The morsl to be derived from all this Is self

The moral to be- derived from all this IS solt'
evident.
Let southern men patronisc their own lnsu-
rance offices. Let Firsinians especially re-
member that their own State affords insurance
comnanies, BOTH for life and property, fur more
trustworthy than the repudiatins establish
mcpts Of the North. It seems that, in some
cases, 1 return Of premiums partial, We sup.
pose,) can DO obtained, en- Z prompt return oil
policies. Let then, every Firginian who pos
sesses a Northern policy, at once, rid himself
on the best terms possible, of a bargain, the
obligations of which his Insurers arc endeavor-
ing to escape and then promptly insure his
life and property where the laws Of his own
State, and the character Of the men with whom
he has to deal, offer him n double security
against the possibility Of Repatriation.
At all events, let the reprdiating concerns
at the north be promptly repudiatea by all
southern men.

4 Word from Nr. YanccT.

4 brief letter is in print from the Hon. Wm.
l.. Yancey, to a gentleman in Washington,
dated Republic Of Alabama, Montgomery,
Jan. 18th" in which he says:
AS you have seen by telegraph, VIC passed
the ordinance OF secession yesterday, at four
P. NJ, by q vote Of 81 to 80. We have gained
seven votes on the passage from the co-opera-
ton ranks. Amongst others, we gained the
chief leader from North Alabama-Clemens.-
The most Of the %thirty-plne expressed regret that
they were bound by instructions 10 vote against
us. They had chrnged their minds, and would
advise their acquiesccnce. Thus, South Caro-
lima, Florida, Mississippi and Alabama are out.
Georgia will be out III five days, and so will
Louisiana and Texas during the month; and
so will North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas
aud Virginia in February.
If war is to come, we will meet it like men
struggling for our freedom, and we will give n
bloody welcome Ia our invaders.
ave proceed at rrcc t" reconstruct, and
will doubtless have Il provisional government
in full operation by the 18th February, Of all
seeding States

ton bill has now passed both Houses Of the

Sinia are now TO act in their sovereign capacity,

pice, Iarnchcercd by the hope that when the Re-
representatives. Of the sovereign people Of Vir-
siuia shall assemble at the Capitol on the 18th
