U Our friend and neighbor, Oliver p. Bald
win, delivered an address upon the occasion OF
the recent anniversary before one of the Litera-
ry Societies of Williamsburg, which is thus
spoken of by a correspondent of the Enquirer:
To the Editors Of the Enquirer.
Sirs The good people of Williamsburg
have Just been charmed by speech delivered
in the Chapel of William & Mary College, by
your townsman, o. P. Baldwin, Esq. MIR. b.
had accepted, some time since, an invitation
from the young gentlemen of the Phoenix
Society Of our College, to address them on
fulflment of that engagement. His reputa
ton, founded on former efforts in your city
and elsewhere, had preceded him, and our
expectations had been awakened butit gives
me pleasure to say, as can say with the most
perfect truth, that those expectations have been
more than realized-and this is the universal
sentiment of all who heard the address.
Mr.. BIS subject was Vrginia-her past and
her future-with particular reference to the
means by which that future may and should
be made great and illustrious. The picture
which he drew of the position which Virginia
once occupied in this great confederacy ct
States--the analysis Of the elements of her
past greatness and the eulogy which be pro-
nounced upon the Observation-Disclosures. the devo-
ton and the patriotism which governed her
con iuct in all her federal relations during the
period of her supremacy, were at once ipstruc-
tive and eloquent. How different, argued the
orator, and argued most forcibly and impress.
siyely. the uses to which Virginia applied her
power when the sceptre was inher hands, from
that to which it is applied now that the sceptre
has passed from her. But the most interesting
part of MIR. BIS address was that in which he
depicted the future OF the old Commonwealth,
which, he predicted, must be great and glori.
Gus, and the appeals which he made to his
audience in this connection, abounded with
striking argument and eloquence.
Inc address is to be published, and will
send you copy. You will be richly reward.
ed by the perusal. 1t is the best thing of the
sort we ever remember to have heard.

70 THE PETERSBURG INTELLIGENcER,
came to us yesterday in new suit. 1t is
greatly improved. by having passed through
the firery furnace. That rare and seldom
quoted story about the Phoenix, will very like
ly be referred TO by some as being once more
happily illustrated in this renewal of he In
telligencer in all its prestine vigor and beauty.
But that Phoenix story is humbug, real fish
story; therefore, it does not at all compare
with the case of the Intelligencer, which is a
matter of fact. Long may it live and flourish
under the control of its present Editor.

In noticing the Oratorio Of Absolom, to be
performed in short time, we made mistake.
1t was stated in the Dispatch, it was to be con-
Quoted by Mr.. STADELMAN. That gentleman
will lead the Orchestra, for which duty he is
very competent. The entire performance will
be conducted by Mr.. S. 5. STEVENS, musical
