VIRGINIA< NEWS.

On Wednesday last, the Federal soldiers
left Woodstock, in company with those who
left Harrisonburg On the evening before the
soldiers left Woodstock, one Of them, by the
name Of Curley, attempted to break into seve-
raj houses, at the same time eurslng the Sc
cesh, boasting that be. was. a ''tull- blooded
Yankee" and that he g'oried.ln having help
ed to free negroes. A squad OF soldiers went
to arrest him, and shot him IN the arm. On
the way to the barracks an officer met the par
ty and cudgelled the desperate for bis outra-.
geous conduct.
Quite, q connection was raised few days at
ter Christmas by the arrest Of all the merchantss
of Hampton, by order Of General Miles, and
their imprisonment at Camp Hamilton. lne
offence of which they were accused was that CT
selling liquor without his authority. All OF
them had regular licenses from the county TOR
carrying on their business in all its branches.
A military court was assembled, and the par
ties tried, and sentenced to pay foe OF two
hundred dollars, and the matter now rests Tor
the approval Of General Miles.
In Lexington recently the meat houses and
store rooms of Gen r. b. Lee, Ez-Gov: Letch,
er, Judge Brockenbrough, Mrs: Jordan and
others were entered by rogues who carried Oh
bacon, beef and -four in considerable quantities.
The Federal soldiers at Harrisoaburg short
time since, caught The teacher in the Freed
mems Bureau of that place, and would have.
tarred and feathered him, but had no feathers.
The teacher disappeared and has not been seen
or heard ofin that place since.
There are about 100 students at Washington
College, and 40 at the Military Institute at
Lexington, Va.
The Lynchburg Virginian says I'VE IN

up petition for the abolition of the Freed

RESULTS. I general negro suffrage is to pre-
vail, the negroes will be ia power in several
States Of the South, and will have such State
Offices as governor, Judges, secretaries, treasu-
rers, commissioner OF canals or railroads, schools
police trade, and benevolent institutions The
dominant blacks Will have their black preachers
and teachers for churches and schools where
both races may have to resort. The militia
officers and the police will be blacks. City Of
fcials will be blacks, and in counties there Will
be negro justices Of the peace, postmasters and
constables. Every inducement or consiaera-
ton will urgently demand the education Of
blacks for the learned professions.
We shall have IN Congress several black Sen
ators and forty Representatives,. These, after
the fashion Of giving Office and patronage here,
will insist upon having their share Of Offices in

The National IDtelIigencer publishes the
speech madein the Senate yesterday, or. s'recon-

Union sentiment Of the country, and yet 1urth-
er measures and advocate doctrines which 1nl-
ply an equality OF the States, is exposed with
uncommon cogsncy.
The Second United States coIored regiment,
Colonel Townsend, were paid yesterday, and
will be mustered out to-day. There was due
the men six months pay and bounty, which
will amount to nearly $3.50, 600. As these
men mostly belong to the D. Of G.. the amount
thus put in circulation will be great relief to
many.

A peculiar style Of wearing the hair among
the ladies, at the last reception at the Pres-
dents House, in Washington, was the subject
of much comment, aud the remarks were, for
the most part, altogether in its favor, as be-
coming substitute for the waterfall. The hair
was allowed to tallits full length, without fet-
ter Or bond Of any description, and was thought

Almost With one. accord, the Virginia news
papers treat with deserved contempt the threat
and the bosh about#the 'mooted'' resignation
#of GOV. Peirpcint, because the Legislature
would not elect certain State officers, that 1t.
was supposed he wanted to be elected. 1t IS
now said, on all hands, that while the Leg1sla-
ture aud people should maintain their allegiance
to the government, and theirsubmission to the
laws, and in all respects conform to the altered
condition OF affairs consequent upon the resto-
ration of the Union, there is no occasion what
ever 70 be begging the personal favor, Or sue
cumbing to the whims, or humbly following
the views, of particular individuals, IN Or cut OF
Office. The people have done, and are doing,
every thing that the proper authority and the
laws require; to ask them, or their representa-
tives, to do more, is to require humiliation and
degradation.

It is very well known, and admitted by the
best and truest Union men in the country, that
what is called, by some, Loyalty, is by Ger
tain set Of politicians per7ertiDg the meaning
of the word, often used as mere cover for the
worst and most vinoictye passions-or as the

Senate, expressing sounder sentiments in different
language, and providing for a committee from each
