GOV. LETCHER's MESSAGE.

The Legislature of Virginia met in extra session
on Tuesday last The Message of Gov. Letcher is
chiefly devoted to the discussion Of the subject of
providing adequate force for the local defence of
the State against invasion aud raids. He recon-
mends the organization of force to consist of all
bodied persons between the ages of 16 and
60, not in the Confederate service. This organiza-
ton should embrace foreigners except those tenn
porarily sojourning in the State.
He recommends the repeal of the law exempt
ing persons of certain religious denominations from
military duty, it is class legislation, and there
fore substantially violation of the Constitution
Stringent regulations should be adopted to pre-
vent desertion and struggling. 1t should be made
the duty of the local militia to arrest any officer
or soldier found abroad without furlough.
The time has come when it is absolutely indis-
pensabe that nothing should be omitted which
promises the protection of our people and of our
cause: We must expect reverses and be prepared
for them. Instead of discouraging they should
only stimulate us to increased exertions, call forth
redoubled energy and inspire us with more deter
mined spirit and courage. Virginia went into this
conflict after serious and calm consideration Her
people have never quailed, nor have they MUIR
INJURED under the repeated wrongs and aggresions
they have suffered. She was not the first to enter
this struggle, nor will she be the first to sue for
peace-unless for peace accompanied By an un-
qualified recognition Of the independence of the
Southern Confederacy.
He recommends the repeal of the law directing
that the old issue Of the Treasury shall not be re-
celved in payment of the State taxes. He dis
cusses the financial questions at some length, and
argues that the consequences of the legislation of
Congress at their last session on this subject can
not fail to be most DISASTROUS
The Governor pays tribute to the memory of
Gen. Floyd, and submits an eloquent eulogy- on
Lieut.. Gen Jackson
The Extortioners denounced in scathing
terms, and Legislative action recommended against
them. . .-. ....
The finances of the State are in highly pros
Porous condition. He suggests that the State in
'terest in inter nafimprovements &c, be sold and
the proceeds applied towards the extinguishment
of the State debt

MIss1ssIPPIANs RETUaNING.-When Gen.
Johnston fell back from jackson, Miss, it will be
remembered that there alarming reports of
wholesale assertions from the Mississippi regi-
ments A General officer belonging to that army,
and to whose command most of the Mississippi
regiments belonged, states that these absentees
were all back at their posts and that his command
was stronger now than it was when he joined Gen.
Johnston to aid in the relief of Vicksburg. 1t is
gratifying to know that this is the rule of action
throughout armies. Men are returning to
their colors at their countrys call. Is it any won
der, with honor and patriotism before them, and
disgrace, and perhaps the death of a deserter be-
hind them?
