Interesting Public Meeting and Proceeding


Interesting Public Meeting and Proceedings.
MIDDLEsEX COUNTY, Va, July 10.
have waited for some other pen to de-
pict TO your imagination day made memo.
rable in old King and Queen, and show
that the same spirit still exists i'll this old
county OF hospitality, for which Virginia
and Virginians have always been rcmarka-
Bile. Friday being set apart by her good
citizens as 4 day Of festival to show her
appreciation Of knowledge, we could but
admire the many bright faces Of girls and
boys as they were led forward, represent
lug mighty army Of morals arrayed
against vice, their varions colored badges
dancing in the sunlight, superintendent by
many teachers, and led on by Mr.. Is. +
Bland of this county, whose aim, II seemed
was To render every one agreeable, and to
see that things were conducted i'll the good
Old Virginia style.
The church was handsomely decorated
with evergreen; and when the children
were seated, with their smiling faces, i,
seemed that nature partOok of their glce
for as the hymn they sang echoed and re.
echoed, the tall forest tree would bend low
its mighty head, as ITO catch yet another
sound as il was waited through its many
branches.
At the conclusion of the hymn by the
children, we were pleased to see among
the speakers those from other counties,
which gave evidence that they, too, were
interested in this gigantic movement in
behalf Education and Virginia." which
was handsomely written over the speakers
stand.
The FIRST address was delivered by the
Rev. II. W. Mitchell, of Essex, his theme
being principally that of education, and
evinced cohclusively that his was mind
OF no ordinary calibre. He possesses all
the attributes Of great man, aud needs
only time TO place him amongst tho first OF
his profession.
Next followed Mr.. Hogc, of Gloucester.
VINO addressed himself more particularly
10 the dear children, who looked upon him
with reverence We have never before
Witnessed. Next in order was Colonel Z.
b. Montague, Of King and Queen. lie
spoke Of our dear "Old Mother, Virginia, y
and her losses and injuries sustained at the
hands OF her enemies in the late combat
ior liberty; and above all, in the fall Of so
many OF her noble sons in common with
.No1 o'osS9 StoCs VI the South, which
Drought tears 70 the eyes OF many OF.
Contederates PRESENT.
Al the conclusion Of these remarks, Mr.
B. then invited the large audience /,
partako Of superb repast which awaited
them in the yard, where youth, middle age
and old age, were mingled incoDgruousl,
together.
Tho sumptuous dinner on this occasion
WAS well-saitcd 10 the most fastidiou
taste, and there were many exchanges o
kind feeling between friends brought to
gether on this occasion who, perhaps, hat
not seen each other for years.
Let other counties adopt this excellent
example Is means TO stimulate the rising
