IHE PERILs OF PEACE.-If the fruits OF
the Southern Revolution are not to turn to
ashes in our hands, the trainers of our laws
must impose not only restrictions, but
total prohibition, upon the exercise of the
right of suffrage by persons coming here af.
ter the war from the North 1t should re-
quire, AS is the case in England, special legis-
lative enactment to naturalize any individual
emigrant. If Virginia is to become, as is pro-
bable, great manufacturing State, we shall
have Lynn and Lowell transferred at the end
of the war to our Old Dominion water.
courses; and if Lynn and Lowell are to be
permitted to vote in Virginia, we should like
to know whether Lynn and Lowell are ex-
pecsed to vote for any policy that favors the
perpetuation of African slavery. We have
no hesitation in saying that Virginia, under
such state of things, would he worse off
than she ever was before the war, or could
have been Under Lincolns administration
What is the South in arms for, if, after long
and bloody struggle, and such generous and
heroic sacrifices as no people ever made be-
fore, the men who arc invading us, who are
butchering our sons and brothers, and threat
ening to consi gn the women Of the South to
the most horrible of fates, are to be permit

OF all populations in the world, the manu-
featuring population of New England is the
very last we desire to see In Virginia 1t is the
most ignorant, sensual, intermeddling, and i'm
moral of all the Puritan herd There is no
question of politics, theology, ethics, or sci
ence the New England manufacturers do not
feel themselves competent to solve. They
conceive themselves capable not only of manu-
featuring hollow brass trunk rivets and shoes
with brown paper soles, but they make bran
new constitution in day and turn out new
religion in night. To New England belongs
the honor of inventing every ism that has
ever distracted America The deluded vota
fies of Spritualism, Mormonism, Free Love,
are made up principally of its manufacturing
population. The idea that the rural popula.
ton Of Virginia-the most manly, generous.
refined population in the world-are to be in
vaded at every waterfall and every mountain
stream by hordes OF New England artisans, is
bad enough; but if in addition to this, they
are to WELD political power in this State, and
thus be enabled to extinguish and expel slave
ry from Virginia, we might as well never
have taken up arms; for if Lincoln had done
his worst he could only have inatgu-ated a
system for gradual abolition in the border

Manager Of the Richmond Theatre, on the
night Of the 9th uftimo, gave the proceeds
of the evening at that popular establishment
for the benefit Of the Hampton sufferers
The night was inciement, and the kind feel
ings of the Manager were not allowed to de-
velope themselves as fully as his generous
wishes would have desired. The writer
learns, however, that at some future day this
patriotic gentleman, John H. Hewitt, Esq
(and who has not heard of Hewitt, the popu- l.
lar composer, play writer, and1poet?) designs
giving another benefit for the same pur-
pose.
Two hundred and fifty dollars were, never

to, the proprietress of the house giving $50,
and Miss Ella Wren, Miss Jennie Powell,
Miss M johnson, Mr.. e. II. Dalton, and Mr..
H. Ogden generously throwing in their sala-
ries.
It must be gratifying to all who can feel
for the suffering ones of Hampton that the

During the early part of last week, Gen. A.
s. Johnston telegraphed Gen. Pillow at Co.
lumbus to send to the neighborhood-of Padu-
cab for his mother, sister, and niece, and have
them conveyed to Nashville.
Gen. Pillow Immediately commissioned d
Capt. Williams as bearer of a. dis patch to
Gen. Smith, for the above object, and accom-
panied by an escort of thirty men, under
Capt. Ballen tine, of the Shelby Light Ora
goons, with a nag of truce, the party start ted
on their mission.
At the suburbs of the city they were met by
a Federal officer, who escorted Captain Will
liams and Ballentine within the city, to Gen.
Smiths headquarters, who at once gave per-
mission for the ladies to depart, and ordered
a carriage to be placed at their disposal. The
two Confederate officers were entertained for
several hours by the Federal Commander,
when they rejoined their command, and were
again escorted by Federal officer to Capt.
Davis's, tive miles distant in the country,
where the ladies were stayin when par ting
alutations were interchanged, and the GAL
liant captains, and the ladies under their
charge, started on their return to Columbus.
The family Of Gen. Johnston have since ar
rived safely at Nashville.
