OF Virginia, to divide, and then whip u.s.
They would rather get the control of the
State of Virginia, than to hold all the other
Southern States. 1t would give saoral en-
inence to their organization that it does not
now possess With no wish to excite an

opinien. that if the two Conservative tickets
remain in the field. Republican ticket will
be brought out with fair chance of some.
at least, Of the candidates being elected -
There is not only regular and Independent
Conservative ticket, but there are two other
Independent candidates running. These
two must necessarily draw their support from
some other than the Republican or Radical
source, and to that degree. weaken the Con-
sentative strength. This is our opinion and
We give it for what it is worth
Since writing the above, it will be seen BY
reference to our advertising columns, that
our apprehensions have been verified. Now,
if the Independent ticket remains in the field.
lA.he responsibility of the result rests where
it properly belongs.

expressly declares that he aoiN not seroe ccen

which they will take, the nominee Of the Con-

the, Republican pafty.l MI 4 f
This correspondence ensned, not by reason
Of any doubt Of Mr. Waddcll's position. but

Any vote therefore thrown away upon Mr..
Waddell, who expressly states that he uiV

This correspondence published only to pre-

party utterly cxtnguishes all surmises as to
the truth of the report that Mr. Waddell

Of excuse for any ono who now knowingly

STANTON, VA, Nov. /, 1871 :.
Mr.. Joseph A. WaadeU:
Dear Sir Notwithstanding your Card, lately
published, declaring that you would not be a
candidate for the Senate against the Conven-
ton nominee ofthe Conservative party, and the
| further fact that you would not run under any
| circumstances, and if elected would not serve
yet, there is being industrously circulated re.
port highly injurious to the harmony Of the Con-
sentative party; that although not candidate,
you will serve if elected. Though personally sat
is6ed as to your position, l would respectfully
ask that you reply in writing at once. stating
distinctly whether. if elected. you would serve or
not. Yours, Respectfully.
ALEX. B. COCHRAN.

rests in the appointment of County Judg s

HEREAFTER.
Time thou universal reaper-halt;
In pity gaze upon that fair young face;
! Forbear thy memorable assault,
And leave unkcathed that mild and heavenly
How beautiful is Youth! The eye undimmed
By tears repentant or pitiless.despair,
Sweet innocents who never yet have sinned,
And formed in Natures mould surprising fair
Yet have one grief-the souls unanswered PRAYER
That prayer doth linger on the lips and fall
In gentle whispers hushed infants breath !;
Yet doth the heart grow weary and pail
Oerspread the soui--'tis undivincd death!
mothers form doth cold and puselees lay
Enshrouded in last yestures of this earth,
And now she's naught but senseless, hardened clay,
Bereft of all bequeathments of her birth,
And mourned by loved ones for her gentle worth.
IT'S past! The form beloved is buried deep;
The drooping willows weep mournful dirge;
The heavy heart its reyerent trust may keep,
And still no sound from that lone tomb is heard.
Eternal silence Reigneth. Passive king,
He strikes a terror to the stoutest heaot,
And never to the wounded spirit brings
One ray Of hope or doth to grief impart
A healing balm for deaths relentless dart.
0 child of Grief! give me thy trusting hand
And let me lead thee las the blind are lead)
Unto bright dominion, heavenly land,
Though silent the city of the dead;
'Tis full replete, with sweet unuttered JOY,
1t hangeth on the margin of the eve,
Itligeth in the soul without alloy,
Utopia of thy Dreams is it to be
Within the pearly gates of Poesyl
1t hath a balm for every wound that Fate
DEGREES shall be thine own; it doth dspel
The ranking fever of thy hearts deep hate.
1t points heaven wherein the just shall dwell
Hereafter in the measureless To Come.
My child my child! Let purest thoughts be
thine
Thy longing hopes will truths cen then become,
Thy spirit with radiance ever shine
Through countless ages Of all coming time.
