WHAT GOVERNOR WELLS SATs.-Gorernor
Wells, of Virginia, arrived last evening on
business relating 10 his State. He says that
civil affairs in Virginia were in n very good
condition until recently, when the rebel pub
locations conceived the notion that they
should vote at the coming Presidential cleo
Lion, Notwithstanding the State has not yet
been reconstructed. Made bold by the north
ern copperhead press, these men talk OF
placing a Seymour and Blair electoral ticket
in the field to be voted for in November next.
In fact, in the seventeenth congressional dis
trict of the State Il DR.. Hill has already been
nominated an elector. The Governor at one
line thought that this might tend TO disturb
the peace, but since the elections of last Tues
day he has dismissed all such fears. He says
that the October elections have utterly de-
moraliZed the Virginans They are filled
with dismay, and are already beginning to
cry, Hold, enough" 1t is a second " Five
Forks" to them and they seem willing to let
US have peace. Should they insist upon voting
in November, the Governor says he will sign
no certificates of election, and it may be added
that General S1oneman will bly, take
he same course in the premises. Washington

Important Decisfon-EMect OF the
Late War ON Insurance Policies.
In the Superior Court Of Baltimore, on
Monday, Judge Dobbin filed an Important
opinion:
bs. James Knor.-This is a suit instituted BY the
plaintiff, n corporation created by the laws Of
Virginia, and having It's principal office in
Lynchburg, against the defendant citizen
or the State of Maryland, resident in BaIti-
more, to recover the amount of a promissory
note given for the premium of insurance on
the schooner Graham for one year from
the oath of March, 1851, tho date of the policy
being the Esd of March, 1861.
The Judge held:
First. The existence of war does not now, as
was formerly held annul contracts between
c'uZens oil the respective contendng nations
made anterior to its breaking out but only
snspends the remedy upon them during the
tendency OF the war, unless they be executory
IN their character and require for their exc
cution that commercial intercourse shall be
maintained between the contracting parties (;
or unless they be of q character calculated to
hinder. or TO repair by indemnity, the acts of
war OF the country whose courts are called
upon to enforce the contract.
Secondly. The right to sue upon contracts
thus affected with suspension Of remedy re-
| wives upon the restoration OF peace, and
| thereafter exists as amply as IL the war had
| newer arisen. hppiyEHR THESE principles 10
| the premium note which is the subject of this
suit, we find it is liable to none of the objec-
! tons which would dissolve its obligations as
| u contract but must be associated with that
| class the remedy upon which was only sus-
pended during the tendency of the war, and
IS by the return of peace now revived, unless
| il can be successfully maintained that the
] policy for which it constituted the considera-
| ton was itself dissolved by he breaking out
| OF hostihties. We must try the policy, then,
| by the same rules to which we have subjected
| the note
1t WAS made before the war broke out and
! was then valid contract. 1t is not executory
| word is to be understood in connection with
| this subject, and does not necessitate any IN
tercourse between the contracting parties du-
ring the continuance of the war. 1t is not
| chargeable with being injurious to the Gov
| eminent Of the United States, because the
| courts will not consLrue the general clause
| against capture TO include a capture by the
| cruisers of that government lBrandon Us.
| Gushing, East. 4lO; and indemnity to the
defendants against capture by the Confederate
| cruisers would be rather in aid OF than III OPP
| position to the Government Of the United
| States. We find, then, that this contract OF
| Insurance. being free from any of the condi-
| tons which would cause it to be dissolved by
| the war, stands only in the category OF those
| the remedy upon which is still in the courts.
