From The battle Of Bull Rrn, in the latter
mart Of July, 1eG1, when Richmond was for the
first time tc1ned into rocking hospital, uatl
the present accident, there has been one long
succession Of horrors enacted in its stroeta-
Every successive campaign filed tho place with
misery. Speeches. rebels, dying on the
st1etchers aud carts that fetchcd them home,
prisons full of the agony Of delay and starva-
ton, the file OF soldiers aiming At some de-
serter seated on his coffin, or the gibbet and its
gaming patrons, the thunder Of great guns in
tho ycry suburbs, the rolling fire raging mp
tho streets to Light the Federal avengers in, the
riots between white and negro what history!
Tack of it all, the chained herds Of slaves
mo, ing from their native cablns On the health
1rl streams OF the Chesapeake, to dis under
tie drivers whip in the swamps OF rice and
srrar. How these things make us think of
I;neo.ns saying: .'H eyeiy drop Of blood
dawn bv the lash is repa;d by another drawn
By the sword, even 30 We must say that the
judgments Of the Lord are good and righteous
altoscther!"
The ancient memories of Richmond ara lew
and unimpoEtant compared to these very mod
crn ones.
There have been white men'a abodes OF some
kind on the site OF Richmond since 1CI1 but
it is probable that there was nothing resomb-
ling town till 100, and the saue was ineor-
poratcd in 17l2- In 177s. during the revolr-
tiort the State papers and Legislature were rc-
moved here from old Williamsburg, but when
the traitor Arnold burnt tho town, in 17S1, it
contained only 1900 people, half OF whom
were slaves. In 1900 there we're nearly 6,0G0
people here, and in 1920, 1o,oo0- Now, there
are probably s5, ,0oo- ........
In 1850, the present Capitol building at
Richmond IVES commeneSd, and modelled upon
the plan Of celebrated Roman edifice at
Nisnes, France, called the Square House.
Thomas Jefferson, who Was shout that time
abroad, took particular pains to obtain =

consequently, the Capitol of Tirginia is one Of
