ThePTew Constitution of Virginia.
, IheState Convention," which has teen
setting in Richmond, has - made- some im
portant changes in the Constitution of that
State, andthe amended instrument has
- been published in the Norfolk Day 'Book.
To show our readers the sort of Govern
ment the secessionists are inaugurating,
wo select some of the changes made. The
legislature is to ait annually instead of
biennially as heretofore, and the length of
the session is unrestricted. The person
1 haying the highest number of votes
Governor is not to be declared elected un-
received a majority of the
- whole number of votes cast. If no person
receive 4 such majority, the General As
sembly to select the Governor from the
Persons, not exceeding three, having the
highest number of votes. The- present
Board of Public Works, elected by the
people, is abolished, and the Legislature
elects and controls hereafter. The Judges
of the Appellate and Circuit Courts are to
b-C elected by the General Assembly, in
stead of by the qualifiod voters aa at
• present.. The judges are to hold office
during good behavior,, or until seventy
years of age. Clerks and Attorneys for
the Commonwealth for either Circuit or
County Court to be appointed by. their re
spective courts, instead of'being elected
by the people. The Attorney General to
be appointed by the General Assembly for
an. indefinite tenure of office, instead of
by the people for a term of years as at
.present. Sheriffs to be nominated by the
County Courts and appointed by the- Gov
ernor, and to be eligible for any term, if
/ thej have duly accounted for all public
- dues. At present, Sheriff’s are .elected by
;the people for one term, and are not eligi
ble for the same office for the next suc
ceeding term.
' Constables are appointed by the County
Courts. Only the Mayor, Aldermen and
members of the Councils of the cities and
towns to be elected by the people. The
various officers to be appointed, some by
, th,e Council, others by the' Hustings Court.
The Legislature is empowered to prohibit
'|Ai /ufuTf “Bmxnctpa tion of slaves. The pro-
/ > a "moiety of the capi
tation Uz upon white persona tri be ap
plied (o the purposes of primary schools is
' repealed.
• Suoh are tome of the provisions of the
. ihew constitution. It will be seen that the
... principal power has been taken from the
hands of the people, and conferred upon the
legislature; even the Governors will gen
.■ '***ll7 be elected by that body. Thus, step
; by step, do the rebels show their aristocratic
tendencies. '
Gen. James H* Lane.
We are rqjoiced to see it announced that
Gen. Jnt Lawn, as he is usually called, has
been tendered a Brigadier Generalship by
the President, and that he intends to accept
itj as soon as he has vindicated right to
_-i'.his seat’in the Senate. He will most prob
' -Uetty then resign his seat, and devote him-
fietf wholly to the service of his country in
, He has hitherto been acting
.vwjtAbat a commission from the Govern-
xaent, and jet has done more-effective ser*
than many generals clothed with offi
cial power. <
‘ .-Wt give to-day a sp.scch. delivered by
Gen. Lajte, on Tuesday, in the in
, v he. gives—his views of the mode in
which the war should he * carried on.
■ - Whether itacoords with the laws of milita*
- *y strategy we hear, so much about or not,-
it is marked~witk sound sense, and strikes
'' 'a responsiTe chord in the hearts of the
of.-the people. We believe that

acteristica of a successful commander—he

fidence in his men. Wothing great can be
accomplished without these traits. The
soldier .intuitively trusts the commander
who himself and evidences that
he has faith in his men. There is a mutual
sympathy, ar firm a true devotion,
that is worth more than numbers in the
day of-battle. There is thering of genius
and martial energy about all of Gen. lu.xE's
, sift words, whichja captivating to the
} i fobUfcjy f|io expects under such a comman
: der to be led in the path of glory, instead of
/ fretting himself to death in camps. If-Gen.
JLurx tad an independent com-
mud, we shouldhear of stirring news.
. Ihe intelligence of Lane's promotion
; .j. follows immediately after thedellvoiy of tie
' stirring andeloliuent speech. V If this ieu

mergeUo Jpolloy, it will give
“ general satisfaction. *?We hope in any event
that Lain will be given ah actiTeoommand,

It will be a pity to put him underj the con
trol of a martinet who could neither un

„,,*r.;r BewairiV Diplomatic
y{ vpoßdence^
‘ Offly&ie,.Secretary' ofState has Won for
:; himself a' reputation, probably not second
. ..i itothat of ahy Uring 'diplomatist, by'the
i.l RtU ability with which he hai managed
rolumlnoos foreign' correspondence,
--ffonre glad that but one sentiment on the
\ subject perradca the public mind. Th a
has been charged, rpry
unjustly We think, ntth. oppbslng'Mr. grir
. ann ftom motto* of a personal ebaraeter.
'Bi t We hare generally foond the TWluiu ready
to do justice to ail and to bo OB
ierj little
tires as any paperintin country.' Be tii»
. as it may, the IWiime tpeakiJn tbebigh
eet terms of Mr. BawAan’s correspondence,
and if they are the Words «f an opponent,
tfiey are all the more honorable to tiie piper
and to Mr. Sewahd. Speaking ef the at
tempt of certain British paper* to fasten
upon Mr. Seward the charge of a hectoring,
bullying, ‘ menacing and insulting treat
ment of European powers in his diplomatic
intercourse, the Tribune says:
Li vain would they turn page after page,
in eager quest of the passages whereon the
criminations of their favorite journals
were based; they do not appear because
they do not existv Whatever may hare
been Gov. Seward’s personal demeanor to
ward tiie diplomatists, accredited to Wash
ington—and it is quite probable that to
those known as favorable to a triumph of
the Secessionists he has been no more' cor
dial than the etiquette of his position requir
ed—we find no trace of arrogant assumption
or haughty exaction in this volume. The
tone of the .Secretary of State is assured
and firm, but not at all defiant; he does not
concede, whether in word or deed, that the
Union is divided, or the seoeded States per
manently alienated; he regards secession
and the civil war it has inaugurated merely
as passion-gusts sweeping over our coun
try, and temporarily disordering much that
appears on its surface; bat he never doubts
that the tornado will soon have spent its
force, and that the country, reunited, will
be stronger and more prosperous than ever
before. Foreign Governments and their
agents have a perfect right to smile at this
as delusion; but they havo no right to resent
it as arrogance or insult And it is only on
the London Times’ cool assumption that we
have no right to assimilate the slavehold
ers’ rebellion to one which should break out
in the British Isles and threaten their dis
memberment, that the most determined Eu
ropean caviler can find anything in Gov.
Seward’s dispatches to dispute, much less to
resent. * * • • * *
We feel that the dispatches of Governor
Seward are eminently conciliatory as well
as firm, and that their publication must dis
abuse the general mind of Christiandom
of many false and injurious impressions.
The leading British newspapers are so de
terminedly, inveterately unjust to us that
we trust special efforts willjto made to se
cure for these documents an European cir
culation.
The Advance in Kentucky Begun \in
The Cincinnati Commercial, in an editori&l
notice yesterday morning, after mentioning
the fight on the conth tide of Green River,
opposite Mtunfordaville, between Col. Wil-
Uch'i Indiana German regiment and a greatly
superior force of rebelß, in which the rebeli
suffered a signal defeat, losing thirty killed,
including Col. Terry, of Texas, commanding
the Texan Rangers, and fifty wounded, while
the Federal loss was only eight privates and
an officer'-'killed, and sixteen wounded, of
which the telegraph _has brought ns a brief
account, with the additional fact that the Fed
oral troops were orossing Green River all that
day, goes on to state that the advancod move
ment In Kentnoky, for which the country has
been watting forsome time, has now undoubt*
odly commenced in earnest, and thore is every
reason to believe that it will be continued
vigorously.
Gen. Buell, having brigaded and thoroughly
organized the army, will at once take the
field; and when TEe regiments now under
orders ixfOhio and Indiana, shall be addod to
the formidable array already moving south
wards along the several lines of advance
chosen, unless the rebels desert Columbus and
concentrate their forces along the Mississippi
undor Pillow, Polk, reinforce Buckner,
ho serious resistance can possibly be offered'
to our advance on Nashville. This view is
already taken up by some of our boys in Neg
loy's brigade, as wd learn by a letter just re
eved by a gentleman in this city, that the
pleasure of spending their Christmas in Nash
ville is one of those good things of the future
which seems so near and so certain, that it
can be almost taken for. granted already,
A Criticism from the Beeches.
The New .York Time* kos & racy correipon
dent who dates his letters from "the. Beeches.”
We take the following extract from his last,
and the reader esn make his own application:
In this war oar commanders assume, that
if the-anemy pats his foot down, at any one
plaoe on the broad earth, we are compelled to
S to-that Tfzy place andiight him iA«rt. If,
Ting asrumed, that we wait three ur four
months, tiH he is thoroughly fortified, and it
is dangerous to attack him, then it follows,
logically, that the best thing we can do is to
entrench onrselTes, and look at him. Bat X
am.not of .that opinion/nor was Napoleon,
the .great militaiy genius of oar day—nor was
Frederick of Prussia, the greatest General of
modem times. It Is nothing more or less
than polities stupidity to let your enemy die*
tale when, and where yon shall fight. To
collect and drive a powerful column on weak
points of the enemy*s line, is the trae secret
of success. And yet' f Aat has not been done
by- Generals on either side; Most fortun
ately form, the rebel Generals are just as de
ficient in military-genius as ours. Beauregard
has, in every instaaoe, shewn a total incapac
ity to adrance bryond hia batteries, ana all
their other Generals ar* nothing.

[Special Corr-spondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, j
Fra-vki-okt, Ky., Den, if,.
The late oxtraurdinaiy-courße-r-to call it
by no harsher name—of the Louisville pa
pers, and particularly of the Louisville
has doubtless provoked suspicions
at the Nbrth, of the general character of
Kentucky Unionism, and some recent ac
tions of the Legislature may tend, with
some, to confirm those suspicions.
It is doubtless true that there are a few
members of the Union party in the Legisla
ture, whose loyalty is limited by circum
stances and dependent on contingencies.
Their number is not great enough to con
trol or even sensibly influence the course
of the party, but it is great enough to give
occasional trouble. Members whose judg
ments compel them to act with the Union
party, but whose whole families, fathers,
brothers, cousins, are all Secessijmists, and
are all the time taunting them wjith having
gone over to the Abolitionists, ari naturally
a little tender-footed on such subjects as
the emancipation of the slaves of rebels
arming the slaves, general confiscation of
rebel property and the like. Others, again
—very few, however—are supposed to have
always been Secessionists at heart, but te
have kept up the pretense of Unionism to
carry out that system of espionage which
the rebels have brought to such perfection.
It is even asserted that there are reasons
for believing that one “Knight of the Gold
en Circle” meets regularly, under the guise
of Unionism, with the rest of the Union
party.
But in the main there are no truer men
anywhere than these Kentucky Unionists
of the present Legislature; and the nation
owes them too a debt of gratitude to be en
tertaining any unjust doubts of their loy
alty. As to the Louisville papers, it is suf
ficient to say that they utterly fail to rep
resent the position of either the Legislature
or the people. The popular feeling is
tersely expressed in this extract of a letter
from Nicholas county printed in the Frank
fort Commonwealth:
“Carlisle, December 10.
“The general opinion here is that the
President is as" conservative as could be
expected and that Cameron is too radical
for his place and that the Louisville Journal
has made a great ass of itself.”
Frankfort, Ky., Dec. 17.—The Select
Committee reported a resolution, expelling
Representatives Elliott, Matthewson, Mer
ritt, Ewing, Silvortooth, Gilbert, Boone and
King, for aiding the rebellion.
Five rebel officers and soldiers eaptured
some days ago in< Tennessee, by Unionists
from Whitley county, Ky n passed through
here to-day en route for Louisville.
A letter from a prominent officer at Mum
fordiville, says the commands of Generals
McCook, Johnson, Wood and Rousseau, rest
ed oh the northern bank of Green River,
Sunday.
Earnest,
BueU’s Body Guard was on parade at
Louisville to-day.
Buell is expected Co take the field at an
early day.
A letter from Lebanon, Dec. I7th, says:
“We (Thomas’ division) are making rapid
preparations and will leave in a few days.
There are many rumors about a movement
of the enemy below, but nothing reliable:
Nelson's division encamped on Muldraugh's
Hill, on the old Nashville turnpike, Sunday
night, in fine order and spirits.”
Nothing yet from Eastern Kentucky, or
Cumberland Gap, to show previous accounts
unfounded.
The British Press—Sober Second
Thought.
A Manchester letter in the Daily Xew» t
under date of November 28, intimatos that
“a calmer feeling” had taken possession of
the public mind, and adds that “thoro arc
a great, many reckless men who would at
once urge on a war to redress the alleged
insult to the British flag, but thu « by no
mean* the general feeling , and amongst some
of the leading merchants the first ebullition’
of anger is giving place to anxiety, lest
the government should too precipitately be
disposed in favor of a resort to arms.”
This is one indication of a healthy reac
tion within the space of two days. Another
is found in the admission of the money
writer of the Daily News, who aay 3 :
“The opinion of the Law Officers of the
Crown is looked for with extreme interest;
and an impression has gained ground to
day, that, apart from the extremely offen
sive manner in. which the American war
vessel has acted, the verdict of international
juriitM viU not be entirely condemnatory of the
: coxtree purtued by it There are, ihen, many
anxious discussions aPfco how far the Ameri
can government will go in the endeavor to
allay by concilitory and apologetic lan
guage the.deep feeling of irritation justly
roused In all classes of society in this
.country. Beneath everything there exists
!an undercurrent of apprehension lest the
American government really contemplated
the desperate policy of seeking to fasten a
quarrel upon Great Britain in order to gain
a standing ground for abandoning the de
sign of subjugating the South.’’
Washington, Dec. 14, 1861
“You must not urge a forward move
ment,” says one regular officer, of good
experience and high position; “if we ad
vance now, we shall be whipped.” “We
muet take a start”, says another regular
Officer, as fully entitled as the first to con
fidence; “we must take a start or know the
reason why. Wo hare waited too long
’already.” Opinions certainly vary, and it
is not the Commander-in-chief alone who
hesitates to declare for action. But on
weighing the opposing judgments, the bal
ance is unmistakably found to be against,
delay, Mamy have freely avow
,ed their eagerness to take advantage of
opportunities repeatedly opened to us, but
invariably neglected. I have heard- one
signify perfect conviction of his ability to
march to Richmond, from the North, with
40,000 good mem 1 know that another, of
groat fame and admitted skill, would joy
fully besiege the rebel capital, from a south
ern point of attack with only 80,000 men.*
The reputation of these officers is second to
.that of none in the army. They have
especially sought from time to time, the
privilege of .achieving something, which
for some reason thal we must presume to
be sufficient, has always been denied them.
The argument* of opposition seem to come
mostly from officers within the direct influ
ence of the commanding General, who,
without ever betraying his exact views, has
certainly secured the devoted adherence of
many to the mere indications of his plans.
Appearances now tend to the belier that
his intentions, are passive, Consequently
Iho regular 'opinions of staff-officers and
such are.uniformly of a tranquil order:
but should Mingle active impulse proceed
from him to-morrow, the. views of tho ma
jority would undoubtedly experience a
sudden revulsion,,.and tho universal cry
would beAr the eminent propriety and dis
cretion of an advance. •

came so,excited that they had to be re
moved, to Sullivans Island. The lovely
