l give the Yankees an excuse for charging us with a crime which was in reality only the deed of an irresponsible madman. Our papers ought to reprobate it universally. About one o'clock we reached Barnett, where I used to feel as much at home as in Washington itself, but there was such a crowd, such a rush, such a hurrying to and fro at the quiet little depot, that I could hardly recognize it. The train on our Washington branch was crammed with soldiers; I saw no familiar face except Mr. Edmundson, the conductor. There is so much travel over this route now that three or four trains are run between Washington and Barnett daily, and sometimes double that number. We looked out eagerly for the first glimpse of home, and when the old town clock came into view, a shout of joy went up from us returning wanderers. When we drew up at the depot, amid all the bustle and confusion of an important military post, I could hardly believe that this was the same quiet little village we had left

parative youth for a Presidential candidate, with resistless fascination, to the noble young men of our country; while his silence and patience throughout the canvass, under a perfect tempest of preposterous yet annoying calumnies, had contributed to widen the circle of his admirers and friends. A most wanton and brutal personal assault May 22, 1856. on Senator Sumner, of Massachusetts, by Representative Brooks of South Carolina, abetted by Representatives Keitt, of South Carolina, and Edmundson, of Virginia, doubt-less contributed also to swell the Republican vote of the following Autumn. Mr. Sumner had made an elaborate speech in the Senate on the Kansas question — a speech not without grave faults of conception and of style, but nowise obnoxious to the charge of violating the decencies of debate by unjustifiable personalities. Yet, on the assumption that its author had therein unwarrantably assailed and ridiculed Judge Butler--one of South Carolina's Senators, and a relative

ntil the cane was shivered in pieces, fell forward, bleeding and insensible as a dead man, on the floor now covered with his blood. Do you want the pieces of your cane, Mr. Brooks? said a page of the Senate, picking up the bloody fragments. Only the gold head, replied the assailant, deliberately thrusting it into his coat-pocket. The next time, kill him, Brooks, said Keitt, who stood in the doorway with a pistol. Come, let us go and take a drink. They did so; and Bright, Douglas, Edmundson, leaving the wounded man weltering in blood, immediately followed them. Of the senators present, John J. Crittenden of Kentucky only proffered aid, and condemned the outrage. Mr. Morgan of New York supported the bleeding head of Mr. Sumner, and assisted in removing him to a sofa in the lobby of the Senate-chamber. Mr. Wilson, who was in the room of Mr. Banks at the time of the attack, came immediately to the aid of his colleague, and with others raised him, after his wounds had been dr

adies, some 200 of whom were present; and another at Pleasant Grove, Lunenburg co., on the 18th dec'd A large meeting was held in Roanoke county last week, at which the following incident occurred: Mr. Bass arose and read a call from the volunteer company of Salem for $400 or $500 to presure uniforms, and at the same time proposed that he would give $500 to be divided among the families of those who should fall in battle. This liberal offer was received with three cheers for Bass. Mr. Edmundson proposed to give $50, and, if need be, $100, to aid in raising the amount asked for. Elijah McClanahan, Esq., proposed to be one of ten to raise the money. Dr. J. B. Harding said he would be one of ten to make up $1000 to arm the county. Mr. Madison Pitzer proposed to subscribe $200 for the same object. A subscription was then taken up, and a number of other gentlemen subscribed most liberally. The ladies of Lynchburg have volunteered to do any sewing necessary to equip the troop
