When giving us orders to his regiment

Mansfield, the Commander at Washington,
and told him that would consider it as a
personal affront if he would not allow us
to have the right of the line, which is our
due, as the first volunteer regiment sworn
in tor the war. All that can tell you is
to prepare yourselves for nice little sail,
and at the end of it, skirmish. Go to
your tents, lie down and take your rest till
2 o'clock, when tie boat will arrive, and
we go forward to victory or death. When
We reach the place of destination act as

with kindness until they force you to use
violence. In fact, l want to kill them with
kindness. Go to your tents and do as /

TuE Montgomery papers are indignant
at the removal OF the Confederate capital
TO Richmond. The lfqii goes so far as to
intimate that the President aud Cabinet
are above the soil which bred them; that
they long tor cooler skies and fewer mus
quitoss than accompany an Alabama Au-
gust, and suggests that if there be South
ern men in the Confederate States who
cannot endure hot weather, and who desire
to be more conveniently located to Sarato-
gH and Niagara, they ought to remove per-
manently within the range of the smell of
free uegrOdOm as soon as possible. The
Nail forgets that it was always a Southern
weakness to go North.

An Inportant seizure at 1vashlngton

From the Washington Evening star.l
We hear that among the effects of the
Alexandria Sentinel office, now in the cus-
tody (hut wholly uniojured) of the troops
of the United States, are certain letters of
great Importance, as showing the means
by which tho revolution of Virginia was
nccomplishedi duplicating the writer's and
others in treason and conspiracy against
the United States, TO such an extent as that
if they fall into the hands of the Govern
ment, the law to its extreme extent can
hardly fail to be brought to bear upon
their cases. The letters are believed to
prove, beyond the possibility of denial,
that the adoption of the ordinance of SEE
cession by the Virginia Convention was
the result offraud, usurpation, and terror
ism unsurpassed in the history of civilized
naked and palpable revo-
luton, to the end of entirely sweeping
away at a blow the liberties of the masses
of the State, in order to pltCc in the hands
of the conspirators and their instruments,
for life, the entire machinery of the Gov
ernment of Virginia.

Vote OF the Virginia Pan-Handle

from the RNilrOad and Mining Registerl
At the election held May %, ON the or
dinance of secession, the four Pan-Han,lIe
counties, between the west boundary of
Pennsylvania and the Ohio river, to wit.

1925 votes, OF which 1898 votes were cast
against the ordinance Of secession, and 43l
votes for the ordinance of secession, max
ing the majority for the Union 6,3s7i
These four counties contain, Jointly.
295,l53 acres, or 46l square miles, being
less than the county of Greene in the
southwest corner of this State, and but
little more than half the size of the next
adjoining county of Washington.
Tue Panhandle, however, notwithstand-
ing its circumscribcd area, possesses a
marked geographical Significance. And as
the counties of Northwestern Virginia have
identified themselves with Pennsylvania
and Ohio. in loyalty to the general Govern
ment, their fidelity has endearrd them to
their neighbors, in whom they have allies
and friends.
After the war shall have passed away,
We hope for the sake of Wheeling, the cen
ter OF Virginia loyalty. and for the sake of
interests in this State and Ohio, that rail
line will fill the gap between Wheeling and
Marietta, and that over the Hempfield road
she will have an outlet hitherward.

Gen. Bragg now commands at Peusacola.
1t is composed of the very best class of

from the country, of the highest social pO-
Sitiou and of independent circumstances,
accustomed from boyLood to the use OF
arms, with natural taste for military SER

fOrtitude. The number of this army must
exceed ten thousand, and is made up 10

States have each contributed brigade of
over two thousand men, while Florida has

HThe occupation Of our soil by government
troops is throwing the secession journals
into parOxysm of rage. In their blind
fury they are conjuring up epectres of the
most horrtd description. The general
reader will have been prepared for the ut
trance OF very considerable amounts of
fnlsehood and bombast, sundry rare speci-
mems of which has already appeared in
the columns of this paper. But the Mo-
bile Register of last Saturday out Herods
Herod in this respect. After announcing
the invasion Of Virginia, that journal OBJ
serves.
Servile insurrection is a part of their
programme, but they expect no great
amount of practical good to result there
| from-consequently,i it is cont0nded that IL
lVoUld ben far better course Of policy for the
| AbolitiOniSls to murder the 8laUeS and thus
| erfeTmiRdte SlIpery, A more INDUSTRIOUS pro-
position could not emanate from the most
incarnate fiend among the damned. But
Infamous as it is it finds an advocate in the
abolition press. The slaves ARE to be in
/ discriminatory slaughtered, and when the
last one is hutchered, then it is thought
the institution will gease to exist. The
soul recoils in horror ut the idea of an I'M
scruPulous war upon the innocent and de-
Ecnceless slave. The Syrian massacre OF
the Christians and all the crimes Of its
bloody participants pales before the propo-
scd atrocities Of the ;:Black Republican,
Their masters, however, in this, as all
other Instances, will be their protectors
md Saviors. With this much of1iheir
published programme, we must not be sur
prised ut any act or threat as the campaign
advances.

there Of their own accord, and could go
back with him if they desired to. They
were asked if they desired TO return with
their master. They quickly decided that
they preferred to remain with the soldiers.
The claimant then said if the General
would allow him to take his slaves to
Richmond he would manumit them. Gen.
Butler said be could not make apy such an
arrangement; but the claimantcou go to
Richmond With or without the slaves, and
they could go or stay, just as they pleased,
and If they went the claimant could do as
