The report was telegraphed over the country
few days ago, that Gov. Walker, Of Virginia,
in speech before the Reconstruction Com
mittee in Washington, said he was Republl
can in the party sense, and drafted, or gave to
Senator Stewart the idea Of, the Fifteenth
Amendment, &c. We are much pleased to
learn from the Richmond Wing that Gov. W.
said nothing about either of these subjects, and
that the report was incorrect. 1t will always
give pleasure to those who sustained Governor
Walker to know that in all that he may now
say and do. he will say and do nothing that will
lessen their confidence in him, for they have
every desire to uphold and support him, AMI
to make his administration OF State affairs, as
far as the Executive is concerned, honorable to
himself, creditabe to bis abilities, and satislac-
tory to the people.

o. George D. Prentice has been con-

ten years he has been drinker of the
lignum vitae order. Here is a temper
ance lecture from him: .=.. -,
'sThere are, times when the pulse
lies low in the bosom and beats low
in the veins: when, the spirit sleeps,
which, apparently. knows no wake
ming, sleeps in its house of clay, and
the windows are shut and the doors
are hung i'll the invisible Grape of
melancholy; when we wish the sum
shine pitchy darkness, and wish to
fancy clouds where no clouds be.
This is state of sickness when physic
may be thrown to the dogs, for we
wish none of it. What shall raise the
spirit? What shall make the heart
beat music again, and the pulses quiy-
er through all the myriad thronged
halls Of the house oflife! What shall
make the sun kiss the hills again for
us with all his wakening gladness, and
in the night overflow with moonlight,
love and flowers ? Love itself is the
greatest stimulant-the most intoxi-
eating of all, and performs all these
miracles; but it is not at the drug
store, whatever they say. The coun-
terfeit is the market, but the winged
God is not money changer. we as
sure you. ..... ....-..;sr ..+,f.
'Men have tried many things, yet
ask for stimulants. Men try to bury
the floating dead of their own souls
in the wine cup but the corpse
rises. We sec their faces in
the bubbles. The intoxication
of drink sets the world whirling
again, and the pulses to playing music
and the thoughts. gallopiug, but the
fast clock runs down sooner, and un-
natural stimulant only leaves the house
of the widest revelry, more reversed
more dead.
sThere is only one stimulant that
never intoxicates, Duty. Duty puts a
clear sky over man, into which the
skylark Happiness always goes sing
