What Virginia Got at Norfolk.

The Alexandria Gazette states, " on au-
thority as reliable as it is eminent" under
stood to be Senator Mason), that the de.
structiOn of the government property at
Norfolk was not as complete as it was de-
signed to have been. The Gazette says:
Much of great value escaped either de-
struction or spoilation. The great dry
dock is entirely unipjured. Two thousand
five hundred cannon of all kinds and sizes,
fell into the hands of the State, giving us
armament of this description sufficient to
arm every exposed point in the Common
wealth. Shot, shell and other warlke miss
sells to very large amount, were captured,
and will be most valuable for our defence.
Besides these, the machinery Of the yard was
generally uninjured. A collection of ship
building and Quitting material, large and
valuable, including number of steel plates,
from castings, ETC., was found ready for i'm
mediate use, aud capable of being turned to
valuable account. The whole yard, though
bearing many marks of the intent to despoil
and destroy it, is yet capable of being Of
essential service to the Commonwealth.
Old Fort Norfolk, now used as maya
zine, was taken without resistance. Within
were captured three thousand barrels of
powder, containing three hundred thousand
pounds; also, a large number of shells and
other missiles, loaded, and for that reason
necessary to be kept il magazines.

Daniel S. Dickson on the .V,r.

Ex-senator Dickinson has written letter
from Binghamton, New York, to James B.
Eldridge, of Hamilton, correcting ,misstate-
ments in relation to bis own position, and
declaring his intention to stand by the gov
eminent. He says:
My views are mature, firm and resolute,
but neither heated nor extravaganza. | en-
terrain the idea that whatever may be, or
may have been, the wrongs of the South,
the remedy sought by force is not suited to
the case, but is calculated to aggravate the
disease tenfold and that the overthrow of
the government of the United States by
violence, for any of the reasons, or under any
of the pretences alleged, would be one of
the greatest calamities that has ever befallen
civilized man. l have neither entertained
nor expressed the crude and absurd senti-
ments attributed to me, nor anything of the
kind. have expressed the opinion that,
after all efforts at peace had failed, vigor-
GUS conflict and speedy settlement was more
humane than protracted guerilla war; that
the quarrel was the fault and folly of the
present generation, and its adjustment should
not be cOwardly turned over to an innocent
future; that, if protracted, it would finally
produce servile as we'll as civil war, and
for time destroy the prosperity of both
sections-the commerce of the North and
the institutions of the South-but that the
South had less recuperative energy than the
North, and would therefore find reconstruct
ton more difficult, and be the greatest suf-
ferer; and that, in comparison with the moral
and political foundations of our constitution
and government, the present material inter-
ests of both sections were of little value, and
that it would be better they should be swept
from the earth, both north and south, than
that the government of our fathers should
be overthrow by violence, faction and
rebellion, and made to give place to lawess-
ness and anarchy.

Southern View of the North.

The New Orleans Picayune of the 9th
says:
There is scarcely vestige left of the North
of what was called a conservative party
Pierce and Fillmore, Gushing and Dix, Doug
las and Ingersoll, Dickinson and Meredith
have all in past times, when it was question
of getting control of the powers of the Federal
Government, spoken warmly and strongly for
the South. They have been our witnesses, at
the North and before the world, in the right
eOusness of our cause.
What cause? The cause of treason -?
Never Never |! Never ~ The dis
ruption of the Union Never! Never
Never! The Union was ever the Banner
under which we all enlisted.
But, continues the Picayune: .....
They warned the Republicans of the wicked
character of the conflict they were waging, and
predicted the inevitable result. The Republi.
cans, nevertheless, derided, persisted and tri-
umphed. The consequences which these men
portrayed as inevitable, the natural effects of
oppression upon high-spirited people, have
come just as they predicted. The wrong they
protested against was contaminated.
What wrong? The wrong of constitu-
tionally electing President, and of tieiDg
him up thus:
by the Senate OF the United States.
By the House of Representatives.
By the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The fact is \tbis: We all, with various
candidates-Lincoln, Bell, Breckenridge and
Douglas-went into Presidential election
seemingly in good faith, all pledging our
selves to abide the result,-when South
Carolina, not winning, kicked the election
over, and dragged the whole South after her,
Because Presidential election was not won
the Union has been broken up.
If jeff Davis, Toombs & Co. had not run
away from Washington, but had stood by us
of the North there would have been con-
firmed in the Cabinet
No Seward, no Chase, no Blair, no one,
not known to be conservative, constitu-
tiOnal man.

The Invasion and Capture Of WASH

"HAm COLUMBIA" The song of Hail
Columbia was written, in 1898, by Joseph
Hopkinson, of Philadelphia, to be sung at
the theatre for the benefit of an actor who
was his friend. 1t was composed at time
of great popular excitement, when war
with France seemed inevitable. In his old
age Judge Hopkinson furnished DR.. r. W {.
Griswold detailed history of the circum-
stances under which the song was written.
He said "the object of the author was to get
up an American spirit, which should be
independent of, and above the interests,
passions and policy Of England and France,
and look exclusively for our own national
honor and rights"

April ~, 1861.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.


Eighty years have passed, and more,
Since under the brave old tree
Our fathers gathered in arms and swore
They would follow the sign their banners bore,
And fight till the land was free.
Half of their work is done,
Half is left to do,-
Cambridge. and Concord, and Lexington!
When the battle is fought and won,
What shall be told of you?
Hark-'tis the south wind moans,-
Who are the martyrs DOWN. [bOnes
All, the marrow was true in your children
That sprinkled with blood the cursed stones
Of the murder-haunted town?
What if the storm clouds blow?
What if the green leaves fall?
Better the crashing tempest's throe
Than the army of worms that gnawed below !;
Trample them one and all
Then, when the battle is won,
And the land from traitors free,
Our children shall tell of the strife begun
When Liberty's second April sun
Was bright on our brave old tree

Correspondence Of the Alexandria Gazette
RlCHMoND, March I've had on yester-
day, think, the best speech of the Conven-
ton, from Ballard Preston. 1t was not
an oratorical effort of any high order, but
was practical, argumentative, and at times
Astounding in some pleasing flights. His
general style, manner, and language were
quite good. His speech, | think, will be
more generally read by the masses than any
other The Convention, under it's late rule,
begins work early and works late. Last
night it did not adjourn until lO3 O'clock
The Secessonists are now clearly indicating
by their action that they are not prompt
action men. They are interpos;ng obstacles
for delay On yesterday. Hall of Wetzel, Of
tered as substitute for the report OF the
majority, the Constitution Of the Contedera-
ted States. | am inclined TO think that it took
the iisuuiunists by surprise. They moved an
adjournment, and when defeated. endeavor-
ei to have it Withdrawn. For three hours
aud more great confusion prevailed. The
disuniouists sought 20 prevent action on 1t.
The Convention desired action, and refused
10 adjourn, and st 10 o'clock voted it down,
nearly all the disunionists leaving the Hall
in order to prevent Il quorum.
The people will perceive TWO things: First,
that the Secessionists are delaying by par
liamentary tilibuSteriSm the prompt action Of
the Convention on the interesting and grave
subjects before them.
Secondly, that they have repudiated the
Constitution Of the Cotton State Contederacy,
for every secessioniSt present voted against
it, 1t did not receive one vote-eyen its own
author, did not vote for it.
If this system of parliamentary tactics be
adopted by the SeceSsionists to stave of &C
ton Oh the various competing propositions
now before the Convention, it ie impossible
to say when the Convention will adjourn
The majority, the Union men. will do all
thew can to hasten final action. They have
gone to work, and tie ayes and noes. will
show who are for action, and who are for
delay. The proceedings Of the Legislature
will show that the SecesSionists, satisfied
that this Convention will not put Virginia
out of the Union, have inaugurated scheme
in the Legislature to accomplish this end
Mr.. Tomlin, of King William, has intro
duced a bill 10 submit the question to the
