The Union Feeling al the South.
We begin 10 fear that have mistaken the ex-
tent of the Union feeling at the South. We have
been under the impression that sort of terror
regned at the South, which prevented the express
sion of the Union feeling, and that all that needed
bring that Union feeling to the surface and make
it effective the presence of Federal troops to
protect Union men from secession violence. The
opinion of some ot observant friends in the
army in Western Virginia is caculat ted to disspate
that notion we have been so fondy cherishing.
One of the Coones writes to relative in this city
that The idea that Western Virginia is all Ubion is
a great mistske; that nearly every man is sry,
and hat the troops in constant danger. Mr..
George p. Buell. the correspondent of the
Cincinnati Times, says, in his last letter:
"You must conclude, because Western Vir-
ginia has supplied for the Union cause some brave
and true soldiers, that the Union sentiment is any
stronger than it ought to be. But few persons in
| this section publicly express their real sentiments;
but there is a cold formaty, cautious use OF lam
guage, hesi alton all occasions to act as guides
and convey typographical intelligence, suspicious
and sinister look, betokening hat the beart 'eeis
| most hen the lips move not. The Mead0wsye
| female wished the devil had us ALL; there are
thousands of others in Barbour and the adjoining
| counties that, from the bottom of their hearts,
| commend us to the Apocalyptic gentleman of the
cloven foot, bat have not the courage to speak
sThere are at least fifteen hundred voters in this
county but only two or thIee votes were cast at
the late election for members of the Legislature to
be organized under the State OF Virginia.
The inhabitants alarmed at the presence oil the
soldiers, and only small number ventured 10 the
! precinct at Phiilippi''
Such infor IN alton is far from encouraging. If
there is such a universal feeling at the South
against the Federal Government and the Union,
; our prospect of subduing t4em is not fatterng
as it looked some time ago.
From The Democratic Standard, ". TT
SubjugafiOn of Sovereign State.
Lincoln, in his proclamation, assured the people
that the war for which he wanted IS 000 soldiers,
was to be waged only in defence of Washington,
and for the recovery OF the property OF the United
States.
1t is now waged for the conquest and subjugation
this moment, conquered State. She Is held by a
military force. A military force now occupies the
city OF Baltimore, and governs it by martial law,
in defiance of the Constitution and laws of the
Union. What spectacle is this for the American
people to contemElate! How far are we from an
absolute despotism?
From the Cincinnati Timesl
Opinion of fir. Cameron.
The conduct of Cameron is disg ting. There is
no honor in him and he is disgracng the position
he holds. He ought to be removed He Will hang
to the Cabinet as long there is dollar to stea
if he is not kicked out, as be ought to be.
Protest of the New Hampshire Legislature.
Nnety-oue members of the House have solemniy
protested against the appropriation of 81 600 900
for arming and equipping State troops. In their
protest they say:
reunion, and if So in what manner arms are to
achieve that object. We have asked whether it
means the deSolation of Southern homes, the
throw of Southern institutions, and the destruction
! of our there.
