The OH Commonwealth persists in its ef-

that paper expressly says, "if the war shall
last another gear" The orGer, as published,
was given in 1864 aid the burning took place
in 1864. So Sheridan acted without authority,
aud from ais own behest. The law of ma
tious, as quoted from Vattel, by the COM
naomwealth, condemns with equal ferceness
the burning Of Chambersburg and of Rich
mond. Indeed, they were all excuses. In
the calm of peaceful times, we feel indignant
that they should have occurred. But they
were events Of a great civil war, and only
history repeating itself. For from the earliest
dates of history, civil wars have carried with
them more ofinsane passion, unbridled hate,
and reckless adventure and crime, than those
between natious, for which latter Vattel was
laying down and expounding rule.

"hberality," according to Mr.. Daniel, who
still maintains the relation to the Executive
Committee that he then held IF Virginia
has escaped the fate of some Of the more
Southern States, it is due to the magnauimi-
ty exercised towards her people by tho Pres
ident. That kindness has been met by or
ganised and rancorous enmity. Instead OF
remembering the great boon vouchsafed to u.s.
we have opposed his administration ever
since, not because of any expressions or
wrongs perpetrated upon us, but from mere
sentiment of sympathy for those States which
have not as strictly conformed to the laws and
the Constitution as we have, and therefore
have been subjected to harsher treatment
in the execution of the laws.
We present these reflections to the calm,
unimpassioned consideration of our readers.
We do not appeal to passion and feeling, but
the Democratic party of the country, having
deliberately adopted the principles oft Re-
publican party, and the question of principle
being out Of consideration, We ask, what is
the best policy for Virginia and the South to
adopt? We have been covered by an ardent
and sincere love for our native State, and her
future welfare and prosperity, in the course
we have pursued. We know that We have
been misinterpreted and misjudged. but time
will demonstrate that we are right. To that
crucial test we leave it, determined to follow
the dictates of our judgment, after having
fully weighed all the facts and their bearing
in the premises.
And now we appeal to every fair minded
mind to deliberate we'll before he votes. It
is no time to follow the lead of the thought
less, the selfish or the prejudiced. There is
more Of personal ambition in this Greeley
movement than appears upon the surface
The prime leaders are after power, not SO
much for the welfare of Virginia, as the sat-
isfaction of their own inordinate lust for DOW
er and position. The Democratic party of
Virginia is mere instrument in their hands
Many OF these new ghts, who are now seek
ing the confidence of the people by appealing
to prejudice, and not reason, would rather put
their feet upon the neck of democrat than a
radical. They will jeopardize the peace and
prosperity of Virginia for the sake of individ-
ual dominaucy. We ask the people to think
about these things and say whether they are
ready to throw Virginia back ten years in
material growth, to give complimentary
vote to Horace Greeley, and fastcn few po-
litical fossils and dead beats upon the State ?

and ungentlemanly conduct Of some Of his
audience.
Before he had concluded his remarks, Sc
uator Wilson, who had arrived on the cas-

Gov Wells had taken his seat,
Maj. J. A. Hartman, in few appropriate
and well timed remarks, introduced Senator
Wilson to the audience, as he had the pre-
ceding speakers. This gentleman had scarce
ly commenced his argument, before there
were manifestations Of rowdyism, vulgar dis.
respect from number of persons in the
Court House, evidently under the influence
of whiskey, and degree of indicate behav-
Tor, which was absolutely disgraceful. Not
one word had been uttered by either speaker
that was not legitimate in argument and re-
spectful in every sense. Effort after effort
was made to disturb if not break up the
meeting, but it proved Intellectual. Kisses,
bowls, and bacchanalian shouts did not dis

lie conceived and executed the plan of
the large and elegant store on the corner
of Broadway and Third street, MANY
years ago, and his wisdom and foresight
in so doing has been proven by the nn-
interrupted success that has attended
the enterprise. In private and social
life he was above reproach, and at ripe
old age is gathered to his fathers and
mourned by all who knew him. He
leaves widow and two or three adult
children. His estate is reported al about
$500 900. Although his presence will
be missed, the business of the house will
be ably and we doubt not so successfully
conducted by the remaining partners of

PoJ5oNING At W1NoosII-On Friday
and Saturday last some twenty-five diff
fercnt persons, in five or siE different
families, were taken suddenly with
vomiting, purging and cramping, with.
other symptoms Of poisoning. Several
were terribly sick and hardly expected
to survive the attack, and the doctors
were in good demand. SO exactly simi-
lar were all the cases, that the doctors
investigated expecting to find common
cause. They learned that all who were
sick had eaten cheese purchased at Yves
tons market, while others in the same
families who did not eat the cheese were
not sick. 1t is inferred that the cheese
caused the trouble, and Mr.. Weston pro-
poses to have the remainder Of the
cheese examined to see what IS the mat
ter with it, 1t was the product of fac

Doctor, who had been visited by mis-

and felicitated himself upon his firm

An Eastern farmer says. 'It has
been our custom for several years, to
sow mixture of oats and wheat for
feeding stock, two bushels of oats and
one of wheat to the acre. The yield in
bushels is greater. The quality of the
product is very superior the wheat is
very full and plump; it makes heavy,

The receipts of eggs in New York
city for nine months Of 1869 averaged
1,G00 barrels per day. A barrel contains
some eighty dozen, or 960 eggs; the ag
gregate, therefore, was in one day near
ly million. One thousand barrels of
eggs, at an average price of 30 cents per
dozen, amounts to $24, 900 per day, or
