The Grace of Hospitality.

The truest, most generous hOspitali-
ty can only spring from Christian
hearts, and not any outward show of
profuse welcome can ever make up for
the hearty grasp of the hand of Chris
tian fellowship; yet Christian people,
through lack of faith or forgetfulness
of duty, sometimes are far from realiz-
ing the full Importance of hospitality,
and Christians do not even so well It's
their good sense, principle and educa-
ton teach them in making their guests
feel at ease. Onesi iphorus was not
ashamed of the chain, and whatever
bonds may bind the guest i'll the house,
it is but Christian courtesy to so far as
possible ignore their existence if un-
slightly, or aid in carrying if heavy to
bear. The fretted and fretful house
keeper will never impress the idea OF
the dignity of labor upon the mind OF
the young lady visitor, but on the con
trary, will very likely repulse her from
any faint longing she may have enter
tanned as to the desirability of learn
ing to do her own hOusework. And 4
habit of regarding those who spend
much time reading, drawing, or il
amusements other than i'll the direct
line of procuring daily food, as lazy
will certainly make the indulger mar
row in mind and close an open dOol
towards real and positive good. Right
ly viewed, the interchangcs betweeI
city and country life should be of thu
pleasantest character, and productive
of the highest good to all parties
That it is not always so is IA matter o
regret, but as the years roll on let TIN
amalgamation between the city Chris
tian and the country Christian becOm,
more and more perfect. Better under
standing each other, each will gaiI
from the other much that is pleasant
and a great deal that is helpful i'll life

No Such Nook.

Tell me. ye winged winds
That round my pathway roar,
That clatter at the blinds
And make a critter swore,
Know ye no peaceful dell.
No valley in the West,
No spot this side of-well,
The place we hate the best
No nook or Granny small,
No matter where it's at,
That won't reveal at all
The horrid hideous hat
The mammoth wreck of fuzzy plush
With which the modern maid doth gush
The loud wind answers like a soul forsoOk-

Senator Johnston is worrying himself

Senator Johnston is worrying himself
over the political records of Gen.. Malone
and Capt. Riddleberger, and putting him.
self to great trouble to prove that their
past acts are inconsistent with their pres
ent declarations and announced purposes.
We suspect that the Senator could have
saved himself all this labor, by simply ap-
pealing to the gentlemen themselves. They
would have acknowledged many things that
he has charged, and informed him that thev
had lived to learn the folly of them. They
are simply now trying to undo some of the
bad things they may heretofore have IA
vored, and in this differ from the Senator
and his faction who are so blinded by party
passion that they cannot see, or if they see,
have not the courageto acknowledge their
wrong. One of the things we most admire
in both Malone and Riddleberger is that
they have The courage to go back upon a
bad record, and are trying to make amends
for the mischief they have done. 1t would
be well enough for Senator Johnston to
study the moral of this matter well. He
and every other leading Democrat of the
modern Virginia school have great many
sins to account for, and the time is very
short in which to confess and reform. There
is no craftsmanship or patriotism in being
consistently wrong and the more Gen. Ma
hone and Capt. Riddleberger scout that kind
Inconsistency the more they should be COM
mended.

The action of the Republican caucus OF
Senators last Monday puts to rest the boast
of Democratic Senators and newsmongers
that the Republicans would abandon the
contest for the election of officers OF the
Senate until the regular session in Decem-
Der next. The result of the caucus is what
we expected and precisely what it should
be. To have abandoned the contest and
thereby turned the cold shoulder on Gen.
Malone after his brave declarations in that
body, and after the avalanche of abuse and
denunciation which has been directed
against him by almost every Democratic
Senator and every Democratic paper in the
land, would have been an act OF cowardice
and ingratitude totally indefensible. We
have never been special admirer of Gen.
Malone, but his action and declarations in
the Senate represent principles we have
been contending for for years, and so long
as he avows those principles and courage
ously stands to them. whether he ranges
under the nomenclature of Democrat, Re-
adjuster, Conservative, Wing, or whatev er
else, it is the duty of Republicans to stand
by him. 1t is the principles that are at
issue, and not Gen. Malone. The Repub.
lican party of the nation, through the eau
Gus of its Senators on Monday last, declared
as much. The arguments of Senators
Conkling and Sherman, in the caucus, in
favor of continuing the fight as represented
in the contest now going on over the cleo
answerable, and while at first there was
some diversity of opinion as to the best pol
icy to pursue, the final action was sustained
by unanimous vote.

Valley Minerals.

Within the past few weeks number OF
Northern gentlemen have been in the Val
lev and more particularly in Augusta and
Rockingham counties, examining the min
eral formations, and selecting average spec
linens for analysis. Some OF these persons
propose to return in few days and con-
tinue their investigations with view to
purchasing, and others to secure options
to get out ores on the royalty system. The
manganese properties south of Waynesboro,
and near the extension of the Shenandoah
Valley Railroad, and iron deposits in
that locality, claimed attention. Mr.. Shat
ter, of Pa, accompanied by Mr.. E. c. Vim
cent, Civil Engineer, of this place, Wis
tied Brooks Gap, in Rockingham, and
msao a surface examination of the iron
ores there. They found the deposits
very extensive, easily taken out, and
If ANALYSIS shows fair per cent of me-
tallic iron, it is believed arrangements
will be made for development. Mr.. Vincent
informs us that he examined the marble
formation in Brooks Gap, the property OF
DR.. Winfield, and found it of excellent
quality. eaua. to the Craigsville marble,
and much more easily quarried, and in
great quantity.
From the county of Page we hear OF very
extensive developments of manganese, near
the line of the Shenandoah Valley Rail-
road, the property of Messrs. Newman q
Broaddus, of Luray, and Lorenzo Sibert,
of this place. This property is being de-
veloped by the owners, and the prospect is
that it will prove one of the most val
liable deposits of the kind in the State.
We learn that the engineer sent out to
examine the line of the Narrow Gauge
Railroad from Harrisonburg to North
River Gap, and on through Highland, Pc
cohontas, &C., was very favorably impressed
with the natural advantages of the route,
and it was believed would make favorable
report. If so, we learn, the assurance has
been given that eastern capitalists will at
once undertake the construction OF the
road, This would open up very rich min
eral, pastoral and timber region, and ex-
pose an amount of natural wealth OF vast
extent and ready access.
These indications point to unusual activ-
| ity in the mineral trade in the Valley, and
| give assurance of future OF much prom
Use. Nature has done much for this Sec
tion-lavished upon it variety OF values
which in almost any other portion OF the
Union would long since have been utilized
and constituted the source OF "a.
lttccrpflses and individual and corporate
prosperity. Our time for participancy in
the industrial achievements of the age may
not be far off, and when the neuclus is once
formed, we may reasonably expect rapit
increase and development.

This was all known before Gen. Malone
took his seat in the United States Senate.
and long before the wrath of Democratic
Senators was inflamed against him. They
hoped to win him over by fattery and
promise, but falling in this and finding that
his convictions and political mission led him
in different path to that they pursued,
their baffied hopes found vent in the des-
perate assaults and systematic yituperatIon
which have been heaped upon him by Bour-
bon Senators and the Bourbon press
throughout the country.
Virginia is to be the chosen battlefield
between the two civilizations-that OF Ply
mouth Rock and that of Jamestown-as it
was twenty years ago betw cen the forces
of Freedom and the fore es of Slavery. The
same ideas are involved-the same forces at
work-the same ends at issue. 1t is ire
cause of the many against the tew-the
emancipation and development OF the intel
lectual and moral forces Of the masses, the
enlightenment and enlargement OF the
popular understanding as the surest foun-
dation of the perfection and perpetuity OF
our Republican institutions. Inc same
principle is involved that was asserted IN
the Tea story OF Boston Harbor and the re-
sistapce of the stamp tax. 1t is the same
cause which kindled to flame the sleep
ing fire in Patrick Henry and inspired the
men of Jefferson in the declaration that ''all
men are created equal, that they are en-
lowed by their Creator with certain una
lienable rights, that among these are Life,
Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. 1t is
the cause of Human Rights-a civilization
that looks to the expansion and growth OF
the moral and intellectual forces OF all the
people and the perfection of system OF gov
eminent which has its source in the lntelil-
gence and patriotism OF the constituent
| body. 1t means this in cOntradistlnctlon TO
the assumption that only certain class,
who have inherited adventurous privl-
leges. are to constitute the State and direct
its destiny, while the great mass OF the peo-
pie are to remain hewers of wood and
drawers OF water.
These are the ideas which are to be Joined in
issue in Virginia this fall, as they have
come in fearful conflict in times past, on
different forums and in different forms. II
is to be bitter contest, testing the meta
of every man who may be engaged in It,
and whether his convictions are OF thai
deep and abiding nature, as to face and defy
all the enginery of partizan hate and passion
and continue in the struggle until the bat
tie is won. The progressive influence ane
inspiration of the one will grow ane
strengthen in proportion to the oSsTstIes Il
be overcome, while the retroactive and OBJ
structive purpose of the other will weaker
at every assault, for the many, stirred b.
the right, will in the end vanquish the few
who battle for the wrong, and whose theory
is to reject the corner stone of our govern
mental fabric.

As It Should Be.

The Republican caucus, held Monday
morning. unanimously determined that the
officers of the Senate must be elected before
the special session closes. The buster and
froth of some Of the Southern Senators,
instead of weakening, have only made the
Republicans more determined to assert the
rights of the majority and show that it is
not in the power of the minority to direct
and control the conduct of the Senate. For
the Republicans to surrender would be
confession that they have been wrong in
their demand that the majority should rule
and an admittance that the fuss and fury
of the minority have frightened them
from their duty. AS to the compare
tive honesty of the two political factions in
Virginia on the debt question, as repre-
sented by Senators Johnston and Mahone'
the odds are decidedly with the latter. Both
favor Reputation, according to our under
standing of the question, but Malone gives
reasons why the debt should be settled up
on his plan, alleging that there is simple
equity and not reputation in it, while the
other side offers neither reason nor excuse
for the shameful abuse of legislative au-
thority, and palpable violation OF the Con-
stitution in robbing the public schools and
undermining the school system. II there
were no other differences between them the
record of Mahone's faction on the school
interests, should commend it to popular &C
ceptance over the other, with those who ap-
preciate education and the necessity OF
popular intelligence to The welfare OF the
country.
While we might not have made the selec-
lions for Senate officers chosen by the Re
publican caucus, if the matter had been
left to us, yet as they have been formally
presented by the majority side OF the Sen
ate, the Republicans should stand by them
and fight the thing through, if il takes them
all summer.
