The Secession Of Virginia.

We have been prepared for the last few
days to hear, at any time, OF the declara
ton from Virginia of the severance of her
connection with The States of the Union,
and her purpose 10 allay herself with the
new Southern Confederacy. The indica-
tions have nearly all pointed to such re-
suit; and yet we had hoped earnestly hoped.
that State so noble and powerful would
sill further delay an act so full of import,
not only 10 herself but to every other State
North and South-that, by virtue of her
high position, great influence, and tried pa
triotism, she would renew her kindly off,
GERS in behalf of the whole country, and by
everything honorable that can operate on
human conduct, plead again the cause OF
peace.
But we now have the displeasure oiseeing
that il is otherwise The great Stdie of VT-
gina Is agninst usi We no longer lack the
announcement of the passage of a secession
ordinance by the Convention which has
been in session for weeks in Richmcnd.-
The facts in relation to the matter go 10
show that there is no doubt but such an
ordinance was passed as long ago as Tuesday
of last week, It's passage being kept secret,
TO enable the State authorities 10 adopt
without molestation, various military meas
sures, such as the seizure of the Arsenal al
Harpef's Ferry, and the obstruction of the
channel Of Norfolk harbor, TO prevent the
egress of The national vessels now in the
waters of Virginia These are acts of war
and have been entered on doubtless, since
the determination of the Convention. The
Proclamation of Governor Letcher 10 The
people of Virginia, and his reply 10 the re.
quisition of the President for troops, also
support the idea of secession having beer
for sorae days declared, the first bearing
date of the nth, and the other The 10Th
For the want of room we are unable to ap
pend these papers, which we confess ic
have pefused with much regret, for they
destroy almost the last hope of any imme
diate peaceful adjustment.
We have information, since penning tht
above, reported 10 have come from Lieut.
Jones, that the Arsenal at Harper's Ferry
has been deserted and destroyed by FIRE
in order that the Virginians might not us'
il against the authorities of the Genera
Government if they were SO disposed
Jones was commander, who left, taking h
men with him, probably the best thing hi
could do, considering the step Virginia ha
taken. Virginia has the honor of beinl
represented by some wise, shfewd and pa
sriotic men, but we cannot help thinking
that she has taken step she will ere lonl
greatly regret.

Our Country in Peril.

We are in the midst of war one which
we had not expected, and one which the
northern people never encouraged. Ithas
been forced upon us, aud the whole nation
is realizing the terrible results of the trea-
con which has so long been permitted to
quietly consummate its plans unchecked,
and which AT once endeavored. as far as
possible, TO paralyze the friends of the
country, by depriFing them, in "a great-ex
tent, of arms and munitions, and to aid and
strengthen its enemies in their reasonable
schemes by providing them literally with
the weapons of the Federal Government.
But regrets that this difficulty has com
menced are in vain, and aIlusions to the
past are only useful so far as they instruct
and admonish us in regard to the duties of
the presen: and the preparations we should
make for the future. We must at once, re-
cognize The deadly and terrible nature of
the struggle in which we are involved, and
summon up all our energies 10 prosecute it
TO a successful termination. The whole
population must prepare to assist as best
they can, for the time has come when it is
necessary that erery man should do his
whole duty and do itweil.
There can be no doubt oil the evenlsul
triumph OF tie loyal citizens OF this Confed
eracy over those who have so rudely and
wantonly assailed ii, for the patriots of the
land have not only right but might upon
their side. Yet we must not forget that
treason has been quietly. but resoluiely
and actively, preparing for this contest for
many years, while it has been sapping and
undermining our available strength at the
outset of the conflict, and while We have
been treating with contemptuous indiffer-
ence its noisy threats and boisterous dem.
onstrations. We must row compensate,
by superhuman diligence and activity, for
our former neglect and tardiEess. We must
be as resolute and energetic in our action
as we were supine and over trustful in our
repose. We must be as terrible and de-
siruciive in war as we were mild and in
dulgent in peace.

Meeting in The Gonrt Honse.

On Thursday evening last our citizens
met in town meeting to consider the pres
ent condition of our country. A series of
revolutions were passed, responding TO the
proclamation of the President, and resolv-
ing 10 raise a company, fit it out with
means for actual service, and hold it in
readiness, to respond any moment 10 the
call of our Governor who will hand them
over TO the General Government.
Since the meeting company has been
organized, numbering some eighty men, of
which w. w. Rickets, Of Orangevile, has
been elected captain. At present there are
three companies in this county nearly ready
for actual service, and still more forming.
On Monday evening the meeting was re-
called as business meeting, at " hich there
wassin the neishborhood of $500 subscrib.
ed for the purpose Of defraying expenses
incurred in the equippTng of our men as
well as TO go towards maintaining the fami-
lies Of those who enlist. The meeting was
quite spirited and patriotic one. In the
midst of the meeting the Rev J. R. Dimm,
Lutheran Minister at this place, was called
out, and entertained the audience few mo-
ments in a neat and patriotic little speech,
al the close of'which he was vocferously
applauded The thanks of the meeting were

Tribute 10 a Noble Son Of nentour County

Capt. JAMES OAKS son of our fellow -citi-
zen Hon. Samuel Oaks, who has been sta
toned in Texas, for long time, has been
the recipient of the following tribute of
thanks from the Texas State Convention
for his 'noble humanity" and "chivalrous
conduct" on trying occasion. 1t appears
that it was the misfortune of Capt. Oaks TO
be under the command of Gen. Twiggs,
who'to carry out his reasonable designs
against the Government, ordered all the
United States troops TO leave the soil of
Texas, Capt. OAKS among the number We

manding Fort Inge, in Texas, after he had
received the order OF General Twiggs,
! to evacuate that post and march with his
command TO the cost en- route-to leave the
soil of Texas-was informed that party OF
fifteen or twenty Indians had, on the 25th
of February, killed and scalped three citi-
zens OF Texas, (two men and woman)
and that the settlers in the neighboThood
were in great distress and alarm Captain
Oaks, prompted by noble humanity and
the chiyalry of true soldier, ordered Lieut..
Arnold, with Sergeant and fifteen picked
men and horses TO the relief of the settlers,
and TO pursue and chastise the Indians,
therefore,
Resoived, That Captain James Oaks, OF
I'd Cavalry U. S, and late commanding post
at Fort Inge, in Texas, has performed a
most noble and meri,orlous act, as set forth
in the foregoing preamble, and is entitled
TO the hear felt thanks and lasting grati-

opened, and the two sections of our once
united, happy and prosperous country are
now arrayed against each other in a deadly
feud. The forces of the United States, in
rightfu and peaceabe possession of for
tress belonging to the nation, have been
wantonly attacked, its flag shot down and
dishonored, and its property seized by vio-
lence
eOhr readers will bear witness that what
little influence we possessed, has been ear
nestly exerted in favor of an amicable ad-
JUSTIN ent of :he difficulties that have brought
about the sectional strife that has now cul-
minated in actual war, and in advocacy of
such measures of honorable compromise as
would remove all causes of disagreement
and restore peace, friendship and brother
hood to the Union. If it may be thought,
on the one hand, that the party nov at the
head of the Government, has been slow TO
offer compromise broad enough to meet
the emergency, it must be remembered, on
the o.her, that the people whom We sought
to couciiate, have evinced no disposition
10 accept any proposals, however liberal,
bur have, from the first, declared, that the ir
determination 10 renounce and resist The

fixed, final, and irrevocable. They have

The integrity of the Union thus assaied,
its laws resisted, lis authority de6ed, It's flag
insulted, and lis property seized and des-

the Government would be cowardiy and

of every citizen 10 aid and support it, in as
serting and 'vindicating its supremacy in all
things over which the Constitution has made

In such crisis, deeply as we may de-
