VIZ have already expressed our be-
lief that the flames OF var in Europe
we're covered for the moment but not
quenehed. Late adyiees show that the
promise Of the destruction of the Lux
emburg fortress is the only sacrifice
which has been made on either side to-
wards peace, while the. hostile armies,
particularly that Of Napoleon, still in
crease in spite of their already
alarming size. The correspondent Of
the Times writes that the directors of
the French Great Eastern Railway have
been commanded to keep trains ready
for the transport Of two armies to Cha
Ions and Metz towards the middle of
the month:

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Northern
Christian AatuOeate suggests FEW rules
which ministers ofalI denominations
would do well 70 follow. he says:
Never make an apology in the pull
pit; you viii lessen yourself by 50 do
ing. Don't make long iutrOduetIons to
your sermonB-a porttco shonld never
Be a. large as the house. Do not make
repeater Of yourself by repeating the
same thoughts In your firstly, secondly,
thirdly, Lastly, and In conclusion. Never
defend yourself In the pulpit against
any evil thing said Of you. You are set
for the defence Of the Gospel, and not of
your own reputation. Keep your ac-
count With God, and not with men, and
he VIII defend Jon. Don't preach long
sermons, for long sermons do no good,
Dut omen do harm. Every moment
you uetain your hearers AFTER they be-
come weary you damage them and
1 Yourselt also. But the length Of q seq
mon Is not always measured BY the.
time taken in Its delivery. A sermon
that has neither height. deptb. or
breadth, must necessarily be a IoT,s, one.
As long Is you can hold the iixeii At
tention OF your hearers, Il Will ~ - Il
70 go ON; but when You. can neitber
l gain nor retain such attention. eIoSs q
as soon as possible. Give youf hsar :
as many thoughts In as few woris ss

a Yokohama letter says the Japan

at the same timeextremely inquisitive.
They salute one pom the slightest pre-
text, by placing the hands upon the
knees, shutting half up like a well oiled

VIRGINIA. VS.. WEST v1RG1N1A.

It is no matter of qualification to US to in
form our readers, that the Supreme Court, in
isswisdom, has postponed its decision in refer
cnce to the matters at issue involving the ia
risdictioa OYER the two counties, Berkeley and
Jefferson. We regret this, because it leaves
us for the time to the tender mercies of the
unhallowcd crew of West Virginia officials,
who will gladly exercise their il!-gotten au-
thority over US; and will doubtless be mat
ter Of rejoicing with them that the day of
their power has thus been prolonged,
But it is not our purpose to question either
the wisdom or the honesty of TIE Court
Having submitted cur cause to its arbitration,
we shall make ourselves content with its final
decision, whatever it be-.

ELEcT1oN!-on Thursday next, Esd inst,
again recurs one of these semi-annual farces,
common to the great State of West Virginia,
the results of which generally are as disrep-
utable as the means for its accomplishment
are mereenary and base So far as We know
or care, the pretended election on Thursday
is for Township officers, each being entitled
to Supervisor, Justice, Constable, IHspec-
tors Of Elections, Township Clerk, Treasurer,
Overseer of the Poor, Road Surveyors, School
Commissioners. &c. Where all the loyal
are to come from to ell these Offices in cur
township, it is difficult to conceive, as only
about thirty in all have been registered, and
of these We learn the most intelligent and re-
spectacle have been stricken off. The same
has been the case as to other townships of the
county, and We doubt greatly whether one
name will be recorded among the motley
crew, unless he is an acknowledged or sus-
pected radical. Is it not enough to evoke
the scOrn and derisiou of all good men and
patriots, against the actors, aiders and abet-
tors in such nefarious work.

fHR RELEASE OF MR.. DAVIS,

The release Of Mr.. Davis has everywhere
been received with indications of favor, save
with few merciless radicals who thirst for
the blood Of every one not in entire accord
with them in their INSCRIPTIONS purposes of
destroying the Union, and who will not cease
their clamor until, Haman like, they have as
eeaLed the scafTold which their malisuity has
prepared for others.
The opinion seems TO be universal that this
release On bail is to terminate the troubles to
which Mr.. Davis has been subjected, and that
he will never be required to stand trial up
on the charges which produced his too eager
Indictment. There will probably be no in
Eruption to the enjoyment Of his freedom,
which he has been for two years deprived
Immediately after his release, Mr.. D. left
Gichmond, and proceeded to n. York, where
he was sojourning at last accounts. From
, thence it is expected he will journey to Cam
(ada, where his children are at school. Re-
ort says he will return from Canada with
IS children to his former home in Missis-
ppi, where ne will hereafter reside, and
here doubtless the good wishes and fervent
pyers of the people of the South will ac>
ipany him. The New York Nclrs in re-
serring to the conduct of the citizens of Rich
mOnd on the release of Mr.. Davis says:
In the general hum of >gratuiation which
has been excited by the liberation on bail of
Jefferson Davis, the becoming conduct ofth
people of Richmond on the occasion of his
discharge, deserves to be noted and publicly
approved. From the hour of his arrival in
the city till he took his departure in the
steamer for New York, there was no unseem-
Iy demonstration on the part of the citizens.
1t was natural that, as the carriage which
bore him to his hotel passed along the streets,
they should seek to catch glimpse of that
familiar face, unseen for two years and rem
dered Pailid by wearisome Imprisonment.
And the cheers that went up from the court
room, when 1t was announced that he was
tree to so where he would, may be regarded
as the understandable Outburst of a fclipn
long pent up, and at last finding vent in 10Y,
The consentaneous lifting of the hat among
the crowd as he passed out of the room. was
an act of homage as enforced as it was grace
fu!, and the shouts of the fifty or more ne.
goes who waited outside to greet his ap~
pearance, were doubtless as gratifying to MIR.
Davis as any other mark Of respect that was
bcstowed upon him.
Notwithstanding all this, the demeaaor of
the citizens was unexceptionable. No word
of insult was uttered concerning Underwood,
nothing like a public ovation was attempted
IN honor of the man whom they once so much
beloved as "Our President" The warm
grasp of the hand, the tear on the cheek Of
women, the abundant boquets laid upon the
table of the prisoners drawing-room-
spoke the emotion that was felt in the little
community which once knew him for its own,
and which will watch bis after life With pecu,
lar interest

pT The New York Tribune keeps Up its
fire on the Legislature of that State, for its
corruption and venaIity, of which it says the
proof has accumulated day by day. 1t adds ::
The atmosphere of the capital is redolent
of bargain and sale. "On one occasion. -
says a recent correspondent, " two railroad
interests came into open competition on the
Assembly floor on a motion to prefer one of
them "A most extraordinary scene eusued,
violent eonmotion was manifested, members
rushed wild about the chamber, the rival
squads OF lobbyneD occupied the rear benches,
and were constantly and rapidly sending com
munications to the members, votes were
changed continually as these messages were
received, and the party which was pretty well
known to have the longest purse carried the
day. It vas a standing joke about the hotels
that afternoon that there Was an auction on
the floor that morning It was Peter
Funk auction, of the meanest kind. and We do
do not doubt the extent of the sale but what
confession to make of the most impertant

SOMETHING SUBSTANTIALLY our wan
behring's around town we last week dropped
into the establishment of Miller & Smith,
where we found the most varied stock of
Stoves and Tinware upon which our eyes
have rested for long time. embracing arti-
cles of the most substantial and useful char
aeter. We felt real pride that our commu-
nifty could boast of such house, and can
but indulge the hope that it is receiving the
liberal encouragement which the enterprise
of its proprietors merit.

THE WINCHESTER TIMES.

The local of the above journal seems am
bilious of ritalizing his spiritless sheet by
controversy with the Spirit ofJefsrson We
cannot crafty him. y controversy conducted
upon the strict rules of common sense, we
should not object to, if there was any issue
joined but ifhe chooses to overtax his scrofu-
lous imagination. he must excuse US from
following him into the sickly chambers of the
demented, to unfold the swaddlinG clothes of
his consumptive offspring. We arc glad to
see that he has turned his attention to scrip
ture-ws hope it will make him wiser and
better. Its precepts ought to have mellcw-
ing tendency, aad if received in the proper
spirit arc we'll calculated to disrobe us of self
conceit. "f it be possible, as much as lieth
in you, live pcaceably with ali men, is Pauls
injunction. which we commend to this young
brother, and let him be assured that however
grievous may be the Christening, they are our
best friends who point out our faults, and tell
us plainly of them.

CONFEDERATE DEAD.-The present sea-
son is being observed throughout our South
ern towns and cities generally, as the most
fitting period for floral memorial to our
honorcd Confederate dead. The ladies of
Winchester are making needful preparations
for the recurring anniversary on the 9th of
June, and invoke the attendance of their sis
tiers in this work of love on the occasion
The anniversary of the Memorial Association
for this town, will not recur until the 9th
proxilno, and if an earlier day should not be
deemed more advisable, We hope will then
be appropriately remembered Let the Ladies
who so efficiently arranged the prcliminaries
of the last season take the matter in hand,
and its creditable success will result as a con-
sequence.
These memorial services-as is we'll said
by another-are not only beautiful and inn
pressive, but appropriate and becoming. 1t
is meet that at least once in year the friends
of these dead warriors should come together
and do honor to their memory, and that the
fair women of our land shall also come to
scatter floral embems of peace,
where glory guards with solemn round,
The bIvOuac Of the dead.''
although it was not their lot to live and
wear the victOr's wreath, still arc they none
the less heroes to those now living, for whom
they mostly, dauutlessly, unselfshly fought
and died. Their patriotism, at least, was
none the less genuine that they fell in lost
cause, and their hcroisrl Will never be ques-
toned, though the banner they espoused be
trailed in the dust, or furled about its own
shattered staff forever. Ger many of these
lowly mounds no monument rcars its tower
ing shaft, yet will the fresh spring flowers,
dropped upon their bie-s, prove a nobler tri-
butte to their worth and valiant service,
:By fairy hands their khcH is wrung,
BY forms unseen their dirge is sung;
There Honor comes, pilgrim gray,
To bless the turf that wraps their clay"

BARN BURNT.-The barn of Maj. JAMES
L. HOoFF, of this county, was accidentally
destroyed by FIRE on Wednesday morning last
The building itself was Of but little value,
but being used as a depository for the valua-
bic implements of the farm, the loss is froln
$1,000 to 81 200, as all save those in imme-
date use were consumed. The Major has
the sympathy of the community for 50 heavy
loss, in these times of such general de-
rangement with the farming class.

A FAMILY CIRCLE BRoxEN.-A we'll

was summoned about week ago to attend
the funeral of a beloved and lovely daughter,
who died after only few days illness at
hOardingschool in northern city. Hasten
ing North with his two remaining children,
in order that they might witness the inter
ment OF their sister, these two were attacked
with scarlet fever Immediately after their
arrival. Yesterday'the telegraph announced
that both the little girls were dead. Thus.
within ten days, Las an interesting family

AN AFFECTING INC1DENT-As the event
full day of Mr.. Dayis's release drew to a close,
and the shadows of evening deepened into
twilight, this gentleman aud his wife went
quietly away from their hotel without any
attendants, to visit the grave of their little
boy at the Hollywood Cemetery. They had
never seen the tombstone placed at the spot by
their young friends in this city during Mr..
Daviss imprisonment, and on their arrival
there, had yet to meet another evidence of
the same feeling of tender affection which
erected this monument. The children Of the
orphans Home" of ST. PauPs Church had.
at their own in stance, and with the permission
of their matron, gone forth in the morning
and decked the little grave with the fairest
and sweetest flowers of spring.-RicA. Dis.

New SToRE.-By reference to advertise

want or future necessity. He soIicits a call
from his friends and the public generally, as
he promises the best articles at the lowest
rates,
