Capt. Seymour, of Anderson's command
in Sumter, was actively engaged yesterday
in disposing the aatllery in the defensive
works in Virginia to the best advantage.
Several fresh regiments were posted in the
entertainments, lying on their arms all night,
but nothing was seen of the rebels who
have not yentured beyond Centerville.
1t is reported to-day that the rebels are
evacuating Manassas and moving to Rich
mond. About noon a long train of bag.
gage wagons were seen going toward Ma.
nassas from the enemy's lines, showing that
they were at that time preparing for q
backward movement.

The resolutions adopted by the Legislature
of Virginia, that nothing in the intentions of
the Government of that State calls for the spe.
cial defence Of the United States property within
its limits, or of this capital, are honorable to the
loyalty and dignity of that old Commonwealth,
and, what is equally important, they speak a
language the sincerity of which is vndicated by
the popular vote taken there on Monday.
These resolutions imply just and severe
condemnation of the acts of the seeded States
and especially Of such acts as the seizure of the
mint at New Orleans.
1t is not from any doubts of the patriotism
of the constituted authorities of Virginia. or of
a majority of her people acting through legal
forms, that precautions of the kind referred to,
have become advisable. Virginia is loyal, but
there is faction in it which is disoyal, Of
which Ex-Governor Wise and the Richmond
Enquirer are the exponents. Even New York
las its Fernando Woods, and it implies no inn
peachment of the patriotism of States, to guard
against the violent outbreaks of some of their
people. In fact Virginia has common inter.
est with the United States, in such measures
as will destroy the power of her disafected cit.

The speech Of Mr.. Boulgny, the French
Creole Representative of New Orleans was

but decided language, he denied the authority
Of the Louisiana Legislature, or Convention, to

not by withdrawal, but by resignation. But
not even by their command, would he yield the
Obligations of his oath to support the Constitu.

FORT PICKENS.

The two thousand loafers, under the name of
the militia of Georgia, Alabama, and Florida,
who have been assembled about Fort Pickens,
but always we'll out Of the reach of the guns of
that fort, are dispensing, as we predicted they
would, as the provisions seized at the Pensacola
navy yard are disappearing.
This investment Of Fort Pickens is the first
military attempt Of the new cotton empire, and
its failure is not auspicious for the future.
The Columbus (Ga.) Recorder says:
"The impression is strengthened by advices
from all quarters that the idea of attacking
Fort Pickens for the present has been aban.
doned. OF course there will be disappointment
at this change Of policy, and many Of the vol.
unteers will return home disgusted and cha
grined. But we are inclined to think that the
sober second thought of those who ordered
the concentration of troops there is wise one,
and will end in the Souths obtaining her de
mands without bloodshed. A heavy expense
has been incurred, and perhaps our enemies at
the North, misunderstanding the real state Of
the case, may find occasion for rdicule in the
withdrawal of the force without an assault on
the fort But the South can afford to let such
taunts pass unnoticed. Our Southern Govern
ors can hardly be expected to engage in the
new business of warlike operations without
committing blunders at the start but they have
at least tested the readiness and ardor of our
people to engage in any undertaking in the
cause of the South, and they will learn by ex
perence how to ecouomize and act effectively"
We hardly see that these Southern Govern.
ors can be reproached with a lack of economy"
They have equipped no troops, except with
arms stolen from United States arsenals, and
they have maintained no force about Fort
Pickens, except upon stores seized at the navy
yard. The whisky bills may have been large,
but there can have been no extravaganza in
anything else.

A Position DETIYED.-The States Of yester-
day, says in reference to a certain Virginia
politician:
"He is anxious to exhaust all rational means
for an adjustment of our difficulties, before he
favors separation. In other words, he occupies
precisely the position occupied by ourselves"
This means, that if things remain as they
are, and unless some "a3juStment is obtained,
the States farors separation" We had judged
SO, from the general character of its articles.
For ourselves, we are opposed to disunion,
whether absolute and per Sc, or contingent.
There is no existing cause which justifes it,
and, in this community, at least, everybody who
threatens it, whether positively, or because this
or that thing cannot be accomplished, should
be sternly discountenanced.

THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.

The Union victory in Virginia on Monday
was so overwhelming, that it will take some
little time to appreciate all its effects.
1t is in vain that its signifcancy is attempted
10 be impaired, by saying that some of the dele
gates elected to the Convention as Union can
didates, are for disunion if certain things are
not done here in Washington. Undoubtedly,
such delegates may be found upon the lists,
but the people voted for the best Union men
who were in nomination, and have unmistaka-
bly, declared, besides that there shall be no Sc.
cession without their own assent to be given
hereafter.
The persons who attempt, in this way, to
make the result in Virginia on Monday, sub
stantially meaningless one, have so befogged
themselves with their own useless disputations
about this and that platform, that they are to-
tally unable to comprehend the terrible earnest.
ness with which the people have grappled with
the real question of secession, with all its pal
pable results of public and private ruin.
Beyond a peradventpre, the party in Virg ginia
which desires disunion per Sc, which believes
that Virginia is compelled to secede because
the Gulf States have done SO, the party, in
short, of the Hunters, Masons, and Richmond
Enquirers, is hopelessly beaten. If this party
succeeds hereafter, it must succeed by recruit
ing its ranks from those who are now for the
Union, but who may hereafter be made to see
reasons for favoring disunion. As q present
question, disunion is stone dead in Virginia.
The tide has turned, and secession can no
longer be mistaken for the popular side.
We believe that Virginia is for the Union, out
and out, through and through, and will remain SO
until some reason to make her otherwise, shall be
given by the conduct of the incoming Admins
tration, contingency which will never happen
But this belief, instead Of being reason for
refusing fair requests from that quarter, is the
strongest reason why they should be granted.
The Union men of Virginia have displayed an
energy and power, which should encourage the
policy of such measures as will enable them
TO hold their ground, and consummate their
the whole tribe of secessionsts and plotters
who have ruled so long and so recklessly in the
Old Dominion. No measures looking to that
end, which are consistent with Republican
principles, should be refused by Republicans
Justice, generosity, and gratitude, combine tc
dictate this policy.
Virginia has saved the country, in all proba
bility, from the calamity of civil war. The
people of Virginia have had the sense to see
that the way to preserve the Union was to re
, main in it. They have not been led away by
idle dreams Of reconstructing what their fathers
constructed so well and so durably. They have
perceived, not that Virginia must 60 out be
cause the Gulf States have gone, but that the
Gulf States must come back, if Virginia refuses
to go. That is the true philosophy of the case
which the people have understood and acted
upon, Notwithstanding all the specious appeals
of Senators, who have been trusted only to be.
