VIRGINIA AND MAS9ACUUSCTTS IN 1775 A ; ran immtnnM : vi;.-!.,:imi Tho following touching passngo, fioyf tho Richmond 11’%, nro contained* in the speech of the Hon. Alexander R. Bolder, of Va., delivered in the House on Wednesday. Wo honor the head and the heart from wliioh they proceed* ed. The ineidents narrated cannot tail to moieten every eyeby which they are perused. The language employed for the purpose is the languago of elevated patriotism-: . ? , . . r “The district wliich I represent, and the county from which I come—that oonnty mhde famous by the raid of Brown—was the first, the very first ,1n all the South, to send succor to Massa chusetts. In one of the mostbeautiflil spots in that beautiful county, within rifle shot of my residence, at the base of the hill, where a glorious spring leaps out into sunlight from beneath the gnarled roote of a thunder-riven oak, there assembled on the .10th of July, 1775, the very first band of Southern men who marched to the aid of Massa chusetts. They met there, and their rallying cry was, “ A bee-line for Bos ton 1" “That beautiful and peaceful valley had never been polluted by the foot steps of a foe ; for even the Indians themselves kept it free from the incur sion of the enemy. It was the hunting range and neutral ground of the abo rigines. This band assembled there; and a bee-line for Boston, was made from thence. Before they marohed they made a pledge that all who sur vived would assemble there fifty years after that day. It was my pride aud pleasure to be presont when the fif ty years rolled around. Three aged, feeble, tottering men—the survivors of the glorious band of one. hundred and twenty were all who were left to keep their trust, and be faithful to the pledge made fifty years before to their compan ions, the bones of many of whom were bleaching on the Northern hills. “Sir, I have often heard from the lost survivor of that band.of patriots the in' cidentsof their first meeting and their march; how they made some six hund red miles in twenty days—thirty miles a day—and how, as they neared, their E oint of destination, Washington, who appened to bo making areconnoissance in tho neighborhood, Baw them ap' preaching, and recognizing tho linsey woolsey hunting-shirts of old Virginia, rode up to meet and greet them to the camp, how, when he saw the captain— his old companion in arcsB, Stephenson, who stood by his side at the Great Meadows, on Braddock’s fatal field, and in many an Indian campaign, and who reported himself to his commander as ‘from the right bank qf the Potomacf—he sprang from his horse and clasped his old friend and companion in arms with both hands. He spoke no wprd of wel come, but the eloquence of silence told what his tongue could not articulate.— He moved along the ranks, shaking the hand of each, from man to man, and all the while—ns my informer told mo ths big tears were seen coursing down his manly chock. “Ay, sir, Washington wept 1 And why aid tho glorious soul of Washing ton swell with emotion t Why did he weep ? Because he saw that the cause of Massachusetts was practically the cause of Virginia; because he saw that her citizens reoognized tho great principles involved in the contest. These Vir ginia volunteers had come spontaneous ly. They had come in response to the words of her Henry, .that were leaping like live thunder through the land, tell- ing the people of Virginia that they must fight, and fight for Massachusetts. They had come to rally by Washington’s side, to defend your fathers firesides, to protect their homes from harm. Well, the visit hat been returned! John Brown selected the very county as the spot for his invasion; ana, as was mentioned in the Sonate, the rock where Seeman fell was the very rook over which Morgan and his men marched a few hours after Hugh Stevenson’s command had oross- ed the river some two miles further up. “May this historical reminiscence re kindle the embers of patriotism in our hearts! Why should this nation of ours be rent in pieces by this irrepressible conflict! Is it irrepressible! The bat tle will not be fought out here. When the dark day comes, as come it may, when this question that now divides and agitates the hearts of the people, can only bo deoided by tho bloody ar bitrament of the sword, it will be the saddest day for us and all mankind'that the sun of Heaven has ever shone np- on. . .

One Saturday evening the train was in very late and he did not take his customary amount of sleep, which however did not prevent his at tending divine service as usual. Dur ing the sermon he unwittingly fell into a troubled sleep, soothed by tho monot onous voice of the' clergyman. All of a sudden he sprang up from his soot, thrust hit hat under his arm and giv ing his neighbor in front a push shout- “Ticket, sir!” Tho startled neighbor also sprang to his feet which thoroughly aroused “con ductor,” who, looking wildly around, and turned towards him, instantly com prehended his position, and “slid a in hi* hand, and threatened;to Aoot the first man^who advanced^ posse fired at Waficer, killing him. and one of his ohitdren; and wounding his wife.
