The Old Dominion and the New.

The New Governor OF Virginia appointed
by the late Convention has called an extra
session OF the Legislature, to meet at Wheel
ing on Monday next. The meeting of this
body will be new thing in the history of
this country. 1t will be the first session of a
Legislature in a seeded State, under decree
OF the people, repudiating and deposing their
former Government on account of its treason,
and recognizing under the Constitution. The
presence of the loyal forces in Virginia have
enable the people of that State who pre-
served their allegiance to maintain their po-
sition and hold the Old Dominion to her
place in the Union. When Gov. Letcher
and his associates went over to secession, 1t
did not enter into their calculations that they
would be superseded by a new dynasty, that
would prevent them from striking from the
national flag the star that Washington and
his great compeers placed there They did
not take into the account that their own peo
pie, whom they were betraying, would ty
an assertion of the original powers vested in
them. repudiate their action, revoke their
commissions, and strip them of official trust
and authority. In their haste to destroy the
Union, they overlooked the loyalty west Of
the mountains, that had no sympathy with
secession, and that execrated the treason that
hurried Virginia into rebellion.
The meeting of this Legislature is the be-
ginning of u system which will sooner or
later be inaugurated in all of the seeded
States, the practical effect of which will be
the reconstruction of the Union upon its
original basis, through the agency of the
Loyalty still extant in them all There are
true men enough in Tennessee to form a State
Government, and when the Union forces
shall be advanced southwark down the val
ley of the Mississippi, a Convention of the
people, following the example Of Virginia
will construct a new State Government as an
integral part of the great American Republic
North Carolina will probably be next to fall
into line, and thus the process will go on, as
the national forces move southwark, until all
the States shall occupy their former position
in the Union.
It's scarcely to be presumed, however, that
jeff. Davis or Governor Lecher will regard
this action of Western Virginia with indif-
ference. The new Government is matter
of too much Importance, too significant as
precedent, and promises to be too serious in
results to allow of its being inaugurated
without..a struggle to prevent it, and we may
therefore look for the march Ct rebel army
in the direction of Wheeling 1t is due to
the people of that region that they should be
efficiently supported 10y United States troops.
They have suffered and hazarded too much,
and their action in favor of the Union is too
important to be neglected now. Whatever
forces may be sent against them should be
met by Government soldiers in sufficient
numbers to guarantee their perfect security,

LARGE FLAG IN STOCKTON employees
at the State Insane Asylum, in Stockton,
hoisted on that institution, July 4, a flag
sixty eight by forty, manufactured by the
inmates; also, a streamer 1875 feet long. The
Asylum pole is l72 feet high Besides the
above, the inmates made 2O4 flags Of all ma
tions, with which the Asylum was dressed on
the Fourth, presenting one of the most mag
in the State. The Sacramento Union asks:
" How long would it probably have been be-

DEATH OF CHARLOTTE BRoNrE's FATHER
Charlotte Brontes father is dead. On the
9TH of June he fell asleep in the weird old
parsonage of Haworth, closing his eyes on
the heurthstone where the three lovely wo-
men who made his name glorious sat but
little while ago, dreaming inscrutably over
the wonderful world within them, and whence
they passed, one by one, their fragile shapes
seeming rather to fade slowly than die quick.
". like the common lot Eighty four years
old and but for that faithful son-in law
Nichols, who looks to us in reading of him
more like protraction Of Charottes life
than separate eXistence-but for him and
the servants, all alone! We may believe or
disbelieve the stories of his iron sternness, he
NAV have fred dGhimself off in pistol cartridges
rom the DuCk-uOOI uS nave TORN
taffeta gowns, he may have been gloomy
companion for three motherless women and a
gifted reckless, unbalanced son-we forget
all that now-he outlived one of the rarest
families that were ever born to man. All
that we know of him is known because he
was the father of Currer, Acton and Ellis
Bell, of Patrick the younger, dead in his des.
pairing youth, after life of wild, brilliant
misery, for which no philosopher in the
tangled organism of morbid nature could
dream of holding him responsible. The Rev.
Patrick Bronte was born on the Saints day
which gave him his name, in the year III.
A brief but unutterably fascinating history,
with an end which saddens us, yet makes us
still more glad. 1t is impossible to feel over
balancing regret at the death Of the last
Bronte We rejoice that there is none living
to bear that name which always meant misery
and spiritual unheallh, while it portended
genius and glory 1t is as if we saw galaxy
of glorious stars, and knew that while they
shone they were burning in a bitter conscious
pain. W e might sorrow for ourselves when
they dimmed and went out in white ashes
but for their sakes we should rejoice. 1t is a
beneficent law of nature that no morbid
growth, however splendid, propagates itself
through generations cf unhealth and agony.
And we would have no more of the Brontes
left us than dwells in their immortal books

1.-.rcuRAL Address OF Gov. PIERPoNT OF
v,oe,s1A.-The Wheeling (Va.) IntelIigencer
,r;ogs a full report of the speech Of Governor
pierpont, the new Executive appointed by
.ho Wheeling Convention, delivered on tax
;or the oath of office. The Governor defined
tbe position of the people of Western Vir-
pina, as follows:
we have been driven into the position we
occupy to-day 10y the usurpers at the South,
Who have inaugurated this war upon the soil
of Virginia, and have made it the great
Crimea of this contest. We. representing the
laval citizens of Virginia, have been bound to
ossume the position we have assumed to-day,
for the protection of ourselves, our wives, our
children and our property. We, | repeat,
have been driven to assume this position; and
now we are but recurring to the great funda
mental principle of our fathers, that to the
loval people of a State belongs the law-mak-
inr power of that State. The loyal people
are entitled to the government and govern
mental authority of the State. And, fellow
citizens, it is the assumption of that authority
upon which we are now about to enter
1t will be for us by firmness, and by pru
dence by wisdom, by discretion, in all our
acts, to inaugurate every step we take for the
purpose of restoring law and order to this
ancient Commonwealth to mark well our
steps, and to implore the divine wisdom and
direction of Him that ruleth above, who has
every hair of our heads numbered, and who
suffereth not sparrow to fall unnoticed to
the ground, and His guidance and direction
in enabling us to carry out the great work
we have undertaken here, in humility, but
with decision and determination.
With these remarks, thank you again for
the honor you have conferred upon me, and
promise you that l will do the best | can in
administering your wishes, and in trying to
carry out the great object we have been
working for here, and for which we expect
to work for some time to come.

the purchase be made at the price stated
Mr. Throckmorton, the owner of the land in
question, appears to be dissatisfied at the
jury's decis ion and il is said he will appeal
from the verdict The witnesses on the part
of the owner were William Glib, (of Daniel
Glib q Co.. Mr. Peck, (of Peck, Rogers q
Co.. Mr. Tescherlacher, Ferdinand Vassault,
r. IL. Sinton, and others They testified in
different degrees as to the commercial value
of Lime Point and the adjacent coast and
represented the location as valuable for ware
houses steamboat landings and other business
purposes. Some of this testimony, it is said,
gives the land on the water front most fabu-
lous values. On the part ofthe Government,
a number of witnesses were also examined.
They testified that two-thrds of the tract
was suitable for pasturage orly, and the re-
mainder arabic. For agricultural and graz
ing purposes, (the land presumed valueless
for any other,) the average of the testimony
made the entire 1900 acres worth S27 900,
showing difference between their opinion
and that arrived at by the jury of sos ,o)0.

A GENTIEMAN.-Wha is a gentleman ?
Magnin, once discussing the vexed question,
quoted an Irish authority, who laid it down
that, for duelling purposes, any one might be
considered a gentleman, who wore a clean
shirt onee a week. The Byronic idea Of a
gentleman, we are all familiar with: small
hands and feet, high forehead, curly hair, and
fine taste for hook and soda water in the
morning. 1t is plain, am afraid, that ma n
ners have little TO do with making gentle
man In the worlds sense of that term The
flantagenets ate their meals with their fin
gers. slept on straw, and did not use pocket
handkerchieis. Charlemagne, not being able
to write, was compelled to dip the forefnger
OF his glove in the ink, and smear it over the
parchment when it was necessary that the
imperial sign manual should he fixed to an
edict. The best bred men of modern times
