TFrom the Virginia Citizen.j
Letter from s. A. Coef1nan.
RICHMOND, March 80, 1861.

Dr. G1LMER,-
Dear Sir: Isee in your paper of the goth
inst an editorial with regard to the posi-
ton took in my speech at your late court.
| would infer, sir, that you did not hear my
speech, and are, therefore, not justified in
making strIctires upon what [ said, detri
mental to my real position, without correct
information. I stated that I occupied the
same position now that did before the peo-
pie, and which had stated every where in
the county. I then stated that was u
Mon man still-that I earnestly desired the
perpetuity of the Union, and was willing to
exhaust all honorable means to perpetuate
it; but that was still, as | had ever been,
utterl y unwilling to see Virginia submit to
degradation. My position was this I was
willing to take the majority report Of the
committee of twenty-one, as far as it went
at the time / was in Harrisonburg. I was
further in favor of consulting the slave States
row in the Union, and presenting an ulti-
matam to the North, and adjourn over I'M
til the first day of December next, waiting
the response and action of the Northern
States. This, l think, would be carrying
our demands to the full extent, and any fur
tber entreaties made to them would be bring
ing disgrace and humiliation upon Virginia;
That was the position | took in the canvass,
and is the position occupy to-day. If you
will take the trouble, sir to read my pub
lshed card before the election, you will find
the two positions substantially the same
[ do not think an ordinance of secession, at
present, could possibly do any good, but
upon the contrary, would be hurtful- And
SO far as those are concerned that are will
ing to submit to have any amount of degree
dation heaped upon Virginia, have neither
sympathy nor respect for. ;. ..:. = :.
| do not believe. sir, that you could in
tentionaly misrepresent my position, and
will ask, as favor, the publication Of this
letter. Yours, &c..

LOAN OF THE CONFEDERATE SrATEs.-The Sa-
vannah banks have taken FIVE hundred thous-
aud dollars of the loan authorized by the
Southern Congress, at it's late session. The
Montgomery cor respondent Of the Charles
ton Mercury writes
at is matter of some pride here, at the
.capital, to know that the government loan
| of five million dollars has been taken, or
at least the money has already been tender
ed, aud Is now waiting the time wien the
bonds can be issued from the Treasury De-
partment Although Congress- authorized
a loan of $15 600, 900, if that sum was need
ed, early in the session, it was only last
week that proposals were advertised fs-, to
raise one third Of that amount, enough for
present wants. The advertisement asked
for S., 900, 600, giving as security the bonds
of the Confederate States, bearing interest
at ten per cent F, and payable in ten years:
and, at the same time, briefly stated the
means of obtaining the money for the uiti-
mate payment of the debt. Notwithstand-
ing the loan has been only few days be-
fore the public, more than double the a.
mount required has been rendered to the
Secretary Of the Treasury, and offers are
continually coming in from all sections"
The writer adds that offers of money have
been received from New York, Philadelphia,
!, New Orleans, and other cities of the Uni
| tod States, and in the Confederate States, to
an amount thas would cover the entire au-
! tborized loan. Mr.. Memminger. however
has concluded that the citizens Of the Con.
federate States are entitled to the preference

THE EPISCOPAL URcH.-The New Y ork
Church Journal states that there will ba no
schismatical division Of the Episcopal Church
in consequence of the separation Of the Con-
federacy. In the organization of that Church
each State composes a Diocese, and each
Diocese, like each State, is sovereign and
independent. Their natural organization
resembles the Federal organization, and con-
sequently, according to the Journal, not
only will the effects of State secession upon
the diocesan relations of the Church in the
seeded States be at once recognized, but
where, as in the case of the Bishopric of
Alabama, the concurrence of the National
Episcopate may be necessary to fill vacan-
cy, the promptest measures will be taken
by the Northern Bishops to give the requi-
site sanction to the election in Alabama and
to every other act necessary for the entire
independence of all the dioceses in the Sc
coded States This is in perfect harmony
with the noble attitude of the Episcopal
Church in the North from the beginning
which has always and everywhere set its
face as flint against abolitonism, and ev-
cry other ISM, and which is composed of a
body Of clergy and laity which would have
done honor to any age and any nation Of
she Christian Church.

Experience proves that when horses or
cattle are fed on dry corn and hay, they will
consume from two to three ounces of salt
per day, if permitted free access to it; and
If fed on new hay or grass, the desire for
salt is much increased, and the consumption
amounts to from six to seven onces day.
Littls things are what keep the ball rolling.

Bulwer ON MatrlmOny..

From an interesting lecture recently de
livered by Sir D. l.. Bulwer, the novelist.
we extract the following passage:
The law. that binds one man to the one
woman is so indelibly written by nature
that, wherever it is violated in general sys-
| tenn, the human race is found to deteriorate
in mind and form. The enoblng Influence
OF woman ceases; the wife is a companions
hundred wives are but hundred slaves
Nor is this all; unless man look to woman
as Treasure to be wooed and won-her smile
the charm Of his e1istence-her single heart
the range of desires that which deserves
the name OF love can not exist, is struck out
OF the healthful system of society Now, if
there be passion in the human breast which
most tends to lift us out of egotism and self
which most teaches US to live in another
which puri6es and warns the. whole moral
being-it is love, as we of the north hold it
and cherish it. For even when the fair
spring of youth has passed, and when the
active life is employed in such grave pur-
suits that the love of his early years seems
to him like dream of romance, still that
love, having once lifted him out of egotism
into sympathy, does but pass into new forms
and development-it has locked his heart to
charity and benevolence it gives smile to
his home-it rises UP in the eyes of his
children-from his heart it circulates insen-
slble 'on the laws that protect the hearth to
the native land that spreads around it,
Thus in the uniform history of the world we
discover that wherever love is created, as it
were, and sanctioned by'that equality be-
tween the sexes which the permanent and
holy union of one heart with another pro.
claims, there. too, patriotism, lberty-the
manly and the gentle virtues-also find the
place; and whenever, on the contrary, DO
lygamy is practiced, and love disappears in
the gross satietyaof the, senses there we find
neither respect for humanity. nor reverence
for home. nor affection for the natal soifs1
And one reason why Greece so contrasted
in all that dignifes our nature, the effemi-
nate and dissolute character of the East
which it overthrew, lis that Greece was the
earliest civilized country IN which, on the
borders of those great marriage
was the sacred tie between one man and
one woman, and man was the thoughtful
father of a home, not the wanton cord Of
seraglio.

HIGH LIFE IN WASHINGTON An intelli.
gent correspondent of one of the New York
papers gives the following description Of
Lincoln's last reception: ;.
"The reception at the White House was
GIG OF the poorest ever seen in Washington.
Some Of the strong minded women from the
Wcst insisted on dancing the Rai-Splitter's
dance, which. consisted in simply walking
IN zig>zag manner from; enc side of the.
room to the other, as though they were fol-
lowing a split rail fence in the dark. Il
certainly was the most undignifed and child
ish performance ever seen in the White
House. The faces of Senators Sewa ard and
Cameron were red with shame. In receiv-
ing his friends, and in shaking hands with
his friends. Old Abe docs the business up
like regular rail-splitter who had inst gone.
through the marriage ceremony, and was
receiving the congratulations offrisnds. In
his reception he labors harder perhaps and
goes through more hard work than any sig
ordinary men could stand Western admi-
rers fancy all his movements are beautifully
Frenchy.
