COMMENCE TO SAvE.-Among the good
resolves formed on the opening of the New
Year, none exceed in subsequent advauta-
ges the experiment Of the clerk, the me-
chanio. the storekeeper, or the sewing girls,
in opening an account, however small the
sum may be, in trustworthy savings fund.
Accustomed, as many are to spending their
earnings even before they are received, the
figures of our savings banks in calculating
the profits of their depositors, must sur
prise them greatly. Let them take the ad-
vantage Of the season and crafty themselves
with most substantial New Years present
in 1872. By table from one of these in
situations it appears, ''that if mechanic or
clerk save only Il cents per day from the
tine ne is twenty one until he is three score
and ten, the aggregate with interest, will
amount to 50, 900 and daily saving of 27aa
cents reaches the important sum of 500, 600.
A sixpenoe saved daily will provide fund
Of nearly 81, sufficient to purchase
good farm" There are few employees who
cannot save daily by sustaining from even
the extravagant use Of cigars, tobacco, H.
quor, ETC., twice Or ten times the amount Of
the sixpence piece. Every person should
provide for old age, and the man in bust
ness who can lay by dollar day will
eventually find himself possessed of wealth.

We are sorry to notice, in tho Editorial

We are sorry to notice, in tho editorial
columns Of the Wsag, statement that "a
feud existed between the citizens of Staun-
ton and Augusta County" This is to
great extent erroneous. 1t is true that the
vote on the question Of subscription to the
Valley Railroad, being taken conformity by
town and county, did create feeling in the
county, that the vote of Staunton was in
tended to override the sentiment of the
County, although Stauntoa proposed to as
sumo her proportionate share of the $780,
600 to be subscribed. The act requiring
Staunton to vote witch the County on this
question was also seriously objected to by
many citizens of Staunton, so that the
County people were not alone on this score,
but were in accord with many Stauntonians.
We, ourselves, had objections to this fsa-
ture of the act, though favoring ssbscrip-
ton.
So far Thea from feud existing, the cit
liens Of Staunton understand that what ben
efits the County people benefits thcm, and
what damages the County people damages
them Likewise while the County people are
alive to their interests, and know that every
thousand Of population added to Staunten's
present number greatly advantages them
and that every thing looking to this end
should be encouraged by them. In other
words, we all understand, that our interests
are Identical
The Enquirer, however, more correctly
understands the relation of Staunton and
Augusta, as given in general article on
the subject, which we copy below:
We think that all will now feel how de-
pendent upon the prosperity of the country
people of Virginia is the population Of the
towns and cities of Virginia. The men of
towns and villages of Virginia will be ruined
and driven in despair to strange places if
the prosperity Of the men in the country
parts Of Virginia is not restored. Let the
cheering influence Of restored prosperity
be felt in tho country, and its light will
reach every workshop and every store and
every Office in town or city. Make the
great producing interest Of the country pros
porous, and those who live in the towns will
have full share Of prosperity. Distress the
country, and the best in the towns and VII
lagos will, sooner or later, come to short al
lowanccs. Then, too, the growing wealth
of the towns reflects its advantages back
upon the countay. Each aids and adorns
the growth Of the other Injury to either
is loss or ruin to both.

The Word Democrat.

We copy the following from the Fred
ericksbu,g Herald of Jan. 9th, the editor of
which paper, J. Fl. Kelley Esq, member
of the present Legislature. was an old line
Wing:
A very few persons in Virginia, pretend
to be dreadfully Mortified, at the idea of be-
ing called Democrats, because of their oppo-
siton to the Democratic party some twenty
years ago. In our opinion the idea is ridi-
culous and is only an excuse for such per-
sons who eavil about name to 60 over to
the Radical party, whore in reality their de-
sires really are.
Previous to the war we we're as hostile to
the policy of the Democratic party as the
most of our political associates at that time,
but times have sadly changed and through
a vortex of revolutions We fnd the Demo
cratic party the only Conservative one of
the country and as lover of justice and
moderation have no other recourse, if we SO
desired. No sane man looking at affairs as
they really are can make mere word q
pretext for treachery unless he had it in
contemplation long since. The SO called
Republican party is organized in every State
and Territory in the Country, it matters not
how much the actions Of the party conflict
with its name. So in at least thirty Of the
thlrty-six States and in all the Territories no
other party in opposition to Radicalism OK
cept the Democratic is knowH Yet the
disaffscted few would have this powerful Or
ganization disbanded in consequence of its
name for no other reason than their opposi-
ton to it twenty years ago, when measures
were agitated far different from those agita-
ted nov. Have not these persons yet real
lied the fact that they do not live in anti
bellum times when parties respected the or
ganic law Of the land, and only differed up
on measures Of policy, best calculated to
carry these laws out, and to make thom ef-
feetivs in every part Of once happy and
prosperous country. These persons profess
to have aversion to Radicalism and yet by
their silly caviling about word they but
add to the strength Of their enemies by at
tempting under nonsensical pretext, to e.
tablish discord in the ranks Of those with
whom they profess to act Look at the
elections in the South recently held where
We find the word Democrat used it has been
signally triumphant, whereas in the States,
where the name Conservative has been
adopted, defeat and bare escapes have been
the results. A party to be successful must
have National reputation and National
existence to command the support Of the
people, and it is high time that the opposi-
ton to the destructiyes should aaase wrano.

The Prussians have commenced and kept
up the bombardment of Paris for some
days past. Forts Issy and Vanvres have
been silenced and the barracks of Mon
trouge set on fire. The loss on either side
has been slight and the bombardment, thus
far, is reported failure.
A battle occurred on Friday on the Loire,
in which the Prussians first drove the
French, but tbs latter were reinforced and
in turn forced the Prussians to retreat and
re-occupied their first positions. A Prus-
sian column is marching on LIE Mans and
has reached st Calais. 1t is feared that
this latter movement may result in another
involuntary division Of the French forces,
similar to that which SO discounted Paia-
dimes.
