The survivors of the old Thirty-third
Virginia regiment are highly pleased
by the honor bestowed upon one of their
number. This regiment, it will be re-
membered, was originally composed as
follows:
One company from Rockingham, COM
manded by Capt. J. R. Jones five COM
panies from Shenandoah, commanded by
Capts. Marion Sibert, Geo. w. Allen,
John Gatewood, D. III. Walton and E.
Crabill; one from Hardy, commanded
by Capt. Spengler; one from Hamp-
shire, commanded by Capt. Trace; and
one from Frederick, commanded by
Capt: +: w. NJ. Holiday. So long as
Col. Holiday served with the regiment,
either as Captain or Colonel he was
highly esteemed and beloved by all who
knew him. 1t will afford these old vet
Grams peculiar pleasure to march to the
polls and deposit vote for one who
was so highly esteemed as an officer and
friend. Shenandoah has her first
choice and will give evidence of her ap-
probation of it, by giving to Col. Holli-
day more than liberal vote.-tMenan-

The Path Of Duty and Honor.

The Richmond State of last Wednes-
day strikes the keynote on the State
debt question. 1t says:
"That we must pay the debt, is the
honest sentiment of tie best people of
Virginia-the men of means-the pro-
perty owners and actual Taxpayers, the
farmers, the merchants, the mechanics,
and all who have an actual stake in the
Commonwealth and with a few eXcep-
tiops, in which honest but misguided
men have joined in the cry of the mob,
it is the demagogues, and the thought
less throng they lead, only that are out for
flat-footed reputation. The payment
of the debt is the only great principle
for it has become principle now-un-
derlying the politics of Virginia, and it is
not only political but a great social and
commercial question, involving as it
does the whole future of the State. Not
for twice the amount can Virginia afford
to be pilloried before the world as re-
creant debtor. She cannot afford to
have her name placed on the black list,
not only on every exchange in this coun-
try, but placarded as dishonored and
gone to eternal protest all over Europe,
and all this discredit for the paltry sum

would scarcely be felt. so light would it
become under good system of State
economy. The advertisement of her
solvency alone would be worth ten
times the sum in the immediate future.
| 1t would restore confidence in her every
where, and bring capital hither for i'm
mediate investment; and after all, it is
capital that we need more than anything
else-capital to buy our idle and unim-
proved lands, and to develop our great
material resources, open up our mines,
| impart new life to our manufacturing
enterprises, and make our public i'm
proyements, our railroads and canals
pav. 1t is ashort-sighted policy indeed
and looks no further than the nose on
ones face, that would thus destroy our
public credit and take from US the last
hope of our recovery from the impover.
ishing results of the war; and it is only
an enemy of the Commonwealth or one
most ignorant of all the laws which con
troll industrial and financial develop
ment, who would teach otherwise. d.
not listen to the interested teachings O.
the demagogue who. only anxious fol
his own advancement and regardless OF
the good of the State, would feed youl
hopes on such unwholesome pabulum
The only way for Virginia to recover he
former wealth and prestige is by paying
her debt, to the last farthing, and thus
fixing forever her financial reputation
upon basis as invulnerable and unas
sailable as her warlike fame is imperish
able. What will the deeds of her heroe
be worth or the glories of her past, whel
heads of her children are bowed IL

with anger and redden with rage at the
suggestion, for it will come to that in the
end, should the wild and dishonest
theories of the demagogue now prevail.
"But we thank fortune there is little
fear of such result. Our people are too
strongly armed in honesty to even hesi-
tate on the critical edge of honor and
duty, and when the plain path has been
marked out to them, when the way
through the wilderness of their doubts
has been honestly biased, we do not fear
that they will falter or grow weary in
following the true course, no matter how
rugged the path or inaccessible the
height may appear. There is but one
strictly honorable way out and that is
ITO pay out"

TWENTY. Seven Years AGO

II. r. Stevens, ESQ.,. Dear Sir-This is to GER
tlfy that my daughter was taken sick when she
was three years old, and got SO low that we were
obliged to keep her on pillow, without moving,
to keep the little thing together. She was at
tended by several physicians the regular at
tending one being old DIR. John Stevens They
all pronounced her case incurable. She had
been sick about a year, when hearing of the great
Blood Remedy, VEGETINE, commenced giving
her that, and continued it regularly till she was
about seven years old, when she was pronounced
perfectly cured. During her sickness three
pieces OF bone were taken from her right arm
Several small pieces were also taken from her
left leg. She is now twenty-seven years old, and
is enjoying good health, and has ever since she
was seven years old, with no signs of Scrofula
or any other blood disease. Her arm is little
crooked, but she can use it almost as well as the
other. Her legs are of equal length, and she is
not in the least lame. Her case was Scrofula
inherited in the blood; and would recommend
all those having Scrofula Humor or any other
blood disease, If they wish to have perfect
cure, to try VEGETINE, the reliable blood rem
edy, which does not weaken the system like
many other preparations recommended, but, on
the contrary, it is nourishing and strengthening.
My daughters case will fully testify this, for
never saw nor heard of worse form of Scrofula.

The fact has just been made public
that, on the 10Th day of July, some
persons entered the Sisters chapel, at
Belle Prairie, by breaking the lock,
and destroyed an oil painting of St.
Anthony Of Padua, that cost two hum
dred dollars. Some of the fixtures in
the building were taken out by the
same parties and were thrown into the
river. The paintine was cut into sew
eral pieces. This is the most amazing
display of natural and acquired de-
pravity that has occurred in this i'm
