The President and the Radicals.

The n. Y. Ne,cs says that the message of the
President declaring that the rebellion has been
suppressed, and that the Southern States and
people are qualified to resume their proper re-
lations with the Federal Government, placed
him in direct antagonism with the Radicals
That was the signal for the open warfare, and
the Radicals accepted it as such and Immediate
ly commenced to harrass and annoy their enc
miles, Why does not Mr.. johnson strike back
What is he waiting for? There can be no COM
promise, no Cancellation between him and the
faction that so rudely oppose his policy. He
must subdue them or be subdued They have
the strength of fanaticism, he has the strength
of justice the law, the Constitution, the will OF
the people, the principles of political system
Their struggle is for the existence of their party
his for the existence Of their republicanism and
the welfare of their country. Let the issue be
Joined and the strength of the contending parties
be measured. The Executive is the proper off
cial to determine whether there is peace or war,
order or INSTRUMENTATION, in the land. Let Mr.
johnson issue his proclamation declaring gen
eral amnesty, declaring the existence of peace
and tranquility everywhere throughout the Re
public, and formally inviting the Southern
States and people to send their representatives te
Congress, and there will come such acclaim o.
appreciation from the people that the Radicals
will not dare to bar the doors

"OWe no Man ANYTHING"

''Owe no man Especially an Editor any
thing. GLOW sharper than serpent's tooth
it is to have thankless" delinquent subscriber
The Shenandoah Herald says that the unfortu-
nate King Lear was guilty of great folly when
he divided his kingdom between bis two daugh-
tiers, Goneril and Regain, and suffered the pen
atty of his folly by being turned out of doors to
combat the rain, the winds, the thunder and
the lightning. Yet he taxed not the elements
with unkindness; for, said he, 'syou o,cc me no
subscription Can those unfortunate editors,
whose papers were suspended during the war,
and whose Offices were destroyed when they
open their old books and look over the long lists
of patrons, whose names alone are left of all that
once constituted their business, say with the old
cast out king, you owe me no subscription ?'
Very likely they cannot Lear had the advan-
tage of them in this respect, at least, and it
seemed to be matter of profound thankfulness
1t will be blessed time when every editor can
say of his patrons, Individually, he owes me

Arrest Of Col. Mosbv.

About two weeks since, COL Jno. S. Mosby
was arrested, by military authority, at his home
in Fauquier, and taken to Washington and i'm
prisoned.
He is charged, we understand, with having
hanged two Federal soldiers in the Valley, du-
ring the war, in retaliation for the murder of
some of his men. When we remember that
Colonel Mosby, though of that class known as
Partizan Rangers, was regular commissioned
officer in the service of the Confederate States,
and, as such, received the parole awarded 9TH
er officers of General Lees army, his arrest
seems most extraordinary, and fatty in viola
ton of the terms of parole. For some months,
Colonel Mosby has been quietly practicing law
in Warrenton demeaning himself as good and
loyal citizen of his section.
p S.-Col. Mosby has been released He
was not sent to Washington as stated above
He was held under arrest at Leesburg While
in custody of the military authorities there he
was told that dispatch had been received di-
recting his release, provided he was not worth
$20,000 and he was asked to state whether or
not he was worth that amount He naively re-
piled, that he never had been accused of being
the possessor of that comfortable sum, and was
thereupon suffered to depart

that it is now SO great that it requires the Press

Gen. Hunter made perfect wreck of our Pow

punctuality Of our subscribers, we have incurred

A Bold Highway Robbery.

On Saturday week, Mr.. Mr. James B. Fire
baugh Of Rockbridge county, while riding on
the public road leading to the ''burned bridge"
on North River (about three miles above Lex
ington, was suddenly halted by six men, two
white and four black who demanded his mo-
ney. Two of the negroes were armed with
double barrelled shot guns, and the other two
negroes and the white men had revolvers, One
Of the party fired upon Mr.. F., the ball passing
through the sleeve of his oyercoat at the hand,
and another struck him with a stone. They
then foreibly took from him $43 in greenbacks,
$40 in specie, silver watch and plain gold
ring. Rockbridge has becomes dangerous coun-
ty to travel in, as much so as Mexico which is
infested with bands of highwaymen Wewould
advise the Rockbridge people to move down in
to "Old Augusta where peace, order and
quiet reign, now that the Federal soldiers have
left.

4 The frequent battles around Winchester,
Va, have left their traeea in the many graves
scattered broadcast over an area of twelve miles
radius. The dead were generally buried where
they fell, and their rude graves fast disappear
ing beneath the feet of men and beasts, free from
the want of enclosures, to go where they will.
Those who died in the hospitals were mostly
closures have long been destroyed and cattle
Craze over its whole extent,
The farming operations of next season, the
wear OF the winter, and the disappearance, by re-
moval and death of those who were present at
their burials will in few months leave no knowl-
edge of the resting places of many martyred dead
Impeled by these considerations, some of the
citizens OF Winchester and its vicinity have de-
termlned to endeavor to collect these scattered re-
mains IN one cemetery, and surround them by
substantial enclosure. This of course will re-
quire q considerable amount of money. Tho
means of our citizens are very much diminished
by the war and its results; We are therefore, in
duced to appeal to you for aid in this matter, en-
couraged by the belief that you will feelit priv
ilege as well rs duty to pay this last tribute of
respect to the memory Of those who fell in your
cause.
Every Southern State has its representatives
among these fallen heroes; we ask all then for
such contributions as they feel able to give.
Should We succeed in raising the necessary
funds, it is proposed to remove the remains on
the first Of April 1866, and would respectfully
suggest to all whose friends lie under these battle
fields, to disinter them before that time if they
wish to do so. In the removal every precaution
will be taken to preserve all means Of identifca-
ton and an accessible record will be prepared of
every grave.

This welcome exchange has been revived by
Messrs Cole and Barr who had conducted it
with ability and success for quarter of cen
tury before the destruction of their Office by
Federal troops. AS Gen. Stoneman did for
them what Gen. Hunter did for us, We are pre-
pared to sympathise with them We hope they
will be sustained, and that their business may
be more prosperous than it was before the war.
The fact that their Office was destroyed by hos
tile forces, when the country was at war, should
inspire the people with a determination to sub
scribe and pay for their paper. We hope that
Messrs Cole and Barr will have as much cause
to be proud of their list of subscribers as we are
of ours

Old and New Dress.

As the soldier who has worn suit of clothes
through all the trials deprivations, exposures,
and perils of the late terrible war casts it off and
dons new suit in its stead with feelings Of re-
luctance, so do we feel reluctance in giving up
the old type which constituted the dress of our
paper before, during, and since the war, and
which were handled so roughly by the ruthless
soldiers, and substituting them with the new,
with which we present our paper in tasteful
and new dress. Many interesting associations,
some sad and some joyous, are connected with
the type which constituted the old dress. They
have spoken of happy unions and sad partings
have cheered the hearts of some with glad IL
dings of great joy, and saddened the hearts Of
others with mournful intelligence; have given
the names of those who stood at the Hymenial
altar richly arrayed in gay bridal costumes, and
of those who were robed in the gloomy pail and
dank cerements of the grave; have pealed joy
ously the shouts of victory and uttered sadly the
news of defeat But old clothes must be cast
aside, and new be worn; so old type must be
given up and new substituted. Our paper is
now in its new dress How do you like it,
What do our contemporaries think Off We
hope they will not envy us too much to express
their candid opinions. We feel very proud, ii
is true, but we will not cut their acquaintance
because we have aev dress, which is ''thing
of beauty may it be Joy forever WEI dc
not hesitate to recognise our friends except the
Sheriff and our creditors-and still believe a

and doubly armed. Patrols of cavalry were pa
rading the streets of Dublin and the public
roads. The batteries on the coast had been
doublymanned -enforcementso ftroops
had been brought over from various parts of
England, and the ships-of.war in the Irish har-

Multum in Paryo.

The Radicals base their projected Southern
policy upon the assumption that the Southern
States are not in the Union, after waging the
late war upon the idea that there was no such
right as that of secession The Louisville Jour
nal thus briefly but efectually exposes the alb
surdity of their logic. Says the Journal
IF the States lately in revolt are not in the
Union, will the Radicals tells us how they got
"out? We're the secession ordinances valid .
"If not, does mere forcible resistance to law
aor constitution change the binding nature Of
"to obey it?
''Will the Radicals please not dodge? How
'did the States get ont, if they are out?'"
