It will be seen that leading Democrats in

ing Republicans against il. No one thought
Of making partisan capital out Of it one way
or another; but since the adjournment. a
popular prejudice seems to have been ava

are attempting to use It to the

The law was passed in accordance with the

SENATE CHAMBER, June 8, 1862.
Mr. Dean Sin Your criticism of the
President is hasty. am confident that, i
you knew him as | do, you would not make
it.
OF course the President cannot be held
responsible for the misfssance of subordlna
tes, unless adopted or tolerated by him.
And am sure that nothing unjust or un,
generous will be tolerated, much less adopt
ed by him.
| am happy to let you know that he ha.
no sympathy with Stanley in his absurd
wickedness, in closing the schools. nor again
in his other act of turning our camps into 1
hunting ground for slaves. He repudiates
both-positively. The latter point has oc.
cupied much Of his thought, and the news.
papers have not gone too far in recording
his repeated declarations, which I have Of
ten heard from his own lips, that slaves
finding their way within the national lines
are never to be reenslaved. This is his
conviction, expressed without reserve.

OlIUMW.A,
my tears fell fast upon its sunny curls.
Did the gentle sisters he loved have ont
thought Of the scene that was transpirins
on that night, while percl,ance they sat an,
talked Of him, their only and petted brother
in their far of home in Nebraska
"You will stay with me tonight, won
you ?" he pleaded again. ''Oh, you won
leave me to die alone r.
"No, frankie, I'll stay with you"
He was comforted, and became more quie
as clasped his hands and tried to sootl
him. Gradually purple hue overspread
his face. Now his lips became whittier, and
the large clear eyes grew restless. Wher
he could no longer speak, those eyes plead
for some token Of endearment, and each tim.
that I pressed . kiss upon his forehead, 1
look Of deep and earnest gratitude softened
the suffering expression Of his face.

Ma EDIroR;-As some people appear to
think, that If the new State is established,
It will increase their taxeS, in order to re-
lieve their approximations on this score,
wish to present to their view the following
facts and figures, as shown by the Audi
tors late report, which shows tie expen-
seg total up to September 80, 1852, TO be
Sl65,460 IL. This includes the, expense
OF two conventions, an extra session Of the
Legislature, aud other expenses on ac-
count OF the war. amounting to the sam
of ST5, so3 "a. The report shows q sur
plus In the Treasury on the Both Of Sep.
TENDER, of Sl20, 100 ~, and that only
twenty-nine Of the forty.eight counties in
cluded in the new State have paid any rev.
enue at all into the Treasury. Add the re-
port shows that in the year 1860, those 49
counties paid into the Tressuryat Richmond
$500, 060 80. Now, so far as money matters
aud taxes are concerned. will IL not be more
to the advantage of the Taxpayers and peo-
pie of West Virginia to have Government
of their own, at a cost of Sl65, 900 per
year, which would be paid ont and circu-
lated amongst themselves, than TO remain
as heretofore. and continue 10 pay into the

Of $780, 900 per year, and, likely to be
largely increased by war expenses? Would
