A SUM.

A landed man two daughters had,
And they were very fair;
To each he gave a piece of land,
A circle and a square.
Then TO increase their fortunes more,
He seem'd in duty bound;
Those fertile farms he did inclose
With English shillings round.
Price Of the land per acre was
A farthing as it laid;
The shillings that inclosed each,
Exactly for them paid.
Each daughters fortune valued
In sterling can you find?
Then for assistance in the task,
What follows you must mind -
II cross a shilling be an inch,-
1t varies very,rare-
Which Of their fortunes was the best,
The circle or the square?

arc cheering. Matorities are changed lot
the whites in many counties. Weshall add
at least twenty-five thousand to the white

fcared it, as well he might. He wanted to
c1clude the twenty-five thousand altogether,
which the most rabid men Of the Recon

MAINLY said, "No, Governor WELLS, this

the terrible twenty-five thousand arc at

The Bummers, Plunderers---

-camp-folowers, and "go-betweens," who |
were never faithful to either side in the |
late war, and swindled both, were not
willing to see the war and the passions it
engendered ended as long as they could
make anything by their continuance. II
So, Notwithstanding the armies left the
scene of action, and General GRANT said
in IS that the South was quiet and orderly
and ready for restoration, the bummers,
plunderers, &C., could not consent to anything
like that. There was official plumber here.
there was here wide field for fraud and cor
ruption. These the plunderers and their col
leagues must enjoy, SO they kept up the war
with all possible zeal and rascality- keoeiiloh
they protested was rife in the South. ahe
Union men were in danger and could not
be protected unless the Government was peet
into their hands. Crime, persecution, ana
numbering Of "loil" citizens were OF daily
md hourly occurrence. '' Treason must be
made odious," and rebels must be punished
and made to "keep back seats F" until they
were "duly reconstructed ~. e., robbed
of everything they had. ..-
Thus the war has been continued for pur-
poses of robbery and plumber. ..s 49,. ...s
If there had been 10 Offices in Virginia,
what different state of things there would
have been. There would have been emo
hears in these woods no rebels, no per-
secutionB of the "truly loil." The negroes
would have been safe and unmenaced. The
true northern opinion of the negro would
have been frankly expressed-riz., that his
labor is awkward, slow, slovenly, and
"don't pay" and the less you have to do
with him the better There never has
been any other opinion Of the negro in the
North-there is not now-and the carpet
baggers and others entertain this opinion
now, but are deluding the negroes with far
different views, especially touching his
equality with white men and his right to
vote and to vote for them. 81 aftr.a 49,"
II there were no Offices we should now be
all peaceful and orderly. The business Of
the country would be flowing smoothly
on; there would be no. registration, and
frauds, and atominations--no political
strite-no bitter debates-no unhealthy ex-
cltement-and no fearful apprehensions.
The Daily lniqutty would give up theghost
Or turn its attention to innocent literature
WELLS would vary his occupation of defend
ing frauds by games of croquet, and would
cease to Islander the people who feed him.
our crime, indeed, is that we have n

over the various modes of occupying leisure

making "curls." Upon this latter subject
he dissertated most humorously. He did not

but he alluded 20 the curl rhetorical. He
then cited most amusing example of one
of these curls based upon dcwdrop, which
could be made useful on any occasion.

was considered that he was n most wonder

especially. Shortly afterwards, when writ

would recommend a new breed of sheep
which had attracted the attention of agri-
culturists and scientific men-the by

subject was 81 In the contemplation of Gre

The debate was declared next in order,

for the contamination of toregone conciu-
sion! ,,..
The students of the University nre like

mon. And should they in the e1uberance
Of Youthful hilarity, or under the impulse
Of generous indignation excited oy wh"'
NAV arouse their feelings, do an injury
they will make such reparation as becomes
copsiderate and educated men. a.
What they did in Charlottesville was not
the act of the University. None OF their
FRANKS in times past have been charged 10
the Institution, and the State never threat
cned to withhold her appropriations from II
on account Of them. And the students nave
done some strange things in their day.

What if they we're so to treat man now

set the country in light blaze OF lndlgna-

the University to the ground could, we sup

case that did happen sum of money more
than sufficient to pay for the horse was sent
to the owner, who was go drunk when sewed
up that he had hardly become aware OF his
situation when he was endorsed.
But if men want 4 pretext anything Will

is quite sufficient to excuse step to " re
form" the University, remove all the pro
fegsors, ell their places with incompetent
smattcrers who are mere oiiicc-hunters.
Then follows equality-then adieu to the
University. ......
So much for pretexts. They will answer
in all the schemes Of the Radicals. Say
the Treasurer of the State should be taken
with q fit of honesty and decline to do
something demanded of him. Would it not
answer as we'll as this pretcxt for gene
raj robbing of the exchequer! All this,
mind, if WELLS triumphs.
If the people of Virginia, don't keep the
