Loyal Southerners' Address Is also very
able and pointed. AS Bolts declared, it
contains the most scathing indictment
against Andrew Johnson, That was cv-

men of the South know Just how the
matter there stands, and from full
heart they speak right out in the most
straight forward language of loyalty and
Republcanism. Give them a careful

Matthew Arnold has lately published three
papers on The Study of Celtic Literature"
which are among the best things that he has
written, being excellent specimens OF intelligent
and judicial criticism, and containing, in small
space, deal of curious and interesting matter.
AS regards Celtic literature, ne occupies middle
ground, avoiding the mistaken enthusiasm OF
those who find all the traditions OF past ages
therein, chief among whom must be reckoned
the Rev. Edward Davies, the author of 'The
Mythology and Rites of the British Druids," and
the oVer-crtical skepticism OF those who find it
little but mass of imaginative rubbish OF com
paratively recent date. Speaking of one depart
ment of Celtic literature, that of the Welsh, he
states on the authority of one who is no friend
to its high pretenslons that 'the Myvyrian

nation made either AGAINST himself or anybody
else, as is proved by the official communication
of the Minister of the Interior. What his
anonymous German accuser win say TO all this
remains to be seen. For the letters of Marie
Antoinette, which lie at the bottom of this con-
troversy, NJ. Louis Blanc, who ought to be a good
Judge of the matter, aflirms that he Is not sur.
prised that theif authenticity is questioned, and
that he feels bound to say that after having paid
due attention to the controversy to which they
have given rise, he is most decidedly under the
impression that they are not genuine.

Hon. Henry a. Wise's Views.

gentleman who has recently had long con-
versation with the Hon. Henry A. Wise says that
lie approves heartily of the policy we have advo-
Gated of granting charters to capitalists who will
engage to construct Improvements through our
State As we said before, now repeat-let
railroads and canals be constructed, it matters
not by whom " want the improvements, and
what is more, We would be pleased to have them
constructed with the capital Of other persons. In
this way, we would get the benefit not only of the
improvements, but of the introduction into our
State of the vast amounts of money necessary TO
build them-and money now is the great desidera-
tum.
Mr.. Wise is quite lavish in his praise OF the
people of this Valley and especially of the citizens
of ssOld Augusta''--he says we are the best ana
most noble p eeple in the whole country. Before
the war, the people Of Eastern Virginia and The
States South of us did not appreciate our people
as they deserved The scales are beginning to
fall from their eyes, and they begin to appreciate
the great merits, the sterling virtues, and the no.
bic patriotism of our people

short time to the city of Mexico. We publish IN
this issue letter of his dated Havana December
the 18th, 1865, addressed to the Editor OF the N
Y. Meas. IF not rebellious, he is still unrepen-
tant, and, like 'sBill Arp does not want any

he would not accept pardon from the President
Of the United States if gratuitously rendered him
without conditions or restrictions of any kind
that he has nothing to regret in the course pur-
sued by him during the war, except that his SER
vices were not of more avail to the cause for
which he fought-that his faith in the justice OF
that cause is not at all shaken by the result, and
that the world has never witnessed so great po-
litical crime as that committed in the destruction
of the Confederate Government by armed force.
He shows the great disparity in the forces of the
two parties engaged in the war, and says that
more glory attaches TO the s'heroic band of Con-
federates'' than to the Grand Army of the

Valley Railroad.

The Lexington Gdz cite favors the granting of a
charter by the Legislature for the construction of
Railroad from Winchester to Salem. 1t sug-
gests to the citizens of Rockbridge the propriety
of holding meeting at the January Court to give
expression to their views upon the subject.
'Scourgcd and devastated says the Gazette, as a
large portion of the Valley has been, and impov-
erished as it remains in it's whole extent from the
rude hand of war, scheme that promises to re-
suseitate its fallen fortunes, or even to partially
ameiorate its dstresses, must meet the cordial
approval Of every man with a heart in his bosom.
We cannot for moment anticipate any serious
opposition from any quarter TO the granting of a
naked charter for the construction of this work,
and trust that the Valley delegates will push q
bill for the purpose thro' the Legislature without
delay. Meantime, let the people of the various
counties immeda ely interested, move in the mat
ter promptly and earnestly. Any one owning
lands through which the railroad would pass,
could richly afford to give the right of way, at
least take stock in the work to the amount of his
damages, and would find himself repaid on the in
slant by the enhanced value of his property

Negro Evidence.

Those who anticipate SO much danger from
the reception of colored testimony, under the
forms and sanction of the law, instead of in the
patriarchaf courts of the family and the farm, do
not sufficiently distinguish, we think, between
the competency and the credibilay of Witness
To declare witness competent, Is simply to al
low him to be heard. To be credible he must be
worthy of being beliaved. The law prescrIoes,.
and the court decides, as to the comp etency OF
a witness the jury judges of his credibiity, and
values his evidence accordingly. 1t must not be
feared, therefore, that cases in court would be
d eciGed simply upon the wild statements OF
menGacous colored witnesses. Our citizens
have been so long accustomed to study the char
acter, and weigh the statements of the slave
that there is little danger of any in
telligent jury, aided by the bar, being imposed
upon by perjuries when they have the witness
before them, and are thus enabled to question
him, and to watch his countena nee, and COM
pare his different tatements.-Rich. Sentinel.

Lee Observation-Disclosures

Rev. Mr.. S. D. Stuart, of this place, has paid
visit to the City of Baltimore for the purpose of
soliciting subscriptions for an endowment to
Washington College, known the s'Lee Endow-
ment.'' He has secured subscriptions to the a.
mount of near $4,000, and expects to obtain about
as mn ch more in a second visit which he purpo-
ses to make to that liberal city Mr.. s. speaks
in the highest terms of the courtesy and kindness
with which he, and the object he represents, were
entertained while there. The monumental City,
has the enviable reputation of being the most
generous and liberal city in the United States.
The amounts Of gratuitous contributions given by
the beral-hearted citizens of Baltimore in aid of
Southern Institutions and interests are perfectly
astonishing. We hope their noble generosity will
be rewarded, and that their contributions, like
bread cast upon The waters, will return increased
n hun dred-fold. What has been done by the
Committees appointed here, in public meeting,
five or six weeks since The citizens Of Balti-
more have heard of that meeting, which was her

anxious to know something of the fruits of it. The

The Hagerstoun Nd) Mail, in noticing the
fact that Railroad from Hagerstown to We
verton, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, is
now under contract and will be comp lie ted about
July, 1867, speaks of the importance of having
a Railroad to run through this fertile, populous,
and beautiful Valley. In speaking of the pro-
jected Railroad from Hagerstown to Weverton,
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, it says:
ssTt is project of much significance, when We
glance at the map Of our sister State, and the
great Valley of Virginia, and the immense nat
ural wealth of that region extending to the
North Carolina and Tennessee lines. What a
grand result, truly, may not the making Of this
one link in great chain of links, that yet re-
main to be developed, open up for this section
of country. No portion of the United States
presents brighter pros pect for Development
than this great valley of historic fame, extending
from the Potomac southwark. Prolific in her
agricultural productions, her noun tains rich in
mineral resources, she wants but the iron horse
to pillow her fair fields and continuous line of
railway extending to he Atlantic cities, when

Riot In Alexandria,

4 clergyman who was in Alexandria at the time
says that the negroes commenced parading the
streets on Sunday night, armed with pistols
knives and clubs, and marching to the beating Of
drums. They kept up this demonstration until
Christmas morning. On Christmas day, they in
suited number of white persons in various ways.
They halted in front of several houses, uttering
threats at the inmates, shouting at and cursing
the inhabitants generally, and brandishing their
knives and pistols. Finally, these disgraceful
scenes eliminated in an attack upon white man
who was passing along the street. A general
fight soon after ensued between the whites and
the blacks which resul ted in the killing ofseveral
persons, and among them MIR. Mitchell, who be-
longed to the I'd United States regiment Of Dis
trict of Columbia volunteers. The white persons
engaged in the riot were entirely of the class
known as "loyaI." General Augur has directed
an investigation to be made into the circumstan-
ces of the riot and will bring all parties respon-
sible for the affair to justice.
