Since this really well-conducted
Magazine became incorporated with
"The Land We Love-" IL has not only
well sustained its earlier reputation,

fact that it is purely Southern enter

THE RESULT.

AS the ballots are not counted until
Thursday morning, and as we 60 to
press early on Thursday evening, in
order to have our paper ready for dis
tribution on Friday morning, it is OBJ
viously impossible for us to give the re-
suit in to-day's paper. 1t is evident,
however, that with registered white
majority o: $4,000, nothing but the
grossest fraud or the most inexcusable
derelicton of duty on the part Of the
whites can prevent the election of Walk
er and a. Conservative Legislature
Let lis not doubt that this will be the
glad tidings. But, in any event, let us
"stand like the anvil.n
p. S.-Walker has carried the State
by from 40 to $4,000 majority. Wells il
horribly, h1deously beaten. We have
six Congressman, Conservative Leg

tory is overwhelming. The news il
enough to gladden. the heart of deat
man. Let all the living rejoice exceed

A SMALL CLOUD.

We are living in strange tlmes-in
times too, of great transition. No
man is prophetic enough to uplift the
curtain that separates us from the fu-
ture, near or remote, Still, coming
events do sometimes cast their dim
shadows before them and give warlng
to the blind generation that owns moth
ing but the present, of what is to come
after. The following brief telegram is
one of the most significant we have
read for many a day. 1t is from st.
Louis and is in these words

AN EXCELLENT HOTEL.

Until we stepped out Of the cars at
staunton, we had totally forgotten the
fact that our old friend Bledsoe, who
had done so much to establish the fame
of "the Washington" in Lynchbuig,
was in charge of the American Hotel.
A confounded snack at Gordonsville
wholly untitled us for the magnificent
dinner which Bledsoe had prepared for
his guests that day, but the loss OF that
dinner, though it went very hard with
us, shall not prevent us from saying
that if there is man in Virginia who
knows how to keep a better house than
Bledsoe, NC defy you or any other man
to put your finger on him.

THEIR NAMES.

About hundred of our subscribers
have never paid and apparently never
intend to pay. Threats and entreaties
are alike useless, Sending bills is but
a waste of letter paper, labor and pos
tage stamps. We have serious notion
of publishing their names, with the
amounts due, and keeping them stand
ing in the paper to be read of all men.
Wen do it yet. We're desperate.

THE ELECTION.

The victory is overwhelming. We
have carried
The State ti.ket-WALKER tor Cover
nor; LEWIS for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS !;
Taylor for Attorney General;
The Legislature by decided major
ity on joint ballot; and
Six Congressmen-vsZ.;
SEGAR, Congressman az Large.
Booker (uncertain), in the 4th dis
trict.
R1DGwAY, in the 5th district.
MILNEs, in the 9th district.
MCKENZIE, in the 18th district.
GIBSON, in the SCh district.
DR.. NORTON (colored), OF Williams
burg, will be no doubt elected in the
first district. He is, we believe, Con-
sentative, and opposes AVER. the bitter
Radical from the North. We shall
consider NoRToN's election victory.
SO that there are only two that may
be now conceded to the Destructives :
the second, in which the notorious
PLATT will probably prevail, and this
Inflated district, the third, IN which
the very obnoxious PORTER will proba-
bly, be elected.
Our object has been mainly directed
to saving the State. So that our sue
cess with the congressional ticket has
been admirable Richmond Dispatch.

PASSING AWAY.

Do you know, dear Reader, you who
love Virginia and her people with apure
and true love, and are beloved by them
in turn, that your devotion and mine
is passing insensibly away? 1t is even
SO. Attachment to States, reverence
for State lines and State institutions
these are slipping quietly aside, and CIV
ing place to the new ideas of the new
age. Deny it as scornfully and bitter
ly as we may, it is nevertheless so. A
broader, not perhaps a better, view is
beginning to obtain; and what we have

MONEY.

Money is a bad egg, any way. TO
owe it is bad, to be owed it is Bladder
To be dunned is horrible, but to dun and
dun to no purpose, is horribler. Take
a case. A man owes you forty or fifty
dollars. He has no idea Of paying you,
and you know it. lie never pays any
body. He is rascal. You have no
way of making your money, and, being
justly indignant, you would like to
take 1t out oil his hide. You try it,
You succeed or fall--thrash or get
thrashed, and in either case there is
a row, fuss, rumpus, public talk, eject
for which money will not pay. And
the worst of it is, you have your fuss
and you don't get your money. Ding
nation 1t is hard old world anyhow
and we intend to climb tree.

loved than Father O'Keefe.
We were reared in the belief that
Catholic priests were devils incarnate.
An act of kindness from one Of them at
Cape May many years ago dispelled
this miserable delusion; and since then
the more we have seen OF them the more
we have liked them.
Moreover we like beyond measure

THE READING DISEASE.

Strange to say, disease not treated
in any of the books is caused by tile
books themselves, or by any printed
matter. During his waking moments
the patient is never easy unless he is
reading. 1t matters little what he
reads--a book, pamphlet, newspaper,
any printed thing will do. Converse
ton even with best frlends loses its at
fractions. Exercise is distasteful, work
of any sort horrible. The patient will
not so much as allow himself to indulge
IN reverie. Reading, reading, reading,
all the time. If forced into company,
he will stealthily edge his way sto the
book-table and, in defiance Of all rules
of politeness, begin reading. Oi course
all this reading is of no more benefit
than so much water poured into sieve.
1t is morbid condition, accompanied
generally by impaired digestion and q
.disordeIed nervous system. We have
often had the disease, and indeed we
are seldom entirely free from it. 1t is
dissipation anal gous to that OF alco-
hol, tobacco or opium, and the cure is
the same-total abstinence, either by a
forced deprivation or a resolute and
prolonged act of the will, Fishing
hunting, travel and tho society Of Ia
dies are excellent alternatives, which, If
persisted in will effect cure. DIR. ii.

ARCHIVES OF THE CONFEDERATE GOV
EMINENT.

The so-called archives of the Confed-
crate Government are about to be
thrown open to the access and exami-
nation of all inquirers, under certain
restrictions. This determination, it is
stated, has been taken by President
Grant.
They have hitherto been under con-
troll of the War Department, and APP
plicants have heretofore been refused
the privilege now to be granted.
These applications have been made
for historical purposes; but we learn
that they are likely to disappoint those
who have hitherto placed so much value
upon them as matters of such histori-
cal Importance.
