FoULING THE NEST.

We see with regret that some of our
triends-good friends they are too, we
hope--who have joined the Walker
movement, think it incumbent on them
to deride Virginia and sneer at Virgin
ians. The same disposition manifested
itself painfully during the days OF CO.
operation. We suppose it cannot be
helped. The party of the future ,cia de-
spise and reviie the party of the past.
But it requires more than human pa
thence to listen calmly to the abuse
hsaped OH the good old State by her
own children in this the hour of her
deep humiliation. Virginia is sold to-
gy;" virginlans "Bourbons in rat,''
and all that. Something too much OF
this we see and hear of late.
1t is doubly wrong. In the first
place, it is a poor way to carry your
point by telling your friend, at the out
sec, that he is fool and has always
been fool. In the next place, it is
not true that Virginia was or is sold TO-
gy." Man for man, the Virginians be-
fore the war, including negroes, were
richer than the people of any Northern
State whatsoever. This day, there II
scarcely a man, woman or child in Vir'
ginia who is not lodged, fed and clothed
in some way. Can as much be said o
any Northern State? We doubt IL.
Before the war, Virginia took thu
lead of all the States in tobacco. Ii
wheat and corn, in beef cattle, she wa
second to very few. In flour she wa
nowhere surpassed; in the yield OF he
forests, her rivers and her bays, sh
was almos. without rival. In thos
higher products for which the ANNA
and vegetable kingdoms were deslgne'
in men and women, without WHOM

They pour their glittcriny treasures forth
Their gifts OF pearl they bring,
And al the listening hills OF earth
Take np Tic song they sing.
The green earth sends her inscncs mp
From many mountain shrine;
From folded lip aud dcwy cup,
She pours her sacred wine.
The mists above the morning ril!s,
Rise white rs wings Of prayer;
Tie altar curtains OF the hills
IRE sunsets purple air.
Tie winds with hymns Of prayer ar

Or low with sobs o: pain,
The thunder organ Of The cloud,
The drooping tcais of rain.
With dropping heads and branches cross

The twilight forest grievcs,
Or speak with tongues vi pcntecost
Elom all its summit leatcs.
The blue sky IS the temples arch,

The chorus Ola prayer.
So nature keeps the rcvercnt frame
With which her eyes began.
And al her sighs and voices shame
