Virginia.

--In no spirit of vain glory, but from a sheer sense of justice, we propose ere long to publish some facts concerning the contributions of Virginia to this war, which we think will silence the months of those who are disposed to criticise and censure this noble old State. She has given herself for the battle-ground of one and all; she has furnished nearly every pound of powder and most of the heavy ordnance that have been used between the Potomac and the Gulf of Mexico; she has seventy five thousand men in the field. In this connection we may add that the labors of her Governor in the common cause has been incessant. He has given himself, his time, his talents and his energies without stint to the glorious work. We are persuaded that the Confederate Government can find no fault with Virginia nor will her Governor, but will promptly acknowledge that they have been in the front rank and behind no other in toils, struggles and sacrifices.
