A Glowing Tribute 10 virginia.

One of the handsomest and most
eloquent panegyrics that has ever
been passed upon the Virginia Conser-
NATIVES and upon the old Common
wealth was pronounced by General
Duke in speech delivered in Ken
lucky. 1t Is as follows:
would point the Southern men OF
Kentucky to the example of the Vir-
ginia Conservatives ; what they can
afford to do, we, too, can do without
dishOnOr. Glorious, matchless old
Virginia. Heroic In war, wise and
moderate in peace, constant and
faithful always. She has never fail
ed to do her whole duty; she has new
er compromised her dignity; she has
known how to accept the Inevitable
without one sacrifice of principles or
the slightest stain upon her honor.
The ancestral spirit still animates her
people; the spirits of their dead faith
ers still guide and impel them, and
in that sacred council, among those
Penates, sits highest Robert Lee,
worthier hypothesis for the perfect
courage with whichs he advised his
countrymen, when desperate with
disaster, to thoughts and acts of
peace, than for genius and valor
| which achieved his victories.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. 2s.-Infor-
nation has been received here from
York and the adjoining counties of
Spartansburg and Chester stating
that great excitement exists there,
owing to the summary proceedings OF
the United States Marshal and
troops. Forty-four citizens were ar
rested and crammed into q Jail which
is already full of negroes. Several
hundred citizens have deserted their
homes in consequence of wholesale
arrests, and sought refuge in the
woods until an opportunity presents
itself to seek safety in more distant
fight.
A reign of terror exists in that en-
tire section of the State, and depre-
dations are being committed on the
property of citizens who have fed by
negroes and other evil disposed per-
sons.
A fight is said to have taken place
on Broad River, between band OF
Kuklux and some United States
troops, and the conflict was so severe
that reinforcements have been called
for.

have, yet, become the favored class

SLAVERY In the South, was invid-
iously called chattei slavery, bccsuse
its subjects were bought and spld.--
Slavery In ths North, differs from 1t,
only In color, the white slaves being
bought md sold openly, as IN slave
mart, and Grant has bought enough
of them to work all the cotton lands
in the South. The trsac In blacks
was compulsory, as 20 them, that, in
white slaves is voluntary, on their
part, and, therefore, u thousand times
more degrading 10 slave and master.
Before the war, slavery was sectional,
now 1t is co-extensive with the I'm
ion, and the extension OF the area of
slavery must he accepted as one of
the Issues settled Ivy the war.
FRANK BLAIR has delivered n
speech on the situation, Ia which he
urges the rigid maintainance of the
Democratic organization, but advises
the nomination ola moderate Repub-
lican, as the best move to check mate
the administration, and crush farther
efforts Mt Capitalization. The plea Is
plausible, II not disintercsted. The
South, however, will take time to
consider the proposition and, at the
proper time, will be found upholding
what seems best for itself and the
preservation of free government, on
the basis Of the original constitution.
GOVERNOR Browns message Is a
clear, and able State paper, setting
forth the finances of the State, in a
perspicuous and concise manner. It
also makes some admirable recon-
mendations to the Legislature, which
we hope will be acted upon, and
pledges the Executive power and in
fluence to the suppression Of crime,
no matter who may be the criminals.
We have not space for 1t, this week,
will endeavor to lay it before our
readers in the next issue.
