a SCENE OF by GONE DAyS

Perhaps one OF the leading reasons WHY Virginia
hes progressed SO little from her standing in the
18th century, may be found in that very thing
which once constituted her chief glory and
one OF the leading characteristics OF her in.
fsbitants She was populated with hospi,a-
bic, easy, reckless, of hand people that neither
worked or respected those who did. neither
ploddcd or respected the plodder. Their soil
rch, climate fine slaves abundant and fish and
game delicious, and they never considered
themselves designed to be troubled with sub
lunary cares until they and their slaves had
eaten and drank their land caught the fish a nd
kilied ali the fowl These tender circumstan-
oes have not, however, had the effect of driy-
ing the thouGhtlcss spirit entirely from Yir.
gina, though they have done much towards
producing reformation, that would seem 10
tegeneral, though not constant. The spiri,

Gently published sermon on Fire, water and

to women: "She is often the occasion of much
trouble and mischief to man. For her he tolls

drunk-ior her he left Pa.adise-for her he
blows his brains out, and for her ne makes a

THE TARIFF.-we have seen evidences

THE TARIFF.-we have seen evidences
ourrcn, that there is design on the par, of the
admini'tration to repeal OF modify the tariff
of 1872, upon the express ground that i, sf.
fords too much protection to the manuiactur-
eis. We do not think it probable that they
can succeed IN this uetarious s,hcme but the
fear on the apprehension of 1t will affect
much'injury 10 the country, especially to the
small manufacturers Of the west, and the pos.
sibiiity that the repeal may be effected, that
80 great an evil may be visited upon us, is in
itself alarming and calls for our united, strong
and pcrsevering efforts to prevent it. There
should, then. at once, be meetings of the peo-
pie held, without regard to party, in those
states where the people are oil tariff men, and
circumstances, loud, long and deep. sent up
70 the powers that be, against measure SC
franght with ruin. We should not rest salts
fed in the conviction that the loco focos of tn,
north are tariff men. What has union o.
the south and the erecutire erer tried that il
has not accomplished? Awake and act. A
meeting here, and petitions would do good.
Will not one be called?

AN ACTRESS for the heavy business, is
described in letter from Mr.. 6. w. Kendall
10 the Picayune, dated Petersburg Va, thus:
by the way do you recollect Mrs. Lewis, an
actress who was wont, some five or six years
since, to astonish the frequenters of the old
Camp street theatre in your city by her mas
cullne personations-a woman who would
play Richard the Third with an additional
broadsword combat, turn a somerset, dance a
sailor shornpipe, fire rifle, and sing a comic
song, and all on the same evening! She is
here, in Petersburg, doing some ten or fifteen
characters nightly, according TO the bills, and
with immense success at that | had entirely
lost the run of this highly concentrated melo-
dramatic planet until saw her name upon
the walls this morning, with the usual accom-
paniments of "ists" and astonishers (n-'.-'s
and !s) surrounding it. She it was who
brought out and performed, four hundred and
seventy-nine nights in one year the immensely
thrilling nautical drama, founded on several
facts entitled 1.-THE Bloody Black Brig OF
Bermuda, or the Last Words of Bill Jonesi'-

WONDERFUL, IF TRJrELThe

WONDERFUL IF TRUE.-The Gazette
des Tri6undr relates the following anecdote,
to the truth OF which we should be sorry TO
pledge ourselves :--''M. P had two enam
el shirt studs surrounded by a small fly of bur
nished steel, 50 beautifully wrought that he
frequently deceived his friends by leigning to
be annoyed by flies. One of these studs was
lost. Nj. P had certain suspicious, but
Tor want of proof thought it prudent to sup
press them. The following year the fellow
stud also disappeared, whereupon the old SER
want was accused of theft and dismissed. Some
days afterwards Madame P perceived a
large spiders web behind the wainscot of her
apartment, and upon brushing it down what
was her surprise at seeing the two missing
studs fall to the ground An enormous spi-
der, deceived by the resemblance, and thinking
to have caught fly, had hidden the studs in
its web. The innocence of the servant being
thus proved, she was instantly recalled"

n SAD CASE.-The Westminster penn. J
Jeifersonian, in noticing the death OF John
Patton, lad ii years old, attributes il To the
melancholy effects produced by the murder oi
the brother OF til, deceased. Wesley Patton.
by Jabez Boyd. The editor SAYS :-.' The mu-
,ilated and disiigurcd remains of Wesley
haunted his imagination day and night. and
gave his youthful memory no rest To Use
his own language he could not cover Wesley
up"
From the moment OF beholding the sad and
narrowing spectacle presented in the fiendish
murder OF an atfectionate brother. a deep and
settled gloom took possession OF his mind
which the constant care of those around him
could not alleviate. He was sent to school.
in hopes that the scenes of boyish fancy, and
the mingled play OF young associates would
bring back the life and JOY TO his eye, but no,
there was no rest, no respite from the gloom
around him. I'm the midst OF play, and while
repeating his lessons, the spectacle was still
before him, and he would burst out in uncon-
trolable grief, until the heart sickcned at his
suffering.
His frame sunk under the oppression, and
still the vision was there; and when, a short
time before his death, maternal care hung over
and inquired his wants, il was still Wesley"
g Wesley is giving me drink of water" was
his reply. Who can fathom the depths of his
sufferings? But they are now over he has
left this earthly scene, and passed into the EN-
brace OF an atfectionate brother, who stood
upon the bright shores of eternity, reckoning
him to scenes OF joys unnumbered."
