FALLEN FROM VIRTUE"

In the House of Representatives, on We'd
ncsday last, Butler, the notorious and aban>
doncd creature who luxuriatcs in the con-
tempt and dctestatiOn of the civilized world
and whose existence is continual reminder
Of human dePravity, rose to a privileged qucs-
ton, and made some irrelevant allegations in
regard to Union prisoners. (Thc grcatest
misfortune of the recent war was that said
Butler never placed himself in n position
where there was the slightest probability of
his being made prisoner.) The allegations
referred to, led to a colloquy, in which Bald
win, 4 colleague of Butler, asked Mr. FL
bridge of Wisconsin, whether he expected
the House to take Col. Guilds statements
against the testimony and statements of I'm
ion officers. Mr.. Eldridge, in reply to this
question, said he believed General Butler
himself would not deny that Col. Ould was
an honorable and conscientious man. Butler
then remarked that before the war he had
thought Colonel Ould highly conscientious
and honorable man. but when man commit
ted treason lie was ready. like woman fallen
from virtue, for any crime, and from that hour
no one knew where to find him.
With the author of the above sentence,
there has never been any falling from virtue.
lie was born beast, was reared beast. has
continued to live beast, and the chances GER
tainly are least ten to one, that he will die
beast. The difference between him and
Col Ould is wide and manifest. There need
never be any difficulty in knowing where to
find Butler. He will ever he found where
infamy and indecency predominates where
vice holds her highest carnival: where in
EQUITY abOunds without resistance; where i'm
morality holds her favorite court; where IL
centiousncss stalks openly, and spoons" are
in greatest abundance.

RELIGIoUs.-By a singular coincidence
the pulpits of our Methodist and Presbvte.
rian Churches were filed, on Sabbath last
by the Rev. Messrs. Baird, the former. Pre-
siding Elder, Of the Winchester Circuit, and
the latter, Agent of the Va. Bible. Society
and brother Of the editor of the .Suadov
School Journal, of Richmond. Their min
istrations were most acceptable, and large and
appreeiative audiences were present. Sacra-
ment was administered in each of the church.
es, and the most respectful and earnest inter-
est manifested throughout. The attendance
of the country people at the Episcopal Church
was larger than we have noticed during the
summer, and the efficient labors of its pastor.
the Rev. Mr.. Meade, morning and night, are
being duly appreciated by the community.
and viii no doubt in due season bring forth its
reward. The Valley convocation Of this
Church was held in Shepherdstown last week.
and we learn that its proceedings were of
much solemnity and deep interest TO the
Church. We are also informed that Rev. Mr.
Shepherd, Baptist minister, preached on Sab
bath morning, at Zoar, to house filed to
overlooking, there being number of persons
who were obliged to remain outside.

DURHAMs.-The prices of these cattle
have increased considerably within the last
year. James Hall, of this county. sold a
COW and calf the other day to Messrs. Bass
of Missouri, for $500; John Cupningbam
sold to the same bull and heifer for $500
aud Major Jerry Duncan sold them two beiE.
ers for 500. Colonel N. E. Sipgleton. of
Missouri, bought two sucking heiFer calves
of William Warfeld for $500: he also rrr.
chased fine bull of Major Duncan. Col
II. n. Alexander has recently sold two heif.
ers, a twO-year old for $500, and a ten months
old for $3.50; also bull calf ten months old
for $3.50. Mr.. Edwin Bradford bought in
New York last week a splendid bull. for
which he paid S5,000.-Paris True Eentack-

I'VE have, as may be seen by ADVERTISE
ment, in the vicinity of our own town,
Durhams not inferior in quality or blood, to
those whose sales are noted above. The stock
of Mr.. James NJ. Ransom is as thoroughbred
as any in the State of Kentucky, and may
be had at much lower figures than those quo
ted. Our farmers should avail themselves of
the opportunity to improve their stock. A

LOCAL MISCELLANY.

IMPRoVEMENTs.-Amid the entire want
of sympathy or feeling of our people in the
political status of our county, it is gratifying
to observe the steady progress of material inn
PrOvement being manifested. Our farming
community were never SO energetic and la
bOriOus in repairing the desOlations commit
ted on their homes, or developing, with the
favor of Providence, the utmost yield of the
fruits of the earth, which skillful labor and
persevcring effort can effect. Labor of all
kinds finds ready aud remunerative demand,
and all things considered, we may congratu-
late our people that we have once again the
busy hum of industry, instead of the clank of
arms and the bloody footprints of an invad-
ing host. Our rich harvest being gathered
and labor in the town more at command, we
have noticed the progress of several substau-
tial improvements in our midst during tue
last week or two. The foundation of quite an
extensive ediice is nearly completed by DR..
l.. G. COrdell, on the lot recently purchased
by him, cross-corner from the Presbyterian
Church. The excellent taste of the DR.. in
the matter of building, gives assurance of an
improvement that will be an ornament to the
portion OF the town in which it is situated.
and a credit to the skill and industry of its
constructors. The fine brick building of DR..
LiPpitt, near the residence of Il. I. Brown,
Esq, is being rapidly pushed to completion.
and will soon be ready for the roof. The
brick work has been executed by Mr.. George
ArmentrOut, of Page county, and the Carpen-
ter work is under the direction of Mr.. T. K.
Starry. Mr.. S. has also under way an ad-
dition to our already spacious Depot, which
when completed, will give additional facilities
Tor the storage and transportation of commoi-
tiles from this point. The extensive recon.
structiOn made necessary to Dr. NusOn's house
By fire, is now so nearly completed. as to only
need the painters brush to make il better than
new. The Dr. has designed some alterations
aud improVementin the interior plan Of the
former house, which add greatly to its general
arrangement and convenience andthe uuiver-
sal wish of the community is, that he and his
estimable family may long live to enjoy its
shelter and comfort The Board of School
Commissioners for this township, have con-
tractcd with Mr.. VIM. p. Henson for the re.
pair Of the School House in District No. 90.
to be completed by first of September. We
also learn that School House for the colored
people is to be erected this fall on the same
lot on which their contemplated church is to
be situated. Other improvements. we learn.
are being suggested, which we shall take
pleasure hereafter in noticing, as they pro-

RADICAL EETEAvAGANCE.

The unstinted extravaganza of the radical
Congress is exciting the alarm and awaking
the aPprehensions of many of the adhcren,s
of the party in the Northern States. Greeley
does not know what Congress means BY its
action "unless it is to eternizc, if not abso-
lutely repudiate, the public debt"
The New York Commercial, republican
journal, follows this up by intimating that
the measures persisted in by the rump Com
gress will bankrupt the government and the
country. The government, or the Legislative
portion at least, is already bankrupt in prin-
ciple, and there is little doubt that it will be
in purse, if the dominant party is much long
er continued in power
