saloon right, and taste of his raws stews or

From all parts of the country, and in
the West, come reports of large and en-
thusiastic republican meetings, German
and English. Shall the struggle of the
past eight years be fought over again
shall the defeated rebels be restored to
place and power? These are the ques-
tions, and all the Copperhead deception
cannot cover them. There is but one
ticket which the true friend of his coun-
try can vote-Grant and Colfax

30 Our neighbor entertains so perfect ha-
tired towards Gen. Grant for having thresheti
his Southern Democratic frields into obedi-

privilege Of having his name begin with a

are big potatoes and little potatoes, and il
there is a smaller potato in the Democratic
hill than is our neighbor, this contemplate act

Good Crops.

E.zl. Drake, last Spring, planted three and

The Democrat thinks it "very strange" that
we should predict that Peace would come to
the country in case of Grants election, and
profess not to believe in our foresight The
Democrat prophesicd a victory for its party at
the late election. It's effort, however was a
prodigious failure. We prophesied 4 Repub-
lican victory, and the people sustained the pre-
diciion handsomely. Let us wait and see If we
are not again right, in the prediction that the
election Of Grant Will be speedily followed by
a happy and permanent peace.

Democracy have been in terrible fret. They
were badly beaten; 80 badly that they could
hardly contain Themselves. To right the mat
ter a little, give them chance TO shirk the
responsibility of bets they had made on the re-
suit in November, and let the weight of a
"dcad bcat"-fall less heavily upon them, the
B'orId and other leading papers suggested the
propriety of dropping the old candidates and
freezing fast to new ones. To this, however,
the masses of the party demur; and they are
right The time is too short in which to ena-
able them to learn to believe the thousand and
one lies which would have to be invented in
favor of their candidates; and besides, the peo-
pie have already decided that Grant shall oc-
cupy the White House, and ColfaI preside
over the Senate. OF what good will change

THE FOURTH YEAR.

This number is our first issue for the fourth
year since VIC resumed publication after the
war. To the many friends who have aided
us By their patronage 10 the three years over
which we have passed, We have no language
to express the real gratitude we feel. With
in that time We have built up good busi>
ness; have lived for the most part comforts
by, and are to-day, as far as patronage is
concerned, in reasonably fair condition
But there is one draw back, which we regard
as q misfortune We have too much upon
our books, and TOO little in our pockets.
There are too many persons reading our pa
per who bavo not paid for it, and who utterly
disregard every appeal we make to them
through these columns. How are we to live
unless we get our pay regularly for our labor
and paper The farmer who sells us bushel
of potatoes expects the cash the merchant
from whom We get our groceries must have
his money down the hands in our employ
ought to have their money every Saturday
night; tho paper-maker when he sends us a
lot of paper, marks it I" collect on delivery !"
whilst the butcher who furnishes us with
meat never dreams of charging it TO US; and
If NC were to ask miller in this county to
credit US for barrel of -four he would at
once conclude that an additional cell in the
Lunatic Asylum ought to be provided for our
accommodation. So you see that we arc con-
fined to the ready money for all that we con-
gumo, and if We trust you, we arc only making
it-that much harder on ourselves And yet
you who have not paid for your paper will
Rad this. and say, " VOL, only owe three
dollars; he cant need that small sum SO
much" And so with hundreds of you, till
the aggregate runs up to over thousand dol
Iars, out Of which we are kept by your neg
Iigeace. .s-. ID

these things, and could not allow myself,
unless was less than man, to stand before
audiences like this except as one who wished
to serve you and serve his fellows itizeus.--
TGreat applause Why may we not have
peace in this land-why may we not have the
Government of our fathers-why may we not
live together as brothers and aid each other in
the distresses and difficulties growing out Of
the late war; why can we not, in the spirit
of those who went out to fight our battles,
try to heal the wounds of the body polite ?
How was it with you who served your country
on the battle, field? Do you remember the
scenes of bloody strife Do you remember
how your spirits fred up with the desire to
maintain the cause of the Union, and how,
while the fight went on, you struck down those
who stood in your pathway; but wien the
conflict ended and the smoke of the battle
rolled away, and you traversed the field of
blood and suffering, did you see in that writh>
ing form before you other than fellow man
who had friends who loved him at home, and
who, though he wore different uniform from
yours, you were willing to rush down and
nurse as brother. Why is it that statesmen
cannot learn lesson Of magnanimity from
those who fought the battles of our country !?
Governor Seymour closed by an eloquent
appeal to all to act uninfuenced, except by their
convictions, in the coming election. 81 d

his already established reputation for the
loftiest patriotism and most elevated states

mind back to the purer days of the Repub

The Mt. jackson Murder.

From the New Market Fd1ley we copy the
following particulars of the murder of John
Conner a brief notice of which we published
last week : st. be-. Ul 1850. eA a- rs.
Conner left Mt. jackson on Tuesday eve
ming between and 10 o'clock, shortly after
being paid off, in the direction of the spot
where his body was found. Murphy followed
him. Blood was found upon Murphy's coat
and shirt, even after an attempt had been
made to wash them and package of money
with blood upon some of the notes, was found
in Murphy's house. The amount found COR
responded with the amount Conner is said to
have had and Murphy failed to account for
his whereabouts, the blood upon his clothing,
or how blood happened on the money. The
Jury rendered the following verdict:
John Conner came to his death by wounds
and blows inflicted upon his body and head
with knife, in the hand of John Murphy
Murphy was, accordingly committed by
Justice j. p. Funkhouser, for the crime of
murder. Murphy made very little effort to
clear up the suspicious circumstances, his
statements were conflicting. and at variance
with the evidence. L. Triplett, Jr. acted as
his. counsel. W. W. Bird, ESQ. for the
commonwealth. ,.s5
This was one Of the most brutal aud afro
cious murders that has ever been committed
in this Valley, and ELECTS great deal of COM
ment: There are several circumstances cor
mected with the affair, not fit to go into a
newspaper, which, however, will be brought
out at the trial, and will doubtless have much
to do with Murpby's fate before jury:
