! FEILow-C IrszENs :--In coming before you
as an independent, candidate for the next
Congress, it is necessary that | stale some of
the reasons which lave Influenced me in as
suming the position which / bought proper
to take; and as he sheftpess Of time between
this and the day of election renders it imp pos
sibe for me to visit all the counties in SO
large q District, beg leave also to say some
thing OF myself thEough this medium.
should chceTfu1ly have submitted TO the
decision of the Harrisonbufg Convention
which nominated Judge j ohm q Harris, if l
believed he wasthe choice of a majority of the
Conservative voters of the District; but as
several Of the counties were net represented
at all, and others misrepresented in that
Convention, and from what / know of the
wishes of the people in a large portion of the
District, i am forced to The conclusion that
he vas not their choice, and in a properly
constituted Convention would not have re
ceived the nomination. Holding these views,
4 claim the right which belongs to every cit
izen. whols freed from political disabilities,
of Offering naysele as u Candidate for your
suffrages; and it is for you to, say whether
or not | am eRtitled to your confidence and
support. VITA Judge Harris I am not dss-
posed to make either personal or political is
sue, desiring that the people decide kindly
and peacefully. between US as to whom they
prefes for the office which we both seek. In
speaking of myself will simply say, that L
am farmer and have never been in political
hafseess, that before the war l was Wing, and
am now what is termed a sUonserFatiys Wing,
ana am opposed to RadicalisnI in LA its forms
/ Joined the army in defense of Southern
rights in the beginning Of The late war, and
served in the field IS long as | had the phys
ical ability to do so; and for lh, remainder
of the four years. l devoted myself, with al
the force and energy possessed, in raising
supplies for soldiers and their wives, mhici
they receiUe4. | was born and raised or
Virginia soil and yield to man in devotion tc
her. and, if elected, will do all in: my power
TO promote her interest.
am more disposed 10 exert myself in be-
half of the material interest of Virginia
than to mcddle with Federal politics, but
Whenever political issues are forced upon nae
I expect to cooperate with the great Demo
cratic party o the North as being the only
party that is likely to favor the South. l
you elect me, give you The honest pledge
that will serve you and my State with al
earnest devotion, striving hard TO 10 credi

SINCE orr announcement last week

SINCE onr announcement last week Of
the nomination Of HIN. John T. Harris,
By She Conservative party, as a candi-
date to represent this district in the next
Congress of theI United States, other
can diiatea have announced themselves
independently, and amongst the number
one Of tie Radical party. This cireum-
stance rather cmbarrasses the situation,
and places the success Of the Conserya
tive party in jeopardy. -5- ~ .
Whatever may have been our opinion
in regard to the holding of the Conven-7
tion, We can not, since it has made its
nomination, in any manner justify the.
refusal of parties. who participated in its
action. to acquiesee and sustain. it. We,
believed that it vas designed as "a ma
nipulating movement, in the interest of
particu lar inoig iduals, as the facts have
proven; and now, since the man ipulators
have been foiled and beaten at their own
game they refuse to acquiesee. The
records of the Convention show the dis
triot tolerably represented, and the man
na-.. justified by the committee on
credentials. They, by their own action
are bound to their record, and any attempt
now to go behind it, has the appearance
of bad faith and superciliousness Of dis
position .-l 81 Aa1 IN So
AS for ourselves, who were in no way.
parties to the Convention, we are free 10
act as We nay Judge for the best interest
of the party, and With this view, under
all the circumstances, we shall co operate
: with the Convention faction unless we
are hereafter persuaded that we can. best
gubserve the interest Of the Conservative
passy otherwise. ia
. Tie issue is between Radicalism and
Con=ervatism-not between individuals.
In splitting up the Conservative vote we
contemplate the success of the Radical
candidate. not the defeat Of Judge Harris.
Our preference is for party policy not for
individual pre- ference.

a MEMORIAL, from number of Real
Estate Agents was presented to the Legis-
lature, by Mr.. Shelton, praying the re-
lease of. the exorbitant license and taxes
upon Real Estate Agents. Every species
of legislation has been reserted to in order
70 facilitate immigration into the State.
yet, at the same time, heavy license and
taxes assessed upon the Agents have
forced many to discontinue their bust
ness. We regard the memorial as "a very.
proper subject for legislation, and believe
the release Of the heavy license &c. will
greatly facilitate immigration.

bsi WE acknowledge the recoias Qf 9. nuns

Bills Alneng which is, ga bill to release
from payment Of taxes for the present
& year tbe people of, certain counties, .
sixteen n number, amongst which is
3 Shonandoaa, This bill was proposed sin
view Of the destruction Of property By the
late freshet in the counties enumerated
and proposes the suspension Of the eollec-
ton of taxes in said counties until the.
year 1871. d sfs -
We confess our inability 20 see the
p. Tisdon il this measure, eal regard it as,
an abogtive mcana Of relief, II the first
place, only.a sHsaN. proportion of the
CITIZENS of these counties have,in any way,
suffered by the. lste Good, not making
- the loss so great as to affect the. general
70 capabiliy Of the citizens to pay their taxes.
Secondly, it does nos release. but sas-.
pends the payment Of the tax. for one
gear only. n ordinary times tits oner-
;ai Gus fer the citizens 70 pay their taxes ia
yearly installments, and, should the crops
suffer By any extremity of the seasons,
~hen the accumu laticn Of two years taxes
. become due, ttcy: will not only be unable
~ to meet it, bat it I'll bankrupt them to
pay it. qsw. s.
- fla certain relief, which would have
been entirely proper, had been designed,
the suffering parties BY the food should
have been released entirely from taxes for
n the year 1871, and the regular taxes
collected from those who did not so suffer.
Tie interest on the amount collected from
non-suffering tax payers, promptly paid
out, would be greater saving than the
amount lost to the State by the entire
suspension or remittance Of those who so
ssfcrcl By the food. Also" a bill for
the protection Of Bass Fish in the Shenan-
doah and ats tributaries, which provides
that it shall be unlawful for any person
TO cause the destruction Of any Bass Fish
in these waters in any other manner than
by angling or with outline, for the periol
of five years, unde. penalty of ten
dollars Gas for each and every offence &c.
The reasons for proposing this bill are
very obvious, and we endorse them, as we

How to ba q Pastor.

The primary idea of the pastoral work is to
win souls. 1t gives the minister the grandest
power OF the world-heart power. The maiori-
ty of our congregations are reached not so much
through the intellect as through the affections.
This is a happy fact; for only one man in ten
has the talent to become great preacher; but
all the other nine, if they love Jesus and the
souls of men, can become great pastors. Moth
ing gives pastor such heart power as personal
attentions to his people-especially in the way
Of personal sympathy with them in their sea
sons of trial. Let the pastor be in the habit of
dropping in familiarly to his peoples houses;
let him come often, and visit their sick rooms,
or kneel beside their empty cradles, and pray
with them; let him go and see the business
men In his flock when they have met with re-
verses, and give them word of cheer; let him
recognize and speak kindly to their children
and he will have woven a cord about the peo-
pie sheart that withstand atremendous pressure.
He can then launch the.most pungent and pain
ful truths at them from the pulpit, and they
will not take offense at him for he will have
won their hearts to himself, and that is mighty
step toward winning them to his Savior.
