upoh the possibilities of our American

FROM AN OLD WILL.
Clause Written by Thomas Richie Be
fore the Civil War.

In the will of the late Thomas w. Richie
which was rrobated in the Orphans Court
of the District of Columbia in 1854, there
appears clause which is very patriotic in
spirit, and apropos of the present war sit
uation. Mr.. Ritchie was a prominent law
yer and newspaper man residing in Rich
| riond, Va. He afterward came to Wash
ington, where he died.
After making the bequests, Mr. Richie
adds:
Il cannot repeat the advice which the il
lustrious and patriotic George Mason (of
Nirgina) has inscribed upon his will. He
enjoins it upon his sons not tc dedicate their
lives to the public sergice-on the contrary.
L hold it to be the duty of every citizen 10
watch over the interests of a country of
which he is a member, and such free and
glorious country this Isl Who is lot
proud of her destiny? Who is not willing TO
give his services and even his life to the
maintenance of the great principles on
which her free and federal Institutions are
based. America has made one of the great
est political discoveries that the worli has
ever witnessed, u form of organization
which reserves to the states and their peo-
pie the power of regulating most OF the
functions which appertain to governments,
leaving but very few powers. and they only
of the most general, and yet important.
character, to the jurisdiction of the fed eral
authorities.
Hence the specification which is made
III the Constitution of those powers which
the United States are to exercise in their
legitimate sphere, and hence the necessity
of watching over the operations of the
machinery and repressing Its excesses when
it threatens the rights of the states.
I'VE are already the greatest power
among the nations We are destined to
be greater still, but let us not be too am
bilious of inordinate acquisitions or too
rapid in our advances. Let us fill up the
immense territory which We own. Let us
hot be too anxious to step one foot from
the main land to tie islands unless, indeed
as in the case of Cuba, we are threatened
by the barbariZation of that beautiful
island and its conversion into a black and
hostile neighborhood. Let us not deny to
the Inhabitants of other lands free asy-
lum within cur own shores, but let US con-
fine ourselves to the operation of national
causes. In this way We may best acciimate
the Immigrant to our free institutions
Preserve both the rights of the states and
the union Of the states. These are the TWO
great pillars Of American prosperity ana
glory"
This will was witnessed by the late w.

to be available for any emergency work
Later he reached the conclusion that it
would be no more than fair to afford the
battalion an opportunity to go into the SER
vice, and therefore communicated to Major
Ross that company from the 1st Battalion
would be accepted. AS not more than one
company, it seemed. could be made up
from the strength of the battalion the offer
was confined to one company.
Maj. Ross Response
The reply to General Harries received at
headquarters today was as follows:
"At full meeting of the officers of the
1st Battalion, held tonight, the unani-
nous sentiment expressed was that mas
much you had deemed best to have the
lst Battalion remain in Washington, so as
to be available for any emergency work,
they accept that designation, preferring to
keep companies and battalion intact

ment,

that the LIST Battalion will not be represent

of the battalion is something less than 200
officers and men, and that fully fifty Of
these men, who are employed at the navy
yard, have been excused from military duty
by the Secretary OF War, acting on re-
quests from the Secretary Of the Navy,
General Harries first planned that the bat
