Tar Richmond Viii ba. a Iopg sdftori.I

Tar Richmond Wig has long editorial
on the subject ofa general causcrip;iou,
in the course of which it says:
The attention OF Congress has been &C.
cuPied for some days past upon the etici-
ency of the army. The act admitting sub
stitutes into service was repealed with the
utmost expedition bill setting aside
+ all contracts with the principal whose sub
stitute has been received, aGd conscribing
bin also into service, has passed the House
with preeiPitancy and almost uuauimity,
and there Is but little reason to doubt will
I be rushed through the Senaie. A more
sweeping CONSUMPTION, embracing all able
bodied men of all ages and classes, with
various notifications, has also been pro
posed. frenzy for the moment seems to
I possess both the Administrative and legis-
latiTe branches OF the government UPON
the subject ct swelling the muster rolls of
our armies.
Whence comes this frantic iufatuatiou :?
/ Is it a symptom of pauic, of trepidation
bordering on despair Are We reduced TO
the necessity of making such an exhibition
TO our enemies and 10 the world, in resort
ing to such desperate measures, unparal-
leied in the history OF wars? Is it one of
the Protesu forms Of demagoguery that has
bewitched our civil leaders? The "euuaIi-
y of every man." ergo, all must go 10 the
heidF Is not our war based 90 the princi-
pie and fact, which all history has demou-
strated as truth-the inequality Of man
for policy We say of races? Or is il the
scheme of the designing and the aspiring?
This subject demands the earnest, the eau
| tious, the most deliberate consideration and
ciFcumsPectiou of Congress-"
In the same article the Wing says:
"BesIies the incalculable injuries tina,
would in every way result from wholesale
conscriPtion, the agricultural interests
Of the country would be wholly neglected
Negroes left to themselves will not make
even their own support. The next year
would be truly one of famine. Already
We are experiencing the trials of scanty
provisions. The greatest suffering felt in
our army is from this cause The want OF
| food with their families at home is the
cause of over half the desertious 1t would
/ be good policy now TO deiail every skill

now do it2 The Yankees take Chattanoo

however, paragraph at the bottom Of the
list of counties which may explain the ir-

1. is az follows:
By an act Of Assembly, passed March

court Of any county shall fail TO meet for

thereof. or any Of them, shall be prevented
from attending thereuPOn ny reason of the
public enemy, the court of the county next
thereto, where such obstruction does not
exist and tie clerk thereof, or the circuit
court OF the city of Richmond and the
clerk thereof shall have Jurisdiction of all
matters and authority to do aud perform
al acts which, as the law now is, are refer
able to the court or TO the clerk of the
county 50 INSTRUCTED.
Another interesting item is the list of
members of the Virginia Legislature.
Samuel Price, OF Green orier, is Lieutenant
Governor, and, sz-o6feiO, President of the
Senate; Hugh W. sheffey. of Augusta, is
Speaker Of the House. Brooke aud Han
cock counGs are represented By the ineY-
table DR.. White, of weIlsburg, who left
these parts after having taken the oath
almost as often as be took his drinks,
which was frequent. Ohio county is rep
resented By Joe PendIston, Tom Edwards
aud DR.. Hughes. Think OF that. Marshall
is represented by James H. Hoge; WetzeI
by Leonard Hall; Mouongalia by Dudley
Evans and D. 3. Stewart; Marion by old
Tom Raymond and Steve Morgan; Taylor
By John a. Robinsoni Upsbur by W. H.
WoOdley; Wood by Maguire. whose full
name is rot given; Barbour by William
Johnson.
1t may be interesting to the people of
Ohio Brooke aud Hancock to know that
Dan. shriver is their Senator. Where his
vote came from lie not stated. Jim Neesou
represents Marion, W-rzel, Marshall and
Tyler in the same place Lewis, Barbour,
UPshurr GiImer, Randolph, Calhoun. Tuck
es and Webster are represented by John
