Registering and Voting.

The unanimous opinion now is that our
people should all register their names who
can, and participate in the work of recon.
struction to the full extent allowed by the
law. Mr.. BALDWIN, Speaker Of the HOUSE
of Delegates, in his valedictory address Oh
Monday, gave this good advice. lie urgeo
all who were entitled to register 10 90 so
and 70 advise all others to follow their ex-
annie, so that they might be prepared at
the proper time to participate in the man
ner that circumstances might suggest.
This is very well, and no man we have
heard of stops short of this. But we would
20 farther and we regard it the duty OF
all to 90 farther. Voters should not only
register. but they should vote for men who
will 20 to the constitutional convention
pledged to frame a constitution precisely
in conformity with the reconstruction acts
of Congress. To all who will. properly
consider the circumstances in which we
arc placed, there is no prospect whatever
Of avoiding this mode of restoring the
State to the Union. If we may suppose
it possible that Virginia can, with all the
lights before her, refuse to so conform,
why, who does not know that Congress
which will keep vigilant watch upon the
South-will Immediately authorize the
"loyalists" TO reconstruct the State and
take her into the Union with the great
BODY of the whites DISTINGUISHED So
that by this course, so far from avoiding
the congressional plan, that would only be
DELAYED, to be brought back upon us with
increased severity and hardship.
So that il is the duty of Us all to move
straight on in the line of reconstruction
marked ont for us. Let all remember that
in the Union we must stay-that the Uni
ted States is our country-and that the
more united, the more equal the States,
the more harmony and security there is
the better for us all. Therefore every
man should give all the influence he has,
and all of his own eXcrtion, to the work OF
reconstruction upon the terms rendered,
or rather cxacted, in the speedleSt and
most complete manner, whatever the Sacrl-
flee we have to make. After that, why
the way is clear. Place the State in the
Union upon terms of equality with the
northern States, and there is the end OF
the revolution and the beginning of resto-
ration-the restoration Of prosperity, OF
productive labor in all its forms, of enter
prise, of trade, and the successful pursuit
Of all the vacations of men. The land will
soon smile with peace and plenty.
With duty so plain, under an irresiSti-
bic authority, the performance of which is
to produce such results, we cannot see
how any man can hesitate to discharge 1t
promptly and earnestly.

pronounces It superior to any ne ever saw
in France " for purity, fpeness, and clear
ness" II will answer for the manufacture
of plate glass.
Mr.. CoLNE advises the establishment OF
glass manufactures in Richmond and
Lynchburg, which could he supplied with
this superior sand very conveniently by
the canal. The amount of this excellent
material that is deposited near the Balcony
Falls, in Rockbridge, is very large-almost
inexhaustible. 1t has been recently worked
in the interest of a New York company
Int Il would be reflection upon the enter
prise of our people if they, with all the
advantage of water power, fuel, and con-
tiguity to the source of supply, should al
low the sand to be conveyed away hun
dreds of miles from the State, there to be
manufactured, to afford there occupation
for men, and there to yield the handsome
profits of the process to capitalists. This
would be discreditable, indeed; and we
hope that when times grow better, proper
steps will be taken to prevent such an I'M
parchment of our enterprise and sagacity

The European War Rumors


The SPECTATORS in gold have had quite
an animated time with the European war
rumors. They were very active last week.
Gold huctuated from 49, to l42, winding
up on Saturday night at 1861 3. The cable
has been an efficient agent of the specula-
tors, and has conveyed some intelligence
that was not sustained by the facts. The
gold gamblers seem not to relish the giving
Of it up, and the telegram Of yesterday
looks very like they had not. 1t is an
nounced with the best of Geographic gra-
witty that King WILLIAM, of Prussia, had
not said a word on the subject Of LuXem-
bourg, and that this had been the occasion
ofuncasineSs in Paris OF course there will
h. uneaSiness in New York The silence
of the Prussian King is terribly alarming.
There will be no war now. The re-
ference of the matter in dispute to the
Congress of Nations in London settles it.
This shows that the absolute control OF
Luxembourg is not the ultimatum OF either
Guilty appears Of easy solution.
The question from the beginning VIC
suspect, has been made to wear lnucn
more alarming aspect than facts warrahleo'
The recent cable rumor of most insult
ing note from BISMARCK to NAPOLEON Is
strong proof of this. No such note was
eyer written but the false rumor was as
useful to spectators as though IL were
true.
We observe that in the basis laid down
49, elaboration of the Conference the
first proposition is that france Is not &c
on1or,e her present boundaries" This
would appear to be a proposition outside
of tho immediate question of Luxembourg
,,;u hardly command the assent Of
France. A pledge against extension, with
reference to the territory in dispute, would
no doubt be given by France; Prussia, a,
the same time, relinquishirg her claims
and the independence of Luxembourg
being guaranteed by the friendly Powers
but we do not suppose France will enter
into any general pledge against the exten.
sion of her boundaries in all directions
That would be rather humiliating.
Luxembourg ought, in fact, to be attached
to Belgium. 1t is separted by distance
of thirty-six miles from Holland, to which
it belonged. Added to France, it would
resemble an excrescence stuck on to the
northeastern angle of the boundary of that
kingdom; but given to Belgium, it would
finish off the line Of that kingdom and give
it a much better shape and proportion.
Luxembourg, too, would be quite homoge-
neous with Belgium. In language, reli-
gion, taste and habits, the Luxembourgers
would exactly suit the Belgians, and it
would be eminently fitting that they should
become one nation. But the great ma
hons-the beasts of prey among nations
don't think of throwing a morsel to the
less powerful amongst the family of ma
tions. So that, rather than adopt course
indicated by practical wisdom and Justice,
they propose to place the little State of
Luxembourg in the anomalous condition of
enjoying separate existence that copld
only be maintained by the guaranteed nro
lection OF the Powers who ara nart;es -
the settlement.
