He, perhaps has wrought himself up 10 bis
present jealous resolution in pretty much the
fanse say that the Immortal Don Qairots ~ss
excited 70 the attack upon tic siBd mill, If
Bir Martin viii please be 50 clever As to recall
that Incident in the brilliant career Or the Knight
Of La Msnelia. We are really sorry that i;r
Martin did not elaborate MS idea. The meagre
sketch furnished the next do5T organ, we are
sure, has done him great injustice Cosld Mr-
Martin have impressed US with what he intended
geta exactly IN What he sid or, indeed given
Us a reasonable assurance that hc aas a. any

sent down to Fork Ridge regular reporter, who
would have furnished Us, his constituents, and
the world With his idess IN ezteaso. A. to how
mech has been lost by this oversight, Sir Mar

Nr. Martin, must Judge, fs- sge cant We pre-
sumo. bo1eyer and Ar. Martin can correct orr
explanation If he sees proper. tilat he intended
70 be understood as saying that it altogether
necessary, Inst il vas altogether matter Of
vital importance that some movement should be
inadgarsted for the suppression Of heresy in
this "neck' OF the BODY polite Of Virginia.

Pork Ridge, vino, from Hose clzssically situated
uplaud,, shall put forth MS hand ard seize, drag
out, choke and destroy the EerPentine influences
which have crept within such alarming proximi-
t. to that yet orthodox region. 4 question
aries with US just here, as it has done some
times in witnessing dramatic representation;
viz: is not the brain Of the protector OF so great
m enterprise adequate 'oniy to be It's demon
st-atore Perhaps 5Ir. Martins native modesty
may alone have deferred him from eonfessins
this same conjecture Of ours. We are 10th 10
think that so small barrier should, even
Inentarily, impede SO great an enterprise. We
hope Mr. Martin viii viii not stand upon Ell
quctte, or, ms Shakespeare would have said, upon
m order IRON the Fork Riisers) To go forth,
but go now. at once, upon our nonieation. Let
him buy or borrow steed down there-let him
call 1t Rosinante-et him surmount it with a
pack saddie-let him then get lance Of some
twenty feet or more, and then, mount himself.
Instead of black coat Of mail, suggest as
tbs prompting of provincial PRIDE that Red
Wamus be the only envelope The Scottish
highianders will wear nausht but their plaid in
batile-so neither ought the highlauders Of
Fork Ridge anything bat Red wamus. Let
lin then draw near the doomed city of
Wheeling. On The outskirts tpefhaps we may
be wrong in laying down a plan Of attack,
let him first observe the Rolling Mills. rs Don
did the wind mill These mills are ugly, he.
Tetical nests. 1t is whispered that they are
altogether unsound on the goose" down there
The great fly and balance wheels present rare
aud salient points Of attack When these out
er works that we have suggested, have all been
taken and driven in by the knight of Fork
Ridge. then let him come 10 Us and consult
upon,tIie next step. Already the wild aiaruu,"
is in our ears weawait the onset.
