to enact the rode of the Pro,ligal Son. The
President is, however, not only tempering
justice with mercy, but tempering mercy
with justice. It appears that many of these
applications are referred to the Governors
of the respective States in which their
authors reside, and the final decision will
often depend upon the minute details of
their past and present conduct. We sup
pose there are few cases in which a pardon
will be permanently withheld from appli
cants who have not been guilty of specially
infamous conduct; but caution and vigi
lance are required to avoid an improper
exercise of Executive clemency.
Rancxnanmon, who but a few short
years ago was honored with the second
office in the gift of the American people,
and who was the favorite Presidential can
didate of many of his countrymen, has
steatbily stolen away from our shores
"like a thief in the night." A. Senator
from patriotic Kentucky, he had not even
the poor excuse for rebellion which State
Rights - doctrines gave to his colleagues. Re
was guilty of a blunder as well as a double
crime; and, overwhelmed by self-reproach
for his folly, he hurries away from the
land that once loved him, which he, in re
turn, vainly endeavored to rend and. de
stroy. Self-doomed to exile, though he
may wander far from the country he be
trayed, he can never abandon the accusing
conscience that will henceforth upbraid him.
IT emus to be well understood that in
some of the Southern States, especially in
Virginia, near Richmond, a rankling feeling
of hostility is finding expression in a deter
mination to persistently discourage emigra
tion from the Northern States, and to en
courage the aliens who land upon our soil
to migrate hereafter to the South instead of
the West. To carry out this scheme, Nor
thern capitalists are asked extortionate and
unreasonable prices for town lots and
lands, while the inducements of cheap
farms and easy terms are held out to Euro
puma. This policy is probably recom
mended, for sinister purposes, by the
ticians who have so long misled the Eolith;
but it is scarcely possible that the body of
the people will continue to injure their true
interests for the purpose of gratifying old
prejudices, and forming favorable constitu
encies for the false guides who have lured
them on to a disastrous and destructive
war.
Condition of Virginia.
A society has been formed in Baltimore
"for the purpose of supplying such per
sons in the South, in that portion of it
which has heretofore been commercially
connected with this city, and within easy
reach of it, who, from the ravages of war,
have been deprived of the necessary agri
cultural and farming implements, tools,
seed, and stock, to enable them to culti
vate their land, and are without the means
ofpurehasin a. them. It proposes to supply
such as may he in that condition, and on
inquiry may be deemed worthy of assist
ance, with such necessary articles at or
.near the cost thereof, taking the obligations
of the parties to be repaid out of the pro
cads of the first crop, or as soon there
after as possible." The sum of $ll,OOO
had been sttbsclibed when the first met
ing of the society was held, on this day
wetk, and it would doubtless be, largely
increased. On that occasion, Mr. W.
PICSECOTT SMITEr, master of transportation
of the Baltimore and Oldo railway, obsyed
a resolution that he should address the
meeting in relation to the real condition of
people in the counties of Virginia bordering
on the Itappabannock, Potomac, and James
rivers, and those residing in the valley.

Nothing bat a pressing oxlgrricy, is my opinion,

regret that I cannot preface my message with tit's

Tens of thonSalidil Of our own people have found an
untimely end, and we everywhere beheld the habit!.

God, peace, blessed peace, has come agate to our
beloved old Commonwealth. Doubtless It would be
a blessing to the potpie of the State could each one
blot from his memory every not of the past four

selves to the circumstances which surround us, and
turn to advantage all that is left In our power for

and until the loyal people of the State, by ardor of
the amoral Ateembly, ehmild elect their suoceseore.
The governor, thus elected, immediately no:iiied
the President of the United States at the domestic
violence existing in the State. To this call the

obeyed. it was the ears 04 the eillaers of the restored
government of Virginia, under its constitution and
laws, to enforce the slave laws of the State. This
brought them in conflict with the United States an
truants& It was acknowledged by all that if the
Government of the illnited States succeeded in sate
pressing the rebellion the institution or slavery was
destroyed. 't he validity of the restored government
and its success depended upon the shame of the
United States. As the sots of the rebellion and the
division or the State rendered necessary a revision
of the constitution of the State, it was deemed right
that slavery be abolished by comititutionol . pier/.
MM. The Legislature which assembled at Alexan

a convention, which assembled there 'on the 13th
day of February, 1864, to revise the State constitu

The cause of the explosion is accounted for as fa
. lows : Ii is well known that When in motion the
water in the boiler's of steam craft rises and falls
correspondingly when they stop. In this case the
water had probably fallen low In the boiler during
tt a temporary atop for the purpose of tanking steam
middens to draw the Mumps. off the bar. The
tug starting off suddenly, the water rose In the
boiler very rapidly, coming in contact with the
heated pipes that had been out of water. Censer
timely steam was generated very rapidly—not
pure steam, but gases arising from the greasy water
of the filthy river. Tee boiler of the tug was thus
filled instantly with an mesterei volume of prate
sort', and the Mistretta explosion we have deseribed
was the result. Navigators of steam Orate Oa the
Oblate° river have long felt afraid to use the filthy
