at that the people come to place presenting
SO many and SO varied attractions. The
splendid scenery. the brac,ig air. the health
giving waters, all unite to WOO the traveller.
Add to these tine genicmanly courtesy Ofthe
genial host and his assistants, the nice anu
comfortable rooms. the luxurious and we'll

Ii appears to NE great mistake for persons
to put of coming till everybody else is ready
to come. 4 short time hence there will pro.

Messrs. Editors Of he Lyhchburg RGptbi

publish some days ago Il couple OF paragraphs
on what he called " the easy art of lnsrepre.
sentation," remarklng how readily its bad
wolk might be done by merely corruptin.
an apparently little distinction or qualifying
circumstance, bnt such us really gave Signit
clnce and color to the whole matter in con
troycrsy. The allusion or application then
was to some of Mr.. Voorhees, speeches
against Horace Greeley. The writer then
hcsitated to distract his argument by per-
sonal alluSion, or to burden it with any eN-
PLANTATION peculiar to himself. Yet, what he
il to say, here and now, may be useful ls III
additional and striking illustration f.show
the most innocent may suffer greatly i'll
reputation by tile mere omission OF his ae'
cllsers To account or to represent truly i SIN
Gle point of distinction.
In other times the present writer wrote q
good deal TO show the utter incOmpetency OF
Jefferson Davis us President Of the Southern
Con,cdelicy. On this the clamor was raised
against him that he had yilitied the cause
and people of the South, and that he could
have done 80 for no other reason than to ae-
ouire favor in the North! This censlire had
u certain plauSibility to captiyate the foolish
and those too indoIent to think; it acquired
circulation again and again the writer ill.,
terposcd explanation, but misrepresenta'
tons die hard, and to-day he may he to some
extent sufferer from this mes absurd ac'
cusatiom. Now, this misrepresentation was
done by simply slurring the distinction be.
tween M,. Ddpis and the cause represented
by the people of the South. Indeed, sc
f;r from the writer having yilificd the South
in these respects, his very effort to show
that tue Confederacy had failed from the
incolnpetency of its rulers, and not from
any fault or delinquency OF its people, not
from f;lilure of their virtue. or lack of then
exertion, was calculated to defend and uindi'
cate the people Of the South, and to save them
from possible, or indeed q likely, misconcep
ton in history. TO "shoW up" MIR. Davis
was simply to do them historical justice; to
show that the "lost cause had not been lost
by any fault or shortcoming of theirs. And
vet how has this office OF the writer, which

MExrco.--The following IS fuller tele-
graphic account than that we published yes
tcrday concerning Treyino's victory:
Ne,p York. June A special dispatch
from Camargo, dated the Sd instant. says
"After the fight near Monterey, ON the 3oth
ultimo, General Trevino rallied all his forces
on the following day and attacked General
Corelh in the suburbs of the city and conf
p!esely routed him." The dispatch states
that the Government troops lost everything,
their entire force being killed, wounded, and
scattered. The campaign of two months
pre,nlation against the northern frontier is
thus ended. 1t is supposed that Ireyino's
defeat on the first day was a ruse. The reVo'
Iutionists are exhilarated, and claim q new
impetus to their cause. Nothing is known
of Trevino since his victory, but III Is ant!ci-
patcd that he will return to the border. Ihe
troops here are under orders to move nj
moments notice.
