Re-Union of Virginia.

A West Virginia correspondent of the Rich.
mond Wing advocates, in strong terms, the re-
union of Virginia. He says:
''The fact that the subject of reunion Of
dismembered Virginia is beingagitstef in your
Legislative Halls fills the hearts of thousand:
in West Virginia with inexpressiblc joy.
MesSrs. Garnett and Patterson erred when
they declared that "West Virginia had sought
separation" The voice of the people of West
Virginia has never been heard on this question
Only some 10, 900 or 10000, out of upwards o.
10000, had an opportunity to vote uponit; and
it is fair to presume that at least one-third Of
those who did vote, voted against separation
so that this State was severed from Old Vir.

wards of 10000 voters.

United States Taxes.


In the House Of Delegates of Virginia, on
Saturday the 18th instant, joint resolution
was passed, That the President and Congress
Of the United States be respectfully requested
TO suspend the collection of the internal revenue
taxes which accrued previously tothe appoint
ment Of collectors and assessors in the respec-
tive revenue districts of the State; but that il
the interest Of the country requires that said
taxes shall be paid by the people of Virginia,
then that further time be allowed for the pay
ment thereof, and that the same may be ex-
tended through a series of years, a certain pro-
portion to be paid in each year.
And thar if the said taxes of 1861 are to be
paid, the General Assembly will assume the
payment thereof and will proceed to levy and
collect the taxes necessary to meet this Obliga-
ton.
The reasons set forth in the preamble are,
that the people of Virginia are greatly impOv-
erished, and that to pay at one time the direct
tax Of August, with the other taxes levied upon
them by Congress, and the necessary State
taxes, must reduce many of them to very great
straits, and greatly retard the resuscitation Of
the State.

Il would be tedious task to attempt to give
the reader Of weekly paper an idea Of the do

that majority Of the members have disease
called Negro on the Brain" Hour after hour

Of the remarks have no claim to the dignity Of
speeches. against the helpless people of the
City Of Washington, because they voted al
most unanimously against the infection Of ne
gro suffrage; making the District of Columbia
= receptacle for all the eontrabands from Ma
EyiAnd, Virginia, and other contiguous States.
And most Of the defamation on the subject
Is by members from States which do not al
low negroes to vote, and in which they are a
fraid to make the issue at the polls.
Whether oheredin Jest or earnest, the follow
ing item foreshadows the next phase of the ne
gro question;
Mr. Broomall, Of Pennsylvania, introduced a
preamble setting forth that as the white men
Of the District of Columbia lately voted that
the black man shall not vote therein; therefore
ResOlred, That the committee for the Dis
trict Of Columbia be instructed to inquire into
the expediency of ordering an election by the
black men Of this District, who shall decide by
ballot whether or not in their opinion white
men shall be allowed the right of suffrage

sured by Mr.. Garrett, President of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company, that the
new line Of Railroad from the Point of Rocks
will be carried direct to Washington, and will

This must be gratifying to the people of the
