The Proper Spirit.

The Abingdon Viryinian, in referring to
says: .re -.a
Virginia, in her best interests, accepted
the terms imposed, and has become an integral
part of the United States. Duty and COM
pliance with the oath we have taken demands
that we make of existing facts the best use
possible. This is our. country secession is
dead and no Virginia man, or woman either,
seeks to revive the animosities of that fearful
struggle, or to instill into their children anv
such desire.
In saying this, no regrets for tho past are
intended. Under the same circumstances
which obtained in 1860, every honest man
would act again as he did then But those
circumstances have passed away forever and
s'behold all things have become new" In
this state of facts, We prefer to follow tie
teachings of our immortal Lee, who told
lady, "No, madam, do not instil into the minds
and hearts of your children any other than
sentiments of fidelity and love to your couu>
try and its flag. Teach them to cherish their
country and its institutions, for they have but
one country and but one flag. and that is the
country and the flag of our forefathers."
By SO doing the time will come when wo
may be once more justly proud of our coun~
try and its flag.

Chicago, Augnst 3.-The Minnesota Farmers
Convention, at Owatoma yesterday, nomi-
mated Asa Barton for Governor, Ebcneze.
Ayres for Lieutenant Governor, and f. W.
Dixie, for Treasurer.
Their platform is very long and diffuse.-
1t denounces the existing political parties as
corrupta and subservient to individual interests;
refuses to support any person for Office who
will deny or object to the exercise by the Leg
isature of the power to reverse or annul at
any time any chartered privilege. or so called
vested right, or any privilege claimed to be
involved in any charter to any corporation or
railroad, which experience has shown may be
exercised by such corporation to the detri-
ment of the public welfare favors tariff for
revenue only; favors Governmental improve
ment of the Mississippi and other rivers +; OPP
poses large salaries for public officers as likely
to make of1ice>holding attractive to human
cupidity, and denonnces the Credit Mobiler

on the wooden nose. The Modoc received
this tribute of the white mans powers with
o resignation worthy Of his race, until blow
delivered with more vim, loosed the savage
from the wiDdowsthutter to which it was
fastened by an iron hook and placing the red
skin in position TO give iuflplay to the iron
wheels supporting the pedestal, upon which
the figure rested. Nor was this manauyre
overlooked by the country, man, for his

inanimate savage beginning to move on it's

epayement-rendering this motive power easy.
The lcountry-man moved off at rapid pace,

Eg" General John G. Breckinridge recent.
ly spent few days at Long Branch, and at
tended the races. he called, as matter of
personal courtesy, on President Grant, whom
he had not seen since tho Mexican war, where
they were fellow officers. Although General
Breckenridge has been frequently in Wash>
ington since the close of the war, no did not
think it would be delicate for him to visit the
President in the Executive Mansion Ho
was accompanied to the Presidents cottage by
Mr.. John Hoey, and spent portion of tho
evening. No alusion was made to the late
war and the part taken by either. The Pres
ident greeted Mr.. Breckenridge very kindly,
and referred to the last time they met, which
was when Grant was. slightly wounded in one
of the Mexican engagements. They called
up old memories and old friends, and traced
the latter into after life. There is but year. s
difference between the ages of the two gen.
tlemen, Grant being fifty-two, and Breckin-
ridge fifty, one.

THECOL1RED ELEMENT AND THE
ORANGES.

The question of color, says the Lynehburg
Republican, is about to annoy the patrons of
husbandry. The colered element heretofore
has not been known to tho Order The con-
stltution ignores politics and religion, but says
nothing about coler. Should tho requisite
number of colored people apply for charter
it would be issued =; but whether the State
oranges would permit colored master to af>
filiato is question of local jurisdiction en-
tirely. In the North, where the Order is
aourishing, no application has been received
for cnarter for grange composed of colored
people, but in Arkansas and Missouri the i'm
pending crisis is at hand The order now
numbers upwards of 5000 oranges, having
increased over 500 during the month of Au.
gust. From this time until December it il
expected the increase will not fall short of
1000 per month. In Pennsylvania State
grange will be organized on the 10th of Sep
TENDER. 1t has taken root in Massachusetts
and promises to spread rapidly in the other
New England States. Virginia and Kentucky
appear to be neutral ground, there being but
AhieS III Tie lOrmer aOQ one In the
latter State. The clerical force at headouar-
tiers in Washington city has been increased.
All the clements of lively political campaign
enter into the business of the Order. Car
toons illustrating the farmers position with
monopolists are being prepared for general
circulation, songs with words adapted to the
object of the Order are being printed in New
York by thousands, and book called "Songs
of the Grange" cannot be printed fast enough
to fill the orders. The packages sent out
from Washington have the following pasted
on them, "com pound extract of hay seed, an
excellent mental invigorator, warranted to
cure itching for Office, political trickery, and
sure to remove unfaithful servants from
Office" Connecticut, Delaware, Florida
Maine, Maryland, Nevada aud Rhode Island
are the only States where a grange has not
bsen established. New York has at present
only nine oranges.

Like angel troops they come,
IL fold my arms 10 ponder
On the old, Old home.
The heart has many passages
Through which the feeling roam,
But its middle aisle is sacred
TO the thoughts OF old, old home.
Where infancy was sheltered
Like rosc-buds from the blast;
Where girlhoods brief clysiuIn
In joyUusness was passed;
To that sweet spot forever,
As Ia some Hul!OWed dome
Lifc's pilgrims bonds her vision
'Tis her o.d, old home.
a father sat, how proudly,
by that old hearthstone's rays,
And told his children stories
OF his early manhood's days;
And one soft eye was beaming,
From child to child 'twould roam;
Thus a mother counts her treasurca
In the old, old home.
The birthday gifts and festivals,
The blended vesper hymn
tSome dear one who was swelling il
Is with the Scraphiml,
The fond "good nights" at bedtime,
How quiet sleep would come,
And fold us all together
In the old, old home.
Like wreath of scented flowers
Close intortwincd each heart;
But time and change in concert
Have blown the wreath apart.
But dear and saintod memories
Like angels ever come,

Since my last things, with few exceptions
have progressed as usual.
On the 26tn of July the citizens gave a les
tval for the benefit of the Rev, E. d. Gould,
who had been laboring among Us for the
last few months, but owing to poor health,
was compelled to discontinue his labors
here. Although the company convened was
not very large, those that were there were
blessed with liberal hearts and about $4,000
was collected
On the night of July 9th gang OF thieves
visited our slumbering city and relieved it OF
about $4,000 and a watch They first en-
tered the Brunly Hotel but did not make
themselves very wealthy, as they only got
about $4,000 They then proceeded to the
residence of d. Brown, where they got about
$4,000 and a watch. In both cases the
rogues entered through window covered
with mosquito netting. As soon as the rob
berry was discovered, every effort was put
forth 70 ascertain who or where the plumber
cys were, but all proved fruitlcss, Every
party suspicioncd was as guiltless as they
could have been had they been among the
dead for weeks Now the matter has been
given up, and never expect to ever find either
money or watch
The farmers have been very busy lately,
and nC' more than an average of three car
load os grain a day have been brought in
for the last two weeks
The C., b. & Q. r. r. Co. have reduced the
grain tariff from $3.50 per hundred toI
$ 1851 per hundred to Chicago, enabling the
buyers to pay Sic per bushel for corn.
On the 9th inst. there will be another fcsti.
va, for the benefit Of Mr.. Gould At that
time there is to be "A silk hat voUcd to the
mcanest man in town. John Bowen says he
wants IT, as he got the prize for the same
quality in the last festival. But James Blake
says he is going to have it. All want it, but
can't have it.
On tie 10th inst. the organization for pro.
lection against horse thieves will have their
aGuaa, meeting at llilton's Hall. Let all
