a pity he did not select some one to prepare

The writer of this has no interest in the

teachers of the primary schools will not be
required to teach bad grammar and false

For AntfGuarfRnS.

A negro was plowing in Buckingham
county, not long since, and the ploWshare
turned up a curious and interesting revolu-
tionary relic. It was a medal about four
times as large as the Mexican dollar. On
one side is d device representing an infant
of Herculean strength, supporting an i'm
mense weight, and crushing q serpent with
his left hand. Above is Latin inscription
taken from Horace" Infans dnin,orsus
non sine diiS"-referring to the republic in
its infant state receiving strength through
the favor Of the gods. Above the diminu-
tive Hercules is a female figure with q
crested helmet upon her head and jayelin
in her right hand. Beneath are the dates
18th October, 1777, and 18th October, l78l,
corresponding to the surrenders OF Bur
geyne and of Lord CORVALLIS. The medal
was no doubt presented to soldiers who
had distinguished themselves in the cap
ture of two large British armies, and whose
meritorous conduct had much influence in
deciding the issues Of the war.
On the opposite side of the medal is the
head Of the Goddess of Liberty, inscribed
above " LibertdS AneT7cGnd," and beneath
"July 4th, 1776." The liberty cap is here
represented, though not upon the head OF
the goddess. 1t is said that at subse-
quent period, when the subject Of forming
device for the American escutcheon was
under consideration, Thomas Jefferson ob.
jected to the cap upon the ground that it
was the emblem of manumission, emphati.

SENATE CHAMBER,l
RICHMOND. VA. Feb, 1G, 1871. I

SENATE CHAMBER,2
RICHMOND, VA, Feb. 1G, 1871. !
Editor Norfolk TIrginion:
Sir Having been frequently questioned
since the Pennsylvania Central railroad
proposition came up for consideration in
the Legislature how expected to vote on
that measure, I would briefly state, that in
view of the late action taken at meetings
held in the cities of Norfolk and Ports
mouth, instructing our delegates to use
their influence in given direction to defeat
the aims and objects Of the great Pennsyl-
vania Central railroad corporators, that l
was sent here to do the will of my constitu-
ents in whatever looked to aud favored
their interests as an agricultural and COM
mercial people.
And to protect those interests should be
the high duty of those whose sections of
the State-aye, the State itself-are at stake.
Being caulker, and not railroad sche-
mist, it is not very likely that could COM
prehend all the advantages and disadvan-
tages contained in the bill. And feel
rather inclined to help raise the ship of
State than sink her any lower. AND, SIR,
IF THE SONS OF VIRGINIA WILL
CUT THE JUGULAR VEIN AND LET
FLOW THE LIFE.BLOOD OF THEIR
OWN STATE, l SHALL NOT BE PAR
TY TO IT. Nor do I hope ever to parti-
cipate in any movement that will further
distress my race by bringing down upon
them the trip-hammer vengeance Of land
owners, railroad contractors and agents,
and all that class of merchants who give us
employment.
And having heard arguments pro and
con. in both branches of The Legislature
touching this matter, the above is the COM
mon sense view l have taken of it as affect.
ing our district more particularly. 1t may
not he so with other sections more remote
from the Seaboard, but l look at it much
rs our Legislature regard the whipping.
post -" it is all well enough till it comes
to my turn"
like all railroad enterprises until they
begin with running me off the track.
lam aware that attempts have been made
to convert this into a partisan question, but
US do not see the force of such reasoning, |
shall not base my opinion thereon. What we
want is work and remup perating wages, and
other things will follow us matters of course;
and / am fairly persuaded that if we insist
on taking steps diametrically opposed to
the advantages we have and those we seek,
we shall loose the sympathy Of that class
upon whom we depend for our daily bread.
We ask for no other rights than those be-
longing to us under the State Constitution.
These granted, we shall be more than will
ing to help our people out of any difficult
ty, whether railroads, OF ought else. l
speak this independently. and risk the con-
sequences. Excuse my poor style, and be-
lieve me friend to all classes and COM
pleXions. GEO. TEAMoH.

that it will be made law before the close
of the present session of the Legislature.
