Instrumentation of the South T

Hon. B. H. Hill has written letter to the
New York Times, in which he says:
/ shall return home "a mortified if not a
wiser man." Mortified only because | find in
the North bitter, systematic, adroit and per-
sistent misrepresentation Of the temper, desires
and views of the Southern whites far exceeding
my anticipations. l have stood in the fight,
and been the target of this kind of warfare be-
fore. 1t was practiced by many of the Seces-
sionists in 1860. The people Of the South will
comprehend my meaning when | say that tie
plan of Misrepresentation is pra ticed here with
shrewdness, persistence, and in a manner
to excite distrust and sectional hate to an ex
tent unknown in the South In the most in
temperate days of secession The very same
means which were employed in 1860 at the
South to induce that people to leave the Union,
are now employed at the North, with more skill
and less candor, to keep. them from coming
back to the Union. The South did have cause
of complaint against the North, for their in
ternal affairs had been persstenty intermeddled
with. But the South does not now, and never
has desired to intermedde with the internal
affairs of the North. The South comedies to
the North what the North denies to the South
the right to regulate the franchise, each State
for itself"

Obituary..
To my loved Friend, Mrs. K. M. K.


Gently and tenderly lay him to rest,
Tiny hands folded upon his white breast,
Sunny eyes closing-their light has all fled
Strengthen the darling limbs-Louie is dead
Fold the robe closer about the still form;
Press the cold lips that loves Hiss cannot warm
Tears drop like rain on the beautiful head
Wild sobs are bursting for-Louie is dead
Dead, as you follow behind the black bier
Dead, as you look on the dark silent grave
Have you forgotten the Hand that can save?
''Never before has thy mothers heart bled
With anguish, that could not be comforted;
No sorrow before, but thy soul could say
Not my will, but Thine be done. Father, Away
swat, mother, in patience God piteth thee,
And watoheth thy struggles all teIderly;

Where there never was pain, and there is no
night
He is waiting there mid the shining band
Of ransomed ones, in the Better Lend p
DEAR FRIEND:-I came across the above lines
in an old book when l was quite child, and
their beauty and consoling simplicity led me to

you as a slight testimony of the deep sympathy

loved wife of j. W. BooZ and daughter of G. D.
McGhee of Bedford County, Virginia, in the Oath
y
young wife and mother called from earth to
heaven. Cut down like flower that had scarce
ly bloomed, taken from loved ones who so much
needed her care, deeply mysterious indeed seems
this dark dispensation of Providence to surviv
ing relatives and friends. 'Thow knowest not
now, but shall know hereafter speaks the Sa-
viour to all earth's mourners; and though we
cannot see Dhy Gods hand should be SO heavily
laid ON us, as in taking away mother from two
helpless babes, a wife from a fond husband yet
in the light of Eternity in the better land it will
all be made plalr. The deceased was member
of the Presbyterian church, and those who knew
her best testify to her pous life her gentle, ami
able disposition, and though it was not permitted
her to recognize the loved faces around her death
bed yet they can have the comfortable assurance
that all is well with her; she now rests in the
heavenly home.
Leaves have their time to fall
And flowers to wither meath the North wind

And stars to set-But all ts

By the President of the United States of Amer
ica-A Proclamation
In the year which is now drawing to its end,
the art, the skill and the labor of the people OF
the United have been employed with greater
diligence and vigor, and on broader fields, than
ever before, and the fruits of the earth have
gathered into the granary and the storehousc
in marvellous abundance; our highways have
been heightened and new and prolific regions
have been occupied. We are permitted to hope
the long protracted political and sectional dis.
sensions are, at no distant day, to give place to
returning harmony and fraternal affection
throughout the Republic. Many foreign States
have entered into liberal agreements with Us,
while nations which are far off and which here
tofore have been unsocial and exclusive have
become our friends The annual period of rest
which we have reached in health and tranquil
ty, and which is crowned with so many blessings
is by universal consent convenient and suita-
BILE one for cultivating personal piety and prac-
Using public devotion.
l therefore recommend that Thursday, the
Goth day of November next, be set apart and
observed by all the people of the U. States as
aday Of public praise, thanksgiving and prayer
to the Almighty Creator and Divine Ruler of
the Universe, by whose ever watchful merciful
duu SIdCiOuS pIOflutuCc dlOHt, OtdteS, uO less
than families and individual men, do live and
move and have their being.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.

knowledge, on behalf of the Augusta County
Fair, the donation of your Reaper, known as
Mccormick Self Raker for 1865"
1t is no disparagement to the many liberal
donations made to our Fair, to say that this
gift from you affords us higher qualification
than any we have received.
We claim both the Reaper and its Inventor
as natives of Augusta county. Our people
have followed with kindly interest the progress
of both to reputation and to fortune, and we
felt special county pride when at the French
Exposition Of 1867, they alone commanded the
combined honors Of the Grand Prize" and
the Gross Of the Legion of Honor.
1t is a striking fact that the successful In.
ventor, after an: absence of near thirty years,
should send his perfected Invention as a token
of remembrance of his early home and his ear

Augusta County. IA ,El,Ifa

1t really might be of great service to some of
our selfsatisfed and over -contented townsmen
of Lexington. to visit our enterprising little
neighboring city" of GRANDDAUGHTER known
as the County Seat of Augusta County.
J, There is certain go headitiveness about
the place, the contagion Of which couldn't do
Lexington any harm.
One thing that we very much admire about
Staunton and the Staunton people, is the SUI
preme complacency with which they pass
through life. Every body in Staunton seems
to be certain, that Staunton is the first place
upon the Continent, and that 1t IS going to be
the first town on the planet Gazette and

the stomach of all impurities, to invgorate, to
arouse the liver from torpidity, and to expel
from the bowels all unhealthy secretions This
should be done by some gentle medicine that in
its actions will not debilitate the system, impair

which purpose We know of no remedy ever yet
invented that can begin to approach in efficien-
cy the CELEBRATED PREMIUM BITTERS,
manufactured from purely vegetable substances
by Mr.. ELIJAH BAKER Of Richmond city,
and sold throughout the country by apotheca-

the summer and fall diseases of the Southern

are a sure cure for Dyspepsia. Diarrhea, Dyson

From the Richmond Wing. |
The Augusta County Fair.


The following is a portion of private letter
to this Office from gentleman connected Off
cially with the Augusta County Agricultural
Society:
STAUNToN, Oct 5, 1868.
Everything promises well. We have
raised over SIS, 900 in the county, in subscrip-
tons of 500, for life memberships and from
the rapidity with which they come In, L feel
sure we shall have 500, 900 before the fair is
over The bonds all bear interest from date,
but are payable in instalments running as long
as ten years. The banks have advanced the
money for our outfit, and we are promised per,
manent loans by the county people, which Will
enable us to realize our subscriptions.
The county court and town council have ap.
propriated the money necessary to put the road
to the fair grounds in complete order, and all
our people seem to have taken up the idea that
our fair must be success. The chief apprehen..
sion have had has been that the people would
not bring out their stock and wares for. exhlbi
ton, but from recent accounts [ hope that will
not be the case. We have assurance OF help from
the cities in the way of implements, machinery
and manufactures, and number of eastern
gentlemen have promised to bring fine cattle,
sheep, &c.
The introduction of sports on the green has
given great interest to the occasion among the
young, and they soon infuse life into the old
folks at home.
We have no base ball club, and would like to
have visit from some of your Richmond clubs,
as we have very fine place for the game.
As to premiums, it is our purpose to give, in
every case, certificate showing the success of
the exhibitor, and to add, in the form of agri-
cultural, horticultural, domestic and industrial
Journals, books, &C., what we may find ourselves
abln t0 do Mr., ohcoruo md ,of1o
that money premiums are not looked to or priz-
ed by one person in thousand, but that all
wish some evidence that will do to keep and to
show.
