| sNoT FOR JOE. Our contemporary OF the
Lexington Gazette returns thanks to friend
Yost'' for a kindly word for Roekbridge, in
connection with a notice OF Rev. VIM. Taylor,
formerly of that county The article which
appeared in the VIRGINI4AN received our
entire endorsement, but WAS written by our
religious editor, as was plainly Indicated by
the expression, g the writer recurs- with pleas
urc to the fact of being associated with him as
office bearer in the church, Sc. Unfo1-
tunately that does not precisely fit s. friend
Yost." and therefore we must confess that the
! authorship belongs to an esteemed friend VINO
takes pleasure in noting the progress in re-
Hoious life of those Of his old friends who have
identified themselves with the work OF the
ministry. The tribute to the sterling qualities
of the people of Rockbriage, and especially Its
Scotcl-Irishp opulation, met our hearty APPROX
al. for we have never known a class OF people
whose adamantine virtues commend them more
unreservealy to popular respect. wrong
headed they may be, sometimes, but they make
a virtue of wrong opinion by tue rcnacity, the
independence and the boldness OF tiief au-
hesion to ii. which shows conviction aho Wher-
ever there is conviction there is honesty. foi-
it-cally, we have never agreed with the Scotch
Irish population of the Valley. Some how or
other we have always been on opposite Sues,
and equally convinced that each was right
But this does net abate our admiration for them.
We respect honest conviction wherever we find
it, and much prefer an open. undisguised OPP
ponent to a milk-and-water friend. Our
Dutch obstluaey, probably, is as much at fault
as their Scoteh-Irish mulishness, and whether
we have agreed with them CT not we have
never failed to receive liberal support in our
business enterprises ia their midst, involving
questions OF public policy where different O.
pinions were likely to he formed. TIE original
settlers in Rocsbridse and Aagusta-the old
I Scotch-IiigE heroes iii war and religon--and
! their descendants, are a sturdy people, who
would do honor to any community or state,
and entitled to all the commendation that ha;
been and eyer will Dc bestowed upon them.
