Z GENERAL LoNGsTEEET WITH New Voea,
TIoN.-We learn from the Richmond Exam=
iner that General Lopgstreet, who was. 90
well known as a commander Of the. First
Corps Of the Army Of Northern Virginia itI.
Confederate times, has entered into partner.:
ship with Messrs W. M. Owen and 3. Owes,
and is now transactiug the business Of cotton
factor and general commission merchant il,
New Orleans; under the title Of Lopgstreet,
Owen 4 Co. A great deal has been said,
concerning the attitude of the Southern
!" leaders" and it ia great satisfaction to-
see that one who ha: occupied SO prominent
and important q position as General Long,.
street, has determined to meet the difficult.
ties of the situation fairly and without finch:
ing in thus devoting himself to sthe aceus-
toned paths Of commerce. Such examples
as this will do more than oil else to dissuade
the young men of the South from any scheme
Of speculative emigration, and they will soon
come to the conclusion that home, with sH
its troubles, is better than esen peaceful
foreign land. To General Lesgstrest,. .inshis
new calling. We wish ascenipIete5 and 'sentfsey

evidence of disloyalty if the old First Corps
still endeavors to maintain and support that
inhexible man who led them undauntedly on
in many weary march, and on many a

The Best Cure for Sorrow.

Attempts to drown the sense of misfortune
in stroDg-drink are the climax of human folly
Ixtoxication eventually aggravates and inten.
sites every evil which it is invoked to allevi
ate. 1t has been this from the day when
man first "put an enemy in his mouth to
steal away his brains," and thus it will be to
the end OF time. No sane and sober man
denies the fact. Even the habitual irunkard,
in his brief intervals OF reason, shudderingly
admits it. Yet thousands of intellectual be-
irgs-many Of them richly endowed with
mental gffts-seek consolation from the bot
tie in the hour of affection, though rcvela.
tion, history, observation and instinct alike
teach them that Of all the broken reeds upon
which weakness.eyer leaned, the false excite
ment caused by liquor is the most treache-
rous. 1t is passing strange lone Of those
anomalies to which philosophy furnishes no
clue, and for which we can only account by
supposing that power Independent of them
selves, against whose influence mere reason is
no sure protection, betrays men into ruin.
There are only two genuine salves for sor-
row-prager and auork. Trust in God and
keep doing is the bestrecipe for every human
care. There are no wounds of the spirit
which it will not heal. Strength, fortitude,
patience, resignation are as sure to be vouch.
safed to the unfortunstes who earnestly pray
for them, and at the same time are diligent
in the performance Of their temporal tasks.

ATRocIoUs MURDEs.-It has never been
our duty to record a moro appalling and VII
full murder than that which occurred in this
vicinity on Saturday evening last. 1t seems
that young man, Albert Geer, taop Of Mr..
David Geer, Sr,) was returning to his home.
from the village, some three miles distant
and about dusk had reached within four.
hundred yards of his fathers house, when Ie
was .brutally attacked by oae. or more per-
sons, and left in q manged and insensiibIe,
condition. Hearing cries of distress, AI6erfs
mother went in the direction they indicated.
and after o short while elapsed, found the e.
body of her SON, horribly mutilsted., Hs
skull WAS badly fractured in four places, ss,
if with sharp instrument. OF course, be.
remained insensibIe, andon Monday mornileS
breathed his last. No clue has been obtained
as to the provocation for this inhunari and
brutal assault, which ended tho Life of
peaceable, quiet and inoffensiye youth. The
entire sympathy Of our community is with
the aged parents in their deep affliction.
Two negroes have been arrested upon sus-
picion for completely in, the murder, but as
the matter will undergo official Investigations
