The Petersburg Index says s.Whenever
the measure of the late political movements
in Virginia shall be correctly taken-their
originators and participators will obtain cred
it for having accomplished much which is as
yet unacknowledged The assailants of those
who commenced and have carried on the re-
cent effort for pacifcation, have, without ex-
ception, lost sight Of one important point in
stating or arguing what has been done. Let
it be remembered that when the Richmond
Conference assembled, Congress, according to
the best authority, was about to order an
election in Virginia-an election which offer
ed the Underwood Constitution with no alter
native to this people So the Republican
State Committee had announced, and to this
belief the Conservative Committee assembled
in December As to the result of an election
held at the time then proposed, and under the
circumstances then obtaining, there can be
no doubt. We should have passed under the
abominable yoke Of the Constitution referred
to, having the additional certain infection of
officers to execute its provisions who would
have been chosen altogether from that class
from whom Virginia, and Virg inians of all
parties and races, have most to tear-the I'M
pudent, unprincipled carpet bag element of
which Wells is the master-spirit and the
truest ranrespntativn
This was the fate to preserve the State
from which the ''new movement" was under
taken. And certainly some degree Of sue
cess has attended the. effort. The election
has not been had-and every day which pass
es is day gained-a day in which reason
and interest, and the thousand natural infu-
cpces, which will at last produce harmuious re-
construction, are at work to render more i'm
probable the fastening of an oppressive fraud
upon the people of Virginia. We think
that in the intervals Of abuse our opponents
might at least do the Conference and its
Committee the justice to admit this much.

The we'll known former correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial, ('AIack,') now
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, seems to have
studied the variety of the genus HOMO known
as carpet-basgers, to some purpose. In o
letter from Washington of the I'd u!timo, he
says:
1t would be safe to wager thousand dol
lars that if hell were dosed with tartar emetic,
the last dregs Of the last resulting vomit
would be ten or dozen Of the style of men
who have come here under the Congressional
policy Of reconstruction to represent the
Southern States. They have already mani
festedss all tthe attributes of interlopers and
dead BEATS" aud have carried their cffront-
cry to such an extent as to disgust even the
most loyal Of their Northern Republican col.

which was proposed in one of the debates in
the revolutionary assembly of France, Mira
beau turned to him and said, My dear Alb
be. you have loosed the bull Do you think
he will not use his horns ?" The logic was
unanswcrable. And so with Congress and
the carpet baggers. They have not looscd
but created set Of the vilest wretches that
God in his wisdom tolerates to live, or man
in his folly hesitates to hang; and when they
look for anything but what they now complain
of, they only repeat the mistake Of which
Mirabeau reminded his colleague

The Lynchburs Virgirian speaks of the
carnival Of crime" which now prevails at
the North, and in some portions Of the West
and contrasts it with the condition Of affairs
in this State. Virginia, Notwithstanding she
is aunreconstructed" out Of the Union, and
under military rule, never was more orderly
and quiet than she is now. Notwithstanding
her State Government is upturned and dis
organized, her people are peaccable and law
abiding. We have right to be proul of
Virginia, at this contrast.

DEATH OF REV. HENRY A. WIsE.-It is
with sincere grief that we announce the
death of Rev Henry A. Wise, which occur
red at the residence of his father { Ex- Cover
nor Wise in this city, yesterday afternoon at
81 o'clock. For many months past he has
languishcd Of disease, consumption, that
allowed little or no hope of his recovery; but
his congregation, Christ's church, Baltimore,
refused his resignation, although he has been
for nearly year incapacitated for labor and
separated from them. In his death what
promised to be brilliant and useful career
closes forever. 1t has been many years since
the church of which he was member has
produced in this State one of whom, in his
entrance on the ministry, such high expeeta-
tons were reasonably INDUCED. His feeble
frame was the only drawback on powers of
oratory that could not have failed to give him
a position among the most eloquent preachers
of the day His age, we suppose, was some
thirty five or six. We regret that the late
hour at which the things Of his death reach
ed US does not allow US to speak Of him more
at length Whig, 1lM.
