Virginia's Troubles.

When Virginia was first settled her people
were subjected to the severcst trials Of war,
pestilence and famine. When these earlier
troubles were over past, period of prosperity
and happiness followed Immigrants poured
into her borders, and she become the leading
colony in these Western sett ements IN the
wealth, intelligence and heroism OF her peo-
pie. Then came other sorrows OF floods, po-
litieal and religious oppression and wasting
wars. This was followed by development
Of prospcrity-civil, religious and material
far eclirsing all her former glory. Her sons
were the trainers of bills for civil and rclig-
GUS liberty-Constitutio and wise and just
laws-leaders of armies, Governors of States
and Presidents of the Republic. From that
period to the beginning of the late war ever
and amen some great calamity has befalen
her The war came, and for four years her
soil was, drenched with blood her fields and
towns we're desolatcd and sacked, and finally,
torn and bleeding at every pore, she fell,
crushed beneath the weight of overwhelming
odds, her means destroyed, her labor gone,
her social system overturned and the iron
heel grinding her in the earth Bravcly,
earnestly, quietly she adapted herself to the
new order of things and manfully struggled to
meet the crisis. Then followed the memora-
bic disaster to her Capitol, by which SO many
lives were lost, which was succeeded by with
ering droughts, destructive floods, and, last OF
ali, the fall of her noblest, bravest, purest and
most beloved son. Oh! what catalogue OF
sorrows--what volume of calamities J!
Great calamities call out all the higher and
nobler feelings of our nature crush self IN

in great brotherhood whole people devel-

European Affairs.

The Baltimore Sun thus condenses the wal
news:
"a letter from Prussian headquarters
makes it appear that the delay in the expect
ed bombardment of Paris is owing to the
great difficulty in getting the, heavy guns up
nartly bv a break in the Paris and Strasburg
railroad at Meaux, and partly on account Of
the uneven character of ground 10 the envl
rons Of Paris. In consequence of this, it is
stated, nothing decisive can be looked for in
that quarter fer three weeks. In the mean
time the Parsiaus continue to rejoice over
their side of the story, which is that they
have driven the Prussians from all their ad
yanced positions around the city, as reported
on Saturday Dispatches from Versailles
however, emphatically deny that there has
been anv material change in the Prusslan pc
sitions, and assert that the Parsians have beer
repulsed in every soirtie they have made
Another dispatch says that the delayed attack
has been caused by Bismarck's desire to pre-
vent the Smelling of the city, but that the at
tack is now expected to commence next week
The same dispatch announces that Scissors
has capitulated after siege of four days
French dispatches report officially the evacu
alton of Orleans by the Prussians and anoth
or brilliant sortie from Paris, led by Trochl
in person, events which caused great enthusl
asm in Tours A great battle near Orlean
is considered imminent.
It's reported that Bazainc has succeeded il
cutting his way out Of Metz, and is en- rout
to the relief of Verdun. On the other hand
it is umored at Prussian headquarters tina
General Baez has been sent by Bazaine to tn
King at Versailles to treat for the surrende
of Metz.
