counts. Its not TO be supposed the enemy
has selected these plantations as the scene
Of his great stand, without good reasons.
The first and most apparent Of these is,
that Westoyer landing is perhaps the
very best grounds on the James river,
and the stream for miles up and down
being broad and deep, affords both an
excellent sea room and anchorage for his
gunboals and transports. But this is,
by no means, the only advantage Of the
position. On the west side Of Berkeley
are impossible ravines, running from
near the Charles Road on the north of
James river, making successful attack
from that quarter next to impossible.
"Withn a quarter Of mile from
where these ravines begin, Herring Creek

eastern banks extend the heights of Eve,

Gen. Pope.

The appointment of this distinguished
General to the command of the army of
the Shenandoah, is a master stroke of
policy in the War DEPARTMENT. He is
placed at the head of forces composed of
some of the beat material 10 the service,
and Gen. Pope comes to them with u
prestige that will inspire the utmost con-
fidence. He has been efficient in prose-
cutting the WARM Missouri and Tennessee
under Gen. HalIeck, and W. doubt not
but that the same success will attend him
in Virginia. The uneasiness which has
so long asita,ed the public mind in re-
gard to the operations in the valley of
the Shenandoah will now give place to
unlimited confidence. = National Tele'

WEST VIRGINIA.

Virginia, is indentical with the bill before
The House on the same subject II diff.
lcrs from Wade's bill in not including
the Valley Of Virginia in tho limit Of the
new State, and NOT requiring new Con.
slitutional Convention. The bill as pas
sed requires the late Wheeling Convcn-
ton to re assemble and insert a clause in
the Constitution reading-"No person
within tho limits of this State, after
March 9TH 1868, shall ever be held as a
slave; nor shall slave be permitted to
come into the State for permanent resi-
denco therein; provided, that all slaves
within said State at the time Aforesaid,
under 10 years ofage, shall be free when
81 and all over 10 and under 81 shall
be free when a5,''
When this clause shall have been rat
lied by popular vote, the President
shall issue proclamation stating the
fact. and 60 days thereafter the ac; of
admission shall take effect. Garlic
made violent opposition TO the passage
of tho bill in this shape, He wanted
the Slavery question let alone. His col
league (Willey) was equally warm for
admission under these proyisiops.-
Notwithstanding this unexpected oppo-
ssition of Garlic, as we'll as Trumbcll
and others, tho bill passed by hand
some majority, 1t is thought its chan
ces in the House are pretty good.

want our prominent men now filing

the same patriotic principle. Let this
be done, and Lot the people, from whom
proceeds all power, place themselves up
on the same platform resolving to sup
port no one in any station, either public
or private, who does not conscientiouSly
pursue, by prcccpt aud example, tho
same conservative course, and the Union
will be restored to its pristine grandeur

Rebel Barbnrism.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, writing from Yicksbprg
says:
Among the many acts of barbarism
which the rebels have practiced upon
our troops the following deserves prom.
nent place. One oil Commodore Por-
ter's mortar boalman fell into the hands
of a regiment Of Arkansas troops day
before yesterday. He made no resist,
anCe whatever, but fudidg himself a
prisoner, yielded quiet submission to
his fate. His captors, instead Of treat
ing him as prisoner of war, marched
him into the woods about half mile
distant, tied him with his hands behind
his back TO a tree, and deliberately cut his
boucls open ,cith DIRK knife. 1'henthQ
cat his heari OUT and hung il on a tree
The unfortunate victoms agonizing cries
for mercy were drowned in the unear
thly wells Of the southern fends, as they
cried out, "Cut his heart out !" Tear
the Abolition heart out of him." etc.
Let those who preach Cancellation think
of this-and it is . fact which cannot be
gainsaid, as learn it from men who
witnessed it, and who have little sympa-
thy for the cause Of Unionism, A de-
serter who came into our lines yesterday
confirms every word of it, and says that
Gen. Van Dorm intends TO give no quar-
ters to any of our men, who may fall in
to their hands, ] hope this fact will be
made fully known to our forces before the
commencement of general engagement
that they may make their calculations
accordingly.
