(Guerilla OrsanizAtlon In Irglnla.
The Virginia rebels nrc organizing in
depcnflent companies of Kucrillas, under
th? name of 'Tarlisan l!angers." Here
is an extract from one of their adver
tisements in the Iiichmond papers:
The wolf is hunted for his ecalp, and
our Government has not the means to pay
for its army's ammunitions of war, which
wo may capture from the enemy, thus
placing the invaders of our country, the
oppressors of our liberty, ipon the footing
of the s'tvoge.
I invoke all enterprising men to join
me who are not engaged in the military
service, and especially thoso wh&so
homes are in the possession of the ene
my. I invoke them to join me whether
animated by a simple love of country, or
a haired of UiepuhUc enemy ; whether they
have wrong to redrew, a vengeance to seA; or
a home to protect.
John Scott, of Fauquier Co.,
Captain, C. S. A.
Such is the atrocious and brutal lan
guajjp of the F. F. V. Guerillas. Let our
only reply be a terrible retaliation.
A PIeinj;e from John Letcher.
John Letcher sent a long mcssago to
tho Virginia Legislature on the Cth, in
which he is particularly severe on the
conscription law. lie says the act is
unconstitutional and violative of State
rights-, but forbears to debale the subject
further, owing to the peculiar condition
of affairs. He says :
"Wo cannot prosecute this war and
support our own and the army of the
enemy within the limits of tho Southern
Confederacy. We have the means in
abundance lor the support 01 our own
army, no matter to what extent it may
bo increased. Wc must invade the en
emy's country, and force him to subsist
his army at home by compelling its
withdrawal from our section. Our ad
vent into Southern Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio, w ill introduce us to a people whoso
sympathies are with us, and who will
extend to us aid and comfort. New Or
leans has fallen. This is one of our
principal points fur supplies, and, this in
the hands of the enemy, a change in our
policy is rendered necessary, and it
should be made without delay. A mo
ment lost now can never bo regained.
1 by past is gone wisely" improve tho
present, and the future will be safe."
Alluding to the loss of slave property,
the Governor speaks as follows :
'The loss to 1 ho citizens of Virginia
in the item of slave property alone far
exceeds the loss from the destruction of
cotton or any other species of property
during the war."
He estimates this lojs at the enormous
sum of fl.yKW.OOO! ! That is gettiug
one's rights, isn't it ?
The citizens of Williamsburg nic in
tense and open in their proclamation of
secessionist!!. The place is a famous
nest of decayed descendants of the "First
Families," whose main patrimony is
pride, and whose leading passion is ha
tred of any man among them who rise b
his own merit and industry. This they
consider a vulgar, Yankee habit, and they
make war upon it with all the rancor of
a baseless aristocracy and sentiment
that grows sour and malignant as it
grows old and incapable of making its
hatreds effective. This is tho seat of
William and Mary College, where l'rof.
Ueverlcy Tucker instilled State-Uights-
ism into the minds of the Southern
youth, and w here, ten years ao, he
wrote the J ' . .ea ter, as a manual
and programme for the treasonable con
spiracy which was even then maturing
in tho Southern mind. The whole tone
of the place is false, un-American and
Anti-llepuhlican, and it is not at all Mir
jHising that ilshonlii have been a Lot
bed if secession.
Ni:w Yoiih, May I;). News from
North Carolina states that Governor
Cl-itk has refused to furnish any more
troops to Je!l'. la if, ami has recalled all
the North Carolina soldiers now in the
i t I 1 army. North Carolina has held a
convention of its citizens ami pronounced
against giving fm tlier aidtothc rclel

PARSON BROWNLOW
IN" NKW YOUK.
AL'CCI'NTS OF REBEL B.UBARlTirS.
The public reception of -Her- W. (i.
B-ownlow, at the Academy of Music,
was an ovation. The house was packcfl
with an enthusiastic audience, who gave
the heroic Tennessccan their undivided
attention. .William M. ..Lvarff presided.
After a brief review of the origin and
progress of the rebellion, Mr. Brownlow
proceeded to describe its effects upon
Tennessee. and gave a detailed and mgniy
interesting account of his personal ex
periences, concluding with an eRrnest ap
peal in behalf of the suffering loyalists
of Tennessee. We give the leading points
of his speech:

In rolling stock, wanting ip locomotive,

Let us Kive old Urowulow a turn, toe
damned old scoundrel; come out, and we

eppear, sometimes, on the Iron! portico 01
my hou?e, and would address iiit'in la mis

for I was very select in my wo.ds. I took
particular pains to never say g-utleuien.
LLiBiighter j ''.ueu, what do yuu want wnu
me?'' "We- want a sp.ech tu.ui you; wo
want you to coiuo out for the Southern Con

there communicating tica:,on from any out

the Kune ceremony was repeated, to discover
whether I had slipped any paper in iu any

Iu the county of Knox, where I reside, and
only n'ven miles west of the town of Knox
ville, they caught up Union men, tied them
upon logs, elevated the log upou block six
cr ten inches from the ground, put the mm
upon tbelr breasts, tieiug their bands and
feet under the log, stripped their backs en
tirely bare, and then, with switches, cut
their bacm literally to pieces, the blood run
ning down at every stroke. They came into
court when it was in sessiou, and when the
case was stated, t'm judge replied : " I'hcso
are revolutionary limes, und there is no rem
edy for anything of tLe kind." Hence, you
see, our remedy Is in our own hands; und,
with the help of guns ami swords and sabres
we intend, God willing, to slay them, when
we got back there wherever we find them.

A copy of the New Orleas Price Current,
embracing a summary of the year's business
ending Mirch 1, 1862, l,as been sent to. tho
Navy Department by one of the oflbers of
the Gulf Squadron. It appears from this
journal that the exports of cotton fram New
Orleans for the past year bavB been 1 1,000
bale, airaitist 1,300 000 bales tho previona
year. The exports Irom all the Southern
p r.s bave been only 13,000 bales, against
mote than 2,000,000 the previous year. Ex
ports ol tobocoo Irom New Orleans nothing
agaiust 17,000 hogsheads lat ysar. Imports
prole, nothing against $12,000,000 thd
previous year; colTee, 300 bags, agalust 250,
000 b-igij salt, nothing, agaiu-t 500.000 sacks;
What an illustration of the blighting
influences of Secession! 'What a tcrriblo
txamploof rctributivo justice! NevvOr
lcans was the second city, comnierciallj,,
in America. She commanded a commerce
tliiiost lucrative in tho world. Sho was
the grand depot whero all the product
of tho Houhwest were received. She was
the outlet for the incxhauslable riches of
tho Valley of the Mississippi. Nowhcr
else were fortunes so rapidly made
nowhero else were there such opportuni
ties for Enterprise to achiovo bucccbs.--Iler
levees were lined with stately Bhipg
and noble steamers; the Hag of every na
tion lloated among its shipping. Her
wharves and streets were blockaded with
freight. The Genius of Prosperity seemed
to have taken the city under its especial
wing.
At the opening of the Debellion Xew
Orleans enjoyed an almost unexampled
degree of thrift. The cllects of the cri
sis of Th had passed away. The crops
had been unusually good. Cotton com
manded high prices and prompt sales.
The city looltiul tildly upon tuo efforts,
of South Carolina to disturb tho public
iptiet. " Louisiana is content with the
Union as it i was Jhe language of her
leading journal. And why should she
not be ? Tho North had never injured
Jin: The Abolitionists had never robbed
,, of a dollar's worth. She had never
lost a slave in consequence of "Agitation"
in the l'ree States. The Government had
done nothing to her but foster and protect
her. W'liy slmnht 6he complain?
P. .it New Orleans became infected with
the general madness. She raised the
standard of Debcllion, 'and played tho
robber and ingrate. She seized upou the
property of tho Federal Government; took
violent possession of tho Custoui-llouse
and Post-Ollice; inhumanly converted the
Marino Hospital into an insurgent Ear
racks, and trampled the old lUg under
foot.
Hut vengeance was swift to overtake
her. Hardly had 6he consummated her
treason before she became a prey to law
lessness and anarchy. 'The rule of tho
mob becamo supreme. An irresponsible
tyranny enthroned itself on the ruina of
"Jaw and order. $11 respect lor it to and
properly was gone. All protection to in
nocence and virtue was denied. Murders
and highway robberies becamo hourly
occurrences.
A blight settled upon the business life
of tho city. Her commerce was struck
down dead at a single blow. Her ship
rotted at the wharves. Her steamers lay
idle by I he river's banks. The levees be
came deserted. The din of toil ceased
011 her directs and in her workshops.-
There was no work for the Poor except
that of bearing arms against the Govern
ment, under wbiuh liny hail ho. happily
live l. The necessaries of life comman
ded famine prices, Hunger and despair
be, mil,, the poitioiis of Ihousands, who
had lived all their lives in the mlddt of
plenty. Our Government will now be
cotnpi lied o clej) in between tho people
and their own lolly, and savo them from
starvation !
And this is but a sin.'lo chapter in tho
hot 1 id ilrai.iaof Secession. Norfolk and
Sav'antiali--Charleston and Mobile, are
rcpoiiiions of the htory of tho "Declirifl
and I'all of New Orleans." .V'h ij r.Y.
