[For the VALLEY VIRGINIANl

[For the VALLEY VIRGINIAN]
Messrs. Ediors:-
1t is master of surprise to me. that any
one, who processes to be friend of the pres
ent administration, can be supporter of
the Malone party. The object Of the ad.
ministration, under the lead OF Secretary
Sherman, has been to establish sound
currency and maintain inviolate the
national credit. The Mahone party are
advocating doctrines which are directly ar
tagonistic to these cardinal principles of Mr.
Hayes administration. They are seek ing
to unsettle the currency, and profess to re-
gard public faith and national honor rs mere
sentmentaiiUes, which are to be disregarded
when they stand in the way of sordid in
terests.
While the debt question in Virginia is, in
one sense, mere question of State politics,
in another and broader sense, it rises to
the dignity of national issue. Let the
doctrine Of reputation prevail In Virginia !;
let Malone be elected to the Senate on that
issue, and other arch agitators be chosen to
seats in Congress, it is easy to see how ready
the transition will be to war on the Nation
al debt, and the credit of the United States.
II Virginia can be persuaded to repudate a
debt which she contracted herself, by her
regularly elected representative debt in
CURED when the currency was equal to gold
with how much more readiness can her
people be appealed to to repudate the
National debt, which was contracted when
Virginia was not represented in Congress
when the currency was deprecated lin some
instances) fifty per cent.-and a debt which
was, in fact, the price Of Southern subju-
CATION.
The man who wars on an honest settles
ment of the debt of Virginia is, in effect,
warning on the credit, and honor. and pros
perity, of the United States. Nay, more !;
he is an enemy of the wise financial policy
of the administration.
The writer Of this article happens to know
that these are the sentiments of the Presi-
dent and Of distinguished members of his
Cabinet. They look with lively interest to
the canvass that is now going on in Virginia,
and it is hazarding little to say that they
will not regard any man who opposes the
equitable settlement, provided for by ex-
isting legislation, as friendly to the policy
of the National administration. And we
venture to whisper in the ears of certain
petty officials, who dressed in little brief
authority, are now presuming to play
fantastic tricks before the public, that
they had better beware how they tax
too far the indulgence of those charged
with the care of the government of
the US. Pride goes before fall Pre-.
sumptuous intermeddling may provoke stern
rebuke ! Forbearance, on the part of those
in authority, sometimes ceases to be virtue!

Letter From MT. Sidney.
Especial Reporter for the virginian.l
Mt. SIDNEY. Oct. 7th 1870

Mt. SIDNEY, Oct. It'll, 1879.
In the absence Of the pastor. Rev. Alex.
Sprunt, the pulpit OF the Augusta church
was filled last Sunday by Rev. VIM. Brown,
D. D., executor of the Central Presbyterian.
His discourse, based upon the 9Th verse nf
the 4th chapter of Isaiah, was logical in
construction, practical liz use, anu efectual
in application. The sermon consisted prin-
cipally of quotations in proof OF the fact
that God is always with US, and is ever will
ling to aid US, and that ''aIl things work TO-
gether for good to them that lore Cod"
He said the journey of the Israelites through
the wilderness was typical of the life OF
christians, and that as the pillow Of cloud
and shaft of fire overshadowed them, just so
is Gods providence over His people, and
will ever be lamp unto their feet and
light unto their path through this world
of sin and sorrow to the one beyond ''the
tide.''
His eloquent remarks, that he was, after
long sepa fFa ton, permitted to meet few of
his followers, though since that period time
had wrought many changes, yet he praised
God that through His mercies he was ''once
again. granted the privilege and pleasure of
meeting those who are yet this side of the
recesses OF the cold damp grave; his charge
to the congregation to nourisl, love ana
support their young pastor, as they had done
him, and his parting prayer and blessing,
were so pathetic that many eyes were filled
and aged cheeks believed with tears. DR..
Browns early ministerial life was spent in
that congregation, and for many years he
labored with that people, having the love
and cooperation of all. Want OF time and
space requires brief and prevents further
comment.
Our graded school was opened last week
with 80 pupils. and Miss Moilie Eakle as as.
sistant.
Transitory visitors have been numerous
for some time. among whom we noticed
Misses Kate NJ. and Ida w. Henkle, of
Staunton, and Miss NJ. L. Huston of Harrlss
onburg; and also Messrs. r. S. Donnelly of
Charleston, w. Va, and Sandy Wilson of
Stanton.
The town is papered with posters announc-
ing the arrival of new goods, of which the
merchants have quite a large and pretty as
sortment.
The protracted meeting which has been in
progress at this place for more than week,
