et this day to commemorate.
As a young man, when I first saw Mr. Tyler, he was distinguished by the same blandness and courtesy of manners the prepossessing address, and the graceful and captivating elocution, which we have all seen displayed by him in this hall.
These qualities, the sure passport in a Government like ours to popular favor and pu distinction, bore him rapidly through a succession of high public employments.
As soon as he was of age, he was e by his native county of Charles City to the House of Delegates of Virginia.
His first session in that body was, if I mistake not, in the memorable year of -'12, which witnessed the bold messure of the declaration of war made by the U. S. against Great Britain; and the young legislator became, thus, closely identified with that high spirited generation of American statesmen, who, succeeding immediately to the great men of the Revolution — the conscript fathers of the Republic-- continued, for thirty or forty years after them
Hen-Roost robbed.
--Mrs. King, who lives near Fulton Hill, in Henrico, and whose husband is at Manassas, had her hen house broken open last Sunday night by rogues, who stole all her poultry, consisting of turkeys, hens, and guinea fowls.
Constable Thomas, of Henrico, traced the robbery to Moses and Charles, slaves of J. D. Quarles.
On examining the house occupied by the prisoners, he succeeded in finding the turkeys and restored them to their owner, although they were minus their caudal appendages.
The other fowls could not be found, having been sent to market early next morning, no doubt, by the rogues.
While searching for the fowls the Constable came across John Robinson, of Charles City county, a free negro of desperate bad character, who has served two terms in the penitentiary, amounting to fifteen years. He was taken into custody and lodged in jail.
The other boys were brought before Justice Duke, who ordered them each 39 lashes.
better under standing of it to those not familiar with the ground, we deem it proper to group together the main points of the narrative continued from day to day.
The Chickahominy is a stream rather above the slightly of a creek, and not fully up to that of a river, which meanders through the tide-water district of James river, in a line generally parallel to the James, at a mean distance of ten or twelve miles from that river, until it (the Chickahominy) reaches the lower end of Charles City county, when it abruptly turns southwardly and empties into the James.
It is the northern boundary of both Henrico and Charles City.
It is skirted generally by wide low lands, and in some parts considerable swamps.
McClellan army had, a part of it, crossed to the South side of the Chickahominy, and were fortified on the Williamsburg road, and adjacent to it, to within seven miles of Richmond — the point where the battle of Seven Pines occurred.
The enemy was also strongly posted for many
brigade — incidents of the conflict, &c. &c.
There is nothing of exciting interest to report relative to the situation of affairs yesterday, nor has there been any sanguinary engagement between the contending armies since the great conflict of Tuesday last.
A telegraphic dispatch was received at this office yesterday morning from Chester, communicating the important intelligence that a large portion of the army of McClellan was surrounded by our forces at Carter's Mill Pond, in Charles City county, and that our cavalry captured a large lot of wagons and other property at Shirley.
We have information that a portion of our army took up the line of march on Thursday night, with the supposed view of flanking the enemy, and it is by no means improbable that the desired result has been achieved.
It is the opinion of some military men, who have entire confidence in the skill and vigilance of our military commanders, that a decisive blow will be struck before the enemy has an opportu
James City county.
We had an interview with a gentleman who ran the blockade from this county, and reached Richmond yesterday morning.
He states that the enemy are indiscriminately arresting the citizens of James and Charles City counties, and sending them off to Fortress Monroe.
The pickets of McClellan extend from Berkeley entirely across the county of Charles City, and every species of stock is being driven off, without the mention of compensation.

The pickets of McClellan extend from Berkeley entirely across the county of Charles City, and every species of stock is being driven off, without the mention of compensation.
When our informant crossed the Chickahominy on Monday morning, it was reported that the Federal army was gradually advancing.
He reports the force in James City as very small, not exceeding, in his estimation, more than three hundred.
These seem to be there for no other purpose than to arrest and plunder.
