Under this caption the Boston Daily Adverti-
ser, Of April ls, 1882, published an extract from
a Richmond paper, which, after lapse Of thir-
ty years, possesses q strange interes. for the
men Of this generation. 1t seems prophetic,
and is now almost literally being fulfilled:
The Richmond Wing publishes a letter from
q correspondent in Goochland county, who re-
lates curious circumstance of negro boy,
who saw two bald headed eagles fighting ferce-
ly at great height in the air, and descend to
the ground, so much engaged in the conflict q
to allow him to attack them, when they rose
second time and renewed the fight, falling again
with their talons interlocked in each others
flesh, when Cufee stepped between them sec
ond time, taking them for wild geese, and wrung
their heads Off The correspondent continues:
''The fact is incontestible, and, If doubted,
can be proved by the evidence Of az least fifty
persons. In these days of moraliziDg, the feat
has been considered omnous of the proud re-
public, of which this noble bird is the emblem.
The tile in the air is the strife destined to take
place between the two great sections Of the
Union. Cuffee represents his own ebony race,
slipping in upon US while engaged in mortal bat
tie combat, and wrnging the necks of both
What think you, gentlemen? and what would
an old Roman have thought? 1t is surprising
now many persons drew the same sugury, who
had no opportunity of communicating with each
other"

The Policy Of Delay.-Conspiracy to Dec.
troy the Republic.
From the Pttahurph GazettA

In the early part of 1851 there was such unity
of sentiment in the loyal States in favor of crush
ing this internal rebellion, and maintaining the
Union and government as has never been wit
messed in any great, free and intelligent nation.
People of all classes and parties abandoned their
professions and rushed to arms in numbers 90
immense that the government could not accept
but part; and when, after 8 lapse of three
months, it called for SOC, 900 more, they stepped
forward with such slacrty that all who offered
their services could not be accepted.
That was the time to have done the work; but
it was not done. Instead of being led to the
work they expected to do, and wished to do, and
were able and ready to do, the men were set to
digging entertainments, to drill, and to have
magnificent and idle parades; then followed long
and dreary winter quarters, where their loss of
spirit and pluck was by no means compensated
by their acquisitions in the art of war ..,r
In the meantime, the rebels--who had no idea
that there would be such = tremendous uprising
in the North-bad time to collect end organise
theiT forces, and to strengthen themselves in
every way, until a rebellion, which 5000 men
could have crushed in single campaign in the
sprng of 1861, has so grown that now, at the
end of a year and a half, it bids defiance to
100000. All this is. the result OF that slow
and tender footed policy persisted in from the
Treachery and treason permeated the entire ar

anu Halleck.
The effect has been to FIJI the land with mourn>
ing for our gallant dead, and with gloom and
dependency at the prospect before US. There
was something joyous and ckhiira.ing in the
early movements of our people in The war, for
we we're all full of hope then. Now We feel sad
when we see our sons and brothers going to the
war, to pine and sicken in camp, o. he slain in
useless indecisive conflicts The horrible suepi-
con Expresses the soul that they are to be con-
mauded by men. who, as Major Keys expressed
it, think it is not desirable eypediert that the
enemy should be subdued or captared.
That infamous sentiment is spreading over the
country. Men at home, whe, yesr ago, burst
not have uttered a IRRESPONSIBLE word, are now
open mousbed in their opposition to the govern
ment and to all really loyal men, whether in civil
life or in the army; and while one wing of the
party of slavery treason is fighting against the
government, another is voting against it. All
this is the fruit of this policy Of delay If there
had been even q reasonable amount of vigor,
and rapidity of movement at all commensu-
rate with the spirit of the country and of the
army, no political opposition to the govern
ment would or could have been organized at the
North.

State are making movement, through their
boards of supervisors, to erect monuments of
marble in conspicuous places, with the names of
all their heroes who give up their lives in defense
of their country, either by means of rebel bull
let, or by disease. This is good idea, and ono
that could well be initiated by our county. We
believe there was move made at the last meet
ing of the board for this county to do something
of the kind We hope it will not be allowed to
flag and die out for the want of little energy
to carry the measure through.
The names of those who die in defense of their
country are worthy to be craven in marble, and
handed down from generation to generation, as
long as our country exists, or patriotism has q
place in our hearts. They will live in the minds
of grateful people until time shall CEASE

WAR MEETING LAST NIGHT.

Quite large crowd assembled in front
of the Court House last night, to hear the
speeches of Hon. Geo. E. Pugh and Col
Anderson. The fermer gentleman, in the
course of his remarks, declared that " at

past" He said further that che belonged
to the old Democratic party. He was q
party man. Parties were essential to pub
lie liberty. Politics and the war must
be separated. We had right to criticise
the acts of the Administration and would
do it freely. We mast watch it's conduct
closely and if the President does not do
right, we must and would at the end OF
his term put in another man. The Pres

and laws, and respect the rights of the
citizen. The Democratic party demanded
this and meant to have it. The Presi-

and right. The liberties of the people
and the reserved rights of the States
must be respected" He said further that
"the Democratic party was for the Union,
and always had been, and was now for
its restoration, and you know he added
"when the Democratic party says thing
it means it," He announced that he was
himself for the Constitution as it is and
the Union as it was.
