Editors Valley Vnyanian :
Dear Sirs Il have long been acquainted
with all the country known as the "Penin-
sula," and especially that in the immediate
vicinity of Hampton, Old Point, and Neao-
ports Meas.
Not until the war closed did I ever hear
the place called "Neaoport News"-the left
out. Smiths history Of Virginia, apart from
evidence of the citizens at and near Newport's
News, should be authority upon this subject.
In the admirable contribution to one of the
New York monthlies, some years ago, by your
distinguished townsman, Maj Jed Hotchkiss,
in which thecountry from Huntington to New
ports News was SO finely described, find the
word correctly spelt.
Why Virgnians persist in making a change
in the name of point rendered historical in
the days of the early settlers of our State, and
memorable as the place where the greatest
naval engagement of the late war occurred
and soon to be the finest shipping point in all
the South, is to many of US indeed singular.
If we drop the and the apostrophy, the
name is really stripped of it's significance
in great measure. 1t may be some trouble
when rapidly writing to use the apostrophy,
but let us by all means retain thes
| am aware that some etymologists have
endeavored to prove that the word may be
written without the s; but granting their pO-
sltion as to its origin, which do not propose
to do, submit the question: Should change
be made, knowing that during scores of years,
dating back to the days of the earliest settlers,
this word has been handed down from father
to son, and invariably spelled by the citizens
of that section with the $ and apostrophy?
am not writing with special reference to
the publication of my views, but to express to
you my qualification at noticing that you have
printed in your paper this word correctly.
while too many have adopted the change.
Very respectfully,

Gen. Malone in the Senate.

The Washington telegraph correspondent
of the New York Tribune, of the 10Th, has
the following Malone to-day said
that every mail brings him new indications
Of the spread of the anti-Bourbon movement
in the Southern States, and that there is every
reason to believe that in the elections this fall
the anti-Bourbons will sweep Virginia He
says that the Readjusters have lost only one
man on account of his attitude in the Senate.
and that man was never heartily with them
and voted for the Bourbon Presidential
ticket. General Malone says that the Texas
Senators are discovering that they are not
supported by the people of their State in
uniting with the Bourbons in the Senate. as
the four leading Democratic newspapers of
Texas support Mahone's attitude. In Ar
kansas, too, he learns that there is already
break from the solid Democracy, and one of
the former leaders is at the head Of an oppo-
sition movement. In the Carolinas and in
Florida there are he says, constant indica-
lions OF an increasing opposition to Bour-
bonism.
General Malone is evidently earnest and
sincere IN the belief that the present contest
In the Senate offers the first real promise that
it will be possible to break up the solid South
Ii the Republicans do not stand firm now,
Malone says that it will be useless hereafter
for any person inside the Democratic party
In the South to arise in opposition to Bour-
bonism, and that the fact of the failure to
be supported by the liberal element in the
North in this struggle would be cited as a
bar to any future attempts in the same
direction.

The Yorktown Centennial.


The centennial anniversary of the surrendre
of the British troops under Lord Corvallis, at
Yorktown, Va, occurs on the 10Th of October
next, and elaborate preparations are being
made for the celebration of the event. The
preliminary steps were taken in Carpenters
Hall, Philadelphia in October, 1879, by the
converting of the Governors of the Colonial
States, in response to call from the Governor
of Virginia. At that meeting, Richard K.
Belts recalled an incident of the memorable
surrender, illustrating the character of Wash
ington. Gen'l Lincoln had surrendered to the
British forces at Charleston eighteen months
before the capitulation at Yorktown The
British commander would not receive his
sword, but deputed an inferior officer to re-
ceive it. Washington, mindful of the insult
to his General, when CORVALLIS surrendered
to him at Yorktown, deputed that General to
receive the British Commanders sword
At the Philadelphia meeting committee Of
one from each State was appointed to make
arrangements for the celebration, and the work
was Immediately put under way. Congress
at its last session appropriated 100000 for a
monument to be erected at Yorktown, and
$4,000 for the celebration, and appointed as
committee to take part in the proceedings, q
Senator and Representative from each of the
Colonial States. The Yorktown Centennial
Association was organized under the laws of
Virginia, and the president of the association
has issued an appeal to the public asking for
money to be raised by private subscription s
help carry out the patriotic objects contem-
plated, and Mr.. J. E. Peyton, general superin-
tendent, has made supplementary appeal to
all who cherish with pride this glorious chap
ter in our nations history.
The civic and military displays will doubt
less be very imposing. In addition to detach-
ments of the regular army and navy, the vol
unteer organizations of the various States are
expected to participate. The Second Virginia
regiment, in which our people already feel
such an interest, will doubtless have its organ
ization completed and be in fine trim for the
occasion.
Congress authorized last year an Invitation
to the President and people of France, and the
family Of Gen1 Lafayette, and appropriated
$4,000 to carry out the provisions Of the reso-
luton. 1t may be confidently anticipated
that this centennial festival will be one Of the
most striking, pleasing and satisfactory of all
the celebration suggested by patriotism in
this country. A host of historic Incidents and
traditions cluster around the old Virginia
town, and this effort to perpetuate their record,
and unite the sympathies and efforts of es-
tranged sections in a work of common pride,
it is thought and believed will have the hap
piest of results.
