VIRGINIA ARGUS.
RI C II VI o ND:
MONDAY, MARCH Is. 1878.

The mediation of Russia, which has been
offered in so friendly way to'termna,e our
dispute with Great Britain, and which, we are
assured, has been accepted in. the same spi
rit with which 1T has been profIered, has
good deal startled the tories. . They are

had divulged the circumstancc-ke f5fe he utter

with propriety, have spoken with SD much

nifty, as to the spirit Of Mr.. sIadison's speech,
whether The offers d mediation of Russia had
been KIN own ornot The mediation, tho It may
lead peace and fit does not so lead, it will be
the fault OF Great Britain and the tories-is
not, certainly, any sort of assurance that peace
SsiH take place. Instances enough are known
OF med,ations failing in their object. And
moreover, the one in question, however it may
indicate the good disposition Of the Eempcror
lexander, is no proof at all ct the Prince Re :
gents Wish to abandon his unjust pretensions
in relation to this country There would,
therefore, have been no improperly in Mr.. Ma
discn's uttering his late inaugural speec CHI even
il Mr.. DaschkoH's proposal had been previ
ously published. At the very moment, or a
little before the mediation presented itself,
British squatlrons, from all accounts, were
preparing to batter down some of our town.,
SIR George Provost was invading our territory,
and the Indians numbering our citizens woun-
ded in battle. Surely the knowledge of the
mediation, under such circumstances, would
not require that the President should soften
his tone, and speak of the bloc stained gov.
ernment of Britain with tenderness The mis-
fortune in this case, Of all the tory logic-and
by the way, falsehood is with that cast of PEG.
pie very common misfortune--is, that the
proposition was not made by Mr.. DaschkoH
until Congress adjourned for the session F.; and,
notwithstanding the time when it was made is
not at all Important, yet the little low, lying
cunning With which the tory printers attempt
to dscolor The fact, serves TO mark more dis
tinctly their subserviency to the enemy and
their absurd hostility to the unquestionable
rights OF the United States. That tie media
ton has been accepted, serves on the other
hand, to pourtray the true character of adj.
ministration, which seizes with avidity every
opportunity for the restoration Of good un.

Chihcothe, 9th .lEzrch, 1913.
Two gentlemen arrived i'm town last night
from the army, and bring the important in
formation that Gen. Harrison has gone on
to Maiden with 5000 men for the purpose
of destroying the Queen Charlotte, and other
vessels there, some Of which are said to be
building. 1t is stated that Capt. Langham
with 200 regulars forms the vanguard to
this force; and that Harrison commands
in person and has taken number of his
common with him. He had previously learn
ed from Canada. that the British reiaforce-
ments which had been on the march for
Maiden, from the lower part of the pro-
vince, lad been all ordered back, in conse
quence of the movements of the army of
the centre. 1t is probable the British force
at Maiden at this time is inconsderabie.
and may have considered themselves secure
from Harrison in consequence of the defeat
of Winchester.
We will probably have important news
from that quarter in few davs, which
will take the earliest opportunity of com
municating TO you. MAJ. Lut.
