:. The Happy Land of Canaan "-de

.sThe Happy Land OF Canaan "-dear
old Rockingham-has become sort OF ac'
commodation Tight that anybody may make
a signal with. All the time Rockingham is
"greatly excited" We cannot understand
why she should he unduly excited at IN!
time, and we strongly suspect that there
are wild boys about, OF mischievous and de-
signing persons, who scheme for polltica
rumpus. If the reported agitation in Rock
iagham that is ever causing the fat Dur
hams to dance and the big barns to shake
be not exaggerated, the. "Happy land Of
Canaan is hardly herself. Nevertheless
the MoFFETT register comes from that TO-
cality, and, with the help of that, serenit!
and order may yet be established where no"
seems to be considerable blather. ....

It'll lnumbo.i Jumbo and itscapers. But Islam.
ism Is faith powerfnlly Sustained which
seldom fails to vent its hostility to Chris
tianity when an opportunity offers, and
which exerts cruel tyranny over millions
OF Christians. hit not strange that CHRIS
tian nations should contribute millions 1or
enlightening and Outstanding Africans
and others, and Mt the same time show no
sympathy, ior,.ethe. Christians hat'rssoai
under the Mohammedan yoke? 1
This is indeed strange phase oi'tne 1'ie-
sent state OF civilization. It is said That tine
Russians are bad, and that their reigion is
Objectionable. This Is, no argument. iheY
are Christians. Whatever be the peculiar
ceremonies of the Greek Church which
Christians not Of that Church may object to,
i,ts faith includes the leading articles OF the
Christian faith, and furthermore the Chris
tians OF European Turkey are attached to
the Greek Church. There Is no reason in
religious view that can Justify the sympa-
thy OF Christian people with Islamtsm in
the great Eastern war which promises to
liberate ll,000,GO0 OF ChristlahS lfoii tue
hated rule of Islamism. .....
Weare not the advocate OF religious wars.
1t is enough for us to believe that humanity
approves the end-whateyer the motive OF
the Russians-which will drive the Turk
out of Europc-the unspeakable TURK y
as CARLYLE calls him. Neither religion nor
civilization could be gratitied by prolong-
ing the European rule OF the Turk. His
presence in Europe is deadly injurious to
both. We therefore sympathize with the
Russians. But it is no credit to Christian
ism that so many people and such large in
terests should be BIASED in support OF and
sympathy with the most powerful foe oil
both Christianity and true civilization on
the face of the globe.

How Is It?

Well. ms TO that, we for one are entirely
serene. We think events will shape them
selves irrespective OF agitation o.. passiylty.
There never was period in Virginia State
politics OF such confusion. Men have lost
not only their places, but most OF them their
reason. They will not come to their pro-
per understanding OF the situation until the
time for action has arrived. Wewou'd pre-
fer that each man shall do as much cussing as
he desires, and then, in apo|itical sense go
70 sleep. He would rise refreshed, and MS
mind would be in condition to hear ana 70
fudge. Now the alteration amongst once
hunters has established state OF menta'
ascatteration," destructive OF deiloeratioh
and Of comprehension.
One striking illustration Of the CONFUSION
OF She hour is that the distinguished gentle
man who opened the discussion about adj
Iustment has by his several letters involved
himself in inextricable confusion. His fol-
lowers must be equally perpleXed, and II
left alone will never emerge from the laby-
rinth. .rn.......
Those who have suggested remedies Tor
the troubles OF the times have only sue
cecded in rendering themselves ridiculous.
They only venture upon impractcabilitics
and impossibilitics, showing themselves in
capable Of inventirg anything for the pub
lie good, or that is worthy OF the public re-
spect. From the best-considered down TO
the mouse-trap" proposed by Mr.. BAR
DouR, OF Culpeper, they have won hardly
thought from the public. BY the way, the
nmouse-trap "-the plan for the issue oil
State certificates of debt, to be sold below
the coupons in order to block them out OF
the Treasury-is claimed by our contempo-
rary FOWLER, of the Briston Meas, we re-
greet to say p; for which we conjecture Mr..
BARBOUR is very thankful. Our friend OF
Bristol will for his own sake have to i'm
prove his invention. 1t is by no means
"Bristoi brick" .-...
We repeat, we have no fear of the future.
The present confusion will be brought to
order by events. II nothing better happens
we expect that the operation OF the MOE
fETr register will give us solution OF oul
announces. III eHaI SSasC tuC 'hao Soa1pA'
sory adjusters will find that they have
pledeed themselves to dishonor that they
will not be called upon-nay, not allowed
to commit. Ii so, there will be fearful
back-slashing" modification.
1t is a sad day. There used to be in war
times very common proverb-Yiz.,
uBlood is thicker than water" The fact
that it is may be doubted. When we see
men who were willing to have shed their
blood for Virginia now consenting to her
disbonor, we rather think there is more
consistency in water than there is in blood.
We have faith. We. revere Virginia, and
are full OF the faith that such honor as hers
is not to be humbled in the dust that few
demagogues may have seats in the Legisla-
ture and draw per diem out oil the State
Treasury. Events are forming themselves,
and that divinity which shapes the course
OF States as we'll as men will save the fame
and name of Virginia, even though her own
sons may seek to destroy them.

The question of official positions in and

Virginia offers for reelection the present

whom the Old Dominion cannot exhibit Il

Stewart is one OF the most popular men in

Charles Sumner as q Linr.

The Edinburgh correspondent OF the
New York Herald, in All interview with
General Grant, drew from him the follow
ing remarkable statements:
81 must tell you an incident about Mr..
Sumner. The first time ever saw George
William Curtis he called upon me to re.
quest on behalf Of number OF influential
Republicans the reinstatement OF Mr.. Sum-
ner as chairman OF the Committee on For
eign Affairs. told him that il should
20 to the Senate and dictate the organl-
cation of the committees | would he apt to
hear something about the fellow who made
a fortune by minding his own business.
said I certainly should suggest the idea to
any part Of the legislative branch that
should undertake to construct my Cab
met. gave him distinctly to understand that
I did not propose to interfere in the matter
at all, even by advice to personal friends
among the senators, and that thought Mr..
Sumner had not done his duty as chairman
of the committee, because he had hampered
the business OF the State Department by
pigcon-holing treaties for months. Mr..
Curtis said that was impossible, for Mr..
Sumner had only short time before told
him that his successor would find clean
docket, and made special claims for the eX-
ecution of the work Of the committee.
Knowing, as I did, the adroit arguments
used among Mr.. Summers friends, I deter
mined to testShe matter of clean docket.
told Mr.. Curtfsashat I had proposed to
prove to him that his7triend Mr.. Sumner
had not told him the faetS,, and that he
made these statements knowing them to be
falsehoods. Mr.. Curtis was amazed a. my
offer, but assured him that he had been
frequently caught in similar misrepresenta-
tions. told Mr.. Curtis that there were nine
or eleven treaties before the Senate from
the State Department that had been there
several months, and had been in Mr.. Sum-
ner's hands, but had never been laid before
the committee. wrote from the spot,
Long Branch, to the State Department, and
to my own surprise there proved to be
more treaties than | had said that had
been in Mr.. Summers own hands for
longer time than I expected. That
was the 'clean docket When [ told
Mr.. Curtis about it, and gave him the re-
cord, he was rather disappointed. He said
it was remarkable. I told him my object
in having the record searched was to show
him that Mr.. Sumner was not a truthful
man, as others had found out before me-,
and as had discovered on frequent occa-
sions. The work OF that committee when
Mr.. Cameron took charge was in a most de-
plorabIe state, due entirely to Mr.. Summers
persistent obstructiveness and dilatoriness."
