ROUGH TIIEs IN SPRUCEMoNT,-The
Shell Creek Prospect of the 2Sth inst. tells
of rough dolngs in the new town of
Spyucemont:
We learn from passenger who arrived from
Spru mont on Wednesday : stage that the roughs
hnd taken possession of the town and had caused
all the business men as Well as the saloon keep
10 close their houses: that they got out the
street and proclaimed themselves Eureka ruughs,
and amused themselves by shooting pistols,
drinking and breaking bar fixtures, and even
We ut SO far TO threaten to burn the town
We understand that the citizens OF Sprucemont
are organizing vigilance committee. and we
suppose this that some of their vile carcasses
are food for the crows. 1t would be worthy
object to give some of that class of people the
end of rope, and We are sure they would get the
end of one if they came here and undertook any
thing of the kind. We have tine large Liberty
pole here. sixty or seventy feet high: it would
not take long to set the souls OF such vile scrubs
free Ye would be fighters take warning.

It is very common to hear heated partizans
declaim against the expressions of the Ad-
ministration. What oppression does Vir-
GINA feel? We heard a mechanic remark the
other day that in 1866 he paid 6 per cent on
his gross sales, and now he did not pay a
cent. The laborer is better paid, We have
more internal Improvements in progress,
more building going on, raise larger crops,
receive more for them, and are getting along
better than ever before. Where does the OPP
preston come from and in what does it con-
sist? Let the people think for themselves,
and pay no attention to unsupported and un-
founded statements. The substantial elements
of community, the farmer, the mechanic and
the laborer, want peace, they want stability
and security in the basis of trade, and not
contention, strife and distrust By voting
against Greeley they will secure the first, and
for him, the latter.

tages ana the material progress of virginia
to Massachusetts,, his Own State This led
him into the question Of slavery as it once
existed, and the relations of the negro to So
clety and the government in the eyes OF the
law. He had regarded slavery as sin, and
the people of his section had so regarded it.
They were honest in their convictions, and
now that slavery had been abolished he was
anxious to see school houses spring up at ev-
cry cross road, where all could be educated,
both white and black We wero compelled,
by business engagements, to leave the Court
House at this point in his speech. The con-
fusion was very great in the audience, the
few who had followed some stranger into the
Court House yard to hear him speak in be-
half of Greeley, returning with very wild and
boisterous demonstrations, SO that it was i'm
possible 10 hear the speaker with any salts
faction.
We will remark here, that it was stated
on che Streets that Mr.. Wilson advocated SO :
cial equality equality at the table, equality
ia thu hotels, and even amalgation. He did
nothing Of the kind The whole statement
is gratuitous and not founded in truth. He
presented no other idea on this subject, than
has been plainly and unequivocally endorsed
by the supporters Of Greeley in their plat
form. 1t was equality before the law, which
is guaranteed by statutory and fundamental
enactment.
We understand that Prof. Laugston, of
Howard College, District Of Columbia, adj
dressod' an audience at night, principally OF
his own race, in Bruce's Hall. We did not
hear the speech, but have been informed by
several gentlemen who did, that it was one of
the most finished, effective and eloquent
speeches they had heard for FIVE years. One
of the gentlemen, Conservative who heard
it, and is a competent judge, says it is rarely
it's equal is ever heard. His advice to his
colored friends was sound and appropriate,
and was received in an attentive, serious and
=
thoughtful spirit.
We cannot, in Justice to our owa sense Of
propriety, and the proverbial refinement of
this community, close this already too lengthy
article, without | recoding our indignant
disgust at the gross disrespect shown to Sen
stor Wilson and other speakers, by few row
dies. and our surprise that not one of our CT
tizens did not rise in his place in the house
aud rebuke the unprovoked insult We have
heard but one sentiment 10 regard to it b.
the respectable portion of our citizens, and
that is of regret and unqualified condemna-
ton. Had it been Greeley meeting, and
the Grant men had behaved thus, doubtless
every offender would have been arrested. The
fair fame of our city has been married, aud the
result, we fear, will be not the most advanta-
geous.

PRESCRIPTION.

The hideous doctrine of political proscfip-
ton suggested and urged by the indicator
several weeks ago, produced its legitimate
fruits last Monday, in the shameful conduct
of some few men in disturbing public meet
ing, insulting public speakers and perpetra-
ting an outrageous wrong upon the city and
county Here was United States Senator
and candidate Of great party for Vice Pres
idency of the United States, who came here
by invitation, as we understand, to address
our people upon the important issues of the
day md the claims Of the competing candl-
dates for the Presidency He had scarcely
crossed the threshold of the Court House, ere
the indications Of disrespect become apparent.
When he commenced speaking and through
out his speech, the disturbance was SO great
as to prevent any one from catching con-
nected idea of the argument. The conduct
of these Ku-Klue riotors-for it was the
spirit of Ku-Kluxism that was rampant-was
disgrace to Staunton, and the more so, in
asmuch as not man OF the Greeley party at
tempted to allay the disturbance or rebuke
the conduct. These men all had the privi
lege Of remaining away from the meeting it
they did not wish to hear the speakers 1t
was an unprovoked and shameful outrage,
which will be Of no benefit to our people.
But this kind of conduct has to stop. 1t
has to be understood by all parties, that men
will not suffer their right of free speech to
be abridged. Another demonstration, such
as that on last Monday, may lead to more Sc
rious results. Peace and friendship are
great boons; but self acknowledged coward
ice aud cringing fear Of majorities, is too
dear price to pay for them.

thinks the days proceedings were calculated
to help the cause Of Greeley Il that cause

AKTESIAN WELLS.

Artesian wells are holes bored into the earth some
times great depths for the purpose Of obtaining spon
taneous supplies of water at near the surface and
sometimes indeed, the water rises to considerable
height above the surface They derive their name
from the province of Artois formerly called Arte sum-
in France where this mode of procuring water has been
in for many years. They were known 20 the An
GENTS and the Chinese have used them from very
early period.
It is well known principle of natural philosophy
that when water is introduced into number of verti
cal pipes communicating at their lower ends it will rise
in all of them to the same level Artesian wells

WHAT NEXT ?-The Vndicator has tried
to brighten the opponents of Greeley into his
support by threat of political prescription
A writer in. the last Spectator falls into line,
and suggests that those who refuse to vote
next Tuesday, be published. These gentle,
men are on the wrong track, when they act
upon the presumption that the opponents of
Greeley are parcel Of white-livered towards.
They not only do not intend to vote for Gree
ley, but they don't care straw who knows
it. Persecution and prescription, howe yer,
is the card these enthusiasts wish to play
What other object could they have in view
Do they not know the exercise Of this deba-
ssd and fanatical spirit has ever been the
most effectual means of building up party
Do they not know that it is Ku. Kluxism un.
disguised, and that the men who are to be
the objects Of their prosecutions dety and
contemn their puny and despicable attempts
at despotism. Let them do their worst, and
take the consequences. The spirit of the ar
ticles in the indicator and Spectator and
the demonstrations on Monday are all akin.
There is no Disgusting the fact that the spirit
and purpose of fright and force lie beneath
these outgivings. We warn them in time
thai neither force nor fright can acco mplish
their purpose. They are sowing to the wind
and may reap the whirlwind.

What defeated the Greeleyites in Pennsyl-
vania was the fear of unsettling the business
ct the country. Pennsylvania is emphati-
cally lahoring statc-he. manufactures
coal fields, furnaces, rolling mills, and diver
SIZED industries, are too deeply interested in
firm and solid business basis, to couuten-
ance any tampering with it. All classes of
labor are interested in healthy condition of
the finances. Philadelphia is the largest
manufacturing city iu the Union. Pittsburg
is ousy beehive Of industry, aud it was in
these districts that the largest majorities were
given to the GRAFT ticket. Those who earn
their living by the sweat of the brow, cannot
afford to sustain any party whose success
would unse:tle trade. Hence the unpopula-
rity of Greeley there.
