Hunter in tho Virginia Valley the bronze stuluo of Washington, erected in 1788, the first over cast of the father of his country; wag stolen from Loxington, and in a broken form wus transported to Wheeling. The*tablet was broken in three places. It bore the inscription: "The General Assembly ol tho Commonwealth of Virginia have causod this statue to' bo erected as a monument of affection and gratitude to George Washington, whoj uniting to the endowments of tho hero the virtues of the patriot, and exerting both iu establishing the liborties of his country, lias endeared his name to his fellow-citizens, and given to the world an immortal cxamplo of true glory. Dono in the yeat of Christ, 1788, and in the year of the Commonwealth the 12 th." The Emperor Napoleon, in liis wars against a foreign enemy, received the censure of all historians for enriching France with works of art, taken from palaces and tho cities ho had conquered; but Napoleon never removed a stntuo erected by a grnteftil people to anv of tlinir illimirinna Honrl Thii ?wO <>f fumy is reserved for an American General iu this the nopn time of tho nineteenth century. The State of Virginia had orectcd this statue to her own son, whom she gave to tho Revolution which govo birth to tho Republic. . She hail selected the spot for its ^erection wheru bur Stajo Military Academy was placed, to the end that her sons might* draw inspiratiod from liis? wisdom and patriotism from his virtues. 'J'ho Military Academy was given to the incendiary torch, and wan burned to the g ound?the Htutuo of Washington wae taken from iia pedestal and feloniously carried away, as no doubt would Jiavo been 'bin bone*, Had they been buried there. This was. done by {'no command ofan officer bearing a commission in the service of the Republic Washingtou had formed. Although thd statpo was erected by tho commonwealth that . gavo Washington birth, ana which ho so loved, to perpetuate ber prido in hor noblest son, in whose bosom hia aslios slept, yet she gladly hailed him as the Fatlior of bis .Country, and the people of every State in the Confederacy called him by thut proud title. Tho stealing of tho statue, remarks tho N. Y. ATews,waa an act of vandalism without earthly excuse?it is a thief that nothing can palliate?disgraceful to the age, and doubly so to the country that will suffer such a sacrilege to go unwhipped of justice. It will givo tho author of the thief a namo, and it wiR, in history, associate it with that of Washington, but like that of tho youth who, for the sake of an, infamous immortality fired the Ephesian Teraplo, it is such a fame thut good men would shrink from enjoying. In tho world's history it is without ft parallel, and our hope is that it? may remaio so. SieiBc of Charleston. three hundred and ninety-first day.
