all that is right-do nothing that is not
right. This is all that the victors can
rcQuirc--it is all that those who contri
butcd most to overpowcr us will require.
If the Radicals Of the North require
more than this, and we are compelled
to submit, let us ut least submit with
dignity.
The General spoke at length Of the
dcgencrating effects following unsuc
ccssiul revolutions, giving lessons of
warning from both ancient and modern
history. This was the great danger
that our people should guard against
chvalry should be nurtured and cher
shcd with rs much watchfulncss and
care as the lady bestows upon the most
delicate and rarcst plant. That chival-
rv and consciousness Of manhood may
be kept alive with the people, and de
gener?cy avoided, he would encourage
and patronizc the tournaments that
were becoming common in this portion
Of the country.
He spoke Of the efforts of President
johnson TO restore the country to tran
guilty, and to effect real restoration
of the Union, in terms of the highest
commentator, and said he "praycd to
God that he might succeed"
General Hood closed by cxhorting
the people to forget past differences,
and to cease pining over what could
not be hclped--to go to work and re-
store the country to its former pros
perity, to do their duty in all things, and
leave the consequences in the hands OF

Texas Cotton Crop.

not realize more than half what they
expected month ago. We ecould back
t sis assertion BY extended quotations,
b ut deem 1t unnecessary, The north is
determined TO believe that the crop will
amount to no less than two millions OF
bales, and bad reports fOm Texas will
induce it to change its mind. England
is in the incredulous state as to bad re-
ports from this country. We certain-

that they, after sensible survey Of the

and new masters appeared, they assum-
cd the position they had once taught
as proper. And therefore, / say, talk
not to me that those people cannot be
subducd."
The Baltimore Gazette, in noticing
the above, eloquently remarks: He
has no doubt looked upon more than
one woman kneeling at his feet. And
to any man whose heart was human,
what story that picture would have
told! What more could have been
needed to have enabled him to fathom
the depth Of the humiliation in which
the suppliant had brought herself to
plunge, to guage the intensity Of the
agony and fear that maddened her, and
to measure the boundlcss tenderness
and love Of the hearts that could sub
init to sue so humbly for the sake of
others! What could have been added
to the scene that would have told him
more plainly that he must be q brute
and tyrant who could bring Il woman
to a pass like that! How could they
have said more frankly that they knew
his vain and savage nature could only
be Modified by their abasement, and
that for the sake of those they loved
they had consented to the painful sac
rifce! No man who did not disgrace
the name and uniform of a soldier
would have been apt to witness such a
spectacle more than once. Any m n
who was not living dishonor even to
the mother that bore him, would have
been touched with pity. But this man
glories in the thought that he has
brought women to their knees. He
gloated over the sight at the time, and
he rcvcls in the recollection Of it now."

Is West Virginia a Real State?

The Journal of Commerce exposes,
with an almost cruel force and terse-
ness, the ilcgtimacy of West Virginia
as State, and the Inconsistency OF the
Radical politicians in regard to it. That
able journal asks:
How came New York to be equally
matched in the Senate Of the United
States by two Senators representing
new State within the boundaries of old
Virginia? If secession and rebellion
deprived Virginia of her locality in the
Union, of her representation, or right
of representation, in the councils ofthe
nation, how could she give that con-
sent which, by the Constitution, was
necessary to the erection of new State
within her boundaries
No better illustration could be need
ed than this of the Inconsistency of the
Radical politicians. Virginia was re.
gardcd as q State for all their purposes,
but is regarded as no State when they
have another purpose to carry out. She
certainly is no more out Of the Union
now than she was iu the time of war,
when Southern armies held her north.
err frontier. Ifthe policy Of Congress
is to be made the law of the land, does
it not follow, as matter of course,
that tho State of West Virginia vanish
es out of existencey How can terms
of re-admission to the Union, extra
constitutional, be imposed on Virginia
without treating her as unit from the
hour of her pretended secessiOnp 2 How
can she be kept out of the Union as "a
rebel State, without keeping her all
out? The only possible answer is rev.
olutionary. Some ofthe more violent
Radicals acknowledge that West Vir
ginia exists only by the effect Of revo-
lutionary measures, both in that State
and in Congress. One Senator dis
tinctly declares that he voted for the
admission ofWest Virginia, knowing
it to be unconstitutional, because the
Constitution was suspended by the war,
and all things were in revolutionary
condition. Bur even that bold plea for
radical legislation was denied by the
majority Of the Radical leaders, and
there is no pretense for it now. AL is
peace, and the Constitution 10 the only
law on which Congress rests for any Of
its powers. Is Virginia dead because
the war is ended? Has she ceased to
be State, because the Southern Con
federacy is thing of the pastf
