The reverse side contains in gold lettering the motto--"Give me Liberty, or give me Death! 115 Regiment V. M." Another is the thirteen stripes, with the coat of arms of Virginia on one side, and the following inscription-- "To the New Creek, Va., Riflemen, from the ladies and citizens, February 1, 1861.

y. Mr. John B. Cary's Military Academy is in a prosperous condition. This school has taken a high stand, and we hope the labors of the enterprising Principal will be abundantly rewarded. Chesapeake Female College has comparatively a small attendance, though the beautiful situation, etc., entitles it to a very large number of scholars. Judge Gregory in a recent case, has decided all the money shall be paid at once by the purchasers of the College, $35,000. It should have been paid January, 1860. The creditors have been waiting a long time, but we suppose not very patiently. Some of the securities have had to pay, or will have to pay, for the College, six or seven hundred dollars each, besides large amounts of stock. Yet, we hear these men have been censured — they do not deserve it.--They have done all that could be expected of them, and have made great personal sacrifices. The concert at the College was not well attended. Some persons from Portsmouth were present; few fro

story. Sketch of Commander Stembel. Commander Roger N. Stembel is a native of Maryland, but is a citizen of Ohio, from which State he was appointed to the navy. He entered the service on the 27th of March, 1832, and has, therefore, served the U. States nearly 30 years. He was promoted to a Lieutenancy on the 26th of October, 1843. Under that commission he was eight years at sea — his total sea service being sixteen years and nine months. He was for nearly eight years on shore and other duty, and was for over five years unemployed. He was last at sea in January, 1860, and at the commencement of 1861 had the charge of the Naval Asylum at Philadelphia. At that time he stood No. 38 on the list of Lieutenants of the navy. The rebellion and other causes made several vacancies in the list above him, and his name stands on the last published list of commanders No. 96, he having been promoted to that rank. He held, in the present contest, the command of the gun-boat Cincinnati.
