshop farm and factory, thS
broken ranks to fill; -
We left our quiet, happy homes, and those
we loved so well,
TO vanouish all our Unions foes, or fall where
others fell -
Now in prison drar We lans'siSh, and it is
our constant cry,
Oh, ye who yci can save us! will ye leave us
here to die?
The voice of SANDER tells you that OUR hearts
were weak with fear
That all, Or nearly a!l' Of us, were captured IN
the rear .,
The scars upon our bodies from sabre, ball
and she'll
The missing legs and shattered arms trncr
tale will tell
We have tried to do our duty in the sight oil
God on high,
Oh, We who vet can save us ! will yc leave us
here to die?
There arc hearts with hopes still beating, in
our pleasant Northern home,
Waiting, watching for the footsteps that may
never never come
In Southern prisons, pinins, weary, t"ttercd'
pale and gaunt,
Growing weaker, weaker daily, from pihehlnS
cold and want,
Their brothers. SONS, and husbands poor and
hopeless captives lie,-
On We who can yet save us will ye leave Us
here to die? n'
From our own prison gate, there's grave
yard near at hand,
Where lie twelve thousand Union men be-
meath the Georgia sand,
Scores and scores arc laid beside them as DAY

And thus il will be ever, till we all have pass

Now ENGLAND vs.. West Virginia.

Now England VS.. West Virginia
It is difficult for US to sec abstract
truths; and by comparison and contrast
onlv, We arc able to sec. things as they
really are. We confess (till Of late) We
never saw much in West Va. but bar
rcn hills, cliffs, rocks, gloomy waterfalls
and dismal forests; and in many places
lifcless, dead, shiltless population
We never imagined that Virginia was
much, with the exception of those few
farn,s aut Gelds where wealth and cnter.
prise were found. Hence, VIC gave up
the country and went west, where the
soil was rich, the population Yankee, and
consequently great thrift the result
Seeing the war threatened u.s. VIC con.
,cluled to DO all We could to bind the
two sections (north and south) together.
So We married yankee wife, and thus
brought Virginia and Vermont in close
proximity by holy alliance" This
took US frequently to New England
where wo had chance Of comparing
that section with this, our native State.
Now We propose to give the result Of our
observations - New England, with the
greatest number of disadvantages is a
hundred years ahead of Virginia to. day!
Let US soc in what respect. Examine
the statistics Of New England, as to
churches, schools, public buildings, rail.
roads, commerce, manufacturing and as-
riculturc, and YOU will DO utterly con
founded at sccing that country so far In
advance Of West Va, especially when
you consider how mcagcr their resources
when compared with ours. ... q.
| All they have in New England is on
the surface. They have no mineral
wealth with the exception Of q few small
copper mines that are wrought BY them.
Their timber is mostly small and scrub
by, their soil is misorablY thin and sandy
as general thing, yet thay have made
ull that land blossom as the rose. Near
ly every foot of it is. under fence, and
either cultivated like a garden, or kept
for pasture. The fallen timber alone is
used for fuel. But,by the hand Of in.
hustry, the soil is cultivated like gar:
den, the manufacturing interests are all
carried on 10 the greatest perfection, til!
they have grown to be a.mishty people,
q noble people, tremendous element OF
power in this nation, q good and wise
people, with school house in every dis.
trict, nice church in, every ncishbor.
hood al ndvillage, their CON mcrce is great
their manufactures are not surpassed in
the world. , .,
- Now VIC have fine climate, (West
Virginia is next to the most healthy
State in tho Union according to the cen :.
sus) splendid soil, the best of coal in
the world, Salt, Iron, Lead, Oil. Timber
and water.powcr cquul to New England.
And all we need in the world il to dc
vclop these resources and we are o rich
and mighty people; and with the moral,
social and religious elements charao:
ter;stic of Firginians, We can and will
take position so far in advance Of
where We now stand, chat within , fifteen
or twenty years from this time wo will
scarcely recognize ourselves.-Fet

But the point We mako is the probable

struction of the Southern States; like
the Governments policy in the first
stages. of the war, its error, if any, is a
too great lcniency shown to its late bit
ter enemies. 81 10,
But our Government manifcstfng q
magnanimity often more generous than
lust, us in the first two gears Of the war,
now extends to its oncmics the olive
branch, and comedies to them the high
prerogative Of free citizens in the work
Of reconstruction on o loyal basis. If
they abuse this privilege and fail to re-
orco n;zc und return to a loyal devotion
to the Union, the Government may try
q Grant und.Sherman policy ip the work
Of reconstruction. That the Presidents
policy is not final unless successful, We
arc convinced, and if conservatism crops
out too rank in elcctious, they will be
set aside by military authority.
