ery, the Southern Guard, Capt. J. F. Childrey, who, with the soul-stirring accompaniment of marshal music, marched from their drill-room at 4 o'clock, to meet their fellow-citizens. The site selected was a beautiful eminence on the farm of Mr. John D. Warren, Camp Hill, commanding an extensive view of the surrounding country, and associated with many stirring memories as having been the place where the troops were encamped in the last war with great Britain.--A beautiful pole, sixty feet high, to the breeze, as it ascended, its appearance was greeted with loud and enthusiastic cheers.--The band played "Dixie," and the military fired a salute. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, farther proceedings were adjourned to the drill room of the Southern Guard, where the assembly was addressed by Mr. John D. Warren in an able and eloquent speech upon the propriety and necessity for Virginia's immediately resuming her sovereignty and connecting herself with the Southern Confederacy.
