This is cheering report from that great
State, and We hope strictly correct

The good old State of VIRGINIA
appears to be passing through the deep wa.
ters of affliction, in her efforts to re.establis
a State government. A portion of her own
people, have petitioned Congress to set aside
the present Legislature, and let the State fall
back into Professionalism. Another class
opposes "the government sent them by wa.
ter" as the Constitution framed at Alexan-
dria previous to the termination of the war,
is termed. The Legislature itself SENS to
to regard the Governor (Pierpont) as "con-
traband" property, and would gladly turn
him over to the United States Government.
Altogether, the condition of affairs is un.
satisfactory to everybody. We sincerely
sympathise with her people, who after
bearing the brunt of the war, have now to
encounter the bruut of the "Peace."
LEO, the Washington correspon-
dent of the Charleston Courier gives the
following highly interesting statement in
relation to the coup d etat about to be
sprung upon Congress. We think LEO is
rather rash
A resolution is to be offered in the
House by Mr.. Raymond, of New York, de-
claring the views of the Administration and
its conservative friends, upon the subject of
the relations of the South to the Govern.
ment, and taking the same ground with the
Crittenden resolutions of 1861, which all
remember, and which, if at hand, you can
here recite.
They declare that the object of the war
is only to preserve the Union, and that
when armed resistance ceases the relations
of the States to the Union should be re-
sumed.
This declaratory resolution will be Offer
ed as an administration measure, or rather
as the Presidents measure, and those of his
Cabinet who disagree to it will have leave
to 60 out.
The House of Representatives will either
adopt the resolution or reject it, or evade it.
They will not adopt or reject it. Adoption
would pledge them to the Presidents poll
cy. Rejection will hasten dreaded rup.
ture with the President. Evasion is the
only alternative. I have the best reason to
believe that, if the House shall, by any of
the Parliamentary lodges, get rid of the
question, the President will then issue his
Proclamation declaring the Union to be
all the States are recognized
as loyal TO the Union, and are entitled to
be considered by Congress as States in the
Union.
Moreover, may state that the Procla-
nation is already written.
