The Visit OF the French Minister to Rich
mond.
The French Minister arrived ut Yorktown
Sunday morning lie seems unusually inter.
esed in the progress Of events,
The special correspondent Of the n Y Times
furnishes his version of this visit, though we
have not much faith in its accuracy There is
no doubt that both England and France have
desire that the war should cease, and iraternal
relations be re.established between the North
and the South, inasmuch Us tho war has very
seriously damaged them in their commercial
interests, besides destroying the value of their
old wooden vessels, and it may DO possible that
Napoleon has intimated 90 much 10 the rebels
But We cannot credit that even Napoleonic i'm.
pudence has thought OF debating to tho United
States Government the terms On which this re-
hellion should be suppressed. We shall put
down the rebellion in our own way, however,
whatever France and England may choose 10 say
or do in the matter Government stocks are
above par and rising every day, and tho Veto
res just ahead will carry them still higher
We have money enough, arms enough, soldiers
enough, iron-patei ships enough to take care
Of the domestic rebellion that is now being
driven to ice :" last ditch " and don't tire any
foreign aid nor shall wo suffer ourselves To be
frightened from furnishing rebels by the sugges-
uon that France and England can't permit it -
We have parsued our own methods thus far,

THE REBEL FLAG.-Just as the rebels are get,
tlng 50 as not to need flag they have settled
the vexed question what il shall be. 1t is thus
described in heraldc language:
On the field gules (red) salter argent
(white) Norman shield azure (blue) charged
with sun or yellow.
In other words, it is Il red field, crossed by a
oar Of white from the opposite corners, with a
blue shield in the centre on which is something
yellow, to symbolic the sun. The Richmond
Eraminer is not entirely pleased with it, as it
rs not pleased with anything pertaining to the
rebellion just now 1t thinks horse ram
pant would have nobly designated the eques-
TRAN South or bull lowering his horns
would have fay characterized is courage,
strength, and defensive temper ; either would
have become beloved aud peculiar national
type The Eraniner slagorte, however, is a
black and white flag, to designate Civilization
and Christianity butt upon Slavery.
We can but think that both the Examiner
and the rebel Compress have missed the true EN-
blem II should be something Of the fugacous
sort, some animal swift OF loot, with an i'm
mense precpiee just ahead, and COO, 600 hunts
men justin the rear. There would be some sig
nihcance in such imagery.

DESERVED PRoNorloN. We find the follow

paper Of recent date
Captain Lyman, Of tie Eleventh Indiana,
and recently Division Quarermaster OF General
Lew. Wallace staff, has superseded Captain
Baxter as chief Quartermaster Of the forces un-
der Gen. lalleck.
CAPT LYMAN is a son Of Charles Lyman Esq.
Of this place. He has been in the army we
believe from the outset Of the rebellion, and re-
ce,yed one promotion after another until he has
reached the present responsb position. That
he enjoys tie full confidence Of his superors is
abundantly evidenced by his promotion to a
post Of the very first importance in the grand

The public will be surprised at the dispatch
from Gen. Mcclellan to Secretary Stanton which
appears among our news items. 1t seems hard
Iy possible that there is not some mistake about
it. The statement that the rebels outnumber
Gen. Mcclellan certainly surprises u.s. as we
think it will everybody. The army under Gen.
Mcclellan must number 10000 men, and while
it is possible that the rebel force exceeds that
number, we have not hitherto been led to be-
lieve it. Franklin division, reported at from
Is, 900 10 20 900 men, from McDowel's column,
had just arrived at the scene OF action when the
rebels abandoned their works Nor can we any
better understand the expression that the enemy
are to be held in check unless he means
that he will check their retreat, until the origi-
nal plan by which they were to be captured can
be carried out.

The peOpleof this section are surprised
81 the dtsppsition of the Convention Is re-
latiou % the free State clause 10 the Con.
sttutlon. The people want free State
and have for years.
Leaving the subject ip silence as propO.
Sed, 10 regarded here as ansassumpttOu on
the part OF the Convention that the people
are not capable of deciding this question.
Thus following in the footsteps of the var.
ious s'soVereigu. ConVenti0nsr famous In
the Southern States.
0fcoursethe g0nBtitdtion will be submit.
ted to the people for ratification. That being
the case why not submit this also, put It
10 the form in which Dir. Battelle proposed
In bis resolutions.
Submit the question free or slave, 70 the
people, and Whatever their decision, the
friends of the measure will be satisfied.
We know If this clause is not inserted 10
the Constitution all ourwork, expense, con-
VGnhons, elections, &c., is for nothing, aud
why We know there is no possibility of
the new State being admitted by Congress
unless this free State clause is iuserted.-
Does any sensible man suppose the present
Congress, constituted as il 10 by a Republic.
can majority, will stultify themselves by
making two slave States out of one No
And again. We have the history OF the
past TO convince US thatwe have no hope If
this tree State clause is not inserted.
What was all that war and excitement
about the admission Of Kansas a few years
ago, bot this principle, free orslave, or the
extension of slave territory and political
power? The case will be similar. We
know, the result, therefore take warning
from The past.
As to the question Of expediency,we ali
know, now or never. The condition of
Western Virginia is we'll known to the peo-
pie of the Southern States. They know
the "institutiOn" has but a feeble existence
in this part Of the State; that it is for
reasons beyond slavery we seek division.
The making West Virginia free State
will not therefore embarrass them in re-
storing their States TO the Union.
II this movement was in Eastern Yir-
ginia the cry of ezpediency might have
some excuse
Tho glorious results that will spring
from making this a free State it is not me-
eessary to portray. Again, we say submit
this tree State clause in SOME form to the
people add we do not fear tho result. They
will pronounce for Free State in thunder
tones.
We can then go to Congress for divis-
lou with confidence in the result, and if
we should fail there. va will have the con-
seriousness of knowing it was by no fault Of
ours. A VIRoINIAN.

1t was, we presume, most lncomprehen-
sible to our readers Who looked over tie
the Convention proceedings Yesterday
morning, how it came 70 pass That the
free State men In the Convention, and
there are a majority Of such, allowed
themselves to be so completely 0at-gener-
aled as they were on Thursday. And yet
We can see how II was done. Mr.. Ollie
made 1 suggestion, Mr. Brown, of Ka.
paWha, the strongest apti-free State man
10 The Convention, caught it up. His ac-
quieseeuce seems to have thrown The
free State line into confusion. Before
they had recovered, Mr.. Brown had them
completely surrounded, and II their re-
treat is not now cut Of, ii is so near it
that they have precious little to go aud
come on.
Does anybody suppose that the people of
the new State are SO green or SoiudiGer-
ent as to suppose that a clause providing
that no slaves shall be brought into the
State after the adoption of the constitu-
tiOn has any meaning init Does anybody
suppose that anybody else ever eoatem-
plated that either before or after such adop-
tion slaves, would be brought into the new
State. We answer, nos for there is no man
in The State who could suppose such a
thing, What then does the clause mean
which Ut. Ollie suggested and Mr. Brown
caught at SO quick. Itmsans nothing
Mr.. Brown with his ssgacitY saw It In
moment. He knew that It was the
cheapest bargain ever he made in his
life when he took up Mr.. Dille's sug-
gestiops. He had seen the vote OF the
previous day on the motion ito lay on the
table" and he knew that in full con-
ventiou the free State had a msiority. BE
knew that they could carry their point
Like skillful general he brough: his tao
tics to bear upon them.
But enough. We most devoutly trust
that tue whole cause is not to be thus sac.
ri6ced. After all thssIoug patience of the
people with this question, it would be a
bitter moekerY to deprive them of the
privilege of atleast voting yea or nay upon
1t. Are the Convention afraid to trust the
people7 Are they afraid even to submit
the question in schedule, seperate und
apart from the constitutional That is
what we want to know.

Moral "AId and comfort.,,


1t is n very trite remark that there are
oEteusevelalw aysOf doing the same thing
of accomplishing the same end-aud the
way chosen is matter altogether Of cir
Cumstauees. There are moro ways of be-
ing dislOyal than Of Publishing paper in
Richmond or Norfolk or being a soldier in
the secession army-or being an avoWed
seeeSsiOniSts in Western Virginia or else
where. As much harm can be done by iu-
direction as by open cooperation. A
newspaper for instance that sets itself res
olutely TO work to misrepresent the sentt-
ment of the loyal section of the country
to destroy the confidence of people in that
sentiment, and which day by day appeals
constantly to all their lower prejudices, is
capable ofmueh more mischiefrhau though
1t opeuly and assuredly declared It's secret
sympathy with the enemies of the govern.
ment. a paper that can end no better use
for Its columns than dtShtug up everlasting
never ending old balderdash about tsAbo-
litiouists," instead of lending n free aud
generous support TO the struggles Of The
nation to preserve its life, is lost indeed to
any patriotic conception Of the duty Of a
journalist In times like these. The iutlu-
enee of such Gpaper is to array old feuds-
EaetiOuiEe the people, divide their sympa-
thies, Withhold their means, aud give moral

.rho Omoinl news from North Caro-


We have news this morning through our
own source, of the battle at Roanoke
Island. It does moro justice to the rebels
themselves than their owa accounts. It
also gives the number Of our killed aud
wounded. Instead of 800 killed on our
side, as the rebels stated, we had AZ, and
instead of 1000 wounded, We had I4O.-
Their own killed wss less than ours, and
their wounded about the same. The af-
fair was not near as bloody as was sup.
posed, although undoubtedly there was
hard fighting. Our number of prisoners
is fully as great as the Norfolk and Rich
mOud papers stated il. We were nearer
three than two thousand-more than
enough TO redeem all our brave brethren
who are now in Southern prisons. The
balance is on our side of the ledger now,
and this is great item of good news for
those who have friends in the hands of
rebels.
The rebels complain of treachery in
their camp. They say that farmer ufthe
island pilOted our forces to the exact place
and the only place where we could have
landed. 1t makes very little differences
whether this is true or not. Enough 10
know that We struck the right place. Blu,
tits all the worse for the rebels If it i.
true that treachery Is so rife among them
1t confirms what has been said all along
that hundreds and thousands in the service
of the rebellion will deal it n blow when.
ever gpod opportunity offers.
But disafrsctiOn is not alone confined 10
North Carolina. Our dispatches give &C.
counts of more and still louder walls from
the Tennessee secession papers. They al
init a terrible and gloomy condition o.
thiugs there. The people of East Tennes.
see still maintain, they say, an ''idOlatrou.
devotion to the old Union" And more
than that, people in Memphis, which wat
supposed to be the soundest place in the
State, have openly rejOiced ut the late
news. So also have they rejoiced, the
papers sAy, in many other Of the town.
and villages. Our accounts from the
Tennessee river are admitted. 1t is toe
true, say the rebels, that our gun-boat.
were received with cheers and welcomes
by the people along the river aud at Flor.
enee, Alabama. Aud all this news is
summed up by the Richmond papers a.
gloomy" And sure enough IT is. And
that's the kind OF news they will get from
this time on or we vastly miss our mark
Tho masses of North Carolina, Tennessee
aud Alabama deSpise the rebellion in tbeir
souls, and at the earliest moment they: will
turu on it with all the dire vengeance o
an outraged people. We have but &c
strike one or two more yet deeper aut
deadlisr blows at the black heart Of tb,
rebellion and the whole Infamous and ex.
eerabis body will reel and fall to the
ground.
