Another good sign is found in letter

misrepresentation of its Washington cor
respondent touching the recent elections
We quole:
10 the first place, (says Mr.. c. } there has
no general election taken place in Virginia
since the restoration. The election TO which
allusion s made was special one, held in
but six counties and of them returns have
as yet been received from only three | am
informed upon The best authority that OF
The persons in three counties heard from,
all were Union men before the war, ex-
cepl the ones from Alexandria.
In The next place, ii is fact that there are
no longer any "Disunonis,sn in Virginia.
The people are all for the Union having
failed in their effort for a separate govern
ment, and recognizing that failure as coH-
elusive. They acceptj The Union without

faith. The National Government is 10 be
theirs and their chiidren's forever and TO
tha: government, although they would not
have voluntarily chosen it, they will bear
faithful allegiance. This is the exact posi>
ton OF nineiy-nine hundredlhs of the peo-
pie OF Virginia.
deeply regret TO see the spirit OF pro-
scriplion which many persons entertain
toward the Southern people in their present
condiIion-a people whose kindred blood
and heroic character, to say nothing of their
misfortunes, should commend them 10 our
sympathy and respect. This spirit of pro
scriplion is wrong. The Shareholders re-
bellion was preciPiisled by irresistible
forces, and it is unjust to hold individuals
responsible for ii. 1t should rather convic,
Thomas Jefferson than Jefferson Davis of
being It's author but the truth is, il was an
event developed in the progress of civiliza-
tinn. Shall we not be kind and forgiying to
those who. have committed error, however
grievous, when il is manifest that their error
was ordered by Providence, i'll HIS wisdom,
10 advance the interest of mankind
With regard TO the "inciGental" ques
tions connected with the war, ] find the
Southern people as reasonable as could be
expected or desired. They consider slavery
dead and gone, and are glad that il is so
They are disposed to accommodate them
selves 10 The new system of labor, and 10
promote the well being OF the black man TO
The best OF their ability. As to negro suf-
lrage, il is new idea here; but am sure
that II will in some form or other, be ulti-
m atey adopted by The people.
Very respectfully, your friend,
MARTIN F CONWAY.

so lar as it relates TO the publisher. The pa

Since writing he above we notice in the

The Democrats Of that State talk strongly
OF nominating General WILLnM t SHER-

ought to be elected but with the large odds

1T is enough 10 blanch the cheek OF every
Christian gentleman in America TO listen 10
the rawlings OF a large class OF Northern men
in relation TO the people OF The Southern
States. And OF all these noisy bruies, none
are more brutal; or more profane, than the
clergy. They appear TO be inspired by two
passions, each equally vile thirst for re
uenge and desire for plnnder. They want
the North to become boundless thief, aud
possess itself Of all the lands and property
OF the Southern people. A heather poet,
Menarder, said. "Coyet not, o, Pamphilus,
even the thread of another mans needle; for
God, who is near thee, perpe;ually bsholds
Thy actions." How much better, how much
more acceptable 10 God, would mans
lime on Sundays be spent in reodiag even
the heather poets than in hstening TO the
oruislizing Iargon of the pulpits. For one,
