MIR. HOPES ODE.

1t has been already announced that Mr.. James
Barron Hope, having been requested by number of
members OF the Legislature and citizens Of Richmond
to repes hs Ode prepared for the celebration on the
22d, he has fixed on this tMonday) evening as the
tins. and Metropolitan Hall as the place.
Mr. Hope is rising rapidly in reputation as truly
gifted poet. His late publication, Leon Di Mo.
uots, and other poems" which go sdmiringly re-
ceived by the public and SO highly conplimened by
the press of this country, has been recently re-pub.
lished in London. A few days ago, We heard the
opinion expressed by an eminent literary gentleman,
that "if hs will take pains, he will be one CT the
first poets Of the world" Such testimonials ss these
bespeak merit and promise in our Virginia bard
which, if properly encouraged, will reflect honor upon
the State and upon the South.
MIR. Hope has been invited TO repeat his Ode in
Norfolk, Petersburg and Lynohburg and if he meets
with success here and in those places, he will proba
bly, repeat it also in fredericksburg, Charlottesville
Staunton and Lexington. The Ode is truly splen
did production, and We anticipate for Mr.. Hope full
house wherever he may pronounceit. Let Richmond
ead off tonight in encouraging the genius Of one o.
Vrginias Sons. Tickets may be procured at the
principal book stores, and at the American aud EI
change Hotels.

host Of other gallant spirts of the Revolution, whose
heroic deeds and wise counsels will be read and ad.
mred by the latest generation. These great men
have passed away, and it is peculiarly appropriate

morize to posterty in the triumph Of the scuptors
art, the name of her most distinguished son, who was
the worlds most renowned benefactor The name Of
Washington will ever live on the most bonored page
of history. II needs statue to perpeuste it. Vr.

son. But her splendid offering to his great uame adds
additional brightness TO her own fair fame.
