Public Sentiment.
Accounts received since cur last paper from various
p,r,s Of lie State of the most cheering description
We hear particularly from Pttsylvana, from Henry,
irow Louisa, from Fluyanna, and the Southwest
Every thing looks bright-The people are rising, the
Why's are at several points distracted; some OF the
Conservatives are opening their eyes to the real
position Of Mr.. Rvcs; and to the effect which ms
course is calculated to produce, in se6ucing them INTO
the RANKS ofthe Wings. The whole country Is becoming
igusted at the mysterious, the insdious, the unnan
l. the nor. commtal course which some OF that clique
axe pursuing so utterly incompatible with the open,
maOIv bold free character of Virginia. The People
are becoming indignant at the false prctcnccs which
hive been practsed upon them. They will not be
tempted by any hollow clamors about the Sub-lrea-
suIy 10 abandon their ancient principles. They Will

w,h the Sub Treasury question. They disdain all
sucn arthccs-and they will not he sednced INTO the
support Of Gen Harrison, and into an utilization with
the Federal Wings. Let our friends be active, and al

The People Of Louisa are rising i. the majesty OF

Eame OF Rvcs is losing its charm over them-and at
