lumbia and retroceded to the State of Vir-
ginia. Should the iniquity be perpetrated, It
NAV occur to the Legislature of Virginia to re-
scind the act by which her portion OF the DIS
trict was originally coded to the General Gov
ernment. If legislative action Is TO DC uh-
done. IL is as competent for Virginia 10 unuo
her acts as it is for the Congress OF the ohlteo
States. And when the State gets about this
sort of work, she will hardly overlook the act
by which certain body, assuming to exercise
legislative powers, assented to the division of
the State and the erection of another State
within her borders. Let Senator Wade go
ahead, then, and establish, if he can, the right
of resission in respect to legislation of this
character. 1t will be valuable precedent for
us.
How the people of Alexandria-that seat
of true Virginianism-relish the thought of
being torn again from the embrace the old
Commonwealth may be seen from the natural
indignation with which our even-tempered
friend of the Gazette expresses himself. In his
issue of Thursday evening, he says:
There probably never was, in any community,
more unanimous, determined and heartfelt condem-
nation of any proposition than that which is now
expressed in this place against the recent movement
of Senator Wade. II has been sprung upon MS
without consulting the wishes or feelings Of our peo.
pe it is prejudcal to all onr interests violative OF
our rights insulting to State, detrimental to our
hopes of future prosperity and calculated to pro-
duce present mischief and future trouble. The re-
PROCESSION of Alexandria to its present State was ac-
coded to by the General Government by the state OF
Virginia, and by the people directly Interested It
was acquiesced in by the people of the whole county
Alexandria became an integral part and portion
of the Commonwealth Of Virginia. To take it from
the jurisdiction of the State, to transfer it in the
manner proposed would be as great an outrage al
most as history has ever recorded in re dsmember-
ment of States and the arbitrary operation of des-
potic authority. There is more right to transfer
Alexandria to the General Government, without the
consent of the State of Virginia. than there is to
"annex" Richmond or Norfolk. The case is too
plain for argument As to the local injury to he in
ilicted every man knows what that would he under
the circumstances. We repeat what we have said
before, bad as the times cannot believe that
This outrage will be allowed to be perpetrated."

Important Question in the kentHeky Court OF
AnnnaIs

During the existence of the late rebeI-
lion, the Legislature of hentacky passed
laws authorizing the County Court, in
the counties Of Boone and Gallatiu TO lew
a tax upon the property and people of
those two counties, TO raise a Bounty
Fund, or 20 reimburse those who might
advance the money, and offer aud rav sif
tclent bOunties TO volunteers TO relieve the
people of these counties from the oppera-
ton Of the draft ordered by the President
OF the United States. The fund 10 be
raised IN these counties amounted to 800
coo. The people Of those counties i'm
mediately became responsible for and
raj ed the 100000, looking for reimburs-
ment 10 the levy and collection of the tax
as authorized by the Legislature. The
draft was avoided IL both counties by the
use OF the money thus raised by the peo-
pie.
The County Courts then proceeded to
levy the tax for the purpose of raising the
funds 10 reimburse the people who had
stepped forward and reliesed the people
from the opperation of the draft; but
when the Sheriff was about 10 collect the
tax, IN Gallatin, and when the County
Court in Boone, vas about to order the
levy Of the tax, 4 large mum Der of the
tax A-pdyerS OF these counties brought in
suits equity, and enjoined the collection of
the taz, alleging that the several acts Of
the Legislature authorizing the levy and
collection OF the tax were unconstitution-
al and void The Judges of the Circuit
Court decided tha. these laws were con-
stltutiona!, and thas the tax must BE paid.
The complaining parties prayed an appeal
to the Court OF Appeals, and the cases
have been set for hearing on the 18th dav
Of June. The legal questions involved in
these suits being of the utmost import
lnce to the people of the whole country.

The gentle smile, the winning way.
That blessed our H:=-path day by day.
Where aet those accents soft aud low
That thrilled our hearts s'o-a year ago?"
Al! vacant is the hreside chair,
TIE smile that won no loage. there;
From door and hall, from porch and IawE,
The echo ofthe voice Is gone,
And We wno Iiager only know
How much was los. s'one year ago -
Beside her grave the marble white
Keeps silent guard hy day and night,
Serene she sleeps, nor heeds the tread
OF footsteps Ger her IoVIy bed
Her puiseless breast no more may know
The pangs af life zone year ago 50
But Why repine7 a few more years,
i few more broken .ighs and tears.
And We, enlisted with the dad,
shall follow where her steps have fed
To lkat far world : Joic.1E 60
To which she passed Zone year ago {"
