The Oldest Presbyterian Church.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
In recent No. OF the Dispatch there
appeared an account OF the meeting OF
Roanoke Presbytery, in which your cor
respondent says "Cub-Creek church,
Charlotte county, is the oldest church in
the presbytery, having been organized
about 1732." He is no doubt mistaken as
to this being the date of its organization.
In John Esten Cookies Virginia" the
author says: I'm f73S the Presbyterian
Synod of Philadelphia petltioned the Gov
ernor of Virginia that those of their de-
nomination moving 10 the Valley OF Vir-
ginia might have the free enjoyment of
their religious liberty and the writer of

of John -. Calhoun, having received a
courteous response. proceeded to settle

THE GIRLS IN THE SADDLE.

The fair daughters OF the good old
| county OF Rappahannock are nothing. II
not progressive. Indeed II may be said
that they are NOT only progressive, but
ahead of the times. One day last week
they threw down the gauntlet to man
kind. and gave notice to the world at
large that henceforth they are not to be
regarded az the weaker sex.
The medium through which these clever
maids OF Virginia undertook TO publish
their accomplishments was a tournament,
in which all the contesting knights were
the old order Of things. the fair objects
OF their chvalric solicitude on this occa-
sion were men-men who, at the end OF
the tourney, were duly crowned as
kings and princes. In truth, the whole
affair was one in which our sweet Row
enas and Rebeccas played a leading part,
while the modern Ivanhoes and Launce-
lots sat simpering with embarrassment
and surprise at the sights before them.
Nor did these sprightly knights of pet
