nate. Many will never return even with
peace, and 1t may be question if they
should do so, whether they would have a
right TO resume their Offices under the laws
and the constitution. The counties will
average about sixty officers, furnishing
within the enemy's lines a number equal
to about two thousand men, constituting
force sufficient, it may be to turn the
tide of a great battle. Yet according to
the decisions Of soma of the judges, these
officers would he exempt from military
duty, although without civil duties to
perform, and with great probability that
they will have none during the continu-
Ruce of the war. The doctrine commended
for may lead to the most fatal results if all
the officers designated in the constitution
and the laws made in pursuance thereof
are to be exempted because they are State
officers. If all the Justices of the Peace,
who by the way were never exempted I'M

lilies, all salt agents, commercial agents,
&c, all employees of banks, cities, towns,
&C., are to be exempt, Unfortunately,
aud without reference to their me-
cessity, then, indeed, in the language of
the decision so frequently quoted, the
spectacle will be presented of a
nation subjugated and destroyed at time
when it had within its limits citizens am
ply sufficient to defend it against all the
assaults of its enemies, but whose services
could not be commanded because the gov
eminent had contracted with them that they
should not be required to serve in the
army. So far, in this State, the number of
s1empts is comparatively small; but in
other States we are told it is widely differ

In common with number of others, we
had the pleasure of conversation on yss.
terday with the Hon. A. 81. Stephens, Wee
President of the Confederate States, WHO
was a guest at the Mansion House.
After conversing with this distinguished
gentleman it is not difficult to understand
the secret of his influence. Clear and logi.
cal in his ideas, and happy in his name,
of expressing them, Mr.. Stephens impres.
ses his hearers with the conviction that
they are listening to a man of sagacity, oil
clear, common sense, and one, too, who is
fully convinced of the truth of whatever
he asserts,
Mr.. Stephens is no Feconstructionist.-
He believes that the worst thing that could
happen to the confederacy would be re.
union with the Northern States. Misery
and degradation, worse than Ireland ever
experienced, would be our portion upon
any reunion that could be effected. We
must have Independence.
Differences of opinion may exist as to
the policy of the measures proposed and
adopted, and of the means necessary for
the attainment of the ends desired, but
these differences should not be allowed to
grow into bitterness of feeling, and to make
discord and division among ourselves. We
should award to others the same honesty
of purpose which we know that We pos
sess. Calmly and dispassionately, we
should approach every subject connected
with the public defence, having in view
only the good of our bleeding country and
the attainment of what we all SO deeply
desire, an honorable peace-Which he
thinks can only be on the basis of state
We do not pretend to give the exact
IauguageSofcMr. Stevens; but the above, as
we understood them, were the sentiments
expressed. Various other interesting top
les were discussed, some of which we shall
take occasion to advert to hereafter. The
present time and our limited space forbid
further extension.

From the Richmond WING

cd with "YeuoW FeVOr"-phoy De.
mand Gold.
From the Richmond Wing, Dec. 2.
The physicians of this city have held a
meeting and decided to charge for their
professional services, one-h half of the rates
prior to the war, payable in gold, or it's
equivalent in Confederate money at the time
OF payment. This "sacrifce" is made In
consequence of the fact that "they are ex-
empt from military service for the accomo-
dation OF the public" 1t is not very GER
tain, however, that the physicians have
made any ''sscrifice" in the change OF their
terms Learned finauciers have asserted
and undertaken to demonstrate that the
intrinsic value of gold in the Confederate
States has doubled since the commence
ment of the war, or, in other words, that a
gold dollar will buy as much now as it re-
CURED two gold dollars to pay for before
the war. At all events, we venture to as
sert that nine-tenths of the patients of our
physicians would not only be delighted
with one half of their former income paid
in gold, but would be content to receive
one-fifth in that precious metal.
If gold is to be recognized as the only
standard or value by which to measure the
depreciation OF Confederate Treasury notes,
the practice should be general. II the doc
tors are to be paid in gold or it's equiva-
lent, let this be the prevailing mode of cd.
justing accounts among all professions and
trades. The physicians have set the ex.
ample, and it will probably have Its infu-
ence ere long.

for publication. He will commence the
distributionof the money collected, to-day.
The most of it of course goes to points
more or less remote from the city.
VS. have noticed the tact that the rebel
legislature of Old Virginia is now in ses-
sion at Richmond, and that "Extra Billy"
Smith, their governor, cent in a long mes
sage, eight columns of the Richmond Ez-
qminsr, the other day. Notwithstanding
its length the topics touched upon are few,
being mostly such as grow out of Vfrginia's
connection with the war, but more espec.
tally out of the present discussion about
exempts and about the enlistment of me-
groes. What he says about exempts must
be peculiarly interesting to our West Vir-
ginia refugees over there. We can borrow
the words of the Richmond Enquirer in
relation to the southern refugees in New
York, and express most cordially the hope
that Extra Billy" will do what he evident
~ desires to do-Viz: conscript every
mothers son of them. We like his dispo'
sition toward them. It is certainly true
that those to whom he alludes are miser-
able class of sneaks, considered as class.
They are not willing to fighter one side or
the other, but claim exemption under the
code on account of having held come little
petty office at the time of running off from
West Virginia. Their idea was to play the
patriot to advantage, and get something
better in the shape of an Office than what
they left behind them. Being disappoiut-
ed in office seeking, many of them have
gone into business under the pretense of
present inability to get back to their
homes, and still claim a residence in our
W. Va, counties and also still protest that
they are the only legally qualified office
holders in said counties, and that as such
they are not subject to the draft. "Ex.
ira Billy" thus slludes to them:
1t is utterly impossible for me to under
stand the logic which exempts State Off
GERS VINO are not necessary for the State
government, and yet it is the fact that the
judges are undertaking to turn loose from
the grasp of military authority, men with
out any duty to perform, upon the ground
that they are officers provided by the con-
stiIution and the laws. There are some
forty OF fifty counties of Virginia within
