Loyalty meant obedience, as rebellion
meant opposition to the Constitution
ana the laws. The men who assailed
these, no matter by what name they
styled themselves were rebels, and the
men who obcyed the laws We're the true
patriots and loyalists Of the country.
Passing to National topics, Colonel smith
endorsed the restoration policy of Pres
ldent Johnson, and denounced the ac-
ton OF Congress in excluding the South
ern States from the Union, after the
successful conclusion of the war. waged
toprevent them from seeding. Iithose
States We're actually out of the Union,
why had we fought them? II they
We're in the Union, why were they de-
MED representation: Nor are they, as
the Radicals claim, reduced to the status
OF conquered provinces. One govern
ment may subjugate another, but no
nation can subjugate itself. Much less
did they by secession place themselves
in the condition of territories. Such an
admission is not only fallacious nitself,
but the men who make it admit doc
trine which, if correct, would destroy
the existence of West Virginia as a State.
West Virginia came into the Union, not
as territory but as part of a State. 70
her formation, the consent Of the recog-
nlzed State government was necessary
and had been given. If Virginia, by
rebellion, become territory, she could
not act as a State; her consent to di-
vision was illegal, and West Virginia,
which resulted therefrom, is nullity
and fraud. The conclusion is irresist-
ihle if Virginia occupy territorial con-
dition, and the men who so insist, in
stead of being friends, are the worst en-
emies the new State could positively
have. After an ample development
and presentation of this idea, Col. Smith
concluded his remarks, by classification
of present parties us unionists and dis
unionists. The disunionists were those
who insisted with Congress and the Rad
icals that the Southern States are still
out of the union, While the true union
men were those who claim with the
President that no state could secede, and
that the war has preserved the union,
with all the rights dignity and equality
of the several states unimpared Col.
Smith was frequently interrupted by
loud demonstrations OF applause, and
when he closed, the cheers OF the con-
vention attested how we'll they appre-
GATED his powerful effort.

ELOQUENT PREACHING.-Asa Hartz
letter addressed to the New York
News, to his bower, Jaque O. Dimuntz,
describes the effect of AN eloquent SER
mon to which he lately listened i'm the
town of DanvilIe, Virginia. Hear him:
The minister had been painting in
beautiful language the happy journey
ings of n pious soul through this world
of sin and sorrow to the abode Of glory.
He spoke of himself as a recruiting Off
Ger for the army of the just, and wound
up in tones I never shall forget, "Will
you go?" It's effect was electrical, my
bower. Several hard looking eases, who
seemed as though they would make eX
cellent subjects for conscript officer,
rose to their feet, and simultaneously
asked-"How much bounty will you
give?'

1t is amusing to witness the dismay
of the radicals at the complete success of
the great Restoration Convention in
Philadelphia. With characteristic cool
ness they are attempting to "pooh-pooh"
it when they all know that in point of
numbers, enthusiasm, and harmonious
action, it was never approached in this
country. Like their ancient prototype,
they 'sdon't think it will be much Of a
shower after ALL" But the deluge will
come.

Terrible 1MictiOst.

Old Thad. Stevens, in speech few
days since, in Lancaster county, said:
"You all remember that in Egypt he
sent frogs lOcusts murram, lice, and
finally demanded the blood of the first
born IF every one of the oppressors.
Almost all of these has been sent upon us
More than the tirst-born have been ta-
ken from us. We have been oppressed
with taxes and debts, and he has sent
UP worse than lice, and has afflicted us
with Andrew Johnson! Long eontin-
ued applause
The Old Anti Mason and Disunionist
does not even fear to charge God with
the works of his own party. 1t was
that party which brought upon the
country the long and bloody war and
all of its accompanied evils. Even if
Andrew johnson is worse than the
Egyptian lice, the Republican party are
responsible. They elected him. They
encouraged Lincoln to go to the theatre,
where he was killed in the midst of sin
and iniquity-they are re- ponsihle.
But johnson would make the country
a paradise, where all would be prosper
Gus and happy, were it not for the Rad
icals. They prevent the union of the
States, which is essential to make labor
abundant and every man feel himself a
sovereign--a ruler in the most power
full empire on earth.-Delaware Gazette.

THE New YORK HERALD gives the
following true but exceedingly imper-
feet epitome of what the radicals in the
present Congress have done:
Since the present Congress was in SEES
sion we have seen how the radical ele-
nlent has been striving for power by
every means, regardless of the good of
the country; how it has been drawing
tighter and tighter the band around the
President, in the hope of crushing out
the authority of the Executive and con-
eentrating power in the hands Ola clique
of INSCRIPTIONS politicians. For this
end the radicals have assailed Mr.. John
son in vituperative language unworthy
of the lowest class of society. They
have heaped taxation upon the people
in every shape without mercy. They
have kept the country disorganized, adj
yocated and insisted uTon disunion,
crippled the resources Of an entire sec
ton, kept up the prices of the necessa-
ries OF a nation for a whole year, and
set on foot jobs OF the most scandalous
character, which involved fabulous sums
of money for their own benefit.

Just OHf Of their HOies-- Four Com
fedeFutes Come iu u1tH SURRENDER.

The serenity of the office of the COM
handing officer Of this post was agitated
recently by the apparition of four Con-
tederate soldiers, who gave the name
and descriptive lists" as follows: An
thony Monkas, Company T., sd Geer-
gia Infantry, Third Army Corps, A. N.
"; Thomas Wells, ditto; James Brin-
berter, ditto; Allen Tewksberry, Forty
third Louisiana, ditto.
A more ragged set of individuals had
uever appeared before the Colonel during
all the dealings he has ever ha.. with
the ragged rebels" of Lees army.
IeWksberry was a sort of walking IL
lustration of original patchwork. His
clothing had been tied and sewed and
stuck together with string and thread
and thorns until there did not appear a.
solitary square inch upon it which had
not been tied up, sewed up, or stuck up,
in some way or other. His companions
were not quite as badly off, one having
a pair of blue Yankee pantaloons, with
only half a dozen rents in it +; another
hiding the raggedness of his gray pants
with flowing, though ribbonry, Yankee
overcoat, and the other making his de-
cency apparent by concealing the defects
OF his upper garments, with an old OIL
cloth fly, awfully bedaubed with mud.
TeWksberry stated to the Colonel that
he and his party stopped On the Apo
mattox, about seven miles above the
city, after the evacuation of Petersburg,
for the purpose, at first, of resting; that
they staid longer than they expected,
and were cut off. They then made
vow to live on that spot, and never go
home or give up until the ConfederacY
was completely annihilated. They
sought out cave on the bank of the
river, which at that point is very rocky,
and after some little industry succeeded
in erecting for themselves a most COM
Portable little home. Here they lived
upon fish and game and occasional roast
ing ears during all last summer, and
upon bread made of corn they had
gathered from the corn-fields, and an
occasional pig they found without a
mother, in their rambles during the
winter. This spring and summer they
lived as they did last summer, but re-
Gently hearing from an old negro man
that the C0nfederacy had undoubtedly
"gone up" they concluded to quit their
barbarian life and surrender They
marched to the city yesterday morning
with their muskets and accOutrements,
stacked arms in front of headquarters,
sent in word that they were the remnant
of the Army of Northern Virginia, md
that they wished to surrender upon the
conditions accorded to the main body
Colonel Milton cordially assented to
their request, gave them transportation
to their homes, and babe them adieu.
The illustriOus four roamed about town
for short time, had new suits ofclothing
given them, and after being made about
half drunk, embarked ON the Southern
trains for their homes.-Petersbvy IN

THE CHILDREN's SOUTHERN RELIEF
FAIR-LIBERALD DONATION kind
lY hearted women Of Baltimore seem
determined to persevere in their efforts
to alleviate the sufierings of the people
of the South. The exertions on their
part which eliminated in the great
Southern Relief Fair have become a
matter of history, and their good deeds
are now household words at thousands
of Southern firesides, Since the close of
the fair they have not relaxed their ex-
ertions. They have had concerts, ex-
hibitions, executions, &C., all in aid of
Southern orphans, and on Monday, the
10th instant, there is to open another
fair, in the hall of the Maryland Insti-
tute, under the auspices of "the Chill
dren's Southern Relief Association
The Messrs. Stieff, No. 7 North Liber-
ty strest, have presented to the mana
gors of this fair, through Mrs. e. A. F.
Mears, No. SO North Charles street, one
OF their latest improved seven-octave
pianos. The instrument is finished in
the highest style OF the art, the case be-
ing carved all round, and with richly
carved feet and pedal. 1t has all the
latest improvements, with the Agrafiee
attachment. The cost price is 500, and
the managers fully expect to realize at
least 81 900 from it's sale. 1t will be
remembered that these enterprising
gentlemen donated an instrument to
the late Southern Relief Fair, and this
second gift to the same cause shows that
their hearts are alive with the right
kind Of sympathy for suffering humani-
ty.

Say what you will of old maids, their
love is generally more strong and sincere
than that of the milk-and- water crea-
lures whose hearts vibrate between the

the ballroom. Until the heart of the

and exclusively ON one object, her love
is like May showers, which make rain
