PARADE OF THE FIRST VIRGINIA
REGTMENT--"O "Ou," ,Soliiers. Our mis-
takc Of yesterday, saying that the parade of
the First Virginia regiment was postponed
on account of inclement weather, was due
to the statement of several members of the
regiment. A slight clearing up in the skies
induced change Of mind. The parade
came oil, and although but portion of the
members were present, those who partc-
pated made quite an imposing appearance.
We quote from the address of the newly
elected colonel, sufficient to show the spirit
of sectionalism which still peryades our
State. We wish it were otherwise, but in
the present state of our health we do not
expect to live to see the day when the peo-
pie Of Virginia will surrender their preju-
dces to love and admiration for the national
government. We have not crossed OF

Sloan, as taken from the Dispatch

MIR. Sargent and the Adulinisaraiion.


When Mr.. Sargent was elected Senator
from California the other day, resulting in
the defeat of Senator Cole, certain journals
made haste TO proclaim it a deieat OF the
administration. The fact is that SO far as
the relations Of either Of these gentlemen
towards the President is concerned, those
of Mr.. Sargent are quite as cordial as those
of Mr.. Cole. But Mr.. Sargent himself
puts at rest, all doubt as to his attitude in
certain remarks which he made on the &C.
casion of the reception rendered him after
his election on the evening of the 10th inst.
He said: - ,.5.

esIhe story Of the little boy who refused
to live with his aunt because she spanked

There were but seven ladies present to hear

INA PEEDICAMENT. Not great while
since, couple. male and female, appeared
before one of our local magistrates and de-
sired to be united in marriage. They
were considerably past the barriers of
youth, and their grave faces and solemn
mein denoted full appreciation of the
step they were about to take. The lady
in particular appeared quite uneasy, and
from time to time received whispered in
functions from her attendant to be calm
Once-or twice she looked as if she meant
to speak TO the magistrate, which, the
man perceiving, hastily interposed TO pre-
vent. Nevertheless, his watchfulness at
last proved unavailing, and the lady, in
sheer desperation, asked ''if all her pros
perty would belong to her husband as soon
as they were married.
THAT depends upon circumstances, 3"
was the reply.
Does it, now,'' exclaimed the lady,
swell, then, if that's the case want
one"
"You want what ?" inquired the per-
picked official!
"a circumstance, said the lady ;
"calt you put one IN tie cerenonyg'
The Magistrate rather thought he
couldn't
