THE STATE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF VIRGINIA.
10 the Editor Of the Wing:
II your paper of Dec Il you invite the attention Of
the authorities Of Virginia to the joint resolution adopt
ed by the Legislature Of Alabama declaring it the duty
of the several States TO guarantee the debt Of the Con
federae Government in fair proportion ana you earnestly
call upon the Legislatures OF Georgia and North Caro-
lima now in session. to do likewise and you express the
opinion that our Legislature when it assemblies will at
once "Wheel into line"
It is not intended TO deract from the merit Of the
patriotic and noble course Of Alabama but justice to
Virginia requires that should be known that her Legs
laure has ALREADY taken action on this subject BY ref
erahce TO the Journal Of the Extra Session in May last
vo will find that various resolutions presented the
House of Delegates the subject Of the currency, when
On motion of Mr.. Magruder Of Abemarie, special
committee was Oppoiuted, to which oil of said resolu
tons were referred. That committee soon reported
their resolution
|. penouncng the refusal to receive Confederate cur
reucy as giving aid and comfort to the euemy.
Q Declaring that Confederate notes should be made
legal tender
g. That the Confederate Stock should be guaranteed
By the respective States according to their Federal pro-
portions and that Congress be requested to bring the
subject to the attention of the Legislatures OF the sew
era States All three Of these resolutions were adopted
by the House Of Delegates the st and Bird also by the
Senate but the End was rejected by that by body.
Thus il will be seen that old Virginia, whose proud
boast it has SO long been to be first and foremost in so
many noble and patriotic deeds-has already taken the
lead and placed herself record recis IN eurd, on
this important vital subject OF strengthening and giving
confidence to our Confederate issues. For the slightest
reflection will satisfy any one that the question OF main
tanning the credit Of our Confederate issues is IDENTICAL
with that Of maintaining our armies in the field For 1t
is our only reliance for obtaining supplies 1000 elohns
munitions of war-let them be withheld, and army
is dsbanded and ruthless and demoniac foe page and
desolate our country, hAAfDAs'

Greeley for Peace.

The telegraph reports that Greeley calling for peace
and that he Acknowledges the inability of the United
States to conduct the war to successful issue. The
statement is rendered not improbable by the following
paragraph, which has already appeared in columns
"The Louisville Journal Of the I'd contains letter
from Greeley to Congress- asking for armisce. He
saws that 500 600 men have been killed in the Federal
army since the war commenced and still their point is
no nearer gained he also makes speech eC the same
character in New York, urging the people the moral
necessity Of an arEnissiee,"
