s. Clemens and Etheridge in Virginia, evidently to bear upon the elections about to take place. There was a mistake in the name of the gentleman. It was Mr. Jos. C. G. Kennedy who was engaged in this work — he and his clerks, in the hours of business of the Department. We now have a more remarkable specimen of the interest Mr. Kennedy takes in our affairs here in Virginia. The following note was addressed by him to one of the Assistant Marshals of this State, and we suppose has been addressed to others: Census Bureau, Washington City, Jan. 29th. Dear Sir: Will you have the kindness to inform me, without any delay, regarding the opinion of the people in your sub-division respecting secession, and what character of delegates you will send to the State Convention? Yours, &c., Jos. C. G. Kennedy, Supt. This is a very fair beginning of the system which we may expect to be inaugurated when the offices at the Capitol and elsewhere are filled with unscrupulou

This affectionate style is employed to tickle the young census-takers and induce a more ready delity, the Government office-holders in this State may consent to aid a system of espionage upon our people, we are of opinion that in the present instance Mr. Superintendent Kennedy has gained very little information from the Assistant Marshals!

to gaze into their escorts' faces with an insensate grin, as if they were excessively delighted at nothing. Having seen a number of plump white necks and too many jagged shoulder-blades, this correspondence vamoosed the ranche. It is Jos. C. G. Kennedy, and not John P., as I telegraphed you, who is at the head of the Census Bureau, employing the clerks' time and the people's money in sending Clemens' and other such speeches to Virginia.--Kennedy doesn't stand very high among Southern men.Kennedy doesn't stand very high among Southern men. Some years ago Solon Borland broke his nose on account of his impertinence. Lord Lyons declares that if the Morrill tariff and force bill passes, England will at once recognize the Southern Confederacy. It stands to reason that free ports should command the mercantile navy of the commercial world. The late Union was bothersome enough, but how will it be with this new tariff and the Pacific and Homestead bills ?--The Border States can't stand it. It is out of the question. I think t
