From the Valley and Northwest.

There are numerous and conflicting re.
ports as TO the status Of affairs in the
Valley aud Northwest, none Of which,
however, present our cause in an uniavor.
able light and all OF which tend to con.
finn the wel.founded impression that the
time is not remotely enveIored in the iu
ture, when that fair portion Of our her,
tage will be restored TO Virginia and the
Confederacy.
The enemy, though in large force, have
evidently Ielt the blow inflicted at Nc
Dowel, and are uneasy and alarme1.-
Gradually the heavy columns Of Banks
arc falling back before the cautious an
vance Of Jackson and Ewell, and the
Yankees manifes,lI feel that they have
but slight tenure upon the fine farms
which the fana,icism Of Greeley had
promised them in ,ha, rich section. Ma

not be called upon TO become permanent

have strong doubts rs to the propriety Of

Suffice it to say, for public qualification,
that lie is actively alert, and fully alive
TO the maupuvres Of his adroit and un.

where his services are most needed.

NOT ON 1T. Ill Tue war ID wAgeO IOl
any other purpose than freeing the blacks
it seems that Massachusetts Dot ION it,
She is mighty old commonwealth, but
goes to war with her own objects Of the
results desired. A fight to sustain the
government-to save the Union-to crush
out rebelllion-may be watchwords to rouse
the people, but Gov. Andrews does not 90 a
cent on anything but sustaining Gen. Hun
ter in his proclamation, and recognizing all
men, even black men, as bretheren. With
this object for the war, we are assured ''the
roads will swarm il need be with multitudes
from New England" All Of which will
more fully appear by reading the following.
She is first in war and FIRST in peace.
Response of Massachusetts, to the Call for
More Soldiers.
The following letter from Governor An.
drew of Massachusetts WAS received by the
War Department.
To the Hon. E. N. Stanton, Secretary of
War-SIR,-1 have this moment received a
telegram in these words, viz:
The Secretary of War desires to know
how soon you can raise and organize three
or four more infantry regiments, and have
them ready to be forwarded here to be armed
and equipped. Please answer Immediately,
and state the number you can raise.
l.. THOMAS, Adjutant.General.
call so sudden and unexpected finds me
without material for an intelligent reply
Our young men are all preoccupied with 9th.
er views. Sill, if real call for three reg-
ments is made, believe we can raise them
in 40 days. The arms and equipments will
need to be furnished here. Our people have
never marched without them. They 90 in
to camp while forming regiments, and are
drilled and prscticed with arms and muskets
as soldiers. To attempt the other course
would dampen the enthusiasm, and make
the men feel that they were not soldiers but
a mob.
Again, if our people feel thst they are
going into the South to help fight rebels
who will kill and destroy them by all means
known to savages as we'll as civilized men,
will deceive them by fraudulent flags of
truce, and lying pretenses, as they did the
Massachusetts boys at Williamsburg, will
use their negro slaves against them both as
laborers and fighting men, while they them
selves must never fire at the enemy's maya
zine, think they will find the draught is
heavy on their patriotism. Buff the Pres
ident will sustain Gen. Hunter, and recog,
nze all men, even black men, as legally ca,
pable of that loyalty the blacks are waiting
to manifest, and let them fight with God and
human nature on their side, the roads will
swarm, if need be, with multitudes whom
New England could pour out to obey your
call.
Always ready to do my utmost, remain,
most faithfully, your obedent servant,
JOHN A. ANDREW.

JEFF. DAVIS CoAcHMAN.-If there is any,
thing too absurd for the Abolition telegraph
and dailies, we would like to know what it
is. The latest nonsense is a halt column of
fine type, detailing what negro impostor,
pretending to have been jeff. Davis coach
man, related to his Republican "equal' at
Fortress Monroe. This niger knows why
johnson evacuated Yorktown, what jeff.
Davis thought Of his doing 80, and all that
Mrs. jeff. Davis thinks Of matters in general.
The nigger is also entirely conversant with
public opinion in Richmond, knows the grea t
Union sentiment there prevalent, and is, be
sides, we'll informed on the somewhat intri.
cate subject of Southern finances. The Gin,
cinnati Gazette gives the letter a CONSPICUOUS
place, with sensation head, and such Of its
readers as are asses enough 70 place any re-
lance whatever on anything that appears
in Its columns, will doubtless be M ch edi-
fed by the perusal. If the fool killer don't
come along this year, he will miss the best
season for his vocation that the world has
witnessed since the creation of man.

AN ENGLISH VIEW OF THE SLAVERY
QuEsrroN.-The following is from an article
in the London Times, upon the real state Of
the slavery question in this country. Is it
true9 Yes every word Of it) We mean
that it is true that the North occupies the
position stated by the Times: ut appears
that, Notwithstanding all that is said on be.
half Of the negro his real position is very
simple. He is the denizen Of country,
eight millions of the inhabitants of which
are willing to allow him to exist in the ca
pacity of a slave, and eighteen millions are
unwilling to allow him to exist there in any
capacity at all. The South forces him to
labor, but gives him food, clothing and a
home. The North insists that he shall no
longer be forced to labor, but refuses him a
home in the land of his birth, and, while
emaucipating him, denies him all the priv
leges of freedom.

The PRIvILEGEs OF THE MAILs.-We find
the following in the proceedings of the

"Mr. Carlile presented petitions in favor
of allowing democratic papers the same priv
ilege in the mails as the Republican papers"
Mr.. Carlile is an old,line Wing and Union
Senator from Virginia. 1t certainly seems
reasonable that democratic papers should be
allowed the same privileges in the mails rs
republican, unless the mails are carried for
the especial benefit Of republicans. We
used to suppose that the Post office was
public institution, of which all, without
regard to party. sect, color or condition
could avail themselves, provided they paid
the charges on the letters and papers. If

or sect, the quicker it is abolished the better
