VIRGINIA HISTORY,

Virginia has demo more to mske
history and less to preserve it than
any other State" said Senator
Daniel in his address in Staunton on
on Saturday last at the celebration
OF Gen. Lees birthday, and the
remark is the more striking because
of its truth. and because of the in
jury the State suffers and will suffer
for want of proper history of its
life. Let anybody, as the Alexan-
dria Times remarks, stake look at
the methods of other States, from
New York to Wisconsin. and they
will find MIR. Daniels remarks cor.
rect"
Wisconsin," says our contempt.
rary, "has preserved with pious care
evory relic and atom of her history
from the first pioneers down to the
present day, while this State, SO
rich in Interesting history. has dis
tinguished itself only by neglect. !"
No State in the Union compares in
tho greatness Of ITS past with vir
glnia. On theAtield, in legislative
halls and in every sphere of life her
sons have been pre-eminent, and yet
their ssplondid achievements live
only in memory.
There is not a comfy or town in
the old Commonwealth that has not
q history worthy of the best, while
taken as whole, none is 30 resplen-
dant. From jamestown to Apo
matox every day would fill q page,
yet no thought seems to have been
given to the work of com pilation,
This ought not to be 80. Some of
these days when memory fades away,
when those who now delight to re-
count the deeds of her sons have
passed over "the silent river" the
work of gathering the fragments will
be al! the more difficult. Virginia
owes it to her posterity that some
record should be made of her
glorious past.

Editor of The tTrginian:

prislng citizens OF Norfolk, Ports
mouth and Berkeley, who have been
most potent factors in securing the
present prosperity, were as much
surprised as wac to learn many of
the gratifying facts with which your
energy and industry have made
them acquainted. Many of the
prophecies of the greatness in store
for Norfolk remained unfulfilled,
but the recent past gives assurances
of still greater things in the near
future. If all of those interested in

your efforts to promote the interests
Of the whole community, the greater
prosperity which we all 80 much de-
