Return of Reason.

The Washington National lntelligencer, of
Wednesday, says The citizens of Portsmouth
and Norfolk, who for year past have been rebel
ridden, avaied themselves of an opportunity tho
other day to listen TO the counsels Of reason aud
patriotism. The Hon. JOSEPH SEdAR, Represen-
tatiye in Congress from the loyal portion of that
district, visited Portsmouth on private business
aud was solicited by the people to address them
upon their present political condition. The great
warehouse hall at the railroad depot-where
Henry a. Wise made famous Whig speech in
l840--was filled at short notice, and the large
auditory listened for three hours, with the ut
most interest and the most silent and respectful
attention, to the long prohibited sentiments Of
loyalty to the Union. The audience did not tire
OF the subject, and repeatedly begged the speaker
to proceed with his remarks.
A procession was afterwards formed, and, with
band of music, accompanied the orator who on
The same evening went over to Norfolk and there
addressed strong Union speech to another
large crowd
So much were the citizens impressed with the
striking truths uttered by Col. Segar, that many
OF them repaired to Geu. VOile's quarters, and
there took the oath of allegiance to the United
States Government
The truth seems to be that the people Of Viz
