len. Hump hr eys, gallant Confederate officer
in the late war, has been elected Governor of
Mississippi, and since his election he has been
pardoned by the President of the United States !
This is a whitening rebuke to those men who a re
seeking by all sorts Of arts AID int limitations, to
force 'stest OATH candidates down the threats Of
the good people of Virginia. If soldiers run for
any Office amongst us-eyen for place in a city
Council-it is pronounced treason to vote for
them They are Stunned by some men as if they
were afflicted with the plague. But President
Johnson does not consider it treason for rebel"
general to be elected Governor of Southe IN
State, even before he is pardoned
Does any one doubt for q moment the sloyalty"
OF zen. Humphreys Does any one suppose he
Will 1c less faithful to the Union and the Constitu
ton because he was true to his friends and Sec
ton in the late war? 1t is libel upon the true
men of the South to suppose that because they
soldiers they will not be good citizens of the
country. They will be the best citizens, and in a
war with foreign power, they will be the very
men who will go forth to fight for the ''fag."-
Lynchbmg Republican.

The military have been Withdrawn from
Charleston, S. c., the "cradle of secession"
but Staunton, Va, which was one of the
strongholds of Unionlsm before the war, is
still favored with the presence Of the militia
ry. Why is this? Is Charleston considered
more loyal than Staunton? The citizens of
Staunton are as loyal to the Constitution of
the United States as any people in the whole
country, but they are not LEX EATERS
their conduct combines true loyalty with
self-respect They are true to the Constitu-
ton and true to themselves.

Fall Of Fort Sumter.

The New York News publishes long let
ter of Montgomery Blair, of Md. dated Sept
Doth, 1865, from which the foil owing is an
extract, stating the effect of the fall of Fort
Sumter upon Gen. Lee, and the people of
the South generally:
sLet me observe here that it was the fall
of Sumter that produced on the instant the
ordinance of secession and filed Virginia
with troops from the Gulf States to carry it
before the people. It's effect upon ordinary
men may be conceived by the influence it ex-
erted over General Lee My father was au-
thorized by the President and Mr.. Cameron,
Secretary of War, to converse with General
Lee and ascertain whether he would accept
the command of our army in the field. The
latter was written for, and he met my father
at my house, when they conversed for an hour
or more 1t was few days before the ordi-
nance was passed General Lee concluded
the conversation by saying, secession was
anarchy" and added, if he owned the four
million of slaves in the South be would cheer
fully sacrifice them to the Union, but he did
not know how he could draw his sword on
his native State He said he would see Gen
eral Scott on.the subject before he decided
A committee from the Virginia Convention,
while the General and my father conversed,
were hunting for him through the city. They
met on his leaving the house. He repaired
with them to consult the Convention, as [
have since learned, about some mode Of set
Element. The fall of Sumter settled the
question for him and the Convention"
