STAUNTON.

We have heretofore published accounts
from the Staunton papers, of the rapid i'm
provement of that town. Fifty houses, in
course of erection, the indicator tells US
There is no place in the country, within our
knowledge, which has grown with such ra-
pid, and at the same time healthy and sub
stantial growth, as the town of Staunton.-
We remember it, when we saw it for the first
time, between fifteen and sixteen years ago.
and certainly it looked to us then as if it had
done growing, and as if there was no more
vitality. in it than in an Egyptian mummy. 1t
had indeed Almost ancient and venerable as.

gent, refined, and whole souled people, seem.

change, little short of miraculous, has come

since our first visit to it. 1t will soon be the
principal town of Western Virginia. Not q
sign of Old Fogyism remains about it. Mos,
heartily do we rejoice in its present prospect

spot OF all Virginia we love and honor more

roREIGN INTERFERENCE.

The London Chronicle, In an article on Ne.
braska and Cuba, is doing its best to ian the
flame of disaffection between the North and
South, and chuckles over the idea that the
proba BILE annexation of Cuba will bring about
dissolution ofthe Union. That is the grand
end and aim of the whole British abolition
movement. The whole moral weight of Bri
fish public opinion, through the press, the
pulpit, and in every other unofficial way, has
been thrown on the side of American aboli-
ton, for the sole and exclusive purpose of
bringing about a dissolution ofthe American
Union, and thus of gratifying at once the
commercial interests and the deep rooted and
undying revenge Of Great Britain against
this country. That proud empire never has
forgiven the successful struggle of American
independence, and she never win forgive it.
All the after dinner speeches all the soft Bull
wer barney; all the honied things that have
been said of us since the Russian war CON-
menced cannot conceal from an observant eye
the innate and ineradicable dislike and dread
of America which the Briton sucks in with
his mothers milk When France forgets
Waterloo, Great Britain will forget Bunker
Hill and Yorktown. But for her abolition
efforts, the abolition NOV in this coun-
try would have been too Insignificant to have
caused the slightest alarm. She has used
abolition as the wedge to split asunder the
Union, and her press eNults in the thought
that her schemes are about to be crowned
with success, and that her arts will accom-
plish what her arms failed to achieve. Per
haps so but the probability is quite as great
that, before that event occurs, she will be
shorn of her own power and not be in con
dition to derive any very great benefit from
the results of her Vaccinations.

THE NEW QUADRUPLE ALLIANCE.

AnL NEW QOaDhCI LIZ hLL1AA'SA'
The London Times, in its comments on the
protocol, signed on the 23d of May, at Vien-
ma, by the representatives of the Four Pow
ers, in which Austria and Prussia apparently
give adhesion to the policy of England and
France, virtually comedies that the terms
of the protocol do not include the whole
objects of the Anglo-French Convention,
but is restricted to two objects only, viz ::
the maintenance of the integrity of the
Turkish Empire, and the evacuation OF the
Principalites. England and France, howev-
er, in addition to these objects, contemplate
more general measures for the prevention of
future Russian aggressions. When, there
fore, the two objects proposed by the last
protocol are attained, the position of the
Western Powers and the German States,
would become dissimilar. The protocol is, at
best, a vague affair, as is also the joint mo-
ton of Prussia and Austria to the German
Diet Lord John Russell has declared that
the protocol contained no sanction Of that ar
ticle of the Treaty betsceen austria and Prus-
STA, by which they reciproeatly guarantee TO
each other the possession Of their German
and non German Territories.

FOURTH OF July CELEBRATIONS

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION.-We
trust is only necessary to remind readers that
meeting will be held in the base ment room of Me-
tropolitan Hail. to night at O'Clock, to arrange for
celebrating the approaching Anniversary of Inde-
pendence to ensure large audience. The object of
this meeting is to take the sense of the people upon
the propriety of giving the Volunteers of the city
suitable entertainment; and as for years past they
have had to bear all the expenses of annual cele
brations, surely there is not in Richmond who
will refuse to contribute something towards the OBJ
ject.
The main business efore the meeting to-ng will
be to appoint committees for collection in each OF
the Wards, and a general Committee of Arrange
ments. This will require but short time and it is
hoped that gentleman will permit his to be
placed one of the committees who does not intend
to perform the duties assigned him.
Richmond owes great deal to her Volunteer Com
panes for their zealand military spirit and she can
pay the debt in suitable way than by gettng
up suitable entertainment the 4th of July, and
inviting them to partake oft in body.
Let dinner be served in the Western Square,
where the Declaration of Independence may be read
and sentiments be given worthy of the occasion.
Bear in mind the meeting tonight, and be present
by O'Clock.
