in the slightest degree The dsstruc-
ton Of their commerce. upon the seas
tlistresses them most deeply, II nils
them with apprehensions, and sadly dis
t,,rbs their siumbers IN their business
chambers. Oh, that we could cover the
seas with ships commanded by Maffits
and Semmeses and Maurys, to keep up
this kind Of punishment with inccssant
activity. 1t would infusc amongst the
heartless capitalists Of the North lively
sense Of the horrors of war, and set them
earnestly to calculating the cost--to as
certain whether or not At @illpay. This
war is fought partly for fanaticism, but
chiefly for profit and plumber, to retain
the Grand profits growing out OF South
ern commerce, and to enjoy the plumber
Gathered by the invasion from Southern
dwellings and Southern estates. The
only way to reach these sordid motives
is by visiting upon the sordid wretches
who entertain them the greatest OF Ca
lamities that can befal them: the loss o.
property. The sea is the place to pun
lsh them in this way. They have a
great commerce, AiIu VIZ h"AS y" 'fS->''

The harvest is abundant, but the labor
ers are few. Let us send more Let us
unite heart and purse in sending out all
that we possibly can. The scheme OF
the Virginia navy will add something to
the gallant little fleet that is doing so
much for the cause OF the South. The
directors of the company are well known
in this community to be amongst our
most reliable and sagacious merchants
and business men. We name Messrs.
McCance & Harrison, of this city, and
.Jno. r. Mcdaniel, Of Lynchburg. Large
subscriptions have been made to the en-
tcrprise 1t promises two-fold reward
private and national. The pecuniary
profit alone would be tempting of itself;
hut the advantages to the cause are
enough to command the liberal contribu-
tons Of every man of means who desires
to help to secure our independence and
forever dissolve the tie which has held us
to association with people we detest,
and who have proven themselves to he
devoid alike of humanity and justice.
