HENRY A. WISE DRAWS PICTURE OF EHE
SITUATION.
From his Speech to his Brga 'e and the Virginia
Legislature.

HENRY A. WISE DRAWS A PICTURE OF EHE
SITUATION.
From his Speech to his Brga e and the Virgins
Legislature.
Northwestern Virginia has been left
to the enemy, and it has seeded from
secession. The want of all means OF
defense at Hatteras and Roanoke Is
land abandoned the garner of grain
and the meat houses of all Eastern
North Carolina and Of the city of Nor
folk and the navy yard at Gosport
The retreat from Manassas sacrificed
provisions and munitions of war
enough to last a year campaign. The
sudden and surprising evacuation OF
Norfolk and the blowing up of the
Merrimac, abandoned Eastern Virginia
and stripped US still more of our main
means OF supply and defence. The res
treat from the York peninsula lost still
more of provisions and amunitions Of
war, and exposed Richmond to the
bloody, indecisive battles of the seven
days Doubtful orders and divided
armies left Tennessee and Vicksburg
both TO fall, between disputlng com
manders and conflicting commands,
for which there seems TO be no FespOn-
sibility. The death of the selfreliant
hero Jackson, left the valley Of wheat
and corn and cattle to be
scourged and devasted. The neglect Of
Cole Island exposed Morris Island 70
Q pure and Charles onto bombardnaent
by land as well as by sea The rear
movement around the western bend of
the Tennessee has repulsed and Grip
pied the army of Hood, while Sherman
has been left free to thread Georgia
with desolatiOn, and TO capture Savan-
nah, and 70 threaten the trunk and
branches of al our Southern eommu-
nieations And all this time the retire
ment OF such Generals IS Beauregard
from the command Of armies Ia the
field cannot be compensated by his en-
gineering of Charleston Harbor, or Of
G.. W. Smith cannot be compensated by
his engineering in the State of Georgia,
and Joseph T. Johnstons retirement
can be measured only by the losses and
lamentations that have followed in Its
train. Fort Fisher has fallen, and by
Grants crossing the Chickahominy and
the James, without blow, Richmond
and Petersburg are both beseiged, the
line of railroad is cut and the army IS
advancing and threatening from every
point of the compass. General SCOTS
programme, at the beginning of the
war, for our invasion and destruction,
is fast tending 10 communication. We
are cut into fragments Of territory, di-
vidsd by the Mississippi, and in every
section driven into close interior, and
forced to self-reliance apart from al the
rest Of the world

We hear q great deal Of complaining
about the unjust and uncalled for Militia
Tax of $500. To say that the law is in.
famous, is to speak of it in the miliest

OF rabid, insane negro lovers, who spent
an entire winter in worshipping the black
man and d~isrcgarding the interests of tho
white man.
Our advise To the citizens of the State
would be to form military companies in
every neighborbood-th the law gives you
four months in which to uniform. Be.
fore that shall have rolled around wo will
have elected a Democratic Legislature,
whose first act will be to repeal this infa,

"GencraIIy Deemed Wld..'

The Washington correspondent Of the
Stale Journal, in speaking of Gen. Cox's
letter, says:
'His theory Of q separation Of The two
races is, however generally deemed wild.'
What do the people o. Ohio want with
a man for Governor, whose elaborate
productions, designed TO pass current as
able State papers, will be generally deem
cd wildY'
The people are now suffering through
oppressive taxation because of the "wild"
experiments of Government officials
This is no time for "wild" theorizers in
so important place as tho G~ovornorship
of Ohio. Men of sound mind and good
common sense are needed in that place
and must be elected thereto, or the inter-
csts Of the people will be iOopardized to
al alarming extent. -Stdtcsmaa.

SO DIE
TARY DINNER.

ILHEL" - HaNNHNL
Some four weeks since this paper spread
before this community a proposition for
a just complimentary dinner for tho re.
turned soldiers OF Ashland County, to be
conducted without reference to party or
political influences. To this proposition,
made in all candor and fairness, the
Times responded, by getting up an &c
etas'0ey partisan programme, and claim
ed that the Ladies Of the aAid a%ssocia-
ton" had invented it, and intended to
carry it out under their auspices. To
this end, a call was made through the
"Times" couchcd in such terms and
phrases as amounted to a direct and in
sulting prohibition against the participa-
ton of any democrat in the intended SOL
dier compliment, and though this paper
protested against the meaiiiess of the pro-
ceeding, the "Aid Society" and their male
managers" arranged the order of their
meeting for Friday next, placing none
upon their published committees but re.
puhlicans, and ignoring the appointment
of a single democrat, but still insisting(O
that it was q citizens meeting irrespective
-
of party, and pretending to claim that
democrats ought to participate, and at the
last hour requested the appointment t, of
enc or two democrats on the tail of their
committees!
To test The sincerity Of this new propo.
sal, a meeting was held, and it was agreed
that if satisfactory, a number Of Demo
crat, named, would serve, if one Of the
speakers on that occasion should be as.
signed to the Democratic attendants, Gen,
GEORGE W. MORGAN, a distinguished
soldier and citizen of an adjoining county,
being named, as all their speakers we're
republicans. To this proposition ''the
Aid Society,"" through their Chairman,
responded, that they intended their speak
erS to occupy the whob time Of the meet
ing, aud declined our proposal to meet
with them So, after all, it has turned
out that they NEVER DESIRED the Demo.
Gratis Of the town and county to meet with
the soldiers on terms Of equality, to well
come them home to their friends and
firesides !!
Let it not, therefore, be said that the
Democracy refused to greet the soldier
on his return. for we have been insulting
ly told, "you shall have no part nor lot in
the matter" We leave a candid COM
munity to judge whether the proceedings
Of the "Aid Society" and its ''malc mem
bera' are such as to convey the idea that
any body was expected to be present,
but those who believe in NEGRO SUI
While We have always denoanc-
ed the usurpations of the Administration
We have ever held that the soldier had
no part nor lot in it, and hence, have al
spoke well Of him and his family,
and shall ever wish him prosperity.
