War Nomenclature

During the war, the term yankee" was ap-
Piled in the South TO every person VINO sus
tanned the L MON cause; and in the North the
word "RebeI" was used TO designate every
person engaged in, or sympathizing with, the
effort to discover the Union. "Iank" and
"Reb'' were the contracted forms of these de-
signations in the armies, aud they became so
familiar on either side that it was considered
a matter of course thst they should be
used. Among civilians there was always
more or less Sensitiveness in respect to these
conventional e1ithets. We do not know
that any Northern man was ever seriously
aggrieyed at being designated a. Cyan
kee"; and, at one time, it seemed as if the
term "Rebel' was rather liked in the South,
than regarded as sterm Of reproach.
We remember to have seen in a Southern
journal an article on this subject, in which
the Confederates were congratulated upon
the application to them Of the term "Rebel, -
for the reason that the same appellatiOn had
been bestowed upon General Washington,
and the patriots OF INC. 1t is certain that
one or two journals were published in the
South uader the name Of "Rebel,' indi-
eating that the term was rather one to be
proud Of than to be regarded as q reproach.
But, now that the war is over, this feeling
has changed, and the Sppellation "Rsbel'
has become offensive. II is considered
harsh and unconciliato=y. The reply is
unsatisfactory that Rebel" is a shorter
word than " Confederate" aud therefore
more conveniently written and put in type,
or that il is mere expressive convention.
Atty. The answer to this is that the war is
over, aud most of those heretofore stigma
TIED as ''Rebels" have, by taking the oath
of allegiance. ceased to be "Rebels."
Another designation of common use du-
ring the war was " contrabSnd," applied to
the negroes who had been liberated by the
Union arms. We observe that one OF the
speakers at the late Anti-Slavery meet
ing in New York, objected to the further
use Of this word. He did not like it; neither
did he like the word Z" freedman " Free
man was better, he said, out he did not like
even that TOT it carried the idea of slave
man. He thought American citizen was the
proper name for the blacks who have become
free. Non diSpuiGndaa, etc.

MEETING in LANES CITY.

III accordance to previous notice, large
and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens OF
James City was held on Monday, the 9Th
inst, to give expression TO their feelings in
regard to civil government.
On motion, Frank H. Dennis was called to
the Chair, and NathI d. PiggOtt appointed
Secretary.
A committee of five gentlemen were ap.
pointed to draft resolutions, who, after a
brief retirement, reported the following,
which were unanimously adopted u,
Resolved, That We congratulate the coun-
try and the friends of justice AMI humanity
everywhere, upon the subjugation OF the
rebellion aud the restoration OF the Union,
over the traitors who have attempted its
overthrow.
heSOrsd, That We cordially approve and
will zealously sustain the administration OF
the gifted statesman and answering patriot,
Andrew Johnson, and agree with him, that
the leading traitors should suffer the sever
est penalty of the law.
ReS5lved, That we hold that the Union
men of the seeded States have lost no rights
because OF the treason in their midst; and
repel with indignant sco-n the idea that they
are TO be reduced 10 vassalage until traitors
exercise the right of suffrage and override
them at the polls. ..f..... ..
ReSolced, That we consider the Govern.
ment of which Francis II. Pierpont is the
head, as the lawful Government Of this
State, the only Government that gives the
true Union men its rights; whose legislative
enactments have restricted the right OF suf-
frage TO loyal men, and in every way de-
serving the hearty support of all good peO.
pie.
ResOlusd, That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Norfolk Oh
Dominion, Baltimore american, Alexandria
Journal, and Washington Chronicle.
The resolutions were adopted amidst j
hTore of applause. Strong and eloquent
speeches were then delivered denounciag the
leaders of the rebellion and pledging i cor
dial support to the Administration. Three
cheers were then given for President John
son and Governor Pierpont, aftei which the
meeting adjourned.

A PROPHETIC SPEECH.

The following is an extract from speech
on ''the power, duty and necessity OF des-
troying slavery in the Rebel States" de-
livered by Hon. Isaac N. Arnold, of Illinois,
in the House OF representatives., January
9th, 1864:
Let MS pause moment, Mr.. Chairman,
and contemplate the SaddeSt spectacle OF
all this war-Virginia as she is to-day. She
was worthy Of her early pre-eminence. Her
early history was brilliant indeed. Wash
ington, Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Madison
aud Marshall, all men of whom any nation
might be proud. There is something grand
and majestic in the physical conformation OF
the old Commonwealth. With the Ale
ghauies and the Blue Ridge running Though
her entire extent, she seems fashioned Tor
the abode of treemen. When We remember
that her greatest writer penned the Decla-
ration Of Independence and the Ordinance
Of 1887, and that he declared that III q con-
test between her shareholders and their
slaves the Almighty had no attribute which
would take sides with the master; and when
we look upon her to-day, and see TO what
slavery has reduced the proud old Common
wealth, It is, indeed, the saddest spectacle
Uf the war. She is being purged as with
lire; she will pass through this agony, and
come out of it restored, emancipated, dis
enthralled and regenerated. Once more
shall she he hailed as the mother of States
free States-and statesmen. Mount Vernon
and Monticello will again become the Nee
cas- Of the American patriot. Through the
dark clouds which now envelop her the bow
OF promise shall reappear; that bow shall
rest upon liberty. When she shall have
passed through this agony, aud shall arise
freed and regenerated, when her every petty
tYrant shall have been dethroned, then will
her stern old motto, "Sic Senper tyronnis,"
have a new and glorious Significance.

PREPARING FOR THE New GOVERNMENT
In few days Virginia is to have a new gov.
eminent, and the house is being set in order
to meet the new order Of things. Governor
Pierpont expects to leave Alexandria to-day
or tomorrow for Richmond. 1t is under
stood that reception of some character will
be accorded him and his suite. The Cover
nor's mansion, now occupied by Brig. Gen.
Dent, Military Governor, as his hesdquar-
tiers, will be surrendered for the occupancy
Of the new Governor. The chambers are now
being put in order, and general brushing up,
inside, aud outside, indicates new occupant,
and 'Coming events cast their shadows be-
fore"
The new State Government will occupy
the Capitol Building, all the apartments OF
which remain precisely as they were left upon
the surrender of the city. The Governor
room in the Capitol, now occupied by one OF
the Military Departments, will also be turned
over for the Governors use.
With the resumption of the functions Of
civil government, we presume We shall again
have the courts restored, and all working
again smoothly, harmOniously, and well.

A TUG TOWING LINE IL wanted very much
to complete the facilities for sailing and
steaming vessels to enter and depart from
the port. Vessels, either steamers or sail.
ers, are invariably towed up from City Point,
and three or four su bstantial tug boats on
the river would repay almost any outlay.
Vessels, with ca goes very important to
owners and consignors, have been detained
two or three days at the Point, waiting for
disengaged tug to haul them up, the river
being too crooked and narrow for either fair
sailing or steaming.
We hear that some New York capitalist
have the establishment of q line of tugs in
contemplation. We hope the enterprise
may be carried ont By Richmond m srchants.

AFFAIRS IN DANYILLE.

A letter in the New York Herald, dated
Danville, 9TH met, says;
Ever since the Sixth corps entered Dan
Vile the negroes working on the neighbor-
ing plantations have acted as though the
millennium had come. Along every road
leading into the town squads OF from two 10
twenty came prepared to make long visit
and live at our expense. They anticipated
having good time, seeing the sights, and
enjoying themselves generally. In the
mean time, no preparation could be made
for harvest time, and, as for working on a
farm, the negroes rather secuted the idea
since the Yankees had arrived.
In view OF these circumstances, the fol
lowing order was issued by Gen. Wright
