In consequence of the lateness of my an
nouncement as a candidate for Congress- and
Of the consequent impossibility of organic
ing, throughout this widely extended district,
those who agree with me in the principles
which have advocated, my election is, in
my opinion, very impro bable. I am not
willing, under the circumstances, to impose
upon my friends any farther the labor nee
essary to carry on the canvass, and therefore
I take this method of announcing to you my
withdrawal from the contest.

has been productive of good and am con

More Paper, Less Credit.

The more paper we issue the less Europe
will trust us. Further imitation only means
less saving and more waste. Any new issue
Of paper not based on gold can only drag
down our currency, sink lower, and fluctu-
ate more. Still more it will rob those who
labor. Prices would not rise equally they
never do. Farm products and wages would
inevitably lag behind. Still more shall the
producer take the risk, while the Spectator
pockets the profits. Still more shall wages
flutter like a moth, while interest scorches
like steady flame. Still more shall gamb-
ling faint every loan and every contract,
every engagement to labor, and every de.
post of the seed in the kindly earth. Cheap
money means gamblers paradise.

Monday last, County Court day. was
great time for the friends and supporters of
Capt. John Paul. They were in Staunton
in force, and made up large-a very large
proportion of the people that crowded the
Courthouse. The discussion showed Gen.
Echols to be thoroughly acquainted with the
intricate and but little understood subject of
finance, but his competitors obviously had
the ear of the people. The most curious
development, however, was the wonderfully
strong and ardent exhibition of feeling for
Capt. John Paul, of Rockingham, who was
evidently the favorite OF this large and in
telligent crowd of Augusta people. 1t is
clear that Paul stands first-rate chance of
carrying the grand old county of Augusta,
even against the hitherto invincible Hon.
Judge Harris, and the new candidate for
Congressional honors, Gen. John Echols.
Paul's friends were in splendid humor and
evidently determined to do their duty in this
struggle.

A CARD.-We are authorized to announce
that Loeb Bros. have concluded to give their
customers and the public in general, bene-
fit The like has never been offered before.
They have purchased such an immense stock
of Goods, they were compelled to enlarge
their store, and after adding another room,
find they are still over-crowded. They
therefore propose to sell their entire stock of
Goods, until further notice. at per cent ad-
vance on original cost, and being connected
with some of the largest Manufacturing
establishments in Philadelphia and New
York, their facilities enable them to sell
their Goods at such low prices that it must
astonish the closest buyers. Loeb Bros. have
gained for themselves reputation and the
confidence of our good people, through leg;t-
innate and honest dealing, which is sufficient
guarantee that they mean what they say.
Give them call before you purchase else
where. Their immense stock and very low
prices will open your eyes. Look out for
new advertisements. They positively will
not submit to be undersold by any house In
Virginia.

LowMAN's DIsTILLERY.-We noticed
last week the destruction by fire of the Dis
tillery of Mr.. Jonas Lowman, near Spring
Hill, in this county, entailing q very heavy
loss on that worthy citizen. We learn that
Mr.. Lowman, nothing daunted by this mis-
fortune, will at once proceed to rebuild the
distillery, and hopes to have it ready for OPP
Grafton by the 1st day of ia nuary next.
Lowman's whiskey has very fine reputa-
ton, unsurpassed in the Valley, and those
who have been dealing in it will be gratified
to learn that the manufacture of it has only
temporarily ceased.

No Broken Pledges.

The new Democratic policy would be in
direct violation of the faith of the nation
pledged by the acs Of June 80, 1854; ''rhat
the total amount Of United States notes is
sued or to be issued shall not exceed four
hundred millions, and such additional sum,
not exceeding fifty millions, as may be tenn
porarily required for the redemption OF tenn
porary loans., To psolate that limit noso, and
in time Of peace, would be so feayfMlly omi-

itself and impair our national standing.

DEATH OF r. SKIP. TAYLOR.-Last Fri
day night, at his mothers residence, in this
city, Robert Skipwith Taylor, son of the late
Edwin NJ. Taylor, died of consumption, in
the 2Sth year of bis age. He was a young
man of unusual talent, and of a noble, gen.

disease had undermined his health, and
when quite youth, he was placed as en-
gineer in charge of some of the most difficult
work on the c. & O. R. Rand his execution
of the trust won him an enviable reputation,
which laid the foundation for what would
doubtless have been eminence in his profess
sion, had his life and health been spared.

DEATH OF Mrs. E. J. TINsLEY .-This
estimable lady, matron at the Western Lun-
attic Asylum for the past twenty-seven
years, land mother of HenryC. Tinsley, of the
indicator, died in this city ON Friday last,
aged GO years. We had known and esteemed
attractions Of character, or won upon the re-
gard of those who became acquainted with
her by the kindly dignity and gentle urbani-
ty of her nature. Towards the young she
was always sympathetic, and experienced
pleasure in imparting useful advice and
stimulating to love of the ''good, the true
and the beautiful Her cultured mind and
gentle disposition were adorned by the
graces Of the spirit, and the fruitions of
Christian life clustered ar ound and crowned
her CLOSING hours OF existence. Suffering
acutely from painful disease, she bore it
without murmur, and anchoring her faith
in the promises of the Bible, her pure spirit
passed from the pleasures and disappoint-
ments of earth into that rich inheritance pre-
pared for those who have kept their LAMPS
trimmed and lights burning while soiourn-
ing here.
The intelligence of the death of Mrs. Tin
sley will send sadness to many hearts, for
her circle Of acquaintance was large, and
there are those whom she herself may almost
have forgotten, who will recall the quiet,
pleasant dignity and grace with which she
L.,
sition, and left an impression that time cam
not efface. In all the relations Of life she
was the true Christian lady.
