VIRGINIA..

Virginia has plucked down vengeance upon her
own head. Had she yielded to the loyal coun-
sells of Caldwell and Garlic, Of the Western
counties, and been true to the Union. or even
followed the more timid advice of Bolts and
Summers, and occupied neutral ground, tho
storm of war would have passed her by. Bus
she has thrown herself under the lead of Pryor.
Garnett. and other young hotspurs, who, drag
ging the more cowardy and discreet Hunters
and Letchers in their train, are precipitating
her into the gulf of perditiOn. Melody pitles
her. She passed her Secession Ordnance III
midnight conclave, keeping IT a secret from the
world, so that the traitors might steal the Fed
eral arms, ships and munitions Of war; at Nor
folk and Harper's Ferry. She has compelled her
people 10 60 through the solemn farce of ratiiy-
ing her rebellion at the polls, by voting for the
ordinance at the bayOnet's point. She now pro-
poses TO hunt out the friends of the Urion In
the Eastern counties, and compel them TO battie
against their old hag, OF flee from the State, or
be decimated by the sword And at Alexandra,
she has Just crowned her inlamy BY numbering
Il brave officer for pulling down rebel nag
which floated in fun sight Of the National Cap
itOl. Long the nursing mother OF Treason, but
without the courage 10 act openly and strike
boldly like her rebel sisters on the Gull, this
cowardly old bypocritc is about to receive Just
retribution for her crimes. as the elder Ma
poleon said Of Prussia on the eve of the battle
of Jena, " Her Destiny is determined; let 1T be

West, sent down 70 bring away part OF them
under this arrangement, was treacherousy
seized, aud the troops just ready to embark in
her surprised and compelled to surrender. And,
in order to induce the entrapped soldiers to de-
sert their colors, Maj. Sprague states that these
lies were circulated among them in the freshest
Ncw-0rleans papers:
"Presdent Lincoln fed from Washington; Gen.
Scott resigned ard joined the Confederate States;
Tennessee Kentucky, Mary land, and Virginia our of
the Union; The Seventh New-YoFk Regiment cut up

Thousand men fro,u tie South suronndii Washngt m,
and tie women and Children notified TO leave; Cos
port Nayy-Yard taken by Virginia after sharp con-

Even thus deceived dismayed and con-
founded, very few of tho rank and file could be
bribed or bullied into desertiDg the good old flag;
the traitor officers were left nearly alone in their
shame, But thus has Texas recompensed to the
Union the burdens and sacrifices she has i'm
posed on it.

patriotic indignationl Shall they not nerve

now. No less striking were the alterations
among the Tories Thus human nature in all
ages preserves its characteristics.
Tne tlmidity of some Wings in those days, aud
the detection of others, should be looked upon
with leDient eyes, They were fehhug to over
throw an odous Government for causes which
the civilized world has long since acknowledge
TO be just. Yet that Government was one of
fearful strength. Failure upon their part would
base made them homeless fugitiyes, hence the
fear OF it was constantly before them. Success
would elevate them to the status of nation in
sure them peace, plenty, and liberty, and chal-
lenge the admiration of the world Not so the
foul rebellion now seeking to overthrow the
benefcent Government they established. Its
leaders have turned traitors for greed, not for
glory not to establish Liberty but to perpetuate
Slavery. At the outset of their career they are
confronted by the execratiDDs of all Europe. The
Wbils of the Revolution stole nothng-these do
nothing else but steal They look for the reward
of treason in the certainty of success. But their
very beginnings SO shock the moral and religious
sentiment Of the age, that success will be as fatal
to them as failure. Terminate as the contest
may, their utter ruin is among the certainties OF
the future. Their infatuation appears to be as
complete as it is hopeless. Nothing short of the
terrible baptism OF blood can remove It. For the
treaclefy or cOwardice Of our fathers there is
much 10 be pleaded in extenuation; but for the
treason Of this coniederacy of ruiilans, the world
has already decided there is nothing.
The detection among our army officers ought
TO occasion the country neither sorrow nor alarm.
1t is we'll toey went of early. 1t purged the
service, at the right moment, Of mea whose later
infdeIity might have done incacuiable harm, and
hence is rather cause Tor rejoicing. We now
understand who are true. Neither should we
fear that there will be none as wOrthlly to hll
their places This contest VIII yet surprise the
country by The multitude Of competent and
heroic officers, who have thus far lacked nothing
but opportunity for proving themselves such.
CAPTAIN LYONS capture Of the Missouri rebels
and their eDcampment is case in point. Ihe
country never heard of this Connecticut hero
until then. Captain Cole has done admirable
duty in dispensing other bands of MI'sourians.
Both these officers viii be heard OF again.
General Butler has already established brilliant
reputation, yet he had never been in the field
until he broke up the rebellion Mt Annapolis, aud
restored order at Baltimore. The raw material
now under arms is quite seryceable az the petted
hordes Of epauletted traitors who have been quar-
tered on the Government from the South. In
add ton to these unnamed heroes, whose future
gllautry will vet electriIy the nation, there are
scores Of oficer, at the head Of companies and
divisions who have seen a. much service as the
rebel chief himself. We have no more cause 10
fear lack Of able officers than of gallant
soldiers.

We print this morning the presentnent OF the
Grand Jury against Andrew j. Hackley, made
yesterday in the Court of General Sessions. 1t
recites the wel-known facts in regard TO the
$4,000 paid for awarding the street cleaning
contract, and the illegal and hurried manner in
which the contract was passed by the Common
Council. 1t shows, also, that the contract has
never been complied with, but that Its Painest
provisions have been set at naught; that The
force of men employed in cleaning the streets
has never been half enough to perform the work
properly. The heal of the city in consequence
Of this criminal neglect of duty, is seriously inn
periled, and the Grand Jury submit that 1t is
the duty of the Controller TO refuse to make any
further payments upon the contract. The SupeTin-
iendent OF Sanitary Inspection, upon whose certih-
Gates of the "due and faithful performance OF
s the contract payments have been made, should,
it seems TO us, receive little more attention at
the hands of the Grand Inquest The present
ment points out the duty Of the City Inspector
in the premises, and suggests that the Police
Commissioners cause their patroinen to report
Abe street cleaning operations on their several
beats. This duty Of right belongs TO the Street
inspectors, but it is well known that they are
either in coluson with the deiaulting Con-
tractor or utterly neglecttul of their duty Their
services, therefore, might and should be dis
pensed with at once, for ttcir only use at pres
ent is to draw nearly S2l coo year from the
City Treasury. The Health Wardens and their
Deputies receive about $4,000 q year more from
the Corporation for duties already performed BY
ahe Police, with much greater fidelity. AT least
S70,OOO year might be saved to the Taxpayers
by the removal Of these drones, while the duties
(which they pretend to perform could better be
confded to the Police without costing one cent
20 the Corporation.

It is said that the army of the Union will at
once advance and occupy Winchester This is
the capital of Frederick County, Va, some eO
miles northwest of Washington and 30 miles from
IIarper's Ferry, and is the terminus of the VIM
chester aud Potomac Railroad, leading to Har-
per's Ferry, where it joins the Baltimore aud
Ohio Railroad. To march upon Winchester is to
take the Disunon force at Harper's Ferry IN the
rear. and cut off their communications. At the
same time they will no doubt be attacked from
Pennsylvania In front.

A CCRIoUs CRINoIINE ADvENTURE.-A corre-
spondent vouches for the truth of the following
story: On Sunday last, a young lady, eXpens-
lively dressed, was in garden within 100 miles
Of the town of Bradford. She stopped 10 gather
something when her crinoiine ooquetted with
bee hive that stood close by. On attempting to
walk forward the mischievous article, unwilling
TO surrender its hold, pulled over the hive, and
the angry troops of bees came buzzing about the
alarmed and unhappy fair one. Clearly no time
was to be lost, so, mastering up all her courage,
she rushed to pond in the enclosure, and plung-
ed overheard, to shield herself from her eXasper
ated foes. AS it was however, the poor girl was
very badly stung and had to be removed to bed.
it was expected that she would recover in a few
days.-Prest0n Uerald
