If there is one thing more than another need
ed by the people of Charlottesville. and espe-
oially the merchants, it is water-cart to
sprinkle the streets. It is very simple con-
trivance, and one which would pay the mer-
chants treble the amount Of expense of procur-
ing and supporting it, in saving their goods
from damage by the clouds of dust which pre-
vail every where at every puff of wind = Char

Stanton has the benefit ola street sprinkler.
1t never had one before this summer Having
enjoyed its benefits for sufficient time to test
its merits, our citizens would not consent now
to do without it. They will prefer to increase
the number Of them. The fourishing embryo
cities Of Charlottesville, Lexington, Harrison
burg and Baskerville should lose no time in
getting street sprinklers. Which will get the

A NEW SONG.

There is beauty, pashos, and truth combine,
in the following song, which all delinquent sub
scribers should learn to sing with an understand
ing heart
Oh how happy are they
Who the p1inter do pay,
And have squared up the old year and more;
Tongue cannot express
The great joy of the press
When delinquents have squared the old score.
Printers all the day long
Labor hard for their song;
Oh that all, their hard fate could but see;
They have worked all the day
And of course want their pay.
To buy sugar, bread, butter, and tea.

as follows:
July |, 1868.
Please say to your friend that he is entirely
right as to my views suffrage and State rights.
What desire for the southern States in peace
and prosperity, with all acknowledgements and
disabilities removed and all rights restored to
all citizens. But the practical disposition Of
the question of suffrage, as we'll as all other
domestic questions, is for the people Of the
States themselves, not for outsiders On this
question [ adhere to my old States rights doc
trines. In the event OF nomination and success
| trust | should SO act that neither the great
party which makes the nomination, nor the
great body of patriotic citizens whose CO. opera
ton would insure success, would have any cause
to regret their action. 1t is an intense desire
with me to see the Democratic party meeting
the questions of the day in the spirit of the
day. and assuring to itselfa long duration Of
ascendancy. 1t can do so if it will.
