The Chiynlry Of Virginia "Rob-
bed and InsnItpd ,,

Virginia is finding ont to-day. practically.
what States Rights are worth in the
hands of Jeff Davis. Even the once bold
and outspoken Richmond Examiner com.
plains and demonstrates in but a subdned
spirit compared ts its tone of olden time
whilst, careless of all demonstrations
whatever, the tyrants over her plunder
and dcsoate and kill without remorse.
Under date OF tho l4th, that print--after
mentioning that laws have been passed
to restrict the culture of tobacco goes
on to say:
The temper of our people revots at in
justice and arbitrary violence. They are
accustomed TO the enjoyment of their
rights unimpeached, and uHW yece,,tlv,
they have been strangers to wrong and iu-
suit from Government officials II they
are proprcly compensated and equally
dealt with. they will give all their labor
and savings to the Government. and give
them cheerfully; but If these are exaeted
arbitrarily, and with mSoicHcc and Insult.
they will only give nothing at all but they
will take etiectual measures to prevent the
minions of Government from obtaining
what they prowl through the country to
seize for mockery of payment. There is
feeling of resentment, deep seated and
widely prevailing tie best classes of the
community, against the Government, which
is held responsible for these and reckless
impresSmcnts and there arc high officers
in this goodly city who fancy they arc pop
ular IN the land, but whose names are held
in eNccration by the Satanic classes which
control public opinions"
We quote again: "Oilicial, igdiisea
robberieS never answered good purpose
III any country or any age of the world;
and of all countries and ages they suit ours
tho least. These arbitrary im-
prcssments of Govcnmett touch the peo-
pie 8 pride and sense of justice, and they
effected great natural change in their SEN
timents toward tho cause. Men who, in
a romantic and pious enthusiasm for their
country, have cheerfully given up their
sons to the battle and have assisted with a
sort of mourntul pride in the burial of their
offspring slain on the field of battle. have
had their feelings and temper toward tho
Government suddenly changed bv the rude
and rapacious action of the Government
press gangs
The paper from which we quote goes on
still further to complain with bitterness of
the course adopted toward the people of
Virginia, but what we have given will suE-
lice. What more angry complaints it might
have uttered had there been no Castle
Thunder" at hand, we shall probably never
know until the tyranny there is rubbed out
the veil lifted.

I)ebt per

Taking tho value of the real and personal
property of the United States, as ascor-
tanned by tho last census, to wit: SIG,l59.-
GlGOG9, we perceive that oven debt of
$4,000, 900, 600 will be but l2t, per centum
of that valuation. But if we consider, also.
that the products of labor, ascertained by
the last census, are almost as many millions
more, the proportions are greatly lessened.
Establishing, then, the fact of our ultimate
ability TO pay our debt per capita in the
actual value of the present real and per-
sonal property of the nation, we must not
look over the immense and onstant annual
additions to it by tho hand of labor, whether
directly or indirectly applied to production.
Tho exchanges of the commodities annually
produced in the United States, in the shape
Of direct internal trade, are estimated to
be fully ten thousand millions of dollars
per annum.

OLD ABE's NALENTINE.--'rh following is
going the rounds of the press. We don't
vouch for its accuracy, but it's "good
thing =
We hear that our worthy President
received Valentine lately, in the shape ct
picture of the American Eagle, with n
financial alusion. The Bird of Freedom
appeared to be engaged in picking up gold
coin, while at the part of the bird most re-
mote from his head there was pile of
"greenbacks," into which this coin seemed
to have been mysteriously transmitted.
| The President, who takes such things phi
osophically and always acknowledges pal
pable hit with grace and good natured
cheerfulness, went to his Secretary of the
Treasury to exhibit his bird, in order that
the latter might enjoy the joke with him
Mr. Chase, however was not disposed to
take the matter in the same spirit as the
President, but appeared to be much out Of
humOr at this hieroglyphical attack upon
his department Of the Government. In tones
in which there was slight admixture of
irritability, he remarked 10 the President
that he would like to know who had made
this unwarranted attacI, upon his financial
management of the affairs of the naIiUn-
that he feared that some of his subordinates
had got up this libel upon him, and that he
would give hundred dollars to know who
had done it. The President, whose question-
asking proclivities are we'll known, said that
the offer seemed liberal "but, Mr.. Chase"
said he, before | shall make up my mind
on this subject, will you allow me to ask
you one question:" Certainly" replied
the Secretary. 81 merely wanted to under
stand" said the President at which end of
the bird you propose to pay" "Et III
Brute" responded the head of the Treas
ury Department, "If | am thus to be
made the subject for ridcule, | must renew
my application to be relieved from my du-
ties as Secretary" "Oh, never mind, never
mind, Mr.. Secretary" said the President,
we can soon remedy all these difficulties.
All we have to do, after We have sup
pressed the rebellion, is to turn the bird
end for end, and let the gold and green
backs remain just as they are, and all will
come out right" The Secretary, restored
to good humor, agreed not to resign unless

CoURAGE.-Mere physical insensbility to
danger does not constitute courage. Nearly
all brave men have been finely organized,
and therefore of nervous temperament.

fastened the dropping Tag on high to raise,
And loving homes and friends, yet leaving all,

All honor be to you Our fathers fought
To win the freedom we have always known;

But nobly clinging to the just and right
May be the glory of the least of you.

But fight like men who have account to give
So shall the Highest be your strength and shield
And dying thus, your names through time shall
live.

Nor stain your manhood by an unjust decd
Respect the rights Of Others il you'd find
