few mechanics They were going to wilderness,
and thsre were only four carpenters to forty eight
gentlemen. Nome Of the men had families, and
there we're no females among the Adventures. In
this respect there was Q marked difference between
this and the first Plymouth colony, more than half
Of which were women and children.
Newport and his squadron, pu suing the original
circutous track to America, did not accomplish their
voyage until four months had expired but they were
fortunate in being driven by storm into Chesapeake
Bay, instead Of landing, as they had intended, at
Roanoke. As they advanced through the waters Of
the Chesapeake they perceived the advantage that
would be gained by settling on the shores Of this
spacious haven, repenished by the tributary foods
of the great rivers which fertlize the coil Of that
extensive district of country, and afording commo
dious facilities for internal and foreign commerce.
Capt. Newport first landed on promontory FORM
ing the southern boundary of the bay, which he
named Cape Henry in honor Of the Prince OF Wales.
Thence, coasting the southern shore he entered
James river, which the natives called Powhatan,
and explored its banks for forty miles from its mouth
Impressed with the superior advantages OF the coast
and region to which they had been happily conduct
ed, the adventures unanimously determined to make
this the place OF their abode. They landed on tne
Gath Of May, 1907 and gave to the infant settlement
as well as the river the name of their king; and
jamestown retains the distinction Of being the oldest
settlement Of the English in America.
The Cavaliers, by whom Virginia was colonized
we're noble race Of men, and they showed in the his
tory Of the colony that they were capable Of great
perseverance and endurance of hardships, as well as
the bravery and industry that were required to es
tabsh the settlement. When the rights of the Pu
ritan colonists of the North were assaied, the de-
scendants Of the Cavaliers joined them in an appeal
to arms and in declaring independence of the mother
country. The cbivalry and noble traits Of character
which distinguish the Virginians of our day do nc
discredit to their origin. Honor, say we, to the
Cavaliers. Let their descendants celebrate the day
of their embarkation for the New World. The thr
tieth day of December will be q good time Of thu
year in the mild climate of Virginia, and Congress
will then be adjourned for the holidays.

The Sentiment of Canada.

We have no doubt that The following,
from the Quebec Morning Chronicle,
states truly the public sentiment of Can
ada:
The Americans want Cuba. and the
same writer has frequently told us they
want Canada. Canada is fas: going to
them. Our lumber goes to New York, our
flour and cattle TO Boston or Portland in
The winter and it must be borne in mind
that a commercial is the most solid Of all

THE RUNAWAY MATCH:

BY FRED. HUNTER.

A GREAT many years since, when bright
eyed and fair-haired lasses were not so
plenty in New England as they are now,
there dwelt in the town of P -. a pretty
village. distant then. some five and twen-
ty miles from ''Market-town." peculiar
ly comely and graceful maiden. who had
a peculiarly ugly and cross grained but
wealthy old father.
Minnie was Dsnforth's only child; and
report said truly tina: she would be his
sole legatee. The old man was sturdy
farmer. and was estimated to be worth
full ten thousand dollars; at that period.
a very handsome fortune, to be sure.
The sparkling eyes and winning man
ners of Minnie Danforth had stirred up
the finer feelings Of the whole male por-
tlon Of the village, and her sutors were
numerous. but her father was particular,
aud none succeeded in making headway
with him or her.
IN the mean time, Minnie had a true
and loyal lover in secret! Who would
supposed for one moment that such a
fellow would dare to look on beauty and
comparative refinement? His name was
Walker, or, as he was generally called,
"Joe'-Joe Walker; and he was simply

had entrusted Joe with the management

ESCAPE OF SLAvEs.-The Detroit Dem

ESCAPE OF SLAvEs.-The Detroit DEM

thousand slares will escape the present

fore the passage of the fugitive slave
law" says the Democrat, 1.-THE escapes
were nearer one per week than one per
day. These fugitives are valuable chat
tells. The feeble and stupid never run
away. They are worth on an average,
$500 each. and it is safe TO say that the
largest share of this loss to southern plan
ters has arisen from the passage Of the
fugitive slave law. We DO not mourn
over this; but we mention it as an evil

LATER The steamer Mississippi left
about o'clock for the wreck of the
schooner, off PIT. Abino. to endeavor TO
secure the man who was ciinging to the
mast. After the steamer had been gone
about an hour. the brig Roscius. from
Detroit, came in. and her Captain informs
US that he passed the wreck. and saw the
man holding on, and apparently able to
keep his position for some hours.
The gale blew so that the Captain was
una bic TO 60 10 the rescue. The Mssis-
sippi returned about half past this eve
ming, and reports that on reaching the
spot, the man was not on the mast, but
Capt. Hazard says he saw the life boat
which had been sent up from here during
the forenoon. pulling in for shore, and is
of the opinion that they had rescued the
man from his perilous situation. Moth
ing will be known until morning, when
those who went up with the boat On the
Canada shore will return.
