Union men of Virginia.

The New York Times, in its plan of subjugating Virginia, expresses the opinion that ‘"half her people are loyal"’ to the Federal Government. Raymond knows about as much of the Virginia people as of Virginia geography. There are no stronger supporters of Virginia in this contest than those who, up to the date of Lincoln's Proclamation, were the strongest Union men in the South. It may be that in the Northwest there are a few tories and traitors, but they are as insignificant in numbers as contemptible in character.
