Is known to US (says the edi.or) as gentleman of

this how Infamous is the attempt now made by the
iocooco papers TO asperse the reputation and under
rate the talents of the glorious old man whose hui
mainly has won the American heart, and whose

A WORD TO THE WINGS.


This is the last opportunity which we
shall have of addressing word TO our Wing
friends before the election. and we cannot
iorego the occasion to urge upon them the
necessity and importance of continued aclivi-
~ and effort. TUESDAY NEXT, the great
contest will be decided and momentous are
The issues, as we all believe, which are de-
pendent upon 1t. Is it asking too much of
them, then, that they devote the few re-
naming days, zealously and actively, to the
success of our cause ? Much is still to be
done-much may yet be effected by u.s.
and certainly there is much to animate and
encourage our exertions. The belief is gain
ing strength daily, that VIRGINIA can be re-
deemed, and our friends every where are de-
termined 10 make the effort From all parts
OF tho Commonwealth, we have The cheering
tidings that numbers of those heretofore op-
posed to us, are throwing off the shackles of
party, and ranging themselves by our side,
under the banner of the brave old soldier and
tried patriot, ZACHARY TAYLOR. In the Mid
die and Underwater counties-in our own
Valley--in the Northwest and Southwest
we hear of them by ten, twenties, fi(lies,
and even by hundreds. The Abingdon Viz
ginan boldly proclaims that there is not
county in Southwestern Virginia, where the
changes are less than fifty, and that in one or
two of them they are four times that number.
aJWHIGs OF AUGUSTA, we ask YOU. in
view of these things, seriously and earnestly,
what does it become you to do Can you
prove delinquent at juncture so encourage
ing and so important With what shame
and humiliation would you contemplate de-
feat,-you who have borne the Wing banner
aloft so steadily for years in defiance of every
disaster,-if that defeat, now i'm the hour of
our hope and anticipated triumph, should, in
any degree, be attributable to your apathy
and your suPineness. Is not the bare pos
siblIlty OF such result enough to arouse
you to the most vigorous action We doubt
not that it is. No true Wing can allow
such reproach to fall upon our county, if
his individual efforts may prevent it. AU.
GusTA ought to give majority of 800 for
Gen. TAYLOR, and she can do ii, if her full
vote IS polled. Let us see to it, then. that
1T is DONE.

AMERICAN INSTITUTE.

The Twenty first Annual Fair Of the American
Institute was opened Tuesday the Sd Of Octo-
Der, at Castle Garden, New York, and closed on
Saturday the 2lst ul,., with an address from its
venerable President, Gen TALMADGE. The open
ing address was delivered by the Rev. DIR. j. o.
CHouLEs, Of Newport. Rhode Island. Rev. DIR.
TYING, of the City Of New York, delivered the an
nual address, the regular appontee, Hon. WASH.
INoroN Hunt, being prevented from attending by
sickness in his family. The Fair is said TO have
presented an unusually rich and extensive display
oil specimens of Improvement in mechanics, manu-
lectures and the arts.-The catalogue fills forty
three closely printed pages. Agriculture also came
in for full share of the honors, i'm all the depart
men's OF farm industry. The collections of vegc-
tables, fruits and flowers, were particularly fine and
attractive The number Of vsiiers was beyond all
precedent-the admission fees averaging about one
thousand dollars day. The managers, we learn,
have ii in contemplation, soon as their funds adj
init Of 1t, to erect suitable building for the Inst
tue, and also TO establish an agricultural college
and farm school. In connection with the Fair, a
Convention of Fruit Growers was held, in which
twelve States were represented, with specimens of
their fruits. "A material object Of the Convention,
1--WE learn from the address of Gen. TALMApaE, }
is to correct the catalogue of rui,s-purge the pre-
sent numerous names for the same variety-and to
determine and select the names of the varieties
deemed useful for individual culture-As an exam
pie the list of nearly two hundred varieties of the
grape was reduced to fifteen or twenty.-Apples,
pears, plums, Sc, underwent somewhat proper
tionable reduction.
We are truly gratihed TO hear of the continued
prosperity of this great Institutions believing as we
do, that it is comforting the most substantial bene
fits upon the country.

A GOOD WING MOTTO.

MY wounded are behind me, and will never pass
them alivc."-Gcn. Taylor
What sententious subimity is embodied in this
sentence! How strikingly it cXcmplifes the Old
Heros humanity! Indomitable courage and the
tenderest sympathy are beautifully blended in his
noble character This language was addressed.
while the terrible conflict of Beuna Vista was a, its
height, to the gallant Davis, of Mississippi. He
had been cut down at the head of his regiment
lie knew the merciless spirit of the enemy, and
that to fall into their hands was certain death. II
was doubtless alusion to this spirit which eli
cited this sublime remark. ssMy wounded are
behind me-" says Old lack .'rhey are secure
until we are driven from our present position. The
odds are iearIully against us and we may be beat
en- but you, and the noble men who like you
nave been wounded. are safe SO long as we live !;
tor WE WILL NEVER PASS THEM ALIVE"
The occasion upon which this language was ut
tered was one of affecting interest. With a 500
men, Gen TAYLOR was fighting 20, 900 Mexicans
lie saw his men falling upon every hand, and the
enemy rushing forward with furious courage and
ilmpetuoslly unequalled in any previous combat
The stoulest hearts trembled for the issue Defeat
seemed inevitable. While thus pressed, and when
the bravest expected every moment TO be compelled
10 give way under the weight of the mass advanc-
ing upon them, Cen TAYLOR, in the same breath
that he issued his orders and cheered ON his brave
followers, was pressing the hand and pouring the
words oil comfort into the ear of his wounded Col

Within few weeks several gangs have been
dropping back again to their homes in the interior,
e 9ut none OF them have brought any runaways.-
Some however have returned with several more
horses than they took away some with a quantity
OF Mexican dollars, and others have returned emp

The expedition and since their return, has Given

count lately published in the Mexican papers. that
party OF adventurers from Texas had entered the
towns of Sablnas and Aldana, and robbed the in
habtants of large amount of property. gives the
report some degree of authenticity. The Mexican
papers say that the commander of the military post
at Laredo, when called upon to arrest tke robbers
replied that, his force was not sufficient for the
purpose"
