Grecntrier to merge the name Of Greenbrier and

NUMBER ONE.

It may not be unintc7estirg to your readers to
relate some incidents with respect to Grecnbricr
and Monroe counties.
It will be rccolected that the organization of
The ,countv IF Monroe took place in May 1870
the act Of Assembly for the division Of Green
l,rier having PASSED at the session Of l7QS-'99.
It may lie rcnlcmhcrcd too. that party spirit WAS,
about that tr,c. vorr Ti"lcnt in Virginia. Col.
JoHS TAYLOR. of Caroline. was q very prominent
member Of the House Of Delegates Of Virginia,
and considered to lie at that time the leader Of
the Republican party in that House, and, per-
hqps. in the Legislature. Tho Federal and Re
,,ui.I:car parties were strongly arfayel against
each other. The latter. lr'',nhv had is origin
in p..liti.al rraosiron t. The administration Of
the elder ADAMS. who endeavrrod to conform its
principles manly to those established by GzosG2
W4<nrSGroS. his 'i!lustriouS predecessor" !tu-

Col. T. had been in the Revolutionary army.
Just before he resigned his commission. he re-
ceiycd a tiW r''""0Hion from the commander
in.chcf f,r which he never afterwards fargavo
him. An abusive pamphlet was issued som"
short time after this event, which contained the
only calumny. perhaps. which was ever published
against the ilustrions WASHINGTON. Be all this
as il may have been, Col. TAYLoR's party zeal
le,l him to declare against the formation Of any
other counties in Virginia west of the Blue ridge
because he supposed the people Of that noun
tainouS region. known as ' West Augusta had
prccliyity to Federalism
Gen. Jouy rREsToS. of Montgomery county,
was then Senator from the district embracing
the county Of Grecnhricr Col. JoHS STUART, o
very wealthy and influential citizen, was clerk Of
Grecuhricr county. and was in politics 3 Eedcr-

brier. which is nov Monroe. was also Federal
ist. In consequence, perhaps, Of his having been
one Of the delegates from Grcenbrier in the Leg
islaturn at its session Of l79G-I and having ad-
Yocated the petition for the division Of Green
brier, some Of his ncighbors designated him to
be the bearer of petition :: for the division Of
Grcenbricr county, to the Legislature. Accord
ing to such request, he attended the session Of

DISH and .Ious MATHEWS, Esqrs, we're the dele
gates from Grccnbrier both FedcralistS, and op-
posed to division Of the county. Gen. PRESTON
was an influential member Of the Senate, and
was in favor Of the petition. The petition vas
presented aud referred to the committee Of pro-
positions and grievances. The name of Monroe
was given to the proposed new county, and IA
7orablo report Of the petition was made to the
House. The name of Monroe was distastcful to
the Federal members; some Of whom insisted

bounds of the proposed county wanted the county :
that the name given to it was not the name he de-
sired; that he intended to have suggested the
name of Wayne. He, however, refused to make
an effort to have the name changed.
On the morning of the day on which the bill
was to be called up in the House, Mr.. EUTcHI-
