Men of virginia

Only two weeks remain. The election takes
place on the 9Th Of November. The State
elections which have been recently carried by
fraud embolden the plunderers to hope they
may lay their heavy, and grimy paws upon this
poor old Commonwealth. To degrade this
State to their level and subject it to their ra-
pacity has long been an object dear to their
hearts, The defeats they have sustained have
only served TO sharpen their appetites, and if
they could only throttle the old State they
would take rich revenge for the soorn and
discontinue they have encountered in the past.
Virginia in the hands of the carpet-baggers
and their raven0us aliles-ner iate would be
worse than that of South Carolina. The vul-
lures are Whetting their beaks for the goodiy
repast.
It is for the people Of Virginia to determine
whether this cruel fate shall befal them. 1t
is at their option to maintain control Of their
own affairs, or by inection to surrender it to
these obscene birds. There is no detection
among them. Here and there may be found a
mercenary. who imagines the occasion oppor-
tune for Separating himself from the commu-
nifty in which he resides and to join the plum
derers, but this set carry no Weight-they are
objects Of abhorrence-not Of imitation, The
mass Of the people Of the State are as stead
fast as ever In their approval Of the Conserva-
tive cause, which has protected them for three
years FROM the devouring rage of the carpet
baggers They hold that pestiferous crew in
the same detestation as Of yore, but With their
detestation is mingled too much contempt
This feeling has engendered ever weening con-
fidence-which is the only source OF danger to
them. If they take no interest in the election,
and do not attend the polls, they will find them
selves at the mercy Of the enemy, and have nc
one to reproach but themselves.
Only a short time remains for action, and
that should be diligently employed, if we would
escape the disgrace and ruin Of Radical rule.
We invoke our canyassers Of every grade to
bestir themselves at once-invade every neigh
borhood and every corner of it, and take effec'
tive steps 10 induce every Conservative, white
or black, to attend the polls. 1t will be poor
salve to the modification TO be told after the
election that it was lost by apathy and indii-
ference Whatever others do, let US maintain
the integrity Of the old Commonwealth. Rich

Hon. i T. HARRIS, of Rockingham
REGISTER and Vote.

Those who have not registered heretofore
must register on or before next Saturday or
thew will not be entitled to vote on the 5th day
of November, when every conservative vote
should be cast for Greeley and Brown. See
that those register who have not done SO here
tofore Many young men are now entitled to
register and vote who we're not old enough at
the last registration. Hunt them up and get
them to do SO without fail. Duty demands OF
every Conservative that be should vote As
the Shenandoah VaUey says, there are duties
and privileges devolving upon citizens which you
cannot avoid, have no right to evade-and
chief among them is that Of voting for the Of
ficers who are to administer the government
IF the government were to deprive you of the
right to vote, you would consider it an outrage
and monstrous wrong. and certainly your fail
ure TO vote, when you have the right, cores
ponds exactly to that wrong. You wrong your
self, your family, posterity. your State, and set
bad example, to say the least of it, in not dis
charging one of the simplest. cheapest and
easiest duties Of citizen aud freeman. The
country has right to your decision and advice,
and you cannot con6ci8Etioueiy avoid giving 1t.
If is necessary, By Law, for yca to do so. you
should register as law abiding citizen and
discharge your duty to your country as pat
riot We hope that Gu earnest effort will be
made to have every man registered who is entl-
tied to vote-that all may be privileged to ex
ercise this right enjoyed only by freemen IN

Mr. Ela of New Hampshire Again.

It is said that cells do not mind SHINING after
they once get used to it, and such seems to be
the case with Mr. Ella, Ez-C Congressman OF New
Hampshire. 1t will be remembered that few
years ago he ventured to makerepublican speech
es in this State, and was met and placed hors de
combat at every place he appeared as speaker.
At Charlestown by Andrew Hunter; at Har-
risonburg by COL Baldwin at Stanton by MIR.
Stuart, and at Charlottesville by Mr.. Leake.-
1t seems that he has again rashly ventured to
make speeches in this State. On the 18th inst,
he spoke at Bowling Green in Caroline coonty,
and on this occasion Mr.. Burwcll of Richmond
met and overcame him in discussion. The
Fredericksburg Neaos says:
"He (Ir. Ea) labored hard to bolster up
financial policy Of his party, and in his great
effort to convince his audience Off ezcelencles
and advantages, be foundered about until ne
finally fell fairly and squarely upon the question
of taxation. -.
Unfortunate man What didn't some friend
warn him of his danger; why didn't some
friend tell him Mr.. Burwell was one of the hes,
posted men in Virginia on taxation. Poor Mr..
Ella The people of Caroline condemn your
party, but they sympathize with you. DOM
think we will ever remember you with malice
We have learned to forget malice after death
and will therefore tread lightly over the grave
where Mr. Burwell buried you. Peace to your
ashes -

Under Which Flag?

Despite the smoke of the battle field, the
South cannot fail to distinguish the colour and
inscriptions of the flags under which the poll
tical hosts are contending for victory. The
Liberal banner is of white, bearing the golden
words Peace, Amnesty, and Reform the Rad
ical banner is black as night, signifylng Hate,
Resentment, and Destruction.
There is no installing the colours; and the
Southern man who doesn't see them as they
are, is obstinately blind or stolidly Indifferent
to the fate of his people.
What though the present Radical war upon
the South lacks the ''pomp and circumstance"
of that which closed in '65-is it any the less
real or relentless? In the one we were prepar
ed for the consequences; our armies were in the
field, and we could fight, and when reverses
came, we knew how to bear up against them.
If not justiGable, it was at least bold and
manly contest, and had for its protested object
the preservation of the Union. In the present
war the tactics are sneaking and cowardly; the
South is disarmed, helpless, impoverished, and
the object is plumber and party power. The
bayonet has not been dispensed with, as our
brethren in the districts of the Carolinas where
martial law enforced can testify, but the cheap
Radical weapons are harsh and vindctive laws
executed In the most brutal manner-bloody
minded, corrupt judges-alien, venal and thiev-
ing officials. Grant is responsible for these
carpet. baggers and he declares that, if elected,
he will carry on the government as he has done
in the past in view of which it is clear that
the man who votes for him is an enemy of the
South, and his vote means continued war upon
| our Southern brethren.
Southerners which do you prefer-Greeley
who bears aloft the Flag of Truce or Grant who
faunts in our faces the black flag p Winches-
ter Times.

Get out the Voters.

We concur with the Richmond Wing 10 the
opinion that "the best speech which any Con-
servative stumper can make in the present can
yass in Virginia is that which will induce every
nearer 10 vote. Our people need 20 arguments
to convince them that the policy Of reconcilia-
ton AID peace and equality and local selfgov-
ernment, as represented by Greeley, is far bet
ter for them and the country than Grants
blank warrants and suspension Of habedS corpus,
and detectives and carpet baggers, and de-
bauchery Of the ballot-boz What they need
is to be convinced Of the Importance Of their
vote. Everybody knows that there is a vast
majority in the State opposed to Grantism and
all its works. Each supposes every other will
vote, and, therefore, his vote is Of no conse-
querce This confidence may prove fatal, and
it must be dismissed at once. We must all
vote 10 make the victory certain. The Radl-
Gals hope to catch Us mapping. That is their
sole chance for capturing Virginia.
Il will be source CT eternal regret to Viz
GINA if the defeat of the Liberal cause should
result from the rcmissness Of the people.

himself the task CT seeing all his neighbors, and
