Mr. Botts in favor of secession.

--The Virginia Guard, published at Clarksburg, Harrison county, Va., contains the following in its issue of the 1st February:

7"In a private letter of the 28th ult., the Hon. John M. Botts says:

‘"'When Eastern Virginia goes out of the Union, I intend to take up my residence in Western Virginia, provided it constitutes a part of the United States.'"’

It will be seen by the extract above, that Mr. Botts, though running to-day as a Union candidate, is in fact a Secession candidate in disguise.
