not do 20 till l am no more, it may be consider-
ed as issuing from the tomb. where truth alone

Of forty years; who espoused in his youth. and
adhered through his life, to the cause OF its hb-

transactions which will constitute epocbs in its

"The advice nearest to my heart and deepest

States be perpetsated Let the open enemy to
It be regarded as Pandora with her box opened,

VIRGINIA..

retired old gentleman, Who tnkra his coat
oil aud goes into crowd for II fight, throws
away all immunities Of age and dignity. 1t
then becomes a question of muscle, aud rullieS,
queues, and knee5uck!es, 90 for nothing
Eastern Virginia committed precisely this
folly, when she plunged into the fight OF MIR.
Yancey and others. As the mother Of States
and statesmen, she was rich 10 antecedcnts, and
preeminenty respectable. Ii she was as weak
as she was respectable, that was something which
natural selEcomplacency concealed from her
self. and with which the world was restrained
from taunting her, by deeorous respect for
past greatness. The first place still belonged
to her, upon all occasions of parade, down to
that last assemblage of eminent gravities, the
Peace Congress Of last winter.
But the tenure by which Eastern Virginia
enjoyed all this importance, was that oi keep
ing the peace. War was sure to betray her
weakness. But this, obvious TO all bystanders,
was not obvious to Eastern Virgnia, or was
lost sight of in the exultations attending the
capture of Fort Sumter. Tha.- excitement
turned her ancient head. and nothing would
answer but taking part in the fight. And
that part is precisely what should have been
anticipated, the part of being knocked down.
AS mediator, and as propounder OF bases
Of adjustment, Eastern Virginia was in her ma
tive element Of oral and written eloquence, but in
war, she is q fish out Of water, cast high upon
the dry land. As n border State, she was
dignifed neutral, but secession made her
hel pless mark for hard blows. Without money
and credit, with no varied industry, and with
meagre population, she only went out OF the
Union to find herself blockaded and menaced
with invasion, and with her well.kept secret be.
trayed, that she could bring nothing to the
Southern Coufederacy, but territory t. be de.
Tended. "Alas Poor Yorick!"

NOT EXPECTED.

An old and intelligent resident Of Fairfax
county, living some ten miles from this city,
informs us that theooccupation Of Virginia by
United States troops, was wholly unexpected
by the secessionists. The more ignorant and
numerous portion Of them, religiousy believed
that one Virginan was q match for twenty
Yankees, and that wholesome dread Of ami
hilation would keep the United States troops
on this side Of the Potomac. Their better-in.
formed men, while not entertaining such ex.
travagant notions as these, still had vague
confidence in the sanctity Of Virginia soil, and
expected to the last, tha. the pending difficult,
ties would be settled by q compromise and q
peaceabe separation.
The actual march of the national regiments
into Virginia, came upon this secession popu-
laton like clap of thunder. Many are flying,
Of whom large portion are probably conscious
Of having committed outrages upon Union
neighbors likely to be remembered and pun
ished. Those who do not fly, are thoroughly
cowed, and the common remark among them
is, that it is useless to contend with the United
States.
Ii such an entire incredulity as to the pur'
pose Of the Government to assert its authority
in Virginia, prevailed among the secessionists
Of Fairfax county, so near to this capital and
so accessible to information, it is not doubtful
that the same ncredulity was even more posi-
tive and assured in other parts of the State.
All accounts received here, Of the manner in
which the question Of ratiiying the secession
ordinance was discussed before the people
point in the same direction. The argument in
favor Of ratilying it decisvely, was, that an in
vasion would be invited by vote indicating g
Serious division, and that unless there was {
manifestation of such serious division, an inva
sion would be averted.
Down TO the march Of Thursday night across
the Long Bridge, the people Of Virginia wer'
laborng under q total delusion as to the pur
poses of the Government, and of the nation
How they will conduct, now that that delusio1
is dispeled, remains to be seen.

THE ALARMISTS,

We invite attention to AL article copied into
this paper from the Chicago Tribune of last
Friday, embod,ng the information given by a
person arriving in Chicago on Wednesday from
Arkansas and Tennessee. This information is
reliable in its source, and conforms both TO the
intrinsic probabilities, and to all veracious ac.
counts.
Memphis, instead of swarming with troops
assembled to attack Cairo, is trembling with
apprehens.o on lest it may be attacked itself, and
has no means of repelling any attack at all
formidable.
The vast armies in the lower Southern
States, which figure in telegraphc dispatches,
generally turn out upon examination, to be
quite moderate collections of whisky drinking
savages, poorly armed and worse provisioned.
And this observation applies as well to these
armies moving upon railroads, as to those sta.
toned at particular points.
We have already had occasion to notice that
force passing through Knoxville, and tele.
graphed all over the country as amounting to
three thousand men, did not actually exceed
two hundred and fifty.
At another time, IL mere squad of Louisiana
loafers, who had not the courage and numbers
to attack Parson Brownlow's house in Kuox
vile, defended by only three men, was enlarged
by telegrams into magnificent battalion.
