Political Affairs in Southwestern
Virginia,
Radical Republican Demon
StTUtiOn.
NEW YORK, Feb ia.


A dispatch received in this city from Rich
mond, Va, states that there is very strong
feeling of Radical Republcanism developing
itself in the southwestern portion of Virginia,
particularly in the counties bordering on
North Carolina. In Carroll county an organi-
cation known as the " Red Strings" recently
held meeting at Hillsville, which was adj
dressed by an ex-rebel officer. He proclaimed
their utilization to the radical party at the
North; denounced the present Legislature as
dislOyal, and advocated the adoption of the
Constitutional Amendment.
He demanded that they should have repre-
sentatives who would adopt that document,
and was particularly severe in his structures
upon the President, who, he said, should be
impeached and removed before there could be
any security for Union men in the country
They then paraded through the streets on
horseback and on foot, numbering about five
hundred, carrying The United States flag, and
were very expressive in their demonstrations
of loyalty to the present Congress.
They adopted resolutions calling for large
meeting of the organization at future day,
when they will take measures to make known
their grievances to Congress, with view to
procure immediate action for their protection
and relief.

Some curious facts in the case of the steam

spiracy was wormed on board under the lead
OF an ex-rebel officer named Read, to turn her
into CHILEAN privateer when out to sea. The
owners are now satisfied that they would have
lost their vessel but for the Interference of the
United States authorities.
