The following excellent resolutions
were passed at a very large meeting of
the citizens of Portsmouth, Virginia, on
the Odd ult.
WHEREAS, A Convention of delegates
elected by the people of Virginia, as
sembled in Richmond, did, in secret ses-
sion, contrary to the expressed desire of
their constituents, pass certain resolves,
declaring the people of the State absolved
from their allegiance to the Federal Gov
eminent, and connecting them with So
called Southern Confederacy, and,
WHEREAS, The So called Southern Con-
federacy has waged reasonable war
upon the Governments of the United States.
without just cause or provocation, forcing
our citizens, contrary to their desire. to
take up arms against their country, in
volving us in ruin, and bringing destruc-
ton on our families and friends, causing
widespread desOatiOn in our midst, and
mourning at our fire sides-therefore be
it
ResOl0ed, That we do unhesitatingly
condemn the heresy of secession as being
destructive of the liberties of the citizens
tending to demoraliEe the community.
and the subversion of civilization and re-
ligion, and if successfully carried out
would be death-blow to Republican in
situations; and
BE IL further ResolUed, That we look
upon the Constitution of the United
States as sufficient guarantee of liberty
and protection to all the citizens through
out the country, and have seen no indi-
cations OF any attempt on the part of the
United States Government to subvert the
Constitution or set aside any of its pro-
visions consequently, we feel it our du-
| ty TO yield the Government hearty sup
port in its effort To suppress insurrection
and put down rebellion" most efTectu-
ally and in the shortest time and,
ResOlUed, That we believe a majority OF
the people of Virginia are loyal to the
United States, but have been deceived bV
ambitious leaders at home, and driven
into rebellion by an armed mob from
abroad; consequently, we earnestly in.
vite them 10 join us in the effort TO gel
rid of the horrible oppression from which
we have suffered for the last lively,
! months.

port of the retreat through Winchester;
"My retreating column suffered serious loss

Haunting a secesh flag at the soldiers.

The newspapers are publishing an item
saying that Christian county, which is
the third largest slaveholding county in
Kentucky, has six hundred men in the

The Utica IN. w. Herald makes these
very correct remarks in regard to the
mass Of the people in the recovered"
States
With the population of the States re-
covered to the federal rule, their return
TO loyalty is a conflict Of motives rather
than principles. The rebellion has no
principle capable of animating a popu-
latiOn to chivalrous endurance. 1t has,
however motives which, while their cause
still exists, are calculated to produce a
stubborn maintenance of uniriendliness
towar DIS the federal authority. These
motives appeal entirely to the apparent
interest, the selfshness and the passions
of the people, but have no Judgment in
the intellect and the higher sentiments OF
human nature. They have nothing in
common with those lofty impulses that
have animated the oppressed in all ages
to rise for the assertion of the unaliena-
BILE rights of men, and which are sup
ported by unconquerable natural in
| stincts. Sentiments of this character are
entirely on the federal side of the con-
test All the motives, in fact, for persis-
tence in disloyalty are drawn from the
social complications and spurious inter
ests created by the war itself, and by the
temporary prevalence of the rebel au-
thority. There is hardly one of these
reasons for adherence TO the rebel cause
at which peace will not strike death
blow. The death of disloyalty may be
lingering and slow but it will be as
certain as is the death of anything de-
priyed of its necessary nutriment

Fps. The news Of the past
few days, although it does not fell Of many
battles fought and victories won, is never
theless full of interest. The late order for
drafting three hundred Thousand of the mi
liiia intothe service of the Government i'm
mediately gives new hope for the future
and will presume, be hailed with pleasure
BY all loyal men, The sympathizers, how
ever, withsthe rebels, will tremble in their
boots, and no doubt think the order "u1-d
constitutional" and calculated to irritate
their Southern brethren" and make them
more desperate. There are few of that
stripe here--as well as at our own city
and beard yesterday thateue OF them said
in case be was drafted he would give $500
for Substitute. l. wish all such men
might be draf ed, aud they deserve to be,
for their officiating proclivities and their
extreme anxiety to worship tbe god Of
slavery "for 10 these mauy years." has had
no small influence in bringing about this
terrible state Of affairs Nothing for long
white has pleased me more than this new
order 1t looks like work. and as if the
soyernment had at last appreciated the
magnitude of the rebellion, and meant TO
crush il. By The time the six hundred
Thousand men are ready for service we shall
probably have an army Of at least million
of men, and then the rebels bad better
stand from under, and Johnny Bull will
perhaps be less inclined TO show his ieeth.
i The Presidents refusal to arm the blacks
surprises a good many, and will probably
cause some Of the more ultra 10 call him
pro-slavery, but | am willing 10 give him
the credit of knowing his duty as well as
any one can determine it for him, and for
/ honesty Ut purpose. We must remember
that some things which are lawful for him
to co may not be expedient. The love OF
4 party with paay seems far in the a.cen-
dancy Of their love of country. AS evil
dence of this, look at the Democratic ~
mass meeting at Indianapolis a few day s
ago. The bogus Democracy are 10 assem-
BILE in Milwaukee in this State on the third
OF September, aud shall not be surprised
if just such reasonable speeches and reso-
1 iuIons will there be offered and endorsed
az were at the meeting in Indiana already
| referred TO. OF course they will not be en-
dorstd by true and loyal Democrats, who
hope are largely in the majority, but the
secession spirit is likely to control the meet
ing although its possessors are much in the
minority ii9a tN
