Ing about the country, SO they ap.
pointed one of their number a leader,
and broke off from the main party.
The leader determined to turn due
west SO with the people and wagons
and fiocks he Travelled for three days,
and then descended into the broad
valley, whose treacherous mirage
promised water. They reached the
centre, but only the white, glaring
sand, bounded by the scorched peaks,
met their gaze on every hand
Around the valley they wandered,
and one by one the men died, and the
painting flocks stretched themselves
in death under the hot sun. Then
the children, crying for water. died
at their mothers breasts, and with
swollen tongues and burning vitals
the mothers followed. Wagon after
wagon was abandoned, and strong
men tottered, and raved and died.
After a weeks wandering, dozen
survivors found some water in the
hollow OF rock in the mountains.
1t lasted but short time, when all
perished but two, who, through some
miraculous means, got out of The val
ley, and followed the trail of their
former companions. Eighty-seven
persons, with hundreds OF animals,
pcrished in this fearful place, and
since then the name Of DeaCh Valley
has been applied to it, Mr.. Spears
says when he visited it last winter,
after the lapse of eighteen years, he
found the wagons still complete, the
iron works and tires bright, and the
shrivcled skeletons lying IN many
places side by side.

brighter tints and aroma that the
hot summer calls from the later

red upon has bloomed into spirit
that We cannot strike.
II only a tithe of the post mortem
sympathy, which suffuses our eyes
when standing by the clay Of an ene-
my, could come to US and be with us
every day how few enmitles there
would be in the world!
We oppose the plans of another
and crowd him out of paths he would
tread and crush his spirit until he
hates mankind and himself and goes
down cursing. And when he's dead
how kindly we can tcel and what
good things we can say
But reflect that that same kind
ness born into being when we first
found the man in our way would
have broadened the path enough for
us to have walked therein side by
side and we would not be wanting so
much to grasp IN forgiveness hand

all the dead man whom, living. we
pursued, will be happier with the
cold clods between his set face and
the sunshine than we who repent too
late to be forgiven.
Tomorrow the birds will sing
around our houses and the blessed
rest and peace OF the day OH which
the Creator rested will be with U.S.

turned back upon the gray head OF

.'Some day the sun will be shining
On the rose trees and poppics in bloom;
And some day the moaning a nd pining
viii stop at tho door Of tomb.
Some day the hearts happy fullness
Will yield to reckonings pain:
Some day life's heaviest-dullness-
Will drop from the poor fevered brain.
The strife, and the toll, the defending,
The man at war with the few,
Must all one day have an ending
The false put away from the true.
Some day the dream will be broken,
Some day the veil be rent down,
Some day the bitter words spoken,
When the bright things have faded and
flown.
Some day the years will be going
On, on, with new pledges-they mus I:
And some day the grass will be growing
Ger hearts then but pitiful dust.
But the sobbing, the moaning and crying,
Or the storm, though it battle and rave,
Ne'er shall rouse us, so peacefully lying
So far from it all in tx grave.
And down with all hoping AMI grieying.
The loves and the hates passed away,
We shall joy to know we are leaving
Earth's empty possessions, some day.

The United States court.bouso in Uarr;.

The United States courthouse in Harri-
sonburg was last night illuminated, ele-
gantly decorated with flags and banners,
evergreens, flowers, and portraits of our
chieftain. and filled to the full with a large
and enthusiastic crowd of both sexes to
honor the occasion. G. Douglas Gray pre-
sided, and called the meeting to order with
a few brief and happy remarks. He intro
duced Senator Lewis, who excused him
self from an extended speech on account of
his prostration by long and severe illness,
which, however, could not prevent his pre-
sence to congratulate his fellow-citizens on
the glad tidings which assured an auspi.
cicus future. Col. Frank J. Bramhall then
addressed the audience in a straig forward
and logical speech on the political situation,
depicting the death of the false Democracy
and the triumphant success oil Republican
ism, urging the importance of placing Vir-
ginia in accord with the national adj
ministration and the ideas of the
age by casting her electoral vote
for Grant as a national President. He was
followed by Capt. Warren s. Lurty, who,
in a speech of fiery and earnest eloquence,
reviewed the manly, modest and magnani-
nous career Of the great hero for whom
he, as an confederate soldier and an ex-
Democrat, should cast his vote and give his
energetic support. Colonel A. S. Gray
then spoke ably and eloquently for nearly
an hour, quoting largely the testimony Of
our adversaries to the ability, honesty and
success of Grant and his administration,
and reviewing the interesting life of Henry
Wilson and his earnest successful labors
for the working men. The speakers were
frequently interrupted with loud and hearty
applause, and the greatest enthusiasm pre-
vailed. The meeting. which, for an inn
promptu affair, was a happy and decided
success, broke up with loud and long con-
tinued cheers for Grant and Wilson.
Tonight the people of Mount Crawford
will be addressed by @. Douglas Gray and
Colonel Bramhall, and other meetings are
announced in this and the adjoining coun-
ties. A grand Republican rally will be
had at Harrisonburg on the twenty-first
instant, when many eloquent orators will
be listened to. Look out in November for
a good return from the Valley. B.

Of trade asserted themselves against the
extraordinary price ofcotton, and it fell from
thirty cents per pound to fifteen, and plan
ters who had made expenditures predicated
upon high prices found themselves ruined
by the decline, or il not ruined, so crippled
in means that no surplus was left for the
speculative expenditures of former years,
or to meet the interest on obligations thus
incurred. In addition, the disturbed social
condition which prevailed throughout the
South, discouraged substantial immigration,
and caused many to withdraw their money
from the disordered States, and, with it,
betake themselves to more inviting fields
for their industry.
Virginia is suffering under the burdens put
upon her in the past by the same vicious
system of internal improvements. These
burdens, totally disproportionate to the
benefits yet accruing from the undertake
ings which had caused them, warned the
Republicans in the Constitutional Conven-
ton to inhibit such OUTLAWS by solemn pro-
vision in the instrument which they framed;
and it is well this was done, for the same
cormorant lobbyists thronged the legisla-
tive halls of our own General Assembly as
in that of Georgia. q
Anathemas are heaped upon Virginia
and other States because they do not con-
sent to the instant foreclosure Of a usu-
rious mortgage which hangs over the prop
erty of their people, but they will be inef-
fcctual either to irritate into reputation, or
brighten into self-destruction. So soon as
public confidence is restored, and peace
assured by the reelection of President
Grant, the dormant our of Virginia
and States south of her will become active
agencies for the creation of wealth, and
with wise craftsmanship adjusting the
burden honestly as between debtor and
creditor, and prudently as proportional
to the ability of the people, the time is not
far distant when Southern securities will
be sought for investment, instead of grasp
ing, greedy speculation.
The uneasiness which prevails as to what
would follow the election Of q visionary,
surrounded by a heterogeneous crowd of
political acrobats, is rapidly giving way to
a feeling of confidence as President Grants
reelection becomes certain, and if a COM
mercial crisis, which would certainly follow
the election Of Greeley, can be avoided,
and political warfare in the South be con-
Quoted with peaceful argument in place of
personal outrage or abuse, it will soon be
demonstrated that the Southern States can
meet every honest obligation, and contri-
butte largely to the wealth and prosperity
of the entire Union. The issue Of the
South is between g Grant and safety" or
" Greeley and ruin - and we feel certain
that the good sense of the honest masses Of
Virginia and her sister States south of her,
will respond to the call of Pennsylvania
and Ohio, and, in their own interests, they
will vote for Grant and Wilson, regardless
of the fire-brands who would perpetuate
strife and SOW broadcast falsehoods against
the firm friend of the South, as well as Of
the North, President Grant.
