Virginia military Institute. In 1829 the Legislature of Virginia converted the Arsenal establishment in Lexington into a Military Academy. The old Public Guard at that point was disbanded, and is its stand a school arose, which was a min model of West Point. There was at the time much doubt of the propriety of the change. There seemed to be no demand for military education. The reign of universal peace seemed to have commenced in America. There appeared no prospect of any war but a foreign war, and for that the United States establishment could furnish all the necessary officers. We confess that when we first saw the Institute in operation we though it rather ornamental than useful. But how short-sighted is man! How short-sighted were even the original advocates of the Institute! They did not dream of its future uses. It might furnish engineers, or it might give a better training in the exact sciences that could be had at other schools. But for war? For such

overshadowed the continent, in the cedars of Lebanon overshadowed the earth, almost before we were awards of its existence. Known to the old army as an officer of great and tried ability, his reputation was somewhat damaged by his campaign of 1861, over the mountains. The public never has understood the true history of that campaign, and probably never will until this war shall have terminated. Whatever it may, be, in the absence of the requisite information, we should hesitate long beforre to the fault of an officer who has since proved himself such a consummate master of the art of war. With regard to the campaign of 1862, there cannot be two opinions. It ought, in fact, to be considered his first campaign — for the campaign of 1861 was a mare episode in his military life — and viewed in this light it was certainly, we think, the most brilliant first campaign on record, that of Bonaparte in Italy, in 1796 alone excepted. The accord campaign, notwithstanding the failure a

The public never has understood the true history of that campaign, and probably never will until this war shall have terminated. Whatever it may, be, in the absence of the requisite information, we should hesitate long before we ascribe its partial failure to the fault of an officer who has since proved himself such a consummate master of the art of war.

[from the St Mary's (Md.,) Gazette.] The Date Speech of Mr Harris.--Our readers, being the immediate constituents of Mr Harris, will doubtless expect to read his speech in this issue of our paper, but the annexed communication, we presume, will satisfactorily account for our failure to publish it: Headq'rs cavalry Department,District of St Mary's Leonardtown, Md., April 12, 1864. Sir: The commanding officer of this detachment desires that you will not publish or make any allusion in the St Mary's Gazette to the treasonable and disgraceful speech of the member of Congress from this district, delivered in the House of Representatives on the 9th inst. I am, sir, very respectfully your obedient serv't. F. W. Dickinson 1st Lieut 5th Cavalry, Acting Adj't. To the publisher and proprietor of the St Mary's Gazette, Leonardtown, Md.

It is indeed a pity that a single man of Banke's motley horde ever returned alive to New Orleans, or any other point: Natchitoches May 2d, 1864. My Dear Brother: About six weeks since, I saw Mr M.--, an old College friend of yours, who told me that you were at Wilmington. In the last nineteen months I have written as incredible number of letters to you but have never had the happiness of a reply. With somewhat of the courage of despair I write again. I spent three weeks in the Yankee lines; God forbid that I should over be so unfortunate as to live for another day in their brutal company. Could I tell you of half the dangers to which I have been subjected, but from which a merciful Providence has rescued me, belief would be confounded, and charity refuse to credit that such atrocities could he perpe
