The Virginians.

The Washington Republican, the semioffil
ciaI organ of Abraham Lincoln, has the fol
lowing in praise for the "rebes' Of the Old
Dominon:
If there has been any decadence of the
because the present generation has proved
itself either weak or cowardly, or unequal
to the greatest emergencies No people,
with SO few members, ever put into the
field, and kept there so long, troops more
numerour, brave, or more efficient, or pro
luced generals of more merit, in al the
kinds and grades Of military talent 1t is
not worn out and effete race which has
produced Lee, Johnson, Jackson, Ashby and
Stuart. 1t is not wornout and effete race
which, for eighteen months, has defended
its capital against the approach of an enemy
close upon their borders, and Outnumbering
them thirty to one. 1t is not worn out
and etfete race which has preserved substan
tial popular unity under all the strain and
pressure and sacrifices of this unpnecedent,
ed war. Let history as was said of another
another race, which records their unhappy
fate as a people, do justice to their rude
virtues as men, They are fighting madly in
a bad cause, but they are fighting bravely.
They have few towards and no traitors.
The hardships of war are endured without
murmur by all classes, and the dangers of
war without finching, by the newest con
scripts while their gentry, the ofsboots of
their peculiar social system, have thrown
themselves into the camp and field with all
the dash and spirits Of the European noblesse
of the middle ages, risking without apparent
concern, upon desperate adventure, all
that men value, and after a generation Of
peace and repose, and security, which had
not emasculated them, presenting to their
enemies a trained and intrepid front, as Of
men born and bred to war;"
These are extraordinary statements, conf
ing as they do from an ultra Republican
paper

Esquimaux Architecture.

AS the days lengthen, the villages are
empied of their Inhabitants who move sea-
ward on the ice to the seal hunt. Then
comes into use the marvellous system of arch
itecture, unknown among the rest Of the
American nations. The fine pure snow has
by that time acquired, under the action of
strong winds, and hard frosls, sufficient CO.
herence to form an admiral light building
material, with which the Esquimaux master
mason erects most comfortable dome shaped
houses. A circle is first traced on the
smooth surface of the snow and the slabs for
raising the wall are Gu, from within, so as to-
clear space down to the ice, which is to
form the floor Of the dwelling, and whose
evenness was previously ascertained by prob
ing. The requisite to complete the dome,.
after the interior of the circle is exhausted,
are cut from some reighboring spot. Each
slab is neatly fitted to its place by running
fenching knife along the joint, when it
instantly freezes to the wall, the cold atmos.
phere forming an excellent cement. Crew.
ces are plugged up, and seams accurately
closed, by throwing few shovels full Of
loose snow over the fabric. Two men gen.
orally work together in raising house, and

door and creeps out, when his task is over.
The walls only three to four inches thick, are
sufficiently translucent to admit very agrser
able light which serves for ordinary domesr
tic purposes, but if more be required, winr
dow is cut, and the aperture fitted with a
piece of transparent ice. The proper thick.
ness of the walls is Of some Importance. A
few inches excludes the wind, yet keeps down
the temperature so as to prevent dripping
from the interior. The furniture, such as
seats, tables and sleeping places is also form
ed of snow; and a covering OF folded reindeer
skin or seal skin renders them comfortable
to the inmates. BY means of ante chambers
and porches, in form of long low galleries.
with their openings turned to eeward,
warmth is insured in the interior; and social
intercourse is promoted by building the
houses contiguously, and cutting doors Of
communication between them, or by erecting
covered passages. Storehouses, kitchens and
other accessory buildings may be constructed
in the same manner. and degree of conve-
nience gained which would be attempted in
vain with q less plastic material. These,
houses are durable, the wind has little effect
on them, and they resist the thaw until the
sun acquires very considerable power.

Upon this, sincerely believed to be an act

military necessity, invoke the considerate
Judgment of mankind and the gracious favor

Emancipation Proclamation.

In our telegraph column will be found
the so long anticipated proclamation Of
emancipation by. the President 1t will be
recollected that when this act was urged
upon him by a delegation of abolitionsls
from Chicago, he himself characterized it as
a "Pope's bull against the comet" In this
view, suggested by himself, it is a mere
subterfuge, a piece of clap'trap to conciliate
the aboltionists at the expense of his self
respect as man and in derogation of the
dignity of the Chief Magistrate of the
Union. The best comments upon this docu.
ment which we have yet heard is, that i,
abolishes slavery only where the Govern,
ment has no power and protects wherever it
has the power to abolish. And this sense
less illumination is uttered under the plea of
military necessity! Where the necessity ?
The country must first be conquered before
it can take effect, and where the country
is already conquered the status of slavery is
preserved! If it means anything, it means
servlle insurrection-it means to stir up the
negroes to war upon the whites-to an in
discriminate slaughter of women and chill.
dren. This plea of necessity is cowardly
acknowledgement Of our own weakness-a
confession of our inability to cope with the
whites in honorable warfare of man to man
that we cannot whip them in the field,
but are forced to resort to savage allies as
the British did to their everlasting shame
and infamy in warning with their American
colonies. The radical abolitionists have
boldly announced this to be the purpose OF
the proclamation, and it was in Difference to
their views exclusively that it was issued.
The false pretense can no longer be set
up that this is not an Abolition administral
ton. The line of distincio ion is clearly and
distinctly drawn. Every supporter Of the
policy of the administration is now con-
tessel abolilionist. The mask is entirely
thrown off, and the "military necessity
is but the pre- determined policy of the party
from the beginning. The exceptions made
in the proclamation 'for the present." is but
another subtelfuge to be swept away by
another military necessity. Whence the mil
itary nee esSity for the abolition of slavery in
the loyal District Of Columbia, and the
various other unnecessary abolition acts out
of which this military necessity was created?
No man n ed be deceived now in making
his choice Of parties-he ONLY has abolition
on one side and democracy on the other.
