The Territorial Theory.

We see that our neighbor of the Intel
Egencer fully endorses the plan of the
extreme Radicals which proposes to
treat and govern the Southern States as
conquered provinces. He speaks OF the
territorial theory as "a theory which
finds favor with Congress and with the
people, and which offers speedy, final,
legal and orderly settlement OF the
whole problem of reconstruction." We
wish our neighbor would advise US of
the probable effect Of this theory upon
the continued existence ofWest Virginia
If it be true that the rebel States
lost their sovereignty by their
rebellion, can any legality attach to
their acts, assumed to have been per
formed in their State capacity. Can
the division of Virginia, to which her
assent as State was necessary, be of
any force or legality, if Virginia at the
time of division was no StGtc' Can the
creature be greater than the creator 7
Can West Virginia be sovereign and
independent State while Virginia, her
creator, is dependent territory
Can mere province, tributary and
subordinate, impart to a portion
of its territory and people SOW
creignty and vitality which it does
not itself possess' If so, please explain
the manner and reason of the operation.
The Radicals of West Virginia have al
ways claimed to be her special friends
and protectors, and we should like to
know how they can reconcile their obll-
CATION to her with an endorsement OF
the suhjugation schemes of the Radical
Congressional majority.
The debts due from the various States
lately in rebellion, are also likely to be
productive of embarrassing dilemmas.
As soon as Congress provides those
States with provisional or territorial
governments, their bonds will be worth
10 more than so much waste paper,
and as much of this debt is due
to the North, there is likely to
be q conflict between Radical pol
icy and Radical interest. While
our neighbor is calculating the effect OF
the territorial theory upon the exist
ence of our new State, we wish he
would also Indicate the means by which
the debt of Virginia is to be liquidated
if the old Mother of States is now de-
pendent and irresponsible territory. Al
Virginia is popularity supposed to be IL
arrears with this section to the amount o.
ten or fifteen millions, the result Of his
Investigations will be awaited with In
terest.

greater than that of Ireland as the new
ly emancipated negro is moro ignorant,
brutal and degraded than the English
people.
The history of all nations in all ages
shows that no people who have once
been free can ever be brought to sub
NIT quietly and without an effort to
throw off the yoke to such misgovern-
ment as the radicals propose to put
upon the South. Poland afforded one
example, Hungary another, Ireland
another, the recent Cretan insurrection
against Turkish authority another, the
late rebellion against English dominion
in the East Indies another, and the
catalogue might be swelled
by the addition of an hundred other il
Illustrations of the truth that no people,
having once been free, will patiently
submit to such outrages as form the
main features of the radical programme
in relation to the South. The radicals
profess to be actuated by desire to
to prevent future rebellions; they are
pursuing the course which has bred
civil wars heretofore, and which, so
long as human nature remains as it is,
will continue to bring forth civil tu-
multi and strife.

Sunday Work ON Newspapers.

We see by our exchanges that the
typographical society of Richmond, Va,
have adopted a resolution favoring the
abolishing of Sunday work on daily
newspapers. This is subject which
deserves the attention Of all who pub
lish, as well as all who read the daily
morning papers. Under the system now
customary in all the cities, Saturday is
the leisure day for night printers, while
Sunday is a working day; they are
neither permitted to spend that day
with their families, nor in church. Ii is
true a printer is not, in one sense, com
PEELED to work on Sunday, as he, Of
course, has the privilege of leaving the
employer who exactsit. BUTT amounts,
virtually, to compulsion, for at best il
would force him TO lose two days ont of
the seven. aud that some men could not
well afford to do. Some ten years ago
the experiment was tried in this city,
and, through breach Of faith in one or
two of the offices, we believe, it failed.
There is no good reason why publish
ers, if the public would sympathize in
the reform, could not abolish Sunday
work almost entirely. But, unfortu-
nately, the very people who esteem the
privileges Of the sanctuary above price,
would make each Monday 'blue," should
they fail to have their morning paper,
OF should that morning paper fail TO
contain the very latest scrap of local or
telegraph news. In truth, 4 paper
issued on Sunday morning would
involve but little work on the
part of printers or pressmen, and
but an hour or two's work
for carriers and newsboys on
Sunday morning early, and yet the is-
suing of paper on Sunday morning
would bring down the indignation Of
the religious community as gross dis
turbance of the sanctity and quiet of
the Lords day. Sunday printing is q
greyious wrong to large class Of prin-
ters and editors, but so long as they
have to satisfy the exacting demands OF
an impatient public, and crafty its
greed for the earliest news, there seems
to be but little chance for amendment.
The man who would inform the author
titles of his neighbor cutting wood on
Sunday, would feel greatly chargTined
if his Monday mornings newspapekSid
not contain the news received on I'M
day night by the Atlantic cable.-Ez.

The Health We Begin Life with Soon
Lost

Perfect health supposes not q state OF
mere quiescence, but Of positive enjoy
ment in living. See that little fellow
as his nurse turns him out in the morn
inc, fresh from his bath, his hair newly
curled, and his cheeks polished like ap-
pies. Every step is spring or dance;
he runs, he laughs, he shouts, his face
breaks into thousand dimpling smiles
at word. His breakfast ofplain bread
and milk is swallowed with an eager
and incredible delight-it is so good
that he stops to laugh or thump the Ia
BILE now and then in expression of his
ecstacy. All day long he runs, and
frisks and plays; and when at night the
little head seeks the pillow, down 60
the eye-curtains, and sleep comes with
ont a dream. In the morning his first
note is n laugh and crow, as he sits up
in his crib aud tries to pull papas eyes
open with his fat fingers. He is an en-
bodied joy-he is sunshine, and music,
and laughter for all the house. With
what magnificent generosity does the
author of life endow little mortal pill
grim in giving him at the outset of his
career such a body as this! How mis-
erable to look forward twenty years,
when the same child, now a grown man,
wakes in the morning with a dull,
heavy head, the consequence of smoking
and studying till twelve or one the
night before, when he rises languidly to
late breakfast, and turns from this,
and tries that, wants devilled bone, or
outlet with Worcestershire sauce, to
make eating possible; and then, with
slow and plodding step, finds his way to
his office and his books. Verify, the
shades Of the prison-house gather round
the growing boy; for surely, no one will
deny that life often begins with health
little less perfect than that Of the an
gels.

The uoor.acId Advertiser.

Messrs. MANPIN and PARSONS have re-
vived the Moorefeld Hardy county, Id,
rertiscr after suspension of nearly six
years. The paper presents neat ap-
pearance and gives promise to be an ex-
cellent and well conducted family jour
ual. The editors announce their intcn-
tion to refrain, as far as possible, from
in party politics, but
villa tever political bias it may have
will certainly be conservative. We
wish the enterprise much success. The
cause of good government rests upon
the intelligence of the people and edu-
cation is the foe to such tyranny and
as the radical party has ex-
crcised in West Virginia.
