The Lynchburg Virginian says in a
recent issue: We have been permitted
to read a private letter, written by Ex-
Governor Letcher, now at his home in
Lexington, to friend in this city. The
Governor had an interview with Presi-
dent johnson, with which he was much
pleased, the tendency of which was to
convince him that we have only to re-
cognize the existing state of affairs, in
regard to slavery as dead, and sustain
the Government, and the President will
do all for the South that we could ex-
pect. He is not vindictive toward us, as
some have supposed, and will, if sus


tained, resist to the last the radical pres
sure that may be brought against him.

Mcpherson, the Clerk of the House OF Re
prtsentatives, has now distinctly announced
his purpose not to enter upon the roll the
name of any member FROM any of the States
lately ''i1 rebellion" until the house oTgani-
zes and admits them. The present indca-
tions are clear, and we fear, unmistakabie,
that the House will sustain the clerk, not
only in denying our Representatives any
voice ia their organization, but in excluding
them from the floor Of Congress during the
entire session, and as much longer as they
can.


The propriety of such policy. both as re-
CARDS right and expcdiency, has already been
thoroughly argued and discussed; any fur
thcr discussion of it now would be tiresome
and vain. We merely wish to warn our Reo-
pie to nerve themselves for more cruel trials
of their fortitude than they have yet endured;
to school themselves in the exercise of pa
ticnce and discretion. They will have need Of
both. If there are any among US who do not
appreciate the difficulties IN the face Of which
the President inaugurated, and has partially
developed his wise and patriotic policy, they
will have their eyes opened when they get
their irstview of Congress, We do not prom
ise that they will see cloven. foot, or bar
bed tail, or will smell birthstone; but they
will see every thing else: -.


All that we can do is to look on. We are
powerless, except to injure oursclves:-
This we can do in almost any way in which
We choose to set about it. Indeed so numer
Gus are the ways and means on hand, that
about the only way in which we can be Sc
cured against haruing ourselves is to remain
entirely passive. We are certainly hopeless.
Our people need not stand idle, however, while
awaiting the Issue Of events they cannot con-
troll 1t becomes them to employ their ener-
ges IN the only direction in which they can
be made avai}able-towards the development
and organization Of onr immense industrial

Some Of the noblest spirits Of the South
the men who gave tone, vigor and character
to her socety--the soul of her best and great
euterprises-nay the very promptest Of her
public thought, are, We understand, prepa-
ring to leave the country, and go into volun-
tary exile. This is one of the saddest results
now following in the train of the just CON-
pleted revolution:


urgent duty to be beDceforth performed by
every Southern man in choosing and sup
porting as his representatives in the councils
of State and nation, only those men who have
Seen most closely identified with the welfare
of his people. But if there is a time in all the
catalogue Of editorial discussion upon which
we would speak and pray increasingly, that
subject is the one embraced in the opening
paragraph of this article. There is something
terrible touching in the thought that proud
lover Of this country should have become so
depressed by his disappointment, so utterly
cast down by his miSfortuneS, that rather than
remain and dare fate 10 do her worst; rather
than stay among the green fields and shady
groves Of his home where he played as boy
and labored as man, and where love has hal
lowed every association Of his life; rather than
still hnger and by strong endeavOr strive to
recruit the exhausted energies of his pcople,
he should, in an hour Of reckless impulse, ex-
patriate himself from his mother land and
prepare to live thereafter a life without an
ohject--a imam without country" such
an one is little better than q deserter from
his cause. For if there ever was a time when
Southern man ought to be at home, at work,
watching the interests Of his people, contrib
uting to the pulsations of the great popular
heart, earnest, ardent, confident, true and
firm, that time is now. One ballot is now
worth score of bullets a little while ago.
One strong word that carries with it flow Of
influence now, is worth the charge Of a brig
ade Moral power is in demand. Thoughts
arg weapons Time holds the scale Of VIC
tory and if the people Of the South Will but
remain true to themselves, stay at home,
fight what remains Of this contest at the bal
lot box, cooperate as conservatives with the
conservatives Of the North, stand shoulder to
shoulder, unabashed, and persistent in the as
sertion Of right-right not because,i it is right,
but as a matter Of eXpediency--We pledge the
honor Of the nation that less than four years
will witness change in the political clements
of the land even more startling than that
which, four years ago, plunged thecountry into
fratricidal war-that will reflect the brightest
halo upon them, their generation and their
poste-ity. We repeat therefore, to the an
sicipative exile--Dont 80. Stay where you
are. The true men Of the North ask it. Your
own unhappy South demands it, Open some
avenue of labor gcti it; dig, delve, toll ;
let the manly sweat flow for time while you
earn your own and your childrcn's daily
bread; and when the proper time comes you
shall help to obtain and thereafter enjoy all
the rights and privileges of free. American

Bulwer eloquently says:-''I cannot be
lieve that earth is man 5 abiding place. 1t
cant be that our life is cast up by the
oceans of eternity to float moment upon
its waves and then sink to nothingness
Else why is it that The glorious aspirations,
which leap like angels from the temple Of
our heart, are forever wandering about un-
satisfied? Why is it that the rainbow and
clouds come over with beauty that is not
of earth, and then pass off and leave US to
muse upon their favored loveliness? Why
is it that the stars, who hold their festival
around the midnight throne, are set above
the grasp Of our limited faculties, forever
mocking us with their unapprochable glo-
ry? And finally, why is it that the bright
forms of human beauty are presented to
our view, and then taken from us, leaving
the thousands streams of our affcctio TO
flow back in Alpine torrents upon our heart?
We are born for higher destiny than that
of earth; there is a realm where tho rain
bow never fades-where the stars will be
spread before US like islands that slum ber

The Nashville Gazette moralzes on the

Congressional legislation has made seat
in that body obtained by swearing lie, and
the same test will admit one to practice law
in the Federal courts. 1t is now proposed
that our Legislature shall offer the exclu-
sive privilege of practicing in the State
Courts upon the same terms. The result
of such a policy carried out will, Of course,
be to fill the halls of Congress with members
who ought to be in the State prison, and the
bar with lawyers whose appropriate place is
the prisoners dock. In all time and in all
countries test oaths emanate from moral
corruption, which tits in their nature to in

The general convention of the Episcopal
church re e-assembled this morning.


hon. Washington Hunt offered the follow
ing amendment TO the minutes in reference to
the protest of Rev DR.. vinton: suppresses
and ignores the recognition of the house
unanimously adopted on the 18th inst: recoe.
nizing most profound gratitude 10 the good.
ness of Almighty God In restoring national
peace and union; and whereas such suppress.
SION is unjust and injurious to this house.
and calculated to produce an erroneous inn
presslon In regard to Its proceedings, there
fore


ncso.red, That said protest be not received.


Mr.. Hunt said that in offering this amend
ment to the minutes his purpose was to vindi-
cate the house from the erroneous impression
which the protest was calculated to produce.
On this motion the house had, with entire
unanimity, expressed its profound gratitude
to Almighty God for the restoration Of peace
and union. The national Union. by necessary
implication, as well as the popular acceptance
OF the term. includes the integrity of the
Union and the Federal Government. with all
It's rghtfnl and constitutional authority over
whomsoeyer it was placed. The Union had
been fully defended and preserved.


In framing the resolution he had employed
the telh III TINS sense as synonymous
with the national government based on the
constitutional Union and the States with all
its powers impaired. He felt fully warranted
IN asserting that such was the true intent of
this house. In making any reference to this
proceeding he felt that the authors of the pro.
test had done mortal injury to the church and
convention. For himself be was unwilling to
have It 90 forth to the country that the con-
vention failed IN exnrass itS senea nc erra,;,,5
to Almighty God not only for peace and
the blessings winch it implies, but also for
the Union of the States and the restoration of
the national interity and authority. His only
Object IN the present motion was to place this
matter IN It's true light befure the church and
the county, and to vidcate our action from
what ke could not do less than characterize
as an unfair and unwarrantable imputation.


Hon. Hamilton Fsh's amendment, moving
that the whole reference to the protest be
stricken from the minutes, as the protest was
not received and therefore should not appear
in the minutes, The amendment of Mr.. Fish
was adopted.
