The Admission of West VirgInia-Ed-
ward Batess Letter.

1t is evident to him who seeks for historic
cal truth that the admission of West Virginia
during the administration of President Lin
coin, was an act based upon the dogma acted
upon by the cabinet and Congress, that Meth
er State ordinance of secession, nor the ex-
istence Of rebellion in a State, could take
State out of the Union. The doctrine held by
President Lincoln and tie Cabinet and Con-
gress was, that these acts We're mere utilities
and incapable OF efecting the withdrawal of
State out of the Union.
The subsequent action Of the radicals was
an afterthought, which found it necessary to
adopt the dogma asserted and fought for by
the South, that the seeded States were out of
Union. This adoption Of the Southern theo-
~ of secession, by the radicals, places them
in position not only opposed to the views of
Mr.. Lipclu his Cabin ct and the legislative
brar Il tie Government, but is preposter-
o I'D absurd.
'or, it admits the accomplishment of the

was undertaken BY the United States Gov
ernment. The present position of the radi-
Gals YVES mere afterthougbt in order to JUS

was to be refused to the South, and her posi-
ton in the Union denied. Their professed
reverence, therefore, for the sentiments of
Abraham Llucoln, is mere sham for, thei

The latest reports from the hop districts

Reports similar to these come from the ship

greatest distress has existed among ship
builders on both sides of the Thames. Thou
sands of persons have been thrown ont of

scarcely dozen men now find employment.

New Orleans, Oct. 16.-The Mississippi
Legislature met yesterday in extra session.
The Governors message says that the neces-
sites of the State constrained him to call the
Legislature. 1t was not special emergency
but a general exigency, resulting from the
altered and deranged condition of our federal
relations and domestic affairs.
He states that the removal of the negro
troops from the State and the transfer of the
Freedmen's Bureau to officers of the regular
army are subjects of congratuation. He de-
plores the state of the country, and encloses
the constitutional amendment, but presumes
that the mere reading of it will ensure its re-
lection. He recommends the admission OF
negro testimony in all courts, and requests
that provision be made for the education OF
the INDECENT children of Confederate soldiers,
and for the relief of destitute disabled Conled-
crate and State soldiers.
