A MOTION.

The people Of Virginia have Just witnessed
an exhibition Of their own strength and pros
! perity, (says the piedmount Wing, } the most
gratifying that could well be conceived, and
one that will tell powerfully on the future,
perhaps for many generations. The full val
ne of this happy result cannot be estimated
without picturing to ourselves for q moment
/ the probable consequence Of disastrous one.
1t is unnecessary for Us to point them out,
for the slightest reflection on the part Of the
reader viii paint upon his mental retina the
whole black catalogue. Let him simply ask
the question. bow be himself would have felt.
in the event of result SO disastrous, so NOR
tifying to bis feelings. SO CALLING to bis pride,
as son and citizen Of that State which was,
and, Dec uolente, is soon again to be the fair
est and the noblest queen of all the sovereign
sisters.
Now that we have had full time to coDgrat-
ulate ourselves upon the fortunate issue Of so
momentous an enterprise, it is eminently
proper that we should ask the question: ITO
whom, among mortal instruments, are we
chiefly indebted for this full fruition of our
brightest hopes?" Many have contributed
thereto, and they all deserve our gratitude.
But three is one individual whom all acknow-
ledge to have been the aoorking man, par
excellence, Of the enterprise, the man without
whose efforts, in all probability, complete sue
cess could not have been attained. From
this opinion we have not noticed one dissent
ing voice. And now, fellow citizens, shall
the proud, the rich, the powerful State Of
Virginia, do nothing to show her gratitude to
one whom all acknowledge to have SO eminent
ly deserved it. II were rank treason to an
swer in the negative
Having now flushed our somewhat prolix
preamble, we come to our motion, which is as
follows
We move that the farmers and planters,
and the whole people Of Virginia, do speedily
take the proper steps for providing and pre-
senting to General WILLIAM II. RICHARDSON,
late General Agent Of the State Agricultural
Society, some sohdly and Substantially ual-
liable token of their gratitude for his inval-
liable services in that capacity. This is our
motion--who seconds it
In conclusion, We respectfully but earnest
ly solicit our editorial brethren throughout
the State to give their attention to this mat
ter, regardless of the humble source from
which it emanates. We have been waiting
in the hope Of similar suggestion being made
in some more influential quarter, and only
speak out now because we fear that any fur
Their delay would be ruinous.

The citizens of Martinsburg and county of
Berkeley, who may feel an intcrcs. in estab-
fishing public Cemetery in the vicinity Of

Court House on Saturday, the 3rd day of
December next. at 2 clock, to take into con-

will attend on the above occasion, as the ne

Tor the dead is too obvious to require any dis

this regard and the only question that can
arise will be in the matter Of its location, and
the best mode of forming an efficient organi-
cation for the design 10 view.

Graham's Msga2ine.-It is an evidence of
tact and ability when a man notes the progress
of the times in taste and sentiment, and leav-
ing the beaten track he had been following in
his business ere he is forced to do so, leaps at
once into popular favor and to fortune, by a
change which his genius ~foresees and adopts.
This remark is made in consequence Of the i'm
proved feature presented in the March number
of Graham's Magazine. 1t is now in size equal
to the British Reviews, and something like old
Blackwood in appearance; its reading matter
is of a far higher order than formerly, and its
embellishments in far better taste; and all this
without any difference in price. Success to it,
we say.
