A GRAND Prospective STAMPEDE The Precip.

which they fully advised is in active operation in
all the rural districts of the State Numbers of the
largest shareholders to leave the State very soon
and many Of the most fourishing agricultural dis
trcts 10 be left as desolate as the wilderness of
Jamaica!-unless the Convention forthwith pass an
ordinance of secession We are told, too, that
thousands and thousands of busy hands, which now
constitute the productive labor of the State are to
be carried away and thus really nobody will be LETT
to till our fields and black our boots Now, this
would be awful, indeed if it had any essential
foundation in truth. But it is all trash-all gam
mon-al leather and prunella; and for the good
and unanswerable reason that while the politicians
may be knaves and demogogues, the people of Vir-
gnia not such fools! There is no earthly reason
why any man should leave the State, and but few
will be n'nnies enough to do so, account of the
failure of the Convention to pass ordinance Of
secession. any there be- who are fools enough to
runaway from the State on that account we say, in

Secession, but against holding State Convention to

Southern States should have waite for united coun-

Of adopting separate Secession, and deserting the
Union it is more than probable that it would have
by this time, secured every guarantee it asked and
made the Union perpetual safe, and glorious.

"The Yankee -Buzzard will soon be plucked, gut
ted, dried and peppered. The sooner the better"
The above is the language of the Charlotte Bul-
ktin in regard to our national flag. 1t is matter
of taste and feeling, and we envy no man who can
entertain such taste and feeling as prompted the
above language. i..
In or out of the Union there are memories clus-
terng around that old flag that every patriotic heart
of WASHINGTON himself rs revile the flag under
which he fought through the war of Independence.
We beg the people to look to the sentiments uttered
by dsunionists, and to see what wickedness what
madness and folly actuatc them No comment
could do justice to the above language of the Bul-
lstin and wei shall attempt none.-Ad VaL Banner.
The Alexandria Gazette says a gentleman of Pitt
sylvanla county. Va, strong Secessonist in Feb.
ruary last being dissatisfied with the course things
were taking IN Virginia went to Mississippi for the
purpose Of buying land and to remove his negroes
to that State. He has just returned and called on
the Delegate from his county to say that though he
had thought Virginia was slow, /" hope she will be
slower still )" that he saw but few of the substan
tial wealthy proprietors in Mississippi who were not
dissatisfied with the course of events South at the
prospect Of heavy taxation, and of no benefits under
the new order of things that they could not expect
under the old Union and told him that if Virginia
and the Border States got such guarantees would
be satisfactory to them, they had no doubt that
Mississippi and the Gulf States would return" He
has concluded to remain in Virginia - -. ~
ADVICE FOR THE UNION IN New ORLEASs-The
New Orleans True Delta still stands firmly by the
Union, and daily thunders forth its denunciations
of the Secessionists. 1t concludes an article de-
nonncing Mr.. Buchanan as traitor to his country.
and Senator Slidell as having clung to him "While
there was an Office to dispense Job to be consrlm.
ed or country to betray," with the following pre-
diction :..o- .- -.- 80 sf fa -.-i.,. - .aev
"Our opinion is that, sooner or later the abor-
tions of Washington and Montgomery will be brush
ed away. and the trne Democracy of the nation,
enlightened by the past will resume the admnistra-
ton of their country, purify its counsels Justice
to all sections and with united front again place
this nation in that commanding position before the
world from which villaineus conspirators for the

Hon. j. J. CRIrrENDEN.-The Virginia Conyen-
ton has passed the following resolution:
"Resolced, That the thanks of the people of Vir-
gnia be, and they are hereby most cordially tender.
ed to the Hon. John J. Crittenden for bis recent
able, jealous and patriotic efforts in the Senate Of
the United States to bring about just and honor
able adjustment of our national diffculties.". ,e
Strange as it may seem there we're sixteen votes
cast against this resolution, Ex Gov. WISE giving
one Of them. These sixteen men are reckless dis,
unionists, per Sc, and their vote against the resp
luton enhances the compliment to Mr.. Crittenden.
