1T will be observed that the Disnuionis,s
OF Virginia, who pirate so much about the
''saered rights of property" when it re-
lates to negroes, forget all about tbs '.gur-
reat pur-rincipIc" when 1t applies to the
property of the Government. They can
talk month about the injustice Of the
Northern people, who won't admit this
sacred right IN the free States, (thOugh
they acknowledge and defend it where it is
recognized by law bu: they never once
mention the violations of this same right
by the thieves aud pluuderers who have
been rObbinE the Government of its pro-
Perty. Is it because property in niggers
is so much more sacred than any other
5iina 4 seems TO us, that what is whole
7ome deesrins for one, is equally so for the
other.

THE Richmond Enquirer is troubled not
a little about what it is pleased to term
"prOscriptiOu of yirgiuiaus in Offices 10.
Gated in Virginia" Now we are not
aware of any such prescription. We have
not heard of single appointment in the
State of any man who was not a citizen of
the CommOnwealth-as thoroughly Viz
ginian as "the gentleman who furnishes
the wholesome truths for the columns of
the Enquirer" himself. Prescription of
officers in Virginia, we take it, would be
turning them out aud bringing in their
successors from other States. We haven't
heard of this being done, and guess it will
not be. There is no need of it. There
ARE plenty of Union men IN virginia-Bell
aud Everett men, Douglas men, and Repub-
licans, to hold all the offices in the State !;
and Nc guess maybe they will be called
upon to do it. ''ProscriptiOu,' according
to the Enqurer's dictionary, means turning
ont corrupt men and putting in honest
ones. We would suggest reference to
webster's unabridged. Rotation is the
word, Mr.. Enquirer. lease DO little
more exact in your language.

SEr. BRucE, of Halifax, in speech in
the Convention the other day said, by
way of patronizing the Northwest;
Mr.. Chairman, to the West would say,
that they have a town there now largely
engaged in manufactnres-the town of
Wheeling. say TO them that when Yir-
ginia resumes her sovereignty, and when
she goes, as she will go in that event, with
the Southern Confederacy, Wheeling is to
become the Manchester Of Virginia.
Guess not, Mr.. Bruce; for you see in case
Virginia does "resume," why ain that
event." Wheeling win not go with the
Southern Confederacy. Ohio and Penn
sylYnnia you know wouldn't let her do it,
and it they could be persuaded to agree to
it, the remainder of the West wouldn't
allow us to go off and leave them. Even
if they were both willing, Wheeling
wouldn't go, because-well, the fact is,
she couldn't stand it, to be the Manchester
of the Southern COnfederacy,

THE Wellsburg Herald, discussing the Sc
cret circular, now going the rounds in the
Eastern part of the State, and which we
published few mornings ago with COM
ments, says:
We can hardly imagine that tho disun-
ionists, desperate and reckless MS they. are,
wOnld venture upon n coup d etGE, as is
surmised with the o6jebt of subverting
the State government and setting up a pro.
visional government similar 10 JEFF Davis's,
but the secret call for;irue and reliable men,
to concentrate Mt Richmond, ON certain
day, at the instance of such parties as
those whose names are appended to the
call, is sufficient to excite inquiry, if not
alarm. ~. @
Tho Secessionists are meditating mis-
chief. They are bound to accomplish it,
peaceably if they can, forcibly if they
must. Penceahly they can hardly hope to
succeed, and the alternative, is forcibly by
arms and coercion.
This is the idea, we had in view a few
weeks ago, when urging upon the people of
the West, the necessity for some military
/ preparations for self-defence; or what is
the same thing, resistance to unlawful and
| revolutionary proceedings at the hands of
those who are determined to drag Virginia
out of the. Union.
The secret session of the Senate, the
resolution adopted by the Legislature, the
secret circular referred to above, are only
so many more additional evidences that
there was some foundation for our surmise
aud some ProprieLy for our warning. We
repeat the caution.

The telegraphic dispatches from New
Orleans, say that n letter from Sherrard
Clemens to that city says that Virginia is
certain to secedc on the re-assembling Of
the Convention. We don't know just
what is meant by the "rcassembling of the
UOnveuttOu,p hut hope the conclusion is an
erroneous one. An extract Ito be found in
another column from letter of Forney's

tbs Utica IN. W Herald is severe on
Texas. 1t says, speaking of her fngrntt-
tude-
Look at her history. We found her
naked and penniless outcast, whining at
our door We knew her character was
bad; that she had been brought to want by
evil courses; that she was rotting with
disease and debauched in morals. Yet
we took pity on her, opened the door and
let her in; washed and clothed her; intro
dnced her into decent society; and tried
our best to make her n respectable mem
ner of community. For fifteen years we
Iabored faithfully to instil good morals
into this frail sister. We squandered mil
lions to protect her against her enemies
We kept an army upon her frontiers to
fight the savage hordes that menaced her
safety. We incurred nu expensive and
bloody war as the penalty of adopting her.
After all this pains and expense-after
all this waste of blood and treasure-aud
after all this patient nursing, this culture
and schOoling-the migrate turns upon us
and repays our benefactiOns by slapping
us in the face! After making her ali that
she is, and impoverishing ourselves to
maintain her in position of respectable
ity, the impudent jnde pockets our spoons,
abstracts our plate, robs our money chest,
commits nuisances on our premises, and
slips out of the house like common thief.

IT must be apparent to all who read the
secession sheets al Richmond and else
where thutthey are conducted with a per-
fectly reckless disregard of truth or ordi-
nary decency. The Dispateh, in little arr
ticle on the movements in Texas, illus
trates this remark in a forcible manner It
says:
If it be true that Ampudia, at the head
of Mexican force of three thousand men,
has invaded Texas, the coincidence ofthat
movement with the departure of the U. s.
troops from Texas, must ut once suggest
the idea of mutual understanding be-
tween the Lincoln administration and the
Mexican General. Ampudia must have
heen particularly well posted US to the
time when the L. S. troops would leave, TO
be enabled to invade Texas Immediately
lafter their removal. All this would be in
keeping with the subtle, Stalking and vim
dictive character and policy of our Black
Republican government, which, fearing to
venture upon an open collision between
tie United States soldiers aud the people
of Texas, has IN all probability instigated
these foreign invaders to spill the blood Of
our countEymcn.
Could anything be more calnmnious
than such charge: The u S troops in
Texas were desPoiled by the traitors of
their arms aud stores, and forced to leave
the State, their commander having 6etray-
ed them, and now, with unparalleled har-
dibood it is charged that the movement
grew out of an understanding between the
Administration and the guerilla Mexicans,
who arc takingadvantage of the jnncture
to overrun Texas. The utter shameless
ness Of the insinuation is equalIed only by
the insignilicance Off source.
