by his most unparrelled example how
much Virginia's sons can do and dare
when her honor is at stake. Never
shall we be poor while these memories
remain. Never can we feel ourselves
poor while we are able to invoke these
memories. Richer than placer or
mine, more fertile than the deep valleys
ofthe West or the Indian plains are
our halowed battle fields, the places
where onr glorious record was won,
the places where Our beloved sleep.
No, old Virginia is not poor, nor can
be. By all thoses graves which we
cherish, and the places which beheld
their deeds; by the storn-swept battle
harried desolation of Manassas; by
the blue hills that grid the Valley and
look down upon thousands fields Of
victory by the banks of Rappahan-
mock, and the immortal record of Fred
ericksburg; by the tangled thickets of
the Wilderness, and the blood soaked
plain of Spottsylvania by Cold Harbor,
and embattled Petersburg, and the
gapes that still mark in our own
streets here how stern was our last
despair; by the dead whom we mourn {;
by the MANNED whom We honor and
care for; by the survivors, not less
noble: BY our brave women and our

A Word TO The SENATE or THE
UNITED STATES. is the caption of an
article in the New York Evening Post,
a Republican journal, as all know,
from which we republish the following
rebuke Of g recent act Of Gov Brown
low:
The Senate yesterday permitted it.
self to be outraged by the reading of
a most indecent dispatch from Cover
nor Brownlow, Of Tennessee, to j. W.
Forney, the secretary Of the senate,
which dispatch, it seems, Mr. Forney
had previously published in his paper.
We hope the senate will yet vindicate
It's self-respect by Diminishing from his
place Of secretary, a person who could
this violate the decencies of life, and
show such fragrant disrespect to the
office Of the chief magistrate, as he
did by making public Gov Brown
lows dispatch. The senate owes it to
its own dignity, and to the preserva-
ton Of the public morals, to relieve
from duty Immediately, an officer who
has so little sense Of propriety and
decency as Mr.. Forney has just shown.
"Gov Brownlow is, perhaps, be-
yond reform; he has grown up in a
community where it seems to have
been the unfortunate habit of politi-
clans to appeal to the passions Of the
people rather than their common
sense. He is certainly a great scold !;
but we remember many other south
ern men who misused their tongues in
the same manner We hope one of
the results of the "new order of
things will be the substitution Of ap-
peals to the reason for such vulgar
personalities"

Misconceptions.

We apprehend that certain gentle
men, in Mississippi, are very much in
error in regard TO the spirit which an
minated hose who originally advo-
Gated the proposed Philadelphia Con-
venton. 1t appears to be supposed
by some, that test oath Of loyalty,
similar to that prescribed for officers
Of tue general government, will be ad-
ministerel to ali who tlke seats in the
Philadelphia Convention; and they
profess to get this idea from the yer
biage of the call for that Convention,
in which it is announced that the as
semblage is to be composed Of slogan
men. We feel very certain that it was
never contemplated, for a moment, to
tender that, or any other oath, to the
delegates; and that the qualification
Of loyalty" spoken of in the call,
simply means that those who compose
the Convention are expected to be
friendly to the reconstruction of our
political institutions on the basis Of 4
Constitutional Union, and Sincerely
DESTROYS, for the future, Of supporting
such & government IL good faith, and
discouraging all attempts at future sc
cession OF revolution If this were
not the spirit in which the Convention
was called, il was vain and farcical TO
call upon the Southern States 10 send
forward their delegates If We be
rightin our conclusions as 10 the quail
locations Of Southern members to the
Convention, We can assure all persons
that there are hundreds and thousands
ofintelli gentm men in the seeding States
who can conscienuou5ly and honestly
occupy seats III that body Indeed,
the great mass ofthe people Of Missis-
sipDi are very DESTROYS Of reconstruct
ING the old government in substantial
accordance with the policy Of the
President and no event would afford
them more qualification than see the
re-estabHshment, in the land Of Peace,
Liberty and Law
Time will very soon demonstrate
what this Philadelphia Convention
really is, and show Us its actual aims
and purposes. In the meantime, we
adhere 10 the belief that the Conven-
ton Will prove itself to be exactly
what is profcssed--an assemblage Of
patriotic, conservative men, whose
only object is TO lay the foundations
and erect the superstructure Of q new
party, the distinctive policy Of which
new party, will be TO rebuild the fall
len fabric Of Liberty T.. 70 bring back
the government to the purity and viz
tue Of the olden time, and re- establish
the Union Of the States upon the basis
Of the Constitution. And if this be
the object Of the assembly, 50 far from
opposing it, all of US ought to support
it jealousy and heartily. It is alto
gether gratuitous, unwise and Unau'
thorized to brand the proposed Con
,eation as q mere trick of 'politicians
bY trade" on bars unsupported sus-
piyion, and il the absence Of all eyi.
dence TO support the assaiIment.
We expect great good to result from
the action Of the Convention. At all
events, it is scarcely possible that any
evil can be produced by its delibera-
tons.
