Al INHERITED coast.

The confident spirit Of the Virginia people
at the beginning Of the war was asc.ibed by
Northern writers 10 an undue boasifulness
born Of ignorance and slavery. The old
Southern cavalier never doubted for mo-
meutbut that zone Yrcinan was equal 90 four
Yankees" and this belief whatever us origin,
had something 10 do, no doubt, with the Won
dtlul results of the war. There was hered-
itary basis ion this conviction which actual
facts did not contradict Nearly two hum
dred years before the war between the States.
Nathaniel Bacon, Jr.. known as the rebel, ~
Is said 20 have given expression 10 a
similar thought in referring to the enemy Of
his day. When some one asked him how he
could expect 10 Withstand the power Of the
British nation. who at Bcrkeley's invitation
would send a regiment of British red coats

One Virginian is equal 10 four Red Coats -
There WAS also another rebel. George
Washington who applied the remark di-
rcctly home. Washington bitterly COM
plains in his published letters OF
the behavior of the Northern troops in
his campaigns i'm New York and the Jerseys.
Nothing but desertions speculatlons, eNtor-
tons and forc,talliugs met him On every
hand. In one letter he declared that nothing
bat fear of actual punishment deferred the
majority Of people IN New y ork from lend
ing aid openly TO the enemy. and in another
he wishes for a "gallows five times AS
high as Humans TO hang all peculators,
spectators and extortonists" But in
letter said 20 have been written to Governor
John Page and destroyed during the war. but
whose contents are well remembered bymany
citizens of Williamsburg, Va. be used this
expression " Hurry mp with the Virginia
troops. These Yankees viii Lot fight"
1t Is thus seen that the spirit alluded to is a
Transmitted possession which, before the late
war was ever thought Of, was INDUCED in by
the two greatest rebels Of ancient Virginia
Bacon and Washington.
