There is nothing Of any special interest STIR

petitions are in circulation instructing the del
egates from Fairfax and Loudoun counties, to
advocate at this session Of the Legislature, The
annuling of all State and individual obl'ga-
tons contracted previous to the close OF The
late war. How many have signed these petit
tons, I do not know. Invading armies have
desolated our fair fields and the incidents OF
war have carried mourning into almost every
household: but amidst these Affections we
have preserved to us our credit and honor, and
our people will not deprive themselves OF tins
rich heritage by deliberately branding the good
"Old State" in this, her time OF sore DISTRESS
with the infamy Of reputation.
Deprived OF our facilities for raising money,
our whole commercial interests are bottomed
upon credit, Repudiate, and this credit IS gone
forever, and the State hopclessy ruined

influence in defence of her credit 1t Is ar
gued by some few who are favoring the scheme
that reputation will relieve Us Of our indebt-
edness to Northern merchants, who were IN
strumental in bringing on the war which has
IMPOVERISHED US, and in running and destroy

certain extent, We would be relieved OF our
poverty; but On the other hand We would he

ways been conservative, and at the close OF the
war evidenced their kindness towards Us, by
offering us liberal credit, notwithstanding
that cur previous Indebtedness was undl5-

possible our credit would be gone and our COM

When reputation shall receive the SANCTION
Of the Legislature, then will Virginia have oc-

Farewell, a long farewell, to all my great

VIENNA, FAIRFAX Co., Va, Dec 4.
The writer OF the above may dismiss all
fears about Reputation in Virginia. There
can be no such thing in the old commonwealth.
People may be poor, and may not be able just
now to pay all that they owe-but they will
pay all they can, and never repudiatc.

The Richmond Enquirer says: eve learn
through gentleman just from Washington,
that General Schenck expresses the opinion
that no serious effort will be made to territorial
;ze the Southern States. It is, however, sup
posed that the Radicals will assert the doctrine
that it is not necessary to count the votes OF
the Southern States on the proposed Constitu-
tional Amendment, and will claim that it has
been legally ratified" Our information from
Washington is, that very serious effort will
be made to territorialize the South, and that,
from present appearance the effort is likely to
be successful.

ENO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.
4 Ifyou need one of the best remedies ever Of
fered to the people of this State for arrangements
of the Liver, such as Congestion of the Liver Tor
por of the Liver, Deficient Secretion Of Bile and
the long list OF diseases resulting from such de-
rangements as Jaundice, Bilious Collie, Loss of p
petite, Dyspepsia, Fluctuations of food Fatulen-
cy, painful digestion or pain in the stomach or
sides, Vertigo, Headache, sick Headache, Neu-
ralgia, Rheumatism, Impurity of the blood and
all conditions ordinarily called Bilious Derange-
ments of the Digestive Organs; all forms of Con-
stipation, and for all the purposes of Family
Pill, use ''Dr. L. Rennods' celebrated Virginia
Hepatic and Purgative Pill"
This pill is not the invention of a uuack or an
lmpostor, designed to impose upon public credu-
lily, but was compounded by DR.. T. Rennods,
OF Staunton, Va, regular graduate and eminent
practitioner of medicine in this section who after
years of careful study, so arranged the proper
tons OF the ingredients as to render it applicable
to the diseases for which it is recommended He
had 10 idea of extending their use beyond the
community in which he lived and practiced, but,
after his death, which occurred in January, 1864,
having left the formula for compromising them to
his brother Vim. Rennolds, of Louisa county,
va, the latter, tor reasons stated in pamphlet
around box containing them has undertaken to
have them manufactured for the people Of the
whole State
IHlS plil has StOOu the test OIample experience,
having been extensively used and highly valued
by the people of this section for many years, as is
substantated by certificates contained in PAM
phlet around box as well as other evidences of
appreciation from many Of our most distinguished
and reliable citizens
The price of this pill is fifty cents per box
Though this is apparently higher than the price
charged for those ordinarily sold to the public,
yet it must be remembered that the dose is less
than one half of the latter, and consequently is
just as cheap as any others.
To prove this, it is only necessary to call atten-
ton to the fact that boxes of pills usually contain
from "a to 80 pills. the average dose being from
to s. Our boxes contain IL, the dose being on
ly one for ordinary purposes, and hence thequan-
tty IS just as great in u smaller bulk without ref
erence to the certainty and efficiency of the rem
dy and obviating the serious objection to taking
SO many for one dose.
Nothing is claimed for this pill that we do not
conscienciously believe and if we cannot succeed
in introducing it to the people by stating the
truth, we will not degrade ourselves or try to i'm
pose upon Others BY going beyond it,

not so near as to cause the guests to be ANNOYED
by the running of trains, and the noise and bus

To such as may feel disposed to patronize those
who served with gallantry and fidelity in the
Confederate army, they would say that one of
their firnl-Col. Chas S. Peytou-raised a yolun-
teer company at the beginning of the war, and
had the misfortune to lose an arm in the second
battle of Manassas, and that, Notwithstanding he
was thus crippled he remained in the service in
the field and was again wounded in the terrible
battle of Gettysburg. He remained in the mill
tary service till the war was over.
The Projectors, however, do not rest their
claims to patronage upon military services and
sacrifices, but upon the
CHARACTER OF THEIR HOTEL.

modations, whether
