Err. CRAIG's SUCCESSOR

Governor Fairchilds has appointed
Reverend Samuel Fallows, the eloquent
Methodist clergyman of Milwaukee, as
the successor of Mr. Craig. Mr. Fal-
lows is well qualified, by experience
and education to I'll the important po-
sition Of State Superintendent Of Pub
lie Instruction, and his appointment
reflects great credit on the sound
judgment always displayed by Gov.
Fairchild in such cases. We believe
that the appointment of Gen. Fallows
will meet the entire appreciation of the
State.
1t has been intimated that a Super
intendent will be elected at the gener-
al election in November and that the
appointment Of Rev. Mr.. Fallows, only
holds until that time. But this is a
mistake. Under section eleven of
chapter fourteen of the Revised Stat
utes, it is the duty of the Governor to
appoint some person to fill the vacancy.
The time for which Mr.. Fallows is APP.
pointed, will not expire until January,
1872.

For the Spectator.
STAUNTON, January 2lst.


Mr.. EDITOR Dear Sir-Thinking that a
few unvarnished remarks from a New jersey
farmer, sojourning in your pleasant town, would
not be inappropriate to your valuable paper, I
make the following. During my travels through
the State [ have seen great diversity of soil,
but have seen none better adapted to Agricu-
ture than the lands in and around Staunton,
and [ think when Virginia becomes reinstated
to her former position in the Union. which [
hope will not be long, and the leeches let go
their hold on the State, there will be such an
influx Of immigrants into the State as will ''as-
tonish the natives,'' and [ presume it is owing
to an erroneous idea that is prevalent in some
sections Of the country, that stranger from
the North would not be treated very civil,
among the people of your state that has kept
many from settling in the State. But so far
as my observations extend know it is not the
case have been treated with the utmost
kindness and cIvility by the people of this
Grand Old State. During my stay here have
visited the different State Institutions, and
have found them presided over be efficient and
gentlemanly officers.
Dear Sir, hoping that Virginia may soon he
restored to her forme" greatness, and the Di-
vine Ruler of the Universe will so guide and
direct the Representatives Of the State that
they will govern with fairness and equanimity.
that it will become the greatest State in the
Union, which [ believe it is destined to be, |
remain, Yours truly.

There is a God.

There is a God. The herbs ofthe valley, the
cedars OF the mountains bless him-the ele-
phant salutes him with the rising orb of day
the birds sing him in foliage-the thunder pro-
claims him in the heavens-the ocean declares
his lmmensity-man alone has said: There is
no God.
Unite in thought, at the same instant, the
most beautiful objects in nature suppose that
you see at once all the hours of the day, and all
the seasons OF the year, morning in autumn,
night bespangled with stars, and a night
covered with clouds, meadows enameled with
flowers, forests hoary with snow, fields gilded
by the tints ofautumn; then alone you will have
just conception Of the universe. While you
are gazing ON that sun which is plunging under
the vault of the West, another observer admires
him emerging from the gilded gates Of the
East.
By what inconceivable magic does that aged
star, which is sinking fatigued and burning in
the shades OF the evening" reappear at thesa
instant fresh and humid with the rosy dew Of
the morning? At every instant of the day the
glorious orb Is at once rising -resplendent at
monday, and setting in the West; or rather
our senses deceive US, and there is properly
speaking no east, or south, or west in the world.
Everything reduces itself in one slight point,
from whence the King of day sends forth at
once triple light In one single substance The
bright splendor is perhaps that which nature
can present that is most beautiful for while it
gives us an idea of the perpetual magnihcence
and resistless power of God it exhibits at the
same time, shining image of the glorious
Trinity.

Hon. A. Ell. STEPHENS. have seen
(says the Macon 1etegroph) letter from this
gentleman, dated Charlottesville, 17th Instant,
In which the writer says:
i am now a little better than have been
am able to sit up, read and write little but
cannot walk or even stand without assistance.
Please accept my thanks for the interest
you manifest in my we'll being, both physical
and spiritual. Be assured [ am perfectly re-
signed to the will of God in all my affections
l endeavOr, with the patience of Job, to bear
whatever awaits me under His dspensation
and with full faith In His mercy, through the
atonlng mediation of the Redeemer and also
further, with firm belief that all things work
together for the good of those who love Cod
and put their trust in Him.
"A leading object with me for years, indeed
from early youth, has been so to live-so to
conduct myself in all things-so to discharge,
by the assistance of Divine grace. all the duties
of this probationary term-as to be ready to
leave this sphere of existence for another,
brighter, and better one, whenever the sum-
mons tor my departure may come. This world,
however much may have been engaged in its
active scenes during my Gay, has never had any
real attractions for me. | have, it is true taken
a deep interest in them, but at all times more
from sense of duty than from any other con-
sideration.
Il now feel deep interest in what is going
on in our State, and in reply to your INJURY on
this subject, all can say is, that if utter no
word to the public, and take no part, even
feeble as | am, it is only because do not see
that anything [ could say or do could possibly
effect any good. God, in his infinite mercy,
only knows what is to become of this country
and its institutions. -
Il can say no more now except to repeat my
thanks for your letter, and return to you my
best wishes now and forever
Yours truly,
ALEX. H. STEPHENS. -

Ali mountains and hills are equally the work
OF God; yet the world presents only here and
there Mount Ararat or Mount St Elias.
SO all Scriptures are alike given by Inspiration
but certain passages have peculiar prominence.
Here is one: For God so loved the world
that He gave His nly-begotten Son, that who
soever believeth in Him should not perish, but
have everlasting life. +" Preaching from these
words, John Flavel related the following -
During famine in Germany, a long time ago,
family was reduced to such straits that the
husband proposed to his wife to sell one of the
children for bread to keep the rest alive Con-
sent was finally given but then came the ques-
ton, which of the four should be sold? The
eldest was mentioned; but he was the first born;
should it be the second? he was the very pic
ture of his father; the third? /? that one stongly
resembled his mother When they came to the
fourth, he was the youngest, the child of their
old age and how could they think of such
thing? So they chose rather to perish togeth-
er than part with either child" God did not
spare HIS Son, His only son, His Son infinitely
beloved. He gave Him as bread from heaven !;
gave Him, not because He Himself had any
need, but because He 80 loved a famishing,
perishing world. Men give as they find it con-
venient, give as they are importuned, throwing
crust to beggar and bidding him begone.-
God, in the selt-moved overflow of eternal love-
gave His ony-begotten Son to this world

Virginians should work.

The Richmond EDening Neacs says that ''the
| abolition Of slavery has placed us in new rela-
tions towards each other, and it will be well for
us if its extinction would carry along with it
many Of the prejudices and wrong notions which
its presence amongst US produced and cherish
ed. 1t seems to US that in the past, the people
of Virginia had great disinclination to work
because they had entertained the idea that man.
ual labor was degrading. It was but natural
that this should be SO, because there was a.
mongst us an enslayed class of persons, whom we
considered as inferior to ourselves, to do such
work for us. Slavery, also, by rendering it un-
necessary for US to perform manual labor, did
certainly Undue our minds with erroneous views
in regard to the dignity of labor, and if it it did
not make us absolutely lazy, at least it tended
to keep dormant the latent physical energies
which we possessed. ike g
1t behooVes our people now to eradicate from
their minds all such prejudices and notions, and
make efforts to emulate the character of North
ern men in this respect. Eduated to it from
boyhood, they work at all kinds of labor not
spasmod'cally, but persistently, not ignorantly,
but intelligently, and as matter ofcours they
always obtain competency, if not wealth. 1t
has been sproverbial that Yankee would make
a fortune where Virginian would starve," and
really there has been to much truth in the say
ing to make it pleasant to our ears-they are
coming among us, they will bring with them
their energy, their skill, their industry and their
thriftiness-they will cultivate the land, they
will put crops into it that it never heard of be-
fore, they will build manufactures. cut down
the timber and saw it into slaves, develops the
mining and mineral resources of the State, and
do everything which will be productive of dol
lar. We invite them to come, we want them.
but, Virginians, are you going to stand idle, and
see these men get rich out of your dear old
State ? Won't you rather put your shoulder to
the wheel and help them, and as they prosper,
you will prosper, too. Throw off your old pre-
judices, old ideas, all barriers, and come down
to your work, like men. 1t is in you to do it,
and we believe you will. Let our people be
determined to acquire these characteristics of
Northern men, and it will avail them much
1t is folly to grieve over facts. 1t is wisdom SO
to act as to take advantage of them. Slavery
is gone. We must labor. The Yankees will
come amongst US, they will work, they will grow
rich and if we don't strive and keep pace with
them on the road to afauence and position, ere
long they will become the ruling spirits in this
Southern land. What Virginian would like to
see that? Bestir yourselves, then. and put forth
the latent energy and strength that is in you,
and all will be well P'

A Lay Of the Olden Time

s. 40 81
s One morning of the first sad fall,
= Poor Adam and his bride
!, Sat in the shade of Eden's wall
But on the outer side
She, blushing in her fig leaf suit
la'- For the chaste garb Of old;
He, signing Ger its bitter fruit
For Eden's grapes of gold
Behind them, smiling in the morn
Their forfeit garden lay
Before them, wild with rock and thorn
The desert stretched away.
They heard the air above them famed,
A light step on the sward,
And 10! they saw before them stand
: The angel of the Lord -f ILL.,.
arise he said. ''why look behind,
When hope is all before.
s9 And patient hand and willing mind '
Your loss may yet restore?
II leave with you spell whose power
81 Can make the desert clad,
7, And call around you fruit and flower
As fair as Eden had.
I clothe your hands with power to lift
The curse from off your soil;
Your very doom shall seem gift
Your loss gain through toll.
Col cheerful as yon humming- bees,
10 labor as to play"
While glimmering over Edens trees,
The angel passed away.
The pilgrims of the world went forth
Obedient to the word,
And found where er they titled the earth,
A garden of the Lord
The thorn tree cast its evil fruit
And hlushed with plum and pear,
And seeded grass and trodden root
Grew sweet beneath their care
We share our primal parents fate.
And in our turn and day
Look back on Eden's sworded gate
AS sad and lost as they.
But still for us his native skies
The plying angel leaves,
And leads through toll to Paradise
New Adams and new Ewes.
