when it would be resumed. He replied,
whenever the State Authorities guaras-

agents, without regard to their political
opinions The authorities at Jedersos

graphic dispatch. He refused to receive
it, replying that they might pay their

patch came again, prepaid, and brought
the required guarantee, aud also the ~
surance that the captain under whose en-.
couragement the outrage was committed
had been removed Next morning the
mail commenced running again. Gov.

VIRGINIA..

Virginia has piueked down vengeance
upon her own head. Had she yielded
to tho loyal counssls Of Caldwell and
Carlile, of the Western counties, and
been true to the Union, or even followed
tho more timid advice Of Bolts aud Sum
mers, and occupied neutral ground, the
storm Of war would have passed her By.
But she has thrown herself under ths
lead Of Pryor, Garnstt, aud other young
hotspurs, who, dragging the more cow
srdly and discreet Hunters aud Letchsrs
in their train, are precipitating her into
the gulf of perdition. Nobody pities her.
She passed her Secession Ordinance in
midnight conclave, keeping it . secret
fror. the world, so that the traitors might
steal the Federal arms, ships, and muui-
tions Of war, at Norfolk and Harpsr's
Ferry. She has compelled her people
to go through the solemn fare, Of rstify-
ing her rebellion at the polls, by voting
for the ordinance at the bayonet's point.
She now proposes to hunt out the friends
of the Union in the Eastern counties,
and compel them to battle against their
old flag, or flee from the State, or be dec.
imatel by the sword. And, at Alexan-
drla, he has just crowned ner iufsny ny
numbering brave officer for pulling
down rebel flag which foated in full
sight of the National Capital. Long the
nursing mother Of Treason, but without
the courage to act openly and strike
boldly like her rebel sisters on tho Cult,
this cowardy old hypoerite is about 10
receive just retribution for her crimes.
