We think our Harriscnburg contemporaries
are making most too much of an anonymous
scribbler who has seen fit to refer rather de-
ridingly to the Thinker population of Rock
ingham county and the Valley. That de-
nomination needs 70 defense from such ridi-
cule or assault. Their simple, prim tive
teachings and examples, being SO close up
to the precepts of Religion, is ample vindica-
ton of their character and methods of life,
and no sighting remarks from any such
source will cause even rifle in the current
of their we'll appointed habits and usages.

GOOD WORDS FOR VIRGINIA.-Mr. Hugh
Stewart, an intelligent and we'll informed
Englishman, who resides about one and a
half miles from Staunton, on farm he pur-
chased some years ago, is new in Europe,
and has avaled himself of his presence there
to say a good word for the Shenandoah VAL
ley. In the Belfast Neaos Letter, of the 10th
nst., we find tie following notice of an ad
dress delivered by him in behalf of Virginia,
and more particularly of this beautiful and
fertile Valley: "On Thursday evening a
lecture was delivered in Hollywood, on "Yir-
ginia and the Shenandoah Valley" by Mr..
Hugh Stewart, of Staunton, Virginia. The
audience was large and respectable, includ-
ing w. c. Heron, Esq, the High Sheriff ;
Il. Nelson, w. Malcolm, R. Carson, W.
Langtry, Esqrs., SC. The lecturer explain
ed in forcible terms the present position and
resources of Virginia, and the many induce
ments to capitalists, farmers. and manufac.
turers to purchase and settle there. The
She nandcah valley is the most fertile portion
of the great American continent. Railroads,
canals, churches, schools. and market towns
abound in every part of the State, and ow-
ing to the depressed state of the planters,
consequent on the late war, cultivated lands
and good homes can be procured at prices
fully as low as those asked for wild lands in
the Far West. A hearty vote of thanks was
at the conclusion given to Mr.. Stewart for
his most interesting and instructive lecture.
