Wakefield, another of the seventy-five, comes out in a card this morning in the Transcript, disclaiming disloyalty to Virginia. Hear him: "Messrs. Editors: I see in your paper my name as one of the men that voted against secession. In voting against secession, I did not consider it voting against the State of Virginia--that I should be called disloyal to the State.

the character of her sea-board, and such the breadth of swamp and sand-barren lining its whole extent — can only be invaded from the Chesapeake, from Charleston, from New Orleans, or from the Upper Mississippi. From the Chesapeake only Eastern Virginia can be assailed; for any attempt to reach North Carolina or distant parts of the interior would require long lines of communication, crossing wide rivers which could readily be broken up. Charleston is now closed by impregnable forts. New Ois protected by its distance, its miasma, and its boundless and fathomless swamps. The Mississippi above Memphis is securely guarded by swamps, by canebrakes, and by batteries of columbiads. All the South is secure from invasion except Eastern Virginia.
