Virginia npou thc leception of Lincola's infamous and de basing propositions for abject submission, cannot but awaken athrill of stun: joy through out the whole Confederacy. TL cy must ?t the same time exlbrt, even ?rom our enemies, praise an J admiration for the fortitude K.;?? manhood which V^y evince.

Butwhat'elaa waa to have been expected from the gr&sd old Dominion ?

Then as U JT?-, the old Virginia fceiing of inborn re sistance to tyranny swells up to the surface, and must be exprea-cd. And-in-all these ut terances-in resolutions, speeches and news paper editorials, there is uothing passionate, not?ing savoring of desperation, no sign of the bravado; but tho cooi, calm deliberate, outspoken determination of tho mau who ap preciates that -'* Tbrice is he armed .

We should bc an agricultural tts well as a coin ni eic: ul nation. Heretofore, vre have : ot paid suffi cient attention to tilling the soil. We were content to plod along, doing a little farming, but buying our produce veuy largely abroad. The war will s(ri've*e good end if it awakens us to thc roal value bf our sunny'land in con nection with an improved and careful ?ysteni of agriculture. Wo can "raise all that vre need within our area. Our lands are as valuable in the properties which stimulate crops as those of any country. . Vegetation with us is remarkably vigorous, rapid and luxuriant. Wc have ouly to tickle "the earth r.ith the hoe and ft hughs with a'harvest. Much of cur soil, it is said; is worn out-exhausted, by an impoverishing and'persistent course ol tillage. True, but this land can bc reclaim ed, and sbonld be reclaimed at once.v A large portion of our land, however, is as yet what may bo denominated the virgin soil,- which has been as yet undisturbed by the plow or hoe. Let us sec that Soma of this soil 13 at once made available. Leta force also be put to work on our plantations, adequate to keep the whela under cultivation and wc shall more than double'the amount of food crops this year-the very year when wo shall moat need such crops. Now that onr agriculturists [ are compelled to raise largely of thc r.ccessa I ries of lifo, it will bc. worth observing how much the resources of the soil caixbe dcvcl oped-and how much com, or wheat, or other cereals, can bc grown per acre. Thc result, we venture to say, would astonish the most sanguino, it ?i? be so much in excess of their expectations. * m. ? --' ? o- ?.

I answer, it was prompted by their malignant hate of our people, their unquenchable and bcllborrj bate. Do you a&k me to reconstruct. with them ? I went to the graveyard and stood there among the city of the dead. There were hundreds-perhaps thousands of our gallant soldiers sleophg quietly their last, r.lepp, who had given their lives ft holy sacrifice for our indy eau'-e.

Tho State is endeavoring to fulfill a sacred -obligation in securing now, and recording for posterity, tho names of all her sons who have fallen in this war. In 1802, the Convention unanimously resolved - that this should be done, "as a token or respect to their momofies, and a legacy of inestimable value to their friends;" and the r?solution was sect forth, by their order, to be read to our reg?- ' inch ts, battalions and companies c vor j where. Many a brave soldier may havo died in soliludo or rushed upon the fee, -with tho thought in his heart th.iL.bia name would be honorably preserved at heme. WM. J.
