THE GREAG' QUESTION.

The repeal Of the Funding Bill IS
the one grea. question before the Va.
Legislature. This great iuiquity
which is the child Of the last legisla
ture authorizes the funding Of the
State debt and compels the uncondi>
tional payment of the interest, thus
compounded, annually without re-
gard to the ability, or inability of
tie people to meet it. 1t proposes
the payment Of the Bondholders even
though it should bankrupt the peO-
pie and depopulate the common
wealth. 1t denies our right to resist
the payment of the war interest to
aliens. 1t puts upon the auctioneer's S
block of the sheriff every dollars
worth of property in Virginia. 1t
fails to rcpudiate the one-third which
West Va, should assume, but de-
cIines TO commit herself to. 1t
doubles the taxation of the present
year. 1t extorts by irresistible force
from our ruined people more money
than the entire profits of their busi-
ness. In order TO put this terrible
wrong past redress. if possible, it
makes the new coupons receivable
for taxes, and now is adherentS
claim the shelter and protection Of
the courts, claiming contract au-
thorized by the late Legislature.
Really, unless repealed and wholly
uprooted il will depopulate the State
or drive the people to reputation.
What can avail the emigration
scheme Of Gov. Walker, if this fund
ing bill shall stand. What can it
profit US to import a foreign horde to
purchase for a song the lands and
homes Of Virginia, if forced to leave
the State. The present Legislature
has boldly and admirably defed and
stamped upon the pitilul plea of
those bondholdcrs that some Of these
bond, are due to windows and or
phans. Really they must Je pail by
widows and orphans. Well would it
have been if all of our widows and
orphans had gotten through the war
with State bonds worth 80 and co cts
ON TIE dollar. Positively we will
not put up with this cost. Positive

hill unless the courts shall force it
upon us. Positively we will refuse
to pay these new bonds. We will, or

claimed bv aliens. Then we will re-
pudia,c one third Of the old debt and
leave the bondholders, ana West
Virginia and the devil TO make the
most Of it. Positively we will only
pay the remaining two-thirds IS zap

THE GOSPEL OF LABOR.
(IThdt the South says to her Children.)

Ihave smOoth'd my forehead from its sadness;
IT'S over! Thank Heaven therefor!
l would hide now with garments of gladness
The sackcloth and ashes of war.
Not a word of the past! 1t has persisted,
Gone down in its beauty and bloom:
Yet because it so proudly was cherished,
Shall we sigh out our years at its tomb
BY the duty and honor undauted,
Still steadfast and stern as can be {?
By the laurels Jackson has planted,
By the hopes that we buried with Lee
Let us wrest from the future the guerdOns
That no resolute purpose belong;
Let us fling from our-spirits their burdens,
And quit US like men, and be strong!
bring you, compatriOts, brothers,
(As largess ye dare not disdain,
Like Natures, that bOuntiful monther's,)
Savannahs as smooth as the main.
My valleys shall whiten all over
With SHOWS never born of the cold,
And grain like Midas shall cover
Every slope that it touches with gold.
The clink of the artisans hammer
Shall scare from the forest it glooms,
In the brake shall the water-fowl's clamOr
Be drowned by the clash of the looms.
Then up from your torpOr, We sleepers
The dream ye are dreaming deceives;
Go forth to the fields with the reapers,
And garner the prodigal sheaves.
With focks gladden. meadow and mountain,
With tinkling herds speckle each hill,
And blend with the splash of the fountain
The rumble and roar Of the mill.
Brave hearts that have welded the sabre,
Staunch spirits that stood by the gun,
Take heed to the Gospel of labor;
The old dispensation is done!
Put hands TO the plow of endeavor.
Plant foot in the deep furrowed track;
Set face to the future, and never
One wavering moment look back,
For none who despairingly centre
Their thoughts on the by gone, and ban
The Present, are fitted to enter
The on-coming kingdom of man!

Resignation of DIR. SrvicE.

We are able TO announce definitely
the resignation of DIR. Sewer late
Senator for our 1st Tenn, District.
Since the opening of the session the
radical papers Of East Tennessee
have taken pains to show that DIR.
Sewer has been badly treated by the
democratic party of the State in their
failure 10 make him speaker of the
Senate. They have assumed for him
the functions of sympathy and re,
dress for his defeat. and have suggeS
ted and urged the Propriety of the
transfer of his allegiance 10 The radi-
cal party. DIR. Sewer has by his
resignation and the refusal to assign
any other reason for it, left the peO
pie to believe that he has accepted
these kiud offers aud allowed the
radical party to appropriate him. The
popular conclusion may be wrong,
and if so oar late Senator should
take an early opportunity to correct
it. Bat in proof that he claimed the
spcakcrship rs the price of his CO.
operation with the democracy it will,
though not yet conclusive, be not
admissible to reproduce the follow
ing which We clip from those radical
journals which have taken him speci-
ally in charge:
RESIGNATIoN.-A report. well au-
ihenucated, reaches Us that our Sena-
tor, Hon. w. II. Sewer has resigned.
We give the report our unheSltating
credenCe, for we can not see how a
man OF DIR. SEWERS refinement, cul-
'ure, dignity and patriotism could en-
dure, for another session, the humllla-
ton of being mixed up with such a
herd of ignoramOuses and corruption
ISIS as he was been compelled to asSo-
yiate with As public servant he
has faithfully and conscientiously
performed hls duty, but his wise coun-
sells, honest zeal, liberal views and pa
triotic efforts were unavailing against
the Vaccinations OF corruption and
the intense stupidities of a prejudice.
He has failed, where no man of his
kind could bc successful, and his con-
sJituency applaud and appropriate his

WE arc reliably informed that Dr.
w. r.. Sewer, of Jonesboro', has sent

the animal, and added handful OF
common salt to it while stirring,
which Immediately tnrped i crimson,
aud the stirring being discontinued,
it renamed fluid. The change Of
color awakened his curiosity. The
butcher could give, him NO explina.
ton Of the phenomenon, except that
- kept it from jellying and spelling.
The doctor seized . vessel, caught
some blood, and made several expe.
riments by putting salt into it, aud
found that the blacklist blood was in.
stantly changed into bright verm,l.
lion by salt. "And," said he, "here
is fact that may lead to practical
rule" He has observed, in cases Of
yellow fever in the army, that the
blood drawn was very black and
fluid. and on adding salt it became
vermillion and retained It's treshness;
whereas, putridity Of the blood is one
OF the a,acteristlcs Of yellow fever.
He therefore abandoned the usual
mode OF treating it, aud gave his pa.
tients mixture OF various salts, and
in a very short time reduced tho
mortality Of fever in the West Indies
from one in five to ono in fifty.

A correspondent OF the New York
Commercial Adr<Ttisser tells how some
English grooms At Saratoga are
teaching Yankees tho care Of horses
To-day / asked one Of these
crooms, who has spent twenty years
IN the stables OF royalty, what he had
to say about our American way OF
taking care Of horse.
why, sir" said he, you don't
take good care Of your horses; you
think you dc, but you don't"
"Why ?" l asked.
because, when a horse comes in
all wet with Precipitation, you let
him stand III the stable and dry with
all the DIRT on. In England, We take
the horse a. he comes in from drive,
sprinkle. blood. warm water all over
him, from his head to his feet. Then
we scrape him down and blanket
him, rubbing his legs and face dry.
Thus, in an hour he is clean and dry,
and ready to takc good feed, while,
with your way, he will stand aud
swelter for hours, and finally dry,
sticky aud dirty. Our horses never
take cold. We never use curry:
comb. You scratch your horses too
hard. The only care necessary is to
have the water not too cold then
battle them quick, and blanket them
instantly, while you are rubbing
their logs"
