left under the impression that the undersigned is

GHOST OF THE PAST CONSTITUTION. In
his late speech upon the conference report
commenting upon the fact that the Senate
was behind the House in the march Of rad
icalism, Mr. Stevens said:
"Some fragments of the old shattered
constitution had STUCK, perhaps in the kid
neys Of some Of the Senator'S Daughter, ; and
troubled them at night. When they tried
to progress, the ghost of the past constitution
was found in their way, and INSTRUCTED them
Perhaps that was natural enough. He did
not find any fault with it,
This is gracious, and people who are
haunted by the "ghost Of the past constitu-
tom or who are afflicted with what may now
be termed Stevens ''disease Of the kidneys, .
have reason to be thankful 1t is natural
frailty that the grand mogul Of radicalism
makes all due allowances for. We like the
frankness of the avowal The constitution
is pronounced to be dead by the leader Of
the dominant party, and it is only its ghost
that now and then talks through the halls Of
Congress, complaining perchance, like the
ghost of Hamlet's father Of it's own murder
Murder most foul, as at the best it is;
But this most foul, strange and unnatural"
Will this open the eyes Of the American
people? They have prided themselves upon
their constitution as essence of political wis
dom and the great bulwark of their liberties
It is now disease Of the kidneys, thing
of the past, a ghost!- San.

Of the attitude in which Governor Peirpoint
stands before the country in connection with the
card to which we have referred, the card OF
the ministers of Richmond which was published
in the Spectator of last week, we propose to
add but little to what has heretofore been said.
He has made very broad and very injurious
allegations. He was rendered, we believe, an
opportunity to modify or retract them. He has
declined to do so. The eminent and reverend
gentlemen thus cruelty and wantonly assaulted,
have, over their signatures, and with notice to
the world, offered to each and to all Of those
allegations "a unanimous and an unequivocal
denial.
In the denial they are fully sustained by the
mnltitudes who wait upon their ministry. We
are constrained to say, therefore, that Gov.
Peirpoint stands before the public, dishonored
man. His attack on the Southern ministers,
was also, in its nature, stab at the whole
Southern community. 1t was an invitation to
visit fresh outrages on the people, whom, az
their constitutional guardian, he should have
been forward to protect and vindicate. He has
been therefore untrue to the community, and
untrue to individuals; untrue to his position as
a public officer and untrue to himself as man.

HORSE STOLEN.

On Sunday, the 25th, about 10 o'clock, young
man was passing near G. B. Stuart & Co.'s mill,
on South River, mounted on small bay stallion
Something in his appearance attracted the atten-
ton of Mr.. 6. w. Peace, who lives on Stuart S
farm, and he entered into conversation with the
stranger. From the confused account the man
gave of himself and his horse, Mr.. Peace became
strongly impressed with the belief that the fellow
had stolen the horse. After some parley, he
charged him with having stolen him. He at once
said: ''well, if you think so, you can take him."
and forthwith dismounted. Mr.. Peace said will
take the horse and you also, and advanced upon
him, whereupon the fellow drew a revolver and
made speedy retreat through the bushes. Mr..
Peace being alone and without arms, fastened
to his house and got his gun, and summoned some
of his neighbors and went in pursuit. but the fell
low made good use of his time and effected his
escape leaving the horse, saddle, bride, and q
bundle of clothing in possession of Mr.. Peace.
The supposed thief was rge:athletic man,
about 20 years Of age with large scar under one
of his eyes, The bundle of clothing contained a
calico shirt and two collars, wrapped IN red hg-
ured cotton handkerchief.
The horse is good one, of medium size, and
well formed, He seems never to have been shod,
though, from his mouth, he appeared to be 10 or
IL years old. In the course of conversation the
man stated that he had come from Amherst and
was on his way to Staunton.
The horse and clothing are at G. B. Stuart
residence about 81 miles above Waynesborough,
where the owner of the horse can get him.

Rev. VIM. e. Munsev.

This most excellent, as well as modest and
unassuming christian gentleman, is now con-
sidered the most eminent pulpit orator In
America, if not in the world. When the wri-
ter OF this spent, week with him In his log
cabin house in the mountains of Wythe during
the last year of the war, and saw him laboring
with his own hands among his corn and pota-
toes for the support of his own family and help
less refugees from Tennessee thrown upon his
hands, he little thought he was so soon to star
and the profundity of his reasoning. Not that
we were not aware Of his natural ability and in
domitable energy in acquiring knowledge but
because of his modesty and mistrust of his great
power as pulpit orator and theologian. He
is now stationed in the city of Alexandria, and
altho' fond of quiet and retirement, unobtrusive
and humble in all his habits and demeanor, he
cannot resist the calls constantly made upon
him, and often breaches in distant and strange
communities. Nrginian.

A SMALL IMPOST0R.

A small cripple-one leg being shorter than
the other-giving his name as James Rhodes, of
Hollidaysburg, Pa, spent some time here few
weeks since, during which he borrowed money
from several citizens under the pretence that his
mother had sent him draft to the Greenbrier
White Sulphur Springs, and that he would re-
turn the sums borrowed as soon as he got there.
He did not return the money, and, we learn did
not receive draft, and failed to pay his board at
the Springs. he has returned, and gone, it is
supposed, to Lynchburg. This will prepare the
citizens there to be on their guard against impo-
sition by him
This statement is made at the request of a res
pectable citizen-one of the sufferers.

The dark ages of medication draw to a
close. Two great specifics are superseding all the
stereotyped and hackneyed nostrums of the age.
DR.. MaggieFs Pills and Salve, by their extraor-
binary cures have opened the eyes of the public
to the neficiency of the (so-called) remedies up
on which they have so long blindly depended
MaggiePs Pills not of the class that are swal-
lowed by the dozen the score and of which
every box taken begets an absolute necessity for
another! One, at most two or three of Maggi-
els Pills. suffices place the bowels in good con-
dtion, tone the stomach, create an appetite, and
render the spirits light and buoyant.
There is no gripping and no reaction in the form
of constipation If the liver is affected, its func-
tons are restored and regulated. If the nervous
system is feeble it is invigorated. Ulcerous and
eruptive diseases literally extinguished by the
disinfectant power of MaggiePs Salve Invalids
who are wise enough to try these pure and pow
erful vegetable preparations will infallibly rec
ommend them, discarding as comparatively val
ueless every other Pill and Salve in existence
In fact it will be found that MAGGIEL'S BILIOUS,
DYsPEPTIC and DIARRHGA PILLS cure where
all others fail. While for Burns, Scalds, Chill
blains, Cuts, and all abrasions of the skim Mag
giers Salve is infallible.
