Eloquent appeal — the disaster at Newborn, &c., &c. We have received a copy of a speech delivered by Judge John W. Brockenbrough, at the Court- House of Rockbridge county, March 3d, on the state of the country, which is calculated to wake up the spirit of patriotism in all who pursue it. We make an extract from the concluding portion: Young men of Rockbridge let me address you a word of parting counsel.

Many beautiful private dwellings were ransacked and fired by the Yankees, among which was the one in which resided the family of Graham Daves, Private Secretary to the late Governor. It is the intention of Gen. Branch to make a stand at Kinston, where, no doubt, our troops will play havoc among the ranks of the invaders who are brave enough to rout them from the sea shore. Our troops fought bravely in endeavoring to keep the enemy back, but were overpowered by numbers, and it became necessary to fall back. Col. Vance, a brother of G. B. Vance, former member of Congress, and now also a Colonel in the C. S. A., cut his way through the ranks of the enemy with but slight loss. The cry was, "victory or death." From Nashville.

We have already hinted at some prospective developments in connection with the fight at Newbern, but they have been brought to light sooner than we expected. The Raleigh correspondent of the Petersburg Express writes: We had not recovered from the deep mortification of the fall of Roanoke Island, before we are called upon to lament over a more disastrous and disgraceful defeat at Newbern. I say disgraceful, because, if the accounts which have been received here be true, the defences and management of our army about Newbern have been most disgracefully conducted.

With dauntless heart he cheered on his men. They loved him as a father, and eagerly followed wherever he led. Their testimony is that he never said "go on," but always "come on," while ever before them flashed his waving sword. At length they saw with fear and pain that his firm step faltered, t
