Whatever Governor Letcher
mag determine to do, l conf =

pose the liberal party Of the

the liberal side for the salvation
of the State.
! There was no interruption to
the tenor of the agreeable in
formation as long as journey

GINA. In the mountain passes
up to the foot of the Allegheny
the declaration was for Walker
and expurgation, and the first
citizen I saw from West Vir-
ginia, the Hon. Allen T. Ca
perton, with all the earnestness
and energy of his character ex-
pressed the ardent hope that
Virginia would now seize the
opportunity and come into the
Union on the terms offered. -
He could not see how any sane
man could fail to vote for the
moderate ticket and the expur-
gated constitution.
The weather is pretty cool

THE TICKLE WIDOW

The widow Smith In her chamber sat,
She was forty and fair-sud somewhat
fat; ..,-
And with burning tears her eyes were red,
For the lord Of her life, alas, was dead;
And though abe was young, just forty or
She vowed and declared she'd marry no
more.
The widow Smith owned both house and
stocks,
And her pockets were heavily lined with
"rocks;"
Besides she was young, quite healthy and
fair,
And bore her cad loss with so touching an
air,
That all the men said-and some of them
1t was wrong to vow that she'd marry no
more.
A year passed and the widow fair,
Was listening to hear a step on the stair;
And q blush sprang upon her rosy cheek,
And she heard the door give a sudden
squeak;
And voice spoke out. "On, you adore!
Say not, oh. say not you'll marry no
more.'
The widow Smith, though forty and fat,
Gould not Withstand an offer like that;
So raising her eyes, she unused awhile,
Then she said as she cast on her lover a
smile,
~ will marry you, though loudly swore,
When first my husband died I'd marry no
more.'

How the Ticket is Received
i'm the Valley.

Editorial Correspondence OF the Rich
moud Dispatch.
WHITESULpHUR SPRINGS, !
! May 3, 1869. !
In my route to this place |
had the opportunity of meeting
with several prominent gentle
men, residents of the Piedm ont
region and of the Valley of Vir-
ginia. | conversed freely with
them about the great question
of the day, and was much graf
flied to learn from them that
there would be very little divi-
sion amongst their people on
the question Of supporting
I Walker and the expurgated
constitution. The opinion ex-
pressed by all of these gentle
men Was that even the few who
were now considered impracti-
, cable would, under sense of
the perils of the State, and out
of respect for the opinions of the
great bulk of their fellow citi-
zens, finally acquiesce and go
for the only plan which now
opens the way for the restora-
ton Of the State and the relief
Of her citizens from the odious
and ruinous disqualifications
which Wells and his followers
propose to fix upon them.
This is, indeed, a gratifying
assurance-the more especially
as some apprehension has been
excited by reports relative to
the public mind both of the
Valley and Piedmont. These
reports were based upon a diff
erence Of opinion existing in
both districts prior to the as
sembling of the Convention last
week in Richmond. But the
inference that those differences
would, to any serious extent,
be continued after the action of
the Convention was unwarrant-
ed by the disposition of the peo-
pie and their patriotic devotion
to the State. They would not
think of the idea of perilling
the welfare Of the State by OBJ
stinate adherence to individual
opinions.
1t was a great piece of injus-
tice to these people to suppose
that it was possible for them,
either by non-action or by sus-
tanning the Wells party, to fas-
ten the chains upon their fell
low citizens, deprive the State
ofthe talents and experience and
integrity of her sons, and sub
NIT the Government and the
literary institutions of the State
to the degradation and disasters
of a barbarous demagoguism.
One of the most certain conse-
quences of the success of the
ultra Radicals will be prostra-
ton of the whole system Of ed
ucation into the very dirt and
filth Of depravity and igno-
rance. An event so fatal can
not but be regarded with Aor-
ror in every part of the State,
and especially in the Piedmont
and Valley sections of the State.
You may depend upon it
that the wise and sagacious
people of those parts of the
State will not fail to see all the
dreadful consequences Of the
triumph Of the ultra Radicals,
and will not permit that to
come to pass by apathy on their
part.
Everywhere I hear of the
graceful yielding up of prejudi.
ces and opinions to the final &C.
