empted to plunder the Treasury of nearly one million of dollars, with a party at his back proclaiming hostility to slavery and slave-owners; who claim the right and declare their purpose to be to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia--in the forts, arsenals, and dock-yards — and who are pledged to repeal the fugitive law, and to prohibit the sale of slaves from one State to another, and what will be the condition of Virginia, and especially of your country, the Eastern Shore, with Fortress Monroe, manned by a Black B-publican army, the rendesvous for all your fugitive slaves, and the Navy at head to protect them as they sail from your waters ? What will be the condition a Norfolk when, with this state of thirgs, the Navy-Yard shall become the receptacle of her runaway negroes? What will be left you then but to fight for your property, your homes, your liberty, aye, and your lives, and with the disadvantage of having your forts and arsenals turned against you ?

iend of our Confederacy. He proved himself a sagacious and intrepid statesman in predicting the subjugation policy of the NOrth, and in advising the boldest measures of self-protection and self-preservation on the part of the South. As far back as 1856, Mr. Lyons came out unqualifiedly in favor of a separation from the North in the event of the election of a Black Republican President. In the Presidential canvass of that year, in answer to an invitation of a portion of the people of Northampton county to address them on some court day, he wrote a letter in which he reviewed the history of parties in the North, and deduced therefrom the conclusion that there was but little conservative nationality of sentiment in that quarter. He closed his letter with an appeal to his countrymen to resist the election of a Black Republican President. The following is an extract: "It is impossible," said Mr. Lyons, "that the Southern States can ever permit Mr. Fremont to be inaugurated as thei

entleman, and the Old Dominion may well be proud that she is able to boast of such a son." This compliment to Mr. Lyons was cordially endorsed, so far as could be ascertained, by the entire Convention. Another Southern journal spoke of his closing address to the Convention as one of the happiest efforts of extemporaneous eloquence. "Knightly courtesy," said the writter, "was stamped on every paragraph; the chaste, graceful, and eloquent elocution would have done no discredit to Chesterfield or the Earl of Chatham. The address breathed throughout the spirit which should animate every man in the South." Such was the impression made by James Lyons as the President of an intelligent Southern assembly, five years since. That he would make an equally favorable impression in the Congress of the Confederate states, we do not entertain a doubt. Elect him to the ensuing Congress, and he will occupy in it the position or one of the most able, accomplished, and useful members.

The Times will in the ensuing months give us, no doubt, a vast deal of exquisite satire upon Jonathan, and not a little editorial propitiation of the South; but the letter we will take with a grain of salt. We shall see in good time where the English public and where the English Parliament will stand. We know how the British interacts should incline them, and in that way, were there no other influences, they will go. But there are considerations of humanity and civilization forced upon them by the barbarians of the Northern people. These will co-operate with the appeals of interest, and we shall see in good time that England will not be an idle spectator of the events in this country. She will act, and she will act with the concurrence of France.
