Walkers Rifle Battery,

The Frederick sburg Necs quotes from a
Northern report Of the Aqua Greek battle,
which pays a strong tribute to Walkers Rife
Battery. The writer says:
There was no lodging the shots from this
battery, for in avoiding enc, IL you could see

on the hill moved lower down and sent Il ball

been, TO this moment, recording every shot
from ourselves and the enemy. The balls or

and the stern, and over our deck, as thick as
hail.
Lone ball went so close TO my port ear that
/ felt what l had often heard and read OF be-
fore-the wind of the ball. The enemy, in
fact, fired with admirable precision. One
ball struck long boat, another tore of part

wrist of FIckeTs, struck the gun carriage, and
fell on the deck" He really thought il had

Give US 9Th. Old Constitution.

The Redmond Whjq advocates the restora-
ton of George MAsoS's old Constitution, as
ncarly as possible. 1t says, and we think
truly, that universal suffrage and universal
elections, though in operation only ten years
have beer in operation long enough to excite
the disgust Of every intelligent citizen OF the
Commonwealth. faey have been sufficiently
tested they have been found TO be nuISances,
and should be abated with EXTREMIST speed
The election IF judges, magistrates, sheriis.
&c. Is Yankee importation and vicious IN
Eovalion III cur ancient Constitution. W"
hear but one voice throughout the land in re
probation of the system. Its fruit is unmixed
evil. 1t has debauchcd the people, gwen
worse public officers, and endangered the revc-
nue. of tho State.
That noble and upright State, South Caro-
lima, has always resisted these radical charge,
which Virg.-ia 30 unfortunately adopted, ana
exhibit. the finest model Of q Government,
equally removed from monarchjcal and mob
rule. that exists on thi. continent If We
would preserve constitutional liberty, let Us
put an end to deniagoguoS, and do this by de-
stroying the material upon which they feed
There are thousands Of men in Virginia who
would lie distrunchised by the adoption Of the
old Constitution, who are ready to sign peu-
ton for its restoration. They know that,
whilst they are able to discharge their duties
intellgently and patrio,icaiy, there are, and
must be. many more who will not. The time
Is propitious for change. Let us have no
more prostitution of free principles, no more
deifcation Of popular ignorance, but the
Sound, constitutional liberty which was the
product Of the wisdom and patriotism of the
sages AID heroes OF the Revolution, who Sc
ieeied the choicest and ripest fruits % freedom

1.-The Best Speech for the Times

The Fredericksburg Neos publishes letter
which thus characterizes the speech Of Gen.
LEE. who, being vociferously called on for a
speech at Orange Court House, appeared, and

his mind than speech making; advised all
who for good reasons were not, to attend to
their private affairs, and avoid tie excitement
and rumors Of crowds, &c. We coincide fully

The CorHStalk Boys.

We understand that, before the battle OF
Bethel, some Of the enemy inquired Of an
old lady, at whose house they stopped, what
troops composed the Confederate forces in tie
neighborhood. She told them she believed
they were from Nirg; ia and North Carolina.
They affected to be greatly satisfied with this
information, remarking that if they were South
CaroIinians and Louisianians they might have
some trouble, but that they could whip Virgin
ians and North Carolinians with corustalkg."-
If they entertained such an idea, wonder what
they think of the experiment. The 2:lO time
in which they made tracks from old Rips' hay
onets, and outrun the fastest balls from the
Virginia artillery, showed that they were not
immovably ed in their prejudices, and held
themselves open to conviction

His enemies lie scattered" Let no one try to
be more pi0us than the man after Gods own

Egionists Of the North, in trying to soar higher

the lowest abyss of infdelity and crime. Let
