There is Dot mocb aewi io theae jooroala, except * few local item, one of which re cordi a Kt'Tiir ii tmrai viauiniA. After lo roe delay the great body of our Rockingbnm militia are off tor tba war. Thejr were deuinetl here a few days longer than the/ would bare beeo, io consequence of the difficult/ of getting out a diaaffett ed and disloyal element residing in the eastern part of the conntr. Tbia element embraces a lawleaa parlj of route one hun dred and 6ft/or two hundred men tiring in the Blot Ridge, we learn, who bad deter mined that they would not bear armi lor the defence of the Southern Confederacy. The/ nerer jet havo been in the service of their country, and they bare pledged tbemaelree not to discharge the duties de volving upon all good cltUen.i. For the purpose the more effectually to rciint the authorities of the com,try, they had armed themselves, aod openly defied anybody to take them. Tbfey bad been banded to gether for some time. The senior colonel of our militia, Colo nel William A. Uaupin, has been using commendable efforts to get his regiment into the field ; but this disaffected and dis- ? loyal element has contluued in a state of "rebellion," aod utterly refused lo obey his orders. General Jackson, who very naturally reels solicitous thaterery man io the valley who can bear Arms should beat bis post In this crisis, directed a force to be sent after this body of men, to compel then to come to terms. Captain It. C. / Mnucl, with a portion of bis company, 1 went after them on Satorday last, and oo i Tuswlay Captaio II. W. Oilmor, of Albby's i dragoooi, with a detachment of men, also ' left Harrisonburg to assist in bringing them I in. It was a hard case that these gallant I men abonld be compelled to bare an enemy in front for Ibe purpose of scouring our mountaina to secure a local, mean, deteat- ! able, traitorous eoeray In Ibelr rear. But ! '?Stonewall" Jackson is not tbe man to leare an enemy behiod hitn If be ean be ! ferreted out; and hence be had resolved that this traitorous element lo our ralley should be captured or killed. Theae, we ' presume, were the Imperative orders given ! those who were sent after litem, und we are sure, from the looks of the ''boys" who were sent to execute these orders, tbat ! they wonld be carried out to' tbe letter. Tbe result of this expedition, we hope > and believe, will be succesarul. tVe hope no traitor will be allowed to eaeape. Any set of men who will oow set tbemielves op In opposition to their country, and re. fuse to assist her in this ?hour or ber need justly deserves to be shot. It will be remembered that In Eastern Virginia the aristocrats recently forced tbe people to vote on tbe suffrage question, with the bope that they would voluntarily disfranchise themselves. The result will prove a disappointment to the Masons aod Hooters. Here is the vote: Tbe Secretary of the Commonwealth bas received returns from sixty-six counties nnd camps, of tbe late vote upon the con stitution and tbe suffrage question. The resulu thus br art as follows: ? Constitution. Suffrage. For - 10.972 For... 13,38o! Against 7,677 Against..... 6,441;. Maj'ty io favor....i,3?5 Hefty in favor 7,940 Gen.

It wilt be observed that the itmi word "consent" it used In section S J, 4th' articlr of tbe Federal Constitution (and usel but once) to prescribe tbe powers of both Con gress and the Rule Legislature lu relation <0 erecting a new Sute oat of an old one. An/ Interpretation, therefore, which Con gress ha* given of tbe true Import and meaning of this word In this connection It { | direct aothoritv as well for Stat* at tubst-1 queut national Legislatures, aod lu relative weight would be at the weight of the na tion when compared with a tingle State. The tection readt Ihui: "New .?iatet may oe admitted bv the Congreu into thii Union; but no new .Suite tball he formed by tin junction of one or more Sutca or parts ol .Statu wilboat the coiumr of the Legitla turet concerned nod ol the Congreu." If the Congreu, by tirtae of thlt cltutt, hat the power to give lu content condition ally to the erection and admission of any new Sute, it hta the powerto glee the like content to the admltsion of all, where iu discretion dicUtei, whether formed of Fed eral territory or Ihe territory of an dial ing Sute. Congrett gave its content to the erec tion and admission of Mlttouri, March Sd, 1021, on condition itt Lefitlature. thould thereafter consent to the "Corapromlie meatus" propoted Oy Cengreea. lit Lrgiilaiurc having alterwardt contented and complied with the condition annexed, iU lormation and admluion became com plete and perfect, Aug. 101b, 1811, upon the announcement of the facts by procla mation, at the act of Congress provided, and without further action by Cougrett? Vol. 3, page 797, Sututet al Large. Congreu contented to the erection and admission of .VirAiymi upon the e'xpreaa condition that the State thould thereafter content to ceruin bnnndariet prescribed by Congrett: and the Slate hating after.

So with foica, Congreu contented to lit erection and adtniuion on condition lu qual ified court should afterwards content to a ceruin proposition tubmilled by Congreu; which baring been complied with, the be came a member of the Union. Vol. 8. page ( 177, lb. So Congrett annexed conditions to liie erection aod admission of Kant at ? ? These repeated eoactmenu during the latt , forty yeart by Coogres bare established an , interpreution "of the tection, and the word , "content," which no declaration however ', boisurout, nor rant and deDuoclation , iiowever bitter, can change. , Kentucky, Jltine and Vermont were the | anly States, I think, that bare bern crea- I led out of the exietlng territory of other Slate*; and In the cate of Kentucky, Maine ?nd Vermont *lso, If I remember rightly, the Legislature! of the mother Stalet an nexed condition!, both prtctdcnl and suite. jnent, to their consent In nearly or quite I all the cesiioni of territory made by any of ihe original thirteen Sutel lince the Revolution the grantors annexed con- i Jltiooi. The Legislature of Virginia tnnexed among others the condition of freedom to ths cession or the -Vorlbwat Territory, forth Carolina annexed enn ilitions of another character when the ce led Tennessee, and so with Georgia aod other States. A majority of our present Legislature, ' bowerer, seem to thick it Incompatible 1 with their duties, while representing tht wkolt Sute, to annex any condition to the consent Ibey shall glre to the erection of i West Virginia, and lotne few became it would be aUermy the OooHltutlon, which ! the people of the new Sute Iramed and adopted! The mind that can coofonnd, or rlew as identical, propotltions to to tally unlike, I bare no desire to say any. Iblng about; while I admit the propriety and rrpfdincy of annexing the condition to their consent, at thii lime, may be consid ered a debateable question. Aod If the Legislature shall reel themselves constrain ed lo decide adrertely to annexing the condition prepoted, on account of an j appearnnce of Improper suggestion or dil ution it otay gire (though the eery thing be desired by f large majority of our peo ple). I sincerely hope, and I know it it the wish of the pe >ple, that the Legitla. lure shall so frame their consent lo the di vision as to permit the people immediately interetted to modify their Constitution as they any duire, or at they may find nee euarytotecure the admluion of the new Sute by Congress, without luring to re sort again lo the Legislaturs. This eourie I believe the Legltlatnre will feel them selvet justified In adopting, at it will re llere that body of further trouble about tbe matter, and the people of expense. For tbe uniform good will, frequeut and important aid tbe Legltlatnre and Execu tive officers of Virginia bare shown to tbe people of the Xew Sute, during Ibelr long and arduous eflTorU, I koow I utter the aeo timent of our people, no less than my own when I say, we are profoundly grateful.?

Tht Legislature re-aisembled at Wheel. tng on tbe Otis, puriuant to proclamation of tbe uoyeroor; with the underiunding among the public at ieaat, that they were to rote upon tbe question ol Sute dirieion at prescribed in Ihe United Sutes Consti. '".J1.0?; *.ai Hre" ?<Vooni. Whether they will limit their tabors to this degree, re. mains to be seen. Judging from the pre cedent set during the winter session, tbe Uxpeyera need enteruln no eery sanguine hope of It; and from indications during lbs first day or two, they may almost cer tainly be assured ol another windy term:' Almost erety delegate will be found to bare a pet measure, upon tbe succesr of which, the prosperity of his people de* pe?d?, and it will bo almost ml race loin it the first man is choked off before he bar time to eatablish tbt precedent. If tbe door bt opened fir general business, then is no telliag when It will be thai again.? Wo would cot bt surprised if tbt Pan Han dle Railroad would bt up again to plague ni, if tbe least opening can be found, and we bare seen intimations of various other matters, (bat only tbe modesty of their patrons preventa tbe introduction of. It is urged witb some force tbat the oath of allegiance pis?ed by tbe recent Legisla ture is so loosely drawo as to already need j cobbling, and It is farther urged that tbr ; penalty tor violating it iboold bt mort dis tiuctly defined and soma more summary mode provided for enforcing it Some legislation is also said to be Deeded for tbe disposition of tbe property ot parties wbo bavt deserted it by taking pan in tbt re bellion, in order to prevent fraudulent or other wrong transfers, and to arrange sucb matters generally on a basis tbat will bt satisfactory to the loyal portion of the community. Tbe question of disfranchise ing all wbo will nut take tbe oath to sup port tbe reorganized State Government, hat al?o been mooted. These questions ali oorat under the same head and a lav regulating them might all be embraced in one act and they are proba blv of sufficient general importance to jus tify (he Legislature in departing from the main object of their session. But when members Hall to legislating on dog-laws* making the Ohio Rivera lawful (jrnce to the derision of cattle and hogs, relieving deputy clerks and sheriffs, en dorsing traitorous senators,'and such rust tere as ean stand awhile, in our opinion, they will justly lay themselves liable to the righteous indignation of their constituents. When they are reduced to tbat strait, they should promptly adjourn to the bosoms of tbeir constituents. On llie main question which tber are : called to consider, to ratify the action of the Convention as endorsed by tbe people on tbe matter of division of tbe State, wt presume there can be but little room for difference of opinion. The tremendeus ma jority at the polls on tbe 3rd of April, was conclusive enough on tbat subject to satis fy even tbt moil fastidious; if iudetd, there may not be found room to object on the score that the Constitution of tbe proposed new State does not provide for gradual emancipation. Whatever tbe Legislature may do, we . trnst that members will keep always in ' remembranc that the expense of their de liberations falls almost entirely upon some ten or fifteen counties, which are already I heavily taxed, and tbe ciUsens of which art* in no bumor to have tbtir bard earned j meant idly aud uselesslv squandered.? 1 Tbe necessary expenses of the State in re- j itoring tbe balance of it to law and order, ia county after county comes uuder the re organised government, will ba heavy J snough without any unnecessary additions, ? md we hope tbat the members will keep I lueb considerations always in the fore ground, and allow $4 a d*y to remain iu tbe shadows until better times.
