permanently disabled in tie same way. We
are sure 1t would meet the unanimous ap.

sers from Governor Lsteaer, and = com
uunication from the President OF the Con
ssdsracy, giving the assurance that the
s,my will not leave Virginia until every

r.. l.nsuass Of tho President 10 clear and
emphatic.
We are proud Of the sp,rit Of our Govern
~ants. Confederate and State. relative TO this
e,sssiou Of holding and defending this State
% The last The army will not abandon the
sesrsd coll Of Virginia. That has bsen made
the battle ground, and on that must ths enemy
sssAblish his superiority In fair fight before 1t
yin b abandoned to him. The evacuation
Of the ssa-coss. positions and cities becsme a
necessity. There was no avoiding it, IN con-
sequence Of the immense advantage enjoyed
By the enemy In his possession OF the entire
Navy Of the United States. AMI the material
and mechanical skill for the rapid construction
Of iron clad gunboa.s, while We had neither n
uavy, nor the material and the mechanical
Ioecs, 70 enable Us to compete with him IN any
sense. X 10 tue, we had the Virginia; hn'.
besides her, nothing Her destruction, and
he questions 1t involves, suggests matters OF
debate which afford neither satisfaction nor
beosat now to discuss. Our inability To meet
the enemy ON the water, As general question,
vas clear and indispu,abis, and the with.
drswA from the sea unavoidable.
Second to Virginia is the defence of this
city, for manifold reasons, and 1t is in keeping
With the general purpose Of both Govern
uents thu. they should resolve to the utter
most to defend Richmond. All the means in
the power of the State and the Confederscy
are pledged to this, and we may be assured
that the enemy will not be allowed to CRAFTY
the prominent desire Of his heart, to hector
and dominesr over the inhabitants OF this Tar
famed and beautiful town, until every means
u exhausted.
Tho President nobly takes the stand
that though Richmond should fall, there
are . plenty of battle fields yet in Vii
sinis 70 fight for the cause for twenty years
Tho sentiment is ~ truthful as patriotic. The
Confederate Government assures Us that
the Old Dominion is not to be given
up. God forbid that 1t should 1t would be
Giving up much mors than Virginia. The
cause would be- indeed, itself well nigh sur
rendered in that event. the Government is
not only JUS, but wise, in its determination TO
stand by Virginia to the last
