WHY NoT.-The collection that was
made on election day for the benefit OF
Robinson, the soldier who saved Secre-
tary Stewards life at the hazard of his
own. did not amount to very credltable
sum. For the credit of the city, it ought
TO be increased and we would suggest
that some plan be adopted for this pur-
pose. Will not the ladies and gentlemen
who collected so much money, gave so
much pleasure to eur citizens and won so
much commentator for themselves last
summer by the exhibition of Tabledur at
Washington Hall and at the Sanitary
Fair, take the matter in hand ! The
people will be delighted to witness the
Tableaur again, or some similar exhibit
ton, and all who admire bravery in man
may thus have an opportunity of testify
ing, in an appropriate manner, their ap-
probation of an heroic deed. What say

ITO every rejecting man the resistless logic Of
facts must bring the conviction that tie effort to
destroy the American Union has resulted in u COM
served. That time honored instrument-the Con-
stltudon of the United Staies-the work of the
great and patriotic men who formerly guided the
Republic, will continue to be the magma chartd OF
our liberty. The laws based upon it afford an
ample remedy for every grievance and a safeguard
against every danger. Under that Constitution a
powerful and enlightened ration arose and prof.
pered. Tne Union formed by It has been rudcly
shaken, but It has survived. The. storm Of war,
reused by the passions of sectional conflict has heat
upon it, and ye! it lives The persistent and giant
like exertions of the people of the loyal States to
preserve 1t demonstrate how deeply love Of this
Union had sunk into their hearts. These exertons
have now been crowned with success, and very soon
all armed opposition to the National authority will
cease.
With this inevitable result 20 clearly presented to
them, 1t is the duty Of the Southern people to come
forward at once and aid In the work Of "recon-
struction." This work must be done separately by
the several States formerly composing the "Con-
federscy," and should be commenced at once.
The Government Of the United States de5ires
that the erring States shall resume their places in
the great system from which their temporary de-.
parture has caused 30 much Of desolation and woe
Every encouragement has been given to the State
authorities to put In motion tie means necessary to
the grand end to be accomplished. Prcmp: action
is essential" delay is dangerous" Should the

AN ADDRESS "to the People Of Virginia" ear
L nestly requesting the Governor, Lieutenant
Governor members of the Legislature, and various
prominent citizens of Virginia. to assemble In Rich
mond on the 25th instant, Is Published In to-dsy's
paper This signatures to this call will secure for II
not only the respectful consideration Of the persons
addressed, but, in the present attitude Of affairs,
will induce many of them to respond with alacHty
to the summons.
1t is understood thSt this invitation has been put
forth In pursuance Of the pan of proceeding as
sented to by President L!ncoln At all events, 1t
will be hailed by the great body of the people OF
Virginia the first step towards the reinstatement
of the "Old Dominion" In this Union.
1t Is probable that some Of the members Of tie
Legislature may decline to CONS. In every such
CASE the peope Of the o1nty senatorial district
should select some influential and intelligent clti-
zen who Is willing to take Part In this business,
and commission him, far as they can to represent
them at the conference The views and purposes
of the members Of the Legislature should be ascer-
talned at once.
Every one can forsee difficulties In the way Of
formal action In the beginning. Several complex
questions arc to be met at the threshold, but
where there's will there's 6 way" and whatever
the difficulties presented, the important business
mus. be undertaken.
