PE1RPo1NT's MESSAGE.

In another column will be found the mes
sage of the above named individual, to the
Legislature of Virginia, now in session at
Richmond. We publish it not because we
approve either its spirit or recommendations,
but as marking a strange era in the history Of
the Old Dominion. Who among US would
have dreamed six years ago, that such LAM
guage would ever be addressed through the
Executive chair to the representatives Of the
proud old State, the cradle of chivalry and
the mother of statesmen. Alas, it is sad
stage in our history when our helplessness is
Haunted in our teeth and made the occasion
of haunting us with outrageous and insulting
proposals, and this, too, let it be rememt cred,
coming from one who fills the Executive of.
fce-not by the consent of the citizens of
the State, but toisted there by the force of
arms. But if this were not cnough-what is
to be thought Of the Senate of Virginia, who
taking counsel from Peirpoint's suggestions
and their own weak-knecd fears, hastily adopt
his recommendations, thereby proclaiming to
cur Northern enemies that we are ready to
kiss the rod that smites US, and that we bow
in affect submission to the CALLING yoke, and
that we are but plastic victims to these hcllish
wrongs.

T. IT. PE1nPo1NT.
From Wednesdays Senate Proceedings j
Summers New Bill.

Mr.. Sumner, according to previous notice,
Introduced a .bIll to provide republican form
of government for the late rebeIIious States
In doing so he said he did not forget that
Congress- had already passed what is known
as the military BILL which has in it certain ell
emcnts OF reconstruction but at the time of
the passage of that bill he did not disguise
his sense Of its incompIeteness. 1t Is not
enough. 1t is not what the loyal people of
the South have right to expect from Con-
gress. 1t cOntemplates reconstruction, but it
does not supply the proper machinery. Then
again, such machinery as is to be employed is
left in the hands of the existing government,
which the bill declares to be 1llcgh. There
seems to me fatal defect in the whole bill
l hesitate very much to criticise a measure
which has in it SO much OF good, which as
serts the complete jurisdiction of Congress
over that whole region, and ordains universal
suffrage without distinction of color. But I
sm obliged to add my conviction that some
thing more is needed in order to give to the
loyal people of those States the protection
which they have right to expect.
The bill OF Mr.. Sumner is a very lengthy
one. It DISTINGUISHES all who participated
in the late rebellion and enfranchises tie col
ofed people of the South, and provides for
the establishment of civil government on
the basis of loyal voters. 1t was ordered to
be printed and to lie upon the table until the
committees are formed.
Mr.. Sumner introduced bill to prescribe
an oath to maintain republican form of gov
eminent in the rebel States, which prescribes
That every person in any State, except Ten
Ressee, lately declared to be in rebellion,
shall, before he shall be allowed 70 vote or
hold Office, take an oath or affirmation to main
taiha republican form of government in the
State of which he is an inhabitant and in
the United States, will recognize the indlsso-
luble unity of the Republic, and discounte-
nance all efforts to break away or secede from
the Union; that he will give his influence to
maintain the national credit, and discounte-
nance the reputation of the war debt of the
United States, and the payment of the rebel

Is there not silver lining to the blacklist

in the whole of this business May it not
be that there is blessing hid in all these
thunders ? May it not be that our colored
friends will continue TO be our friends, and
that thousands of thom will seek the assist

votes? May it not be that the whites here
will control the colored vote without serious

not how to evolve, a result that will be gratis

One thing is certain, He has hand in all
that is going on. And if we do our duty,
there is prosperous fortune for US in the
womb of these events that is bound to come
to the birth. We understand that some per-
sons have had their faith weakened in God,
because we lost the Southern Confederacy.
Their faith was small Shall not the Judge
of all the earth do right?

RATHER HEAVY.

We were informed by a gentlemen the
other day, that propert5in Berkeley county,
the annual rental OF which, previous to the
war, when it was in good condition and re-
pair, never exceeded $1,000, was last year
assessed to pay tax of fire hundred and
t;centy-tsro dollars! When it is remembered
that this property was subjected to the desc
lations of war for four years, it will be readily
understood that the West Virginia assessors
are not disposed to act fairly in the valuation
of property. especially if owned by rebel or
rebel symPathizer; nor is it less apparent that
to pay such excessive taxation is tantamount
to cODfscation of the property to the use
and bchoof of Boremans government. How
long our landhoiders and others can bear such
oppression is not very hard question to
solve, and but one other step is necessary in
radical legislation to complete their vindic-
tive purposes, and that is for the State to be-
come general landlord.

PUBLIC MEETING.

Tn view of the great and increasing desti'
tuition among the people of the Southern
States, public meeting of the citizens of
Jefferson county, will be held in the Lecture
Room of the Presbyterian Church in Charles
town, on Saturday, the 10th inst, at II
o'clock, for the purpose of devising means
to aid in the relieving our suffering country
men. Arrangements for the prompt trans
portatlon of contributions Of provisions and
money will be made, so that all donations
will as speedily as possible be conveyed to
their destinations.
We do not deem it necessary to add sim
gle word of exhortatiOu or appeal in order to
stimulate the liberality of the people of this
community to meet the demands of this &C.
casiOn. Their history in the past contains
too many noble deeds of benefcence for a
moments doubt as to their response to the
mournful and heart-rending cries of distress
which. come to them from our brethren in the
South.
Let the meeting then be full, and let each
one come with hand as open as day to
melting charity"

a GOOD INSTITUTION.

The people of Jefferson and Berkeley have
special reasons for liking the new State of
West Virginia. 1t is an institution which
appeals strongly to their affections, and it is
only the obdurate and cold hearted who fail
to appreciate its excellencies. It's public SER
wants are men who, by their past services in
behalf Of the interests of the people: have
ton For instance, our valued friends Chap
line and hOonce. Why should not the peo-
pie think well of these gentlemen? Arc
they not sans pure, sans rcprOdchP Who
can lay aught to their charge as disinterest-
cd and incorruptijIc patriots? Were they
not 'loyal' throughout the four years strug-
gle which wound up with the triumph Of the
cold flag? ?" And if they did make a little
money by underhand traffic with rebels and
rebel symPathizers, hadn't they the example
of such illustrious patriots as Butler and
Banks? Surely they are not to blame, if in
the hours Of opportunity, they managed to lay
aside mite for. wintry weather, and if they
didn't get rich 1t was perhaps because the
Pasturage was not so good at Harper's Ferry
and ShePhcrdstowu, as it was with Butler
and Banks in Louisiana
The above article has been written to
show that we have no ill-wilI towards either
ChaPiine or Koonce, notwithstanding their

State.

Adjournment.

We know that the announcement of the
adjournment of the Legislature of West Vir-
gnia, will be hailed with feelings of pleasure
The Wheeling Register thus beautifully
touches off, this now defunct body -
The Legislature of West Virginia is de-
funct institution. Thursday found it IN arttculo
morris, and ere midnight come, its dissolving
agonies were over. Its brief and inglorious
career is ended ; its race is run. For this and
all similar benefactions the Lord make us
truly thankful We have neither time nor
inclination to revert to the innumerable dark
passages in the history of the illustrious de-
parted, by way of comment or criticism. 1t
was bad enough to lay bare the fostering COR
ruptons of the living body, but to attempt
the dissection Of the putrd carcass is rather
more than the nerves and olfactories can
stand. Nevertheless we cannot omit this op-
portunity to say few words of valediction
to the prominent brethren in that distinguish
ed parliament, now collectively dead, but
which it is feared will not have fulfilled its
destiny until majority of its members are
individually damned. We know they will
hold us in grateful remembrance and we can
not pass over this opportunity to inform them
that we expect to reciprocate the pleasing re-
collection. How for example could We for
get the dementcd Daniel, Senator from Up
shur, model patriot ilustrious statesman,
glorious humbug
How shall rank thee upon honor's leaf?
Scarce less than IDIOT and not any less than thief
All thou hast stolen of pork or beef, veal,
IL nahght to what thou art disposed to steal
Nor can we pass in silence that valiant,
red-headed son of thunder, the bonlbastic
brigadier from Ritchie county Like the
deeds of the distinguished Furguson, whose
knavery he equalled, and whose brains he
envicd, we shall remember with the liveliest
satisfaction the honorable exploits of Mr..
Harris and our pleasure in their venGIation.
Chapline and whisky smuggling, Mann and
his grand jury experiences, and picture fright,
parson Young and the substitute business,
Furguson and his luggage lifting and all the
other pleasing personal "reminiscences, of this
Legislature will form subjects for frequent
contemplation, and if any hour of our future
leisure should be devoted to criminal history,
we can assure our departing friends that their
biographies will be copied faithfully, accu-
rately, and We trust satisfactorily With
these closing assurances we leave the Legis-
lature to the uncertain n1erccs of fortune,
and the not uncertain attentions of eternal
justice when dead:
''For ii, We powers divine!
Ye mark the movements of this neither world,
And bring them to account,
You'll crush the vipcrs yet,
Who singled out by a community
To guard their ri .hts, shall yet, for ends corrupt
Or palt-y office, sell and betray them"

The Richmond Examiner gives excel
lent advice to the people Of the State, in this,
their present extremity. No difference of
opinion about policy should be allowed for
one moment to ALLEVIATE their feelings, or to-
sow dissension or discord among them. If
they were mad enough to pursue different
course, it would be ouly doing what their OBJ.
