PAULUS POWELL FOR NEXT GOVERNOR
nE N-IDntNI<

see, Measrs. Editors, that you invite a friendly
discussion, through your columns, OF the CLAIMS ana
qualifications of gentlemen for the office of Governor
of Virginia in 1859; and, awaiting myself OF tns lnvi
tation, allow me to suggest the name OF rAuLus
POWELL Of Amherst, as enc admirably fitted, IN AL
essential particulars, for the important station. MIR
Powell has been all the tiine a Democrat, faithful,
fearless and true-having never been even charged
with inconsistency in his political course In a moral
point, he is without blemish. He is no stunp.speak
er, il is true: but he has more sense, allow me to say,
in all candor and sincerity, than any popular declainl'
er with whom ] am acquainted. He is a man OF I'M
surpassed sagaclty among the public men OF our
State. He IL never mistaken in his estimate OF ib.il.
and ia for that reason never taken IN by designing
demagogues. His viaws Of measures are founded in
wisdom aud patriotism, and he has the courage 10
carry them out, without any calculation OF personal
interest.
Mr.. Powell has fought eleven political battles at
home and has never yet sustained e defeat, although
the greater portion of the time he has ran with the
chances of numerical strength apparently against
him. In the bodies OF which hi has been a member,
Congress and the Virginia Legislature. hs has com
manded as much respect as any OF hs colleagues.
II he has not made speeohec elbow me 70 ask who
among hs colleagues is more frequently consulted on
the question:. that arisel Whose Judgment is more
conided 10? Whose bearing is more frank and manly!
Who that knows him doubts his fitness for the Execu
tive Chair Of Virginia! He is Il working man in the
comm,tiees-a man OF busiIess-of real sdrnlnlstra
tive ability.
speak thus OF Paulus Powell from a Legislature
acquaintance of several years, commencing III The
House of Delegates Of Virginia. | will say, IN conclu'
siop, that | have not seen Mr. Powell for some timei
have never indicated To him the view vi above expressed
and doubt seriously whether he will thank me- for
bringing him out from the privacy which he seems TO
court-for bis merits are equa!lpd only by hs modeaty.

FIRST BLOOD SHED FOR LIBERTY IN THE
REVOLUTIONARY WAR.
10 the Charleston Mercury

Communicated 10 the Charleston Mercury.l
The fret blood shed in defence OF liberty and in OPP
posing English oppression was in the South. The
btsts OF North Carolina-the a. old North State " and
twin sister of South Cardinals entitled to the honor.
II was during the gubernatorial administration OF the
notorious Governor Tryon, the English governor at
the time, who built one of the most splendid palaces
n either North or South America, at Newbern, N. C.,
With the proceeds Of tares imposed upon the people
6r the purpose, and to resist which taxation a por.
Hon of them rebelled, just as did the men OF Msssa
chusetts afterwards. 1t took place in the year II1l.
and is narrated by Mr.. Wheeler in bis History Of
North Carolina. On the 10th of May, in that year,
Q battle was fought between the American and British
forces, on the tanks OF the Alsmance river, in what
b known now az the county OF that name, called the
Battle Of Alamsnoe. The American forces were cal.
led the " Regulators" from their efforts in enseavor.
Ing to bring about an equitable regulation OF taxes
amounted to 1000, and were headed by 8 men named
Husbands, Hunter and Butler, while the British forces,
including militia called out by Tryon, amounted to
upwards Of eleven hundred. but had the advantage
greatly in arms and discipline. As might have been
expected, the Americans were defeated, after IN &C
ton Of two hours, with a loss Of 70 dead and several
wounded, while that Of the royal forces, in killed,
wounded and missing, was 81. MIR. Wheeler says:
"Thus ended the battle of Alamance. Thus and
here was the first blood spilled in these United States,
In resistance to exactions OF English rulers and op.
~prsssions by the Eoglish Government. The great
Wolf of South Carolina showed his blood thirsty tenn.
pSe BY acts of revenge, cruelty and barbarity. II.

Il was in this case, as Byron truly says in one of
Ab poems:
"For Freedom's battle ONCE BEGUN,
Begueathed from bleeding sire to son,
Though sometimes lost, is ever won"
Thus we see that it was at the battle of Alamsnce,
va shed in the cause Of liberty. Honor to whom
