Our Subscription List.

For some months our subscription list has
been increasing in quite an encouraging and sat-
isfactory ratio, though altogether without solic-
itation on the part of the friends of the paper
ourself. This fact assures US that our list. as
large it is at present, could be greatly increas
ed in very short time if the friends of the cause
it advocates would use some efforts to accom-
plish it. There are some persons in every neigh
borhood who should take it who do not, and on
ly need some one to mention the matter to them
to do so. Those who borrow it so regularly, and
read it with so much interest, should, by all
means become, subscribers. They should not
depend upon the kindness of their neighbors for
the privilege of reading it. To those who will
do us the favor to assist in increasing the circu
lation of the ssSpectator," we will feel under
grateful obligations, and will cordially recipro-
cate the kindness thus manifested by them
The greater the number Of our subscribers, the
greater will be the good we will be able to effect
by the advocacy Of patriotic cause. Let all,
then, who approve of the policy advocated by
the sSpectator'' use some effort to increase its
circulation. We do not ask, and do not desire
any to put themselves to much trouble-we only
desire them, when convenient, to suggest to
their friends the propriety of taking some paper
in these times Of great interest, when all should
be kept ssposted.''

The Supposed Result.

From all the indications exhibited up to this
time, we are convinced that Messrs. Baldwin,
Baylor and Stuart have been elected by a very
large majority. This result has not been caused
by any want of popularity on the part of limbo
den and Hartman, the defeated candidates, for
there are scarcely two other persons in the
county who possess more personal popularity
than they do; but it has been caused by the
fact that the people thought they were little
too fast for the present times. Many persons
voted against them with pain, but felt that this
was no time to be influenced by personal par
TALLY. We are satisfied that Messrs. Imboden
and Hartman, whilst they may regret the people
did not agree in sentiment with them, will re
spect them for voting as they believed it was
their duty to do, and will submit with grace to
the verdict of the people.

Congressmen Rehnked.

The Editor of the VALLEY Democrat" in
speaking of the course adopted by the secession
members Of Congress from this State, and the
address they lately issued, says:
"The course pursued by Virginia overseers at
Washington, in attempting to dictate to the PEG.
pie of Virginia, is severely denounced by all
right thinking men. These men oppose all
propositions looking to solution of our difficult
ties, and seem determined to throw every inn
pediment in the way. The insulting manner OF
Senator Mason toward Cameron, of Pennsylva-
MIA, who declared he wa, willing to sacrifice
principle for the safety and peace of the country
shows the position of that Senator and those
who aot with him. The people, therefore,
should treat this manifesto as an arrogant and
impudent assumption OF power on the part of the
servants to dictate to the masters. Their in
competency. as we'll as infdelity, has been too
clearly developed during this whole controversy,
for sensible men to listen to anything coming
from them. They have done nothing to settle
the quesion-have performed no acts to entitle
them to confidence or respect, and their improp
or dctation ought to be scorned by every intel
ligent freemen in the State, especially as this
manifesto was brought forth on the eve of the
action OF the people, and in the face of the fact
of some developments being made which give
promise and hope that all will yet be well. II
was done to embarrass and prevent the commits
sioners sent to Washington by the Legislature,
from doing anything ia the way of settlement,
and in view OF all the facts, is really Conduct
which should not 60 unrebuked by the people.

Meeting In Bath County.

At meeting of portion Of the citizens OF
Bath county, in the neighborhood of the Red
Holes, met at the School House, near New He.
bron Church, on the night of the 23d Of January
1861, for the purpose of giving expression to
their views with regard to the dangers now
threatening this glorious republic and the means
best calculated to meet or avert those dangers.
On motion, A. w. Brown was called to the
Chair, and J. G. Matheny appointed Secretary.
After due explanations in regard to the object OF
the meeting, the following preamble and resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted
We, q portion of the citizens of the aforesaid
county, seeing no remedy in secession for the
aggressions of the North against the South; be-
lieving that the Constitution gives ample secu-
rity to all sections of our country and needs be
obeyed rather than amended, be it therefore
RESOLVED, That in our belief simply declaring
our withdrawal from the General Government
will not stay the hands Of the Black Republican
party in case they wish to Cypress the South and
trample it under foot.
RESOLVED, That we will take the Constitution
as our guide, and maintain our rights in the
Union against the aggressions Of the North or
any other section from whence they may come.
RESOLVED, That we direct our representative
in the coming Convention to do all in his power
to prevent the secession of Virginia.
RESOLVED, That we deem it expedient that the
action of said Convention be referred back to the
people for ratification or rejection.
RESOLVED, That we believe that every State
having passed the ordinance of secession should
speedily re-unite themselves with the general
government and maintain their rights under the
Constitution at all hazards.
RESOLVED, That copy of the proceedings of
this meeting be sent to the Spectator for publ
cation.
On motion the meeting adjourned.

The Charlottesville ssReview.,

We welcome the weekly reception of the Gre
view" with much pleasure, and read it with de-
light and profit. 1t emits no uncertain sound
it speaks in clear and trumpet-tones for the o.
MON, though it is in the midst of community
which swarms with buzzing secessionists. The
articles of the "Review" are characterized BY
such ability, earnestness, frmness, spirit, manli
ness and patriotism, that they cannot fail to
challenge the admiration of all who read them.
The tone and spirit Of the paper show very
clearly that its Editors possess degree of moral
courage which is highly commendable. If all
papers were conducted by men possessing that
rare quality, we would have less demagoglsm,
and more consistency, and more security for
the preservation of our country.

sclewes.
This military expedition Of Palmerston's, carried
out by a coalition with two other European powers
is started during the prorogaton, without the sane
ton, and against the will of the British Para'
men. The first extra Parliamentary war OF Pal
mer,ton's was the Afghan war, softened and Justi-
fled by tie production of forget papers. Another
war of tba. sort was his Persian war of 1875
