The r oman Sentinel.

When Pompeii was destl Dyed there
were very many buried in the ruins of
it who were afterward found in very
different situations. There were some
found who were in the streets, rs if
they had been attempting to make
their escape. There were some found
in deep vaults, as if they had gone
there for security. There were some
found in lofty chambers. But where
did they find the Roman sentinel? They
found him standing at the city gate,
with his hands still grasping the war
weapon, where he had been placed by
his captain. And there, while the
heavens threated him; there, while the
earth shook beneath him; there, while
the lava stream rolled, he had stood
at his post; and there, after a thousand
wears he was found.

VIRGINIA has shown great energy in
retrieving the losses sustained during
the rebellion. That terrible struggle
left the state almost in ruins. The
towns were partly destroyed, the coun-
try laid waste, the railroads were torn
up. Now the entire aspect has been
changed by the hand of industry. The
cities have largely increased in wealth
and population, and manufactures are
under way. Norfolk has become the
second cotton port In the south, and
three cotton presses work day and night
to load the ships. Education, formerly
much neglected, is zealously fostered.
Schools and colleges are on larger
scale, and its military institution is
said to compare favorably with West
Point. An Insane Asylum for negroes,
affording shelter to three hundred of
the unfortunate race, is model of
economy and cleanliness. Allhonor to
