Whatever may be said of tina Union
feeling and Union men in other parts OF
the South, am inclined 10 believe that in
the parts of Virginia through which we
have passed, 1t does not amount TO much,
There are plenty of men who are sick of
the war, who would be glad to have it end,
let it be as it might; who would be willing
for the sake of peace to have the Union
forces triumph, but il is not because they
love the Union. Again there are those
who are fleeing from the State ostensibly
to get clear of being impressed into the
rebel service, but really 10 get clear of the
ravages of war. If they really had regard
for the Federal arms, why do they run from
them, instead of shoulderiug musket and
doing all they can to restore the Union and
suppress the rebellion?

the same admission to u.s. There are MANY
who declare themselves in sympathy with
the. rebellion, although they have never
held AN office nor voted for secession. The
error which seems to effect the minds of

Is paramount TO the General Government.
They say. 'as long as Virginia was in the
Union, we were for the Union when,
however, 1t became part of another Gov.
ernment, We ceased TO owe allegiance to
the Government at Washington for re

OF Estates rights" which has been SO inqe-
niousiy instilled into the Southern heart
/ by the wicked authors of this rebellion
seems to have poisoned it to its lowest
depths.

our camp, and infesting the country zen.

The enemy's cavalry have been at New
Market, only seven miles SOUTH, while
many are of the opinion that Jackson viii

force. If so, an engagement may take
place at any time, as we will be but twen-
ty-hve miles apart. But our army win be
