EASTERN VIRGINIA" Occasional" writes 10
the Philadelphia Press:
" II is n fact frequently verified, that the mos
violent assSixnts Of the Government, with few
exceptions, we're found among the owners OF
the soil in Eastern Virginia. Most Of these per
sons are now In arms under Jefferson Davis, or
are serving him Al they best can"
These "owners OF the soil' we're, OF course
also the owners Of the slaves and II Is that class
everywhere who have instigated this rebellion
The common saying Of the Ohio soldiers iu
Western Virgins, that where there is a slave,
there ID secession master" marks the geuers al
fact OF coufse, there are some slavshoIdcrs
who have been loyal from patriotism and still
more from the fear OF conseq quences 10 their
property, which is Of kind 10 be 80 peculiarly
hszsrded by civil convulsions But exceptions
prove . rule, and the fact tina, 90 few slave
holders remained loyal, shows how overpower
ing that impulse 10 rebellion must have been.
which has proved, in the great mass Of cases
too strong for the most obvious and pressing
restraints Of prudence.
Undoubtedly, majority Of the rebels are
nonslsveholders, bu. this Is a result of the
fact, known to the country BY years OF expe.
risnce, that the slsveholdsru enjoy at tho South
political and social ascsudsncy. which, in
completeness, has no parallel 10 the rule Of any
azistocrscy 10 the history Of mankind. 10 this
- in other cases, the non shareholders have
been the tools and victims Of the Shareholders
This rebellion is, iu every sense, 1.-The slave
holders rebellion That is the designation
given to Il by contemporaneous observation
and which II will btar 10 enduring history.
