I Hon. w. 4. WILEY ON THE Re-
UNION OF VIRGINIA.-Mr. Wiley has
written letter touching reunion OF
East and West Virginia. He has been
requested SO TO do by gentlemen in both
states. He sets out by declaring that
the new state was not made as "war
measure,n but because of irre.oncilable
interests, and the war merely afforded
the needed opportunity. He proceeds /:
" But in reference to the proprety of
the reconciliation of the two states,
suppose there can be 10 difference of
opinion among all we'll informed and
well disposed West Virginians. Nor do
[ suppose, if the people of (old) Virginia
would dismiss from their minds the sug-
gestions of passion and the influences of
state pride, and would calmly and ra-
tionally consider the question, that they
would desire the reunion of the two
states. Indeed, / happen to know that
many of them are decidedly opposed to
it; not from any such vindictive reasons
as are assigned by Mr.. Garnett, but be-
cause they see that separation is the best
for the interests of both states.
"The two states are geographically
distinct. There never has been, and
there never can be, any real, harmoni-
Gus and profitable municipal union be-
tween them. There are, and must for
ever remain, physically separated. To-
day, If the people of three-fourths of

THE PRESIDENT, GEN. GRANT. AND
THE DIsLoYAL PRESS. The National
I,ata16gencey of Thursday has the follow
ing: ta# - t6ssf
We take pleasure in contradicting, as
we feel warranted in doing, the repre-
sensations which are extensively pub
lished that some alienation of feeling
between the President and the Lieut.
General was involved as q consequence
of the matter of the suppression and re-
vival of a Richmond newspaper. If it
be considered by the public that the
revocation Of the order, authorized in
the first instance by General Grant for
certain reasons, was accompanied blythe
publication of an order, founded upon
those reasons, of general application in
the several military departments of the
country, it will be seen that the sub
Stance Of General Grants action was
affirmed by the President IN a way
which properly involved rescission OF
the particular order which had been thus
superseded. These circumstances, there
fore, do not afford that occasion for the
uneasiness which certain parties are SO
DESTROYS to promote, which n difference
of opinion could in any case supply.
