from Il. L. Daniel, Esq. the other from

only wish we could publish the whole
of it. The ideas are familiar to us in
Virginia, but coming from the power
III organ of the extreme wing of Eng

weight. In the coming election be-

their ballot. Those who refuse to do
this will publish their advocacy of ne

GOOD ADVICE.

At the installation of a Baptist MN.
ister, in Lower Canada, quite recently
the following advice was given to the
congregation. The reverend speaker
said
'Dear brethren, | suggest that you
pay for your minister daily; guard his
reputation carefully; hear him preach
weekly; listen to the Word wakefully ;
labor with him pathetically, 'both indi-
yidually and collectively support the
Sabbathschool heartily; subscribe for
him literally; pay him promptly give
him bit of meat and ball of butter
occasionally; call on him frequently,
but larry briefly; greet him cordially
but not rudely-and may the God OF
all grace bless You abundaEtly, and
add unto you daily such as shall be saw
ell eternally."

OLD VIRGINIA FIDDLING.

While we were in Lynchburg, Mr.,
James Booker invited us to his house
one evening to hear some ''real old Vir-
ginia fiddling." The fiddler was Geo.
Walker, who was accompanied by a
capital player on the banjo, whose APP
pr0prlate name was Dismal. walker
gave us Billy in the Low Grounds
Natchez Under the Hin. Mississippi
Sawyer, Lefty No. l, SCOTS Return
and number of tunes we had never
heard before; gave them to us in style,
keeping time with both feet and "sling-
ing a nasty bow in the manner which
Virginia fiddlers alone comprehend
Dismal displayed an alacrity in finger
ing which was in such striking contrast
to The appalling solemnity Of his face
that it aroused the fisibles of all pre-
sent, including even Messrs. Foster
and Gregory of the Republican. These
gentlemen, reared ON what Charles
Reade calls the "drawn butter music"
of De Beriot, Paganinni, Vieuxtemps,
ct ID, suffered acutely. To us, born in
Buckingham and raised in G cumberland,
it was a great treat. 1t brought back
the old days, and so wildly that, but
for the awesome presence of the two
editors, we should certainly have exc
cuted a pigeon-wing solo in the middle
of the parlor. Judge Spence, who was
present. could hardly.be restrained from
doing the same thing.
Long live old Virginia fiddling, say
we. There is nothing like it. 1t keeps
alive the stirring old Scotch airs-for
nearly all our jigs and reels came from
the land of the ''skirlingn bag pipe
and whoever has drop of Celtic or
Cymric blood in his veins will curse the
day when civilization shall drive such
Iiddling out of existence.
If we had the power, we would erect
a College of Fiddlers, in which such
Professors as George, Walker and the
SCOTS should teach true Virginia tid-
ding at the expense OF the State to not
less than five hundred negro students.
In this way, we might sta,e off civili-
cation for an indefinite period, pre-
serve harmony and avert war between
the races, and make old Virginia per-
petually habltable for human beings
with hearts in their bosoms and horse
hair sense in their heads.
Can mortal man tell the full extent
of the benefcent power OF old Virginia
fiddling? Suppose each days session
of the Bayne-Underwoo convention
had been opened, not with a diabolical
Yankee prayer, but with half an hours
good Virginia fiddling. Don't you
know that the scalawags and carpet
baggers would have been set at naught,
and that the negroes would have given
us Constitution at least fifteen leger
lines above the present abomination
Dye Stupes who believe in progress
and delight in thorough bass ahd that.
Go TO, with your anvil chorus and
things, and have them played on your
poor civilized heads; but as for us, tor

selves-give us "Sugar in de Gode"and

We have received a stron ely written

in the last number of the Warrenton

the simple reason that we are satisfied
that Mr.. S. will Withdraw. Having al
ready published My. McKenzie's card
to the voters of this District, we have
only to add that we shall give him our
hearty and undivided support, and urge
all our friends to do the same. Would
