Glorious Prospect OF an Adjustment.
The latest news from Washington is to,
the effect that there is glorious prOspeet
( Of an early and an honorable adjustment of
. the pending difficulties between the two
sections. As gratifying evidence of the
tact, publish the following note addressed
to James Barbour, Esq, the distinguished
aud efficient member of the House Of Del
egates from the county of Culpeper, as
embodied in his address to-h his constitu-
ents, which appeared on yesterday. We
lay it before our readers with pleasure,
aud in full confidence that the s.hope"
therein expressed will be realized within a
very 6yiSf period of time. Here is the
note referred To-: rllf.lg
az s SENATE, January Is, 1861.
Ny DFcr SIr:-Nr. Critteuden is not
present, but I can say with confidence that
there is hope Of adjustment and the prose
pect has never been better than now, since
we first assembled.
Very truly, your friend,
sa S. A. DoCGLAs.
We concur in the opinion that there is
J.J. CRtTrESprS,
A. r. BoTELER,
JOHN I. HARRIS.
Hon. JAMES BARBouR.
In addition to the foregoing testimony
on the subject, We insert an extract of a
letter from the Hon. John S. Millsou to
Mr. Barbour, to the same effect:
"For myself say that ] have never had
so confident an expectation, as hare at
this time, of such Termination of the pre-
sent controversy, as would be satisfactory to
me, and believe to large majority of the
people of Virginia"
Now, here is the opinion of distinguish
ed gentlemen at Washington on the subject
who have been all along earnestly and
zealously laboring to procure an adjust
ment of tho present unfortunate and dnn-
gerous controversy. We may add, also,
that we ourselves have received, within
the past day or TWO, assurance from WASH
ingtOn, which entirely confirm the opinion
expressed by the distinguished gentlemen
above uamed. Indeed, we only assert
what We honestly believe, when we say
that there is scarcely rational doubt that
an carly settlement Of our difficulties will
be reached, which will be perfectly accept
able.tO the great bulk of the people of Vir-
GINA, and of all the Southern States, with
the single exception, perhaps, of South
Carolina.
We undertake here to say that the
statement mad by Hunter, Mason, Pryor
aud company, was made for effect at the
election on Monday, and that there is lit
tie or no foundation for the report, except
the "lriSh that was father to the thought
These gentleman who have so positively
asserted that there is no hope of settle
ment, who never, in any manner, tried to
effect settlement, and have never desir-
ed a settlement, and know not what they
are talking about. Their pronunciamentO,
thereforc,-their hyfllntin ''orders" from
Washington-is all CANNON and hmmbug,
aud should not he allowed to exert par
ticlc of influence on the people of Virgin
Isl. For, is it not abviOus that men, who
have been constantly trying to defeut a
settlement, can see "no hope" of settle
meut2
There is hope Of settlement-a speedy
and honorable settlement-such a settle
mentas will command the hearty and cor
dial approval OF the people of Virginia,
and of all the people of Virginia except the
parse Disunionists and their handful Of
easy dupes. Let the people, then, go to
the polls on Monday next, aud cast their
votes for RATIONAL and conservative
rHen to represent them in the Convention.
Let there be no faltering, but let the genu-
ine patriots of the Gomm0nwea with
out distinction Of party, rise in the might
aud majesty Of their strength on next Mon
day, and all will be WE'LL
