Lynchbuyg Trgtnian, his determination to
take part with the South, especially his native
State, in the trouble-eha was then anticipated
He went so far as to say that, in no case, would
he draw his sword against Virginia But the
Establishments of Office overcame his resolu-
tion and induced change of purpose that was
very mortifying to his Immediate family and
friends in this State who we're all of that States
Rights school to which the General belonged
We have heard, from member Of the fam
lily, that when the General was a child, during
the Southampton Insurrection he was saved
from a violent death By his elder sister who,
escaping from their dwelling, carried him 10
her arms to the woods, just in time to save
him from the avenging furies led by Nat Turn
er, who spared neither age nor SEX The flu
tule General escaped the fate that happened to
many others during that bloody negro insurrec
ton, to draw his sword for the emancipation of
those who would have butchered him in child

as some inferior men by whom he was over

praised for his action in regard to the Force

We know few pictures more mournlul and
