MOT.
The Penalties for a new Crime.

In Virginia less than in almost any other
State, are the whites divided in political sentl-
ment and the efforts to brand patriotic devotion
to our section as treason" and to render 1t
''odious," have simply rendered the vile apos-
tates who have tried to play this game them
selves so ''odious' that they are Stunned like
lepers by nine -tenths of their old associates
Indeed, to avoid the infamy which is likely to
attach to the memory of these renegades, their
descendants will some day be petitioning the
courts TO be allowed the privilege of changing
their names.
After having exhausted all the efforts of ma
lice, vindictiveness an SANDER, the Radicals
find that the people of Virginia cling to their
disfranchised civil and military leaders with an
affection which has been intensified by the per
secution to which they have been subjected.
And as long as this noble spirit pervades our
people, the negroes and their wretched parasites
can inhict nothing more than little temporary
ANNOYANCE upon us. All that we have to do Is
to oppose to every act OF these creatures a re-
sistance, either passive or active, which can only
be overcome by standing army. Let the me-
groes and the carpet-bag adventurer learn that
when the bayonet is withdrawn, down topples
their power, and up again go the old standards
of the white man as In days gone by.
The traitors to their race who are advocating
the disfranchisement of our best citizens mus
be taught that the penalty OF their crime Is ut
ter and complete accommodation by the race
which thev have betrayed If the soldiers who
defended Virginia are unworthy to vote, or t(
hold office, those who thus think are certainly
unworthy of association with the prescribed
Let them have their fill of the negroes and o
the unwashed, Goldfish eating scallawags tt
whom they would give all the offices and poWe
in the State. Let them eat with them, sleeI
with them, intermarry with them, live and dl'
with them, for they cannot expect the counte
nance of those who do not believe that negrt
is as good as white man. What right has an.
apost ate Confederate, who would dlsfranchls
| General Lee, and make a suffragan of his blacl
| hostler to associate with the gentlemen upol
whom he openly wars.
The crime proposed by such men is ia
graver one than that for which offenders ar
sent to another hill than that upon which stand
the Canitol The Romans regard d the Grim
of parricide as impossible, and for time enao
| ted no law for it's punishment. Tue offence 0
giving Virginia to the negro and to the rapaciou
mercenaries who laid waste her soil and ruine
her people, was, until recently, a sin, whic
seemed too hideous to be possible. Althoug
the laws do not punish it, yet every refectin
white who thinks of the consequences of negr
rule, knows that it is the blackest crime eve
contemplated 1t is nothing less than the mul
| der of the State and the dishonor of a nobl
race by putting the foot of the late slave upor
| the neck Of his old master.-Enquarer.

[For the SPECTATOR
Self-Sacrifice for Country.

And think Of the past

And thy sons that have fallen without number

For thee have they fallen.
Was it not self-sacrifce, noble and dear?
To lay down their lives
Their own PRECIOUS lives spair

And unless all unite,
And work with their might,

And for the dear noble ones that in battle were
slain.

And strive to the last
To save our poor country from ruin and shame.

Mourn We for the gallant dead.


AIE-Ny Maryland.
Mourn ye for the gallant dead,
Nevermore, oh, nevermorel
Though with them our hopes are fed,
Evermore, forevermore;
Lightly FER their ashes tread,
Strew with flowers each lowly bed,
But untimely tears be shed,
Nevermore, oh, new ermore
When his arm has failed to save,
Evermore, forevermore
All of worth that freedom gave,
Evermore, forevermore,
Better for the young and brave,
Each to fill an honored grave
Than to live and be slave,
Evermore, forevermore.
Never shall thy banner soar
Nevermore, oh, nevermore!
Proudly as it did of yore
Nevermore, oh, nevermore
And the deadly struggle DER,
Irumpets breath and battla's roaA
Shall disturb their rest no more,
Nevermore, oh, nevermore!
Happy they who dead remain,
Evermore, forevermore.
On the fiery battle plain,
Evermore, forevermore
Girt by friends and brethren slain,
For the cause they loved in vain,
They shall wear the victor's chain
Nevermore, oh, nevermore
Though expressions iron hand,
Evermore, forevermore,
Smite the spoiled and blasted land,
Evermore, forevermore.
Shall Virginia calmly stand
10 endure as to command
10 the last supremely grand,
Evermore, forevermore.
Ground to earth she soorns TO nloau,
l4veri1ore,,' forevefmore,
From her lips escapes no groan,
Evermore, fforevermore.
Like star she dwells alone,
In radiance all her own,
Lighting earth from zone to zone,
Evermore, forevermore.
Pillowed on her sacred breast
Evermore, forevermore.
None to break thy hallowed. rest,
Aevermore, oh! 'neYermore.
Sleep her brayest and her best,
While their worth from east to west
Earth's appiauses shall attest,
Evermore, forevermore.

BEGINNING THE WoRLD.-Many an unwise
parent labors hard and lives sparingly all his
life, for the purpose of leaving enough to give
his children start in the world, as it Is called.
Setting young man afoat with money left him
by relatives, is like tying bladders under the
arms of one who cannot swim ten chances to
one he will lose his bladders and go to the bot
tom. Teach him to swim and he will not need
bladders. Give your child sound education,
and you have done enough for him. See to it
that his morals are pure, his mind cultivated,
and his whole nature made subservient to the
laws which govern men, and you have given
him what will be more valuable than the wealth
of the Indies. To be thrown upon ones own
resources is to be cast into the very lap of for
tune, for our faculties then undergo develop
ment, and display an energy, of which they
were previously unsusceptible.

TRULY DRAMATIC Generals Grant and
Butler, it would seem, have had reconcilia-
ton. They have come together and embraced
jas long lost brothers, each finding the Identical
strawberry mark on the other arm and each
producing from the interior of his waistcoat a
counterpart locket with a counterpart picture
of the same identical woman, who as they now
discover, was the mother of each Our gay
and brilliant friend, George Wilkes, ESQ.,, of
Wilkes Spirit played the heavy father on this
deeply interesting occasion; and, extending his
hands over the heads of the reunited brothers
as they embraced, cried aloud with great sobs
'Bib bib bib bless you, my chichi-chi- chill
dren!" with the most pathetic JUNCTION and a
large display of red bandanna kerchief, in true
dramatic style. Then Bottled Butler fell on
Grants breast and unbottled himself of many
tears. After which Grant fell on Butler S
breast, and the two had real, high-style,
tough, old-fashioned crying and hugging match
together-such as the little boys, who eat pea
nuts in the pit of the Bowery theatre, never
fail to be delighted with and applaud to the
echo Beautiful are these two in their lives
in their deaths let them not be divided Miles
