For the Valley Virginian.
To ssThe People of the Whole County,"

We observe with extreme regret that our
names have been placed upon Legislative
ticket in opposition to the regular nominees
Of the Conservative party. 1t is unpleasant
to disagree with those who couifle in and
seek to honor us but we are constrained to
say that the use of our names in the manner
indicated, is without our consent and against
our wishes. We regard the candidates non,-
mated by the Convcption Of he lGtf, as the
representatives of the Conservative party
with which we are heartily identified, and
shall give them our support.
Respectfully,
JOS A. WADDELL,

a.ssas.sg;getion with the action Of the late
nonliaatias convention, held in Staunton.-
wa wese riyinaily opposed to the whole

- against the the private character and
personal qualifications OF these Independent
Nominees, we have not ore word to say but,
if nc are not very much mistaken, we do not
believe that these gentlemen will allow the
tlisaiscctcd few to use their names as candi-

[For the Valley Virginian.l
o the Voters Of Augusta County.

am a Candidate for the next House of
Representatives do not fell it pesessary to
90 into detailed category Of what my course
would be, if elected, but will give my views
upon some of the leading topics
am opposed to the Funding Bill, and
would use my utmost endeavors to have the
same repealed
As to the IL per cent clause of the Con-
stitution, in my opinion, it has been sufi-
GENTLY tried to convince all, that the sooner
the State gets rid of it, the sooner she will be
on the road to prosperity. In relation to
Free .Sconls, [ am decidedly in tavor Of
them. There may be improvements upon our
system, but am in favor of placing educa-
ton in reach of ALL All are now citizens,
and the more they are enlightened the better
citizens they will make No country of PEG
pie can be prosperous when the boon Of edu-
cation is withheld. 1t is the beacon star of
our country the landmark to greatness.
It would be impossible for me, at this time
to give full detail Of what my course would
be, as do not pretend to foresee events be-
fore they occur, but suffice it to say, would
ever be at my post watching the interest of
my State and especially my native County,
( augusta Having been born among you
and expecting to die with you, | could do
nothing detrimental to your interest that
would aot impair my own. In my curly days
| served eight years as an apprentioed Me
chanic. and am now and expect to spend the
remainder Of my life farming, therefore, from
my experie-"e in these two branches Of in
dustry. feels. may be Of some benefit
to the farmers ard mechanics of Augusta.
In conclusion, l would say to the voters OF
the county, if elected, would earnestly sup
port all measures that, in my opinion, looked
to the relief of Va, and strenuously oppose
all antasonistic,s let them come from what
course they may. -

TTaGIEEA AS SHE WAS, AS SHE IS, AND
AS SHE OUGHT TO BE.

Under The old regime, Virginia was CON-
Portable, and her people contented But in
tho height Of her happiness storm came,
I'D swept away almost all she had accumu-
lated in ages. And when the winds and wa
tsrs subsiaed, the wreck that was left was
SAD to look upoa The old State was stript,
wounded, lame, PROSTATE. Her surviving
sons had their energies, their intelligence aad
experience, and little else, remaining with
which tc begin anew They put their should
eEs To the wheel resolutely; and gradually
they have raised Virginia from her desolation
and depression, vivifed her Industries again,
poured the balsam Of hope into her bleeding
,eart, and directed her ambition to higher
pFi4ea in the worlds material lists than she
ever coveted before.
But, with all this, there is still lingering
leaven Of old thoughts and theories, old ira
ditions, old habits, old customs, and old pre-
}udices, that impede the progress of our peo-
pic, as barnacles on the bottom Of ship re-
tar,is her speed, OF as caterplIars dry up the
sguculence of the trees to which they\ cling.
I over Virginia we have young men and old
Aaou who are abreast Of the times who COM
9saheud the necessities Of the situation who
aDe!eciate the circumstances that surround
us who have learned practical lessons Ct
gsdoal in misfortune, and who are strainine
every muscle, every nerve, and every snew
10 improve every resource and utilize every
advantage within the bounds of the Com
raonwealth. But there are others, young
Eaen as we'll as old men, who do not, and, it
eeens, will not embrace in broad, bold com.
prehenslon the great interests of our State
wao have turned their BIZ cks upon the future
md their faces to the past who would sit
.nong ruins and sigh away life; who refuse
70 be taught by experience; who look Ii tess
econ the whiri Of The modern world as it
.shes by them. They theorze too much,
and exercise too little. They are anx-
ious for the advancement of the interests of
.aair State. They are not wanting in brains
9r s. knowledge of the abstract principals Of
economy; but they are deficient in the enter
prisng spirit that is indispensable to ths rap,
u cooperation of people who have Leen
5aF.a;od as our people have been. They want
20 20 back, because they were happy in the
past, forgetting that it is impossible to undo
shat has been done, They refuse to move
fveward, when the future alone, holds out to
;hen, the hope Of living as they have lived
with plenty around them.
Virginia has within herself clements of
waaiif and strength that need nothing but
L pital and enterprise along with them to

overture The General Assembly on the sub
