The Woes Of virginia.

We have before us a Richmond paper
Of a late date containing a report of o
recent debate in the Legislature Of Yir-
GINA on the subject of "impressments,"
in which, incidentally, Mr.. Anderson, Of
Rockbridge county, dealt with the JEFF.
Davis tyranny after the following man
ner
1--WE were now living" he said, "un-
der a tyranny as complete as that which
was exercised by the Lincoln Govern
ment, and it was owing solely TO the no.
bic patriotism Of our people that they
have submitted as they have. What
right, be would ask, has a Confederate
f1iHtioaary 10 seize his property 0itlout lap,
and 10 all0iC one halt Us value for its COM
pmsalion There was no law that su-
thOrized the Confederate Government TO
take property, and so far as it withheld
compensation, it was robbery and oppres.
sion, and he, for one, was not willing TO
submit to it, If we were to have tyrAn-
ry, it mattered not whether we have it
from one Government or from another;
but no free people would submit TO ty-
ranny from any source"
The speaker went on TO complain that
the sub-agents Of the Confederate Gov
eminent were not of that character such
as should command public confidence,
and that in fact the Confederate author,
tiles" acted 'as if the people Lad seq
arate interest from the Government, the
Government separate and hostile inter
est from the people"
These angry complaints, we repeat,
come from the Legislature Of Virginia;
and are found in the report Of the de-
bates. Turning now q the proceedings
of the Confederate Senate of the same date,
in the same city Of Richmond, we find
another debate on the same subject Of
"impressment," which the reader here
must understand has reference to "im-
pressing" or seizing Of property. Glaue-
ing through these proceedings, we find
that Mr.. Semms, of Kentucky, offered
an amendment to the Impressment bill,
providing that no property shall be
taken for public use al price less than
that paid for Thy the owner prior TO the
lst of March" which was disagreed to
''ayes 3, noes 81" Next the notorious
Wigfall, and afterwards Yancey, came
forward with amendments designed to
soften the dire infction, but failing with
their amendments, the Confederate Sem
ate refusing to loosen its hold upon the
property of the people, all that it would
conOede being upon an amendment by
Haynes of Tennessee, that certain Con-
federate Commissioner" should be au-
thorized TO seize what we wanted, and
decide upon the compensation TO be

Idaho and Arizona.

The boundaries of Idaho territory are,
on the west, the line of Oregon; on the
east, the 9th meridian on the south,
the AID, aud on the north the 10th par
allel of latitude. From east to west it
extends over twelve degrees oflongitude,
the larger portion Of it lying on this
side of the Rocky Mountains Fort
Laramie is situated near its southeastern
angle. The territory comprises about
$4,000 square miles.
Nearly all the great rivers which flow
from both sides of the mountains take
their rise in this territory. Among
these are the principal afiluents Of the
Missouri and the Colombia, including
the Salmon river, which is now the seat
of very considerable mixing industry.
1t is known that gold mines exist on the
eastern slope of the great mountain sys-
tenn which intersects that country; but
for agricultural purposes tie region may
be set down as comparatively worthless,
The capital of Idaho is called Bannoch
City, and has nearly 1000 inhabitants,
according to commonly received reports.
The name suggests q Scotch origin, but
is said TO be aboriginal, being marked
BahneSk on some old maps. A large
emigration TO the new territory is ex-
pected to take place early in the spring.
The name Montana" which it has
been several times attempted 80 fasten to
territories in the great back bone region,
was again rejected, the aboriginal
"IdahO" having been substituted Therefore.
The Territory of Idaho comprises the
Gadsden Purchase proper, but the western
half of what was New Mexico, the boun-
Diary between them being the 1O9lh
meridian, (32d west from Washington.
The greater portions of the valleys of
the ella and Colorado are included in il.
The region forms block nearly square,
containing fully 100000 square miles.
Its white population was never probably
10000, and at present must be consider
ably less For agricultural purposes the
country may be set down as the most
worthless on the continent. The Mesilla
Valley, noted for its fertility, is left with
New Mexico. The reported wealth of
the silver mines is enormous; but whether
reality will ever equal expectation re-
mains to be seen.
The barrenness of that portion of the
continent is caused by the absence of
rains, rather than any defe ct in the soil.
1t is believed that the two rivers which
drain its whole surface, with parts of
Utah, New Mexico, and Nevada, convey
a less volume of water to the sea than
that of the Hudson at Albany. That
belt of country is situated between the
regions which are watered either by the
rains accompanying the trade winds on
the South, or by the winter storms which
pass downward from British c, lumbia
as far as the southern part of California
But Arizona comes in for only few of
the drippings, SO to speak, in ordinary
seasons, as do parts of New Mexico and
the States Of Chihuahua and Sonora.

Patriotic Letter from a Kentucky
Officer.

JoHS NJ, ,HARLAS, commanding the
Second Brigade, Third Division of the
Fourth Army Corps under General Rose
GRAMS, has resigned his command on ac'
count Of the death of his father, which
leaves upon his hands unsettled business
demanding his immediate attention. In
rendering his resignation to General
GARFIELD, Chief of staff, he uses the fol-
lowing language, which i0 that Of gen.
uine patriot:
deeply regret that am compelled at
this time 10 return 10 civil life. It was
my fixed pWp,s Sc to remain in the Fed
eral army until it had eifeotually sup
pressed the existing armed rebellion, and
restored the authority Of the National
Government over every part OF the ma
ton. No ordinary consideration would
have induced me TO depart from this Pur-
pose. Even the private interests to
which have alluded would be regarded
as nothing in my estimation, If l felt
that my continuance in or retirement
from the service would to any material
extent affect the great struggle through
which the country is now passing.
If therefore | am permitted to retire
from the army, beg the commanding
General to feel assured that it is from
no want of confidence either in the JUS
tice or ultimate triumph of the Union
cause. That cause will always have the
warmest sympathias of my heart, for
there are no conditions upon which will
consent TO a dissolution of the Union.
Nor are there any conditions, consistent
with Republican form Of Government,
which l am not prepared TO make in Or
der to maintain and perpetuate that
Union.
l have the honor 10 be, General, very
respectfully, your obedient servant

Col. Com'dg I'd Brig, Sd Div, 4th Army
Corps.

TERRIBLE CALAMITY.--The New AL
bany Ledger announces terrible calam-
ity TO The family of Prof Nutiing, mu-
sican of superior accomplishments, gem
tleman Of fine social qualities, nd for
merly leader and tutor Of the far-iamed
"New Albany Silver Band" Unfort-
una,ely, Prof Noting, who left New AL
bany for residence in the South prior
to the breaking out of the rebellion, be-
came poisoned by that fatal error seces-
zion, and enlisted as q musician in the
rebel armF, eaving his wife and several
beautiful and interesting children TO the
care of Southern patriots, who promised
him they should not want for anything
The band 10 which Prot. n. was attaoh-
cd was soon dispensed with, and the mem-
bers reduced TO the ranks. Then these
promises, like all others made by the
rich and leading traitors, was soon bro
ken, aud not long since two Of Prof, Nut
ting's little children died Of actual siaiya-
tioa at jackson, Miss and his heart
broken wife, after suffering from illness
and hunger, was finally sent through our
lines, and, by means of funds supplied
by the charitable and sympathetic, for
warded TO the home of her parents in
Michigan. Cases of starvation among
the families of Southern soldiers are by
no means uncommon occurrences. The
restitution in the South is really terri
bic to contemplate.

The nomination of Henry Q. Deming
of Hartford, by the Republicans, for Con-
gress in the First Connecticut district
including Hartford, is a severe blow for
the friends OF Seymour Colonel Deming,
one of the NEST eloquent men in New
England, always attached to the demo-
cratic party, but war democrat and
firm supporter of the government, has
laid before his Ow-citizens his plat
form of political doctrine, and it is very
different from that of VAllandgham and
Wood. He says 81 am on the side of
the nation, and of the Captain, too, who
for the time being is at the helm. Twill
give him all the money and all the means
he demands while contending with his
mutinous crew. l will place full faith
and confidence in his honesty and fidel-
ity TO bis country, l will not criticise
over nicely the mode he has adopted to
crush the rebellion. l shall turn
my back upon no war measure be has
chosen 70 inaugurate, but will adhere 10

sents."

This body. composed OF business men without
reference TO party affiliations, have formally
expelled some thirty or thirty-fve" Of its mem
bers for refusing to take some sort of oath of
allegiance which a majority had prescribed. and
ordered their names published. Ii is ridiculous
proceeding throughout, and should bring its au-
thors into contempt. An oath of allegiance. so
far rs a citizen is concerned neither diminishes
or. increases biz obligations 10 bis government;
neither does a refusal to take such oath lessen
the duties he owes TO the State We recognize
among those who refused or neglected to take
the oath the names Of several gentlemen

those Who desired 10 make an exhibition Of their
loyalty by an Legitimate proceeding-a very
cheap kind Of patriotism. We presume not one
OF she individuals who were prominent in the
matter has ever or will ever shoulder musket
to put down the rebellion. but they will be found
among those who. through fat contracts, are fat
tenng upon the war and the terrible disasters it
has occasioned. The day is coming. and il is not
far distant, when the men who have instigated
the proceedings which have characterized the

reasons that Influenced the expelled members
10 refuse TO subscribe TO the arrogant
demands of that BODY but we presume they
were unwilling to have their loyalty questioned,
or to submit to degradation by taking an unau-
thorized oath NJ the dictation of an association
who had no right to require it. The Indanapo
lis Journal thus refers to one Of the gentlemen
expelled. and the remarks it makes upon that
case will. we have not doubt. apply to all with
equal force;
