SECOND WAR WITH GREAT BRITAIN.

When the war of 1812 came, Virginia was ready. She contributed
liberally of her treasure, and thousands of her sons from her eastern shores
and from her wide western domain enrolled themselves in favor of "Free
Trade and Sailors' Rights," and went to join the land and naval forces of
the nation; and when the vandals of Ross, who laid the Federal capital in
ashes, were ravaging her shores, her citizens rose en masse to repel the ruthless
invader. At Hampton, at Craney Island, at Norfolk, at Fort Meigs,
and along the shores of the Northern lakes, hundreds of her sons fell
upon the battle-field, and other hundreds paid the forfeit of their lives in
a climate which, to them, habit and nature had rendered uncongenial and
fatal.
