OF THE population of Virginia, two
thirds are white and one-third black,
but the criminal expense of the State
last year for negroes amounted to over
three hundred thousand dollars, while
that for the white criminals was only
seventy-two thousand, and, liz addition
10 this, the white people of the STATE
bear most all the expense of the negro
free schools. What this country will
be compelled to do with its alien races
at home and in its conquered provinces
is a problem for the consideration of its
Risest statesmen.

ALMOST SOLELY and alone Mrs.
General Pickett has come to the de-
Tense of Secretary Alger and says that
no matter what Generals SKATER, Mer-

have done, it was the Secretary who
planned the whole business and is
therefore justly entitled to the entire
credit of the successful termination of
the war, and should receive the reward
thereof.

1fthis country

IFdriiled and disciplined negro troops
in the regular U. S. army, and COM
manded by white officers, cannot be
forced to observe the laws of the State
in which their camps are located, it is
no natural cause of wonder when those
who are uudrlled and undisciplined,
who are in the volunteer army, and
who are commanded by officers of their
own race, act upon the idea that white
citizens have no rights that they are
bound TO respect.

INTELLIGENCE from Spain is to the
Eject that the wiser people OF that
country look upon the less Of her colo
nies in the light of a blessing, and not
one in disguise either. Judging from
he character of the insurgents in those
colonies, it won't be long before the
United States will realize that the sez
ure and possession of them will prove
anything else than q blessing, either
open or disguised.

GENERAL BUTLER, according to the

GENERAL BUTLER, according to the
evidence educed at the investigation
of the recent affair of the 3rd Virginia
regiment, at Camp Alger, yesterday,
said the members of that regiment had
"made set of d. fools of them
selves about refusing to salute negro
officers" Well, the General from the
State that brought on the war between
the States may like to salute negro
officers, but white Vireinians, either in
or out of the volunteer army, do not,

that be treason, he can make the most

A New YORK republican newspaper
says "the Third Virginia, is the only
regiment that has brought disgrace
upon the volunteer army during the
late war" Why certainly! But the
list New York regiment, according to
the General who commanded it in the
Santiago fight, acted so cowardly that
il fell fiat upon the ground ard the
drawer men of other regiments had to
pass over it III order TO reach the enc
my. Then, too, several volunteer reg
iments 10 San Francisco were engaged
in a most disgraceful riot in that city
last week. Acts of other Northern
volunteer regiments almost as repre-
hensible could be mentioned; but be-
cause a few members of a Virginia reg
iment attempted to avenge an injury 10
one of their comrades, inflicted by
negro teamster, it is charged with bring
ing disgrace upon the volunteer army
Aud this, too, when the war in 'de-
tense of the honor and interests of the

THE THIRD REGIMENT.
NEW YORK, Aug. y.

Nch IOhhI mug I -
To the Editor ofthe Alexandria Gazette:
A friend of mine in this city called my
attention to the first account OF the
Camp Alger row, as published in the
New York papers. In which it app ear
ID that Gen. Butler endeavored to
bring the entire Virginin regiment into
disrepute. Iasked my friends here to
suspend judgement until the actual
facts were ascertained or until the Ga
zatte had time 10 make an inyestiga-
cation, when l felt certain you would
be heard from in defense OF the Third
Virginia Regiment. l read your arti.
lie Of yesterday and I find az the real
facts come to light, that Gen, Butler
was not only very hasty, but very un-
fair. He has not escaped criticism
here, for his general and sweeping
charge, and for his endeavor to bring
odium upon an entire regiment, for the
lisorderly acts of few; and as there
were members Of other regiments in
the melee, it would seem rather re-
markable that Gen. Butler, if au eye
witness, could during The down pour
of rain and great confusion) SO easily
discern the entire Virginia regiment
and yet overlook all the participants
from the ranks of other regiments. Il
locks very much as if there was
method in his madness" or that he
bad unrighteous designs on the Third
Virginia.
The affair as reviewed by Attorney
General Montague, Senator Martin,
Captain John Lamb, Col. Male is en-
tirely at variance with the unfair con-
struc;ion which Gen. Butler sought TO
put on the disturbance, to the discredit
OF the Virginia boys as whole. l send
you clipping from to-day's New York
Sun, which still insists that the "Fir-
gina soldiers were driven into camp by
detail from the 18th Pennsylvania and
the 1st Connecticut Regiments" and
continuing says Col. Male is fine
and excellent soldier, we'll thought OF
and admired by every man in the camp,
but he cannot handle the regiment by
himself" With this high estimate OF
Col. Males personality the censors OF
his regiment will have to cease their
vituperation, land admit his ability to
manage his troops unaided) after the
following Characterization from Col
Nalle himself, as published in your
Columns of yesterday "The statement
hat l ever gave any command to the
3rd Regiment, or any part thereof, thai
was not promptly obeyed, is untrue (;
the statement that Oh that occasion,
or any other occasion sought assistance
from any source as against the 3:d Vir
ginia Regiment is wilfully and NAL
iciously false
1 have not had, nor do 1 ever expect
to have tc ask for aid from outside
sources in managing my regiment and
its AFFAIRS This is to the point, and
tersely put. Hurrah for Col. Male !
Hurrah for the GsZstte both are ever
ready to defend the "old common
wealth" from unjust aspersions.

The following is the clipping referred
to above:
THAT the court will uphold General
Buffers action is without doubt. The
order allowing no one to pass out Of
the lines OF the Third Virginia has been
in force only one day. Since then 40
men have been absent without leave
and several have been arrested for be-
ing drunk and dlsorderly. The con
duct of the Virginia boys has been
anything but excellent. The greatest
number of prisoners brought before
the court-mariial comes from this regi
ment. One cause of the demoraliza-
ton is that the men are practically in
the district from which tine regiment is
recruited. Again, the officers do not aid
Col. Nalle. There intentions ale good,
but they lack the strength of character
and will to enforce discipline. Col.
Nalle is a fine and excellent soldier,
we'll thought Of and admired by every
man in camp, but he cannot handle the
regiment by himself"
