The ADMINISTRATION AND V1RGrNIA.--Our
Washington correspondent notifies us that
the Chairman of the Virginia (Wells) Re-
publican State Committee has been informed
by the President Of his intention 10 throw
the Federal patronage Of tina: State in favor
Of that branch Of the party az against the
Walker or Conservative Republican inte-
rest. This promise will probably I've full
filed, rs the President evidently desires to
propitiatc itis Radical friends. who were not
litogcthcr satisfied with his former more
liberal treatment of tho Walkcritcs. The
spokesman Of the Wells faction, in return
for tho pledge Of the patronage, l. said TO
have declared their Willingness 10 have Nir-
ginia admitted 10 the Union In the next
Congress. If this is done we are confident
that the Conservative Republicans Of thai
state will not deplore the loss Of the Fede
raj loaycs and fishes. There Is hardly a',y
sacrifice that they are not willing To make
in order to recover their rights as citizens.
With regard to the policy pursued by the
President and majority of Congress in
keeping Virginia out SO long, and letting
her in only upon such conditions, time will
probably show that il has been great mis-
takc-one that will eventually recoil with
fatal eject upon the party responsible for it.
