In furtherance of the remarks made in this column a few morning* since in ref erence to Virginia as it wa*?, is, and will be, it might not he inappropriate to al lude in brief terms more particularly to Western Virginia and the changes wrought here by the events of the past year. They have not been material changes alone, such as war always makes; but the very mar row of our body social and political has been pierced, and the tenement Is ting ing in all its nerves with a new sensation. Old ideas that used to rule us as with a rod of iron have suddenly become obso lete, and prejudices fortified by centuries ure disappearing before the light of intel ligence and common sense. People who never presumed to do such a thing under the Richmond regime, now do their own thinking about auhjecis, domestic and foreigu, with a freedom that is very grati fyiug. People who used to wouldn't touch the Intellitjmcer for the reason that their leaders told them it was 41A fcolitiou," now rend it regularly-with both pleasure and profit, and wouldn't do without it on any consideration. In many communities o* Western Virginia where we have large clubs, eighteen months ugo it#would have beeu deemed an offence agaiuslgood order ; to take aud read a siugle copy. The chauge is uot in US, but in the public scu timent. Revolutions never go backward it is said. It id equally true that they rarely go straight forward iu the direction they are aimed. There is always some unex pected, providential turn that evokes some great and unlooked for result?just as a discovery in science is sure to lead io oth ers more importaut. Ic has been so with ui here iu Western Yitginia, perhaps more than In any other community. It is "the engineer by his own petard hoist," truly. The conspiracy, begun here as elsewhere, iu the interest of aristocracy and social caste, has done more for their destruction than any event of the past ceutury. The rebel leader.* of Western Virginia, who were going to drive us all beyond the Northern lake*, or compel submission to their dom ination, have themselves been driven be yond the mountains, compelled to take refuge in shinplaster offices at Richmond, under the spurious confederacy of Jeff. Davis : and some of them are begging to come back and be permitted to swear al legiance. Did ever men so deceive them selves, or so deceive others? Was there ever a more righteous retribution ? Perhaps no section along the border was more thoroughly invested by the artillery of conspiracy than Western Virginia; for none was felt to be more essential to its success. As far back as our memory of public events exteuds, we can recall facts that, in the light of subsequent revelations,1 clearly indicate that the work of preparing Western Virginia for revolution was begun years ago?as it was throughout the State and throughout the South. From the time the couspirators, with Mr. Calhouu at their bead, united their waiting fortunes with the Democratic party, and changed and con trolled its whole policy, systematic eier tions were made to organize that party in Western Virginia as elsewhere, and the specious doctrine insidiously taught was that the States were sovereign.? This doctrine, "State rights," started so long ago that we canuot accurately date its advent, was to be the forerunner of se cession. Hetween the two the partition is very tbin, and when the people wero once committed'to the one, their own oonsirten cy required them to support the other.? The idea was easily popularized among a people more ignorant of the science of government thau it is desirable a free peo ple should be, and the conspiracy went on swimmingly. It controlled the govern ment aud used all its machinery in the infected states and robbed it at the capital. The minutia of organization was every where reposed in vigilant hands. Here io Western Virgiuia every official of auy im portance was a conspirator?fully enlisted in the cause, and embarked in the enter prise?agents and instruments in the un holy work of destroying the government from which they derived their daily sus tenance. Here in Wheeling some of our smartest politicians were engaged in the work ot indoctrination. It was so (and more so) all through the West. Every county had its coterie of the same school < ot politicians (or leaders rather, for the ' science of politics formed a very small < part of their teaching,) and most of them a democratic newspaper?both educating the feeling and and prejndico of their peo- * pie up to the desired point. The whole i process was gradual. We bad the Aryut ) here, to prepare the way for the Union; 1 and the lrnion with its hotter fire, i to pave the way for rebellion.? y At Parkersburg they bad the and i Cbarles S. Rhoads to propel it, in the game dircctioo. Al Clarksburg there was the RtyUter, as villainous aod piratical a sheet as Cooper, and some others abont Clarks burg no worse but possessing more brain, knew bow to make it. At Fairmont the Virjiman marshalled the democracy ot Marion to the support of such men as Kid well, Alf. Haymond and JXeeson, who dispensed at second band the doctrine of Pryor and Barnwell Rhctt. It was well we had Peirpoint and llall to fight them, or more damage would have been done than the past year's history of that county now exhibits. At Philtippl Tom' Surgbnor and ' the JrftTionian seconded the Richmond Enquirtr and Charleston Mertury; and tbongh he lacked brains aud education, lie made himself useful to those who hud th>rtn. In the Kanawha Valley urns the KtpuLliean in the same sort of bands ; and aunicron* other sheets iu the interests of the conspiracy, the names of which we can not now recall. These sheets were weighed down from week to week with perversions of fact and misrepresentation of the north ern people designed and calculated to pre pare "the southern mind" fur a baptism of ulood. The Hiclnnond prints souuded the key-note from time to time, and the tune was caught up and repeated from one end of Western Virginia to the other. When the great events of tbe fall or 1800 and the winter of 18C0-1 were crowding thick upon us, nil these exertions were re doubled. Speech's of Toombs and Wig fall and cart load^ of the Richmond Kn quirrr were dissenjiuated over Western Vir- ' ginia wherever ibj- mails could reach. Of. ficials, from grcatfst to lenst?clerks, sher iffs, commissioners, constables, weru busy in spreading the (.insurious blast. Such were soijc of the preparations to draw Western Virginia into tbe rebellion, and they partially succeeded. Northwest- I era Virginia, though, ever loyal to the great! Idea on which our government is based, no- ' bly fought the insidious wiles of treason to the last. And she has her rewr.rd. The war was quickly driven beyond our bor ders nnd we repose in comparative peace and security, while great armies sweep over the Kast an/ encounter each other on *18 soil, and lea^* nothing behind Iheiu but death nnd desijation. This is, however, bul the present J wardof loyalty. In com mon with the y^olc country. Western Vir must suffer fion? this war; but it bas uia oy compensations for us that it has not for others. War isjilwavq a terrible remedy, but a remedy nevertheless. It kills, but it cures , and ttolfcn kills when it is intended to ture, and cuifS where it wag designed to kill. The Eastj forced the war upon tbe West, with the Expectation of fastening up 011 ns it yoke mfrre grievous thau before.? Instead or thai, it comes like a giaot, and lifts tbe | burden from our necks, and we go Jfree. For whether we gain political ^separation from the Kast at once or not^tbeir tyranny of ideas over us is ended for.-ver, aud sooner or later tbe Separation juust come. The infusion of northerners tins already made a radical change. It bat inaugurated n new era of ideas among etim those who never thought at all. It lias: waked people up. They never can go I* a-k to their drowsing again. When the war |s over thousands of these northerners wig. remain with m or return to take up th*ir abode in a region where nature lias be-Ji so lavish of her gifts, where laud is cheap Vnd fertile, where forests are untouched, nil minerals abundant?and uolhiug Seemf4?uiiting but liberal laws and an industrious intelligent popula tion. ? Wc can nertr be what we were before tbe war; and ifi that there is nothing to be regretted. \V> have turned a new leaf of our history, nnd whether willing or uot, we must go oi>. There is no looking bock. Causes are at work that compel ns to join in the onwdru- march to progress nnd pros perity?and every soul tbut loves lightbe: ter than darkness, plenty better than pov erty, justice better than oppression, nnd tbe welfare of his fellow men, ns above all, must yield a willing concurrence in the necessity. The .t?ws. More Union victories is the ord?r of the i the day. t Macon, (0a?) has capitula ted, nnd honored itself by once more com iug under tike stars and stripes. Didn't Old Abe tell- the South in his inaugural that he wouQI "repossess" tbe forts nnd other property of the United States? Of course be dii; and that's what is the mat ler. ; Wc have interesting particulars to-day of the surrender of New Orleans, inclu ding the dcnJand for the surrender and the reply.

For particulars of this aud other highly iuteresting news we refer the reader to an Dlber column. The Huc^baunon resolutions which we published yesterday have the ring of the genuine me'.fl. There is no discount on the people !of Upshar county. When a people votejas they did in the late election we know tbiit resolutions like tboia are no unmeaning.phrases or "glittering general ites." They mean what they say. Tua Del* ware State Journal, (Wilming ton,) the leading Whig and conservative organ in ether days, announces broadly the readiness of the Unionists of Delaware to accept the broad issue made up by the slaveholders' rebellion on the one hand, and the President's Emancipation message on the oth> r. It is reported that the news of the cap ture of New Orleans was received in Beau regard's camp on the 27th, and that two Louisiana regiments, which were required by the conscription law to serve Tor two fears longer, laid down their arms; Thereupon Beauregard detailed Tour regi nents to guard them as prisoners. The Capture of New Orleans 1 Correspondence Between the Flag Officer and (lie Mayor oi the City* [By Telegraph to the Intelligencer.] Washington, May 1.?The followingcor respondence, together with the announce ment of tbe surrender of Fort Macon, in North Carolina, i3 taken from tbe Rich mond Enquirer of yesterday, which city it reached by telegraph. The correspondence is between the Mayor of New Orleans and Farragut, tbe command ing oflicer of the federal squadron: U. S. Flag Ship Hartford, \ I Orr New Orleaxs, April 20, 1802. j - To his Excellency, the Mayor of the City of i A>ip Orleans: Sir: Upon my arrival before your city I had the honor to send to your honor Capt. Bailey, U. S. N., second in command of tbe expedition, to demand of you the | surrender of New Orleans to me as the representative of tbe Government of tbe; United States. Capt. B-tiley reported the result of an interview with yourself and 1 the military authorities. It rnnst occur to your honor that it is not within tbe prov ince of a naval oflicer to assume tbe duties I of a military commandant. I came h?re to reduce New Orleans in 1 obedience to the laws of, and to vindicate! tbe offended majesty of tbe Government of ' the United States. Tbe rights ot persons j aud property shall be secured I there fore demand of yon, as' its representative, , tbe unqualified surrender of the city, and that tbe emblem of sovereignty of the ! United States be hoisted over tbe City Hail, I , the Mint and Custom House, by meridian | i this day. Ail flags and other emblems of j sovereignty, other than those of the United States, to be removed from all tbe public i buildings by that hour. > I particularly request that you shall ex I ercise your authority to qoeti disturbances, I restore order, and call upon the good peo ple of New Orleans to retnrn at once to I their vocations; and I particularly demand j that no persou shall be molested in person j or property for professing sentiments of ! loyalty to their Government. I shall speedily and severely punish any person or persons who shall commit such outrage* as were witnessed yesterday, of armed men firiug upon helpless women and | children for giving expression to their j pleasure nt witnessing the old flag. I am, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, [Signed,] 1). 0. Farraoit, Flag Officer West Gnlf Squadron. THE MWOK'S REPLY. IfATOB's OpFICS, CiTvHaLL, l' S'kw Oklkass, April lit;, 18G1. / Hag Officrr U. o. Forrumt, U. S. Flag .Ship Hartford : Sir: In pursuance of a resolution which j we thought proper to take, out of regard for the lives of women and children who still crowd the great metropolis. General Lovell has evacudted it with bis troops, and restored hack to me the administra tion of its government and the custody of ita honor. 1 have in council with the city fathers considered the demand you made of me yesterday, of an unconditional surren der of the city, coupled with a requisition to hoist the flag of the United State3 on the public buildings and hanl down ihe flag that Mill floats upon the breeze from the dome of this Hall. It becomes my dnty to transmit to you an answer which the uni versal sentiment of my constituents, tio less than the promptiugs of my own heart dic tates me on this sad and solemn occasion. The city is without the means of defence and is utterly destitute of the force and ma. terial that might be able to resist an over whelming armament displayed in sight of it. I am no military man and possess no authority beyond that of executing the municipal laws of the cily, it would be presumptous in ine to attempt to lead nu army to the field if I had one at my com mand, and I know still less how to sur render an undefended place, held as thU is at the mercy of your gununers and vour mortars. To surrender such a place were an idle Hnd unmeaning ceremony. The cily is yours by the power of hrul.il force, not by my choice, or consent of the inhabitants. It is for you to determine what will be the fine that awaits ua. As to hoisting any flag of our own adoption and allegiance, let me say to you tliut the man iires not in our midst whose hand and heart would not be paralyzed at tho mere thought of such an act, nor could I find in my entire con stituency so wretched and desperates rene gade, as would dare to profane with hand the sacred emblem of our aspirations. Sir, you have manifested sentiments which would become one engaged in abettcrcause than that to which you have accordej your sword. I doubt not but that they spring from n noble though deluded nature, and I kt.ow how to appreciate the emotions which inspires them. Yon have a gallant people to administrate during your occupancy of this city?a people sensitive to all that can ?n the least tifleet thoir dignity or self re spect. Pray,Sir, donot fail to regard their susceptibilities. Tho obligations which I shall assume, in tl.eir name, shall be relig iously complied with ; you may trust their honor, though yon might not count ou their submission to unmerited wrong. I beg of yon to understand that tlie people of.N'ew Orleans while unable to re sist your force, do not allow themselves to be insulted by the interference of such as have rendered themselves odious and con temptible, by their dastardly desertion of our cause in the mighty struggle in which we aie engaged, or such as might remind them too powerfully that they are tlie con quered and you the conquerors. Peace and order may be preserved without resort to measures which I could not at this mo ment prevent. Your occupying the city does not transfer allegiauco from the gov ernment of their choice to one which they have deliberately repudiated, and that they yield to obedlenco which the conquer er is entitled to exhort from the cou qnered.

Stanton, Secretary of War i On yesterday the enetny baring cot oar ; wires and attached during the night, one of our brigades, I deemed it my duty to j head in person the expedition against ; Bridgeport. I started by a train of cars in | the morning, followed*bj* two additional [ regiments of Infantry and two companies of Cavalry. I found that our picket* had en | gaged the enemy's pickets four miles from \ Bridgeport, and after a sharp engagement, ; in which we lost 1 man killed, drove them ; across a stream whose railway bridge 1 j bad burned, with tour regiments of Infan try, two pieces of Artillery, dragged by hand and two companies of Cavalry. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon we advanced to the burnt bridge and opened onr fire upon the enemy's pickets on the other side, thus producing the impression that our advance would be by railway. This accomplished the entire force was thrown across the county about a mile, and put on the road leading from Stevenson to Bridgeport. The whole column now advanced at a very rapid pace. Our cavalry scouts at tacked those ot the enemy, and forced them ; from the Bridgeport Road. We then suc ceeded in making a complete surprise, de liberately forming our line of battle on the crest of a wooded hill, within five hundred yards of the works, constructed to defend the bridge. At our fire the guards broke and ran. They attempted* to blow up the main bridge, but failed. They then tried to fire the further extremity, but volunteers at my call rushed formard, in the face of their fire, and saved the bridge. Prom the Island to the main shore we could not save it. It is of small moment, however, its length being only about 400 feet. Prisoners taken report five regiments of intautryand eighteen handred cavalry, sta tioned at the bridge. This campaign is ended, and I now occu py Huntsville, in perfect security, while all of Alabama, north of the Tennessee ltiver, daunts no flag but that of the Union. O. M. MiTcnKLL, ^Brigadier-General. THE CAMPAIGN IN VIRGINIA. Three Hundred Thousand Federal Troop* on the "Sacred Soil.** The following editorial article from the Sew York Commercial Advertiser contains dome interesting and significant state ments: The pnblic will be agreeably surprised by learning that, instead of wasting hia ?whole Strength?tally seventy thousand men?upon the fugitives and guerrillas in the rear of the rebel army retreating from Manassas, McDowell has executed a splen did flunk movement, by which he hns thrown the greater portion of his force from the Orange and Alexandria to the Richmond and Frederlcksburgh Railroad ; and that be is now within sixty miles of the rebel capital, with no great fqrce of the enemy in front, flank or rear. This step is a turning of the tables upon themselves, while it reduces the distance to Richmond by fully one-half of that by way of Gordonsville. As to tho destination of McDowell's army, we suppose the reader can make it out in three guesses. Meantime Gen. Banks is literally chasing the insurgents down the Valley of Virginia. The latest dispatches represent them as making from Harrisonburg (not'Harris burg) for Gordonsville, which Is scarcely thirty-five miles distant iu a direct line.? If Jackson has left the Valley, Geo. Banks will either proceed southwest to Staunton 011 the Central Railroad, or follow him across the Blue Ridge southwest-wardly to Gordonsville The latter movement, wo judge, is most probably ; but the. uature of the pass across the mountains may inter pose obstacles for a time. At the present moment we have, there is reason to believe, three hundred thous and men in Eastern and Central Virginia, nearly two thirds of wkom are under Gen. McClellann. What will be done with'und by tlieso immense hosts we cannot under take to pay. Bnt being two to ooe in number of "the insurgents, and . no.unor ganized mobs, but thoroughly trained sol-, dlers, well equipped and eager for the fray, one may feel at ease as to the final issue. A few days will develop other arrange ments, wb'.ch may be safely communicat ed without danger of giving aid and com fort to the foe. Should the capture of lllm by Napoleon, of Donelson by Grant, and Island Xo. 10, by Pope and Foote, be equaled by that of rebel army In the tide-, water section seme dark night, the world will probably hear of it in dno lime. Till then, faith and patience, as heretofore, re member that Yorktown is historic ground. Tlae Heroic Free States. The Rev. Robert J. Breckinridge con cludes a late letter as follows * "You, brethren, are accustomed to feel that the ardent and intrepid co-operation loyal men in the slave States has been a mighty help to you In the work thus far accomplished; nor are you mistakeu in this. Hut on the other hand, you must nev er forget, for an instant, that it teas the hero ic loyalty of the free State* that saved the nation. ? Kentucky would this day he a deso lation but for the 100,000 .Northern men, toho came to the aid of our 30,000 or 40,000 sol-, titers, ready to perish before a ft overpowering host of traitors. Tho safety of the natiou is weakened by every conception that there was any hnman power but tHe heroism of. the North that could have averted the fate prepared for it by a revolt such as no na tion ever before suppressed. It is assorted that tho Merrimac has been provided with wedges, wherewith it is proposed to wedge the tower of'the Monitor, so that it shall no longer fro volve.
