ameng the otlicers-the number of comranies thai

backwardness and aversion to performing duty a.
mong the bod" of tho Militia--and consider these

On TIE DEATH OF SIR WALTER SCOTT
Another glorious star Inns SCI,
Which burned upon tisn ""r,hefn sky,
Grim death again his Sgnei set
Upon N spirit sour.ng high.
Gloom il upon the heIvcniy place,
Whore Fancy holds her boundies- reign,
And Genius turns aside his face,
To mourn for Walter Scott in vain.
The Minstrel who from Scotia's hills,
So long has poured his silver strain,
Who felt for human woes and ills,
Shall never feel AGAIN..
Tho Poet and tho Man is gone
Sir Walter Scott is now IN more:
The Joy which hailed his brilliant dawn,
Is turned to deepest WOO.
Who now eau wafl tho willing mind,
Biok to- the days of spear and shield,
Or all those hidden treasures find,
Upon the glorious battle field?
Who now can shadow forth TO life,
Those spirits of the ancient dead,
And bid them join in deadly strife,
AS it their spirits had not hcd1
The hand which held the wand is cold,
Tho grave has wrapped that noble form
Forever quenched that spirit bold,
Which rode upon the battle storm.
Forever! No, it cannot be.
Earth is u temple for his fame:
His spirit claims eternity;
And memory his mighty name.
Spirit of Burns. why do you sleep?
kindred spirit bows his head
Brcik up the trance Of death and weep,
For Walter Scott is with the dead
But there arc tears, mcthnks sec,
On Chcviots brow a minstrel stand,
Tier numbers float DER lawn and loa,.
Arc heard in every land.
She wears the weeds of deepest, woe:
The garland round her head is torn,
Her eyes With sorrow ovcrflpw--
She wcers for Walter Scott alone.

The Martinsburg Academy.

ME next session OF the School will com
a mence on Monday the 9h Of September
nert. Mr. WHANN, the late precertor, will
continue TO preside over the School. The
Trustees beg leave 20 call the attention of the
cItlzensotB Berkeley and the neighboring coun
ties TO this Institution. 1t has been some time
since they could venture to recommend it,
heartily, 10 the patronage of the public; they
feel warranted in dong so at this time.
Mr.. WHANN has for two years taught at
the Academy under the careful observation of
the Board, and they have every reason 10
congratulate themselves in their selection of
so worthy and competent feather. His
school has been distinguished for the quiet
and unobtruslve progress of his boys, There
have been several Of his scholars turned out
for College, who have entered with great
credit and the department and gentlemanly
discipline of Mr.. Whann, has had marked
effect upon the n,cisners of his pupils.
The boarding in Martinsburg is remarkably
cheap and the town healthy, and if any fur
Their inducement be wanting to parents, it
may be found in the fact that there is per
haps no town in Virginia, in which, less en-
ticements to dissipation be found than in
this village.
The studies OF the Academy are the Creek
and Latin languages elements of Mathe
mates. including Geometry, Algebra. Tligo
hometry, Surveying, &c. Scholars are taken
in all usual branches Of English education,
and il is believed, that with diligence, young
man may readily prepare himself under Mr..
Whann, to enter the Junior Glass in any Of
the Colleges
The terms for the SesSioa are:
For Classical Scholars sl2 80
For Scholars in the English branches $40
