pie was again bartered in exchange for mess o
Black Republican porridge!
Then followed Rev. Thomas W. Dosh. n mos
talented and eloquent young clergyman. ais
from the Valley OF Virginia. He, likewise being
a Icy al son of the Old Dominion, and true to hi
mother State, YVES sacrificed on account of tha
loyalty, aud compelled to find different sphere o
action.
Aud now the last of the four, the Rev.E. T
Perkins, originally from near Alexandria, in thi
STATE bat now absent for some weeks past visitips
an invalid mother near Richmond, has written t.
the vestry of his church (St. Matthew's Episcopal

President, otherwise be offered his resignation
with but one dissenting voice his resignation wa;
received; and he, too, was sacrificed in the other
Instances.
There perhaps never a congregation who
apparently were more earnestly aud sincerely at
tached to their minister than were the st. Mat
thew,s people to their pastor, Mr.. Perkins. AND
yet this timid and time-serving vrstry sacrificed
him and their religion (?) to their politics.
A military official, belonging to the bogus Gov
ernment here, was sent on East short time since
to solicit aid and comfort, for the purpose of giving
Ii and strength to this Black Republican pet OF
Lincoln's which his friends, for the present, have
succeeded in erecting in midst.
whist In ashington city, in conjunction with
the quasi Senators belonging to this same bastard
concern, he succeeded in impressng upon the
of an overw whelming Union fighting sentiment in
this portion of the State. Assuring them that il a
recruiting staff were sent to Wheeling, they could
enlist not less than from ten to twelve native Vir
GINA regiments. Upon such hattering promise
recruiting officers were at once dispatched. These
men, after having had good time generally for
some four or five weeks in smashing brandy, aud
cocktaiIing whskey, succeeded in enrolling one
poor unhappy fellow, who afterwards was dis
charged, as being unfit for service. Thev were
then ordered off to Cleveland Ohio
The other day, at the McLuFe House, 10 this CITY,
an ONO Colonel, on his way home With his regi
ment-their term Of enlistment having expiyed-de
clared that he bad no doubt now but that this " ar
Is for the ezterminatinn of slavery; that nearly all
the Northern Black Republican press boldly pro.
claimed it to be SUCH and Congress unInists keaby
recognized the fact. AS for himself, he said he
would have nothing more to do with it, and if there
was any one present who desired to take his place
be would be only too willing to let him have it.
There was strong talk among the friends Of ''0d
Abe OF having this bold officer placed under ar.
rest and cAUrt-mar tailed.
But since the memorable DIST of July there has
been far boIder aud more outspoken expression
of sen ments than heretofore among those, who, in
their hearts, felt and do most plainly see, the
netarious intention of this inlquitous and
holy war.
A few days before the expected commencement
OF the tacetiously styled Virginia races" to come
off at Manassas the redoubable editor of the Black
Republican Lincoln organ here went on to Wash
ington city, not to be spectator OF the battle field,
as that would little suit his notions of personal
safety, but to be present at the rejoicing over car
tain victory.
On Sunday night this valiant editor sent des-
patch to bis paper, which appeared on Monday
morning, that he had just had access to those ev
memorable teU-tGinute dispatches announcing the
progress of the battle, and had been in the august
presence, aud that General Scott says be hal
them."(D
When the news OF the great victory reached bere

most over The glorious triumph-those who call
themselves Virginia Unionsts or the Spcessionsts
This shows the deep and abiding Southern SYM
pathy that really exists here, Notwithstanding the
great amount of shriehiag that is constantly done
Tor the Union.
The right succeeding the day of the news of this
glorious victory, the Black Republican mobspirit
that had previously dsplaved itself here began
again to show its despicable front. Secession
houses were egged and Grape hung on their doors.
Other cnntemptible and offensive damonstra tions
were made, and Others of a still viler character
threatened. But with such demonstrations as the
above they quickly exh auSted themselves and quiet
ness soon prevailed.
There is set of men here who are fercely
bounding on others to engage in mob violence and
other dlSreputabIe manifestations, who dare not
show themselves as actors in the dirty scenes-but
who are forever inciting others to take up arms
and go forth to do battle for cause in which they
themselves are too cowardy to engage. They
know shreking for the Union and fighting for the
Union are two very different things.
Since writing the above, have just seen a letter
from friend in Richmond, in which is given a
brief and buried account OF the gallant part which
a company OF brave and noble young men from this
city took IN the great battle of Bull Run The
contents OF the letter have cast heavy gloom and
sorrow over all the lends of the South in our
midS; but the gloom and sorrow were ligbtened
by the knowledge conveyed of the fearless daring
ard dauntless courage exhibited on the field by our
Spartan troops in battling for the rights and iber
ties of the Confederate States, and driving from
their soil the miuions and hirelings of Lincoln.

The regiment in which the Wheeling company
was enrolled was connected with Gen. JacksOn't
brigade, and uuder Colonel Gordon's command.
When the members of this company left here
10 squads, and as civilians-sOme of them, who be-
lieved principle and loyalty to their State to be
their first duty left their homes under the threat o
the everlasting displeasure of their parents whils
the editor of the Black Republican paper here
after the Young men had all departed declared
they were the ofiscOuring and scum of creation.
The fact that our people tamely permitted rs
noble, intelligent and respectable set of young
gentlemen as ever lived in any community, to be
traduc.d and villifed in this manner by Pennsyl
have allowed themselves to be almost unconscious "
dragged.
The young men composing this company are tht
sons of some of our best families, and were accus
toned to life of ease and luxury; and yet, at thei
cluntry's call, they threw aside their life o.
pleasure and comfort, abandoned their happy
homes, and took up arms and went forth to do bat
tie for the rights of their glorious old mother State
In this company there were two killed, two mo
tally wounded, and seven others slightly wounded
