WI, ]. JACKSON, Secretary.
Ereachcry Under the Guise Of Pat'
riOtism.

In every civil war, there are two factions
one professedly 10 the interest of the Govern
ment, and the other in that Of the revolution
ists--which seek to advance their private in
terests at the expense Of the pnblic welfare.
They are generally composed of shrewd, cum
ming trAfickers, and Of scheming, ambitious
politicians. In the disaffected districts, they
go about to persuade the people that the Gov
eminent is Improbable and oppressive, while
taking good care not to expose their own persons
or property to any great risks. On the side of the
constituted authorities, there is also q class OF
the same kind of persons, who are brimful OF
patriotism, and as long as the Government
gives them fat jobs and fat places, are clamor-
ous for an enlargement Of its power as neces-
slry to the preservation of its integrity; while
their secret desire is only that it may have more
patronage to bestow.
II you happen to be citizen of disaffected
district, and feel disposed to scan the operations
of the revolutionists with some degree Of eau
tious vigilance, you will be denounced BY the
swiudiers and demagogues we have described,
as a spy and an enemy, and, If 9 popular tumult
can be raised against you, warned to leave the
country in few hours, or be subjected to the
loss OF property and perhaps life.
On the other hand, should it be your fortune
to live In loyal portion of the country, and
pride yourself in being the most loyal among
loyal citizens, and at the same time, believe it
your duty as an honest man and true patriot, to
keep watchful eye on the Central Govern
ment, warning your fellow citizens against every
attempt on the part of selfish and designing
partizans to make the Government assume
urbirsry, unconstitutional and despotic powers
under the old plea of public necessity, you will
be fortunate man, If those who are plotting
against the public welfare for their own selfish
advancement and aggrandizement, do not pro.
scribe you as traitor to the Government and
a,sympathizer with the rebels; and If they fail
to excite mob against you and destroy your
property and even life, it will be because the
public conscience has not been sufficiently de
bAuched by these pimpa of power and worship
ers of Mammon. Ft stt
The honest man is not afraid Of being too
closely watched by those who have dealings
with him. He likes them the better for their
vigilance and care, and has higher opinion Of
their honesty and proDpitude. So an homes,
administration of the Government, no matter
what the exigency of the times may be, will
never suspect the people Of treason or disloyalty

That the present tariff Of duties will not pro.

proposition which will command general as

Il was formed, indeed, with reference to q
very different condition Of affairs. The receipts

considerable improvement in the revenue may
be confidently anticipated for the current fs.
cal year, should no change be made In the rates
Of duties, IL will be inadequate beyond donbt,
TO the demands Of the Treasury which should
be provided for without resort to loans. These
demands, as has been already stated, will reach

more prosperous years. from well adjusted

expected from any tariffs.
The disorders Of business, incident to dis

gradually redressed, as new channels open to
receive the trade obstructed In former courses,
and the new employments engage the Industry
displaced from former pursuits. With this re-

some Of the States, and the uncertainty Of ef-
fective cooperation in all, which makes the EN-.
poymens of an extensive and complicated Fed,
eral machinery for the collection Of direct taxes
necessary and supplies the basis for the most
serious objection against that node Of levying
revenue. Il has been objected, and not without
apparent reason, TO resort TO direct taxes, at
this time, that, In consequence Of the disturbed

DEMOCRATIC C0hMTTTREs-The Democratic
County Committee met at one o'clock, this af
ternoon. They have been engaged in fixing
the apportionment Of delegates, but had not
settled upon the time for holding the Conven-
tton. From conversations with members of the
Committee, we judge that majority are in
favor of having the Convention held on the
Saturday previous to the Fourth of July. The
Committee is composed of twenty-seven men,
bers, nearly all of whom were present.
RAIsED.-The fag-pole procured by Messrs.
Funston & Pierce, noticed in our last, was rails
ed in front of the Drama saloon, on Main
street. yesterday evening. The pole is ITO feet
in height, straight as an arrow, with one splice
near the middle. It was raised under the SUI
perintendence Of Mr.. Thos. Flowers, an expe-
rienced ship carpenter, and the flag was soon
after run up amid the cheers Of the assembled
crowd.
We learn that the Martinetti Company sus-
tanned considerable damage at North San Juan,
last Monday night, on account of the storm.
The weight of snow which fell upon the cam
vass broke the centre-pole, causing considera-
BILE damage to the Pavilion. In consequence
of this accident they were compelled to lie over
one day and omit the performance which was
announced to come off at Forest city.
New PUBLICATIoN.-Dr. Levason, Dentist
of this place, has recently had published neat
little pamphlet entitled, "a few Words of Ad-
vice, or How TO Save your Teeth" Copies can
be had gratis, at the Doctors office, over Block
& Cos store, corner of Broad and Pine streets.
SToLEN.-A cash box, containing about
forty dollars in money, a certificate of deposit
on Birdseye & Co., for $l65, and silver watch,
was stolen from the confectionery shop of Mr..
John Eaton, on Main street, last Wednesday.
Mr.. Eaton cautions the public against pur-
chasing the certificate.
CHANGE.-The Washoe saddle-train of Mr..
Mau viii hereafter leave Nevada every Monday
morning, instead of Friday, as heretofore. On
the return trips, the train departs from Vir-
ginia city every Thursday morning.
THE Breckenridge County Committee met at
the Court House at two O'Clock this afternoon.
They had transacted no business of importance
up to three o'clock, when our paper went to
press.

New VIRoINA.-The proposed State Of
New Virginia comprehends superficial
area equal to that Of Maryland and Della
ware together, and includes thirty three
counties at the outset, aud is expected to
embrace forty seven when fully organ

thirty.three counties is 100000 whites
and G, 900 slaves, which show the manifest
destiny Of the new Commonwealth would
be that Of q free State. If carried into
operation, the new State will not lack the
elements of inherent wealth and prosper
ity. 1t is q splendid grain growing re-
gion it abounds in extensive forests Of
gigantic trees of valuable timber; it en-
braces the rich Kanawha camel coal
fields, coal oil wells snd salt works; it is
stored with iron and other minerals its
water powers, for driving mills Of all
kinds, arelunltimated; it is crossed by the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad it includes
the commercial and manufacturing city
Of Wheeling, and is bounded for two
hundred miles on the northwest by the
Ohio river. Ii is, in q word, Q fertile re-
gion Of mountains, covered with great
forests, table lands, hills and valleys, and
sparkling rivers, capable Of sustaining a
population of several millions, and one Of
the heslthiest regions in the world. As

Letter from the Hon. Joseph Holt
WASHINGTON, May 81, 1861.

j. f. SPEED, ESQ: My Dear SIR: The
recent overwhelming vote in favor of the
Union in Kentucky has afforded unspeak-
able qualification to all true men through
the country. That vote indicates that
the people Of that gallant State have
been neither seduced by tho arts nor
terrified by the menaces Of the revolution.
lists in their midst, and that it is their
fixed purpose to remain faithful to .
Government which, for nearly seventy
years, has remained faithful to them
Still it cannot DO denied that there is in
the bosom of that State band Of agita-
tors, who, though few in number, are yet
powerful from the public confidence they
have enjoyed, and who have been, and
doubtless will continue to be, unceasing
in their cndeavors to force kentucky to
unite her fortunes with those Of the rebel
Confederacy Of the South. In view Of
this and Of the well known fact that sew
eral of the seeded States have by fraud
and violence been driven to occupy their
present false and fatal position, cannot
even with the encouragement Of her late
vote before me, look upon the political
future Of our native State without q
painful solictude. Never have the safety
and honor of her people required the ex.
ercise of 30 much vigilance and Of 80
much courage on their part. If true to
themselves, the stars and stripes, which,
like angels wings, have so long guarded
their homes from every oppression, will
still be theirs; but if, chasing the dreams
of mems ambition, they shall prove false,
the blackness Of darkness can but family
predict the gloom that awaits them
The Legislature, it seems, has determin.
ed by resolution that the State, pending
the present unhappy war, shall occupy
neutral ground. Imust say, in all frank
ness and without desiring to reflect upon
the course or sentiments Of any, that, in
this struggle for the existence of our
Government, l can neither practice nor
feel neutrality. would as soon think
of being neutral in contest between an
officer Of justice and an inoendiary ar.
rested in an attempt 10 fire the dwelling
over my head; for the Government whose
overthrow is sought is for me the shelter
not only of home, kindred, and friends,
but of every earthly blessing which can
hope to enjoy on this side Of the grave
If, however, from a natural horror ol
fratricidal strife, or from her intimate So
cial and business relations with the South
Kentucky shall determine to maintain
the neutral attitude assumed for her by
her Legislature, her position will still be
an honorable one, though falling far
short Of that full measure of loyalty
which her history has SO constantly illus.
trated. Her executive, ignoring, as
am happy to believe, alike the popular
and legislative sentiment of the State,
has, by proclamation, forbidden the Gov,
ernment Of the United States from
marching troops across her territory
This is, in no sense, q neutral step, but
