"Thc Cry Of, the Poor hath entered the Ears of

ld We hear from all parts of the State of in
tense suffering for food among The people.
The poor are every where, begging for bread.
They are of both .colors and rbotl, sexes
The pale widow of the dead soldier nbees-
the ragged child of the dead or maimed SOL
dier begs- the feeble old woman and old
man, whose son or sons were slain id the
rebellion, beg-numbers who lost their all
by the rebellion, anti who were once good
livers, are begging; and many Of Itl,eaeolor-
ed people, fronIlack of knowledge Of this
unfriendly world, from hard contracts, from
injustice they have suffered, and for which
they can get no redress, are also begging.
The land is full of want and Mourning
The God of War stamps his foot no longer
and calls for victims, but as the result Of his
awful tread the pale spectre of Famine is
staring thousands in the face. Thousands
of our peoplego to bed at night not know
ing where to get a morsel Of food the next
day. The writer of this has recently been
among the people, and knows this to be
true. In one County alone, (Stokes) 1t is
estimated that there are three thousand per-
sons in a starving condition. Think of that,
ye who live in luxury and want for nothing
There is hut one remedy for this That
remedy is the restoration Of the Union, and
tile rerital Of prosperity that piH. .toIlo,o.
1t makes ones blood boil to witness all
this distress and suffering, and then reflect
that the very men who caused all this evil
| who slew our young men in battle-who
made all these widows and orphans
MANNED thousands of our best and most
active citizens-who plunged the country
in general bankruptcy-who cut off or
dried up every source of prosperity and hap
| pines-who have kept the State out of tho
Union for three long years, during which
period we have been getting poorer and
poorer-that these men, thus covered with
treason to their country and with the guilt
of having ruined so many people, should
still come forward and attempt to- clutch
power, and thus continue and keep mp this
distress, suffering and starvation! We ap-
! peal to every humane and thoughtful man
to bear these things in mind, and to adopt
the only course which, in reason, can be
adopted to relieve the country of these
distresses. The longer we remain out
of the Union the poorer we shall be, and
the greater will be the sufferings of our peo-
pie. "The cry of the poor hath entered the
ears of the Lord of Sabaoth." A just and
mcrciful God is on the side Of those who
desire concord, peace and good will among
men,. There can be no peace, no concord
no prosperity, as long as those who brought
these distresses and sufferings on our people
are allowed to hold the reins of power.

qualities of manhood. -H.a

The PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION takes place
tomorrow. 1t is needless any longer to specu-
late upon, or argue about, the result. We
shall know it, probably, tomorrow night. Ii
it should be favorable to our most ardent hopes
and wishes because we truly and conscientiouSly
believe that the success of the Conservative
cause would be of incalculable benefit to our
country and to our State, and contribute to the
peace, happiness and prosperity of our people,
from one extremity Of tho land to the other--we
should heartily rejoice, not In spirit of party
triumph over political opponents, but with a
feeling of deep gratitude for the triumph Of
constitutional principles, and the return of law,
and civil government, and the restoration OF
the rights of the States. If it should prove to
be adverse, we shall submit with oalmness and
resignation, offering no factions counsels but
whilst yielding to what may be determined
upon, exhorting our people in Virginia. and
elsewhere, not to be depressed into any un-
manly yielding of whatever may yet be left to
them, not to be forced into sullen resentment,
not to be discouraged into neglect of their
own interests-not to think there is no hope
for them in the future The issues made are
such as cannot, by any temporary political de-
feat, be ruled out, or finally settled in opposi-
ton to the clearest doctrines of law and justice.
The true principals ofthe constitution, we trust,
will always find defenders and advocates, until
they shall finally prevail In the meantime
Virginia and the other southern states have
other matters pressing upon them which
will require oil their energies, and all their in
dustry-and they should patiently labor, and
struggle on.

an Important Decision onder the Bankrupt
Act-$50O IN Cash ordered to be paid to the
Bankrupt.
70 the Editor Of the Alerandy4o Gazette =
A decision of considerable importance to all
who intend to avail themselves of the Bank
rupt Act, was made last week by Judge Tn.
derwood, in the case Of John r. Taylor. The
assignee reported that all the personal property
of the bankrupt was covered by an old deed Of
trust, so that it was impossible for him to set
apart such property to the bankrupt as exempt
that the value OF such property was about
$35O-and that he had collected money
from other sources, out of which he desired
permission to appropriate to the bankrupt, as
exempt, sum equal to the value OF the house
hold furniture, on viz $3.50. The order of
the Judge upon the Assignecs request, is as
follows:
''The Assignee may set aside the whole sum
of five hundred dollars for the bankrupt, out
of any funds in his hands not covered by spe-
cia liens, as [ think the law should be con-
strued as favorably as possible to the interests
and rights of the bankrupts.
JOHN g. UNDERWOOD, District Judge.
October 81, 1868.
1t will be observed that by this decision the
bankrupt is entitled to have either the five
hundred dollars in personal property or in cash,
