Learning and Military Academy. Adop-
ted at their late meeting:
The Board of Supervisors having had
the subject of the Cadets Commons, all the
various complaints, and all the testimony
relating thereto, under consideration; and
having made personal examination of the
fare themselves, have come to the conclu-
sion that many of the complaints are whin-
steal snd capricious; that the fare is gen
erall Y rs abundant and Of as good quality
as can be furnished here for the price paid;
and more 50 from the best evidence that
the Board is able get than at most of SINH
lar Institutions.
The Board is well aware that no Cooke
ry can dimdys Ike kept up TO the same
point; if it is generally good, an 0ccjdcRta
occasioHal defect should not be complained
of, it is only habitual defects in fare and
Cookery, that should form sufficient gromc
for complaint. Therefore,
ResOiced, That the Board does not fee
itself justified in either consuming tn,

the Institution, together with the prov IS
ions of the contract with the Steward, of

Virginia OH Secession.

At Il meeting lately held in RockbridGc
Co, Va. the following resolutions were al
most unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the allegation that Nir
ginia "is so htchcd TO the Southern States
that they can drag her into a common dcS-
tiny with them" is foul caumny and
dispersion on this noble old Commonwealth
and gross insult to her people.
Resolved, That we verify believe that
ninc-tcnths OF the people of this State will
be opposed to resisting the General Gov
crnmcnt 50 long as it may he administered
in conformity to the Constitution and the
common benefit of all the States.
Resolved, That Virginia owes no "duty
to the South" or any other quarter "C the
world, except to discharge those constitu-
tional obligations resting on her as mem
Der of the Union and such as every civil
lied community owes to every other, and
that she has the ability and resolution to
maintain her rights from whatever quarter
they may be assailed.
Again the Norfolk; (Na.) Herald de-
scribcs meeting Mt Portsmouth, for tn,
purpose of hearing EX-Gov. Wise in de
fence of his princes Anne resolutions
The scene was one of the widest confu
sion. Mr.. Doughtrey attempted TO reply t,
Mr.. Wise, but was not permitted. TIL,
Herald closes by saying "Mr. Doughtrey
it, - al 20 r,,,nl-
wa Mr.. Wise enabled to make the people
of Portsmouth swallow his rcvolutionar,
resolutions, and the meeting adjourned
amidst the widest tumult."
We are under obligations to our fricn
Carter Beamon clerk Of the superior steam
CT VIM W. Levy for late New Orleans pa
pcrs.
The Levy is Very superior boat, hui
during the last season expressly for tn
Red River trade. and is commanded by a
clever a fellow as ever lived, Capt. Ma
Puckette, with Carter Beamon as her clcrl
by the way the boat is named after
contemporary of ours who resides in on
sister parish of Ma tchitochcs.
We do not meau to say that our cotem
porary drinks, but that barrel between he
chimncys of the boat. means something.
