The Rising Generation

The great growth of this country in all
the elements of power, has astenished the
world, but in no department of progress DO
we exhibit such prodigious advance as in
the rapid development OF our boys into men.
In former times there were such creatures as
boys and girls, sweet, ingenious, child like
beings, and we are told that there are such
even now in England, and other countries of
the old world. ltwere worth voyage to Eng
land to see them. There are no doubt many
objects of antiquity in that country, which
would interest a stranger, but TO US its ,juye-
nifty would be much more attractive. We
can imagine how the grand old cathedrals,
and the palaces of modern dates appear, for
the engravings must 81 We one tolerably fair
idea of them; but we can't imagine how the
boys and girls look. We do not remember
to have seen half a dozen boys or girls since
our young days. Little ladies, dressed to
death and looking like little women, afraid
to talk and laugh over their breath, and who
would consider it ungenteel to indulge i'll a
hearty game Of romps, but who could never
theless carry on hirtutions with incipient
young men, these we have scotland little
men, with knowing looks and a manly swag-
gel, these we have also seen at every street
corner, but they had nothing about them OF
boys and girls, save the tender years aild
understanding. There seems to be no inter
mediate state in this country between child
hood and manhood. We met few days ago
a Young gentleman of about nine Years of
age, smoking cigar with the air OF a yetc
ran patron of the weed. We certainly love
children, and the man must have callous
heart who does not, but towards that particu-
lar Juvenile, we confess that we entertained
the most ferocious disposition. We could not
but wish that his father, if such lad cOnde-
scends to acknowledge father, would mako
him smoke with different kind OF weed
such an one as Solomon recommends to keep
children from spelling. This is but one i'll.
stance of precocity. AT nine years our yonng.
sters have the feelings and habits which
their fathers had at nineteeni they begin I'd
sow their wild oats. A few years more, and
when they ought to be still in roundabouts
they put on the hsbiliments of manhood
wear stiff shirt collars, carry formidable
canes, become knowing in the price of corn
and potatoes, and talk fiercely about then
honor. AT nineteen, they are Young Anne,
rica; they manage the affairs of the nation
they are the pillars of the State and the hope
OF the world.
II is a mystery with many PHILOSOPHERS
what becomes of all the pins. still more
inscrutable problem to US, is what becomes q
all the old men and women. No ruling pow
er is recognized in the world OF fashion or g
politics, but Young Ameriea-Pcopie, past
forty. are Old Fogies, and banished with one
consent from the arena OF active lie. oio
age, which was once considered reveread

James River and Kanawha Company
ELECTION OF PRESIDENT.

We announced in yesterdays Dispatct the
election of Col. THos. H. ELLIS to the Pre-
sidencysof the James River and kanawha
Company. We feel that we may safely con
gratulate the company and the community
upon the selection which has been made
Col Ellis is native of our city is yet a
young man, possessing fine talents, and the
most irrepr0achable character. He has
ever manifested most active and enligilten-
ed interest in the public improvements of
Virginia, and will bring to his new post a
thorough acquaintance with the history con-
dition and wants of the State in connection
with public improvements. He has been
one of the most intelligent and efficient d-
rectOrs of the James River Company, and
his practical knowledge, business habits and
sound Judgment, viii give him signal ad-
vantages in the discharge of his new duties
Col Ellis has a field of action before him
worthy the ambition Of any man in the State
of Virginia. A heavy responsibility rests
upon the President of the James River and
kanawha Company We look upon it as by
far the greatest public work of the State, be
set, it is true, by perplexing difficulties and
beleaguered by active foes, but capable. if
its affairs are conducted with energy and dis,
cretion, Of triumphantly overcoming all OPP
position and contributing more to the pros
perity of Virginia than all the railroads with
in her borders. These last must divide their
benefits between us and the Northern cities,
but the CANAL is all oar Orn; and, if extend
ed to the Ohio, will make Virginia the first
of Southern States. The President of the j.
Il. 6 X. Co, whose abilities and zeal bring
about that grand result, will be enrolled In
the annals of this Commonwealth amongst
her most illustrious bencfactOrs. May we
not hope that Col THOMAS II. ELLIS will win
for himself this enviable distinction? 1t can
be accomplished by talent, energy, and the
entire devotion of the time and efforts of the
President to the interests of the work. Such
I; work requires the whole time, the whole
mind and the whole soul of its officers and
we predict that Col. Ellis will give all these
to the duties of his new station.
