Virginia will talk of their ultimate SOW
ereighty or their reserved rights. The
nation will turn with disgust from the
very remembrance, of such talk, for Il
will be associated in the popular mn nd
with the rebellion"
If the doctrine of State rights, as
taught by the founders Of the govern
mehtI and endorsed by the Democratic
psrty, go under and die out" then then TIE si
present form of our government Will meet
the same fate; indeed this is substantial

Indicate that, in the new government,

that weare tending towards the establish

Mr.. EDIToR-I have seen the following no.
| tice in the New York DAILY News of a young
Virgnian. whose genius reflects credit on the
State, and therefore append short notice
of him which am sure will prove of interest
to his many friends: -.s-..
"Among the Southern gentlemen who have
settled in New York since the close of the
war, is DR.. w. 3. Whitehead, of Virginia. for
merly Chief Surgeon of Hills Corps HIS
Office is No Sc West Seventeenth street"
DR.. VIM B. Whitehead, spoken of above,
is the eldest son of Col. VIM. B. Whitehead
native of Suffolk, Va. Having graduated at
the Lexington (Va.) Military Institute, he
studied medicine and graduated at the Penn
sylvania Medical College
He then visited Paris to enjoy the rare OPP
portunities there offered to the Medical Stu
dent for improvement in the science of medi-
| cines. After having resided in Paris for some
two years, the "Crimean" war broke out He
made application to the Russian Government
and was Immediately placed in charge of one
| of the most important Hospitals in Sabasta-
pool. He remained in the Russian army till
the close of the war. When the South sece-
ded he took service in the Confederate army
and served under Jackson in all his memorable
marches, and accompanied him to Richmond,
| when "Little Mac" made his formidable move
upon that city; at that time he was chief
medical officer of the Brigade commanded by
General Arnold Elzey.
In the fierce attack which jackson made
upon McClellan's right flank at or near Me-
gainesville, General Elzey was dangerously
supposed at the time] mortaly wounded.
DR.. Whitehead was detailed by General Jack
son to accompany General Elzey to Richmond,
and to remain with him, and one of the most
remarkable escapes from death during the war
is the case we mention, and is allowed by all
to have been principally owing to the great
skill of DIR. w. as a surgeon. He soon re-
turned to the army and was ordered by Genl
Lee to remain with our wounded at Gettys-
burg He, with other Confederate Sur
geons, were imprisoned in Fort McHen-
ry. He soon made his escape from the
fort, took breakfast in Baltimore, and from
thence proceeded to Canada, thence to Berlnu-
da, thence to Wilmington, NC, and once
again in the Confederate army, where he re-
manned till the close of the war; For natural
ability, Requirements and experience in his
profession, we know of no Young man in the
country the equal of DIR. Whitehead, and the
people of New York are most fortunate in
having the services of such a man. s1 /.

The Temperance Cause.

1t will be seen, by an article in another CO.
lumn, that many prominent citizens in Virginia
have determined to try to revive this cause in
the State. 1t is certainly at low ebb in
Virginia at this time, and as regards the
''cause" in Norfolk, we believe the members
have disbanded sometime ago. In the efforts
which may be made in this direction, we trust
the blacks will be included. The amount of
drunkenness which exists amongst them at
this time in Eastern Virginia is appalling OF
course they are the customers" for the worst
poison that is distilled, and the bloated forms
that we meet upon our streets daily, attest the
ravages which this " fire is making amongst
them, lt-,l .,e, aa
Free from all restraints of law on this sub

when they get over this long I" Fourth OF July"
felic which they are now taking, they will
be in a proper frame of mind to listen to the
