MOUNT SHARON INSTITUTE.

Mr.. EDITORIALS the invitation for
you to visit the commencement of the
Mount Sharon school, which took place
on Friday last didn't reach you, you
missed quite a social and intellectual
treat. But let me tell you OF it.
This school, as you know, is situated
five miles from Orange Court House,
and three from Rapidan Station, in the
most delightful, beautiful, and healthy
portion of the county. 1t being upon n
prominent spur of the South West
mountains whichyshades the beautiful
Valley of the Rapidan, where there be-
meath the majestic oaks, one can but
stand in admiration of the view OF nature
clothed in her loyeliest forms. But, the
beautifulcoGntry and scenery, the heal
thy climate and balmy breezes; in the
midst of which this school is situated is
not so much the subject of my little note,
as the fact that the school in itself CON-
bines all the essential requisites for a
first-class Institute. The matron of the
school throws ut once around the girls,
all the tender, refined, and religious in
| 1luences of congenial bone, where
mind with mind may blend and bright
en-, commanding at all seasons their
respect and love, and what can be more
| desirable to a parent, who feels respon-
| si5le for the religious as we'll as mental
training of his child, tc find q school
which combines all the advantages he
could desire.

TIE TEST OATH.

Well, suppose they do upset the cleo
ton and require us to chose members
of the Legislature who can, take the
test oath-what of that? You will gain
nothing by it, my scalawag, Make up
your mind to that. In every county in
the State there are good and true
Northern men who can take the oath,
without perjurlng their souls, or incur
ring the just odium of their neighbors.
We will put them in nomination, and
elect them by overwhelming majorities
and SO the Radical congress will find
to its cost that it has made nothing and
can never make anything by its perfidi-
GUS trickery.

THE KEY NOTE.

Governor WALKER struck the key
note, when, in his address to the peo-
pie of Richmond at the grand reception
given in honor of his election, he coun-
selled forgiveness and conciliation.-
This is the feeling of every true-heart-
ed virginian. Victims ourselves, OF
Radical persecution, shall we in the
moment of triumph, when the heart is
warm, belle our protestations, initiate
the basest actions OF our foes, and in
dulge a contemplate revenge upon the
poor misguided blacks? Never ! Cow
ards alone are wanting in magnanimi-
ty, and the patience with which we
have .berne indignity and oppression
during five years provesthatwe are not
towards. "But magnanimity and'for-
piyeness are wasted on. scoundrels.-
Charity is taken as an indication OF
weakness. The rank and file We may
forgive, but we must punish the lead
ers." That is precisely the argument
which our enemies have been using
against us and our leaders. Can we by
possibility follow Radical example P
Nay, truly. We must forgive even the
worst of thecarpet-baggers and scala
wags, for the worst stand most in need
OF forgiveness, Shall we humble the
Lord S prayer on Sunday, and on Mon-
day act the DEVILS prayer ofvengeance
This is not only base but foolish
Christianity is common sense. What
efficient allies Hunnicutt, Edgar Allen
and others have become-because they
were prosecuted? no because they
were forgiven and taken into the fold.
We are not yet so strong as to be able
to dispense with assistance from the OPP
position, nor can we say when we shall
be able to dispense with it.
In bespeaking the charity OF his
friends for his political foes, and in
pledging himself to accord impartial
Justice to all men irrespective of color,
Gov. Walk Ell. was not acting a part OF
seeking to produce temporary effect.
He meant what he said. He is man
oftruth. and he is Republican. When
he shall have been installed-may the
day not be distant-hIs actions will cor
respond with his words, and the Re-
publican party of the North will then
have convincing proof of the sincerity
of his intentions. And this is just the
course which his friends in Virginia de-
sire him to pursue,-for this course is
for very many reasons, wisest, safest
and best TOR both parties and for al
shades of Conservative opinion.
