- Lord, let me know my end aut the number of
my days, that | may be certified how long hav6 to

VIRGINIA ERECT.

From the Augusta Constitutionalist, Fob 2lstl
The recent magnif cent manifestations of public
spirit by the people Of Virginia upon the reception
oil Lmcon'S infamous and debasing propositions
tor abject submission, cannot but awaken thrill
ut stern Joy throughout the whole Coniederdcy.-
They must at the same time eXtOrt, even from our
euem6S praise and admiration tor the iOrtltude and
manhood which they evnce. The gauntlet has
been thrOYA down, aud Virginia without hesitdncy
takes II up. To the covert words of reconstruction
and peace, she answers dedantly aud proudly. Her
blood is up. Her generous nature has been out
ragged Once more she throws herself IN the breach,
aud stands with barred bosom prepared 10 receive
whatever OF additional violence aud calamity the
future may hold.
But what else was to have been expected from
the grand Old Dominion Her course at present is
in perfect cOnSOuaHce with the paSwith that past
which shines upon Us with its glorious light from
the far-Ot days OF Charles and Cromwell, when she
maintained her sovereignty intact, aud reprobatcd
tie Puritancal and Ruundhead interference OF the
Protectorate-trom that past when she led Ia the
forefront of the Revolution of l776 and from that
more recent, yet none the less important past,
when, grding up her long disuScd armor, she await
ed with calm confidence the onslaught of the Yankee
myrlnidonS, who would teach the South now civil
izaton and new Christianity.
