For the past few days the air has been

For the past few days the air has beer
full ofrumors concerning Kipstrick's raid
the capture of Richmond, release of Unior
prisoners, &c. 1t seems, however, that 81
far as the capture Of Richmond is concern
ed, that stronghold Of Sece.sia. Is likely Il
remain safe for some time to come. The
arrival of Longstrest's division reinforcing
the garrison at Richmond. renders it able
to withstand much greater force than
Fitzpatrick and Butler can bring to bear for
its capture. The rebels boast that 1000
men inside their Notifications are compe-
tent to repel an assaultiDg army 100000
strong. Making all due allowance for ex-
aggeration, we do net doubt they would be
able to hold the city against four or five
times their number. AfpEg
+ 7 The chief advantage which can accrue
from Kilpatrick's expedition will result
from the destruction Of the railroads over
which supplies were carried to, the rebel
army of the Potomac. If, by this means,
Lee is compelled to retire from his line of
defenses, along the Rapidan, and give up
that portion of Virginia to Federal occnpa-
ton, great good will have been attained
and brilliant success achieved. However,
We have not much faith in the accuracy of
Kilpatr!cks dispatch. he is somewhat no.
torious for bis skill in drawing the long
bow" especially in the relation of his own
exploits, and we expect to sec the account
of bis successes "growing small and beau
tifully less" as the truth is ascertained. We
hope, however, that in this instance he has
departed from his usual custom.

A LOYAL CAVALRY REGIMENT OF ALABAMIANs.
1t is not generally known, perhaps, that we
have a cavalry regiment composed wholly of 10y
al Alabamians The regiment was raised in Cor
NTH, Mississippi, and is made UP of refugees.
It now numbers more than twelve hundred men,
having for duty at present. about nine hundred
out of the twelve. The manner of recruiting was
singular and venturesome, and is thus described
by correspondent of the New York Post:
Z" Men, acquainted with the country were sent
from the camps to the Union counties in Ala
bama, travelling at night and through the wood
to avoid observation; in that way penetrating
hundred miles, They would then hide them
selves in the caves of the mountains, and by
stratagem manage to communicate with the
Union men. After having got together forty or
fifty willing to run the risk of attempting to
gain the Federal lines, they would start cautious
" travel by night, and through the woods,
strenuously avoiding the public roads till out OF
reach of danger. Under every trial this mode
succeeded admirably, Corinth being reached
safely in each instance. This was carried on so
successfully for some time that Governor Shorter
of Alabama offered ten thousand dollars reward
for the body of any Federal recruiting officer
taken in the State"
One officer travelled upward of two hundred
miles, and returned with one hundred and ten
recruits, besides twelve prisoners and a valuable
rebel mail Since the organization of the regi-
ment it has been in constant and active service.
It has captured over nine hundred prisoners. 1t
has lost in action, killed and wounded,
upward of one hundred men. 1t has destroyed
a vast deal of property belonging to the enemy,
in various raids. The regiment is commanded
by Col. Geo. e. Spencer who has asked leave to
raise brigade, believing that he can raise three
or four regiments in short time. -Boston 1TGv'

How Will ii Work.

The Constitution of West Virginia, in
section lS, article 4, says "No person hold
ing an office Of profit under this State or the
United States, shall he a member Of the
Legislature g. In the face of this section
we understand a member of the Senate is
holding his seat, and is at the same time a
Prosecuting Attorney, and drawing pay for
both. THIS fact is also known To nearly
every member of the Senate. How will it
work7 Is mat Constitutional Legislature
where part Of the body is clearly dis
qualified by the Constitution and will the
acts of that Legislature be held to be Con-
stitutional by the Courtsl This is o very
important matter, eftecting the people ot
the whole State. Should the question be
carried to the Courts, and there is no doubt
but il will, they will certainly have to de
eide the acts Of the Legislature to be un
constitutional. II it is shown that grand
juror was in any way disqualified to serve
upon o grand jury, the courts bave always
NJ once set aside the acts of the jury Of
which the disqualified juror was member.
The principle is the same in both cases, and
Of course the same rule applies in both Ca
ses.--Aiddiebourae Plaiadealer. .-
