WHAT WILL THE VALLEY EO?

This question asked with so much anx-
iety, By the people of East Virginia,
awaits the answer of the citizens of this,
as well as the other counties of the Valley
Upon the Valley depends, to great ex-
tent, the result of the coming election. -
We feel confident that old Shenandoah,
always ready to do her duty, and to place
her most earnest protest upon the advance
of Tyranny, will be at her post, land give such
a strong blow against the negro party as
will insure success to the Conservatives.
Shenandoah is aroused, and her voice will
be heard distinctly on the 9th day of July.
Let East Virginia buckle on her armor for
the contest, and be assured that the Tenth
Legion will throw her full strength upon
the TANKS of the dark colored traitors who
are now threatening our homes with a
worse than Sheridan confagration. Stand
to your post, East Virginia, and the men
who followed Stonewall Jackson will be
at your side to strike blows as effective as
those which threw Northern army into
the most hopeless confusion.

Keep the NEGRO Out.

We have undoubted autl GRITTY for the
statement that Mr.. Chandler, in the Val
ley, declared to the people that there was
no truth in the statement that Governor
Wells. should he be elected, would re-
sign his seat and accept the Office of Uni
States senator lie would remain the
Governor of the State in order to keep a
negro .Grons being Governor!
You see, that is good story for the
Valley, where the whites are largely. pre-
dominant; but you know that it would
not do at all in southside Virginia nor in
the peninsula! If 'twere not for the med
dlesome press we are sure this little game
of playing different tunes on the different
sides of the Blue Ridge would be extern
sively carried out; but the press and tele-
graph are marplots to these honest game
sters

New excitement is given to the canvass
in Tennessee by the letter of Govern
or Brownlow, published in all the Ten
nessee p>pers, in favor of universal suf-
frage. He holds that the necessity for
disfranchisement no longer exists, that
the recent decision of the Supreme Court
Of Tennessee has shorn the disfranchis
ing clauses of the State Constitution of
their strength and that for the RepuLli-
cans of Tennessee to continue the restric-
tive policy, when the party everywhere
else opposes it, is mischievous and ridicu-
lous." Whatever the Radicals may think
about this matter in other States, and
however necessary they may have found
it to alter their course in Tennessee, it is
very certain, that the mass of them in
Virginia hold on to test oaths and dis
reimbursement, with as much pertinacity
as ever

It is stated that during the month of May
there was heavy falling off in the product
of oil wells in Pennsylvania, and that du-
ring the same period there was only
moderate success attained in the devel-
opment of new oil territory The av-
erage production was 10 1853 barrels a
day, about 900 barrels less than the daily
average of April. A new method has
been adopted during the last six months
to increase the yield of oil wells. 1t con-
sists in pouring down the oil wells benzine
of heavy gravity, which dissolves the
parafine and thick oil out of the crevices
of the sand bank, and thus facilitates the
flow of the petroleum from the under
ground reservoirs.

The Man Who Laughs.

If he be a man-at negro meeting is
in danger Of being arrested. An exam
pie may be cited On Tuesday night
last after the Walker mass meeting ad-
jounrned and the negroes commenced
speaking, Mr. John j Rowe was stand
ing on the outskirts of the crowd and
laughed at something one of the speakers
said. Officer Wood, of the police, SO says
Major Guigon, who happened to be pres
ent, took hold of him aud ordered him
TO keep quiet. Rowe contended he had
done nothing more than hundreds of 9th
ers had done and the officer had no right
to put his hand on him. Wood warned
him and let him go. Rowe laughed again
and Wood arrested him and took him to
the station house. Major Guigon said the
officer appeared to be excited at the time.
The case was before the police court yes
terday, and after hearing the testimony
for the defence the Mayor discharged

The New York Herald contends that
England will have to come up to the
mark and settle according to Summers
views on the ground that Congress and
the people are in full sympathy with Mr..
Summers speech. Now this is reckless
speculation that will not be borne out =
Even the Senate, in rejecting the John
son treaty. could not be set down as 60
ing the whole hog with Mr.. Sumner. 1t
is not believed that the Administration has
demanded settlement on Summers basis,
and the people of the United States will
never require it. Sumner is such an
enthusiast that he is utterly incapable of
working out any scheme for the adjuai-
cation of national troubles that is not i'm
bued with some Of his poor prejudices,
and therefore impracticable. The longer
the question is left open the further the
nation will be from Mr.. Sumner. We
hope to see the day when the separation
between Mr.. Sumner and all like him
and the public affairs of this land will be
complete and irreconcilable.

One yyay to Peace in the World.

We give GAeral Grant entire credit
for sincere desire for peace. We be-
lieve he has intended to shape his meas
ures with ti;a view but they have their
share of mistakes under, we suppose, the
inevitable fate that nothing human con
be perfect.
When General Grant went to the
peace jubilee in Boston he entered body
of men especially imbued with bigotry
and malice men who belong to a class
that has existed in all time, and who have
been the source of most of the great
troubles of nations. If General Grant
had ordered them to disperse and never
meet again, he would have taken very
great stride in the line of peace
These philanthropists- God forgive
tbcm-are the self-righteous pharisees the
world over, who are ever striving to re-
move the mote from their brothers eyes
and never discover the beam in their own.
They agitate for peace, and they contin-
nally feed the fame of the passions for
war.
The whole tribe of moral agitators-
those who blend morals and politics, and
60 about disturbing the world with new
moral ideas and new social doctrines
are curse to humanity. They never
add a jot or little to solid comfort or good
morals, and spread discomfort everywhere.
New discoveries in physical science and
physical economy are worthy of debate
and investigation. The learned and truly
humf ne, who devote themselves to these
depart ucnts of useful knowledge and sol
id advancement, are public benefaetors.
But your misnamed philanshropists, who
would upturn the world and reform every
thing to suit their Utopian ideas-who
rave obout peace, and would plunge the
world into blood for th,ir ''moral ideas"
are the greatest nuisance Of humanity
That country which would provide an
asylum for them and keep them in close
confinement would set good example
that would be of service to mankind.
