The people OF Botetourt are publicly de-
claring themselves for the extension OF The
Valley railroad from Salem to the Tennessee
line. Judge ALLEN and Dir. LAKELAND have
been speaking in behalf of the extension
aud The people are sustaining them. LACK
LAND has incurred both ridicu!e and con
demnation amongst the Mahoueites; but he
gets what he seems to prize more highly
the approval of bis constituents. This
extension business is giving trouble and vex
ing schemes that deserve little sympath!
from just persons. When it comes up there
will be some scatteration of combination:
which were formed in times past. Circum
stances will be very much altered and there
will be a new array of combatants. Viz
sina has been awfully swindled, and it re
mains to be seen whether her condition is tt
be changed for the better or for the worse.

THE LATE ANsELM RoTHSCHlLD.-The
death of Anselm Rothschild, Il member OF
the great Rothschild clearinghouse Of Eu.
rope, was announced by a cable dispatch on
Tuesday. He died at Vienna, Austria. lie
was the grandson OF the RothschlId who
founded the basis Of the fortune OF that "a.
nous banking house. The original Rohs.
child have five sons, the eldest OF whom
Anselm, was his partner. and the second,
Solomon, established himself Ia Vienna.
Though the telegraph does not give any
precise Information on that subject, Il Is
likely that Anselm, who has just died IN
Vienna, was the son Of Solomon, who found
ed the Vienna branch OF the R0!hschd
f!mily, and that he was called after Ms unrles
name, according to the custom of that iiml'y
to iutermarry in its own circle, and TO keep
strongly tied the family connections. There
is nothing exceptional in Auselm'' Il'r;
he was, as all the Rothschilds, very able
fnancier, q frugal and honest man. a muca

The Regatta.

"CoRStLL '13" puts in word for the re-
eatta at Saratoga. Ali that we said of 1t "t
gathered from the narratives of New Iorb
papers, They justified all the phrases eu'
ployed by us. "CoRNELL 'I3" makes Inc
best defence for the contestants. WeshouIo
be yratified to feel that he is not mistaken m
any part of his argument. We don't think
"ToM Brown" is the most leye-headed o.
men, aud we think there is just ground foI
apprehension of serious injury from bring
ing of the contests in rowing, baseball, DC
among the scholars into complete publicity
and into contact with the multitude. There
is danger of the degradation of the higher
motives of youth to those that are beneath
them.

A Case for Common Defence.

Mr.. +. q. RUFFIE, OF Chesterfield, has just
suffered loss OF some $4,000 by The de-
struction of barn with his crop of hay
stored therein. This is the evident result OIL
incendiar>m. There have been twelve at.
Temps to burn property belonging to Mr.
kUFFIs since The 18Th OF March. Thlre oil
the attempts resulted dsa>trously. Two oil
them were made upon his dwelling house
which was saved US if by a miracle. He has
been compelled to keep an armed Waterman
at nigh, upon his premises since the 2G,h OF
April.
So maj kcd case as this displays a danger
to society. and should be met by cpmbina'
ton for the common defence. When vim
dctivencsS seeks this dreadful way TO graft
tication it cannot be limited TO hostility &c
one man. The fire that sweeps away tht
property Of MIR. RuFFIN one night may reach
some OF his neighbors the next one. 1t i;
indeed fearful when for slight causes, from
imaginary wrongs, or caprice OF temper,
mans property and the lives Of himself ant
family arc in peri! from the torch of the in
cendiary.
That is a peace with serious drawback
which conpels the citizen to keep walcl
at night 10 guard him from danger. 1tshoult
arouse society. 1t becomes a common danger
and thoughtful and provident people,
civilized society, should take measures t
put an end TO any such peril. A man right
considering the matter could hardly slee
sound when he knew that his neighbor wa
in nightly peril from the incendlary.
malice which is thus stimulated BY baroarisn
is liketh prairie fire. 1t flies with the winds
and no place is safe from its destruction.
We sympathise with Mr. huFFlS, ant
trust that measures may be taken for tn
peace and security Of the county.

The Count of Paris's History.

The New York IImeS'S London CORE
spondent has forwarded to that paper some
extracts translated from the second volume
of the long.expected history of the Ameri-
can conflict from tie pen Of the Count Of
Paris.
1t was to be hoped that history would not
be profaned By so distinguished nobleman
as the Count of Paris by the production Of a
partisan work in which ignorance Of facts
is so glaring, as we are informed BY the ex-
tracts presented by the Times correspondent.
This may not strictly he called partisan
work, for its views are in a great degree the
result of ignorance. The Count shows the
grossest interpretation of the character,
society, and institutions of the southern peo-
pie. His work is far less entitled to rank as
history than the work of HORACE GREELEY,
or even DR.. DRAPER. 1t is no history at all.
OF the Confederate volunteers he says:
"They were to become good soldiers more
rapidly than those of the North. They were
more accustomed to follow their leaders.
Their ordinary life was rougher than the
farmers of the East more adventurous than
the pioneer of Ohio. Hsbituated to pTiya.
ton they could be content with rations
which the Federal soldier regarded as in.
sufficient. On the other hand, the Confede.
rate soldier, who had plunged with more
| passion than their adversaries, was in educa.
ton and intelligence the inferior to bis
fellow of the North. Southern society
being divided into very distinct classes,
only the elite was cultivated and the rest
had no education whatever. While primary
| instruction was universal in the North, pro
found ignorance reigned among most of the
| inhabitants of the slave States. Play
cards were often more found in the KNAPP
sacks OF Confederate soldiers than books OF
| writing paper, and the consumption OF
strong drink was much more prevalent
among them than among those of the
North"
What stuff is all this to be contained in 8
"historical analysis Of the character of the
Southern soldiery!" It has almost the nasal
| twang Of Boston camp colporteur.
Privation was unknown among the vol
unteer soldiers Of the South before the war,
and their onlg hardsMps were those OF their
OWE choice, incurred in field sports and the
chase. The intelligence and education OF
the southern volunteer soldiers is historic
even among those who fought against them.
Our law Offices, our warehouses, our public
offices, our stores, our schools and colleges,
were almost entirely deserted, and the most
gifted took their places in the ranks. As a
rule, the ellie of the South were the first to
fill her ranks. while in the North that was
the exception. The uneducated and hard
struggling laborer of the North, who was
unable to raise the money Necessary to avoid
the draft or send a substitute, bore the bruDt
Of the battle, and the few who went from
the higher walks Of life were not missed.
Profound ignorance would never. have i'm.

complete express system. The estaoiiSh'
ment of such a system will be expensive,
and its management must be practical, vigil

Therefore, let us not conclude that TIE
railroads can meet and create an express

At all events. whatever be the result, "t

membered that two Cuban editors in New
York, who-had been scathing- each other in
their respective columns, determined not
long since to settle the matter In duel to be
fought 10 Canada. They were arrested upon
information lodged by Mr. Riley, and held
in 81 900 to keep the peace. The friends OF
De Luna publicly stated at the time that the
arrest of that gentleman had been procured
by the cowardly Spaniard who feared to
meet his adversary. In order to show that
he was ready to meet his challenger De Luna
then challenged De Comic to meet him at
designated spot in Belgium on given DAY
in August. The plan was agreed to 6y both
parties. and SeTior De Conto sailed for Eu.
rome on Saturday last. Senior De Luna will
follow shortly if the peaceful Riley doesn't
nip him again. He is understood to be after
him. .

I can assure you that SO far as the inter-cOl-
legiate regatta is concerned, it will be con-
demned and discountenanced.
One is led to inter from your remark in
regard to the subordnatiOn OF muscle to

contestants in the late regatta, and which
were seconded by the several institutions
from which the crews came were derogatOry

their classes, particularly their captain and

on the errors of preceding regattas will be
noticed and corrected, and finally an ap-
proach to perfection will be attained that |
hope will merit the appreciation, and not the
