No part of our country can claim
a , greater share of interest than Vir•

are stained alike by the gore of the
loyal and thedisloyal,—heronce thriv
ing, cities, towns and hamlets, are ei
ther-redneed6b ashes, or pillaged by
the stern - neeesSities of rude. war,—
and though desolation, calamity, and
disaster have spread its canopy over
her vast dominion, through her own
rebellious state, without a cause, still
we feel attached to her, for what- she
'has been. The man who retains
spark of antiquarian spirit in his
breast, may yet find charms ler the
head and the heart ;—he may,4Trow_.

and innovation. Her exhausted and
impoverished-fields, now the theatre
of the bloodiest conflict which time
has-ever witnessed, cannot be 11,:rtied
from entirely in disgust. - The mel.
lowed "light of Other days" has
throWn around them a beauty which
defies the ruthless finger of time and
tide. They are the same fields where
her Washington--her Lees—her Mad
ison and her Monroe used to roam in
boyhood's sportive hours. Hence, in
calling to mind, her sons' heroic deeds,
and noble sacrifices, we may well
pause,-for to her race we Can look
back and exclaim, "to, thee we owe
our freedoM, the freedom which you
now endeavor to annihilate'."
.In the year 1857 I journeyed thro'
one of the oldest settled districts Of
Virginia, where I 'Spent my vacation
with Mr. S., then a college mate of
Mine, of Penna. College. He resided
in Covington, the county seat of Nel
son county, a town handsomely loca
ted afi equal distance of seven miles
from the Blue Ridge and the James
River. Having frequently heard and
read of the romantic scenery of the
.Natural Bridge, in Rockbridge coun
ty, near Lexington—beneath which
flows the Cedar Creek,—l expressed
a desire to Mr. S. to take a glance at
it. Having made him familiar with
my views, he kindly furnished me a
fine steed, and soon was lon my way
to my desired destination. The dis•
tame was abdut twenty Miles. The
country was one which in days "ling
whohad her families of noble birth,
botiFited —filiatirstretr-cdata—or
arms; coaches and sex had often roll.
ed over the very road which 1 trav
eled. As I passed:on several miles
on my right was an antique building,
which had been inhabited by a 'fam
ily proud of their name, hospitable
and chivalrous;—its appearance gave
rise to a thousand associations—the
old fashioned glazed bricks, were (as
I was informed) brought all the way'
Irom "Old England,"—but its harp
now .hung mute on its walls; the de
scendants of the family having long
sineeobtained new honors and wealth
in a, land of speculation and greater
enterprize.
It was a scene of this kind, which
put me in a mood of pleasing melan.
choly as I jogged along. I was, how
ever, startled by a faint flash of light-
Ding in the north, followed by a low
rumbling thunder. This told me, that
a storm was not far distant. I quick
ened my gait, for there were yet ten
long miles before me;—the air was
exceedingly close and sultry, and no
one need be reminded of the rapidity
With which a summer's storm arises
in a genial climate. A thick bank of
cloud in the west was seen, which, in
a few moments after, extended over
half the heavens: The lightning be
came brighter,—dark night stretched
its sable mantle of darkness over the
earth, the thunder neared, and a low
steady sound was heard in the dis.
tance like a fall of rain. 1 dashed
ahead at half speed, the darkness at
every moment becoming more and
more appalling;—the flashes of light
ning, which played in lurid figure%
wero painfully bright, and would il
lumine my road for yards before me.
Never have I witnessed anything
more awfully sublime. The rain now
descended in torrents, and nothing
gave me an idea of the road, save,
when it, was enlightened by the N.H.
liant•flash after flash of lightning. I
still proceeded, occasionally seeing
that, I was passing through a gloomy
wood—the gnarled oaks extending
their limbs across my road, forming
a canopy, which increased the terrific
darkness, with only an opening hero
and there through which the red
lightning played with aberning mock
ery of the efforts to oppose her.
Every moment the raging of the
tempest increased till suddenly my
eyes became blinded by an intense
stream of light, followed by a crash
ao terrific, that my horse stopped sud
denly, throWing me on his neck by
it,—champed his bit • and trembled
like an aspen leaf: All my efforts to
make him advance were in vain, He
seemed fixed to the spot by fear.—
Another flash told me the miraculous
escape I had made; a larg e pine not
more than five yards ahea was torn
from its top to the bottom. My horse
still trembled and refused to move.—
It lightened again, and 1
,thought
could distinguish a building about 50
yards from the spot, where I then
was. I joyfully dismounted. Anoth
er gleam showed me that I was in
front of a respectable edifice. What

was, "`They call : me the poor maniac.

the church yard, where could be seen
dark elevations, like tombs. She then
departed to the

strange adventure at the church.—
He listened attentively. After the
table was removed, he took up his
meerschaum, and I to be social, kept
him company with a genuine Havana.
He then gave me the following sine
ple and affecting narrative of the ma
niac's visit. 1 will condensate the
narrative in my own langu.,ge.
Dora was the only daughter (and
motherless) of the last clergyman,
who emigrated to this country of the
church ofEngland's persuasion, short
ly before the revolution. Before the
troubles "broke out" between the col-
Onies and the mother country, he
through- his Christian charity, urban
ity and benevolence, secured the con•
fidence of the community in that vi•
einity. Ho was regarded as a model
of learning and piety. But as the
revolutionary measures advanced,and
became more threatening and sari
guinolent in the shape of a fierce lit
tle conflict at Lexington; he became
known as stern advocate of royalty,
and boasted of his attachment to the
King. He took occasion to condemn
the measures adopted in the Colonial
Assembly, and the irresistible appeals
of Henry's eloquence, in the presence
of his congregation. From the high
est degree of popularity, he suddenly
became the object o. hatred and per
' secution. He was pointed to as the
Tory, the Traitor, mid his property
was regarded the the especial gi t of
all who chose to pillage. He soon be
7cainepenniless,- and not long after the
wreck of his fortunes, he died 'despis
ed and derided. Dora, then yet "t.:e
gayest of the gay," beautiful and :ie.
complished, was left without a rola
tivb and scarcely a friend.
After the cup of bitterness was fill
ed to the brim, she never was seen to
smile, except in her delirious state,
and she gradually became what I then
saw on my adventurous night—a poor
maniac. She then remained in the
family of Mrs.—, who treated her
with kindness. She was represented
as harmless, and when she was miss
ing they sent to the church fur her,
where she was wont to go according
to her own account, to commune with
the: spirit of her father.

During the recent raid of Johnny
Morgan and his gay iskedaddlers' in
Kentucky, several incidents occurred
that are worthy of mention.
In one of the upper counties lived
two neighbors—one Union the other
Secesh. The former had better crops,
finer horses, prettier girls, and more
of them, which seemed to cause a lit
tle jealous feeling to arise in the bo
som of Sesh. it was well known, in
that part of the country, that John
ny Morgan was 'drawing on the
banks,' making 'sight draughts on
blooded horses, raising 'raw recruits,'
and such other demonstrations, as
would stamp his name forever as 'one
o'the b'hoys.' Sesh knew it, and he
was determined to have his neighbor
taken in and cared fur.
One bright, sunny afternoon a - lot
of hard looking 'chivalry,' Lho ad
vance scouts of Morgan's men, came
dashing up the road, when Sesh, with
hat waving high in the air, ran out
and hailed them.
'Any Union men 'bout here?' said
a chap, whose face was as slim as a
shingle and about the color of a
pumpkin.
'Wall, yes,' said Scsh.
'Ar' you one?' said another of the
'solitary horsemen,' whose eyes glar
ed like two burned holes in a blanket.
'Me one ? Nary time! No, Sir•ee!
I'm Sech all over—always have been'
Bully for you,' said the leader, look

about here ?'
'Wall, yes; and I wish you'd take
him up:'
'Show us where'll° is at;' and suit
ing the action to the word, Sesh took
the lead and the chivalry followed.—
They went but a short distance down
the road, when they discovered, in a
field close by, a tall, halo, hearty man,
following his plow, and whistling a
medley of Union airs, while the birds
of the neighboring grove were chant
ing the chorus, and doing their best
to learn Yankee Doodle after his
fashion.
'Re to I' said the leader of the chiv
alry. The Union man stopped his
horses, and, turning around, replied :
'What'll ye have?'
'You come out here--- , we want to
see you,' said anotber.

towards them.
'We have been informed by this
gentleman (pointing to Sesh) that
you are one of Abe Lincoln's wor
shippers.'
'You have, eh ? Well, a Union
man from the ground up. What are
you going to do about it?'
'We're goin' to take you prisoner
and put a guard over you until the
main force comes along, which will
be tonight or early in the morning.'
'Yes,' said Sesh, 'put a strong r
.guard: over him, for he needs close
watching.',
They took the farmer to a school.

when he (Union) would be 'gobbled

the morainr , dawned, they were seat
ed at a table in the solitary prison,
conversing on - different topics, when,
to their surprise,
the shrill notes of a
bugle were hear''. Both arose hur
riedly, and, looking down the road, a
terrible dust was seen ascending.—
'That's Morgan !" said Sesh ; 'what
shall I tell your folks ? Prepare, for

Union gave him a look of defiance,
and turned away from the window.
But further down the road another
terrible storm of dust was seen aris
ing. Union knew what it meant.—
Near and more near they approach
ed. Sesh put his gun down, as he
walked out in the road to bail them.
Union misplaced it, and followed in
the rear. lip they come, in full
flight. Sesh grew excited, and, as
they neared him, cheered them, say-
ing :
'Go it, my Morgan !'
'Hurrah, my Smith P said Union,
waving his hat, and cheering their
pursuers.
'Oh, you bully Morgan !'
'Oh, you wild Smith 1'
'Go it, my bully boy with the glass

'Whoop 'em up, my boys ! 11[-o•o

On went the chivalry in their mad
skedaddle, and Smith close up.
'Bet ten dollars he don't ketch him!'
said Scsh.
'Done !—up with the dough !'
'l'll go and get the money.'
'No you won't—nary time I' said
Union, pointing the gun at the„ head
of Sesh, whose eyes glared, his knees
knocked together, his cars flew back,
and his hair bristled, and who finally
dropped on his knees, begging for
mercy. A smile lit the countenance
of Union when he looked upon the
horrid face of his neighbor, and said:
'Sesh, you're played out—my pris
oner. Come, follow me • and if you
attempt to run, ri blow a hole
through, you that a greyhound could
jump through.
Sesh arose, and, walking as if he
was afraid of the earth sinking under
him, followed Union to the town of
P • , where Lhe latter handed him
over to the proper authorities, say-
Ong:
'Here's a Sesh who took me prisen
er yesterday; just take him in and
have him cared for.'
Sesh, looking at his neighbor im
ploringly, said
'Tell my folks how it is and where
l'am at, won't you V
'Oh, yes. Here's your gun ; you
might have use for it to guard anoth
er of your neighbors. You'd better
take it.'
The guard of the prison said he
would 'sec-Sesh-in,' and, upon exami
nation, the gun was found to have
been empty all the time.
Union went home with a smile
beaming from his happy countenance
and his voice gently floating en the
summer winds, that bore in sweetest
accents through the groves, 'Here's

the Canada - frontier of George N.

A few days ago a man dressed in

over-clean shirt, and a jagged straw
bat completed the costume. The
man had no collar or cravat, and his
face was apparently greatly tanned
by exposure to the weather.
He wanted to go over the river, he
said, but had no pass and did not
know that any would be needed. He
stated that he was an. Englishman
from Cornwall, and a miner by trade.
He had been working for some time
in Pennsylvania, but had lately rc•
ceived a letter from his brother, a far
mer, near London, Canada West, stat

Thanking the toll-keeper for his lib
erality, the miner walked on wearily
across the bridge. As he neared the
Canada side his step became lighter—
just as Christian (pardon the compat
icon) felt, when the burden dropped oft
his back. A decided burden had
dropped off of George IL Sander's
mind—he was safe in-Canada:
AT THE HOTEL-IN CANADA.
Arriving at the Canada side of the
bridge, the miner with his tools and
carpet-bag jumped into the Clifton.

en to that famous hotel. He went
to the desk and registered on the book
the initials S. N. G.—his °Wm initials

The clerk looked at the shabby
working man a moment, and then
coldly said :
'We can't give you a room, sir.'
'Bat I must have room,' said gang
tiers.
'None to spare to-night,' replied
the clerk.
The miner thrust his hands ib his
pocket and drew forth a great roll of
'green backs.'

his Cornish dialect.
There was no place ►iearet' than tho

again insisted on having the room,
and as it was obvious that 'things
were not as they seem,' ho was shown
to a suitable apartment.

and -riishing past the astonished
guest, he demanded to he shown to

Other secessionists also basted
thither. Mr. Sanders was provided
with a suit of clothed at once, the
clerks and servants altered their de
portment to the quondam miner, and
the guests had a rare piece of gossip
to talk about. Sander is by this time
half way across the ocean, and what
ever is thought of him or his cause, it
is generally acknowledged that his
journey from Richmond to Canada is
one of the 'cutest' specimens of rebel
'strategy' the war had produced. It
shows that our blockade is so strin+
gent that a rebel emissary prefers a
long land journey in disguise to at
tempting to break it. -
Of course, the adventure has been
the chief topic of gossip in the Niag
ara hotels; and miners will henceforth
be viewed with a very profound sus
picion in the neighborhood of the
Suspension Bridge.
