the rebel leaders in he ''o!d Dominion is ev-
identity troubled about the Union sentiment
in Western Virginia. Hear ii growl:
Tie Northern papers cxult greatly over the
supposed Union sentiment in Virginia, an!
talk bravely about sending an army into our
State to give the Unionsts a chance to main
tain themselves. That there are few Yam
kec settlers in Virginia, who have no love for
the Old Commonwealth and who came into it
10 gain profit and wealth by speculating upon
the easy go' nature o. our people, we do not
doubt. In some Of the border countitS of the
northwest, there is mongrel herd Of Penn
sy!vanians aud Ohoans, who have left their
own States to get a living in Virginia. These
men are not of US, nor with us. they arc Of that

y,3+tor from Mr.. a. +. Stewart.


Learning that Mr.. 4. 7. Stewart,
the merchant prince of New York,
had rendered the L. s. Government
a loan of million of dollars, a dry
goods firm in Memphis, Tenn, Gus
TONERS OF Mr.. Stewart, and his debt
ors to q large amount, addressed him
a letter upon the subject assuring
him that if he had made such an offer,
the Memphis firm would decline to
cancel its indebtedness until the close
of the war Mr. Stewart replied as
follows:
New Y,nK, April 29.
Dear Sir. Your letter requesting
TO know whether or not ] had offered
a million of dollars to the Govern
ment for tie purposes Of the war,
and at tic same time informing me
that neither yourself nor your friends
would pay their debts to the firm as
they matured, has been received.
The intention not to pay seems to
lie universal in the South, aggravated
in your case By the assurance that it
does not arise from inability, but
Y hatevcr may be your determination
or that of others in the South it shall
not change nv course. All l have Of
rosition and wealth, / owe TO the
free institutions Of the United States,
under which. in common with all 9th
crs North and South, protection TO
life. liberty, aud property have been
enioyed in the fullest manner. The
Government. 10 which these blessings
are due, calls upon her citizents to
protect the Capital Of the Union
from threatened assault. and although
the offer to which YOU refer has not
in terms been made by me, l vet dcd-
icate ali I have, and will, if need be,
my life to the service Of my country
for to ti.at country l am bound by
the strongest ties of affection and
duty.
l had hoped thot Tennessee would

The veteran statesman, Ten. CASs, who man

the Cabinet OF Buchanan when he found the

The above figures do not include the amount
returned on the supplemental assessment for
either year, and which will be somewhat larger
this year than it was last. It will be observed
that there is decrease Of property in every
township except Grass Valley and Bridgeport,
although the totals show small increase in
the county. The increase in Grass Valley is
about one-third, but the assessment of that
township was UT 'Nubtedly too low last year.
The figures show very large decrease in Ne
vada township; but in reality, the value is
about the same. Last year, some ditch proper
~, valued at $65, 1000, which belonged in anoth-
er township, was assessed in Nevada, and the
supplemental assessment of this year will ii-
crease the valuation Of the township about
$4,000. By making the proper addition and
subtraction, it will be found that the valuation
is about the same as last year. Had it not
been for the great decrease in the value of
stock, the assessment would have shown an in
crease of nearly half million of dollars over
that Of last year.
ACCOUNTS AUDtTED.-During the late ses-
sion Of the Board of Supervisors, accounts were
audited on the general and special funds, as
follows:

origin of the FIRE was no doubt accidental.

CITY SENATOR'S.

There are good men in nomination as Re-
publican candidates for Senators, whom We
should be glad to sec elected. But our judg-
ment is that their nomination and support is
tending to defeat the election Of any Republi-
cans whatever from the city; whereas, if We
had all cordially united in the Union movement.
We might have chosen two Republicans and q
very much better delegation generally than we
are now likely to secure.
Messrs. Is. +. MAEIERRE and JOHN j.
PHELPS arc Republicans, but they are recog-
nlzed by the community as not mere partsaps,
ia. ia. early and jealous supporters of the Union
movement. and foes Of Legislative jobbing.
As such, they viii receive hundreds Of votes
from men Of signal intelligence and worth who
do not agree with them in politics. Wo regret
that some Republicans oppose them, but their
support seems to us dictated by high consider.
ations Of public duty. Tho Republicans can
elect them if they will; We do not see how
other Republicans are to be chosen in their
districts. And if, as we hear, the friends of
Mr.. w. Smith perempteriy voted down pro-
posal for conference with the friends of Mr..
Manierre, We think they acted unwisely. Let us
try to differ so kindly that we can easily har-
monize hereafter.
