CROMWELL AND GRANT.

Cromwell and his fanatics, the an
cestOrs of our New England Puritan
brothers, were as earnest republicans
as ever lived. Their war against the
cavaliers was type Of our own late
bloody war. Their Rump Parliament
wssa type Of our Rumpi Cong ress.-
1t grew besotted with power through
it's long indulgence In abuse In the
midst OF civil war. They could no.
trust the eople to renew their lease of
power, but allied themselves with
Cromwell, whom they made Lieuten-
ant General to maintain them in 1t by
his observation-disclosures with their con-
stituencies, il sufnced for time, but
he at last felt that public sentiment de-
manded an accession OF members fresh
from the people. "Cromwell, says the
historian, attempted to bring about an
accommodation The Parliament filled
up the tull measure Of their demands
by requiring a permanent committee
chozen from the presen: members, who
should ratify or inyalidate at their own
pleasure all future elections. srhis is
toe much, exclaimed Cromwell.
Go to, go to !? we have heard
enough words 1t is time to put an end
to all this and to silence these babblers
You are no longer Parliament. You
shall not sit here single hour longer.
Make room for better men, 'Misera-
BILE wretches,' exclaimed Cromwell, as
if violence without insult was INSULT
cent for his anger, you call yourselves
Parliament y No you are nothing
but mass of tipplers and libcrtines = |
Then pointing with his finger to the
most notorious profligates in the assem-
ely as they passed him in their endeav-
ors to escape from the hall, he said
Thou art a drunkard. Thou art an
Thou art q hireling, paid |
for thy speeches. You are scandalous
sinners, who hung shame on the gospel.
Andyou fancied yourselves fitting
Parliament for Gods people ! No, no,
BECOME Let me hear Ho more OF you.
The Lord rejects you ="
Ourrump has already usurped pow
,r of greater enormity than that which
,alled forth the indignation of Crom-
veil, to whom under the title of General,
hey had committed more than the ex-
'cutive power welded by the dethron-
ID king. So saws MONTGOMERY BLAIR.

APOLOGY.

We must again apologize for the limi-
ted amount of reading matter in the pa
per. Our readers may rest assured that
the pressure of advertisements will not
long continue. We go to Baltimore
and Alexandria but twice a year, and,
unless Gordonsville oyerwhelms us with
advertisements, we can safely promise
our readers something fresh very short
ly-original letters from THoNAs JEr-
PERSON and THOMAS MooRE, batch of
humorous and Satirical articles, &C.,
sc. As the days get langer, our pa
per will be stronger. Still, we would
like to have some advertisements from
Gordonsyille.

DEATH OF wILLIAM N. sEMPLE, ESQ:

We are inexpressibly panied to heai
OF the death OF our friend and former
associate, VIM. NJ. Semble, ESQ. , or the
New Orleans Crescent. The sad event
occurred yesterday, and Is reported by
telegraph. We have time but to ex-
press our heartfelt sorrow Mt this sad
event and pay hurried tribute to his
worth. No better man ever lived. In
all the high impulses of noble manhood
he was pre-eminent. He was the soul
of honor, and scorned small or mean
act. with unutterable scorn. To these
gifts we're added strong and vigorous
intellect which enabled him to win a
high place among the newspaper writers
of the day. He was true Virginian in
every sense. In the hearts of many de-
voted friends his memory will live in
perpetual freshness. --Lynchb4rg Virgin
ian. ..
In few words, ALBx Err McDoN-
AID has delineated with feeling and
with truth the character of one of the
best friends we ever had. The tribute
Is simple, but it is heartfelt and COM
pIete. ale was the soul Of honor, and
scorned a small or mean action with
unutterable scorn"-that is the key
note, and whole pages OF eulogy could
but repeat it in different form. At
another time, we hope to pay a tribute
Of our own. 1t may be longer, but it
cannot be better than MeDoNALD's.-
There remains in this whole world but
one man whom we love as well-per-
haps even better-than we loved the
Judge. .....

HOW TO DO IT.

When the war ended, in 1865. Er.
Marchant's only POSSESSIONS were the
site of the old factory, and about 81 900
worth of cotton. What should he do .
Where was he to obtain support for
himself and family? He did not hest
tate q moment as to what he should do ?
lie took his thousand dollars, put up
the merest she'd of mill house, and
put into it pair of chopping stones and
carding machine. Night and day he
kept them running, unaided, but hope
full ever. He made money and saved
it until he had enough to erect the
la.gc and we'll built Stone and brick
wooden factory building, which now
stands where the old one stood before
the war. We dare say that Marchant
himself can hardly tell how he brought
the enterprise to / successful end.
But there it is, complete and just ready
to start, with every cent OF its cost paid
down. Nor is that all. Such man
as II. Clay Marchant himself to be does
not pass unnoticed by the best business
men of his community, who are willing
to help themselves. His factory bull
ding and his own character were ample
guarantees of future success friends
became interested in him. Northern
machine shops and Northern capital
lists preferred him material aid and
friendly advice. Thos liberal and eel
ebrated machinists, Furbush d Gaze, of
Philadelphia, sent to him the best ma
chinery their shops could turn out
and j. II. Haskell esq, of Baltimore,
supplied all the bindings" necessary
for the factory, upon as long a time as

THE CURSE OF DENSE POPULATION

In Liverpool at present there are said
tobe 100000 poor persons who are re-
ceiving relief, whilst 5000 others are in
the parish work houses. These figures
show that one in every eleven of the
population of Liverpool is pauper.
Yet we want to cram the State a,
quickly as possible with creatures from
all parts of the earth, and thus bring
upon ourselves prematurely, as it were
the greatest of all curses-dense popu-
lntion.

HEw MODE OF FARMING.

A gentleman just arrived in Rich
mond describes an amusing scene wit
messed in Louisa county near the South
Anna river. In field of land so poor
that it would hardly produce bushel
of cor to the acre, two little bony
steers were yoked to pillow, and ahead
OF them, pulling lazily along were Eve
negroes hitched up by means of what
our informant calls ''snoulder traces"
Another negro was holding the pillow
handles and still another driving the
oxen. The next day i: was noticeable
that four women had relieved the men,
who were doubtless fatigued by their
labors At the pillow. Adjoining this
poor tract on either side were fine plan
tation' suffering for want of labor, and
none could be procured. What COM
mentary Oh the imbecility and shiftless
ness of the negro !--Richmoad Dispatch.
