r e.. Committee IS keeping up aa
ac,,ye charge upon the lines evefyWnefs'
and especially on the court-days .nete =
uncommon energy. This week WIZ s''o"
= r,uch shirt and muster into service as
,nnch ability as can well pc brought ous'
rndoe6 no former period do we remember
when as much forensic talent was sunn-
moned before the people, OF Virginia. Tne
exicencies Of the times and the hleh per''s
~ the Commonwealth have been responded
"a and men equal to the public necessity
have appeared. The people OF the con'
monweaIth should be proud OF The TACT.
We have always felt assured that 10 yT-
pinia men would rise up equal 10 tue oan'
GERS and the necessities OF the state.
bos ever been SO, and now we behold ~ Us
.rn,v as ever so. We have now some 81 tue
noblest men that ever enlisted III Tue ger
vice a, the Commonwealth-men VINO are
everv inch yirginians-who are bravery
and ably defending her honor, her arg
nifty, and her virtue. Not merely po'i-
,icjans nor soldiers Of an hour, put ae-
voted sons of grand old mother, WHO
are determined to vindicate her integrity
her dignity, and her fame-men "ho arc
determined that she shall have peace ana
rest and assured order and tnrit. Ana.
such host OF true and devoted sons snouio
appear in this exigency to carry ous iuiiS
this grand resolution, so honorable 10 VIZ
sinia's sons, so gratifying to her, IS great
event and cannot fail to lift up Virginia TO
an elevation that will inspire in the civilized
nations new admiration and noble VEN
Grafton.
This day, we say, is field-day which is
remarkable for the appearance OF some OF our
poblest defenders Of the Commonwealth
in different localities in the State. Wetake
occasion to name them:
Judge H. C. ALLEN speaks to-day at Page
Courthouse. That county is impaired to
Slight degree by some deterioration IN the
pride aud integrity Of some of her people,
who have wandered away towards the de-
ludcd Adullamites; not so many OF them,
indeed, that they may not by sound talk
and kind monitious be brought back to the
track Of good faith and public devotion.
Judge ALLEN is man OF ability, and he has
the virtue Of sincerity united with public
devotion, and cannot fail to make strong
impression whenever he speaks. The pres
sure brought to bear upon the folly or IA
naticlsm OF the Agitators is steadily wearing
it away. The Judge will help greatly to
diminish it. We shall be sure to hear
favorable account of his effort.
Major w. F. G. GREGORY also enters the
lists at Page Courthouse along with Judge
ALLEN. The people Of Page will see Major
GREGORY for the first time, and he will en-
terrain them and instruct them too. We
would like for him to meet the fidcetty
