Their advance in the price Of gaano by the
agents Of the Peruvian Government, who have
monopoly OF the article in this country which
is felt as great grievance by the agricrltu-

their own interest he thinks they have the
remedy 10 their own hands and should lose
no time in using it. These agents are GER

combine to break down the monopoly. by
the only practicable mode, refusing to Guy at
the advanced rates. With that view be pro-

moved from the Valley to Western Virginia
when young, and at once entered upon A
successful professional career. He was dis
inclined toward political life, and frequently
declined nominations but at length he was
prevailed upon to take seat in the Conven-
ton which gave bis State its present some

lost, to some degree, his disrelish for public

consented to run for the present Congress,
OF which ne was a member He was d sun
porter of the party now in power the first
o. his family that ever acted with that party.

been expected f4om then and their calm
and resolutc bearing did much to encourage
the officers Of tho law. and to oyarawe the
turbulent spirit Of the abolition leaders. But
the citizen soldiers, the volunteers Of Boston,
men unused 20 the rigid discipline Of the bar
rack and the severe regulations Of the service
- commanded general admiration With an
alacrity and q unanimity which showed bow
sincerely they realized the responsibility de-
volving upon all good citizens when the laws
of the land ore threatened by remorseless
mobs. they responded at once to the call Of
the authorities, and manfully persevered in
their support Of the marshal, and such Of the
local authorities as did not symyathize with
