8.-TURDAY EVENING, FEB. 11, 1871.
-PIRIT OK TUB MORIH-G I'ltK•>.<•.
AU the papors have a few words to say
this morning about tho war between tho
"Bob-tails" and tho "Bucktails,—or, as
tha Norfolk Journal had it, "Botsy and the
Bear." The debato in tho Legislature on
granting tho charter to the Bucktail rail
road yesterday was quite exciting, long and
interesting, and fills tho first pago of tho
Dispatch and also of the Enquirer. In the
firmer it is seasoned to suit tho Bob-tail
palate,—while tho latter gives the dish
plain as it comes from tho hands of the
cook, leaving tho public to season it for
themselves. Wo can't for our life see I
why all this fuss Bhould be made j
over so plain and simple a pra
position. Tho only question ia
"Shall we or shall wo not havo .. cheap aud
quick lino of communication to facilitate
trade and travel between the North and
tho South —between Richmond and Wash
ington V The people of Virginiasay "Yes."
But tho soulless corporations of McCready,
Moncuro Robinson and P. V. Daniel say
"No ; it will ruin our business. Wo now
do all this trado at our own prices, and a
rival lino would deprive us of the monopo
ly." They demand that a wall shall be
erected on the north side of the James that
nothing may pass North except by the
way of Norfolk and Portsmouth. Rich- ,
mond is to be dwarfed, whilo Norfolk will
not grow, under the baleful shadow of
Baltimore. Shall we be placed within
four hours ride of the Capital of the
nation on an all-rail lino, at half tho cost,
or still, under Baltimore auspices, content
ourselves with the amphibious, half-land
and half-water, terrapin-paced concern of
the bobtail's who
"By land and water, still renew the charge,
Stop short the chariot and board the barge;"
The Dispatch and Whig because they ]
ore "men of peace," think merß soldiers
have no business meddling with political '
philosophy or economy and therefore both
sneer at President Grant's recent message, :
in which he showed that the institutions
of Germany under the united Empire,
are in many respects similar lo our own. |
The President is right. i
Tho two countries, though widely dif- J
fering iv the mere forms of government, •
are in soul the same. It is a little too
much tho fashion with us to take it for :
granted that all who are not trained up as
pettifogging lawyers, know nothing about i
statesmanship. Tho Dispa'ch should be j
the last to indulge in this cant. Its cdi- .
tors aro all practical men, who, like the
President, have learned their political phi- ,
losophy in nature's own school of practice,
and worked out the problems of State craft j
by dint of their own inherent powers of ,
mind, without the aid of a master, oven as '.
did tho first statesmen, sages, and philuso
phers, who were their owu teachers. Such
are nature's statesmen, aud in such a •
school our best American politicians have •
graduated. President Giant, however,
has not, like a groat many of our best
statesmen, been left to his own resources I
entirely. His traiuing as a soldier also !
fitted "him for statesmanship ; and during
his brief career iv politics, ho has .shown
that what he did not already know, he has
been an apt scholar in learning. If we
can teach men nothing but tactics and
mathematics at West Point, the institution
might as well bo abolished. Because the
President was a plough-boy iv his youth,
and trained farm horses, and was not
afraid to work with his hands as well
as his head, these editors, who hold
to the Virginia notion that to soil ones
fingers with common work is degrad
ing,—laugh at tho idea of a backwoods
rustic discussing matters of Stato policy
and the philosophy of government. How
does tho Dispatch or the Whig know that
President Grant is not aa groat a statesman
as any editor" in Virginia, or as well
balanced in mind, aud level iv head ? Has
either of these editors ever had a conversa
tion with him on the subject that they
know so well what he does not know ? Or
do tbey merely say he is no politician be
cause he is a great soldier, —and it is
the silly fashion to look upou
all soldiers a3 mere machines, who should
not go beyond the articles of war and the
army regulations ? Had General Grant
only read tho code of practice in some
backwoods lawyer's office, and received a
license to practice in a county court, made
a Fourth of July oration, been elected to
a State legislature, and then sent to Con
gress, instead of following the banners of
his country to Mexico, doi_g good service ou
foreign soil, and later by his great military
genius, saved the Union from destruc
tion, by such Democratic enemies as our
Richmond editors, he might have been a
statesman worthy of their highest admira
tion. We kuow hundreds of men who
have reputations for statesmanship, which
thoy have mado by " sucking the braios "
of others—by storing their memories with
the axioms and aphorisms of great men.
If books could make statesmen and
civilians, we should have no lack of them
But, unfortunately, it requires mind as
well as matter.
For our own part, we put more faith in
President Graot's intuitive, instinctive,
practical, soldiery statesmanship, and in
the correctness of his notions of political
and economic philosophy, than iv al! the
book-crammings of a whole Senate
lioubo of built-up and made-to-order poli
ticians, statesmen, and economists.
Apart from these sneering aUusions to
the President's ignorance of State-craft,
for likening tho German Union to our own
Union—and which we hold as a truthful
comparison—there is nothing in the Dis
patch or Whig of special interest,
except the heavy skirmishing of tho
both fight on the Bubtail side; but
as the smoke of conflict is very dense
all along their lino, we cannot yet
discover what effect tho firo from tho
Bucktails has had, though occasionally we
get a glimpse of a stump-tail bobbing
around among tho trees, dodging the bul
lets aud making fur the rear. In a few
days the bugles nf the Bncktails will sound
the charge all along tlie line, and then—
"Good-bye, Bobtail—rag-tag and all."
The Enquirer opens all its batteries
against tho combination of monopolists
who arc endeavoring to induce tho Legisla
ture~to complete the ruin of Kichmond and
Virginia, by confirming them in their
privilege to fleece tho people of the Stato
by their exclusive lines of trade and travel.
In two columns of close argument, it
forciblyj sets forth tho advantages which
will accrue to this city and the whole State,
if the charter asked by the Alexandria and
Bichmond road be granted. It also brings
some of tho Whig's chickens homo to roost,
by quoting what it mid in favor of tho
Pennsylvania Central road a few months
ago. Says the Enquirer :
We believe thai lo trrant thia ml 'r will
months ago, thus did speak :
"Wo hear that the Pennsylvania Central
owe- Its eminent success to the policj of identi
fying its own prosperity with that of a coun
try which it traverses, and, by the lowest pos- |
sible charges, stimulating the greatest possible
quantity of products."
We recognize that suoh n policy—to uso our
neighbor's woid's—"ls to make a railroad a
blessing instead of a curse, and ice commend it
(the Pennsylvania Central) at an example
worthy of imitation to all our railroads."
That's wormwood for tho Whig, no sus
pect. But the Enquirer goes on :
Wo are not apprised of any change in the
policy of tho Pennsylvania Central, and we
can hardly imagine a greater joy to our peo
ple, from Richmond ts the Potomac, than to
I havo a road, whose policy is to identify its otcn
prosperity vith that of the country which it
traverses. This peop!o have realized to Ihe
very bottom, what a curse a railroad may be;
now, in God's name, let tbem hare a chance
to find a blessing.
We favor the building of railways in every
section where tho people desire it, and the
money can be found to construct them, with
such restrictions, howeve-, ns will prevent in
jury to the Stato or her people. Not for one
moment would we consent to give such unre
stricted privileges as would place Iho right to
bnild beyond the power of control by tbe State.
Tho Pennsylvania company, as we are as
sured, have no wish or design to damago our
cities or our Slate, and have signified an entire I
willingness to accept of any restrictions which
will protect all from real or imaginary preju
dice.
Our ideas exactly. Let railroads be built
by whomsoever may choose to build them, I
anywhere and everywhere. Tlie public
will be benefited by it, and Ihe prosperity of
tho Stato increased. Let tho carrying
business be as free and untrammoled us I
any other industry, and wo will prosper. I

I I MADAMK DKLACIIAMI'S
l
ALONG IN A MOUNTAIN GORPE
SNUGLY KNSCONCBD AMID TUB WILDS OJ
one of tho Middle states, lived Madame I>el«
champs, many ytM.ru ago, with no known protec#Dr.
save a faithful dog that over stood beside her to do
fond in time of need. ITer small, moss-covered
cabin, wrapped with tho wild rose and honeysuckle,
appeared bid away by a cluster of undergrowth,
and closely envirri.i-,1 Yu the north and east by a
deop, craggy ravine that led away back to tlio moun
tain fcorge.
Hero, sniffling the ambient ajr, wafted frOB na
ture's grooii sward clinging to the mountain Ride,
bathing her brow in early morn's gontlo dim-drop,
ftie lived solitary and alone for many long years
Tho catamounts unearthly midnight yell, and the
wolfs dolefnl bowl, frequently aroused her from
pleasant midnight slumbers.
Now and theu she would emergo from hor un
known home and mingle with* the Inhabitants
around aboiii for one or two months at a time. She
was eccentric in her acts, and all viewed hor as a
living curiosity.
While from home, she apparently had but ono ob
ject, and that was the relief of her afllictod bo:..
Under a bait on her left sido, could bo soon an old
fashioned dirk of considerable size, carried fur Iter
own protection, while strapped across her shoulder
was suspended a curious sack made from tho
SKiNS OF RABBITS AND RACCOONS
arranged iv altomato stripes. This bag contained
somo old parchment, curious robes, a low light gar
ments, and a smaller sack containing a ooabbs pow
der, mado from certain roots known only to herself,
the secret of which she clung to as with the tenacity
of death. She sallied forth from her wild mountain
home, to act the Good Samaritan, with thisunknowu
vogotable powoer, which she claimed possessed a
wouderlul power over all diseases incident to the
iemalo sex. Sho termed it "womb physic," with
which she proposed, to cure all afflictions and de
rangements of that organ, and kindred complaints,
paEa of charge. With such ■ ngular magic did aba
rtdievo all who applied, that within a few years her
name and fame became known far and wide, and hun
dreds of suffering females applied for relief and re
turned to their homes healthy and happy. Han)
wero anxious to know her gr-at sccro'.nnd large
en tub «o>f money wcro offered it she would divulge it ;
but sho stubbornly refused.
T)urlng her solitary life, she becamo Intimate with
only oho woman, a noted midwife some miles distant,
to whom Bhe promised to
DiVULQK 818 SECKKT
beforo dying. In a fow years, as the sombre shades
of night togai) to close around ler tottering frame,
iho imparted litis great secret to this friend.
******
She too gained gui to a reputation for relieving the
nifferiug of her sex, and strange as It may appear,
tho scarcely over f.iiled to cure those old chronic fe
male complaints that had resisted all ordinary modes
)f troatmeut. Many years ago, the writer of this,
fvhilo engaged In the practice of medicine,by a little
itrategy, succeeded in procuring tho secret of this
rvondorful Vegetable Rogulator, which bad never
>een known to tho Medical Profession.
Ho gave it a fair and impartial trial In tho treat
uent of various forms and stagos of female com
daints with such decided satisfaction, that in 1800 he
ailed public attontiort to its virtues in
"GROSS' MKDICO CHIRURGICAL REV.KW."
Combined with other known vegetablo Tonics,
laving great power over the uterine organs ; with
Hack Root to act upon the Liver snd Bowels, and
Soluble Citrate of Iron fo correct the blood, he.has
ormed a wonderful coinbinatK.n far the cure of all
female Complaints, considering it the only Female
legulattr buown, and now oiWs this vatua>lecom
pound to tho afflicted female, undo; the name of
ENGLISH FKMALE MITERS.
i
The Medical Profession at Urge, havo long felt the
teed of just such a medicine, consequently itiSMot '
trange that they so eagerly proscribe and recom
ueiul these Bitters to their female patients.
If you could hoo tho pile of smiling approvals and
ncomiums from physicians and the public who havo
urod their wives, their danghters aud their friends, j
►y the nso of these Bitters, no sickly female would
lusitate to use them. This Female Regulator is j
.dapted for old, young, married or single females, '
vho are affected with acute or chronic forms of J
Jterino derangements. They cure painful, sup- J
tressed, scanty, profuse or irregular Menstruation,

iold Feet and I'ands, loss of Appetite, Indigestion,
orpid Livor, Melancholly, Nervousness, Wakeful- '
less, Barrenness, physical Prostration, etc., etc. •
■(.my of those are relieved by tho use of only one
tottlo. [
THE LIVER AND BTOMAOII
>ro thoroughly aroused and restored toa healthy ac
iuii, by tho use ot these Bitters, its ueeuliaa Iron
iud Vegetable combination, plac.ru it far ahead of
my similar preparation before the public.
Females, after confinement am! convalescents from
,uy dobilitating complaint, who remain woak and
beolo, with little or no apposite, are at once aroused
•ad strengthened by their use. As a Family Tonic
or iiiuu, women and children, it has no equal. One
abJoHpoonful contains more medical properties, than
ma bottle Of any of tho common and pleasant "di
nte alcohol" bitters, to bo found all over tho country,
tVhen the manufacturers of tin* common hoverugts

augh ut your stupidity iv being bo can ly humbugged

Übai no equal on this continent, acting powerfully

uother at the "change of life," it soothes and quiet"
until tire critical period is passed, as sweetly as If
