Fron1 the Rockingham Register, March Goth.
Kind Words from "Pr0gress.'

Messrs. Editors:-I have been reader of
the Rockingham Register and STAUNToN
SPECTATOR for forty years, and it affords me
great pleasure to endorse them as abreast
with the advanced thought Of the age, and
as worthy Of the great counties of Augusta
and Rockingham. They have stood like a
rock for the interests of the people, against
the ambition of bosses, the encroachmant of
monopolists. and the dishonest schemes of
public robbers. The SPECTATOR since the
days of Kenton Harper, and the Rocking
ham Register, from Wartmann to the pres
ent. have battled for the right, and hurled
back with defiance every insinuation calcu-
lated to tarnish the fair name or impede the
onward course of their countrymen. In
peace, as well as war, they have been with
us heart and soul; rejoicing when we re-
joiced and weeping when we wept. Genu-
inc sons to the manor born; bone of our
bone and flesh of our flesh. X
PROGRESS.
In referring to the article of which the
above is an extract, the Register says
eve assure our good friend, ssProgres,
that we highly appreciate his kind words,
and intend, Providence permitting, to con-
tinue in the same faith in the future. We
have not grown tired of the teachings of our
fathers but revere and endorse them more
heartily as time goes on

Democrats Don't Propose to Divide Now.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
There is one thing that you can safely
count on in Virginia, and that is the De-
mocracy have no sort of idea of dividing"
on the tariff question. When the time
comes 1 think in other States the party will
act in the same way. 1t would be worse
than crime to let minor question override
far greater questions. What the people want
is ''to furn out the rascals'' now in power,
and have the Government run once more,
not for the benefit of star-route thieves,
monopolists, and rascals, but for their own
benefit. The man is blind who cannot see
the corruption and tyranny which have
grown up in the Republican party by it's
long lease of power. still stand on the
'Lynchburg PLATFORM" but l would not
care a fig if you had every day pure "free.
trade'' column, an incidental protection"
column, and "high protective TARIFF col
umn, and 1 think that is the feeling among
the Democrats generally all through the
State. Men who have fought so long
against the Republican party have too much
sense, on the eve ola fair prospect of a
victory, to divide on minor thing which
is out of their power to settle any way until
a change is made in the presidency.

INVADE WAIPPLE'S' TRIP TO GREENyILLE.-
A few weeks ago. Wade Whlpple'' had an
appointment to lecture in GreenviIle. He
went Notwithstanding the state of the weather
and the almost impossible roads. The Yon-
kers Gazette of New York of the 22nd publishes
letter of the lecturer, dated Staunton, March
4th, in which he gives graphic and humor-
Gus description of his "perils by flood and
field' in making the trip. We give below the
conclusion only, in which he speaks of Green
vile, not having room for the whole letter
which is long:
''Seen under better auspices I believe that
Greenville must be charming place. 1t is
nestled among beautiful hills, in the midst of
can be found in a days travel, has its business
marts clustered so closely together as to indi-
cate not only mercantile harmony but shrewd
design to establish the nucleus ofa city and its
railway facilities such as promise great
business development. Its people are as hearty
and clever a race as me would care to meet
provided Squire Mitchell, Merchants Duncan
and Palmer, Editor Burwell, of The Banner
"mein host" Myers and son, and citizens Nc
Clure and Pfaup are fair examples, and have
q doubt they are. Like enough, too. they're
not to blame for the state of the roads since
the top dressing of muck and cement that I
en- cOu ntered is doubtless brought to town by
the farmers and truckmen, accumulated as
they ride through the country; and deposited
here with the rest of their produce. If this is
to establish boundary gateways, at which mats
and leviathan scrapers should be placed, and
an armed officer put on duty to see to it tnat
every farmer and team is thoroughly wrung
out and fumigated before entering the town."
