A Loyal sufferer.

Senator Lane died on the llth inst of
the injuries inflicted on himself some ten
days previously, and it consequently de-
volved upon Governor Crawford, of Kan
sas, to appoint his successor. II would
appear that this functionary soon set
about to inquire (ostensibly) whether or
not it was necessary to. make the ap-
pointment during this session Of Con-
gress.. Indeed he gave it out, as the To
peka Record stated, proiessedIy by au-
thority, that,ethe early adjournment a:
Congress made the appointment unnec-
essary. Whether or not this was as
given out, the following telegram, - in

Soldiers Insultsd and Negroes Cheated.

Soldiers Insulted and Negroes Cheated
H. On Sunday week, Radical and cleri-
cal phiIanthropist of the New England
stripe made his appearance in the pulpit
of negro church at Cecilton, Mary
land. His sermon appears to have been
made up Of declarations Of negro equal
ity and Of Ultimate superiority, calling
on the negroes to assert their dignity,
together with some wantonly false state
ments about the position Of negroes as
officers in the late armies His harangue
finally aroused the ire Of number of re
turned Federal soldiers, who quietly ad-
vised the reverend negrophohst to take
bis departure. This he quickly effected,
without waiting for any resort to violence
in his case, The fellow not only insult
ed the soldiers, but he added insult to
injury by taking with him some $40 of a
collection he had taken up before he
commenced his offensive harangue

FEDERAL CEMETERY.

About seventy Federal soldiers are now in
this neighborhood. Their mission is to estab-
fish cemetery in which to bury the Federal
soldiers who have fallen in this and the sur
rounding counties. We understand that they
have selected a spot on the land of Capt John
Byers, in the suburbs of this place, on which
to pitch 'the bivouac of the dead. y This GEM
etery will contain the remains of such Federal
soldiers as fell in the battles of Port-Republic,
Piedmont and Mcdowell, and such others as
have been buried in other places within the
space around Staunton described by a radius
forty miles in length.
1t would seem from the card published in the
Rockingham Register, by Mr.. John Scanlon,
proprietor of licensed hotel in Harrison
burg. that some of this squad of Federal sol
diers did not treat him as civilly as they should
have DONE His card concludes as follows: :
ssThe Federal soldiers in question called at
nv bar and asked for something to drink, and
I furnished them and for compensation they
cursed me, using sundry abusive and offensive
epithets, telling me to go to hell, and departed
without paying their bills. have chosen this
method of informing their commanding officer
of their conduct, and with view of cautioning
the public against such low, base fellows who
are disgrace to soldiers uniform.

FoUNDRIEs.

The Rockingham Register very justly COM
mends the energy of Messrs Bradley & Co.,
who operate an Iron Foundry at Harrisonburg.
The Register says:
TO show what this Foundry is doing, we
may state that during the present year it has
filled an order for one Mill, for $4,000 lbs. OF
castings. The Foundry now makes two blasts
per week, and has been using, for the last nine
months, from 81 to tons Of metal per week.
This will do very well for little village like
Harrisonburg, but in place of the magnificent
proportions of Staunton it would not be con-
sidered worth mentioning We have two
foundries here, an exhibit from either of which
would throw that of Harrisonburg completely
in the shade One of them, that operated by
Roberts, Nelson & Co., through the Summer
months, made three blasts per week, melting
frequently from two to two and half tons of
metal at blast They furnished to one man
mill gearing to the amount of $4,000 lbs, to
another IA, 900 lbs, to another $4,000 lbs. of
castings, and to many others as much as seven.
eight and ten thousand.
We have not been informed so particularly of
the business done at the Foundry of VIM. A.
Burke, but understand that he is doing large
business

The Fate of Mr.. Davis.

( Under this caption the Richmond Ecanairaer
published an able editorial from which the fol-
lowing was extracted. :.
IF all the hopes, sacrifices and bitter humllla7
lions already inflicted on the people of the
South shall count for naught, after they have
renowned all past aspirations and, submitting
themselves with ready acquiescence to the terms
exacted of them, have plighted renewed allegl-
ance to Union to which they were both solic-
tied and enforced, and if, afterso many mouths
of priyation, suspense and effort, they have
maintained and are maintaining Invlolate their
new engagements after all this, deliberately
and with deadly intent, in the person Of their
late leader, (Mr. Davis, where their affections,
their pride, and their honor are most engaged,
they are to be wounded and outraged, to be VI
cariously tried and punished as criminals, how
is it possible they should not feel it as an ire
parable wrong, never to be forgotten or forgiv-
en-? The steel would enter into their souls, the
corroding poison of suppressed hate become In
corporated with their blood for generations to
come, and the vigil of many years, if need be,
kept for the opportunity Of retribution. The
leader sacrificed for them and their successors
would be canonized as hero and martyr, and
the cause for which he suffered and died be
consecrated to undying memories and to all the
aspirations of national hopes. Their intelh-
geDce would convince them indeed OF the futil-
ity and madness of present struggle, they would
probably make no outward sign or show OF their
inward agony and rage, for they would be too
proud to crafty, by confession Of a wound they
could not ayenge, but their feelings would only
glow the more violently because pent within
their chatting breasts Thenceforth they might
endure, while they loathed the Union, and sub
nit to the Government, but in it they could
have neither interest or hope. Between them
and the people of the North, in sympathy and
feeling, there would be a great gulf fixed, and
to them in heart they would feel as aliens and
enemies.
1t for the more intelligent and right mind
ed portion of the North to weigh well these in
evitable consequences, and to consider whether
any unworthy thirst for revenge is to stand in
the way of their aspirations for national concord,
unity and strength. Let them remember the
eloquent words of Kossuth: Hatred is no
good counsellor, gentlemen. The wisdom of
love is a better one. -

From the Washington Union, November 10.
A Slight Prospect of Civil War in Wash
~. infrfnn


We perceive from the Chronicle that Forney
true to his instincts, is attempting to infame
the public mind by calling upon the Loyal
Leaguers. as they are termed, to organize them
selves and come to Washington for the purpose
of protecting and vindicating the power of Con-
gress over the constitutional rightssof the Pres
ident, which is nothing more nor less than a
revolution, which must be met with decision
and frmness. If Forney & Go. are determined
to persist in the course they have marked out,
it is the bounden duty of the friends of the
President to accept the issue thus presented,
and prepare themselves for the struggle.
1.-THE time has arrived when the legislative
department of the Government is to absorb the
coordinate branches, the time has also arrived
when it should be resisted at the point of the
bayonet We are In favor of the constitutional
rights of every department Of the Government,
which can only be maintained by each acting
within the prescribed limits Of the Constitu-
ton. When Congress. shall transcend these
limits for the purpose of absorbing the powers
of the President. it is revolutionary, and he is
justified in calling to his aid the whole military
power. of the country, which would be respon-
ded to from North to South, East to West !;
and, when this formidable array of fighting ma
teriaL shall present themselves in vindication of
the Constitution, this grand army of Loyal
Leaguers," as they style themselves, whose log
atty consists in plundering the public treasury,
skulking from the army when their services
were needed, and now exciting the country to
revolution, will never present themselves in bat
tie array The war will be for the Constitu-
tion-not for plumber; for the independence of
the three coordinate branches of the Govern
ment, and against either one absorbing the
functions Of the other.
If the programme presented by Ferney &
Co. is the true and legitimate ground upon
which the Radical Congress intends to plant it.
self, we say to the friends of the President let
us accept the issue, and at once organize for the
struggle. Let our friends in every hamlet and
village organize themselves at once and be
ready for the conflict Let their watch words
be the Constitution-the independence of the
President in the execution Of his constitutional
rights-and. an united country upon terms Of
equality and justice, and present themselves
also in Washington, where these Loyal Leaguers
may have a fair opportunity of looking upon
the material with whom they will have to lock
horns, if they attempt to absorb the constitu-
tional powers of this Government. The i'm
