about to "overtako The wicked in these Gen

ITSELF and We repeat, that with the gathering
armies of the Union in front, and with the loyal
people of Western Virginia in the rear, the
secessionists of the eastern section have a
rough road before them. The ordinance OF
secession is to be tested by the popular vote of
the State on Thursday next, aad 1t will doubt
less be ratified by terrorism and by frauds TN
iess in the meantime some such ambassadors as
General Butler and suite-say thirty thousand

Mary land has been ssVed.
We believe, with the beautiful example of
MaIyla before ne, that Virginia may thus be
eaved without even a battle, and that with
Virginia restored to the Union, the backbone
of this Southern rebellion will be broken. We
hope the government will not LET this golden
opportunity, unappropriated, pass away.
