ISM. AFFAIRS AT Wert bile of Ma ThePrlaeaera'-The Appreaching Kxecutlon, tec. OOE OWI Cuaklmtuwr, at night. Rumors hatre cot craned eten yet. The tutmt reacted our quarters atneeeanset this evening, it that the notonona Dr.

Dot, Who was condemned to the penitentiary ta Missouri fur Ave years, (the offence nVgro stealing) and was rescued by Old Brown, is on the way from Kansas with a body of ruffians, to return the tavor, by rescuing his benefactor. The intelligence added that be was to make the attempt to-night; bnt I tun disposed to think he will have sense enough to know when he is well oil, and not ventnre within reach of the ualier, when ho can keep ont of it. Honor tmong thieves may do well enough to talk oft Out of its existence in point of fact, I nave vet-j great doubts. I suspect old Brown would not believe in such a report, were tie to hear it, for he knows the composition of his friend too well to be credulous. Pirates and outlaws of every description live in continual fear of their lives, not so mnch from the law as from their own associates.

That Old Brown is one of thefce is proved by the dearest evidence, the monstrous of the abolition newspapers, lie, therefore, can feel no conlidence in any promise Doy may make. It was ibis rescue of Doy that so warmed up the affections of Hon. Joshua B. Giddiugs. Think oi a Senator, sworn to support the Uunstitatton, entertaining at hie own house a man who had recommended himself to his favor by a notorious infraction of the law! it not prove that the Constitution no longer has any binding force I Surely there can be no union between auy number of Commonwealths where the criminals escaping from justice in one of them is openly protected in anoiher.

bpeaking of Jics the have tolil about Old Brown, 1 am induced to call your attention to a "Life oi Jolin Brown" circulated here, and I believe every whereeiee. In that book the article first published by an abolition paper published somewhere in the West, that Old Brown was maddened by tbe wrongs he had received from pro-slavery men to the point of doing what he did do, is repeated verbatim, and without coiumeut. The Lawrence (Kansas) Herald gave that statement the lie, point blank. It stated that Brown and his sous committed lhe five horritna murders on Pottawatomie Ureek in May, and that his son was uot killed until the succeeding fali. This of tiie arioiitionisis, was a lie out ol tbe whole The same paper said that Brown and conceived the horrible design of intercepting the members of the Lecoiuptcn Convention, one by oue, and murdering them.

Both these assertions are corroborated in iull by a writer in the Charleston Courier, for whose character the editor of the Courier, one of the most fastidious of editors, does not hesitate to vouch. This writer says that he saw Brown's son killed with his own he was killed by a preacher troin Illinois, whose name is that his slayer was an antislavery man. Again, we have the evidence of Mr. whose acter nobody has ever attempted to impeach, tie says thai Brown committed the murders in question forty miles from the frontier, and that they had no connection whatever with Kansas politics. During the time of his detention by Brown, he saw his son come in with property to the amount of eight or ten thousand dollars, the contents of a store which they had plundered.

The inference is, that he was a regular highway robber, and every circumstance connected with his uiode of lonnidabiearmory, his guns, his habit of writing in that inference. Now, however, lawyer Hoyt has discovered that his mother was deranged, that derangement is hereditary in his family, and that, as a necessary consequence, he was deranged, too. Indeed! Was all that fine ''Kansas work" which used so to gladden the hearts of the abolitionists the work of a crazy man Was the battle of Black Jack," lauded heretofore as the result of military combinations only inferior to those conceived by Hannibal or Napoleon, the achievement of "a madman If, however, he was a madman, he was a very dangerous one. Why, then, did not his friends put him in a strai-iht-jacket Whywas he allowed to go up and down the world, violating the law and killing everybody thai attempted to carry it out It is creditable to Old Brown that he rejects this hypothesis with scoru. I am unable to account fat the lies told by the abolition papers with regard to the aifairs of rather, I was until I saw from the New York Herald's extracts, that it was done oil system, as recommended in the abolition book published by a renegade North Carolinian, and endorsed by sixty odd abolition members of Congress.

The Tribune bad a correspondent there, who misrepresented everything, to the disadvantage of the South, and so had all the Northern abolition papers. This was another branch of the same "Kansas ou are aware thatorders have been received from the Governor, directing that no visitors shall call on the prisoners from this time forth. This is a very pood regulation, but it dooms mauv a visitor to a heavy disappointment. It is further reported that a few companies will be at the place of execution, the others being so disposed as to guard the town. Arrangements will certainly be made to keep ott" the crowd as far as possible, and particular caution will be observed against the admission of strangers to any position near the Therearecontradictory rumors about thestate of Brown's mind.

Some say he is penitentothers that he is dejected. A gentleman who had a long conversation with him a few days ago, assures me that he is neither the one nor the other. He still believeu, to lielieve, that he was serving God when he was destroying his image. It ha 3 also been said that Cook was much cast down. The same gentleman says this also is a mistake, and that none of them seem to have any real sense of religion.

The negro, Emperor, is the only one among them who has a old Brown. As for Oook, we found him reading Byron. He is a great admirer, it seems, of the great poet, and probably has had him for a model. He certainly has succeeded in imitating, and even transcending, the vices of his original. I recollect when imitation of Byron was very fashionable among young gentlemen, some of them going so far as to shave their temples, in order to give themselves the semblance of a retreating forehead, while others limped to counterfeit a club foot.

If such gentlemen could only have seen Cook, I think it would have cured them of the Byronics. He is one of the meanest looking men 1 ever saw. He cannot look you in the face, and you would be apt to mistake him for a Yankee pedlar, trying to play the dandy. The most interesting event of the Jay (this day) was the arrival of the Armory They are the lions, just now, to the exclusion even of Old Brown. Along with them came Tom Griffin, having been engaged by some of the military companies te cook for It is rumored that your Ude or Soyer, also about to take up his teiuporitry resilience here, all the troops having gone in it quarters.

We have no Ude, no Zetelle, no Soyer, and no Tom Griffin. Ciuarter-Master Baldwin bas our cooking done for us, and though it we have a plenty. Indeed, and all the men, have such glorious appetites that we enjoy our meals more than we should at the President's table, with appetites less We have buckets full of strong coffee, and you may depend on it, it tastes better than the best Mocha. I still have invitations to dine out every day, but 1 think it wrong to ride a willing horse to death, and have, therefore, determined to take my meals in my quarters, in future. other self-indulgent may think it strange, in the meantime, but ii is nevertheless true, that I have found a straw tied and the fare of our quarters the greatest luxuries I ever came across.

Exercise and the fresh air are worth all the canvas-backed ducks aud stewed terrapins in Ihe world. It Is to exercise that we owe our fine health, aud our keen enjoyment of existence. It went hard with us at first, but we are all of us twice the men we were when we left home. P. A letter from Charlestcrwn, dated the 30th, to the Baltimore American, says: Although oar town Is becoming more crowded every hour, iui the execution ol Browu draws nigh, there Is nothing ol special interest to write about.

The daylsushered in with a loud rtveillt, after which comes breakfast, the posting of the guard at 9 in the morning, and then the pleasures of the morning commence. Yesterday I noticed a party of about a dozen going from house to bouse, treating the fair occupants to some vocal as well as instrumental music. The serenading party belonged to the Young Guard, from Richmond, and their desire to amuse the fair inhabitants of the town is no doubt highly appreciated. I was much amused night before last at an incident occurring to one of our newly-arrived companies. The Mountain Guards, a fine looking body of men.

arrived on Monday and were provided for. They were informed thai uodnty would be required of them that day. but that there would be It drees parade at il o'clock the day following. Great, therefore, was the excitement of our people on hearing (fie sounds of the drum from the Mountain RICHMOND, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2,1869. at three fa the moraine, the hoar when all honeat ueoplejrexoept are anppoaed to be asleep.

Of a at ooeealade ftir the place of alarm, and inquiry pade as. to the meaning ef the heating of the 4ran. The officer in command very informed the crowd that it was for the purpau of a irtr.t par id'! After a good laugh at the expaiue of the company, the crowd retired. A strict watch is now kept at the depot to look after strangers, and see that every one gives a good account of himself. Besides a military company being detailed to visit each train, a special policehas been organized, with John W.

Kennedy as chief, who pass through each car before passengers are allowed to come forth. The Hoft. Mr. Edgerton, member of Congress from, Ohio, also arrived yesterday. In company with three other Republican members of Congress, he reached Harper's Ferry, where they met with Hon.

R. Boteler, who advised the otber three to remain there whilst he accompanied Mr. Edgerton to this town, as Mr. E. was ou a minion from the son of John Brown.

On arriving here, Mr. Boteler took Mr. Edgerton to the headquarters of General Taliaferro, where he stated that he had been reqrested by Jobn Brown, to come here and obtain the body of his father after the execution; AJker consultation with Andrew Hunter, Gen. T. informed him that no decision Wotld be given ajs to the disposition of the body.

Tttr. Edgertdn, having no other business preferred not to stay longer, and, mounting a wagon, which was being sent to Harper's Ferry with arms, under a military bade adieu to Charlestown aad its and will probably not retuity aieeK alwhsgh he was treated with the priTdfcertwere xigited yesterday by iPlif Olilwfiff of the Church, and Messrs. Wangn, Leech and Little, of the M. E. CburclL No interview waR bad Brown, as he refuted to receive them, or hold an interview.

Cook and Coppie thanked Father Costello for his kindness, but informed him that tbey had ministers of iheir own persuasion. They communicated frankly with their spiritual advisers, and seemed earnest iu prayer. It is reported, I know not with what truth, that Brown yesterday informed UoL August that a rescue would certainly have been attempted had not the strong military force been concentrated here. As it is now, however, he says there need be no fear entertained, as no rescue will be now seriously thought of. At the reading of general orders yesterday, thanks were returned 10 the Baltimore City Guards for their generous loan of overcoats to the Norfolk and Portsmouth soldiers, when they passed through your city.

The Baltimore American of yesterday, says: Governor Wise and John W. Garrett, President of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, in correspondence per telegraph up to a late hour on Tuesday evening in relation to the anticipated rescue of Brown, the result of which was that the President and officers of the company are to exercise a proper surveillance over the entire road in reference to the character persons taking passage in the various trains during the nresen week and torefuse to carry any persons who may be suspected of evil intentions. TheGovernorexpressed his confidence in the officers, and no difficulty hereafter is anticipated. Yesterday, just as the Western train was about starting, Mr. Garrett passed through the cars and scrutinized the passengers.

It was not considered necessary to refuse any of them the right to travel. During the afternoon several persons applied for tickets for Charlestown, but the under in tructions, refused to sell them, and it shonlu be understood in tuiaconnection that nnder no circumstances will the company sell tickets for that place until after the execution. Among the passengers who left yesterday for Charlestown was the -wife of John Brown, who was accompanied by a male and female relative. She appeared at depot and showed the ticket agent a letter from Gov. Wise, granting her privilege to proceed to Charlestown and visit her husband.

The letter, besides giving Mrs. Brown and her attendants authority to visit Charlestown, also directs the delivery of the remains of her husband to her care, after the sentence of the law shall have been executed. Dispatches from Charlestown say: The execution of Friday will take place in a large field back of the prison, in the rear of which are the mountains. The arrangements of the hanging are in charge of Major-General Taliaferro, Sheritr Campbell, Mavor Greene and Col. Hunter, but its yet none of them have been disclosed.

A proclamation has been issued forbidding any person to leave his house after dark, under penalty of tejj On the day of execution all communication between Charlestown and Harper's Ferry will be suspended, and no dispatches will be permitted to leave the latter place without first having undergone a strict supervision. All persons are solicited to stay away, on peril of their comfort, if not their life. Brown is reported to have said that he intended to make no speech from the seafl'old, and that the precaution of a circle of prevent his words being heard was He has fkothing, in the way of a confession, to offer. Gov. Wise lias sent orders that no person shall be admitted to the jail until after Brown's execution.

A dispatch to the New York Times says Johu Brown maintains his wonderful equanimity, and is busied with correspondence and reading. No further interviews with him will be allowed. On being importuned for his autograph, he kindly but firmly declined, on the ground that he could not giant the favor and keep his faith with others. Cook is very much shaken. His lip quivers, his hand shakes, and his eyes wander.

He evidently anticipates his death with.preat horror. The other prisoners are much the same. Stephens'face is very much swollen, but his life will last long enough. The negroes say they Are "as comfortable as could be expected." A letter to the Baltimore Sun says Brown has written to his wile requesting her to come on, provided she has fortitude enough to undergo the terrible ordeal. He continues in apparent good spirits, and says he wants no minister to accompany him to the scaffold, nor does he want the mockery of prayers.

Old Brown yesterday sent for Mr. J. F. Blessing, a merchant here, a generous and noble-hearted man, who has been extremely kiud to him, in dressing his wounds and paying other attentions, and requested him to accept as a token of regard his pocket Bible. B.

thanked him for this mark of regard, but suggested the propriety of his keeping it a few days longer. The edition is the cotnmou bibleclass edition, bound iu calf, aud of the cheapest description. The Boston free-soil organ, tains nearly twenty affidavits frurn persons in Ohio, all declaring their opinion that John Brown is either insane or a monomaniac on the subject of slavery. These affidavits were procured by his counsel, Mr. Hoyt, who has laid them before Gov.

Wise. Some of them admit that he went to Kansas armed to the teeth; that he considered it honorable to steal slaves; that he, (Brown,) at one time, declared that, with a hundred men, he conld free Kansas, aud Missouri, too; and conld then march to Washington and turn the President and Cabinet out of doors; that he had no confidence in aid societies, associations, or anything only tiling to be done was to light.

The mother of Wm. A. Choice, under sentence of death at Atlanta, Oeoreia, for the murder of a young man named Webb, while under the intlueuce of liquor, has petitioned the Legislature that her son may be saved from the gallows on the ground that he was subject to frequent flts of aberration of mind. It appears she was prevented from bringing this feet before the jury, at the trial, in consequence of being prostrated by illness. In her petitiou she uses the following words, an appeal that could only come from a mother heart: "The law, which cannot know mercy, baa doomed him to die on the gallows, but I am still his mother, and that tie which nature creates and makes holy is most it is not weakened even by his impending tate.

If any among you be inclined to deem me intrusive, let him remember him remember his own mother, and say whether ought to be silent if a cruel destiny was about to consign you to such a fate." The Senate, after an able debate, passed the bill granting a pardon to the condemned by a vote of 54 to 53. Shocking St. Louis Evening News has a story of a terrible affair which happened in lilinoU, opposite city, on Monday last. A woman, the wife of Robert Qreeuleai; it ia said, left her two little girls aged fonr and eight years respectively, locked up, in the while visiting at Illinoistown, and during her absence the wooden building caught fire and horned to the ground, destroying both children. agereaa Cemrterleit Baak Netee-Aa Kf te salve Hwiadle ef (Banks and It was mentioned yesterday that well execnted ISO and 100 counterfeit notes on the Philadelphia Bank bad been discovered in that city.

It appears that Messrs. rex el A a banking Arm of that city, received frem New York, on Tuesday morning, a remittance of which waa soon after deposited at the Philadelphia Bank, without the least suspicion of anything being wrong. One of their clerks subsequently, on hearing that counter feits on the bank had appeared, proceeded to the institution, and on examination by the officers the whole packagn was found to consist of counterfeits. The party in New York from whom the package received are known, but they, no doubt, were deceived as the counterfeit is so admirably executed. The Ledger says: So well are tbey executed, that tbey have been taken at the counters of several of the city banks, including the institution from which ibe notes purported to be issued.

The imitation of the genuine isuues is the signatures so much like those of the president and cashier, that those gentlemen could scarcely distinguish between the good anu bad. In addition to the remittance received by Messrs. Drexel from New York, Messrs. Work, McOough A bankers, received one, which came from the west; the whole amounting to beveral thousand dollars. Some of the counterfeits received at the banks were deposited by well-known business men, who had obtained them from others without suspicion of their ehagactex.

It was at first eapposed that the notes were printed from genuine plates, surreptitiously obtained, but a close inspection of them showed that they were entire counterfeits. The floo notes are primed in blue, ai.d dated Jan. 1, 1858. Of the genuine notes of this date and denomination, but few are in circulation. The counterfeit 85d are printed, some in black and others in biue, and dated Feb.

Ist, 1859. There never was any genuine $so's issued of that dale, printed in blue. The belief that the counterieits were circulated several days ago in the South is based upon a dispatch received hereby President Robins, from a party in New Orltans, saying that in $100 billsof the Philadelphia Bank were in their hands, and asking ii it was ail rights Mr. Robins, thinking that it was not all right, so telegraphed in reply. It is supposed that the counterfeits have been circulated largely through the South and West.

The usual course of operation in putting counterfeit bills in circulation since theestabii-hment ol the telegraph, we are informed by the brokers, is to in a circuit hundret of miles away from the commercial- centre, thus securing several days of uninterrupted operation before the notes are returned and the fraud is exposed. There is reason to believe that this policy lias been pursued in the present instance. Nearly every bank in our city has more or less of them. The Philadelphia Bank itself has some that it cannot trace, and a much larger amount had been receded, source of wiiicn is known. The loss to the banks of this city will be, probably, by the day's operation in these bills, about OM).

The Philadelphia American says: Through the politeness of the officers of the Philadelphia Bank, we were permitted to examine the spurious notes side by side wiih those that were genuine. With ail our scrutiny, however, we could discern no difference between them, and marveled at the infinitesimal but really observable variations when they were pointed out to us. In the there is no difference, ihe counterfeit being a perfect duplicate of the genuine. The bank has already taken all the steps in its power 10 prevent tnrther Joss, and to stay the progress of the knavery. In future, it will abandon tht plate upon which the flfy dollar bills were printed, while all those now in its cotters will be destroyed.

As to the hundred there are very few in circulation of plate to which the counterfeit corresponds. As for the counterfeiters, tneir narvest is probably gathered, and no further attempts will be made to "push" the They operated at a distance, and have most likely taken good the ample time they have avoid the consequences of ilieir mancevre. When an institution like the and Mechanics' Bank receive ol such funds, without a moment hesitation, and when nearly every bank in Philadelphia parses the notes, it can easily be imagined that the detection of the counterfeiters can be due only to thestrangest mismanagement on their part. The detectives now have the matter in hand. What success attends their investigations remams to be seen.

A probltm nu.re oifficult ox solution is rarely presented to the consideration of a detective, and we confess to very little hope that, for the present, any satisfactory result will be attained. P. the above was written we have learned, through dispatches received in this city, that the spurious money has been simultaneously scatu-red through many cities is the South and West. It is already ascertained that the money was simultaneously issued in New Orleans, Mobile and Memphis. The originators of the lrand appear to have had agents in all these cities, who were instructed by their principals, through the medium of the telegraph, at what time to pass them.

Works of Washington Boston Post, in a recent article on the sale of books, says: Of Washington Irvine's of the "Life ot Washington" and "The Sketch have been sold within the last ten years sets of lj volumes each. Of the "Sketch Book'' 33,000 copies have been distributed, and of the "Washington" 42,000 sots of 5 volumes each, and at prices ranging from S7 to per set. This gives a grand total ol 575,000 volumes disposed of under G. P. Putnam's management since 1810.

Meanwhile, Mr. Irving has received, as a reward of his brain-work, the snug little sum of $75,000 in the past ten years. A curious scrap of secret literary history is the fact that, at the expiration of Irving's contract with Lea Blanchard, in ISII, there occurred a hiatus of five years, Into which no other publishers ventured to leap. Durirg this time the genial author of "Sunnyside" (then in Spain) imagined himself obsolete and forgotten, his works being almost entirely out of the market, and no proposals being made to him for their republication. In 1819, Mr.

G. P. Putnam tendered to Mr. Irving a formal offer to assume the re-issue ot the various works, in uniform and attractive style, which proposition the great writer accepted, without suggesting a single change.of terms; and the immense sales mentioned are the fruits of the contract then entered into. Gov.

Gists Southern Guardian of the 20th, contains the message of his Excellency, Gov.Gist, of South Carolina, addressed to the Legislature of that State. Upon the subjectof Federa: Relations, the Governor says: "The Harper's Ferry is an illastration of the first act in the drama to be performed in a Southern theatre. He admonishes us to put no trust in parties or Presidents, and faithfully warns his fellow-citizens not to commit themselves to any Presidential aspirant. He urges upon the Legislature to take such measures as they deem proper and expedient, to obtain unity and concert of action amoug the Southern States. He despairs of living longer in peace and harmony in the Union, and certainly the events which are now taking place, the tone of public seufinientat the North, and the recent verdict of the people of that section in their late election, is confirmation, strong and positive, of the truth of his convictions.

It is not necessary to add (says the Guardian) that we entirely concur with our Executive in all says under the head of Federal Relations. We hope aud believe that the Legislature, by their action, will manifest that they, too, sufficiently comprehend our dangers, aud proceed to provide the necessary remedies by such precautionary action as they think the exigencies of the require. Centenary of Amkkican The one hundredth anniversary of the introduction ot Methodism into the United States, is ro be appropriately celebrated by that de-. uomiualiou.

The late Local Preachers' Convention, at Baltimore, appointed a committee to consult the (General Conference respecting for its dne observance. 11 is a happy coincidence that the General Conference meets in this grand epochal year. It will be not, tudeed, he centennial General Conierence, but it will be the ceutenary General Conference.

So that Jobnsou and Tyler both morning a tall man, partially bald, aged about fifty-five vears, and calling himself James Wyman, was arraigned before Recorder Starke, to answer the chnrge of swindling, and beinga suspicions character. From what we could learn, the prisoner arrived hereabout ten days since, as says, in search of employment.

Being without means, and knowing no one, he determined to raise the wind, and to that eud drew a draft on a firm in Baltimore, and took it to the Farmers' Bank to get it checked. As W'jinan was an entire stranger, the Back officers held the draft and telegraphed to Baltimore to ascertain if all was right, but receiving an answer that James Wyman was unknown, they did not pay the draft. Wyman then took lodgings at tbe St. Charles Hotel, and soon after borrowed of the clerk, ts change, which he was to return the next On Tuesday evening he handed the clerk a check lor S2O on the Bank of Virginin, telling him to take out the borrowed pnt tbe balance to his credit for On Wednesday the clerk presented the check at the Bank, but was surprised to learn thai Wyman had no money there. Considering himself cheaply sold, the clerk then procured a warrant of arrest, gave it to officer Morris, and requested that the nice old man thuuld be cared for.

That night officer Morris traced Wvman to Read's liote). where he lou ud him in boa, apparently sleeping as quietly as if he were the lord of the place. Ordering him to eet up, the officer took him to the lock-up, where he remained till yesterday morning. On the person of the prisoner was found a number or of them of a suspicious character. One, which we saw, was an unfinished letter, purporting to be written to Mr.

Love, in which he denounces the people of of the negroes ragged and dirty, and declares that most oi the whites are very little better. Coleman's Hotel and the jail each get a fair share of "Wyman has boarded in and the people, he says, need civilizing. Wyman says he was a merchant in Baltimore, at one time, but that he tailed in busiuess and then went to Fraiiktort, he remained until about two years ago. He says tha; he came here expecting to fiuu a jif ii tlrraau named Thompson, with he once acq nam led; but failing to meet hiui was compelled to resort to some means to: making a raise. The Recorder, after hearing one adjourned examination until to-day, and remanded the accused to jail.

Iron announcement made by Mr. London, at the meeting at Mechanics' Institute Hall on "Wednesday night, that the contract for iron pipes for the water workextension hud been given to one of onr own founders, was premature. Mr. L. misunderstood his informant, and therefore the error.

The watering committee are to meet this afternoon to let the contracynid we feel assured that the work will be given to a Richmond man. AVe understand that two or three of our establishments have estimated for the job, and the ot the Council wilt" give It to one of them, though the Northern contractors should underbid them. Under ail the circumstances, our citizens would ra her give up the improvement, at present, than to have to pay the North to make the Council no doubt have similtsr feelings on the subject. Richmond can better afford t. pay to her own people, than fcln.Oou to her enemies: aud if the question were lef' t.

the decision of the voters, we honestly belies that every one of them would say, "encourage home, at whatever cost." County citizens of Henrico county are invited to meet at their Court- House on Monday next, at o'clock, to form a Southern Association, and it is very to the cause that the meeting should be a large and intelligent one. Daniel H. London, and gentlemen are expected lo artdress the meeting, and steps will no doubt be taken to induce ihe people to support only foreign and Southern manufactures, thereby discarding from use every article that comes from Yankee land. By direct trade and encouraging home products, the independence of the South can be guaranteed, but in no other way. It any good is to be effected by the present movement, the first step is, to resolve to rely upon Son-hem manufactures and foreign trade for every want, and until this is done, it is idle to talk of resolutions.

If any excuse is to make Northern goods admissible, until the North shows a determination to do justice to the South, we fear for the result. The Board oj Trad' Wag addressed by D. II London, at Mechanics' Institute Hall, on Wednesday night lae-t, and a large number of ladies, as well as gentlemen, attended thf meeting. Mr. L.

spoke for nearly two hours on the suicidal policy of the-Legislature in taxing exorbitantly tiie mercantile interests of the Commonwealth, and in favor of a direct trade with Europe, giving facts and figures to sustain his arguments, which were overwhelming in their force. He also urged upon "Virginia the importance of educating her children upon herown soil, and denounced the practice of sendii tliem to Yankee sthojl-aud colleges. In the course of his marks the present pilot laws- were carefully dissected, and the most convincing tacts to show that they operated prejudicially to luthern vessels and Southern He was listened to with marked attention.

Whatever thuotber sex may think abont it, the ladies see that time has arrived when Virginians must encouiage their own mechanics and manufacturers, and they have enough patriotism and Stare pride to give up dress aud conveniences, and even comforts if uncessary, to ensure the independence of Virginia, and her safety from Northern aggression.
