The Way TO Vote state Out.


The Richmond Erominer of May
2ath, claims in Virginia Secession ma
jority of one hundred and fifty thousand
The election being farce throughout,
its managers might as we'll have made
their majority three hundred thousand.
But, in point of fact, the true voters of
Virginia cannot have cast majority of
over one hundred thousand. The
whole vote polled iu the contests Of
1852, 1856, and 1860, were 1872 2,430;
150,307; and 167 7,223, exhibiting an
equal and natural gradation Of increase
That the last was full vote is clear,
10th from the fact that the contest was
lseated and close-Bell and Breckin-
lidge differing by but three hundred
and fifty eight votes, and that it was as
large,as she could cast by the ratio OF
her white population.
In this last election so many were
bauished, silenced or absent, that the
Just vote cannot have been one hundred
and fifty thousand in all Of them
about thirty five thousand live in the
Western region, of whom more than
twenty five thousand are known to have
voted against sece ssion, leaving, at the
most, one hundred and twenty five
thousand against twenty-five thousand,
or majority of one hundred thousand.
The remaining fifty thousand, then,
must have been the soldiers from other
States, who, against all custom and
sense, were legazized to vote. But it
matters little, since the whole thing Was
farce.

Attempted Negro Insurrection In Ar
The Memphis Bulletin of the 9Th
says:
A man named Fletcher, living in Co.
lumbia township, Randolph county,
Ark, divulged last week plot to the
citizens which he had discovered among
the negroes in that vicinity. The plot
contemplated the murder of several cit
izens whom they supposed had money,
and then to make their way to the Free
States. An investigation led to the de-
yelopment of the fact that certain ne
groes had proposed to give Fletcher
twenty dollars each to take them to a
Free State, announcing that their plan
contemplated the murder Of citizens,
the possession Of their means, and their
final escape to the North. The negroes
implicated by Fletcher, twenty ia num-
Der, were arrested A white man named
Perciield, found guilty of being an in
stigator n the affair, was hung, as was
also Fletcher, who was connected with
Percifeld.

The Irish in America and the War.

Tie Dublin Freeman publishes a let
ter from New York, in which Arch
bishop Hughes indicates the policy
which the American Irish Will pursue
in the present crisis. 1t is, he says,
fifty years since he took the oath of al
legiance to the American Constitution,
and no change has since come over his
mind as to his duties as q citizen. The
Government was then, as it is now,
symbolized by the "Stars and Stripes, y
which has been his flag and shall be to
the end. Archbishop Hughes words
imply sympathy with the North, an
adoption Of its quarrel, and belief that
the Irish in America hold the same
views as himself. The "Stars and
Stripes" " at the request Of Archbishop ?
Hughes, have been suspended from the
Reman Catholic cathedral of New Y York-.

1t was one cfshe grounds of complaiut
against the King of England by our
fathers, and placed prominently in the
Declaration of Independence, that she
had 'orsse,3 TIE merciless sorogcs aguias,
the people Of the colonies" 1t seems that
the traitors to-day have inherited the
savageism of the tories of the Revolu-
tiouary era. True to their instincts, the
rebels are s'arming the merciless saw
ages" anew. We copy the following
notice FROM the Petersburg (Va.) Ee-
press:
cit Will be seen by the interesting let
ter of our Norfolk correspondent. in this
mornings issue, that among the several
thousand Confederate forces now at that
point, is a body of three hundred Iadii-
ans. These stalwart sons of the forest
are from the county of Cherokee, N. c..
aud are under the skillful training of
Gen. Jackson, distinguished member
of the North Carolina Senate from Cher
okee, are now ready for immediate ac-
ton. A more formidable looking body
of men, we are informed by gentleman
who has seen them, never have been con-
eregated on this continent. Not one of
them is under feet in height and, be-
ing built in proportion, they look more
like modern Simpsons than anything
else to which we can compare them
The rifle has been their constant COM
paniou almost from infancy, and they
are confcssedly the best marksmen the
world has ever seen. They shoot run
ming or standing with uneIring certainty,
and load and fire with rapidity which
is really surprising Each man carries,
besides has rife, sculping knife and
tomoha,ok, and dshonld they encounter Billy
Wilson's cut hroats or Ellsworths Zou-
arc pet lambs, the Lord hare mercy on the
hirelings. for 1t is aeeH hnoaen the Chero
KEGS wM not 1t is gratifying to know
that the tribe numbers seven hundred,
and should their services be needed, they
can all be transported to Virginia in
forty eight hours. -
These sturdy savages would be for
midable. But it is we'll to remember
that the most brutal acts of the Indians
in the Revolution were perpetrated under
the lead of tories. And We have no
doubt true and loyal citizens would fare
better now at the hands ofthese Indians
than at the hands of their traitorous EN-
ployers. 1t did not need this blood
thirsty announcement to convince the
world that those who iustigate this un-
natural rebellion were essentially sava-
ges. Itmay, however, call the fact more
Immediately to mind.

Judge Lyons, of Richmond, in charge
of the Grand Jury Of that city, thus de-
fines the crime Of treason according to
the Virginia code:
Amy citizen or resident Of Virginia,
who now adheres to the United States,
giving the Government thereof or its
officers, aid and comfort, is guilty of
treason. Furnishing information or in
telligence, money, arms, ammunition,
provisions, or any assistance, whether
gratuitousIy or for reward, is giving aid,
and therefore committing treason
Even the attempt to do any Of these
things, though unsuccessful, will make
a man guilty of treason.

sanction whatever.
Austria gives equally warm assur, n
ces, and determination to give no coun-
tenance to the rebels
France is cordially with US in word
and deed if we need it.
Dispatches from Mr.. Adams say the
British Government is now as we'll dis
posed toward US as we desire.
The Ministry have given Mr.. Adams
a most friendly and cordial hearing, and
rebellion will hereafter find no sym

papers captured at Grafton. 1t was in
pursuance of these instructions that Col.

wrote to Col. Wiley to take the next

as possible.
RICHMOND, Va, May 25th, 1861
DEAR SIR:-W hen you get matters in

train some night, run up to Wheeling and
seize and carry array the arms recently
sent 10 that l,iacc by Cameron, the y. s.
Secretary Of Har, and use them in arm
ing such men as may rally to your camp.
Recover the State arms also recently
seized by the malcontents at Kingwood.
It is advisable to cut off telegraphic
communication between Wheeling and
Washington, so that the disafected at
the former place cannot communicate
with their allies at headquarters. Es-
tablish perfect control over the tele
graph, Cf ket up,) so that no dispatch
can pass without your knowledge and
inspection before it is sent.
If troops from Ohio and Pennsylva-
MIA shall be attempted to be passed on
the railroad, do not hesitate to obstruct
their passage By all means IN your pOacer,
crcn to the destruction Of the road and
bridges.
Having confidence in your discretion,
