pal Engineer of the James River and kanawha
Company, after am examination of the condition Of
the Blue Ridge Canal, has reported to the Board
Of Directors, now in session in this place, that the
damage caused by the recent frcshet may be re-

Tue s. human achievement stands secure
and aloit above her devouring flood, aud
never to be affected by il. These a
chievements he admires, and emulailng
these he treads the arduous paths that
lead To the same glorious heights. But
il is the home example that has most OF
this marvellous effect Who that d~ells
upon the great example near TO han m
time and place, and in congenial pur-
suit, but has felt himself animated, and
carried even beyond himself in his ef-
forts, on the sclf-inquiry, "Why should
| not do what my fellow has done, and
why should my equal outstrip and leave
me behind him in the race Of glory!"
Hence it happens that one sublime a.
chisvement, by It's animating influence,
begets another, and another, and anoth-
er, ill they cluster into constellation.
Hence, too, it happens that these con-
stellations break upon the world but pc
riodically. The brilliant eras which
mark the history Of all nations who have
greatly disting guished themselves, are to
be traced to the operation and force OF
this princip ple-the magical influence Of
great example, by compatriots on COM
patriots.
Who can doubt, then, but that the
constellation of naval victories which a.
dorns our naval annals, in our late war
with Great Britain, sprung from the spH-
it Of emulation kindled by the brilliant
exploit achieved in the capture and de-
struction of the frigate Philadel phiae-
That was the original spark, which,
spreading, and kindling as it spread, af-
terwards broke out into such blaze of
naval glory as to be seen over the earth,
and under the whole heavens; commence
ing with the attack and sudden destruc-
ton of the Guerrero on the ocean, (the
thunder is scarcely more sudden OH the
ightnmg's fash than was that destruc-
ton upon that attack, and closing with
the brilliant though bloody triumphs OF
our fleets on the Lakes.
The glorious achievement Of the Ie-
capture and destruction Of the
figate Philadelphia, the precursor and
progenitor Of 30 many others, remains a
