Virginia.

TIE Virginiq House Of Delegates met
on the nh. Gov Letcher's message was
received and read. We annex its chief
points:
The Governor says it will be matter
Of arrangement for aitertimcs that 81
Government rs great and noble rs ours
was. should have been sacrificed to the
fell spirit OF wild and reckless tanaticsm
that u large portion OF the people
should be so thoughtless and reckless ms
to make war upon a minority, and drive
them into revolution tor their defense
and preservation. But however this may
he. it is certain that the Union is dlssolv-
ed and equally certain we can never
again be united; and the man who preach
es the doctrine OF reconstruction, is
traitor, and deserves traitors doom.
In reference TO the admission of forty
FIVE counties o! Virginia as a State bv
the Federal Congress, the Governor says
it clearly indicates that the North no
longer entertains hopes of subjugatng
the South. He says
II cannot suppose, that in any treaty
of peace that may be agreed upon, Viz
ginia will ever recognize this division Of
her territory. or ever assent to a treaty
that will strip her Of any portion of her
domain Whatever settlement may be
made Virginia will never give up one
foot of her territory"
He advises the toleration of charitable
feelings. and harmony and concord among
the States of the Confederacy.
Extorlioners he says are associated, in
the word of God, with idolatorS, the COW
etous, thieves, drunkards, etc, and makes
action on the part OF the General Assem-
bly, indispensable to put down these mer-
cenaries and punish extortion as crime.
Mai. Gen. Floyd ana State Line are
complmented by the Governor for val
liable services. In reference to prisoners
captured by Floyd, lie says, Eight will
he held as hostages for the gallant Ear
vona. who has been in confinement since
July. 1862.

MOBILE. Jan. S.-The New Orleans Del
ia, of the 9th has been received at Poncha'
toula. 1t contains the following:
About two o'clock on New Years morn
ing four rebel gunboats came down But-
falo Bayou into Galveston Bay, and ran
alongside of the steamer Harriet Lane
one or each side. Texas sharpshooters
then commenced an assault on her and
soon succeeded in killing all the gunners,
and Capt. Wayne Wright. The assail-
ants then boarded her after a desperate
struggle, and captured her, The rebel
gunboats were lined and fortified with
cotton after the manner of boats in New
Orleans, known as the Montgomery fleet
The Westfeldt, under Commodore
Kenshaw, determined not to be taken
and after consultation, the officers and
men agreeing, they blew her up with all
on board, including himselE-only eight
escaping.
The balance Of the Yankee fleet and
one transport escaped.
Two coal boats at the wharf, together
with two companies of the 42d Massochus
etts regiment were captured.
A Federal vessel was placed outside o
the harbor to watch the Harriet Lane
and prevent the Coniederates from send
inr her 10 sea.

The Washington correspondent of the

1t is rumored that Lincoln isabout totake
the field in person in Virginia. The
HeraH says, Lncoln's proclamation is the
last cord Of the Jacobins, and will deter

success. He says it is impracticable, un'
wise, ill-timed, and full oi mischief.

LATEST FROM THE FIELD.
QUARTER PAST ELEVEN. A. Mt is re-
ported that the whole rebel army have
evacuated Murireesboro', taking off with
them all their prisoners. stores. &c, and
falling back towards Shelbyville. Re-
port saws the rebels are destroying our
wagon trains on the Murfreesbolo' Turn
pike.

is received. 1t saws the following officers
are killed: Coils. Stern. Mckee. Almonde.
Roberts. Walker. Harrington and John
ston. The Herald's Louisville cores
pondent. writing on the lst, says: Our
city and State is again in excitement
about the rumored approach OF insolent
invaders. The notorious John Morgan.
who is again in the centre of our State. is
heralded as a full grown Major General,
commanding a Division. He has taken
possession of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad between Bowling Green and
Munfordsvile, cutting off all communi
cations with the army of Nashville. -
The correspondent says the local papers,
as usual, predict that Morgan is getting
in trap, and his whole force will be bag
ged; but having heard the story so often,
he does not place any confidence in it,
and regards the successful raids into Ken
tucky bv Morgan, and successive failures
of the Federal army in Virginia as neces-
sary evils, that must be borne with as
leniently as possible.

Another Scheme for Peace.

union embracing the whole of North

calls it, the constitution of the United
Ii - og North America Each reiiub-

and institutions, and be mutually sepa-
rate from each other as now, except in
such matters as might be delegated to
the nations Union; that there should be
a federal diet to make and execute trea-
ties and conventions with foreign pow
ers; that all the coast Notifications would
be considered common defenses; that
revenue should be obtained by duties on
all foreign importations-the same
amount at New York as in New Orleans,
Vera Cruz and Montreal; that internal
customs should be abolished and forever
prohibited. and free trade be established
all over the continent. and other details
are gone into of similar character. His
letter is published in several of the
Northern Journals unaccompanied by a
word of comment.

A Repentant Yankee.

An Ohio paper gives an account OF the
suicide Of man ramed David Lamb,
who recently cut his throat with a razor
in consequence ofhis conviction that the
political course he had pursued was one
of the causes Of the present war He had
voted with the radical abolition party.
and aided, as he supposed, in bringing
the country into trouble. The weight Of
this crime so pressed upon his conscience,
that he was co,traired, like Judas, to
take his own life. It would be an meal
culable blessing to the world if q iow thous
sand Of that pcstlenr party could heeore-
" conscience.stricken rs to induce them
to 90 out and hang themselves. We
fear, however, that the good example Of
this rcpentant Lamb will notbe generally
followed 10y his co-mborers in crime.

France and the Confederacy.

France and the Confederacy.
A dispatch from Petersburg says the
Philadelphia Inquirer of the 7th is recelv'
ed. 1t contains no general news OF i'm
oortance. The Paris correspondent OF
the Commercial, under date of December
18th, SAYS there is no doubt of a secret
league betweeh Slidell and the French
Government; Slidell being naturally IN
terested in affairs in New Orleans, where
his property has been coniscated; and
the French Government looks upon Lou
isiana as almost French province.
The arrival Of the French fleet at New
Orleans, was received with great JOY by
Southerners, and official journals an
nounce the fact in terms which would
have been offensive to any other Govern
ment but the United States. They say,
although indications for the movement
are that while better feeling is growing up
towards us in England, the contrary is
true of France.

The Eastern and Western States,

There are certain antiquities existing
between those two sections which are not
very favorable to close union. In CON
sideraton of these antiparhics, a Rhode
Island editor says: "Olr belief is, thGt
New England alone will be lett out in the
cold. We said years ago, that if scpara-
ton came, a new Conrederacy would fol-
low, and that it would not embrace New
England. We have not changed our be-
lief on this point Indeed 1t is every day
strengtheneG; and we entertain no doubt
that the West itself would object to our
company if it should be offered"

1Ks Ricmond Examiner has an article
upon East Tennessee and its Resources,
from which we take the following
The intelligent men in the South are at
length beginning to appreciate the beau
ties and excellences Of this delightful
country. The copper mines from which
immense fortunes were made during the
past five or ten years. the intermnable
coal beds, the rich lead veins and pockets,
usually rich in silver ore, are, with all me
tails and ores and saltpeter in eXhaustless
quantities. to be found in almost every
neighbOrhood in East Tennessee. Then
the water.pOwer Of this section Is unriv.
allied in the South. The streams that leap
from the mountain sides would furnish to
an enterprising people sources Of incal.
culable manufacturing wealth. The at.
tention of capitalists throughout theSouth
is directed to the limitless resources oI
this section; and, with good fortune in
the present war the time is not distant
when. amid these mountains and along
the torrents that flow from their sides
cotton mills and manufacturing establish
mentr will spring up, developing the
wealth andprosperity ol a heretofore ne
elected portion Of the South.

Sick of Abolition Rule.

History is philosophy teaching by eX-
ample" is the text upon which the Gin
clnnati Inquirer reviews the principal
events in American history for the last
two years. The article charges all the
troubles that have belallen the country
to the Abolition party, and concludes:
Shall we continue travelling on in the
policy winch the Abolition leaders have
marked out? Shall we longer continue
to be deluded 10y their hopes and predlc.
lions? Is it not mgh time then, tor the
people to arouse and reflect upon the
programme that is before us? We have
been gong it blind long enough. We
have shut our eyes too long upon the er-
rOrs and abuses of the men IN authority.
Is there any reason to believe that we
shall reach a successful ConsummatiOn
until there is change in our national
policy? To have been wise and thought
iul, and prudent and patriotic, to have
dlssented from the popular humhug' ol
! the day, has been to incur the appella'
ton Of traitor, from parti2ans, who, be-
! fore God, we religiously believe to have

our national troubles. The sooner we

| these Abolition leaders-the sooner we
reject them totally-the sooner we re-
trleve our steps the better for the coun
/ try, and the sooner will our eyes be glad
dened by peace and unity in the land.
