Where's the recurring anniversary of Americas
Independence Is at hand, and we have been admon-

events which gave IL birth, fresh in our memories

that at no period Of national history have the
principles Of equal rights and eternal justice out Of
which 1t sprung been more imminently endangered

IL q duty of every patriot to give at this crisis
at least day to his country; and after communing
Tor q brief season with the memories and spirits OF

OLD FOGIES.

The evidence before the court of inquiry
to enquire into the conduct of Col. Gates, on
board the steamship San Francisco shows the
necessity of retired list from the army
The unofficerlike, selfish and inhuman con
duct of Col. Gates, can only be accounted for
on the ground that he is superannuated. That
the Court failed TO expel him at once and ig-
ANONYMOUSLY from the army, is owing, un-
doubleday to his former long and faithful
services. There ought to be retired list,
with adequate pay, on which old, infrm or
imbecile officers could retire, and leave the
honor and efficiency of the service in young
and vigorous hands. .-

RATTLE OF RUNNER HILL.

BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL.
This day il the anniversary ofthe battle OF
Bunker Hill. the facts Of the battle are ia
miliar to every school boy, but their repei,
ton at time when the cloud OF war wnicn
has risen in the East, threatens to overshado"
our own horizon, may not be without its uses.
The Americans who defended Bunker Hill
were plain farmers, just from their fields, who,
without magazines, camp equipage, or engi
neeriny apparatus, had thrown up rude en-.
trenchments:on Bunker's, or more properly
breeds Hill They were but 1900 in num-
her; they had no fieId.pieces, no cavalry, and
but little ammunition; no organization. and
no commander in chief. Under these circum
stances, in this undisciplined, unprepared and
ill.aranged condition, each company acting
on its own hook, these American farmers re-
sisted the assault of twice their number OF
veteran troops, thoroughly armed at every
point, amply supplied with artillery and CO.
vered ia their approach by the fire of the
ships of.war and the Boston battery. The
first fire of these raw provincials proved SO
destructive, that the sturdy British columns
broke in pieces and retreated like frighten-
ed deer to their boa's. Once more rallied
after great exertions by their officers, the
British soldiery were again led to the charge,
only to be moved down again by the deadly
volleys. and to retreat in worse confusion
than before. Reinforcements now arrived
from Boston, and the assailants, pricked on
by the swords of their officers, once more
advanced. The ammunition of the Americans
now began to fail, but with the most obstinate
courage they defended themselves with the
butt ends of their muskets, and were only
overpowered at last by vastly superior num-
bers. The victory was a dear one to the Bri-
fish, who lost more than ne-third of their
men in killed or wounded, while the irnness,
courage and good conduct of the provincials,
exalted their own confidence, and convinced
the British troops of the mistake they had
made in calculating upon Yankee cowardice.
1t will be well for those allied powers Of Eu-
rope, who may have hostile views upon this
country. after they have disposed ofthe Gear
of Russia, to consider whether a country,
which displayed such spirit in its infancy, has
not now the courage, as well as the capacity,
to resist world in arms.

iightful day with their brother Volunteers 10 Fred,

ceived and Hospitality entertained The young
Guard under the command of the gallant Capt
Richardson, are universally popular wherever
known, and possess abundance of that character
of enterprise essential to the prosperity and
growth Of volunteer corps. Each member seems
TO pride himself on the strength of his Company,
and the perfectness Of its drl and when the order
for parade is given, nothing prevents general
turnout save impossbilities. In the drill room
the line of march, the command of the Captain is
irrevocable; and the corps know too well the i'm
portance of discipline, to murmur or complain at
his orders. To this spirit may be attributed the
great success of the company, and while prevails,
the Young Guard must continue TO be the ''pets OF
the regiment and pride of the city.
We are gratifed to learn that the "foung Guard y
are delighted with their visit and that they speak
in the highest terms OF the cordial greeting with
which they were received in the good old town oi

~ During a tripon the Danville Railroad
few days since, we were much gratifed in
observing the department of the officers and
employees of the line. Close attention to
duty-rigid observance of the rules and re-
gulations of the company, characterized their
conduct. At the same time those who were
brought into contact with passengers and
persons having business with the road, were
treated with consideration and politeness.
We were especially indebted to Capt. GEO.
E. TAYLOR. the conductor of the train, for
his kind attention. The veteran SIMS, hav-
ing been temporarily called away, our young
friend T. took charge of his post and such
was the blandness of his manner and his
vigilant attention to all matters under his
charge, that the veteran may well be little
jealous of him. We have no doubt he would
reply that all this but showed the master
spirit by whom he was edcuated

less. Instead Of taxation. he contended that
the railroad absolutely more than posd Afs
tares in the saving Of expense in transport
Ing his produce TO market. In addition to
this, II had enhanced the value of land there
one Anad,ed per cent, and greatly Increased
production. He stated upon the most unde-
niable data, that there was more wheat
seeded now, than there was reaped in. Char.
iotte Co, five years since. He exhibitedhis
account book, showing for series of years
what it cost him to wagon his tobacco to
Richmond. In 1891, to transport by wagon
fifteen hogsheads of tobacco to Richmond,
cost S2e4.43 by the railroad, the same num-
Der of hhds. would now cost s67 so :--diffe-
renee in favor of railroad, S156.93. In 1s43,
the transportation of eight hhds. cost sos -
By railroad they would now cost s36--a saw
ing of S69.' There is, besides, the saving
of time, and time is money. The gentleman
alluded to, was, in his earlier days, a very
active man, and did not move slowly in any
of his undertakings, yet it took month to
get his crop to market after it was ready,
aud the transportation had begun. Now,
two or three days will put the money for his
crop in his pocket. Add to these facts, that
other important consideration, that the rail
road opens market for many products,
which, without it, the farmer could find no
sale for: This enables him to increase the
amount and the variety of his crops-to
adopt more complete system of shifting
crops from field to field, and thus to relieve
and strengthen his 1and-and to make
more profitable division of the labor of his
hands. But it is needless to extend the cata-
logue of benefits any farmer with half an
eye can see them better than we can tell him,
and we repeat that the farmer with the IA
cility Of the railroad as compared with his
former condition, pays no tag at all
How the people of any of the counties in
terested in this great work can complain of
taxation-nay, how they could for mo-
ment hesitate about assisting the road with
county or individual subscriptions we cannot
understand. We believe, however, that such
practical results, as those we have given
above, will soon put all things to rights and
dissipate the remains of old-fogy ism which
still linger in some localities of the great
Roanoke Valley. These facts are but sam
Piles of the general effects of the great lines
of Internal Improvements, which, when
completed, must lift up. old Virginia and
place her in her proper position among the
States. .- ..,.
