Our amia5le neignbor of the Winchester
journal, Icha6od Crane, a worthy descendant
OF he redoubtable pedagogue OF Sleepy Hotto,c
celebrity, after a laborious effort ana aided by
his brother spies and caves troopers in our
midst, has discovered and published TO the
world the names OF he three boys" WHO SO
wickediy conspired to destroy '.the best gov
ernmeut The world ever saw" by '.teIoniousy
and with malice prepease, marching into tie
Q ,urt-house IN the town of oodstock, with
carpct-bag on theft backs, when lie and bls
hired coaborer in the work OF reducing VIZ
glnia to the yassaiage, Of negro rule were
speaking, and then and there exhibiting salu
calpet-bags, with dlisbollcal inscriptions, to
the Indignant gaze OF the immense crowd pres

We are ruined people. CRIME says they, the
''aoys" aforesaid we're ..sent there TO break
destroy '.the best government the world ever
saw" BY whom '.seni," the verit;ibie IchQ6od

that they went there at The instance aud by
the advice OF heir fathers. So far as We Know
and believe, the bays We're not sent by their
parents any body else but concoct ed the at
fair as good practical joke, for the special
benefit of Tie aforesaid IchGJod, with no Grim
lnal intent against 'fho best government the
world ever saw" and Certainly with no dds
loyal purpose. The names of the wicked con
spiraiors against the peace aud dignity of the
community, as given by that immaculate en-
boiiment of .'io5 atty" Crane, are as follows:
Its, "a son Of Moses Walton, leader of the bar
in that place. ID, ''ihe son of Rev Mr..
Wolf, methodist pre- lcher in Woodstock = Sd,
'the son OF Gatewood, the editor of the Herald"

We think Crane and brother carpet bag
gers, who como here 10 teach Virginia gentle
men their duties, labor under great delusion
when they take upon themselves the immense
responsibility of representing fhe goreaameat
of tie United S iaies, and charge every man,
woman and child who does not regard them as
such as ''disioyal." On the contrary cur peo
pie lock ePon these vile creatures az ihs hired
eniissaries of the radical party, sent here to
stir up strife, disturb the peace and harmony
of Ike community, and JOIN with the negroes
to destroy our liberties, subvert all social or
der. ani pl ace the government and The Offices
OF the State in their hands. IItn:e, we moi
only have nc respect for them. hut depse and
detest them in onr very souls. # they had The
feelings and sensibiitios Of genleme If they
had any regard fer the interests olthe country,
such as every man ought TO cherish if they

rillifying aud slandering an outraged d wa
trodden and oppressed people. D Doubtless it
was happy riddanee' TO New England when
they left their homes; but il was death 10 us.
they are to US what the frog. and the lice,
AMI the flies, were TO the Egyptians They
are devoid OF h. common sympathies and viz
tues of the human race. Violate every priaci
pie Of christian obligation, disregard al The
amenities of society, and act as spies and
caves troopers generally. 70 tolerate the
presence of such mercenaries in our midst, we
think, shows degree OF patience, fortitlde
and forbearancc of the highest order. " bilst
we must keeniy feel and deplore the wonton
wrongs which these INSCRIPTIONS villains are
daily infiicting upon US, We forbear to visit
upon hem the penalties which they SO richly
deserve. But we are christian people, and
do not choose to detle our hands with the
blood of such inditfer ent specimens OF cur race
We prefer to let these dogs have their day
When the radical rump at Washington shall
have exhausted its wrath upon our heads !;
when the radicals shall have completed their
infamous conspiracy against US, anu we shall
be relieved of military rule we predict that
our tornentors, such as Crane with stake up
their beds aud walk" They viii find this is
not their home; that the climate is too warm
for their CONSTITUTIONS and the people too vir
tn Gus to tolerate their presence.
