In the spring of 1858 most severely aifc'
ted with hard, dry cough, with its usual accom-
pauiments of night sweats, completely prostrating
my nervous system, and producing such debillta
ted state of health that after trying medical aid to
no purpose, had given up all hopes Of ever recov

matters / was prevailed upon through the influence
of n neighbor to try Wistars Balsam of Wild Cher
ry, and, before using two bottles, the effect was al
most magical My cough entirely left me, the nigh
| sweats deserted me, hope once more clated my dc
pressed spirits, and soon had attained my wontoC

often been remarked by persons conversant will
the above facts, literally snatched me from tn

The important Question.

Did it ever strike the negroes that the
important question to them was "can we
live here, when skilled white labor comes
in to compete with us y Its thesall i'm
portant, for just so sure as day follows
night, the tide Of white immigration will
follow the track made by the armies Of
free labor, in the South. They will com
pete with the negro at every turn, and it
will require more energy and intellect than
he now possesses to live with this compe-
tition, harassing and pushing him to the
wall. The colored people had, and may
still have, one chance to live here, and
they should have clung to it as the para
site to the oak-uig, the prejudices and
habits of working Of the Southern people,
But it seems they have determined to
throw this chance away and go, as a body,
with the enemies Of their. only friends, -
While We regret this determination on
their part, we can only point them the
dangers ahead and bid the white people be
Of good cheer, for this important ques-
tier" is certain to be settled in cur favor,
by immigration, in a very short time. It
is for the negro to say whether he will
share our great future Or so to the wall
We must submit to the inevitable.

MANASSAS, June 10, 1857.
The Ladies' Memorial Association of
Manassas, appeal to you to aid them in
collecting and suitably intcrring the re-
mains Of tie gallant men who fell fighting,
gloriously, for you and yours, on this ever
memorable field. The victories gained
have sent thrill Of joy through every
Southern heart and home, but, still, the
bones Of those who gave their lives to gain
them, lie uncarcd for and unnoticed. Our
immediate section of country was so deyas-
tatcd by the war, that VIC are not able,
unaided, to perform the work before US
A site has been donated for the Manassas
Cemetery, and here we propose to gather
together the remains of all who fell in this
region We ask every one who lost friend
here, not only to render us all the aid pos
sible, but to communicate with the Presi-
dent Of the Association, and give all the
information they can, about where their
friends arc buried, their Brigades, Regi-
ments, Companies, &c. We do not deem
it necessary to make a stirring or eloquent
appeal to the friends of the brave boys
whose bones now whiten the "Plains of
Manassas" The fact thatthousands, from
every State and County in the South, fell
here, should be enough to make every one
give his mite in aid of SO noble a work, on
so proud a field.
For the Association,
Mrs. SARAH e. JEWELL,
PRESIDENT.

TheTrade of the Shenandoah Valley. 4
BALTIMORE, June lst 1867, &
Mess7's Et1itors-T Through the columns
of your valuable paper | desire to call
the attention of the business portion Of
our city to the Importance of immediate
steps towards the construction of a rail
road through the great Shenandoah Val
ley Of Virginia. Having recently visited
this section Of our neighboring State,
whore l had frequent opportunities ofcon-
versing with the leading and most infu-
ontial citizens of that section, | am pre-
pared to state that it requires only a lit
tic energy and capital on the part Of our
city to speedily inaugurate grand en-
terprise, the Importance Of which is a
sure guarantee of its success }. Let the
citizens Of our city study their interest tin
this connection for enc moment, and they
can but see the Importance of imme-
diate action in the premises, a rich
prosperous country asks the citizens OF
our city for facilities to throw into their
market the products of soil unsurpassed
for richness. VIII Baltimore trespond
to their appeals, and grasp while it is yet
time the wealth of this section? or will
she remain inactive, and permit the Val
ley to find an outlet to Richmond and other
cities, remote from US? I believe that she
will adopt the former proposition, and if
so, the first great link in the chain should
be forged at once, and that link all will
eonoede to be the construction Of a rail
road between the towns Of Winchester
and Stra sburg-a distance Of only eight
cen miles. This would prove the enter
ing wedge, giving to this city at once the
control of the road The next link would
soon be formed, which would connect
Strasburg with Harrisonburga dis
tance of forty three miles. Between these
points there is a railroad, which only re-
quires rolling stock and few repairs to
be put in immediate operation. The con
struction Of a railroad to. Harrisonburg
would so enrich the people Of the Valley
as to enable them to push the road to Sa-
lem. We would then have the entire
control Of the trade Of this vast section.
It will require but paratively small
amount to identify us at once with this
great people. Let us subscribe it at once,
and provide the means to build eighteen
miles of road, which will as ] before sta
ted, give us the controlling power We
cannot expect a people deprived Of ready
means by the operations Of the late strug-
gle to do this work without assistance
Let us then step forward and do it with
out their aid, and magnanimously say to
them that we ask no assistance from q
people whose heart is in the enterprise,
but whose means have been expended
through the agency Of our late struggle.

OF. A VALUABLE MERCHANT MILL AMI

Z
FIFTY ACRES OF LAND.
In obedience to decree of the Circuit
Court of Augusta county, rendered on the
18th day of June, 1867, in the case Of Muck
oils VS. DR.. Taliafcrro Reynolds administra-
tor and heirs, the undersigned, who have been
appointed Commissioners to make sale of the
real estate of which T. Rennolds died siezcd,
will offer for sale, on the premises, on the
23h OF J1'ly nert, at II o'clock,
THE LARGE MERCHANT MILL,
and about Fifty Acres ofLand adjacent there
to, known as "Trinity Point" which belong
ed to the late DR.. T. Rennolds.
This property is situated on Middle River,
in Augusta county. The Mill is large and
commodious, with two pairs of burrs, and one
set of choppers. The dam is a permanent one,
built in the best manner, of very large stone
The water power is ample for extensive ma
chinery. The Mill is located in fine Wheat
and Corn region, and is in good condition.
There is q comfortable NIllers House on
the premises, all necessary out-buildings
The land is strong limestone, and quite pro-
ductiye.
This property is very desirable, and, with
good management, would yield large per
cent. on its cost. The grinding of the album
dant growing crops of Wheat and Corn of the
immediate neighborhood, would ofitsself, be
source Of large profit to the purchaser.
The terms of sale prescribed by the decree
arc Costs of sale and suit in hand, and the
residue in three equal annual payments, with
interest from date. But leave is given to the
Commissioners, with the assent Of the heirs,
to modify the terms Of SALE

LETTER FROM GENERAL LONG
STREET.


The New Orleans papers bring us a
letterof General I4ongstrect The letter is
addressed to J. III. G. Parker, of New
Orleans Iu it the General says:
I shall be happy to work in any harness
that promises relief to our distressed pco-
pie, and harmony to the nation it mat
ters not whether | bear the mantle of Mr.
Davis or the mantle of Mr.. Sumner, so
that may help to bring the glory Of
peace and goodwill toward men,
The sword has decided in favor of the
North, and what they claimed as princi-
pies cease to be principles, and are be-
come law The views that we hold cease
to be principles because they are opposed
to law. It is, therefore, our duty to ADAM
don ideas that are obsolete and conform
to the requirements Of law.
The military bill and amendments are
peace offerings We should accept them
as such, and place ourselves upon them as
the starting point from which to meet fu-
ture political issues as they arise.
Like other Southern men, [ naturally
sought alliance with the Democratic party,
merely because it was opposed to, the Re.
publican party. But, as far, as l can
judge, there is nothing tangible about it,
except the issues that were staked upon
the war and there lost. Finding nothing
to take hold Of except prejudice, which
cannot be worked into goodfor any one, it
is proper and right that [ should seek
some stand point from which good may be
done.
IF appreciate the principles Of the
Democratic party, its prominent features
oppose the enfranchiscment Of the color
ed man, and deny the right tolcgislateupon
the subject Of suffrage, except by the
States, Individually. is
These two features have tendency to
exclude Southern men from that party !;
for the colored man is already enfranchis-
ed here, and we cannot seek alliance with
a party that would restrict his rights. The
exclusive right Of the States to lcgislate
upon suffrage will make the enfranchise-
meat Of the blacks, whether for better or
for worse, a fixture amongst us. It APP
pears, therefore, that those who cry loud
est against this new order Of things as a
public calamity, are those whose princi-
pies would fix it upon us without.a rene
dy. Hence it becomes us to insist that
suffrage should be extended in all of the
States, and fully tested The people Of
the North should adopt what they have
forced upon us and if it beproved to be
a mistake, they should remove it by the
remedy under republican principles Of
uniform laws upon suffrage. 4's

A Conference Suggested.

The. Charlottesville Chronicle, of the
2oth,inhas article ably discussing the pros
.pect before u.s. In conclusion it suggests
a Conferences all patriots on the 25th
day of July, at Richmond. If the earn
est, practical mon of the State will at
tend we think the idea a good one It
says: u gs ~
eve shrcwdly suspect that tho Rich
smond Examiner (and We think that we
recognize the hand of#the writer) has:
found the key that will let us out of this
labyrinth We mast aanh. with that
portion Of the Republican party which
enlightened and humane gentlemen like
the editor Of the New York Times rep
rcscnts, the South can shake hands at no
distant day, and build up a great conscr7
vative party upon the ruins Of dead par
ties" Again the Examiner says: CHOW
that old parties are dead, we can well i'm
aginc contingencies in the future in which
a restored South would support men like
Grant, Seward, Raymond, and even Gree
Icy, to defeat J9cobins like Butler, Wade
and Stevens
All parties arc dead in the country but
one-the Republican Party. Its flag
floats on every fortress and from. every
mast, We can have our fayoritcs in such
a party. We can choose between the
two wings Of this party. Thus far all is
PLAIN. a
A difficult question remains shall we
merely cote with these conservatives
shall we adopt their nane?. How would
it do to have two parties in Virginia the
Conservative Republicans and the Radi-
cal Republicans? The former composed
Of Democrat, Wing, Unionist, white and
colored: Ct Barbour, Randolph, VIM. G.
Rivcs, Nicholas Richmond; of Millson,
Wise, McBarlaed, Fairfax Taylor.
We are turning over these questions =
not expressing conclusions. There is
need Of conference between the pratriots
Of the State. We hope the press will be
temperate. We are all agreed in the o.
;ect: VIC have all the welfare of the State
at heart. Let us act in friendly spirit
towards each other, and tEiscuss with frank
ness. The past is dead: the future is.
threatening. ~
We suggest in conclusion that an IN
formal Conference assemble on the 25th
day of July in Richmond for the purpose
Of comparing views, and issuing an ad
dress to the people of Virginia,

In Virginia, if the white men of the
State are true to themselves, their wives and
children and the honor Of their race, the
military bill does not necessarily doom US
to political helotry. Our safety and the
security of unborn generations can be Sc
cured only through the narrow defle of
general registration. Promptly, with en-
ergy, and with ccaseless vigilance which
will send every white man to the polls,
wemust "acceptthe situation" in Virginia.
Prosperity, security to life and property,
the continual dominancy Of the Caucasian
race, all depend upon our doing quickly
and thoroughly the work before us. We
must kick from our path the bones Of
old parties, old prejudices, and all false
ideas of dignity, and work to secure all
that we can from the wreck and debris Of
what the civil war has left us.-South-
e17a Opinion. se
