Gen Rosser's Speech.

General Thomas l.. Rosser delivered q
speech before the Confederate Memorial As
ISOLATION at Stanton on Saturday. He
spoke of nations erecting monuments to
their heroic dead. He said the difference
between the Northern and Southern monu-
msnts was that in theSouth they were erect
cd over graves to virtue and patriotism and
in the North, in cities, by pharisacal Yam
KEGS to enhance real estate and over the
graves of bounty jumpers and hirelings and
empty graves AID they expected God al.
mighty and the Angel Gabriel to resurrect
their les. Southern soldies fought for the
rights of States and the integrity of homes
for virtue and patriotism the Northern
men for self. plumber and pay. Ia 1861 the
integrity of the Southern States was in
danger. They withdrew from the cor
ruptive influence to secure peace and pros
perity. 1.-THE Southern people are Saracen

socialism and anarchism in the North from
which we are free. 1t has been said that we
are the same people, but that was long
time ago. New evolution, or some process,
has made us different creatures, and soon
capital and oppressed manhood will flee to
the South where honest men can protect

SENATOR EDMUNDs says the best means
TO obtain free ballot ard a fair count is to
entrust the execution of the registration
and election laws to men OF the highest
character and ability in the respective pre-
cincts, taken from all parties. Good
enough. But if, as General Malone says oi
his party, there be not enough intelligent
men in some of the counties of Virginia to
Fl j the Offices thereof, how is it possible that
men of the highest character and ability can
be found in that party, in those counties, 10
fill the moro numerous registration and
election Offices? The chief cause Of most OF
the differences between the North and the
South is the dense and utter ignorance OF
the true condition of southern sfiairs appar-
emily nursed by northern people.
