Dr. Junkin, for more than twelve years past the efficient and popular President of Washington College, Lexington, Virginia, has resigned his position since the secession of the State from the Federal Government. We have seen some notices of this resignation which are intended to produce the impression that Dr. Junkin was forcDr. Junkin was forced to vacate his place because he was a Northern man. No one who has any knowledge of his antecedents could doubt his loyalty, heretofore, to the South and to Southern interests; but he is not, and never could be, a Secessionist. And when, prior to the action of the State, the students hoisted the secession flag upon the College bctor declared he would not deliver a lecture be-neath its folds, and immediately resigned. This venerable College has never known greater prosperity than since Dr. Junkin's incumbency. The Trustees accepted his resignation with deep regret, and passed very flattering resolutions on the occasion.--Banner of the Covenant, May 25.

rprisingly large as it was highly gratifying. When the news of the secession of Virginia reached the quiet little town of Lexington, Virginia, nestled among the Blue mountains, some of the students of Washington College at once raised a secession flag on the dome of the college building. (They had done the same thing some days before, but the faculty had unanimously voted that it must be taken down, as Virginia was still in the Union.) The next morning, the president of the college, Rev. Dr. Junkin (the father-in-law of the afterwards famous Stonewall Jackson, but an ardent Union man all through the war), called a meeting of the faculty to ask what they proposed to do about the breach of discipline on the part of the students, as he regarded it, in again raising the flag on the college. Professor White voiced the sentiments of the faculty and of the whole State when he at once said, Virginia has now acted, and the boys are right. I say let the flag wave, and, for myself, I pr

opment of his singular character, as well as to his marvelous success. In 1848 Jackson's command was stationed at Fort Hamilton for two years, then at Fort Meade, in Florida, and from that station he was elected to a chair in the Virginia military institute at Lexington in 1851, which he accepted, and resigning his commission, made Lexington his home ten years, and until he began his remarkable career in the Confederate war. Two years later, 1853, he married Miss Eleanor, daughter of Rev. Dr. Junkin, president of Washington college, but she lived scarcely more than a year. Three years after, July 16, 1857, his second marriage occurred, with Miss Mary Anna, daughter of Rev. Dr. H. R. Morrison, of North Carolina, a distinguished educator, whose other daughters married men who attained eminence in civil and military life, among them being General D. H. Hill, General Rufus Barringer, and Chief Justice A. C. Avery. The only special incident occurring amidst the educational and domes

harz says, nothing could live. The intrepid Martin fell maimed for life. Forty-two of his brave Virginians lay dead around him. And there, in the Bloody Angle, our heroic chief, grasping a captured cannon to turn it on the foe, fell amongst his devoted men, pierced with mortal wounds, and sealing with his heart's blood the high-water mark of the Confederate cause. As they bore him to the rear they met the gallant Hancock hurrying to the front. A different account of this is given in Junkin's Life of Hancock, page 117. I followed Colonel Martin. Each recognized the other. They had been comrades in the old army. And learning who he was, Hancock dismounted, and grasping Armistead's hand, told him with a soldier's sympathy, how sorry he was to see him wounded, and promised to send mementoes and messages to his loved ones in Virginia, and tried to cheer him with the hope that his wounds would not be mortal, as our hero said. But Armistead was right. He knew that death was near

to the moment of the Proclamation, but from that moment, like all men of Virginia, of all parties, who deserve the name of Virginias or of men, it picked up the gauntlet that Lincoln had thrown down, and sent forth one shout from hill and glen, from mountain and valley, "To arms! To arms!" We know the men who have gone from Rockbridge, and if the bodies of our invaders are not as small as their souls, which would render them entirely invisible to the naked eye, we will venture to say that every shot of a Rockbridge rifle brings down the game at any distance, and every cut of a Rockbridge sabre dissolves the union of an abolitionist's head with his carcase. We are glad to observe that there is but one sentiment in Rockbridge. Rev. Dr. Junkin, who resigned the Presidency of Washington College, in consequence of the hoisting of the Confederate flag, and whose resignation was promptly accepted by the Trustees, is a native of Pennsylvania, and has only resided in Virginia a few years.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.the Rev. Dr. Junkin. Lexington, Va., April 22, 1861. We see a paragraph in the Dispatch, dated Lexington, Va., in which notice is taken of the resignation of the Rev. Dr. Junkin as President of Washington College; and, as a somewhat wrong impression is calculated to be made thereby, we beg leave to say simply that it was mainly a question of disc make appeals to individuals and bring forth documents, to prove the firmness with which Dr. Junkin has ever stood by the South. He has suffered personally in the defence of slavery what few mefence of slavery, was one of the most perfect arguments he had ever read on that subject. Dr. Junkin removes his residence at once to Philadelphia — a matter he had determined upon three years agd to make, although the facts in it are stated truly.

] Here, April 23d, 1861. Editor of the Dispatch:--I noticed in your paper, a few days since, a paragraph relative to the resignation on the part of the Rev. Dr. Junkie of his position in Washington College. In the paragraph there were such statements made as would lead one, taking a casual glance, to suppose the old gentleman was not loyal to the interests of the South. Please allow me to do, what many of his friends know ought to be done, give a few words of apology for him. Dr. Junkin has been one of the most valiant defenders of the doctrine of slavery the O. S. Presbyterian Church has produced, and his articles are among the best that have been produced by any pen. The doctrine was one taught by him because he was perfectly convinced of its truth. He fought abolitionism and free-soilism until the popularity of those lams forced him to seek a home among those whose rights he had defended. In his classroom he always criticised Wayland severely and made manifest that t
