Tines in irginia. lis bad been in feeble
health for loma time past, his disease beintf
eiihcr asthma or consumption, or a. comhina
tioa of both. He left for the Spiiog about
to weeks since, tnd as he boye the-jurnej
Tory well, bis frunds hoped that IU talmble
ife would be spired forbears to come to his
family, sod bis country. Bat alas: mese
hopes were destined to disappointment. Got.

knowledge of. the vaat responsibility reatingt
'upon bim in this momentous crii in the af-fiirscf-
his Sute and his country, and by
tSe unremitting and arduous laborskiroposed
upon him in hid posi'ioo of Chief Magistrate

W'arrenton in this State, to join Wise's Le
sion, in Western Virginia. We, however,
were disappointed in the prinoipal objoct of
our "visit to Petersburg, as our fnend's oom-
pany had gone directly through from War
rcnton. . - - -
Our timo, nevertheless, was most agreea
bly spent with such of our friends as had not
left Petersbure for the- wars. In this waii
Petersburg has most amply vindicated her
jUim to the appellation of "the Cockade
of the country,' bestowed on her by Mr
Unison for services rendered during the
last war with Great Britain. Out of a vot-
ng population of 1,800, she bss sent 1,500
men to the war all well equipped and thor
oughly drilled, and has a reserve of threeH
companies one of cavalry, one of infantry,
composed of men of thirty and upwards, and
one of cadets, composed of youths between!)
15 and 21. The cavalry are commanded
by Captain Panoill, the Infantry by Captain
Potts, and the Cadets by the Rev. Wdj. II.
Piatt, who now rejoices in the title of Cap4
tain Piatt," and is said to be a most excel
lent officer. These companies, although
looked upon as Home Guard ,"are ready to
take the field elsewhere in an emergency.
Everything in and about Petersburg savors
of war. ' The mornings are spent in talking
it is believed that the bcaohing operation was
not an exceedingly unpleasant one to the
Captain. The ship lies only 16 miles froml
Norfolk, and the cargo could be very easily
transported to that city in wagons.
