Aim of the Radical Party.

The negro is our labor. If the fanatics will
only cease their baleful interference. capital
and labor in the South willregulate its relations,
as in every other country The former master
feels an interest in his former slave and depend
ent-the recent slave cannot but help looking
up to his former owner, who for many. years
past treated him in the great majority OF cases
with kindness, and furnished him with all that
most men labor for, his food and his clothes
The negroes if left to themselves, have no un-
kind feelings to the whites, and by mutual de-
tendency, the most friendly relations could soon
be established on permanent footing, and their
sentiments would soon be in unison and sympa-
thy with our own.
It is this that the Radicals fear They do not
wish any union between the whites and blacks
of the South. 1t is their aim to sow discord be-
tween the two races and keep them apart
One would naturally infer from their course
and their speeches, that were negro lnsurrec-
ton to spring up in the Southern States they
would not only rejoice, but if in their power
aid it. In Virginia no such outbreak could
ever occur; in the first place, because Of the
superior intelligence Of our negroes and IN the
second, from their infcriority to the whites IN
| numbers; but along the coast of North Carolina,
| in South Carolina and Southern Georgia, the
| Radicals and their emissaries are permitted to
carry out their plans they must eventually bring
about a conflict of races.
We are we'll aware that the great mass Of the
rank and file of the Republican party at the
North would shrink with horror if they could
look into futurity and see the natural result OF
the acts and teachings of their leaders, and that
they apprehend no such fruit but we . tell them
it will come as certainly as the sun will rise to-
morrow if the Radical plans are carried out,
and further more, that their leaders are anxious
| to bring 1t about -iCack. Times,

A suit of clothes to buy,
But when wakened up again
1 found I'd dreamed a he.
For there, to my expectant gaze,
My seedy garments still appear;
In injured innocence" display
The sequence of a gay New YearP'
Ny trowsers" have gone on bust
Especially about the knees
Which with the utmost GOODNESS, say,
You may darn" me if you please
Asking why their covering is so scanty,
When shin plasters are so plenty?
NY elbows, too, have grown so stout,
They're always liable to be out'
My pants are real secessionists;
For they We seeded from my vest
The space between, in spite of fate,
Insists on forming q aaea0 State.
And since good names are rather scant
I've called the state the STATE OF WANT.
For all the force of Abrams might
Could never make them re-unite,
Since if they'd meet in the old place,
They'd split a dozen more for spite.
And SO to have my dream come true,
To Mandelbaums I went
And got splendid suit of clothes
For little money spent;
w ent stralghtWay home, and said to Sue,
Behold your darling John! p
"Tll Jaw(nl you, sir" she says, and so
She really did, I'll swear,
As and another three legged stool
Went sprawling on the stair.
The children hid. She screamed aloud
But when she heard me groan,
She came to see me-woman like
And found / was her John
She took me up and my sore head
Unto her bosom pressed;
But half believed me some one else,
Until avas addressed
Now, am right side up with care"

Whoever wants good clothes and cheap,

But lest your pride should get fall,
Before to buy you go,
If you've a wife as true as mine,
You'd better let her know.

The New York Times takes a gloomy view
of the prospects of business in the West and
South, and argues that the attempt to pay of
a portion of the national debt should be post
poned until trade and industry revive, and
to secure this, the burdens Of the people should
be lightened. This view is so sensible and just
that we are surprised it needs to be enforced on
Congress.

u j Or LAM.
In obedience to a decree of the Circuit Court
of Augusta entered on the 9th day of December,
1866. on the petition of Susan Brannaman in the
case of Michael Coiners executors Us: Michael
Coiners widow and heirs, will offer for sale, at
public auction in front of the store of MIR. Philip
Schumacher at Fishersville Depot, at II o'clock,
on Friday, the 18th day Of January, 1867, (if the
weather be suitable)
THE TWO TRACTS OF LAND
in said decree mentioned
THE FABER TRACT contains 102 acres, on
which there is a small tenement, and permanent
spring, and sufficiency of timber.
The HUFFMIRE TRACT contains 100 acres,
of which only about 80 acres are cleared. The
growth of timber, of the best quality, for barrel
slaves, rails, and firewood. There are no build
ings on this tract
The Huffmire tract lies Immediately East of,
and within half mile from Fishersville Depot,
and still nearer to the imekilns of Messrs. Brown
& Lara.
The woodland extends to within 100 yards of
the Central Railroad, and lies between the Rail
road and the Turnpike leading from Staunton to
Waynesborough. The Faber tract is adjacent or
very near to the Huffmire tract.
The fine body of timber on the Huffmire tract
renders it peculiarly valuable. Judcious farm
believe that it would yield from so to Is cords
of wood per acre, in addition to the barrel staves
and as the railroad and the lme-kilns would fur
nish ready cash market for all that could be
cut, an enterprising man could easily make the
payments and realize large amount OF money
from the timber.
The Faber tract is well adapted to farming pur
poses and from its exposure and contiguity to the
depot, is particularly well suited for fruit farm
The terms of sale will be: enough in hand to
cover the costs of SALE and one-fourth of the res
idue on Goth of September 1867, and the remain
der in three equal annual payments thereafter,
with interest from date. The deferred install
