DEsrER1TE Sr7vArrCs OF TIE 5scnssIosIsrs
or VIRGINIA. That IA early movement upon
Richmond Of even twenty Thousand men,
which can BOW be epared from Washington,
would snuff cut secession in Virginia we have
not the slightest doubt. Read tho very sug-
gestive items OF news from that State which we
publish in another part Of this paper. 1t thus
appears that a large prof portion Of the Virginia
people are indignant at the sneakiEg way in
which the State has been committed to the
rebel government of JEFF Davis; th e the forced
contributions levied by the secession foragers
from the farmers Of their horses, provisions,
&C.. ere exciting z. neral feeling Of indigna
ion among the honest yeomanry, which will
not be satisfied with Virginia scrip, worth
to day only thirty or forty cents on the dollar,
and which, six months hence, may not be worth
a sixpeDee on the hundred dollars. 1t further
appears that the late descent OF secession
troops upon Harper's Ferry, and the attempt
of the rebels to seize the Navy Yard at Nor
folk, were proceedings undertaken in disregard
of the iDjunctions of Governor .Latcher, and
that their object was to precipitate the Com
monwealth into civil war, and thus stife the
voice Of the people in their approaching State
election.
All this applies to Southeastern Virginia, the
populous slaveholding section of the State.
In Northwestern Virginia, where there are
very few slaves, and where, from its noun
famous character, the country is not adapted,
and never can be adapted to slave labor to any
extent, the people are rising en- 1nasse against
secession and are putting their opposition into
very decisive general movement. In all the
Northwestern counties they are manifestly re-
solved to stay in the Union, even to the extre-
nifty of organizing new State from those
counties. That this alternative of the d.
vision of the State will be adopted and car
ried out should the election of the Esd, in
spite of the west, be carried by terrorism In
the east, we have every reason to believe. We
have positive information upon the subject too
strong to be doubted.
To save the State, therefore, in its integrity;
to save it from warlike division against it.
self; to save the great slaveholding section
from absolute destruction, between q fire in
the front and fire in the rear; to save the peo-
pie of Eastern Virginia from a consuming
war, as those of Maryland have been saved, it
is only necessary now to move strong govern
ment force from Washington to Richmond.
The secessionists there are greatly alarmed.
Their newspaper organs betray the symptoms
of panic, which, with all their efforts to mag
nify their military forces, they cannot dis
guise. We hope, therefore, that no time will
be lost at Washington in preparing for Union
corp d'etat in Virginia.

RECEIPT OF THE PRESIDENTS WAR PRocI.AMA-
TON IN ESGIAND-The Africa brings the ac
count of the effect produced in England by the
Presidents proclamation. 1t will be recollect-
ed that it was published in the HERALD on the
sunday following the bombardment of Fort
Sumter, and was taken out by the New York and
Kangaroo. This confirmation of the report pre-
viously received, but not generally credited, of
he commencement of hostilities, caused Of
course great sensation, tut its effect never.
iheless, both in the cotton and money markets,
was so slight that it shows that the commercial
mind had not as yet realized the full
gravity of the situation. There has
been all along lingering belief abroad
that the rupture between the two great Sec
tons of the confederacy would not end in
actual warfare Then, again, it was supposed
by many that, even should matters be pushed
to that point, the division of sentiment that
existed at the North in regard to republican
policy would Immediately compel compli-
ance with the demands of the secessionists.
Foreign politicians, in fact, fell into the same
mistake into which the Southern people have
been themselves Overwhelmingly, that rebel
lion would command such an amount of SYM
patby and support from Northern democrats
that the action of the government would be
completely paralyzed by it.
We can readily imagine what the effect will
be in England and elsewhere when the news is
received of the unanimous and enthusiastic re-
Spouse with which the Presidents appeal to
the patriotism of the North has been received.
The loyal devotion, the generous forgetful-
ness of past differences, and the practical
appreciation of the perils of the situa-
ton which have been manifested by all
classes, offer spectacle which must
inspire general admiration and respect
The friends Of human freedom will see in it an
evidence that their apprehensions for the per-
manence Of republican Institutions have been
founded on mistaken Impressions of the char
acter and temper of Northern men Their
moderation and forbearance towards the seces-
sionists were the result not of apathy, as Mr..
Russell thought, nor of want of faith in the in-
dseolubility of the Union, but of their desire
to spare the country the horrors of fratricidal
war. The Simultaneous ardor with which they
sprang to arms when they found that the rebels
contemplated nothing less than the dishonor
of the national flag and the destruction of the
government, will convince them that there is a
vitality in republican institutions which no
amount of party corruption or mal-administra-
ton can destroy. The effect of this new view
of our affairs will be to restore confidence as
well to the commercial classes abroad who
have so deep stake in our welfare as to ali
those who sympathize with us politically.
