John Letcher.

Poor John Letcher His position in Vir.
ginia is most humiliating one. But three
months ago he was the Governor Of Com
monweath comprising within its limits the
elements of an empire. His position was a
proud one for among the States few Govern.
ors held as proud position as the ruler oi
the Old Dominion. He professed to feel q
devotion to the Union, and attested it in long
letters to Philadelphia barristers. His record
was one which made him respected in the
South. His future as public man was brill
liant A little frmness would have saved
his State of Virginia to the Uuion. and be
could have hoped IOr high honors in the
State.
But the tide of Secession went swelling
against the Blue Ridge, and John Letehel
was carried away. He could not breast the
current, and fondly hoped to lead it. lie be-
came at once the most energetic of Secession
lists, and the most unso-upulous of thieves
He plundered the navy yard at Norfolk
seized Northern property wherever found
and laid violent bands upon q government
arsenal. He issued his procamatons, com.
manding the freemen of the West 70 kneel
under the Davis yoke. He sent his armies
hither and thither wherever they might har-
ass and destroy; and was of all men the
most assiduous in his attempts to overthrow
the Federal power.
This was very well but Is did not last
long. Jefferson Davis and his portable gov
ernment came to Richmond. and assumed
control of affairs. They do not like the Gov,
ernor and they have set him aside. "Gov-
ernor Letchsr is completely overruled," says
a despatch, and even his patriotism is call
ed in question by the rebels" They evil
IDENTIFY remember his loyal professions Of
march, and know the reluctance with which
he Joined their cabal. How true it is:
I" Treason is but trusted like the fox,
Who, ne'er so tame, cherished and lock'd up,
VIII have wild trick of his ancestors"
In the West, Letcher finds more loyal
Virginian welding the guhernatorial aus
thority, and the indications are that Governor
Pierpont will very soon preside in Richmond.
In his own city he is dstrusted by the men
whom he has taken to his confidence, and the
rebels who have used sim now speak Of dis.
carding him as a useless tool. Whatever G ag
floats over Virginia, but one fate remains for
Letcher. Ia the eyes Of Lincoln he is reb-
ell in the eyes OF Davis he is a distrusted
m;nion. His career is over, and he passes
into history record of shame, treacbery,
and disappointed ambition.

Excellent Extract.

The following extract is from sermon of
Rev. P. Combe. 1t is written in the usual
clear and forcible style of the author. The
sarnestness with which Mr.. Combs argues
the sinfulness of the great rebellion, and the
duty If the government to overcome it, is an
other evidence, if more were needed, that
the conservative men of the nation, men
whose conservatism in Church and State
never can be doubted, are among the since
rest supporters Of the government, ia its eff
forts to protest. itself FROM deslraotisn. We
quote single passage:
fhe law must be executed, or the 0av-
ernment toi0 die. We are ia great den rer
from false sympathy on this point. Sym
pathy ceases to be virtue when felt against
the innocent. Mercy is crime when il
shields the impenitent. God never forgivss
the guilty unless they repent. Governments
must initiate his example, and punish those
who persist in disobedienee. There can be
no compromise with treason, therefore, with.
out mourning the divine displeasure, and no
thought of such course should be enter
taiDed by any lover Of his country. Tha
guilty leaders in this rebellion have caused
untold misery to thousands of innocent peo-
pie. Gray-haired men and women are being
sent to their graves destitute and broken.
hearted. Thousands of our best business
men have been robbed and rained Multi.
tudes of Industrious labors have been thrown
out of employment, and their families ara
starving. Wives are being widowed aud
parents left childess in their old age. Eve-
ry death of this kind is murder, and the
loss of property is robbery. Yet we are sx-
horted to have sympathy for the men who
have caused all this evil, who are still at
tempting to destroy the Government to graf
ify their unhely ambition and hatred to free
institutions. Away with such srifing with
truth and justice. Let us think of the star.
wing thousands who will next winter besiegs
our doors for bread, which we will not have
to give them. Let US think of the mothers
who will weep for their sons who fell in bat.
tie by the hands of traitors. Let as think of
these sons and daughters Of sorrow, and IL
we have sympathy TO spare from our own
suferings, let the innocent have it, but let
justice be meeted out to offenders"

, LINES. ON The DEATH OF MATTE BULLOCK
Br MoLL1E MURRAY.

Farewell, dear Matte, long farewell,
Not like the farewell uttered Oft before,
We hoped to see thee oft again, and we'll,
This is the last, till time shall be no more.
We little thought, when We we're with Thea,
And heard the sing and play 20 sweet,
That ere the summer would return,
Thou wouldst be lying in the winding sheet.
But Heaven thus Wild, and Heaven supreme
command,
Thou hast obeyed, and passing quick away,
Hast reaced that happy, that delightful land,
Where night gives place to ever lasting day
I we'll remember all thy looks, thy smile,
Thy buoyant step, thine artess winning grace,
Thy cheerful voice and friendly, pleasant smile,
But now no longer can that smile we trace.
There linger here loved ones, who fee an aching
void,
Which naught but thy companionship can fill,
Whose future hopes in thee are here destroyed
May they submit, for twas Gods holy will.
little while, and those who much did prize
Thy many virtues, now thy loss deplore,
Released from earth, will join them in the skies,
And feel the pang, the parting pang no more.
Farewell dear Matte calm be thy rest,
May flowers around thee shed their sweet per-
fume,
And the green turf lie mouldering on thy breast,
While friends and loved ones weep around thy
tomb.
