Coming to their Senses.

1t is not long since the Virginias drove
white men from among them who did not
conincde with them, on the question Of
slavery. Now, however, that slavery has
been abolihed and the negroes have carried
the late election in the old Dominion the
whites there are calling on their fellow
whites to come to come forward and save
them from the black avalanche that they say
promises to crush them. Hear how their
journals talk. The Richmond Wing says
eve should welcome with out stretched
arms every white man who CONES amongst
us, and treat him as a neighbor, a friend
and brother The resentment between
the Northerners and the Southerners must
be buried, and when the former come to
reside among US we must deal with them
as if they were our own people. The ne
eroes have chosen to draw the line between
the two races, and we must hail every Whlte
man mot of the Hunnicutt stamp as TREND
and brother.
The Lynchburg Virgnian says;
HIt only remains for the white people OF
Virginia to look to their interest and labor
to protect it. They should concert measures
without delay to fill the State with white
laborers from the North and from Europe
7hey must crolcd the negro out. Ihey must
rid the State Of an element that viii hinder
its prosperity; an element thnt Will nihuer
its nrnsneritv an element that, under the
influence of base white demagogues-them-
selves without property-would tax the prop
errtv ef others to relieve themselves of obli-
pation to educate their children and care
for their paupers. There is no other alter
native left US. and we wish to see this accep-
ted at once. Let us be up and doing. Let
us bestir ourselves to make Virginia what it
Gu ,ht to b, and would be with white labor
LET ms have a white homogeneous population
and make our State fit place for white
man to live in. We can do it and should do
it. and then the irrepressible conflict will
cease

The GREAT EAsTERN.-There is a Wild
leoend in connection with the Great Eastern
steamship, the origin of which do not know,
but the shipwrights firmly believe in it. So
much has been written about the construction
of this famous vessel, that the slightest allu-
sion to it here will suffice. She is a ship of
two cases, or skins, as they are called that
is. she is almost like one ship fitted inside OF
another. Between the inner and the outer
skins the workmen can crawl for REPAIRS
Dreadfully dark and sepulchral, OF course,
1T is in there, for, from the nature of the
space, the workman must be completely
closed in, excepting at the spot which be
enters. Very few smiths or shipwrights
you'd care to work in here alone, for two
terrible spectres are supposed to haunt this
place. Almost all the men who were en-
gagged in the construction of the vessel believe
that. somewhere there in the darkness and
thick air, lie two skeletons which can never
DO found till the vessel is broken up. Thnse
are the remains of smith and his riveter,
the latter being lad. During the construc-
ton of the vessel these two worked all thro'
the week, keeping full time, and their work
Law in between the skins. The smith was
an elderly man, of a moody temper. who
made no friends, and was not popular with
his mates. No one had seen him leaving
work nobody was interested about him.
But one pay day both he and his lad failed
to appear at the pay table to draw their
money. They never were heard of any more
bv any one who worked on the Great East
ern. Of couse their absence was noticed by
the time keeper and other officials; but the
missing men being, as l have said, unpop
ular with their comrades, there had been
very lttle inquiry about them until it was
found their money was not claimed. 1t was
then soon noted that the last time they had
been seen they were at work in the - case"
of the ship, and before long it became a fixed
notion that by fall, or by the effect of some
vapor, the two men had been killed, or stun
ned until closed in, and all the host of men
who worked at the great ship believed that
somewhere in the vast hulk there lay two
skeletons, which, for some reason, could
never be found the prosiac idea that the
old fellow aud bis helper had left without
warning, for a better job, finding of course,
no favor.

As AN ORIGINAL expression of heavy grief,
we doubt if any more touching has been
read than the following, of crushed heart
in Star City, Nevada. Mrs. E, of that
place, an eccentric old lady, recently rushed
into the room of relative, and without
waiting for the usual salutations, said
Well John. dead (Her husband J
Dead Is it possible?' Yes; dead =
Died last night! Want you all to come to
come to the funeral The Masons and Odd
Fellows are going to turn out, and we shall
have q beautiful time Deaths are Of rare
occurrence in the settlement, and of course
everybody went to the funeral Next day
somebody remarked to the old lady that there
was large turnout. Yes indeed, there
was, she replied; but didn't enjoy my
self as well as have at some funerals, the
horses cut up so.'

THE Go-BETwEEN.-There is perhaps, not
a more odious character in the world, than
that ola go between-by which we mean
that creature who carries to the ears of one
neighbor every injurious observation that
happens to drop from another. Such a
person is the slanderer's herald, and is al
together more odious than the slanderer
himself By his vile oficiousness he makes
that poison efectice which else were inert
for threefourths of the ISLANDERS in the world
would never injure their object, except by
malice of 60 betweens, who under the mask
of double friendship, act the part of double
