THE AMOUNT INCREASED.

Charles Broadway Rouss, the great
Southern philanthropist, now offers to
give $500, 900 towards the erection of
Confederate Battle Abbey or memorial
hall, provided the people of the South
contributed like amount. He stipu
lates that he shall approve the design
and have the naming of one half the trus-
tees and the appointment of the holders
of one-half the chairs of art and science
proposed to be established. He earnestly
sets forth the advantages to he derived
from the extension of the former plan,
and the location of the abbey in Wash
ington. He does not, however, withdraw
his former proposition of 100000, with
location in any Southern city the COM
mittee may select. The proposition was
submitted, on behalf of Mr.. Rouss, by
Col. a. G.. Dickinson, of New York, to
the committee appointed by the veteran $
association at Houston, Tex, last year,
and made profound impression: but it
is doubtful whether or not the people of
the South will consent to the location
suggested by Mr.. Rouss. The people of
this section have been thoroughly recon
structed. it is true, but, like their breth-
rem in the rest of the United States
they are influenced in their views of the
late war by sentiment and the eternal
fitness of things, and this being the case,
they will hardly consent to have a memo
rial of. their struggles and sufferings for

THE COMING FOURTH.

Another Fourth of July is near at
hand, and as the years go by the people
of the South are returning TO its celebra-
ton with all the old time ardor of before
the war, when pc-nics, military parades,
excursions and orations were the order of
the day and in which everybody Joined
with alacrity and enthusiasm. For some
years after the close of the civil strife.
especially while the people of this sec
ton We're struggling against the efforts
of extremists to Cypress and humiliate
them, not much attention was paid to
the once glorious Fourth: but as time
wore on, and the Southern people re-
gained control of their own affairs, they
gradually joined in the celebration, until
now patriotism and enthusiasm are the
rule, and the day is once more one of gen
eral jubilation. And why should the
South not rejoice on the nations birth
day? Their forefathers did as much to
secure American independence as did
those of any section. Virginia furnished
Washington to lead the Federal armies.
and sent her sons to battle for the colo
MES in the North and South. 1t was
Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of
independence, and it was greatly through
his wise counsels, aided by other states
men from.this State, that the Union lived
and. prospered during its early years: nor
was this all that Virginia did, for besides
contributing so largely to the success of
the revolution, she voluntarily gave to
the Union, in her northwest territory, an
empire in itself. Had the American col
onies instead of consolidating themselves
into nation after the war; retained each
its separate independence, Virginia. with
the military instincts of her people
might have become the Prussia of the
West, and instead of being over-rIln and
forced back into the Union, rs she was
in 1850, she might have gradually dom
mated the other States and dictated the
policy of the whole Confederation from
the beginning. With the generosity
worthy of all praise she joined her for
tunes with her weaker sisters after the
revolution As she did with the States of
the south in 1851, and at all times was
ready to contribute more than her share
to the welfare of those whom she was
united. Though shorn of much of her
strength she is still great She has vet
within her borders elements that are
bound to carry her to the front among
the States of the Union, and when the
Fourth of July comes her people should
celebrate it with as much enthusiasm as
those of other sections; for no State did
more in giving to America such day
than the grand Old Commonwealth of
Virginia.
