WHY SHOULD WE WORRY9

Why should We worry? This life is not
long enough
Here to be wasted in sighing and tears:
Silly and childish is he who's not strong
enough
Wisely with reason to fright away fears.
Cares but coward, with courage not halt
enough
Fairly to face if we show 10 fear.
Nay, if it pester ysu, you've but to laugh
enough,
Presto, begone 10. the bore is not here.
slem'ry too often will bring us old sorrows
When they were here did we wish them
to last?
Why not forget them? The fool alone
borrows ..I I.
Present regrets for the griefs OF the past
Can We now change il by weeping and
whining:
What's done is done, and is done past
recall: Sl..
lie who the present forgets in repining.
Useless and vain, is the worst fool OF all.
Fancy, the jade, will too often be peering,
Curious and anxious, through the fu-
ture's dark. might; ~ "r'..
Why should We tremble at what she il

Why should her dreamings fill us with

then; fl' e...s
Now they're but shadows, too fiimsy to
bore us
Far too unreal to make towards of men,
Time, with the presents real grief to be
dealing,
That's not so easy, we sadly must own
Who can deny flesh and blood will have
feeling?
Care, grief and anguish will make
themselves known.
Own it, but add, life is too short for worry:
Darkness brings sunshine, or all men
are wrong;
on with despairing; don't he in hurry
To know grief is pressing it will not

HhHf They Have Done for Us,

The following exhibit will show what the
Radical party has done for the South, since
they have had the sway:
The estimated public debt Of all the States
is three hundred and torty-two millions of
dollars This is, Of coarse, Inclusive of the
county and municipal debts. 1t is grouped
as follows:
New England States S $4,000, 100000
Southern States 1872 600 900 90
Western States 300 900 90
Middle States 81,0O0O00 90
Pacific States 1000, 600. 90
From this it will be seen that the debt
piled up in the southern States since they
have come under Radical domination Is more
than onc-haf the debt of all the States In
other words, in the ten Southern States, with
a population, white and black, OF not over
twelve MILLIONS the Radicals have run up a
total debt OF one hundred and eighty-two
millions of dollars whilst in the remaining
tweaty seven States, with population OF rs
MILLIONS, the total debt is but one hundred
and sixty-two millions of dollars. 1t is not
possible for any words Of ours to add force
and significance to so remarkable an exhibit.

Mr.. Aaron Shower, then offered the following
resolutions, which after being read by the SecIe-
tary. were by rising vote unanimously adopted.
IVhereas, as republicans we believe that the
friends of the Government and Administration
should fill the offices of the Government, and
whereas. we believe from the past record that
MIR. E. II. Sears the present Postmaster at Staun-
ton, is not epubican-Therefore,
Resolved, ti3at we republicans Of the County OF
Augusta, in convention assembled, respectfully
ask for his removal as postmaster. and recon
mend for appointment Maj. J. A. Harman, who
has by his fidelity, earnestness and fearlessness,
as republican, fully earned recognition of the
General Gogernment.
Rssolue@ that we also ask our honored repre-
sentative, in the U. S. Senate, Hon J. F. Lewis.

will advance the interests of republicanism in

County Convention.

1t is about Eve weeks from now until
she day of election, yet no intimation has
been given as to the time Of holding the
county nominating Convention. If there
is to be one, it is time some indication Of
the day were made known. There is but
one authority, under the :'plan" adopted by
the late State Convention Of the Conserve
tive party, to CALI q copyentions and that
is the county Superintendent. We think
it is time some definite understanding

Augusta County Fair.

The Augusta County Fair will be held
on the 18th, 18th and 10Th Of October. 1t
is expected that it will be the most success
full exhibit of Agricultural and Mechani-
cal products, and of stock, yet made. It
is important that it should be, because any
other result would imply retrogression
in the enterprise, and have a deleterious
effect on future exhibitions. flour house
wives, farmers, horticulturists and stock
rasers, will take hold of the matter in
time, and determine to improve upon the
past, there will be no difficulty in realiz-
ing the expectations of the public in the
character Of the next display.
From information we now have, we are
Of the opinion, that the largest attendance
we have ever had will be here on the 18th,
18th and 10Th of October. Oar people
should exert themselves to make it so-
Besides the stimulus thus given to agri-
cultural pursuit, and the benefit arising
from exciting a spirit of laudable compe-
tition, the rich returns to our business
men, should be a controlling considera-
ton in arousing them to active exertions
to consummate successful, and even bril-
liant result.
Agriculture is the life of the State
Every department Of trade is dependent
upon it. It moves commerce and manu-
features, gives activity to business of ev-
cry description, and constitutes the basis
of all our prosperity. Let the people of
Augusta come up to the work with COM
prehensivc IDEAS, and maintain their rep
utation for Intelligence, energy and iber-
atty.

YaIleYRailrnad.

The survey of the western or Glade route
of the Valley Railroad between Staunton
and Harrisonburg, which has been pro-
crossing for the past six weeks, under as
sistant Engineer cambridge, has been com
pleted, and the permanent location deter
mined should this route be selected The
cost of the two routes is about the same,
and as we have been informed by Mr.. Dan
drid &c, the final location of the route now
rests with the people along the respective
lines. On the Glade route, there have
been 81 releases Of land damages, and
$4,000 in stock subscribed. On the east
ern, or Mt. Sidney route, there have been
only 81 releases, and $4,000 in stock ia
ken The friends Of this latter line are
now actively engaged in trying to secure
additional subscriptions and other releases.
AS the matter now stands, the chances are
decidedly i'm favor Of the Glade route, and
if the people along the eastern line do
not exhibit more lioerality than has here
tofore characterized their action, they eer-
tainly will lose the road. Mr. cambridge
informed us, that it was now question of
private liberality, and, inasmuch as the
two routes presented about the same ad-
vantages, the whole matter would have to
be determined by the people themselves
| ho of 4lo L l.. !
within the next fifteen days. There is
not much time to lose. If the friends of
the eastern route do not come square up
to work, and that of the right kind, then
the road will certainly take the western
route. We base this statement on con-
versation had with Mr. cambridge.

The Kingdom of Brigham Young is
threatened with violence, and the prospect
presented is that it viii be taken by the
storm Of progressive civilization. In the
U. S. District Court recently settingin Salt
Lake city, the charge of the Judge was es-
pecially directed against prolygamy. The
grand jury indicted number of the lead
ers Of the Latter Day Saints. Great COM
motion exists among the Mormons. Drill
ing was constantly going -ep in secret, as
though they were preparing for Resistance.
The Mormons deny indignantly that Brig
ham Young has sought to eyade the pro-
cess of the Court or Grand Jury, and they
say he will obey a summons as witness,
or submit even to a warrant Of arrest, but
will not yield to Imprisonment.

A meeting was held at the Town Hall by the
celored people for the purpose Of expressing
their feeling towards the day. AS it was on the
above day, eight years ago, the Proclamation Of
Freedom was issued After listening to address
es delivered by judge Riley and others the fol-
lowing preamble and resolutions were offered by
Rev VIM B. Derrick of The African NJ. E. church,
in this town
Whereas. eight years having passed away
since the Proclamation of freedom was issued,
declaring the people Of color i'll the South free,
and wherea said event has been annually cele-
brated in various sections of the land by the col
ored people, but we having failed i'll making an
open expression of QUE feelings in graf tude to-
wards that power which brought about such an
event
We. therefore, give open and undivided ex-
preston by Offering the following that, although
having been silent on the matter, we enjoy the
boon with uplifted hearts.
Resolved That with uplifted hearts to an ALI
Wise Being we return due homage to Him who
rules the desinies Of nations for our delverance
believing that it was brought about by no other
power.
Resolved That our devotion shall be shown to
the Government for its noble EFFORTS in securing
to Us justice before the law also for its provision
hat was made during the first years of cur
freedu.n in the way of our educational interests
and for what it IS still doing.
Resolved, That va are willing to bury the
the past, looking fol bright and glorious fu-
ture, standing with open arms to aid the wheel
Of progress on. also using the humHie weapon OF
forgiveness which only can bring aSout peace
and tranquility to our beloved country.
Resolved, That we will DO all that in us lies,
in showing to the community in which we live,
that it. is our earnest intention to give strict adj
herence to the laws of both State and General
government which we believe will have ten
dency of gaining the esteem of those whom VS.
once shared the Inequalities of home with.
Received, That will annually celebrate the
22nd of September, looking apon it as a day of
fasting and prayer. knowing it has been the Gus
tom Of all civilized people to give open expression
to their deyerance.
Resolved, Ina in the celebration OF said day 1T
will be dong in good faith with malice toward
none, with charity to all, feeling that we
are among generous people.
Resolved, That as g people we and the whites
must undoubtedly live in the same community,
and without friendly intercourse our prosperity is
doomed, knowing that the responsibility OF free
dom calls for friendliness, yea more, respectable
ity and honesty, as the freemen depend upon the
community at large for support and upon no
one Individual. which alters our former condition.
SO it beheoves US to be the possessor Of the above
principles Without them success IS vanqulshed
Re olved, That return our sincere thanks to
the speakers for the wholesome and obstructive
advice which they srcveto give.
