supported essentially by the labor of the negro In the
western section labor is respected; while among too
many in the eastern section, the man who labors for
his bread is despsed. On these hcts rests the whole Of
that assumed diversity of character which, coming in
aid Of the geographical and commercial influences
which attach Western Virginia to the Free States now
threatens rend the State in twain and attach the good
Old Dominion to the train of South Carolina.
What 10 to be the immediate result however, we do
not venture to predict though the probability seems to
be gaining ground that the links Of connection between
Eastern and Western Virginia will be strained to the
point Of parting before the attachments of the Western
section to the thrift progress and independence OF the
Free States of the Mississippi Valley, and to their ma
tional flag, will give way.
Already it is proposed by some Of the Western Dele
gates in the Legislature and Convention, that slave
property now scarcely taxed at ALL shall be required
to bear some reasonable proportion Of the expenses OF
the extensive military preparations which the Disunion-
lists demand to enable them TO force their obnoxious
plans upon the State and the Federal Government.
Already the division Of the State is intimated, at
FIRST in muered and recently in more audible threats,
as the alternative of secession. II is impossible for
those most conversant with Virgirian sentiment TO
foresee the result. There strong Indications 1t is
true that all the secession resolutions will be voted
down by the Convention. But is not 80 certain that
the threatened conflict between the Eastern and West
ern part of the State will be ultimately avoided by any
decision of that body. The controversy is assuming
the form of a sectional issue in the State-a sectional
Issue between communities geographically separated by
a sharp mountain range; commercially separated by
the absence of all available Of communication
and socially separated by entire dissmilaty of habits
and life.
We do not venture topredct, therefore, which party
In the approaching contest Is destined to achieve a
triumph and much lees to assert that the defeated side
will acquiesce in the verdict II IL should not there
will arise over the whole surface of the State the new
and momentous question: whether topermt the peaee-
full secesson" of Eastern Virginia from the State and
Union, or appeal to coercion as the alternative But
be the immediate result what it may, 1t is already plain
that the doctrine Of Secession which owes Its life and
growth II not he birth, to the teaching Of the Vriaan

MATTERS AT Observation-Disclosures from
Pensacola to May 31st, states that many OF
The Confederate troops are leaving there,
aud returning to their homes. This looks
as if after all the immense labor Of the re-
bells in erecting batteries and ObsIructing
the harbor preparatory to an attack on
Fort Pickens, they had concluded to give it
up as bad job. Letters from Fort Pickens
state that with two thousand more men the
Federal troops would be able to act on the
aggressive. and drive the rebels from the
Navy Yard at least. The island of Santa
Rosa is in full possession OF the Federal
troops and several batteries have been erec-
ted outside of the fort preparatory to offen-
sive operations. It is believed that with the
feet and the strong side Of Fort Pickens
playing on Fort McRea, that the latter can
be silenced in two hours. On the second
inst, steamer was dispatched from New
York with rfed cannon Of large calibre,
and large quantity Of ammunition, in-
tended for Fort Pickens.
