THE TWENTY-SECON

As far as we have been able 10 learn, the
several military companies passed the day
very agreeably. We ourselves dined at the
CITY Hotel with the Blues, having received
their invitation first. The dinner was every
way worthy of the reputation OF the house and
of the hest. Canvas-backs were as plentiful
as blackberries, and all the good things ct the
season were to be had for the asking. The
festival was conducted on the total abstinence
principle so, of course, nothing can be said
about the drinkables. We had some very
lively sentiments and several very fine speech
es from Maj. August, Capt. Patton ex-captans
Shepherd and Munford. Our greatly esteemed
fel!ow-citizen, Maj. Joseph Selden, in reply to a
highly complimentary toast by Captain Au
gust, made few remarks relative to his SER
vices, characterized by great modesty. lie
disclaimed having done more than soldiers
duty, aud said that his services were not at all
comparable to those of other Virginians whom
he mentioned as having been present al the
battles in which he himself took part. The
little speech of Major Selden was quite mo-
del-and CALAMITY as he fought and freely as
he shed his blood, we feel confident that there
was no one who heard it, that did not think it
almost as creditabe TO him as the undaunted
valor with which he mounted the ranparts of
Chapultepec. He toasted the Blues in return.
There were many other sentiments, but we left
the table about that time TO pay visit to our
friends, the Dragons, at tn Broad-street Ho
tel. The dinner was over before we got there
so we had no opportunity to see what our
friend, Colonel Blakey, had done for his
guests. We know very we'll, however, that
the Colonel is not man TO be behind his neigh
bors on such occasions; and we learned, in
fact, that he had given the Dragons glorious
spread. We should have suspected as much,
for they seemed to be in fine spirits when we
entered. Many sentiments were given and re-
sponded to with great mirth and good humor.
We take this occasion to apologize TO our
friends of the other companies, for not having
paid The proper attention to their several invi-
tations. We should have visited as MANY OF
them as we could, but the rain prevented US
from going farther than we did.

his representations of famous orators, is ma
king arrangements TO deliver g course of lee
lures in this city. When they shall have been
completed, due notice will be given. MIR. w.
has just returned from Great Britain, where
his representations seem TO have created
great sensa ton. The London Musical World
speaks ofhim thus !:
1--WE have ii not in power to test the reality Of
Mr.. Whitneys impersonatious, not being acquainted
with the original but from diversity of voice, atti
tude emphasis and language of each assumption, and
the very fehcitous manner in which each individual
character sustained may fairly conclude that
they had truth for their basis He is gifted with
strong musical and sweet voice, and when animated
as in Henry Clay and Indian Sachem Red Jacket he
speaks with the greatest variety of manner and tone
Such indeed the peculiar gracetulness of his per-
son, attitude, action, and the mellow tones Of his
voice. that he was listened to by all with perfect de-
light and the assumption of the Indian, every one
appeared to be engrossed and borne away with the
orator In these thrilling dehneations he produces
extraordinary effects by look, tone, gesture"

LOCAL MATTERS.

Try VIRGINIA MrLrTARr INSTITUTE --On Tues.
day we stated that Nc. Baldwin hsd presented to
the Senate a petition of Mr.. Peyton Johnson, OF
this ei,v asking an examination into the rules, re-
eulations and practices oil the Institute towards
cadets. and that tn Senate had appointed special
committee on the subject. The petitioner com
plains that pay cadet, ward OF bis, has been dis.
missed from the Institute, together with several
others. for reasons mostly "trifing and ridicu.
lous in their character and in violation of Article
II of the Regulations of the Institute, providing
tha, if " any cadet shall have number expressing
his demerit In the general conduct roll, greater
than leo By the first of January, such cadet shall
be declared deficient in conduct and be reported
by the Faculty to the Board of Visitors for disms-
sai." This section it is alleged. was disregarded
by the superintendent, who recently dismissed
several cadets without reference to the Board of
Visitors. The Board, the petitioner states, had
their attention called to the subject early the
10th of January last but they have not yet met to
take the subject into consideration. He therefore
prays that the Senate will institute inquiry into
the regulations and management of the Military In.
sttute at Lexington, and also into the powers and
duties of the Board ct Visitors in relation to ap-
peals by cadets from the decisions of the Institute
and especially into the causes and manner of the
late dismissals.
The committee owe it to themselves, and to the
State, which is largely interested in the Institute,
to give the subject thorough investigation and to
recommend such legislation as will correct the
abuses which are said to exist The dismissal CT
child from school is mark of disgrace, which
the child nay not duly appreciate, but which may
be source of much disqlue,uie TO parents. Such
step should not be taken without good, sufficient
| and weighty reasons, and in strict conformity to
the laws and regulations for the government of the
Institution. 1t is important, too, thst those laws
and regulations be such as are proper just and cal
culated to shield all parties from imposition or ty
ranny. Any other basis of government may seri
ousy affect the popularity and prosperity Of the
Institute important establishment of learning
| In which the State has deep interest.

'BENJAMIS PIERCE THE ancestor Of
the family of Franklin Pierce, President
Of the United States, has not been def
nitely settled. Some think it was Robert
of Woburn, 1850. am strongly inclined
to the belief that it was Daniel of New bury,
1857, from whom descended Benjamin,
born Goth Feb 1869: who has son Ben
iamln, born 18th June, 100. If we may
form conjecture Of origin from traits, we
may pretty safely conclude that the late
Gov. Benjamin Pierce, of Hillsborough,
father of President Franklin Pierce, was
of the stock of Benjamin, Of New bury,
who died May, I'LL, aged AZ years. In
the old burying ground in Byfeld, which
was parish of Ncwbury, the following
inscription is found on tombstone:
