A BRITISH MONUMENT TO STONE
WAI,T,JACKSGN.

1t is understood that the Distinguished gentle
men who head the movement for expressing in a
suitable form the admiration of this country for
the memory of ssStonewar' Jackson have near
ly completed their plans.
A statue in marble, of heroic size, seven feet
high, by Foley, is to be presented to the native
State of Jackson. Virginia, to be placed in the
State House at Richmond. The statue will rest
on pedestal OF granite designed Dy the same ar
tist, and on one side it is proposed to lnscrloe
that this is a testimony of England'S admiration
for a truly noble character; on the other side
General Lees order of the day, informing the
army of it's sad loss. 1t is estimated that the
statue. with the pedestal, will cost FL 900; the
pedestal and incidental expenses about f50O
more; in all, Fl, 500. This sum is to be raised
by subscriptions. The committee which has this
matter in hand consist at present, of the follow-
ing names

THE VALLEY OF VIRGINIA

The correspondent of the Savannah Republi-
can writes as follows:
Toward the setting of the sun, loom up in mis-
ty outlines the Shenandoah and Allegheny
mountains, between which and the Blue Ridge
stretches far away to the northeast and south
west the lovely valley of the Shenandoah, with
its beautiful farms, its fruitful soil and its hospi-
table society while east of us lies what is
known as the Piedmont region, diversified by an
infinite variety of hill and dale, and crystsl
streams, and constituting one of the most pictu-
rescue and attractive views to be seen in any
part of the world. The slopes of many of the
hills or lesser mountains are carpeted with green
hay and wheat fields, and their airy crest are
crowned with white farm houses and bending
orchards. Indeed, it may be described with al
most literal truthfulness as land flowing with
milk and honey, and one who has travelled
through it can no longer wonder that the Virgin
ians should be proud of their noble old Com
monwealth. In no other quarter of the globe
can there be found territory of like extent
which is at the same time productive and
fruitful, so healthful and well watered, pictu-
rescue and defensible. The effect of scenery so
grand and lovely, of soil so fertile and inyigo-
rating, upon the minds and hearts of the people,
cannot be otherwise than elevating and emo
bling, and will account in no small degree for
the galaxy of great names that illumine the his
tory of Virginia, from Washington down to Lee
and Jackson. a

THE POLISH QUESTION The diplomatic notes
upon the Polish question, addressed to Russia
by the three powers, were dispatched to st. Pc
tersburg on the 18th. The Paris ssPatre' pub
fishes article reviewing the atrocities commit
ted by the Russians in Poland, and declaring
that no hopes can be entertained of any benefit
arising from diplomacy The writer calls upon
France, IN conjunction with other friendly ma
tions, to intervene actively for the re-estabish-

The insurrection was increasing in Valhyria,
but the peasantry remained passive.
1t is asserted that the Russian government E.
vinced d spirit of conciiation and desire to re-
ceiYe the notes of the three Powers favorably;
but nevertheless great preparations continued TO
be made at Cronstad5 and other naval and mills

Russian reply was likely to be unfavorable.
