When brave and true man has been set
upon by party of deserters anxious to show
their "loyaltyn to their newly adof ted faith by
vehemently denouncing those who stand frm,
ly to their life long principles, we donot know
more pleasant feeling than the consciousness
of having struck at least one honest blow in
defence of true courage and manhood. Such
a consciousness we experienced after writing
our article in our last issue entitled "Col. Jno.
s. Mosby;" and we were pleased tolearn, by
private Letter from, that gentleman. that we
had taken the proper view Of his position
That Mosby is a braoe man, it would be pre-
posterous to deny; that he is true man we
always felt assured but since the receipt of
his letter-well worthy of the man-in which
he defues his position, and gives his reasons
for it, our assurance has been made doubly
sure.
We have no reason to believe that his letter
was intended for publication and, therefore,
rather than even run risk Of violating private
confidence, we wiilpublish only such extracts
as contain sentiments, the substance of which
have before appeared in public under his own
signature

OFFICE OF john s. MosBY, J
Attorney at Law,
WARRENToS, VA. June 5. 1872.

My Dear Sir: IL hasten to express to you
my sincere thanks for your editorial defense
of me which appears in she SPIRIT Of jefferson.
The men who are now accusing me of treason
to my faith are themselves aeserfers, who have
abandoned for success in an election every
principle they once protested. Because do
not choose to follow these political Migrants
in their hunt after plumber, they "assume a
virtue if they have it not" and falsely accuse
me of the crime they are themselves commit
ting 1.-The head and front of my offending
hath this extent-no more" l can't recog-
nize Horace Greeley as the apostle of Democ-
racy, or his disciple John Brown as entitled
to place in the Calendar of Saints. Having
spent the best years of my life in combating
the ideas of Horace Greeley, which found
of armies during the war, and in the infamies
of reconstruction since, I am not willing
even in defeat to admit that we were wrong
all the time by voluntarily exalting the, chief
author of our woes. Nor can l see the force
ofsthe logic Of those who argue that Radical
ism would be extinguished by surrendering to
the control of its high priest, the only organi-
szation that opposes it, or how the cause of
Conservatism would triumph by the election
of the Red Republican defender of the Com
mhne and the advocate of the theories of
Fourier. 4 II
Now when the Democratic party does this
thing it is dead, its life has gone, its soul has
fed. I am sir, very truly yours,
JNo. S. MosBY
Jno. ". Dalgarn, Esq.
How absurd it is to speak of man who can
not make up his mind to vote for Greeley as
being untrue to Democracy There is not a
drop of Democratic blood in ''honest" Horace
Greeley's veins. When the Democratic party
votes for Greeley it will itself be one big de-
serter; it will desert every principle which has
heretofore distinguished it from anti Consti-
tu'ional, "loyal' Republcanism ;-bccause
Greeley has always been, and is, the very
head and front of Radicalsm. Should
the united wisdom, however, of the Demo-
cratic party in Convention assembled leave US
no alternative we will support Greeley
Grant is His Satanic Majesty himself, but
Greeley is his first lieutenant. If there is to
be no other choice we prefer the subordinate
officer.

HARD ON THE MIN
lister.

A minister was travelling in the back
woods aud espying cabin, entered it
on mission of mercy. The lady OF
the house (she being present alone, and
rightly judging his errand) when she
saw him approaching seized the Bible,
and as he entered, was to all events,
busily engaged in perusing the volume.
He noticed. however, that she held the
letters reversed, or in other words up
side down. After the usual courtesies,
the minister inquired what she was
reading.
ooh! bout the old prophets" was
the evident unsatisfactory reply.
at is very edifying to read the suf-
fering of Christ" said the minister.
"And SO that man is dead, is he?"
asked the matron, evidently getting in-
terested.
Certainly he is"
"Well, that is just the way. I've
been at John long time to get him to
take the newspapers, but he won't.
Everybody in the world might die, and
we would not know a word bout it, ("
said the woman in rapid tone.
"Ah! woman you are in the dark"
said the preacher, with an elongated
face.
Yes | know we are. I've been at
John long time to put window in at
the fur end Of the house, but he won't
do that either"
II perceive that you are weak in
knowledge"
Il know that | am weak; and guess
if you had the bilious fever, and had
been takin' sassafrax aud cataract pills
as | have you'd be weak too" replied
the woman, in rather an angry tone Of
voice, aud half an octave higher than
usual.
The minister passed on.

THE credulity of woman on the sub
ject of being loved Is very great; they
often mistake common liking for a
particular regard, aud on this founda-
ton build up castles in the air and gil
them with all the treasures of their
bright hopes and confiing love; and
when some startling fact destroys the
visions, they feel as If the whole crea-
ton were blank to them, and they
were the most injured of women. IL is
safer to be very Skeptical on the sub
ject of being loved; but if you do make
the mistake, take all the blame to your
self, and save your dignity by secrecy,
If you cannot keep from loving.
