A Word from Senator SALISBURY.

On Monday, the 9Th inst, Hon. Willard
Salisbury, of Delaware, in the q. S. Senate
delivered a speech which had the ring of the
true metal. The following extract will be en-
joyed both for its truth and ready wit. He
said:
AT the ratio in which Congress was pro-
ceeding, it could in a very short time blot out
the constitution, and abolish the Office Of Pres
ident and create an Emperor They were put
ting the ballot into the hands of half million
of ignorant men, and take warning, nine -tenths
Of them will be repudiaters
He maintained that the majority did not
bring this idea of negro suffrage before the
people last fall. They only took General Grant
to save them, and would not have taken him
grave; but even with him, had they made this
issue they would have been defeated. This
party from the crown of its head to the soles
Of its feet was mass OF putrefying sores. 1t
had sins of omission and sins OF admission.
1t had done what it ought not to have done,
and it had left undone what it ought to have
done. and there is no health in it. Laughter.
In the language Of the judge when sentencing
the murderer, he would say, may God Al
mighty have mercy on your soul. Laughter.
Mr.. Nye.-The judge generally stops when
he says that, doesn't he p Laughter.
Nr. Salisbury will reply by telling one
Of the Senator own stories A man came
along and found Universalist beating dead
skunk. He demonstrated with him, and said
your principles do not sanction future punish
ments. The Universalist replied, it is true
those are my principles in general but this
particular skunk deserves punishment after
death. Great laughter on the floor and in the
galleries
Mr.. Nye-Is not the Senator's party al
ready dead? Laughter
Mr.. Saulsbury-It still lives, and you had
to take member Of it to save you with his
military record in the last election.
Mr. LINCOLN ON CARPET BAGGERs The
New Orleans Rcaynne reproduces the follow
ing letter dated Nov. q, 1863, from President
Lincoln to the Military Governor of Louisiana,
as apropos to the times:
some apprehension that Federal officers, not
citizens Of Louisiana, may be set up as candi-
dates for Congress in that State. In my view,
there could be no possible object in such an
election. We do not particularly need member
OF Congress from those States to enable US to
get along with legislation here. What we do
want is conclusive evidence that respectable cit
liens of Louisiana are willing to be members of
Congress- and to swear to support the consti-
tuition; and that other respectable citizens
there are willing to vote for them and send
them. 10 send parcel of Northern men here
as representatives, elected, as would be under
Stood land perhaps really so, at the point of
the bayonet, would be disgraceful and outra-
geoue; and were | member of the Congress
here, [ would vote against admitting any such
man to a seat.

From the Lewisburg wv. Va Times
Rev. Z. 2. phelng.

When, in May, 1861, the first volunteer com
pany from this place, were about leaving TOR
the east, ii was assembled in the Presbyterian
Church that the members thereof might be
presented with Bibles, and, also, that our citi-
zens might have an opportunity of engaging
with them in prayer. It was Oh Sunday even
ing, and among the Rev. gentlemen present on
the occasion, was the Rev. Il. L. Phelps. He
was called upon and delivered an address to
this noble company Of Southern soldiers, and
during the discourse remarked, that as for him
self he would sacrifice everything, even life it
self, for the holy cause in which the South was
engaged that he had a brother in the west,
upon whom he would turn his back, if he should
take part against the southern people; that he
had children that he would willingly follow to
the grave, had he thought that they would
turn their backs upon Old Virginia Or her sis
ter States, and then referring to himself again,
he prayed that the Supreme Ruler of the Un-
iyerse, might paraize his tongue If he ever
uttered one word against the cause in which
the southern people were engaged, and that his
right arm might forget its cunning, were he to
ever raise it, save in defence Of the land that
gave him birth. =
He again makes his appearance in our town
in l866-nearly six years having passed since
he gave utterance to the above sentiments, and
he came then to rob christian people Of their
church edifce. This he did and the building
is now used, by the negroes, as a place for hold
ing their parleys and schools.
We think that our friend of the LeWisburg
Times has fallen into the error Of attrbuting
the remarks above quoted to the wrong minis
ter. If we are not mistaken, Mr.. Phelps was
not the Presiding Elder Of the Lewisburg Dis
trict in May 1861, but that his successor, Mr..
Gardener was-having been assigned to that
District by the Conference which met in Staun-
ton in March 1861. AS Dir. Phelps had been
the Presiding Elder Of that District the term
previous, which did not expire till March 1861,
it is not surprising that after the lapse Of eight
years, the mistake of substituting one minister
in the place Of the other should be committed.
If we be not mistaken the consistency of Mr..
Phelps is unimpeached, and the honor Of ex-
pressing the patriotic sentiments attributed to
him belongs to another.

Bad Roads.

No one thing stands more n the way Of the
prosperity of the country at this time, than the

they should be put in order. No doubt, the
road system, as it now stands, is defective, but
1T cannot be changed at present, and nothing is
to be done but to carry it opt as fully as posi-
bic without grumbling. The grand jury pre-
sented the commissioners and they in turn will
be compelled to present the overseers in self

contrasts it with the condition Of affairs in this
