Your true interests lead you to har-

"THE IMPERIALIST."

1t may be true that Secretary Borie
furnished the money to start this pa
per, but if so the editor who receives
Borie's money has happy knack of
throwing his heart into the business
Never before did we know money to
purchase such sincerity. Cultivated,
able, calm, the editor gives his reasons
for the faith he processes in a style at
once so strong and SO temperate as to
carry conviction to every unprejudiced
mind. We like the paper more and
more, and wish most heartily it could
be generally circulated and read.
One fact is worthy of notice.. The
successors to Blelock & Co., the pub
fishers of the most decidedly Southern
books, are the principal advertisers in
The Imperialist. And, judging from
the letters received by the editor, the
warmest and most numerous support
ers of the cause of Imperialism are
Southern men. y,

WHEAT CROP.

The wheat between Richmond and
the Blue Ridge is the finest crop ever
seen. From Lynchburg to Culpeper it
is also magnificent. Indeed. from all
quarters Of the State that we have
heard from accounts are favorable.
The harvest has fairly commenced on
the line of the Central Railroad. Our
farmers and our people have casuse to
be grateful. Not only is there a fine
crop OF wheat, bit there is a fine stand
of toba, CO, fine grass crop, fair oats

WORKING BEAUTIFULLY.

Everything is working beautifully
everywhere. We are perfectly honest
in expressing the belief that Walker
will be elected by 10000 majority. @
But we must not relax our efforts,
but <ather redouble them. There is
always a measure OF doubt about an E.
lection, and we must not leave single
stone unturned, for defeat would be
one of the most terrible calamlties that
ever befel a people.
Our success means everything 1T
means complete overthrow to carpetbag-
gerry and scalawagism. 1t places the
future of she State beyond peradven-
ture.
From a most humble beginning The
Walker movement has become a furi-
Gus popular torrent which has swept
into its current the entire conservative
strength of the State. 1t has overborne
every obstruction, and gathered upon
its bosom materials that threatened at
one time to arrest its progress--and 1t
is now roaring like an avalanche and
is become irresistible. Eng. and Eran-

THE GOSHEN PASS,

In the pamphlet, published in 1868 by
Selby & Dulany, which tells of the
wonderful medical virtues of the Rock
bridge Baths and of its springs Of Mag
nesia, Sulphur and Iron, there is a
pretty good description of the Goshen
Pass, which is by far the most pictures
que, varied, gloomy and sublime pass
of which we have any knowledge in
Virginia. But no pen can do justice to
such teme. The pencil must come to
the aid of the pen, and we take the lib
erty of suggesting to our friend, Elder,
that he make the Goshen Pass the spe-
cial subject of his summer vacation this
year. BE might make dozen, nay tif-
~ beautiful pencil sketches, including
the Goshen Depot at one end and the
Baths at the other. Append descrip-
lions of these sketches, and the whole
will make capital illustrated article
for Harper's Weekly or the illustrated
London News. Mr.. Mayo European,
says he has never seen outside of Swift
zerland any scenery so wild and ro-
mantle as that of this Pass. Indeed oul
arts. might devote his vacations fol
three or four years to depicting the
grand and beautiful scenes which NEE
the eye at every stop from Goshen tt
the Baths, thence to Lexington, to thu
Natural Bridge, Buchanan and Balco

he would, and that we could 60 aloni
