Wauted-A Proclamation.

Meetings have been held in various
counties of this State and resolutions
passed, threatening illegal violence to all
persons who may return to those coun-
ties after having been engaged in rebel
lion. In some cases, these township or
county meetings have resolved to expel
from their midst all who, in 1861, voted
for the ordinance of secession. Measures
have been taken in some places to carry
these threats and resolutions into effect;
committees have been appointed; threat
sning placards have been distributed and
posted up, and the law has been openly
de6ed. * tIIr..
We would respectfully suggest that,
before any bloodshed results from this
ill-advised and illegal action OF the per-
sons referred to, it would be well for
Governor FOREMAN to take some official
notice of the circumstances, and publish
something for the advice or guidance OF
the people. If men who have been in
rebellion, but who have taken the oath
of allegiance, are not to be permitted to
return to their former homes in this
State, they would better learn that fact
from a proclamation by the Governor,
than from mob melted by few design
ing individuals If men who voted for
the secession ordinance are, at this late
day, to be expelled from the homes they
have occupied quietly ever since the be-
ginning of the war, it would better be
done by some higher authority than is
vested fl a township or county meeting.
Upon the other hand, If the Governor
disapproyesof these things, and is con-
WINGED tnat the course pursued by these
meetings is calculated to endangor the
public peace, proclamation advising the
people to refrain frem threats and obey
the laws would have the happiest effect.
We trnst that, for the peace and honor
of the State, some official document eth
or warning former rebels not to return,
or the citizens not to modest them by
violence, may be publicly issued soon..

count except to make red republican
speeches and draw his pay, The service
will lose nothing by his resignation.

TO SUBSCRIBERS

We have encountered the usual difficulties Of
starting new paper in reviving the Dispatch. -
The arrangement of routes for carriers, the finding
out the residences Of subscribers, and, above ALL
the securing Of faithful carriers to deliver the
paper to them, involve great deal of difficulty
and trouble. 1t takes little time and a great
deal Of patience and perseverance to smooth over
these troubles and systematize the distribution Of
the paper We are rapidly doing all this. Clerks
are industriously arranging the growing lists, and
we are putting carriers OH the routes, who will
soon become acquainted with them, and, we trust,
faithfully deliver the paper. Subscribers, when
neglected, will please make the fact known at the
office.

A ASnoorfxa CAsE.-Powhatan Drew, aAegr0
man. who shot Joseph Dickson INST Wednes-
day night At a negro bah, was tried yesterday
In the Provost Court, before Colonel McEntee.
Drew acknowledged that he shot DicksOn, but
did not intend 10 hill him. Dickson testified as
follows:
On Wednesday night last I was al a ball At
the honse Of Della Wilson, negro woman, ON
Sixteenth street. Iattended. the door, and ad-
mitted Drew on his paying the fee Of fifty
cetfts: During the evening, several girls came
to me aud Wafntd fhe TO take care Of my self,
as Powhatan Drew intended to shoot me-. I
accordingly went down to the police ofnct and
obtained guard, who returned with me.
Soon after returning, was standing In con-
vereation with Della Wilson, when some one
shot me IN the back part Of my head. Turned
and saw the prisoner fun ont Of the room.
The ball is still in my head. The physician
has told me that there is no immediate dan
ger Of serious results If do not take cold
After having Drew arrested, he said to me at
the police Office that he would like to get one
more " pop" a. me. I never gaye him any
provocation to shoot if1e.
Other witnesses testified directly 70 the fact
that Dickson was shot by Drew. The ahair
seems to have originated in jealousy, girl
named Ella Brown being the cause.
Colonel McEntee found Drew guilty of as
sault and batiefy With intent to kill, and sen !.
fenced him to confinement at hard labor in the
Virginia penitentiary for the term or five
wears.
