The E1eess Over Our auota.

Department aud the State in the matter of
West Virginia's quota had resulted in the
concession of the former that We are out
of the draft. bow the exact figures of
the account will finally stand can not be
known now, tor the reason that all the
formalities of the returns have not been
gone through with. 1t is agreed that the
quota is full under all the calls. Cover
nor Boreman announces that fact to us in
dispatch this morning. Colonel barr
yesterday received a statement of &C.
Gouut from the Provost Marshal General,
which, while it is not full, will neverthe-
less bring us out handsomely with the
addition of the full returns. The state.
msnt is as follows:

To this excess is to be added all the

ecclesiastical paper, iu St. Louis, a few
days ago, on account OF the following
editorial and others like it
TIE ADDRESS OF THs (REBEL) LRa1sLA-
TUBE OF VIRGINIA
We recommend to the earnest consider
alton of those who still suppose the
South can be conquered, the eloquent and
thrilling address of the General Assembly
of Virginia, that grand and gallant old
commonwealth, the mother of States and
of statesmen, the birth place OF Washing
ton, Of Lee, and of jackson. The defiant
tone In which IL treats OF the efforts to en-
slave the people of the South, and the
eloquent language of denunciation in
which it refers to the barbarous system of
warfare pursued by the minions of the
Washington despot, will meet an echo in
the heart of every man who loves Justice
and hates oppression. We trust in God
we shall never see the day on which the
glorious old commonwealth will be sub
dued and given over to the spoiler aud the
Pluuderer; to the Buffers and the Schencks:
70 the licensed BURGER and incendiary, in.
cited and encouraged by "the best Gov
eminent on the face of the EARTH"
As to the freedom and independence of
the South, We have ne apprehensions.
Her people can never be conquered, and,
If that were possible, Abraham Lincoln is
not the man TO accomplish that subjuga-
zion.
Some of the copperheads have set up
great howl over the act of General Rose
Grams supprsssiug the paper in which this
article was contained. And yet, if such a
publication is to be allowed, there is not
one of their arguments which would not
clearly justify the editors of the Richmond
Examiner or Enquirer from coming among
uSand establishing their journals, as they
are now carried on, in any of our cities.-
Certainly the above in no wise differs from
anything we read in those papers, so far as
the right aud the wrong of the war is con-
Gerned. The United States Government is
every day asked by copperhCads to tolerate
tbings-that in all their essence aud spirit
are entirely destructi of its existeuce.-
Their efrontery is unparalleled in the his
tory of wars. Not another government on
she globe would permit such treason as
openly vaunts itself in every issue of the
Copperhead newspapers. Were General
Jackson where Mr.. Lincoln is he would
crush out such publications in short order
just as he sent the judge to prison in
New Orleans, when that city was under
martial law. The present administration
seems TO be willing to make the expert
ment as to how near death it can pass, be.
tween foes in Its front and their allies in
its rear. Perhaps for the sake of the great
future, and the precedents to be ono,.d
from these times, it is better that the bsz-
1ardous experiment should be made. AT
all events it will be something in behalf of
liberty Of speech under all circumstances
even the most diFe-tor the future bisto-
Tian 70 be able to cite the fact that in the
era of the great rebellion, men were pro-
teeted in sdgmatizing the efforts of the
government to suppress that rebellion. ALI
iS well that ends we'll. If this rebellion,
despite the copperheads and their organs.
