In speaking of the men from the South who
are in the Radical Convention at Philadelphia,
the E:canainer says:
''They are not Southern men. They have
none of the qualities that mark the character.
They may have been born here, but as being
born in a stable does not make man a horse,
so their nativity in this section has failed to
make them Southerners. They have neither
the courage, intelligence, generosity, fidelity MOI
honesty Of the Southern character, and are in
no way entitled to the name They are Yam
kees-Radical Yankees. Not born SO, may be,
but Yankees by habit and association. Yam
KEGS through policy and treason. Yankees by
bargain and sale, Yankees in blood, bone, flesh,
integument and spirit.

VIVO THE PEOPLE OF THE VALLEY.
j OFFICE OF THE VALLEY RAILROAD,
Staunton, April 18th, 1866
We wish at once to push forward the Line of
Railroad which is to connect the Potomac with
the Virginia and Tennessee Road. To do this
we need to have stock taken in the Valley to the
extent of
ONE MILLION OF DOLLARS
This we propose to have done on the following
terms Two per cent. of the amount subscribed,
to be paid in so soon as called for; thirteen per
years; the remaining eighty-fve per cent, to be
paid within the next ten years.
If this amount of Stock be promptly taken
these easy terms we can effect negotiations which
will enable us to have its remainder taken abroad
and which will enable us at the same time, to
raise the money for the Stock taken at home up
on the Bonds of the company payable in ten
years.
1t is unnecessary to say anything in regard to
the vital Importance of this great work. Every
property holder within reach of the Road appre-
ciates it.
1t may be proper to state, however, that cir
eumstances are more favorable now to the con-
struction of this work than ever before or prob
ably than they will be hereafter We have al
ready secured q

This mesirable old sinner who has stolen the
livery of heaven to serve the devil in, says
eff another war shall be forced upon the
country, the loyal masses, who constitute an
overwhelming majority of the people of this
great nation, intend it shall be no child's play.
Southern Contederacy as God found the earth
aohen he commenced the aoOrh Of creatiom-aoith-
out form and void. They aoaU not and ought
not to leave rebel fence rail, clubhouse or dl0el
ling IN eteren States. as for the rebel oopatla-
ton, let them be erterminated. When the war
is wound up, which should be done rapidly and
with swift destruction, let the lands be sold out
to pay the expenses of the war, and settled
only by people who will respect the stars and
stripes.
s'Should another conflict of arms be forced
upon the country, as [ honestly believe it will,
by the combined efforts Of Northern traitors
and Southern rebels, the work of reconstruction
after the conflict is over will be easy. A
Surveyor general aoith deputy and land office
for each county IN the rebel States, and feaC
bayonets to guard them, are oil that aoiU be
required.
In Philadelphia last week this devil incarnate,
repeated the same fendish sentiments as follows:
eff another war comes, want you to divide
'your army into three portions Let the first
''and largest come armed with weapons and do
"the killing. Let the second come with hUe
torches and do the burning. Let the third
fcome with surveyors lines and re-naork out
land resettle the country These are my senti-
ments.
