We tfraas„rred to our column* a eltort time ago a paragraph from a Rome correspondent of tbe Richmond -aewirer, giving a descrip tion of tbe progress wblcb Mr. Rogers, tbe distinguished sculptor, la making with tan f*> inatningsmtue*. Tbe agereeare all spoken of aaadmirable; tbat of Gen. LRwm.eariec_.lly, excite* great admiration. A sketch of tbe lite of this dUUngaisbed person may aot be with out intereat. lien. An drew Lewis resided oa the Roa noke, in Botetourt county. Hia father was Jour Lewis, a native aad citlsen of Ireland, descended from n liugnenot family, who toob re fuge i n tbat con n vry from France. Hi* ran k was tbat of aa Esquire, aad he inherited a considerable property wblcb be increased by industry and frugality. He married MaaeA _bt Lynn, daughter of the laird of Loch Lyun, wbo was a dsscendant of the chleftaius of a once powerful clan in tbe Scottieh High lands. By this marriage be had four son*, three of them. Thomas. Ahdbbw aud Wil liam, born iv Ireland, and Charles, burn a i lew months after tbe settlement of tbe family j iv Virginia. Tbe settlement of John Lewis j waa a few mile* below the site of tbe town of Staunton, on tbe stream which still bear* his name. Patents are still extant, by which the kiug granted to him a large portion of tbe tair domaiu of Weateru Virginia. It may be doubted whether the annals of any war furnish a parallel to the cool and de*i>e rate courage and sleepless activity on the part of the white*, and tbe fierceness, cunning and barbarity on the part of tbe Indians, -which 1 ill j wed the settlement of the whites in West era Virginia, in this long and bloody strug gle, the four sons of John Lewis, who had himself become stricken in years, were the ac knowledged leaders. Tbe desperate courage aad physical energy of tbe father bad descend ed to each and all of tbat heroic family. Dur ing the whole of the lnd.au war, Charles Lew 19, the youngest son of Joh a, is said never to have spent one month at a time ontof active and arduous service. There are few families among the descendants of tbe border riflemen of Virginia, where his name and deeds are not as familiar as household words. During this war, an attack was made upon the settlement of Fort Lewis, at a time when the whole force was out on active duty. The fort was occupied only by John Lewie, then very old and infirm, his wife, and two young wo men, who were so much alarmed that tbey scarce moved from their seats npon the ground floor of the fort. Joan Lewis, however* opened a port-hole, where be stationed him self, firing at the savages, while Mabga iikt reloaded the guns. In this manner he sustained a siege of six hours, dur ing which he killed upwards of a score of savages, when be was relieved by the appear ance of his party. The havoc wrought by Andrew, Charles and the rest of tbe Lewis family, among the Indians, is amusingly illus trated by an anecdote related in " Howe's His torical Collections of Virginia," to which we are indebted for these facts. The white, or wild clover, is of indigenous growth; the red was introduced by John Lrwis, and it was currently reported by their prophets, nnd be lieved by the Indians generally, that the blood ol tbe red men slain by the Lewises and their followers had dyed tbe trefoil to its sanguine hue. Another anecdote is given by tne same authority, showing iv the succeeding genera tion an example of heroism and self-devotion -which was never surpassed in Roman days. "When the British force under Tarleton drove the Legislature from Charlottesville to Staunton, volunteers were called for to pre vent the passage of the British through the mount—in at Kockflsh Gap. Tbe elder sons of Vm. Lewis (third son of John, who then re sided at the old fort, so signally Illustrated by its gallant defence by his father and mother,) v« ah—at wipi the Northern army. Three sons, bowever, were at home, whose ages were IT, IS and 13 years. Their mother called them to her and bade them fly to tue defence of their native laud. "G■, my children," said she, "I spare not my youngest, my fair-haired boy, the comfort of my declining years. I de vote you all to my country. Keep back the loot of the invader from the soil of Augusta or see my face no more." When this incident was related to Washington, shortly after its occurrence, he enthusiastically exclaimed:— " Leave me but a banner to plant' upon the mountains of Augusta, and I will rally around me tho men who will lift onr bleeding country from the dust, and set her free." Of all the gallant sons of John Lewis, tbe most distinguished was Gen. Andrew Lewis, whose statue is about to be placed on tbe Washington Monument. From a certain na tive reserve of character, he was not, perhaps, as popular as Charles, wbo was aa distin guished for bonhommie as for courage, but he combined the qualities of wisdom, moderation, and sound judgment,with the moat indomitable valor, to aa extent not surpassed by any man of bis day, unless Geu. Washington be an ex cepuoa. Indeed, euch was Washington's own opinion of bis extraordinary military .-kill and personal courage that when Wash ington was commissioned as Commander-in- Chief, he expressed a wish that the appoint ment had been given to Gen. Lewis. In in trepidity of soul Richard of the Lion Heart Was not his superior, and he had a personal presence which indicated the commanding will and energies of the spirit within. " Gen. Lewis, *' says Stuart in his Historical Me moir, " w.is upwards of six feet high, of un common strength and agility, and his form of the bros! exact symmetry. He hnd a stern and invincible countenance, and was of a reserved and distant deportment, which rendered his presence more awful than engaging. He was a commissioner with Dr. Thomas Walkbr, to hold a treaty, on benalf of the Colony of Vir ginia, with the six nations of Indians, together with the commissioners of Pennsylvania, New York, and other Eastern provinces, held at Fort Stanwix, in the province of New York, in tbe year ITOx. It waa then remarked by the Governor of New York, that 'the earth seemed to tremble under him as be walked along.'" In Braddocr's war, Gen. Lewis was in a company in which were all his brothers, the eldest being the captain. Thi* corps, with some other of the Virginia troops, led the ad vance, and were first attacked by tbe enemy. Severed from tbe rest of the army, they cut their way through theenemy to their compan. ions, with the loss of many men. He served as Major at Fori Duqueane, where be acquired the highest reputation for prudence and cour age. It was, however, as commander-in-chief of the Virginia trjop*-, at the battle of Point Pleasant, mat he achieved bis chief reputa tion. The Indian army was composed of war- ! ri-jrs from tbe different nations north of the Ohio, and composed tbe flower of tbe Shawn nee, Delaware, Mingo, Wyandotte nnd Cayuga ! tribes, ted on by the lamous Kbdhawk.b Dela ware chief; BcvroTHi ***, a Mingo; Elisifsi oo, a Shawanee, and aon to Cornstalr ; Ohi yawre, a Wyandotte; and Looaji, a Cayuga; ■nt, at the head *M the whole, CoaasTaLß King of the Northera Confederacy, one of tbe **n„i d-uagulahed chief and eon.ummatc warrior* who ever lived upon thi* continent I Hi* plan of „„ue waa admirable, and it was ' exocntedwith a ferocleaa courage and perse vsrauc* almost unparalleled ia Indian war tor*. Tbe battle lasted from suarUe tilt **,». act, bnt wna at last decided bye briltiaat mili tary manoeuvre of tbe Commaading-General which resulted in driving tbe Indian* aero** tbe Ohio. Tbe chivalrou*Col. Charles Lewis fell at the first onset of the battle, aad abont one-fifth of tbe entire number of Virginia troop* wtu killed aad wounded. •This battle," says Oat Hti-akt la bis historical memoir, ••was, in fact, tbe beginning of tbe revolution ary war, tbat obtained for oar country the liberty and Independence enjoyed by the Uni ted States-end a good preeag* of fotnr* sue eese; for it is welt kaowa tbat the Indians were toflt*eee*d by the British to commence tbe war, to terrify aad eoefoaad tb* peeple, before toey commenced hostilities themselves the following year, at Lexington. II was cite an *•!•*_* war, would preveatacom -nation of tbe Colon*** far opposing par liamentary measure* to tax tbe A_ericans." Among tbe gentlemen of high reputation in private life, who were officers in this memo rable battle, were Gen. Isaac SaTßxnr, the first Governor of Kentucky, and afterward* Secretary of War; Gen. William CanrnßLi., and Col. John Campbbll, beroe* of King* Mountain aad Long Island; General £yam . Shblwy, afterward* a favorite citisen of Ten nee*e*;Col. Wm.Flrriro. an active Governor of Virgin in during the Revolutionary war: Qea. Ardrrw Mooaa, of Eockbridge, after werda U.S. Senator from Virginia; Col. John Stewart, of Greenbrier; Gen. Tatr, of WRshington ; Col. Wa. McKaa, of Llncqjn county, Lentucby; Col. Joan Bterlr, after warda Governor of Mississippi Territory ; Col. CharlbsCambror*, of Bath; Gen. ______L ; Wkll-*, of Ohio, and Gen. Gr<>. Matthews, a tfiaiiuguished ofiicer of the Revolution, Gov veruor of Georgia and U. S. Senator from that State. Gen. _Rwi.s_ommanded the Virginia troops when _ord Dunmore was driven from Gwyun's Island, in 1776, and announced his orders for attackiug the enemy by putting a match to the first gun, an eighteen pounder, himself. He died, in Bedford couuty, in 1730. Such is a brief sketch of the career of one of the most illustrious of Virginia's great men. Mr. Ronbus is said to have entered up on the statue of JLrwis cot* amore, aud to have achieved a brilliant success. Having procuied au admirable photograph of a venerable de scendant of Johh L.RWIB, still living,—Gen. Samuel H. Lewis, of Buckingham, between whom and Gen. Andrew H. Lkwih, there is said to be a striking family resemblance,—the likeness of the Mountain Chieftain will be faithfully preserved in a work of art, which, if all we learn of it be true, will be worthy of its subject, and will plane the name of Rogers in the front rank of the sculptors of America. The Pacific Rnilway-The Public Plun der. That a railway to the Pacific will one day be built, is beyond all doubt, yet, it is a sensi ble relief to the public mind when Congres sional action upon tbe subject is postponed; when we learn, as we do now, that the report of the select committee of the House having been recommitted, the whole matter of tbe Pacific Railway, so far as the Government is concerned, must go over to the uext Congres*. And why is this feeling of relief J It is be cause we know that, for another year at least, a wholesale scheme of public plunder will be deferred ; that a hundred millions of dollars will not, for one year more at least, be ap propriated to the purpose of filling the pock ets of politicians and speculators, and build ing up a railroad corporation which shall rule tbe country with a rod of iron. This feeling of relief, however, is ouly that of respite, not of complete deliverance. The wolves will come back again another winter, more hun gry, more rapacious and more clamorous.— Where the carcass is,t here tbe eagles are gath ered together. So long as tbe United States bas a drop of blood in it, financially, the leeches cannot, and will not, be shaken off*— It is often said—W T hat would our fathers could they rise from the dead and see the growth of this country in wealth and popu lation ? Better ask, what would they say if they could behold the growth of public ras- I cality and corruption ! What would those i pure, noble, immaculate men of '76 say, could they visit the profligate Federal Metropolis, where almost every man has his price * Par son Brownlow says that, on arriving lately in Washington, he felt a strange inclination to steal something coming over bim, and his traveling companions owned up to the same novel sensation. Tbey had all been honest men all their lives, but it was only by fasting and prayer that they were enabled to get out of Washington without committing larceny- It is no slander to say that Congress itself sets au example of laxity of principle, pecu niarily, not alone in tbe positive acts of bribe ry and corruption, which have been proved upon some of its members, hut in increasing its own pay, and appropriating to itself books newspapers and other privileges, unknown to other legislative bodies, and which only au assemblage of persons of easy virtue would countenance. The people have seen all this ; they know the thousand corrupt and profli gate ways in which tbeir money is squander ed ; but they also know that there is no help lor it. No unfortunate traveler, lying on tbe flat of his back at midnight in an old field, and over him a veteran footpad, one hand holding a pistol at his breast, and the other rummaging in his pockets, was ever more perfectly help less and hopeless than the American people- It is only when the robbers quarrel amou/ themselves that Brother Jonathan has the slightest chance of being left with so much as a shirt to his back. We believe iv a Pacific Railroad, but, with a sagacious contemporary, we also believe: "The road ia to be built for tbe country: the country cannot be made by tn«j road. We believe it to be the duty of Uoiicre-a to make liberal ap fropriationa in aid of surveys for new roads to the aoifie; that the army might lie profitably em ployed in constructing such roads; that Mr. Jeffer son Davis' suggestion in favor of enlisting acorpa of young, vigoroua, active uiechai.ica to construct telefc-rapha, multiply military pcßta, and act as po lio* to protect emigrants from depredation*, eituer at the hands of hostile Indhna or raacally whites, ia an excellent one; that the pony express ought to he encouraged (if ever horse deaerved the treat ment given by Caligula to hia famous ateed, the Bony that made the first overland trip waa the identical animal;) that a daily overlaud route should be established, and that every feasible meana ahoula be uaed to les>en the tinia required for communication, overland, between New York and San Pranciaeo. Aaall theae matters progress ateadily,the country will keep on increasing in we tlth and population, and when the time comes for a railway, private enterprise will put down the oapital for the operation, and it will be very *oon ascertained which is the best route. We are op posed to the extension ol railway rule over the country." But, if the road be made by the government, let us hope that it will not he made for the next quarter cf a century. In that time, new actors, a more conscientious race of public servants than the present, may come upon the stage. They canuot well be worse. Large Cargo Sale of French Goods in .Nor folk. We Invite the attention of merchants and other citizens to the advertisement in one of the auction columns, of the cargo of the bark " L Jtie Star," direct from Bordeaux, France which will be sold at theCustom-liouse, Nor folk, at li! o'clock, on the Oth inst. The cargo comprises a rich and rare variety of French liquors, crockery, drugs and chemicals, up holstery, jewelry, cloths, shoes, hats, milli nery, and other elegant productions of French industry. Mercbauts who are in favor of di rect importation to Southern ports, should encourage this beginning of a trade, which it is In their power to make permnnent, between Bordeaux and other French ports and Vir ginia. By reference to other advertisements it will be seen tbat tbe Curtis Peck, on the James River; and the Richmond aud Petersburg Railroad, will carry passenger* down at a convenient time for tbe sale.

"Thy Kingdom come,** was the devout aspiration of the Saviour of man, and bis disciples are daily, hourly, sending up the same petition. Even j the most careless and ungodly man cannot but see and acknowledge tbat, God heareth and answereth prayer. Twenty years ago.who believed that the gates of China would have been thrown open, and that Japan, who had for two centuries trampled under her leet the sacred Scriptures, would vow be asking for and receiving the ministers of the Gospel, and protecting them. Five hundred millions of people arc now accessible to the teachings of the Gospel, who twenty, and even ten years since,had no knowledge of the true God. God hath heard and answered the prayers of his people. All the nations of the earth will be come subject to the teachings of His Holy On Sunday morning special prayer was made for the blessing of the Lord upon the pupils, officers and teachers of the Asylum, for the deaf mutes and the blind, and also for the insane. Tbe exhibition on Friday made a deep impression on tbe minds of all the visi tors.and the prayer,(of that beautifulgirl,Miss C. W. S. Nicholas,) by signs, has been lodged iv many a heart, and now the prayers of hun dreds ascend to the Throne of Grace for Gods blessing upon her and her associates. With all my heart, I say, God bless the Common wealth of Virginia for establishing and sup porting such noble institutions as she has in this place. They are beyond value. If our Legislators would hut come here in a body, as 1 think tbey should, and examine into the management of these institutions.ind see how well they are kept, aud the course of instruc tion pursued, rhe competency of the teachers and the progress made by the pupils, they never wonld hesitate about appropriating money to the utmost degree of liberality for their support. Kob-S:ira, tbe Chinese, said of all the most wonderful things he had seen since his visit to the United States, tbe exhibition of the blind, and the deaf and dumb, was the greatest, and the most astonishing. When he returned be could not make his countrymen believe that the dumb talked and the blind write. The attendance on tbe Convention increased every day, the cars of Saturday added consid erably to the delegation; aud although tbe number does not come up to the expectations of one of your sanguine citizens-, who said there would he I,WKi delegates in attendance, yet the number is larger than indications seemed to promise on the first day. The num ber of delegates is, I believe, between 375 and 400, and besides these, there is a brilliant ai ray of lovely and beautiful ladies, whose silk dresses have swept tbe sidewalks clean as they trailed in the dust over all the thorough fares leading to the churches. On Saturday, the Episcopal Church, one of the most chaste and elegant Gothic edifices that adorns the State, was filled with the civ ili/ers and refiners of man—the sterner sex bad to sit in the outskirts of tbe congregation: but, notwithstanding this, we who were at the doors heard the talented preacher, T.G. Jones, who had the power lo fill the place with his voice, so tbat all could enjoy tbe rich intelkc tual and spiritual feast with which he fed the a hole heart of us who were present. On Sunday, the churches all around were favored with preachers from the Baptist As sociation, as will be seen by the printed list which 1 enclose. The "Bishop Taylor" is not a title of office, but the name of the black man who gave a talk after Key. Mr. Seeley preached to the colored people. There are no orders in the ministry, as you know, in the Baptist Church, which is a pure democracy, where all are equal, and each church inde pendent, selecting, licensing and ordaining their ministers witnout the advice or control or direction of any otherchurch. There is no hierarchy with them, for all are brethren with equal rights and privileges. At 0 o'clock, on Saturday, the Association was called to order by the President: aiier singing and prayer by _lder Hitting, the min utes of yesterday's proceedings were read by the Clerk and approved. The following resolutions were offered, viz: Resolved That the prospects of tjie Southern Baptist Seminary, at Oreenvilie. 3 ti.. enooarage the hope that, under find, it wiil urently advance the interests of our denomination in tne Southern Mates. Resolved. Tint the sum of $—.000 ia not too much to be expected troni the Baptists ot Virrinia, and that the lialnncs of that sum ought to he im nie<!iatf Iv aubscribed. The following Elders addressed the Associa tion, embracing ihe topics of ministerial edu cation, the history of the Greenville Semina ry, and tho success that hi— already attended it: Geo. W. Samson, 1). D., President of Co lumbia College, Washington; Elder O. O. Bit ting, Alexandria; J. P. Boyce, I). I)., President of Greenville Seminary; John A. liroadus, I>. !>.. and Elder Francis, of Wales. From this discussion it was evident that to a considerable extent there prevails a distrust in the minds of the Baptists about the pro- I priety of Theological Seminaries. It is feared by some that these great theological institu tions will iv time usurp power, aud dictate to tbe churches who they shall have for their preachers. This argument was answered by Mr. iiroadus, who said they would do and were doing what was right, lie v. Mr. Broad us, as you know, is oue of the best pulpit orators in the State, aud there was a very general de sire to hear him: oat I am sorry to say that his health is such as to physically unlit him for preaching. He spoke well on Saturday, but not with his usual animation and power. He is Professor of Interpretation of the New Testament and Preparation and Delivery of Sermons, iv Greeuville Seminary. This new Theological Institution has a Faculty ol able men and scholars of great repute in the land. They are. James P. Boyce, I>. D., of S. C; John A. Broadus, L>. .0., of Virginia: Bash Manly, I*.

Hymns were sung to good old tunes, with harmony in them and hundreds of voices in union, praised the Lord with one heart and one mind. How sweet it is to hear such an assembly sing, it is like the heart of God's elect. Prayers were offered by Wm. Crane, of Baltimore, a septer narian, who, in au exhortation, told us of the Baptist for sixty years pa«t; he bad seen tbe fathers, and knew of their real aud good works, aud now he thanked God that iv this day, he had seen tbeir cbildreu assembled in such large numbers in this General Association.— BarnettTavlorof Kappahahuock Association, Samuel Harris and G. W. Harris followed with prayer. At tbe expiration of the half hour, the busi ness of the Association was resumed, tbe President taking the chair, and many in the congregation left to attend service In the Epis copal Church, to hear T. G. Jones preach. The „eportof the State Mlssiou Board was read by H. K. Ellyson, the Secretary of that Board, which showed a prosperous condition of the Missions. The appropriations for the year were limited to *lu.ooo, a sum entirely inadequate to meet the demands for Mission ary labor iv this Commonwealth. Sixty-three Missionaries were appointed to labor during the year, whose fields of labor embraced 64 counties and 31 towns and villages. Their la bor* were abundantly blessed, the Missicn churches strengthened, many new church*s cinstituted, Sunday schools organized, hun dreds of youth gathered into them, aud more than 'JiHKi souls have professed faith iv Christ under their ministry. These Missionaries, during tbe year, preach ed 6,*-0 sermons, baptized 1,202 convert*, aided pastors in meetings in wblcb 9TB persons pro fessed conversion, made 6,tst visits to fami lies for religious instruction nnd prayer, or ganised it* new churches aad l— new Sunday school*, completed oue new house of worship aad are engaged in the erection of 13 others, and distributed (H* Bfbles and Testaments, aio volumes of religious boobs and 5,3*- tract*— Tbe receipt* iuto the treasury, during tbe year, were a!5,137_5, and tbe expenditures were •U.PAl.lb, snowing • aalaaee due tbe Treasurer of R12.03. _ j Tbs 1U3.U00 Baptist* (Wm.

Elder Chaplin gave Interest-** state ments relative to the field of labor in Halifax connty, showing that within two years by the labors of the Missionaries of thi* Board, a church ha* been organised of fla members- Elders Richardson, Ellyson and Huff gave statements, showing gratifying reaulu in each of their respective fields of labor. The report of ihe Board was then adopted, and the Association united in singing a bymn. Elder W. I>. Thomas offered the following. Which was adopted: »,_**■ _i_ Resolved, That the nooeeMtiee of the field under the cultivation of our State Miaaion Board, de mand of us no lea* a aum than that naked for in the Report of the Board, and that therefore we ear nestly recommend the pastors and members nl onr entireties to make diluent efforts to raise, during the year, «—.OOO tor State Missions.

Elder A. Broad us, lrom the Committee on Delegations, reported the attendance of .'175 delegates. Report received and the Commit tee discharged. A Committee to revise and correct the list of minister*, as published in the Minutes of tbe Association, was appointed, consisting of A. F. ATM—, J. A. Davis W. A. Whitescarver, M. Ellyson, Henry K. Ellyson, T. W. Sydnor, Enos Healey and 11. P. Davidson. The Association then adjourned. SATURDAY RIGHT. To-night the house was crowded in every part of it, previous to the commencing of the exercises. Tbe President took the Chair at the usual hour, and after a short pause, for the people to become quiet, ahvmn was sung, and prayer ottered by Elder Cole man, of the Goshen Association. The Asso ciation agreed to suspend the reading of the report of the State Board of Foreign Mis sion?, prepared by B. W. Snead, Esq., the Cor responding Secretary, and take a recess, af fording an opportunity for a meeting of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Southern Baptist Convention. Dr. Jeter presided, and Brother J. B. Wood acted as Secretary. Elder J. B. Taylor, Secretary of tbe Board, read the report, giving a detaiied account of the pro ceedings for tbe past year, and stated that four young brothers had been accepted as Mission aries for Japan, whose ordination would take place in the Baptist Church, at Charlottes ville, on Sunday, the loth inst., of which chnrch three of 'hem -were members. Mr. Cabanis* and tbe Chinese convert will also be there. The report was adopted. Elder W. F. Broaddus delivered an address. After which, Brother Crawford H. Toy, one of the three young Missionaries for Japan, was introduced, who gave an account of the reasons which induced him to devote himself to the Foreign Mission cause, aud why he had chosen Japau as the field of his future labors. AH young ministers, he said, ought to become a missionary to the heathen, unless they could show some good reasons for the contra ry. He gave quite an extended account of the Japanese nation, aud said they would be come a great commercial people, and assimi late their manners and habits to those of the Western nations. llis*remarks were listened to with the undivided aud unflagging atten tion of the audience.
