During the debate on the military bill in the
Senate, on the 18th uit., Senator Doolittle said,
that she did not believe the South would ac-
cept uaire,sal suffrage. They would prefer a
military government To this, Senator Wilson,
of Massachusetts, instantly replied "Wey mast
be made to accept, then.
In the course of an article commenting upon
this remark of Senator Wilson, the Sunday
-Nercoy says:
The people of the American colonies long
suffered under the wrongs of imperial tyranny,
before they resisted. Dir. Franklin, in the pres
ence Of the British House Of Commons, in l776,
said: Suppose military force sent into A
merican, they will find nobody in arms sCl0t
are they then to do? They cannot force a man
to take stamps who chooses to do without them.
They (the military will not find a rebellion.
BUT THEY CAN MAKE ONE?' And SO we say to
Senator Wilson you may cut the territory Of
the ten Southern States up into five military
districts and place an army in and over each one
Of them; but you cannot force the people there
to adopt State Constitutions made for them by
Congress, OR to enbody in Constitutions OF their
own making, such obnoxious conditions as Con-
gress may dictate. What, then, will your army
do? In the words Of Franklin, they will not
find rebellion, but they can make one" and
1t Is our honest opinion, that if the Southern
people are driven again into rebellion, by meas
ures whose despotic character must shock and
alarm the spirit Of liberty in every quarter OF
this land, war will ensue, from which no sec
ton oft will be exempt and whose consequences
no prophet can predict

Spring is Coming.
BY y. J. REQUIER.

[ know it by the hyacynths
Which now begin to blow.
And fitting voices strangely sweet
And TREMENDOUSLY low,
By something purer in the sun,
And softer in the air,
And holier in the twilight stars,
That Spring will soon be here
The almanacs are well enough
For gardeners and for cooks
| see the seasons in the sky,
And find them by the brooks;
| hear them on the breezy hills,
And, in the hollows, see
Their token-fowers and signs that speak
Their messages to me-
And thus, CLEAN from cleaning isles
Of sunset in the West
From wavings of untiring wings
That will not go to rest;
From spells of fragrance spiced afar,
And peeping spears of green,
And silver bugles in the wind,
The advent of a Queenl
L know it by the hyacinths
Which now begin to blow,
That Winter, on his icy bed,
Is dead or nearly so.
And soon will come, with fiaxen curls,
Led by the laughing hours,
The blue-eyed daughter of the Sun,
In clarifying showers!

Outrages and Insults,

The Richmond Times very truly maintains
that "outrages and insults to the defeated only
disgrace the victors. From an editorial of the
Times on that subject, we extract the following
Forever furled are our once victorious ban
ners.' forever hushed the clarion voices OF our
greatest heroes, and the very muskets and rifles
which once glistened along the lines ofthe grand
old army of Northern Virginia, and spread
death and pale dismay through the ranks OF
MANY an invading army, are now slowed In
Northern arsenals and regiments Harmed men
watch and guard a disarmed and powerless peo-
ple. And the very soldiers who are quartered
among us seem the most humane and magnanl
nous of those who comprised our overthrow.
The demagogue is now merclless, the soldier
humane
ut was of course in the power of the Govern
ment of the triumphant nation to impose terms
upon us in some respects more harsh than those
which the Prussiaus and the Turks inflicted up
on the Poles and the Greeks, and for mercl-
less Congress to dishonor the magnanlmlty OF
the very soldiers who defeated us in battle.
st heretofore pleased the authority which
dictates its orders to the military officials among
us, to inf1ict much atrocious treatment upon us
in the past God knows we have, with the
bayonet for physic spoon, swallowed bitter
medicine enough since April, 1865. We have
seen buttons cut from ragged uniforms, news
papers suppressed, editors imprisoned, laws
nullifed, regularly elected officials elected, Gov
errors snubbed, obnoxious colors prohibited,
funeral obsequies forbidden, and even balls and
tournaments tabooed. VCe uictis. And haugh-
ty and proud as We are, we have borne and lived
through these things; and we have seen grim
veterans who pinked Federal soldiers all along
the grand procession of battles from Bethel to
Appomattox Court House, submit to be depriv-
ed of their buttons as mildly as sheep endure
the shears of the shepherd. But such outrages
as these do not disgrace and dishonor helpless
people, of whose valor the world is still talking
''As the appropriate climax to all these out
RACES of lS65-'66, we have now to endure a
measure of iniquity called 'Sherman's bill,
which, after it has been passed into law, over
the veto of the President, will be enforced in
Virginia by a Brigadier- General and a sufGcien-
cy of soldiers to crush us into obedience. And

to lay down our arms. We appeal to them to

We appeal to them not to overthrow and revo-

venerate We urge them not to allow anv
insane hate of the South to unite them in meas

hoods, measures wholly without excuse in actual
facts, and cruel and arbitrary beyond an ex.

for the prosecution of the work in which they
have long been engaged, in which much has been
accomplished, but where very much remains to
be done. 1t needs not to commend this holy
work to the sympathles of our people. An un-
desecrated grave is poor return for the sacrifice
of life; yet, this is all we can now accord Let
this be cheerfully given Hitherto, the ladies in
the country have had small opportunity of CO.
operating in this work. Money only has been
asked, and, in many instances, this they had not
to spare. Now contributions are solicited of
such kind that each may bestow something
Everything that can be available in furnishing
the dinner; every article Of use of ornament to
supply the tables of the Fair will be needed, and
will be of avail in swelling the proceeds. Send
flour, meat poultry, butter, eggs, produce of all
kinds. Send clothing, yarn socks,-in short,
everything that each one, in his circumstances,
can spare. Send articles of use, where it can be
DONE rather than such merely ornamental.
Let the ladies in each neigh borhood associate and
prepare contribution and send it to the Associ-
alton at Staunton some ten days previous to the
fourth Monday In March. This fair will be kept
open from day to day until all the articles con-
tributed are disposed OF. Jan. 22-td
