Wing Meeting in Fauquier.

Correspondence Of tie Ilerdndrid Gazette
WARRENToy, Va, Feb. 2S.-A Wing meet
ing was held in the Court House in this place,
to-day. Truly was it splendid reunion of
the gallant Wing and American party ofthe
county of Fauquier. 1t reminded us of the
days of "A, when Harry Clay led the Wing
column. The Court having adjourned early
in the evening, large crowd assembled in
the basement of the Court House, in antici-
patton of the meeting. As soon as practical
BILE, however, James V Brooke, esq, called
the meeting to order, and nominated that
tried and true wing, John VI. Forbes, as
Chairman, at the same time moving that Iur-
ner Ashby, ESQ.,, and DR.. Thos IL. Fisher he
appointed Secretaries. This being carried,
Col. John Z. Scruggs, the talented and ac-
complished editor of the Warrenton Wing,
offered to the consideration Of the meeting a
set of resolutions, which were unanimous
" adopted. Mr.. L. II. Foster made mo-
ton that the upper end select its own can
didate for the House of Delegates, on the 4th
Saturday in March, at Salem, which was car
ried with great unanimity. While his mo-
ton was before the meeting, Col Scruggs
addressed the people in tones of stirring elo-
quence, which drew forth repeated rounds OF
applause. v
At the call of the Convention, James v.
Rronke ESQ. was made to take the stand
and spoke elooucntly for some minutes
Calls were then made for B. III. Shackelford,
ESQ.,, our able and gallant elector in 1856,
who happily responded After Mr. Shack
elford had concluded, loud calls were made
for the Chairman, John Murray Forbes esq,
who addressed the assembly for nearly an
hour, in a speech replete with argument, and
stubborn facts, in relation TO the course of
MIR. Letcher and the Democratic party in
past times. Mr.. +. was most attentively
listened to by large crowd, who patiently
heard the eloquent gentleman until nearly
night. Altogether it was splendid meet
ing, and betokens a gallant fight on the part
of the opposition in the County of Fauquler.
As Wing living in another county. 1t did
our very soul good to see such spirit mani
tested. Our friends in Fauquier, are deter
mined to make good fight, and most sin
cerely believe that they will trlumphantly
elect their county ticket. trust that the
Wings Of Old Culpeper, will do the same
The nominations for members of the House
of Delegates, were postponed until next
Court.
Seventy-fve delegates were appointed to
attend the Convention which meets i'll Alex
andria on the sd inst, to nominate candl-
date for Congress.
The Wings of Fauquier, have commenced
the campaign in real earnest, and with
such Orators as Scott. Brooke Shackel-
ford, Scruggs and many others, they ought
to succeed. | expect that they will have
grand time at March Court, and as the
Democracy will also hold their Convention
at that time, shall leave Culpeper and make
another visit TO Warrenton.

some of the scholars entered. The School
was opened on the Odd of August, with only
IL scholars.
Twenty entered just two days before the
close of the month. The small average OF
December, is ON account of the week'srecess
