in the election Of Greeley and Brown, the Lib.

doubt Virginia will give them her electoral
vote by much larger majority than she did
the Walker ticket in 1869. | believe it for the
best interest OF the whole South as we'll as all

doubleday an honest man as well as a man of
ability, and | know him to be kindly disposed
towards the Southern people. Notwithstaud-
ing the search made with spectacles, eye glass

kind said by him against the people OF the
South since the 18th April, 1868, they have
not Eeen able to do so. He has since the war
been uniformly consistent in one course, for
amnesty and peace.
do most sincerely hope our colored fellow
citizens may rally to his support. They ought
TO do so. Horace Greeley was and is one of
the best friends 10 whom they can safely trust,
and under him their rights will be fully pro

MONDAY, AUGUST II, 1872

Ex-Prcsident Andrew johnson made speech
to large audience, at Knoxville, Tenn, on
Saturday. 1t was we'll received and much ap-
plaudcd. Telcgraphic dispatches give the
main points of his speech. He said that "the
government has been drifting from it's consti
tutioual moorings, and become the plaything
of an irresponsible Congress, at the dictation of
an usurpiug Executive. He reviewed Presi-
dent Grants administration with severity, but
with moderation. He discussed official gift
taking as bribery, citing the case of Sir John
Trevor, in ENGLAND. H favored the one.term
principle and the election of President By the
direct vote of the people. The reelection of
President Grant would he said, be great ma
tioual disaster. He accepted Mr.. Greeley on
the principle of universal pressure. Circum-
stances beyond human control have limited the
choice to two men, Patriots cannot hesitate to
choose Greeley. 1t is no time to say this or
that is or is not my party, but let us all unite
in saying this is my country. The country
must have reconciliation, restoration of civil
rights to all citizens, confidence between Sec
tons and a reform of the service, He pleaded
for return of the ancient reverence for the
constitution and official obligations.

Gov. Browns Acceptance Ofthe Halti-

ST Louis. August 1.-THE correspondence
between j. r. Doolittle and B. Gralz Brown,
respecting the nomination the latter for Vice
Prcsident by the Baltimore convention, is pub
)ished. The letter of Mr. Brown is as follows:
E,cecutir Departments .JccGcSoa CiY. August
S.-Gcntcmcn Of the Committee: | have the
honor to acknowledge the receipt fyour com
munication advising me the | had been unlni
mously nominated as candidate for the Vice
Presidency of the United States at Baltimore.
For this mark Of confidence on the part "t so
large representative body ofmy fellow citizens
cannot TOO deep y express my gratitude. The
distinction is Que which feel to be IN Il great
measure undeScrved where so many more suit
able could have been found, and yet, should
your action be confirmed, | shall cndcavor to
discharged the duties Of that high place with
fidelity to your trust with devotion to the pub
lie interest, and with the nhcxibe resolution to
prove not unworthy Of such choice. The fact
ciples affirmed by the liberal republicans at
Cincinnati, and was proclaimed without amend
ment, BY the democratic party of Baltimore,
gives assurance that in this combined expression
there is sought on y the dciverancc Of the ma
ton from present great peril to It's peace and
liberties TO that end all minor considerations
have been subordinatcd, and an illustration
presented to the country of unsclfish patriotism
rather than any sticking for party advantage,
which should convince all Of the perfect sincerity
of this movement.
1t has involved no surrender on either part of
any former convictions. Ii has not been ncgotl-
ated or barganed Its origin was from the peo
ple Though differing in the past in some issues
of great magnitude, yet, now that they are set
tied, there is hearty concurrence between US
upon all vital questions agitatlng the public
mind. What conduct of national affairs is in
volved, your convention has well set forth IN its
platform, and its true accord with the democrat
c ideas that guided an earlier administration is
the best guaranty that it will restore equal
rights, tranquility, development, and constltu-
tioual rule
Permit me also, gentlemen through you, to
express my thanks to the great mass OF your
party, which has since ratified this action with
such signal unanimity, and to say to them that
ia accepting this, their nomination, do SO be-
leving there is nothing in honor or conscience
that should prevent the most cordial co-opcra-
ton henceforth in behalf. Of politics presented.

lCOMMCNICATEp.


There is no more certain sign of the near APP
proach of the long looked for time when Alex
andria will be great city, than the spirit Of
improvement aud the desire to adorn and beau
tify mauifesting itself No city can possess that
vitality which is necessary to a healthy growth
until its citizens show they feel personal in
tereSt in its prosperity. Much has already been
done-the many large private gardens and
beautiful trees that adrou our streets attest this
aud we have good reason to believe that at no
distant day old Alexandria, like young Wash
ingtrn, young Baltimore, and all the new and
enlcrpriSing cities OF our country, will possess
Park-a shady retreat, where with our families
We can rest after the laborS Ui the day. AMI It's
broad streets will be lined with shade trees
The advantage Of trees in city cannot be more
beautifully illustrated than we find it in dc
scripton Of Columbia, South Carolina:
This city presents to Its Inhabitants Il sight
which no other city on the continent. or per
hapS in the world affords, and that is the i'm
mcnse number Of birds that people its shade
trccs-the red breasted robins. jay birds, blue
birds, and the peerless knocking bird are here
in large numbers. IL seems as if this beautiful
city was designed by its founders as much for
u home for the tca,hercd tribe as for man, for
there are more trees in its streets than houses.
Nothing adds SO much TO the attractvencSs
and beauty of our houses as the planting Of
shade trees on the sidewalk in front OF our
dwellings, and it can be done at the proper sea
son with very small outlay, and will confer a
bcucft upon all who for years to come will en-
joy the shade. AN OBSERVER.

ICOMMUNlCATED.


The writer read an appropriate article in the
Gazette Of the 9th inst, upon the subject of
School Discipline, with very great pleasure.
1t is hopeful 81 20 to see our standard journals
in the midst Of the national political strife Of
the day keeping au eye upon the very import
ant if less exciting local subject of the educ;-
ion of our boys and girls This is subject
which is not only Of local, but of universal con-
Germ to every good citizen, and its proper man
agcment in our own city is fraughl with the
gravcst responsibilities alike to the parent or
guardian, and to the community at large.
Education; if the writer understands its i'm
port, does not mean the examining of the pupils
head with knowledge, whether from text books
or other sources, which can but make OF him
par rot at school, and par. asite ever after
wards, but rather that training Of the intellect
and heart, which, while it aids and directs, also
draws out the inherent or natural powers of the
learner into the broad and fruitful region of
both physical and moral, truth, where they
must inevitably expand and strengthen, and
where practice will lead the pupil by selidcveI-
opment Onward and upward to the standard Of
symmetrical character, which shall be equll
to llfe's sternest realities, and as we'll prepared
tor It's every enjoyment.
Alexandria has an unsullied reputation ut
home and abroad as law loving, law abiding
city, while in its inner life, if it may be so called
that which is represented by the younger
branches Of ctizeDship-she stands unequalled
IN fertile resources tor the future. How much
of this is attributable to the attention paid To-
the subject Of early education? She has not
ouly had consistent, able, and faithful advo-
cate OF education in your time honorcd paper.
but she has demanded and secured the best
school facilities as we'll as school teachers.
| sec announced that the present year is to
record the opening of another high grade school
uuder the management of Rev. Dr. j. Little
1t is to be hoped that this new enterprise may
be successful, for while there are good schools
now here for girls and young ladies, yet this
one will doubtless be distinctive in its charac-
ter, and will secure for the Doctor patronage
from quarters which will scarcely interfere with
the existing schools. The writer is personally
acquainted with DR.. L., and knows him to be "a
teacher in the fullest SENSE Of that word hay
Ing very high order Of talent tor the work,
and u gentleman whom our present corps Of
teachers will be glad to recognize and welcome
with flatcrnal greeting
In closing, is it not the wiser policy which
fosters the proper education Of the young rather
than the building Of work houses or iaiis to re-
ccivc them at maturcr age?
