November 6. Jefferson Davis arrived at Wilmington, North-Carolina, from Charleston, South-Carolina, and was received by General Whiting, and welcomed by William A. Wright. Mr. Davis stated that he was proud to be welcomed by so large a concourse of North-Carolinians to the ancient and honored town of Wilmington, upon whose soil he hoped the foot of an invading foe might never fall. He had given Wilmington for her defence one of the best soldiers in the Confederacy--one whom he had seen tried in battle, and who had risen higher as danger accumulated. He felt the full importance of the harbor — the only one still open for trade — and would do all that could be done for its defence. He exhorted all to do their duty, either in the field or in supporting the army and relieving the families of soldiers, and spoke of the honor of the soldier, and the disgrace of the speculator.

his look. So he mounted a chair and exclaimed: The ancients did old Argus prize, Because he had a hundred eyes; But much more praise to him is due Who looks a hundred ways with two. The judge was so nonplussed and surprised by the offender's smartness, as well as audacity, that he let him off without fining him. He was the renowned, but unfortunate, Billy Pope, orator, poet and wit. I have, too, some recollection of the members of the bar of that period. Thomas Gresham and Wm. A. Wright lived in Tappahannock; John Gaines, two Upshaws (Horace and Edwin), and Muscoe Garnett, came from the country; Phil. Branham and Chinn came across the Rappahannock; Richard Baylor from the upper part of the county, and John L. Marye and Carter L. Stevenson from Fredericksburg. Mr. Marye had lived in Tappahannock, where he served in the store of Mr. Robert Weir. Whilst I was at school in Fredericksburg, I became well acquainted with him and Mr. Stevenson, and intimate with their sons.

improvements of the axe, hoe, wedge, and plow, with the simple switch to direct — that these same lights may now be gradually returned by 10,000 annual installments from the present 60,000 liberated Africans in Virginia, and their increase, that they may be planted on the soil of Africa, their native land. This was the object of the old, generally popular, African Colonizing Society, seen afar off by America's mental lights, in the persons of Monroe, Clay, Adams, Webster, Calhoun, Marshall, Wright, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, and many others, including the now living John Tyler — believing, as they did, that freedom and liberty was such a priceless boon, that as soon as many of the African slaves were voluntarily liberated by their kind and generous masters, that they would fly, in the ships of the world, across the Atlantic back to their own native land in Africa, forgetting, or ignoring, the truth, that the inspired Moses had not only to persuade the Hebrews from their 400 years bo
