A JUST REBuKE TO AN UpsrARr. Some
time since the Office of the Eagle newspaper
at Camden, Arkansas, was destroyed by SOL
diers led on by Major Pierce. Col. Gilbert,
commanding, wrote General Ord, in which
he said that censures of the press directed
against the servants of the people may be
endured, but Generals Ord and Neil's forces
were detailed to enable them to perform their
duties. They were not the servants of the
people of Arkansas, but rather their masters,
and he felt it to be great piece of impertl-
nence for newspapers in the State to comment
on Neil under any circumstances whatever.
Gen. Ord, in reply, says: Your letter Of
the 18th ult., in which your attempt to JUS
tify an act of party Of soldiers, who misled
by an officer, forcibly entered citizens
house and destroyed his property, is received.
You will please explain why this act was not
prevented by you as post commander, and if
the requirement of the 32d article Of war has
been complied with. Your assertion that
Gen. Neil's forces are not the servants Of the
people of Arkansas, but rather their masters,
is unjust, both to the people and Gen. Neil,
and unfounded in the laws, which are for the
benefit of the people. The assumption that
party Of soldiers can, at their option, forci-
bly, destroy citizens property, and commit
gross violation Of the public peace, would
not be tolerated under q Napoleon.

Many Of our readers having expressed a
desire to see the letter of Hon. Thaddeus
Stevens, in which he asserted that unless
the Constitution was considered as repudia-
ted the whole Reconstruction Legislation was
usurpation, we publish elsewhere the cores
pondence with Col. Schock. We only desire
to call attention to the last clause and ex-
plain that Senator Sherman is the econ
servative" Radical alluded to, who, uphold
ing Congressional Reconstruction, contends
that the acts are consistent with the Consti
tuition, while Mr.. Stevens says they are in
consistent with that instrument and that up-
on Mr. Sherman's theory it was legislation
scithout authority andreconstructs;on 6y usur-
patton. We believe Mr.. Stevens is right on
this point, and, as we never heard that Con-
gress, in terms. declared the Constitution to
be no longer inc existence, we heartily concur
with him that the whole work of Recon-
struction was gross usurpation of authori-
ty.

Richmond City voted on Monday last, on
the question of corporate subscription Of
100000 to the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail-
road and twas decided by an overwhelming
majority in favor of the subscription. This
is the first gun in Virginia, in response to
the call of West Virginia for the completion
of this great artery, which is to tap the fer
tile praries of the great West and carry their
trade and travel to the Atlantic coast through
our borders, which now seeks it's outlet by
circuitous routes. In addition it will open
UP one Of the finest mining sections in this
country and throw it's riches into the lap of
Virginia, SO long deprived Of them by their
inaccesibility. Then will our Manufacturing
interests take vigorous forward step and
our agricultural interest be enhanced cor
respondingiy. Then will we see the influx of
sturdy laboring class 50 much desired at
present, and the increase of Virginia.
wealth and prosperity will put to shame that
Of her sisters in the past. Richmond has
acted noblv in this matter and it now re-
mains for the counties along the line to keep
the ball in motion and make Virginia what
she should have been long years ago, but
for an inert old fogyism which possessed her.
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1867-09-20

There is nothing more cheering to us
than the notices of the division and sale of
lands, in every portion Of Virginia, to North
ern men of capital and enterprise and of good
reputation at home, who propose to come
and live among us. In the past few months
we scarcely pick up an exchange that does
not chronicle the sale of lands &c. to some
worthy Northern gentleman. We may
therefore conclude that prejudice and pas
sion have chad their day. in circulating
base rumors Of bad treatment to Northern
immigrants, and that this tide of immigra-
ton, SO long restrained by idle stories and
otherwise, has turned in this direction. We
trust that it has and would desire to impress
upon the people of that section to investi-
gate the advantages Virginia offers, far out
reaching those of newer States, and assure
them that worthy immigrants will meet with
kind reception at the hands of all Virgin
ians. We want such men among us to help
us by their energy and capital to develop
the resources of our State and will welcome
and treat them as neighbors and friends.

SENSIBLE IF TRUE.-The New York Post
reports Gen. Grant to have said. That che
would not be President of the United States
if the opportunity we're offered; that he was
no politician that he hated politics; that,
so far as reputation and honor were concern
ed, he thought he ought to be satisfied with
what Of these he already enjoyed; that hold
ing the Office of President would mar his
present comfort and drag him into the
storms and excitements Of politics; that as
the General of the army he had all the work
he could do, and time enough to enjoy the
comforts Of his family and home; and that
he, as soldier, had gained friends enough
in the country without now seeking a place
where he should gain no more, but probably
lose those whom he had gained"

FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1867.

We publish in another column the order
Of Gen. Scho6eld naming Tuesday October
2snd as the day on which the registered vo-
ters of this State shall decide upon the ques-
ton of Contention or No Contention as
prescribed in the Military Reconstruction
bill. 1t will be observed that Auguata loses
one Delegate in the new apportionment and
the Valley fifteen out Of thify-t7ree, being
now allowed only eighteen. Whether this
immense loss is due to the failure of our
people to register, or the increase of voters
east of the Ridge, by the enfranchisement Of
the colored people, we are unable to say, but
if the former, there is still an opportunity
for them to register and vote at the coming
election and tie counted in the apportionment
of representation. The Boards Of Regis
tration will convene fourteen days before the
election and remain in session five days,
when all who have not registered, should,
without fail, do so if not prohibited. To
those, who have been excluded heretofore
and to whom the Proclamation of Amnesty
is applicable, we would say present your
selves also for registration. 1t is asserted
that the President and Cabinet are unani-
nous in the opinion that the Amnesty Proc
lamation works your Northumberland, as
it was intended. If you are refused the
privilege Of registration have the matter re-
ferred to Gen. Schofeld for his decision. In
number Of instances he has decided that
parties must be registered who had been re-
fused, who, without having referred the mat
ter to headquarters, would still be disfran-
chised We therefore urge it upon you to
do likewise.
