I@e t.r4ny have recently taken possession
OF the counties of Hccomac and Northamp-
ton with n large force, estimated n from six
so eight thousand. The isolated location of
these counties, and the impossibility of sun
porting the local volunteers and militia by
aU1ltlOuHl troops, Wklle the enemy held rCS.
session of Maryland and the bay, made them
an easy capture. These counties must be re.
covered, the citizens restored to their habita-
tions, and relieved from the subiugation to
which they have been reduced. The posses
sion OF MARYLAND is indispensable 10 us in the
present condition of affairs on the Eastern
Shore and in the Northwest
Kentucky, Nirginia's oldest daughter, para
lyZed by fratricidal strife, torn by-intes.ipe
connection, is now passing through an or
deal far more trying than has fallen 10 the
lot Of ANY othe" STATE. She will however
pass through it sateiy. The courage and
heroism, the resolution and patriotism, the
will, the energy, and uufaltering spirit of her
young men will bring her safely through this
trial, and place her by the side of the old
mother Commonwealth in the Southern Con
federacy. We have assisted her as far as il
was possible; and we now lock forward with
confidence to the day when the flags Of Vir-
ginia, Kentucky, and the Confederate GOV
ernment, floating together over her soil, VIII
assure her -ople that she is redeemed, re-
generated, and disenthralled.
We have earnestly and hopefully watched
the progress of the revolution in Missouri, the
gem OF the Northwest. Our strongest feelings
have been enlisted III her behalf, because we
fad Nirginians, hare and there, dotted over
her territory. Virginia feels mothers a1fac-
ton for all her children, wherever located,
and she Teioicss with them in theic hours Of
joy, and sympathiz9s with them in their mo-
mentS OF sadness. The brilliant successes
which have crowEed her efforts so far, the
glorious victories which have been won by
her soldiers on fields where the odds were
against them, assure us that her liberty and
indepe ndence will be secured.
introduce, ii ibis connection, an extract
from speech made by Mr.. Lincoln in the
House of Represer tatiYes on the 18th day of
JaGuary, 1913, peculiarly striking, and exactly
suited to the-eXisung condition of the conn
try.
Amy people, any where, being inclined,
and having the power, have 4 right to rise
up and shake off the existing Government,
and form q new one that sUits them better
This is a most valuable, a most sacred right
a right which we hope and believe is 10 libe-
rae the world. Ner is the right confined to
cases in which the whole people of an exist
ing Government may choose to exercise it,
Amy portion sf such people that can, may rev.
OlutiOnize, and make their own Of so much
of the terri tory as they inhabit. More than
this q majority Of amy portion of such peO-
ple may revolutioaizc, putting down q mi
nOrity interminSled with, or near abOu t
them, who may oppose their movements
Such minority was precisely the case OF the
Tories of our own revolution. 1t is 4 quality
Of revolutions not to go by oh LINES, or old
lG1rS but to break up both, and make nelc
ones"
1t would be unreasoE able to expect success
in every engagement, Ill WaT conducted up
on sucn principles rs the enemy have adopt
ed. We have officers in charge Of our tr0ops,
OF tried skill and courage, and of enlarged
experience III ali LliIlLaly IndItSTS. IDGF en-
Joy the confidence OF their men and Of the
country, and they have discharged their du-
ties with fidelity, zeal, and judgment. We
h ave at the head OF the Confederate Govern
ment thoroughly educated military man,
who has served with distinction and success
in the field, who is devOtng all his energies
and tasking his intellect to the uttermost in
deyising plans ana originating measures cal
culated and intended 10 advance the cause,
and to bring the war TO Il speedy and success
ful termination With all til eEe great adydn-
tages, We must yet expect to meet with some
reverses. We must be prepared for them, and
if they come, we must not permit ourselves 10
be Scoura ged. We must 90 bate not lot o.
heart or hope, but bear up and steer right
onward" If driven from the field TO day,
redoubled energies, renewed spirit and cou-
rage, will enable Us 10 regain it tomorrow.
Heed not the cr0akers whose fears and dis
eased irnaginations prompt them always TO
look upon the dark side of every picture
We have men of this class amongst us who
grumble and complain when they eau find Il
listener; but the n um Der OF such is exceed
ingIy limited. Ninety-nine men ont of
every hundred are confident Of success, and
are working with will, Il resolution, and u
determin d purpose 10 achieve southern in
dependence. They intend to es IA biish q Gov
eminent of liberty and law, equality and
justice No men ever struggled in nobler
cause, and we must press forward, therefore
with strong heart and stern resolution, re
posing an abiding confidence in the guar
dianship and protection of that Providence
which has hitherto watched over US, and
given to our arms such signal victories.
The ladies of Virginia and the other States
Of the COnfederacy have manifested the deem
est SolicItude for the success of the cause, and
the strongest interest in all who were en-
gagged i'll the service. They have been unre-
hitting il their efforts to prom ote the com
fort of the soldiers and to administer TO their.
wants. They have exhibited a singIeness OF
purpose, q self sacrificing disposition a zaal
and a thOughtfulness in efforts TO provide for
those in the field, and to relieve the sick and
the wounded. Those delicate attentions
which woman alone knows how to bestoG
are exhibited in our hospitals, and wherever
else objects deserving their attention are to
be found. Welt have they performed their
duties in this struggle, and thousands of
grateful tongues Will chant their praises and
celebrate their virtues.
Whsn our independence shall be tablished
and recognized, as it viii he, what will be its
effect upon the material prosperity of Viz
ginia2 With the bet port in the world our
CONNER idl adYan ages must be great We
may fairly and reas )nably conclude tbat an
extensive, valuable Oreign trade will at once
spring up, which viii give vitality to all the
various interests III cur State. II will stimu-
late manufactures, mining, and agriculture,
greatly augment production, and thus fur
nish profitable and constant employment 10
our population. The boarded capital releas-
ing itself from the restrain is now imposed
upon II, would hnd profitable inves tments in
lands, mineral, and agriculture, III the pur-
suits of mining and manufacturing, and in
all the various branches of mechanic a. indus
try. No State in the Confederacy abounds in
greater natural resources and advant ases
and IN everything she requires to establish
her prosperity in their development Direct
trade with foreign nations will give to us i'm
menSe advantages that we have not hereto
fore enjoyed, am which, under the legislation
OF the United St-tes Government, il was not
possible for us to obtain. Fishing bounties
bounties to steam lines, the protective policy
and indeed all the laws regulating CONNER
cial intercourse in sea going vessels, foreign
and coastwise had a direct tendency TO the
concentration OF commercial power and in
iuence in the North-and such has been the
result. The establishment of our indepen
