"i'tuies thai Try IU«u*« Sou1b:>>No man can escape the necessity which confrontshim. Never since tha days ot' the revolutionhas it been more true than now,-"that

these are the times that try men's souls.".Each man is building up for himselfa characterwhich will attach to hiui through lifo. Tko truenature of mon will now display itself throughall the conventional disguises, which a loDgpeace and a polished society create. The trueand gallant who are ever modest will seek todischarge their duty to Virginia upon the tentedArid; they will lend their aid wherever it iswanted; they will give their substance when-ever deeded; the)' will esteem do service beneaththem which can promote the honor andwelfare of their State.The windy talking patriot who in every

contest where place and emolument are to 6eobtained is always foremost, will still he trueto his nature. Ho will condescend to serve

his country in any post in which there is theleast pay, the least work and no danger.The scented and curled darlings of fortune,

will make a safe campaign in the various sinecures for which their want of modesty aridwant of merit equally entitle ihc-m.Too self-sacrificing, self denying gentleman

and true patriot, with a thousand times the capacityand worth of the "palor knight" will fighthis country's battles where honor calls hiin.ft may be that ho ranks as private on the rollsof his company, hut in the great muster roll,when Virginia calls out the nntr.s:; of tlosowho truly served her in her hour of need,then "high privates' will bo placed v?herotneir merit entitles them to be, far above thetitled natriots who can onlv condescend to serve

the State when they caa do .so with profit andimpunity.We speak here of a class oi' men whose patriotismalways goes band in hand with their

private interest0, and whoso combined selfishnessand impudence always places them on thelop of the pot.But in the great ferment of patriotism, which

is now going on alt over the Commonwealth, itis natural, that, at first, the refuse matter, beinglightest and worthless, should rise to the sur

face. But the people will skim the pot, andtho really good and true matter will be foundbeneath.The post of honor is the private station,

when iu that station more good can be donethan in any other; therefore let no man thinkthat his country will hoid him in le.--s esteembecause he carries a musket in the ranks, or

that it wiil hold him in greater honor whowears the epaulet.Our people wiil mete out to each a strict

measure.giving honor and thanks to hiui whodoes his duty in whatever station, and markingwith unmist&ke&bio censure him whoshrinks from the responsibilities of the times.

In the ereat crucible of nonular iuasrmentr-| ^ O I

will each aian be tested. According to his meritma his deeds will each man be tried, andneither rank nor station can shield the lukewarmand incompetent. Tbe higher the position,the stricter will be tbe account.

Wc, of the South, have surely cauBe of exultationin the exhibitions of disinterested patriotismin these soul-trying time. Persons of

every shade of former political opinions, ofevery rank in lift-, of every business avocationtre flocking to the standard of their country,ready ?y discbarge their duty, their whole du-"

ty in any and every capacity in which theynay be placed. They are ready, willing andmxious to fight for the glorious cause ofSouthern independence, vhtnever, tcktreicrznd hoirtxer they can do so effectively. Theseinstitute the rule of action in the South;the comparatively few men of sever, principleshereinbefore described uiike up the exception.General Cant as Pniplitt.Tiie Glory oftbe t ailed States already a Tliluj ut' tbePut.On tbe 4th of July, iS4S, General Cass delivereda beautiful oration at "Wabash, Indiana,

cn ihe completion of the Wab&sb and ErieCanal. In that oration, while contrasting tue

the baciic field of liberty, lc is silent and desoisvte.Neither Greek nor Persian is there to

give life and animation to the scene, it isbounded by steep hills on the one s.de, andlashed by the eternalwaves of the uEgean Seaon the other. But Greek and Persian were

onca there, and that decayed spot was alivewith hostile armies, who fought the great fightwhich rescued Greece from the yoke of Persia.And I have stood upon the hill of Zlon, the

city of Jerusalem. The scene of our Redeemer'smlferings and crucifix.on and ascension. But;he sceptre has departed from Judah and its

jTory from the Capital of Solomon. The Aty»ian, the Egyptian, the Greek, the Roman, the

Arab, the Turk and the Crusaders have passedjver the chief place of Israel, and have bereftt of it? power and beauty. Ia these regions>f the E-vst, where society passed its infancy, '

t seems to have reached its decrepitude. Ifhe associations w hich the memory of their>ast glory excites are powerful, they are melancholy.They are without gratification forhe preeent, and without hope lor the future..iut h-re we are in the freshness of youth,.r d can n»ok forward w i;b natural confidence, jo ages of progress in ail that gives power to

It would be difficult to fi-ul in the range ofiterature a more beautiful extract. It wouldid difficult aiso to find, iu any book, a more

ivi<i or life-like description of the face of the .

atiyns of departed ages. But the extract does ,

ot establish the character of General Cas3 as j

prophet. Little d:d the old gentleman think

118i3, that he would lire to see the end.the ,

igloriousend of the great Union, to which he ]>oked for the perpetuity of free government ,

n this continent Yet, such is the fact. The ,

ystcm yf government winch he thought was

entitled to survive "the wreck of matter and 1

ic cru^h of worlds," is a sad and disastrous

lilure, through the corruption and knaveryf tho descendants of the Pilgrims of New '

Ingland; and the last hope of man is now con- >

ed in the Confederate States of America that f

are dissolved their connoction with the now f

b:»litionized and depraved Union. To them 11

The Invasion ol" Virginia.The Kubicon has been passed. Yesterday,

a column of flvo thousand Federal troops crossedthe Potomac, and took formal military posses*sion of the unprotected town of Alexandria.

This is the flret response of tho Lincoln despotismto the shout for freedom and independencewhich went 'up on Thursday frotn everyportion of Virginia.

Alexandria has been dcclaied by the Washingtontyrant*, n portion of the District of Columbia,and, as she gave, in the very face ofthe Federal army, an overwhelming majorityfor secession, Lincoln has sent his troops theieto develop and protect a Union sentimentDo these t esotted fanatic flnMar l'n«rm:AlTro

that Alexandria is to bo kept in chains likethose which bind poor Baltimore to the car of4

Federal despotism ? jWe congratulate the people of Virginia that

the last flimsy pretence of the Rump Gov-eminent at Washington, of regard for con-stiiution&l laws, has been thrown aside.Tho sovereign Stale of Virginia has been invadedby the Federal hirelings without authorityof Congress, which alone has the war-

making power. Heretofore, the pretensethat it wad the duty of tho FederalGovernment to re-poasess itself if theForts and Arsenals in the acceded States,has been put forward to justify the aggressivemovements of the Federal troops. But in thepresent case tbvre is no such pretence.noforts or arsenals or other Federal properly hasbeen seized at Alexandria. The "bloody andbrutal" purposes of tho Abolitionists, to subjugateand estet urinate tho Southern people,stands confessed by ibis flagrant outrage uponVirginia soil.Virginians,arise in your strength and welcome

the invader with "bloody hands to .hospitablegraves." The sacred soil of Virginia, in whichrepose the ashes of so many ot the illustriouspatriots who gave independence to their country,has been desecrated by the -hostile treadof an armed enemy, who proclaims bis malignanthatred of Virginia because she will notbow her proud neck to the humiliating yoke ofYankee rule. Meet the invader s.: the thres-hold. Welcome him with bayonet and bullet.Swear eternal hatred of a treacherous foe, :

whose only hope of safety is in your defeat andsubjugation. <

It is not in the occupaiion of Alexandria thatany cause for mortification exis's.that hasbeen for some time expected by those whowere careful observers of events. It is in thecontinuance of the enemy upon our soil thatwe shall have cause for mortification. It isthe fault of the enemy that he has invadedVirginia; it will be cur fault if he does not

pay the penalty of his rnshnefs. An army full oi :

strength and power went from France to Moscow ; a broken remnant of starving and misc-rable men returned to Franca to tell the sadtale of disaster and defeat. Virginia will bethe Moscow of the Abolitionists.our armiesare gathering to the prey, and so surely as thepatriot-freemen 01" the Southern army come inconflict with the mercenary hordes of theNorth, so surely vrili they give ihe world cn-

other example of the invincibility of a freepeople fighting on their 052 soil for all that isdear to man.

People of the South! Massachusetts ha;"done" all this with a view to your subjugationund extermination. Massachusetts, a Statethat refused to make any contribution in men

or money to support the country in iut secondwar of independence; a State that opposed andbnounced the Mexican war as unrighteous,wicked and datnnable ; a State, in a word, that,since the revolution of '7C, has consistentlyarid persistently refused to fight every body (

and every th'wj except you and your iia'.itu-Hons. Massachusetts has grown rich by yourbounty, and now, thut you iiavo separated (

Too JLato lor the South.

rThe Black Republican papers of the North-Vest publish a letter from Ju.go Logan, a distinguishedIllinois lawyer, containing "a pow-erful argument against the right of a State to :

secede from the Union." As the writer cannotbo ignorant of the fact that the secession of jthe Southern S'ates is an accomplished fact.as he knows full well that the Southern Statesand people would see the whole North sunkto perdition before they would consent to a rc- :

construction, of the Federal Uuion-t-Mr. Lo-

gar»'s letters must be intended exclusively for (

effect in Illinois and the other free States.. i

Rumor has it thftt there aro already some res fidents of those States who would prefer the JSouthern Ctnfederocy to the Yankee tyranny; £

and it may be, therefore, that Judge Logan'sarautnef.ts against secession an* designed for ;home use.

On the evening of the 20th inrtant, the fcde 'rral troops went to the cemetery in Baltimore (mil "excavated"about 4,000 muskets and 3,000 f

A Virginia Marlyr aiicla Vankco Victim,

From our ilanassa despatch, in another column,it will bo seen that Ellsworth, the notoriouflColonel of a still more notorious companyof Zouaves, was killed yesterdny by Mr.Jackson, the proprietor of iho Marshall IIouso,in Alexandria. The reader will note the factthat the Crst order from an official of the Lincolngovernment to tear down the fhg of theConfederate States, in Virginia, resulted in theimmediate death of said official.

Poor Jackson, the Crst Virginia martyr to

the cause of liberty in this war, was a gallantand noble spirit, and his death will be avenged.

Resolved, by the Congress of the Cor.fedc- ir.iui iiates ol America. That this. Congresswill adjourn on Tuesday nest, to meet againon the twentieth day of July, at Richmond, -jVirginia; and that a committee of three inem- soers of this Congress be appointed to make j,suitable arrangements for the accommodation 4of this Congress, and of the several Executive *,Departments. Resolved, further, That the Pres- n

ideni be and he is hereby authorized to cause athe several Executive Departments, with the -jarchives thereof, to be removed at such time £between this and the twentieth day of Julynext, as he may determine, to Richmond; I'm- ]vided, however, that in cuse of any public r

'~~ For the Enquirer.

Fund* far tho War.The Montgomery correspondent cf the&ich|nond ''Enquirer," says:"In regard to funds fur the war, fifty niiiilion3 will probably be raised, one halt by treasurynotes; one fourt"' by customs, and one

fourth by direct taxation."Well, and suppose that we should raise thib

amount by these modes. Grunt that our credit will be sufficient to su>tain the Treasurynote system to the extent cf twenty ti^c millionsnow, as I doubt not it will be. Giantthat the customs will yield twelve and a halfmillions in spile of blockadis and the war panic,which is perhaps probable. Grant, too,that the people can respond to direct taxationto the same extent without emnnrrasstnentand witkout~TJrOducing discontent, which iscertain. It yet w manifest that this wholescheme ia an op hi 1.1 business .that ir. rr.aystrait?"our credit, and burthen the people.crcsfte a sense of insecurity for the future, anddistress the country with a fear that in the-event we shall have to continue the system tomeet the augmenting demands of protractedwar, we may not have the means to prosecute itwith ilto vigor and upon the extended scalenecessary to the tstabhehmcnt of oor. independenceand bur credit amongfiue nations ox theearth.

It is manifest that no nation on earth nasthe same amount of permanent resourcet forthe prosecution of eternal war, as the ConfederateStates. Our cotton, rice and tobacco areail surplus. We can live in luxury, and sustainal! cur interests upon one-half ui our agriculturalproductions. I confine my estimateto the single article of cotton. One hah' theannua! crop, or two millions of bales, will beamply sutilcie.it to meet the current wants ofthe (Jotton States. Suppose that the ConfederateGovernment should Lay the other half.Jand pay for it in Government bonds ofdenominationssuitable /or a home currency. Thiswould at once relieve all pressure of debt a',

home, make the Government strong in the interests,as well as the affections of all classeskr at least two generations, r.r.d furnish a

permanent annualfund of one hundred mil-lions ofdollarsfor the prosecution of the roar!Add to this fund the resources of ihe borderStates, and the customs; and the ConfederateStates would, ut a bound, rise to a position offiscal power and credit which would paralyzethe Northern Government, and establish an influencein Europe, which would mock at anddefy all attempts to dt-grado our nationality,or delay the acknowledgment of our independence.

It is manifest that the only solution of thiswar is to be found in the utter prostration ofboth North and South, or the timely inter positionof other nations, to prevent such an exhaustionof our resources as would deeply aVfeet their own interests. This interpositioncan be best secured by a movement which willplace us at once upon a permanent war footing,as to pecuniary means, and demonstrateto the keen eyed statesmen of England anaFrance that our subjugation is an impossibility.That demonstration would establish our Jefoeto nationality, and it would speedily result inhaving it made a dejure nationality.

It tiiis plan should result in pouring intothe Confederate treasury more money thanshould be necessary, theie could be no difficultyin appropriating the surplus to tliu redcrr.pt.ionof its bonds.

1 do not pretend to elaborate the details ofthis scheme, and especially in its application tothe agricultural productions of the borderStates. 1 throw out the leading idea as a suggestion,and invite toils consideration the publicmind. Unquestionably we nave all ibe resourcesthe occasion can demand. It becomesus to consider in what way they can '09 mademost easily available and mot' potential.

Discarding entirely the theory that a publicdebt, of any sort, is a public blessing, it yetseems to me, that, if the Confederate SlatesGovernment can go through this war and come

out victorious, with no debts but to the peoplertfthese States, it will enter upon its careerof nationality infinitely stronger than if encumberedwith the burthen of a foreign debt.There would be r.o difficulty in having the

cotton delivered to the Government in our

warehouses, by simply requiring them to receiveit.pay Confederate bonas for it, and... I. .l.rt *\rnAlr .vf* IVia flAriiTnmflrr -». ri

ic iu ulu wiwuh w» V.iv V»v» umiv«i,

deliver leceipta lor it to the Treasurer in paymentfor the bondi.But I do not chooao to specify details. An

act of Congress cculd be essiiy so contrived,as to regulate, not only cotton, but all our

siher agricultural exports.This scheme not only avoids an experiment

at direct taxation, at the wroiuj lime, but securesthe policy of rtsentiul Jrca trade fromthe serious difficulty which will result to it bythe .necessity of raising .much revenue fromthe Oustotos. Direct taxation and freetrade uViy hereafter bocome the settled policyofour government, and ought not to be brokendown in advance by the weight of the war.

Tins one will protect U3 against the corruptionsof the old Government, and the other bring tocur support the sympathy of all nations.May 20th, 15G1. M.vaLBOitocon.P. S..A very judicious friend, io whom 1

suggested my scheme, deems it to be impracticable.As aa economist he approves it, andthinks if it could he reduced w practice it

would woik admirably. His scruples havemade cue think, and the more I do think themore I am convinced that the plan is entirelypracticable. It would be a very simple operationfor the fiscal officer of the Government.ate.«ch port to tako possession of the agriculturalexport?, as the agent of the Government,Sell ttiem abroad, and, upon the reception 01account sales, to pay over to the warenousflrr..ir>*a ilin n-»pnlR r,f ilift rirrulocers the :iro- '"" "I " -O I > s

Major Cabell was born in Duivillc, Virginia,being a son of the distinguished Gen. Cabell,of that place.When very young he evinced decided militarygenius, and at a very early age was sent

Since ho graduated he has displayed at alltimes the most rematkablo efficiency in evenbranch of the profession he has chosen, and byhis resignation the Federal Government lostone wimsc place cvnnot easily be supplied.

Major Cabell, when he saw that the Northand South must forever separate, boldlythrew* up his commission, parted with friendsto whc-m he had been endeared by association,and returned to Virginia, determined to casthis destiny with the land of his nativity. liewas immediately appointed, by President Davis,Quartermaster ot the Confederate forces inthis State, which position he is now tilling withmarked ability.

New York, May 5, 1°G 1.To Alexander Henry, ZijITnyor of 1'hiUdelj/hia:Sib.I have been compelled to abandon my

home and uiy business in tno State of Pennsylvania,and to seek protection of the laws inanother jurUdiction. My peace has been invaded,my liberty obstructed, and my l:f«threatened, and I am forced to separate myselffrom n»y family and, in a proper sense of stifrespec", to resign the ofS;e of ProthonoUry oftbo Supreme Court for the Eastern District. 1cannot visit Philadelphia or Ilarrisburg onbusiness connected with tny effiee, without encounteringinsult and menace, which 1 shouldbe certain personally to reseat, and which inthat contingency would, in all probability,prove fatal to mc.

Under these circumstances I hace to entermy pro'.est in this iuiter addressed to you inyou official character, against the fact of myabsence lrom the State being construtU into a

voluntary relinquishment of therightsof citizenshipI have required under the Constitutionand laws by many years residence.

I sincerely hope tbut the people cf Pennsylvaniawill soon recover from the mania torblood and war with which they arc nowsoeiuguiarlyr.fflicted, and that peace, reason and tholaws may speedily ro-establish themselves overthe military terrorism and mob anarchy nowexisting. Madmen have rendered the Unionan irapossibility. Will our people of Pennsylvaniayield their liberties, without resistance'( is now the only question.

Respectfully, your obedient servant,Robert TVLER.
