The County Meetings.

We believe that our people, for the most
part, are impressed with the importance of
the State elections this fall. They have anx
iously watched Andrew johnson while, for
two years of apostncy, be has tried to put
down Congress, thwart the wish Of the coun-
try and rebelize the Government and the re-
constructed Union. They are aware that he
was never more thoroughly inspired with his
devilish purpose than now. Yet because Of
its not being national election, and because
of the great majority which the Republican
party can give 10 this State when its full
strength is brought out. there is danger that
many of our people may be careless of or
ganized effort, and in the end absent them.
selves from the polls.
But this 10 no merely local or State cleo
ton. 1t profoundly affects the country. By
the result in the States, if unfavorable to the
Republicans, Andrew johnson and the
Northern ard Southern rebel Democracy
will be melted to heartier coalition and
sional and carrying out the Johnsonian policy
of reconstruction. All local and State side.iss
sues fall into insigni6cance before the one
great duty which rests upon the Union people
of the nation. That duty is to keep united
and reconstruct the Union, so as to estab
lish loyalty and republican freedom.
1t is necessary everywhere that Republi-
cans should feel the profonndest interest in
the work to be done. We hope no Union
man IN Lee county will be careless in this
crisis. Ours is splendid ticket Union
m IN should see to it that it is elected But
not merely for the men alone. Far above
ell considerations of men rises the importance
of the principles, to which, by supporting our
candidates, you will give your sanction Upon
the success of these principles the right saw
ing of this country depends.
Let the Union meetings which have been
announced, and are published elsewhere, to
be held in the county, be largely attended.
Let every Republican appoint himself cons
mittee Of one to circulate the appointments
and bring out his ne ghbors.

.3S The argument of Col. COOPER in his re-
marks at the Radical meeting, Shy the negro
should vote with his party and against the
men that they were born and raised with and
who have always treated them kindly, dealing
Justly and honestly by them, was, that they
were not in favor of their universal enfran-
chsement. He admitted, that the Southern
men, generally, their former masters, were
more ready to render relief to them In their
distress and want than any other class-hav-
ing less prejudice-but they were not in favor
of micersal suffrage, therefore the black men,
should vote for Bowen and such like, who
would enact laws to cnslave their best friends
little incident, we noticed short time
since, better illustrates his idea
"A highly fashionable dressed lady, pro-
fusely covered with iewelry, was riding in a
street carr in the city on a cold day in Octo-

remarked, How cold it is--hOw shall | get

THE SWORD IN H1sroRY.-At the
Conservative Convention which nomi-
mated General Helm for the Governor
ship of Kentucky, Colonel Wolford, a
distinguished officer Of the Federal ar
my, said:
''If history shall show, in the end,
that the war was for the oyerrunning
and subjugation Of. the Southern States.
for the purpose OF eleyating the negro
to political power at the expense OF
white men, born freemen, descendants
of our revolutionary sires, then shall
turn from my sword with sorrow, if not
with shame"
We submit to Colonel Wo1ford and
thousands of gallant men of the North
ern army that history has already
brought proof and tie sword Of shame y
rests on many household wall. 4

Mrs. SuRRArT.-We take the follow.
ing touching passage from the celebra-
ted argument of Mr.. Merriek in the SUI
raft trial:
But there is another who testifes in
his (Surratt's) behalf, and that heEas
not there; a voice from the grave
nameless, grave without a stone or
flower. Mrs. Surratt says he was not
there-that he had not been there for
two weeks. Weichman says he had
not been there for two weeks; and II
Weichman ever told the truth, it was
then, before he commenced to deyire
scheme for the protection ofhis own life
Fimpelled and forced to the falsehoods
he has since told by the threats and re-
presentations fthis Government, that
unless he lie to suit their purposes he
should be hung with The other conspira-
tors. IF he ever told the truth, it was
then. Gentlemen, this voice from tbs
grave speaks in behalf Of the child.
Says Clarvoe to Mrs. Surratt, II want
to know where John is. I got letter
from him to-day;I have not seen John
for two weeks" Is it truef The liv-
ing truthfully bear testimony that be

grave that he was not here. Her dec

produce them here to protect the child.
But this is one single voice rising
from the tomb, and as it ascends to the
heavens is reechoed back, protect that
boy. You addressing counsel for the
prosecution have broken the cerements
Of the grave; yon have brought her be-

We had not said one word to this jury;
but in bringing her before them you

GENERAL LEE AT THE WHITE SULPHUR
SpRrxGs.-A correspondent Of the Balti-
more Sun, writing from the White Sulphur
Springs, July 25th, says:
8 Among the notable persons who arrived
Yesterday, was Gen. Robert E. Lee and
his family, who will spend couple Of
weeks here, and then go over to the Sweet
Springs, where most Of the visitors Of the
various watering places of this vicinity 60
to wind up the season, and enjoy the splen-
did swimming baths. The Sweet Springs
are under the proprietorship Of Mr.. Carroll,
formerly we'll and favorably known in your
city as the proprietor ofthe Eutaw House.
Report says there are not q great many
visitors there yet, but preparations are
made for crowd, and from the large num-
Der who are talking Of going over, ! think
MIR. CARROLL will not be disappointed in his
expectations.
General Lee arrived here on his famous
gray horse, which he rode all the way from
Lexington. On his approach to the hotel
stranger would have taken him for q plain
Virginia farmer. He looks remarkably
we'll, and although his hair is grey, he has
not otherwise changed so much il appear
ance as not to be readily recognized b
those who knew him before the war; Lik'
Washington, Lafayette, and other rebe
patriots Of the revolution, Lee is respected
and beloved even by those who were On
gagged against him in the late unhapp,
1 struggle. There was no excitement or Ia
rore on the Generals arrival, but every ON
here treated him with the most profoun'
respect, and the greatest courtesy. On hi
appearance in the ball room last eyenin
he received the respect and smiles OF tn
ladies from all parts Of the country, but re
tired early to his cottage in the Baltimor
ROW, where he has serenaded about !
o'clock by Professor Rosenberg's Baltimol
band. The General is accompanied by hi
wife, daughter and son, the former ofwhol
is quite an invalid, and has to be remove
