Gloomy Views

The result OF the recent elections In the New
England States, and the outrageous conduct Of
considerable number of the people in the
Western States towards President Johnson, have
had the effect of causing many persons in the
South to take gloomy view of the situation.
The Richmond Examiner says that ''the coun-
try is the prey of Fastening ills. The profigacy
of the times admonishes us to hope little and
fear much. The war for the Union seems to
have resulted in the preparation of disunion.
Inc constitution has been saved only to be con.
temned and trampled upon Liberty has ceased
to be anything but name, OR realized only by
Radicals and negroes. The spirit of John
Brown is rife in the North. It is marching
on, conquering and to conquer 1t will down
at no ones bidding, and stalks onward with an
aspect presaging inconceivable horrors.
1t is, indeed, stupendous outrage upon the
American people that their President is SO 81
fenced and insulted but that is comparative
tribe to the ananaus of which it is the alarming
exponent. A icentious party dominates the
nation, and in reckless career of excuses Of
all kinds is hurrying us all to catastrophe that
shall whelm everything that is Justly held
dear. We believe that We are on the verge Of
disasters that will end in bloody civil war be-
tween the parties of the North, and war Of
races here. 1t is worse than folly to attempt to
disguise matters. Never in the history of the
United States have all omens been SO porten-
tious Our malignant star is in the ascendant.
and horrors brood over us.

STAUNToN.-A visit to Stanton last week
afforded an opportunity of making inquiry as to
the state of affairs in that section with result
truly gratifying. Business there is brisk, and
the hustle and confusion indicates thriving,
prosperous condition. Store-houses, dwellings,
as well as building sites, are in great demand,
whilst on every hand evidences ofimprovement
are met with. The hotels, probably the best in
the State, are crowded with guests, and the
various lines of communication with the place
are literally patreenized Centrally located, and
State, Staunton promises to be an inland city
of no inconsiderable Importance Winchester
must bestir herself if she would maintain her
pre-eminence as the principal town Of the great
Valley-the centre of intelligence, refinement
and business. We congratulate our Staunton
friends ON their energy and enterprise. = Wm-
