seventh birth day and the other by COM
ing out in that evidence of prosperity a
new and expensive dress-which we must
eandidiy confess we saw no room for

spirits and forced open place into which
the seeds were dropped that have Powered
into two Of the most influential and pros
porous journals in the Commonwealth.
Chamberlayne has gone, lamented by all,
bat the tree he planted and watered with
his life is as vigo rous to day as ever. and
the model of afternoon journals. Under
the spreading and thrifty branches of his
tree our old friend, Col. Lewellen, still
sits. enjoying the well earned fruit of one
of the most enterprising and healthy jour
nals of which Virginia can boast. Such
journals are good leaven with which to
leaven the spirit Of the new Virginia.
