ring the absence Of Major Doneson, on visit to
Tennessee, the Washington Union is in the hands
of General Armstrong. The Generals patriotism
has been refreshed by the listening to the grea,
Grafton Of Mr. Webster on the laying Of the corner
stone Of the extension Of the capitol on the 4h Of
July In the Union Of the 9Th he offers this hand
some tribute to the Grafton, and to Mr.. Webster's
present powers Of oratory.
I" We heard him in the celebrated debate with
General Hayne, when the subjects Of notification
and secession discussed; and it seemed to us
that, although many years have passed since that
critical PERIOD there has been no falling off in the
force and effect Of his style Of oratory. There was
perhaps on this occasion, less Of the animation and
action Of ertenspore delivery, but more Of the easy
and calm utterance OF the thoughts suggested by
the nature Of the OCCASION and the character Of the
associations brought up by the condition Of our
country a. It now is, compared with what it was
when Washington laid the cornerstone Of the cap
ltol. There seemed to be no intention to dwell
upon any OF the party feelings Of the day. to i'm
press any other thought on such subject thar
what Is insepsrable from the influence Of the vene
rated name Of Washington, in reminding all true
Americans Of the duty Of maintaining the Unior
and the constitution the only real security TO
their favored institutions.
In this part Of the subject, Mr.. Webster wa
| truly eloquent, and was most enthusiastically
cheered. He seemed for moment TO have forgot
ten his notes. and we are inclined the belief tina
il he had done so more often, his whole discours
would have been more impressive. Take it as
whole. however, we are Of the opinion that it viii
be regarded a. one Of his best efforts and whic
the whole country will thank him for, as present
ing thoughts, motives, and hopes, that are calcula
ted, at this particular crisis in our countrys unpar
alieiied career, to increase the love of unon an,

THE VIRGINIA INSTITUTIoN.-We are indebted
to DR.. ]. c. NJ. MERLLLAr, Principal of the Blind
Department, for copy of the last annual report of
the Board of Visitors of the Virginia Institution for
the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind, located at this
place. This Institution has now been IN operation
little more than eleven years, and its beneficial
ries number one hundred and ninety-four. Of
this number sixty-one deaf and dumb, and thirty
two blind are pupils at the present time. Besides
the regular education impaired at the institution,
the pupils have an opportunity of acquiring
knowledge of the various trades of shoemaking,
carpentry, bookbinding, brushmaking, mattress
making and chairmaking; and the shops have not
only betrayed their own expenses-which in the
opinion of all who familiar with the subject is
"the very triumph of success" but have made
some profit. Of the admirable management of the
institution generally, and its inestimable benefits
to the pupils we need say nothing. On the latter
point, however, we learn from the report, that all
who have gone through the regular course of in
struchon prescribed by the regulations of the nsti-
tuition, and who otherwise would have lived and
died in ignorance, charges upon their friends or
the COMMUNICATIVE now supporting themselves
intelligent men and women, and useful members
of society.

Der, 1850, were S22SO6 21.
