l Norfotk, June lHh lS61. I MR. EDITOR Ut appears by the Republican Farmers Correspondence that you committed an error, in your paper of May s0th, by calling a person traitor who is against breaking up the Union and only fayors and supports the doctrine of peaceful separation.
 l You will readily perceive how you have given cause, for exceptions to be taken to the cogno- men when you reflect that firing at Fort Sumter is not considered in proper circles as an act of war, but only quiet amusement of the. Char lestonians, and their visitors to while away the | time The correspondent of the R. Farmer ought to enlighten Maj. Anderson as he is still labor ing under the mistake of supposing that firing at him and the men under his command was an act of hostility, when it appears that no offence to the U. s. government was intended, and it was only their way of exhibiting their love for "peace."
 If person for number of years consecutive ly, by his works, gives practical evidence of his faith in Jeff. Davis standard of ethics, and be- comes so imbued with his refined and delicate perceptions of truth and righteousness that he iSoio fuoAAASN " DIV HI JAuSLnohe uPoAs aAu Pi scribe rules of actions for, all protesting Christ fans; and if person by his acts shows himself unq,alifedly attached to Davis governmental system, whereby heproposes that gentlemen shall be allowed and protected in all the practices and be entitled to all the privileges and immunities that appertain to the state and condition of a gentleman of the standard F. F. V.s, as lately exhibited in their full developement; and if aper son exhibits steady, consistent and unswervng adhesion to all and sundry of Davis tactics, po- litics and ethics SC that it is fully evident that a shift of position of few degrees of latitude only would render the attanments and qualif- cations of the person thorougly availablein their legitimate sphere, then it would seem invidious | to make such use of local idiom as to dub per- son traitor when it is mere difference of lati- tude and the purpose so local.
 It is hoped that you will retract or at least qualify the term, drop unwelcome distinctions as far as possible and thus avoid giving person al offence, as the Farmers correspondence con firms McFingal's proposition that

He referred to the young men who were about to- leave us to fight the battles of our country and addressed to them few earnest words of counsel and ad- wise, and at the close of the services presented each of them with bible. They returned to Hartford on Tuesday with their number increas- cd to ten or twelve, among the number are the two young men from Virginia, one of whom has ball that lodged within few feet of him while in Va. which he is bound to send back with in- terest. it f

Fourth of July.

Two weeks from to-day is the s5th Anniversa- ry of the birthday of the American Republic. The day will be celebrated throughout the loyal States as it has never before been commemmo- P rated from the beginning. The exigencies of tae times and the crisis througb which our na- .sion isapassing, will command hearty recogni- ton, by an loyal people of the United States, of the blessings which have been for nearly a cen. suvy enjoyed by our Republic, and will draw forth z more universal response for The day we eel ebrate," than has ever yet been manifested
 It shouldSbe commemmorated first and fore most, with thanksgiving and praise to Cop, that He, in His mercy, has permitted us from so small beginnings to grow to such mighty power, thst He has so signally blessed and prospered our growth, and has led us out of the perils of infancy and the dangers and temptations of youth, and has brought our present perils upon us to be struggled with in vigorous manhood that He has given as Mss co'y7ics wherewith to prove our strength, and to purify and elevate us, while reminding us still of our dependence upon Him in whose hands are the destinies of nations, and through whom and in whom we shall tri- umph and be strong, since our cause is right eous one, and the war which is upon us is for the upholding of Freedom and Free Institutions ee Government
 Kgainthe occasion should be one of renewing our vows of fealty and loyalty to the Government under which we have lived and prospered so many years, and to register our VOWS, that so Long ss we have arms to defend, or lives to lose, or money to spend; they shall all be offered in the cause and for the preservation of our glori- ous Union.
 Nor should the occasion be one of less joy and publication than usual. The event which it commemmorates cannot be better celebrated than e old John Adams recommended, with pomp and games and shows, and we do no greater rev erence to the day than by making it wholly day of Jubilee.
 And 50 let tAis Fourth of July be celebrated In every town in the County, with every possible demonstration of loyalty, thanksgiving and ju bilee.
