James Gordon Bennett.

The surly, vcnal old scotch curmudgcon OF the
New York Herald, has again found purchaser for
Tic balance of his lifelong nquty in the person of
Abraham Lincoln. To suppose that hchad gone over
to the enemy, body and soul, as he now appears to
have donc without the price being paid, and that
too in hard cash, is greater absnrdity than COM
mon mind is capable of comprchending. We now
know where TO find him, which was not the case
when he pretended to be for us He was then at
work without n bonus, and We knew he would de-
scrt us the moment one was offered. The price must
have been good one, for he is bowling with all his
strength, as tho he was trying to redeem the time
that had been lost to the old government
WE'LL for one we say let him go. The devil has
had mortgage upon him for the last thirty years
and will soon forccose t,whcn the world will then
be we'll rid of a man, whose whole life has been n
base libel upon human nature. He never knew
friend but whom he would sell for money: and new
er cspouscd cause but what he could be hired to
abandon. Virtue never had Judgement within his
nature: and vice in its most hdcous dcformity, was
his creates; marketable commcdiiy. We have just
as good an opinion ofJamcs Gordon Bennett TO day,
as We ever have had since our first knowledge of
him, more than thirty years ago.

Virginia.

We have been looking for WEEKS, nay months,
with much anxiety upon the course of Virginia.
We had no doubts about her ultimate destination,
but we had fears that she would delay too long the
necessary action for her own honor and the well
fare Of the South. She has at last spoken. She
has at last told the dcv-bcgot, sin-concciycd, hell
hatchcd, God-forsakcn horde that controls and be-
sets Tie government at Washington. thus far
shalt thou 90, and no farther" We Lave always
been Of the opinion that if Virginia had acted
promptly with the cotton States in the outset, she
could have so controlled matters as to prevent even
the appearance of war, but we shall not reproach
her. for We we'll know what she has first had to
overcome at home. Nobly have her patriotic sons
battlcd for her honor and her rights, and molly
will they now be repaid. For near twenty years
old Virginia was our adopted mother, her soil was
the home of all we held most dear, our blood slept
the sleep of death beneath her sods, the children
Of our younger years were born within her borders
and all the associations of carly manhood were
clustered around her hearth stone, and though we
claim to be as much of citizen of South Carolina
as any man born upon her territory, yet we could
not help recurring to- and feeling for the position
and action of Virginia. She is with us at last,
and with her decision, and final action upon the
secession question: the last hopes of reconstrucing
the rotten old hulk that has just tumblcd TO pieces
must certainly be abandoned.
We shall indulge in no speculations, prophecies
or advice as to her future course, for well do VIC
know that her sons will now promptly redeem
what they have lost by delay. Her old veteran,
and young hero at Charleston can now go home,
and without shame or dshoncr, embrace, honor
cherish their good old mother in the hour of trial.
and shout with her in the day of victory. Go
back now friend Rufln and show our good old
State that you can give her the same patriotic ex-
amplcs that you have exhibited to us in Charles
ton. Go back now Col Pryor, for your voice and
influence can now be potent for good, and may
the God of battles go with you, and sustain you
and all yirginia's sons, in the arduous task OF
teaching lessons of good manners and common
sense, TO the rail-splting buifoon and his trucu-
lent mymdons at Washington City. Three cheers
for old Virginia, and give them with will boys.
