and prosperity OF the country.if they have
the power. Some are intelligent and pa
triotic. But many are vindictive, and
many are ignorant.
A democratic South makes absolutely
necessary republican North. The blame
of sectionalism rests with those who insist
upon a solid South. As long as The men
of that section make demands upon the
public Treasury which threaten bankrupt
cy, as long as they assail the credit of the
nation by their votes. so long there must
be solid North. Every industry de-
mands defence. Millions of frugal work
ers, whose savings are in peril, demand
protection. All that we have created,
gained or accumulated during century
of free Institutions, free labor, and bold
invention and enterprise, is at stake with
the credit of our government. As long as
democracy means a solid and hungry
South, repubic'nism must mean rally
ing OF every instinct, every interest, and
every sentiment of pride or sense Of duty
throughou, the Northe u States, to protect
The honor and credit OF the nation.

TUE GOVERNMENT ADVERTISING.

The Senate committee on civil-servce reform
has under consideration a letter from Secretary
SchuIz asking that he may be allowed to pay for
the public advertising the same price which pri-
vate indiv iduals are charged instead of be ing
stricted, as at present, to one tenth that price.
The Secretary says that under the existing law il
will be impossible for the department TO have its
adyer tisements inserted in papers in the prnci-
pal cities. The Secretary also asks that bills in
CURED at the existing legal rates may be rexdjust-
ed on the basis Of the proposed increase OF com.
pensation.

still insist upon the responsibility OF the
fraternity as shown in him as a represen-
tative
And finally brethren! We protest against
the word 'scrusty!" Not that some OF them
are not so. We suppose that there are
few modest and retiring gentlemen who
have screwed up their couraget to "address"
five OF six lovely women and been as many
times refused, that do not soon become
encrusted with chagrin and doubts and re-
sentiment to great thickness; but that does
not make it justifable that women should
take advantage of their own wrong and
open fire on them as s'crusty cid bache-
lors,' y for not doing what they couldn't do.
But the majority CT single men of advanced
age are not of that sort. Nothing could
be more genial than that class OF our
fellow citizens. They have few bad social
points. They know less scandal, Tot hav-
ing wives to post them) and therefore talk
less of it; they are more universally oblig-
ing than their married brothers; they are
beasts of burden of feminine excursions
and church associations; they are in short
conveniences set apart to be picked up by
some enterprising woman who merely
wants to marry. AS civilization progress
es we hope to see more enlightened pub
| lie sentiment on the subject, but until
then there is little else to do but grin and
bear it. In closing this short sermon in
behalf of a misrepresented and injured
class, we commend them to possess their
souls in patienc e, comforting their hearts
with the reflection that this is not the only
world and that there is another where, We
are advised, there is no marrying nor gv-
ing in marriage and whele the weary are
| at rest.

Here lie the leaders of legion band.
Here, too the humblest warriors of our land:
Some fell midst bloody battles din and heat
IN Victry OF in direful defeat.
Alas 40 fond relation lowered near,
With loving tenderness to SoOth OF cheer;
No longing eye to watch them or too weep
While arept tAe shadows Of eternal sleep
We We deem them Worthy Of the Laurel Crown,
Whether in triumph or defeat their fall
E ich died responsive 10 his c0untlyS call;
Some far away from mothers, friends, and home,
With patient suffering sunk into the tomb.
These bear the epi.aph: unknown" unknown"
Wife, mother, sister, let it reach your ear
Your loved and lost in quiet steep are here;
Here-miniStered by gentle heart and hand,
Albeit resting III stranger land.
Ye feathered warIlers, tune the grateful lay,
Ye bfeeZes, watt h echo far away!
Methinks hear message in RETURN

That cling to meil 'rieS OF the past, and yearn

Therefore, with grateful hearts and solemn tread,
We pay the tribute to our gallant dead
i feeble token of cou..trys love
To those who bravely fou-ht a. d nobly strOye
And freely gave their patriotic blood
In vain endeayor for that country good.
In still repose they Slumber side by side;
The darkliIg grave their mortal forms doth hide;
Their spirits thence emancipated rise
And flee from earth to soar beyond the skies,
So, too, these earthly flowers in death will pale,
But dying thus their fragrance will eXhale
And rise like incense to the realms above
There form bright aureola of love.
Then bring we flowers on these graves to shed,
And weave we crowns to deck our honored dead.

We said last week that the meeting of
seventy persons gathered at the court
house, by means of circulars, did not re-
present the two thousand farmers of Au-
gusta county, nor. we are convinced, do
they represent the farmers of any other
part of Virgin ia. We are pleased to find
since writing that. that the "Planter
and Farmer" Of Richmond, which is re-
cognized as the watchful and trusted guar
dian of the agricultural interest of the
State, takes precisely the same ground as
that taken IN the VINDICATOR last week.
The number received Tuesday has reply
by the editor to a letter of FRANK G..
RUFFIN, on the State debt. The editor
says, "a State would not be worthy the re-
spect of anybody that could seriously en-
terrain, much less commit, the act of re-
pudiation. and Virginia, taking this step.
ceases to be Virginia, and makes her chill
dren poor, indeed" He goes on to show
that new account of stock and property
should be taken in the State, and one that
should be perfectly reliable, and our cred
itors should be informed on that basis OF
what we can do. That is all that
can be done. All the resolutions that could
be passed cannot change the condition
of affairs. Virginia is not in court /; there
is no case pending against her. upon which
counsel may be heard. The matter is end
ed. Virginia as State, through her Le-
gislature, has acknowledged the obliga-
lions. If any one of the seventy gentle
men. assembled at the courthouse. was
authorized to offer compromise by the
creditors, does he think it would not be
eagerly accepted by every tax payer in the
State? If any one of them had suggested
or could suggest any way out of the debt
except reputation, which would be fatal
does he think it would not be adopted
But without either of these, apparently
aimless clamor is raised and discussions
gone into about the size of the debt and
the poverty of the State. Where can be
the good of this thing? If we were to write
or they were to speak columns, it would
not alter the situation.
We trust that meeting of the farmers
of Augusta will be held-publicly called.
not by circulars at which their position
will be SO positively defined that there can
be no doubt or discussion about what the
farmers of this honest, old county are in
favor of.

On last Friday we ran over to Staunton
and returned next day.-While there we
visited the Augusta Female Seminary,
Miss Baldwin's.) Nearly all OF the exam
nations were over and the course OF stu
dies for the session ended. A more lovely,
joyous, happy set of yonng ladies we never
saw. Their joyous gladness was proper
termination to a session OF hard Work. All
those of them with whom we conversed
were devoted to their teachers, but they
almost worship Miss Baldwin and Miss
Kemper. Staunton is exceedingly proud OF
this school and it is right that she should
be, for it is al honor to the State. We
heard Well-informed gentleman OF an ad-
joining county, WHO is we'll acquainted
with the school and its appointments, and
who is a very capable judge, express the
opinion that 1T is the best female school IN
America buildings are large and well
adapted to the purposes of such school,
and the commodio,s and beautiful grounds
look like a paradise on earth.
While there, we called 10 see DR.. Sears,
at his beautiful It sidence on the top OF
s.Sears HILL" 1t is beautiful for situation
and lovely in its large green lawn ; it is a
noble forest of stately oaks. and its well
graded Walks.-The view from the front
porch is magnificent.
DR.. Sears is inelooklng, elderly gentle
man apparently in excellent health. We
were deeply interested i'll hearing him talk
about the principles on which. that noble
henefaction, the Peabody fund, is DIS,
! tributed We were strongly impressed
with his strong clear, practical intellect as
e folded his views. We were OF course
| specially pleased to learn that he is much
| interested in our scheme for the establish
nsent Of high school at Charlottesville.
| He has a If UGH clearer view Of our own
! true interests than some our own people.
1t is well that the board of trustees of the
Peabody fund have so faithful and capa-
bic man as its Superintendent and man
ager. His selection for this position by
Mr.. Peabody in his lifetime, is striking
evidence of the great sagacity of that Nc
! BILE philanthropist.
