determined that Rockbridgc shall take the right of
the line.
To this she is entitled by size. Sac may be rs
Jealous rs any-she is not more so.
Reader, have you ever been in Rockbridge |!
Have you ever seen her lofty mountains, and her
romantic dells, green with the influence OF summer
or basking beneath the soft and mellow light of Oc
tober! She seems of all other places, a spot where
the mountain nymph Liberty, would select her
abode, were she expelled from other quarters of
the world.
There is n wilducsS, and a sublimty, about the
natural scenery of Rockbridge, which renders it,
above all other countries which we have seen, n
spot peculiarly adapted to the nurture Of a race of
frcemen, who found in all countries. To abound
in the highlands.
The inhabitants of ockbridgc bear spirits con-
genial to the tremendously sublime scenes among
which they were born.
The mountain goat is not more free than the
hunter who pursues him. The soul of the noun
taineer, is fresh the air of his mountains.
Withall, they possess. as body of men, nm
derStandngS of uncommon acuteneSS, and bodies
which might rival in size those of the sons of Anak.

mined to erect the banner of liberty, should his re-
verses compel him to leave the level country in the

men, who, marching down from their inaccessible
heights to Join Lafayette, drew from the French

the ancestors of these men, who. when Ferguson
was laying waste the iairest portions of South Ca
rolina, poured down upon his band of marauders,
like an avalanche, and crushed them into atoms
Rockbrldge will always be found on the right of
the line, when battle is to be fought Tor the liber-
ty of our common country. If we yield her this
post, however, it is only on account of her superior
size, and gigantic strength. We, in Richmond,
can rival her in zeal, at least, if not in ength.

more certainty. Great men will think alike
When we were going to the fire on Wednesday
night, we passed group of negroes, working an
engine, and singing if they were in the very

ture of the crime of arson; they think it v
miscellaneous, to be sure to set a house on fire
but then there is the fun, and the roc, the liquor
and the money. We do not know who "Juyoris''

streets. Why is there any longer delay on the

Mr. Bots Speech at The Madison Ward Meet


We regret TO see that this speech has been most
inaccurately reported in the columns of another
Wing paper. We mean no unkindness to the edi-
tor of that paper, or his reporter; we have the
kindest feelings towards both. But this report is
sowell calculated TO give false idea of Mr. Bolts
powers that we cannot let it pass in silence. We
discover that part fthe speech of Mr.. Bassett,
who preceded Mr. Bolts, has been interviewer with
his, and made part OF it. The whole perform
ance bears not the faintest resemblance to Mr..
Bolts speech actually delivered.
