To the People of Virginia.

At regular meeting of the johnson Con-
stitutional Club, July 9th, it WAS unanimous
ly resolved that committee be appointed for
the purpose of calling a State Convention, to
elect delegates to the National Union Conven-
ton, to be held at Philadelphia on the 14th
day of August, 1866.
Pursuant to said resolution, State Con-
vention is hereby called, to meet at Peters
burg, on the Goth day of July, to consist of
one delegate to every fifty votes cast at the
last election from every city and county, and
one delegate at large from each city and
town.
Such delegates will be elected by called
meetings of such citizens as support the Pre-
sident in his efforts at reconstruction
Since the great object of this National
Union Convention is the restoration to the
South of their rights under the Constitution,
it is earnestly requested that each city and
county send its full representation, and such
editors throughout the State, az are favorable
to this call, are respectfully requested to pub
lish the above notice

Above we republish the call recently made
by the johnson Club of Portsmouth, and pa
pers favoring this scheme are requested to
copy it,
In previous impressions Of the Day Book
we have given what we regard as good rea-
sons why we should send delegates to the
Philadelphia Convention; and we here repeat
with emphasis, that in times of revolution,
there is not, nor can there be such thing as
mastery inactivity asd
"BEzoNIAN" has to say under which KIM;
ne serves; and it is as certain that some per-
sons will attempt to answer for Virginia, as
that the question has been put. Bearing this
in mind, let lis ask ourselves what effect a set
Of Virginia Radicals, calling themselves
Union men, would have 90 the action Of the
Philadelphia Convention. Can that body
give more than Virginia will ask Can ii
occupy higher ground in defence of our rights
than q so-called Virginia delegation WOULD
themselves take? These are questions preg-
nant with meaning for the Ferret" arc
already moving, with a view to occupying
seats in Independence Hall,
In view of these sound reasons, aud the
fact just stated, we beg our readers. if they
agres with us il opinion, to see that Norfolk
is duly represented at Petersburg on the 26th
Let us remember that, when those who were
hidden to the feast refused to go, the invita-
ton went out into the highways and hedges
and, just as surely as We pray to he excused

to our information. the question is not whether

The Case of Gen. Whittlesey.

The operations of the Freedmen's Bureau
have had an especial interest to the people of
Maine, from the fact that its affairs have been
conducted from the beginning by soldier so
distinguished and a Christian philanthropist
so pure as our own General Howard. That
interest has not been diminished, certain v,
by General Towards very natural preference
of Maine soldiers to discharge the subordi-
nate duties of the Bureau. When he selected
for these new and delicate duties, men of
whose personal worth he was well assured,
men so well and favorably known in Maine as
Generals Tillson and Whittlesey, for example,
the people of this State looked upon these az
pointments as additional guarantees for the
faithful performance of the important work
entrusted to his administration.
When the war began Mr.. Whittlesey was
dischargng the quiet duties of professor in
Bowdoin College. He went to the front first
as a chaplain, was subsequently commissioned
major, and now holds the brevet rank of
brigadier general, and is assigned to duty as
Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen's
Bureau for the State of North Carolina. To
accuse gentleman Of General Whittlesey's
position of lying and swindling is not light
matter. If he is believed to be guilty of con-
duct SO unbecomi az an officer and gentleman,
he should at once be summoned to appear be-
fore court martial, and if found guilty should
be dismissed the service. What will be
thought then of two officers who make these
accusations, not through the regular chan
nels, but in wanton disregard of all the cour-
tesies and decencies, through the columns OF
the daily newspapers! Not merely lhe pre-
vious standing of Gen. Whittlesey but the
common presumption of innocence till p,iIt is
proved, and proved after fair hearing Of
Doth sides, should have shielded his character
irom this cowardly, backbiting assault

perience in politics peculiarly adapts him for
such an Office" General Fullerton was for
merly Assistant Commissioner of the Freed
mems Bureau in Louisiana, where during his
brief administration he won the esteem of the
New Orleans rebels SO completely that he was
offered dinner on his departure. 1t was to

A line of introduction, kindly furnished at
Washington, procured for us ready admis-
sion to the Head Quarters of the Commander
Of the post, Major General Miles, to whom we
are greatly indebted for personal attentions
during the day-The General is the youngest
officer of his rank, in the U. S. service, being
only twenty-six years old. He is Massa-
chusetts man, who greatly distinguished HIM
self during the war, and comes by his rank
and profession, upon his merits. 1t would
not be surprising, therefore, if his promotion
should excite the envy of certain Irregular" Of
fcers, who can.see no excellence outside of
West Point; and who often do all in their
power to render uncomfortable any "volun-
teers" who may happen to occupy places
which they assume to belong only to officers
in the regular Inc. But General Miles has
a,basis of solid military merit to stand upon,
and can afford to be properly Independent in
his action. and bearing,-as he is.
