tary Institute, pays the following feeling and
handsome tribute to his memory: -.
One name is now missing from the PROBES
sionaE roll of this Institution The day when
Stcnewall Jackson's native Stare most needed
his services-when all her people we're looking
to him for deIIyerance, from the troubles in
which they We're then involyed-wh the
hopes of the Coniederaey were centered in
him-When the prayers of j people. morning
and evening, assembled 70 Heaven, implori6g
Cod blessing, protection aud preservation OF
him-wheu the love and affection of a whole
people we've eutwined about him,-at that
moment he Is removed from amongst us. He
sleeps in youder Cemetery. His resting place
Is hallcwed ground, and win be visited by
countless thousands, who have been impressed
with the genius of the man. as exhibited In
the recent civil war-with his dauntiess
courage-his pure and spotless character, his
christian virtues-his rigid simplicity-his
Observation-Disclosures and his selEsacrifcing spirit
and disposition The dauntless heart was
stricken down in the hour of victory, at
Chancellorsville:
''In pride, in ali the pride of woo,
We tell OF him the brave laid low,
Who for his birthplace blcd.''
He is gone. This institution shall know
him no more, as one of its honcred Professors
Hisyoice shall not be heard again, in the way
of admonition, and in imparting instruction.
1t is stilled, and stilled forever in death.
He has filled the measure of greatness-he
has won imperishable rcnown, and his name
and fame will live forever He loved Viz
ginia with his whole heart; and died for her,
in what he believed to be the cause Of truth
and right. His example is left to us, for
imitation-and no brighter or better example
can be held up before the young and rising
generation. He was q man of labor, and in
the changed condition of affairs, all our peo-
pie now must practice industry. He was
economical, and in, the depressed condition cf
our affairs, financial, commercial, agricultural
and mechanical, it behooves US to practice a
rigid economy. He was systematic in business,
prompt resolute aud active-essential elements
of success. He was patient, untiring, ener-
getic, never postponed the work of to, day;
for a more convenient season. He was gentle,
kind, charitable, and studiously polite
always performed his duty faithfully, and
courtously. In all these respects. he had
no superior, aud his character and life, there
fore is worthy of emulation. ''Take him all
in all, We nee'r shall look upon his like again"

From the following letter of the Hon. B.
H. SAITH, the conservative candidate for
7 Governor of West Virginia, 1T will be seen
{ that the ininitable tBoreman declines taking
the astump." 1t is perhaps well for his
Excellsncy that he does not see fit to meet
his antagonist before the people, for with a
bad cause and weak-mind, it is not likely
that he would make much headway. Col.
Smith says -
