TUESDAY MORNING, eCToBER a. fs,a.
A Northern Republican.

The Hon. William Milnes, the owner of
the immense iron works in the Page Valley.
who is northern man and former Repub-
lican, made speech at a Kemper meeting in
Harrisonburg few days since, which is thus
sketched by the Whig' correspondent:
1.-THE Hon. William Mines, who oams, to
this section from Pennsylvauia, aud who has
succeeded in making the great Shenandoah
lron Works one of the most important enter
prises 10 the State, next spoke, and would
that every man, North and South, white and
black, could have heard his words of wisdom.
When he said that while Republican at the
North he was Conservative in Virginia, aud
gave his reasons why this was the case, saw
how wise was our convention in making this
State canvass and separating it entirely from
Federal and Northern politics. Turning to
the colored people, whose friend he has been
not only in word but in deed, he declared that
their interest was inseparably associated with
the success of the Conservative party in No>
vember. Who, added he, will now make in
vestments in South Carolina and Louisiana
and if Southern Radicaism ever gets control
of Virginia will have to leave and transfer
my means to some point where it will be se-
cure from confscation by taxation. He be.
AoSSu shdt ~ MS OF fenQ-
sylvania and other Northern States who mean
to do right only knew what Radicalism at the
South means. they would go hand in hand
with us in relieving the South of it,
When he was at the North last summer his
friends expressed surprise at his political
course, and his answer was, what would you
Pennsylvanians think if all of your revenne
offices were filled by Virginians, with good
sprnkling of negroes and their reply was,
we would not stand it for a moment. Then
they began to see why Northern Republicans
interested in the prosperity of a Southern
State, was bound to oppose Southern Radicals
ism. nave given necessarily. an unsatis-
factory outline of the effective speech made
by Mr.. Mines, aud but express the feelin gs
of those who heard him that he ought to
speak during the canvass at other points of
the State. His speech seemed to have an i'm.
mediate effect on the colored people, as sew
eral of them met General Kemper as he left
the courthouse and assured him of their
support.

s'The base of tho monument is from Vir-

kneeling, he.thanked God for .sparing him
his wife.
Mary slreeovery after this was rapid. Il
was found that no internal injuries had been
sustained, and that though bruised and bat
tered, nothing serious would be the result.
One evening after Mary was able to sit up.
as she and John were sitting together in the
twilight, John said
Do you remember, dear, what happened
the morning of the day You came SO near being
taken from me We'll. when 1 sawlyou lying
SO still and white before me vowed THAT IF
God would spare your life, / would beg your
forgiveness, for my condhct on that mornine. y
Dear John" brokedn the sweet voice of
his wife, II. too, need forgiveness, for I was
proud and hasty, and since that terrible, day.
have been thinking that have very little
of that charity! that sufereth long and is
kind -.
And then those two old fashioned people
shook hands over it, and agreed to say no more
about it, but each try to do better in the
future.
And now, if you visit their home, YOU will
find that no cloud ever comes to mar the
brightness of their married life, for John
has learned that women have rights to be re-.
spected, as well as hearts to be erieved by
unkindness
And Mary has learned to give the s.soft
answer that turneth away WRATH" and living
thus in unity and peace, the scene of their
hrst quarrel has never been repeated.

The Congressional Chaplaincy.

The following extract of letter written
by Horace Greeley while a member of Con-
gress, in 1S4S, which we find in Mr. Inger>
soils graceful and impartial Life of Greeley,
is no anachronism in these days of Credit
Mobiier and Chaplain Newman: :
Con the third day, the Senate did not even
succeed in forming a quorum, out of fifty
seven or eight members, who are all sure 10
be in for their pay and mileage, only twenty
nine appearing in their seats and the am
nusl hypocrisy of eecting chaplain had to
go over and waste another day. IF either
House had chaplain who dare preach to its
members what they ought TO hear-of their
faithlessness, their neglect Of duty their in-
iquitous waste of time, and robbery of the
public by taking from the treasury money
which they do not even attempt to earn
then there would be some sense in the chaps
lain business; but any ill>bred Nathan or
Elijah who should undertake such Job
would be kicked out in short order. So the
chaplaincy remains thing of grimace and
mummery, nicely calculated to help some
feckless and complaisant shepherd to few
hundred dollars, and impose upon devout sim.
pletons an exalted notion of the piety of Con.
gress. Should not the truth be spoken2"
- Troublesome people will not let the
President and his increased salary Of fifty
thousand dollars alone. A Mr.. Willard has
found ont that the appropriations for 1S73-74
to the expenses of the White House are about
seventy seven thousand dollars, in addition TO
the fifty thousand dollars recently Voted

up the White House. Not a. ALL How err
