The Governor's communication. We publish this morning the able and interesting communication of Gov. Letcher to the General Assembly, on matters pertaining to the present revolution, and particularly in regard to the history of Virginia's secession from the Federal Union, and her attitude in relation to the Confederate States. It will repay perusal. The resolutions of the Legislature of Georgia, which suggested this communication, were published in this paper yesterday.

The reorganization of the militia being now under consideration, it is peculiarly proper to consider all these circumstances. Bill passed. A Senate bill to
