The Effect of 1t,

The Journal of Commerce is dwelling
upon the pafalyzing influences of the
schemes of reconstruction now agitated
in Congress, as already felt throughout
the South, and which, eventually, must
react upon Northern industry. A sim
gle fact shows how powerful is the in
fiuence thus exerted in discouraging the
investment of capital in that part Of the
country:
We are reliably informed that, to-day,
several English gentlemen who visited
this country with the full expectation
of purchasing cotton lands, to the ex-
tent of e2,OOO,OOO, haveabandoned their
purpose, in view of the uncertainties of
the future since the designs of certain
Radical politicians have become more
fully disclosed. Planters are ready to
make favorable terms for the sale of
real estate, but, at present, find few who
are willing to buy. They are apparent
ly doomed to still more hopeless pow
erty, and there is general gloom and dis
enlargement, in that section, among all
classes of people.

Editors Neao Era: The co-partnership
between Charles Il. O'Ferrall and my
self, by which the "Virginla and Ameri-
can Hotels'' were united and operated
jointly by us, having been dissolved by
mutual consent, and the Virginia
Hotel' now being under my sole and
exclusive control, avail myself of this
means of communicating to you that
the free hospitality of the "'Virginia
Hotel" is cordially extended to you,
not to be entertained as guests, bit treated
as friends.
Hoping that you will when passing
through or stopping in this place, on
business or pleasure, ,t'ahe itotingly accept
the hospitality thus cordially proffered,
/ subscribe myself, most respectfully,
your obedient servant,
GEORGE L. PEYTON, Proprietor.
Wetake great pleasure in recommend
ing the Virginia Hotel to the travelling
public. A gentleman so liberal and
generous to editors, cannot be otherwise
than attentive and courteous to guests.
We are very sure Mr.. Peyton knows
how to "keep Hotel" and that those
who favor him with a call will not
regret it.
We thank him for his kindness, and
may some day take him by the hand.

We take the following from an old
paper published in the year 1927:
A great Prophecy from IRVING "the
great"
Tho the age Of miracles may be gone by, it
seems that the age of Prophecy is not.-ED
MIS-.
Mr.. Irvingsupposes the 1860 years
ought to be reckoned from a. d. 533, at
which time the Justinian Code, which
greatly enlarged and strengthened the
Papal power, was promulgated. The
period would then terminate in 1888, the
era of the French revolution. The 1.-TWO
witnesses" the Old and New Tesla
mcnts, were slain when infidelity was
established in France, 1893; and their
Resurrection" took place in 1897, in
which yearreligious worship was restor-
ed in that country, the missionaries
were sent to Otaheite, and the Serain-
pore translations were commenced. In
1923, the 1880 days mentioned in Dam
lei -: | , closed. The "searlet-eolonr-
ed beast, (" is the spirit of infidelity, per-
sonifed in Napoleon, and destined yet
to reappear, and to fall in the battle Of
Armageddon, in the Holy Land. Dan
iel's "23O0 days (24OO according to Mr.. l.
following the Septuagint,) will termin-
ate in 1917, in which year, he says,
.'true worship will be restored in Jer-
usalem." The 1885 days." Daniel -:
r., are to close in 1867 when the Millen-
MUM is to commence. The world is
now on the eve of the most terrible con-
WILSON'S, in which England will have
her full share. Such is the outline of
Mr.. Irving's theory. Hespecifes many
events that are soon to happen, and, on
the correctness of these predictions,
stakes his credit as an interpreter of
Prophecies.-W Vt. Chronicle.

lowed by a grand Ball at the Everett
House in the evening. It was largely
attended, and the festivities were kept
up till late hour by those who indulge
in the healthful and exhiliarating ex-
ercise of the dance. The scene was one
OF unalloyed pleasure and long was it
ere tired nature sighed
.'Tis over
The waltz, the quadrille and the song
The whispered farewell of the lover,
And the careless adieus of the throng,
The heart that was throbbing with pleasure,
The eyelid that longed for repose,
The beaux that were dreaming of treasure,
The girls that were dreaming of beaux."
1t is due to Captain Kearn to say
that he is deserving of great credit for
the interest and energy he has shown
in organizing an efficient Fire Compa-
ny for the protection of the property Of
our citizens. And his noble and com
mendable efforts in this direction, should
meet with a hearty second. Within a
day, or IN moment, in the hours Of
O."oiaOoo, VI III oHC olIClIt WdtGIlcs VI tilO
night, that fearful cry, next in terror to
the last trump, may summon him and
his gallant men, not to protect the prop
erty only but save the lives ofour friends
and neighbors. The sleeping pillow of
childhood or helpless old age, the fairy
forms of beauty, or even manhood in its
prime may be wrappedin sudden flames,
and the cry go up at midnight for their
aid. We know this appeal would never
be in vain, but that, starting from their
own peaceful slumbers, these brave Fire
men would bring to the rescue the cour-
age, vigor and skill Of men, ready to
peril even their lives at the call of du-
ty.
Now, it is our duty-the duty of ev-
cry citizen-to see that they are pro-
vided and appointed with all the means
and appliances which eau aid their no
bic efforts. With plenteous supplies Of
water, and perfect machinery, we can
feel the fullest confidence that their
str ong arms and willing hearts will do
all that man can do to protect us.
Under the direction Of Captain Kearn
the Engine and apparatus has been put
in the best possible working order; but
yet it is inadequate. They need new
and more powerful machine. Our cit
liens ought to see that it is furnished.
Let the Town Council take action in
the matter at once. The reduction in
the rates of insurance which an effective
Fire Department would bring about,
would in very short time more than
cover the tax required to purchase a
new Engine. Then let us have an APP
preparation for this purpose. We hope
some member of the Council will move
it at their next meeting, and have it
put right through. The Firemen de-
serve it; the security of property de-
mands it, and VIC believe our citizens,
with one accord, would sanction it. 1t
is no security for the future that our
town has so long escaped the rayages
of fire. 1t may be visited upon us at
almost any moment, and from want of
effective means of combating it, prop
erty be destroyed to an amount suffi
cient to purchase half dozen Engines.
True policy would dictate immediate
action. Shall we have it
