History of Prince Edward County
(Mr. CALHOUN said he would give the gentleman from Virginia another opportunity to rest himself. He repeated his call to order, and the Speaker decided that the motion must be submitted, reduced to writing, and seconded (thus reversing his own, and Dr. Bibb's previous decision). An appeal was taken from this decision, and it was affirmed; ayes 67; noes 42.
Mr. Randolph then said, that under the compulsion of the House, he would submit his motion.
"Resolved, that under existing circumstances, it is in- expedient to resort to war against Great Britain."
The motion was accordingly handed to the chair, and being seconded, Mr. Randolph was proceeding to argue in support of it, when Mr. Calhoun again interrupted him on the ground that a vote must be taken (without debate) "to consider the motion." The Speaker decided that this was not necessary,-and Mr. Randolph, after thanking the Speaker for this decision, was re-commencing his observations, when the objection being repeated, the Speaker said he had given a hasty opinion, and reversed his decision. The vote to con- sider the motion was then put and negatived; ayes 37; noes 72. Which put a period to all further discussion."
The Manifestoe; the main body of which has thus been given; goes on for a full page to cite extracts from various letters and reports in support of the arguments used in the main body of the speech of Mr. Randolph, but are not neces- sary to our purpose here and will be omitted.
The war party succeeded and the war went on with but little glory to the United States, and with little advantage to France.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE STATES
INTRODUCTION
It is extremely unfortunate that even officials. specifically charged with responsibility in the premises, so often betray but little diligence in making and preserving important rec- ords and lists, and that the public are so slow in coming to realize the vast impotrance of such things to future genera- tions.
This disposition is glaringly evident in the lackadaisical manner in which our war records are kept-or, rather, in the way in which they are not kept.
And all this is very evident in relation to the records of the War Between the States. Only such records of the part played by Prince Edward county in that colossal contest are available, as have been rescued from the rapidly disappear- ing mass, and compiled by private citizens. And they are pitiably meagre! Chief amongst those to whom the county owes a real debt of gratitude in this connection, is Captain Sam. W. Paulett, of Farmville.
At the risk of appearing to over-balance the records, we are printing all the materials thus collected, in the sin- cere hope that they may thus be preserved from complete and final disappearance, in which case Prince Edward county would be indeed a serious loser. Hence the peculiar structure of this chapter.
