Virginia CongreSßnien. The Richmond Whig urges the selection of candidates at tho ap proaching election in Virginia who can tuke the oath of allegience, and save that if the people of Vir ginia send delegates to Washington who cannot take the oath of admis sion, those delegates will not be ad mitted, and Virginia w 11 go unrep resented. We repeat, therefore, 'lie question to be considered and do i ded at the polls on theseennd Thurs day in October, by the people of Virginia, is, not by whom they shall be represented, but whether they will be represented at all. If they cast their votes for men who cannot take the prescribed oath they might as well vote for the Emperor of France or the Bey of Tunis. No ; use of arguing that this ought to be j so, and swearing about it; it is so, and we have to meet the fact. But says some one, that will b" change I. j It wi'l not b • changed unless >Soutii-! em delegates can be got into Con- | greßS to help change it, and it is precisely for this reason that we should elect only men who can take the oath and cast their votes for re scinding the obnoxoua law. "Better, said a member of the Administration j the other day in Washington, "that Virginia should send a delegation of idiots to Washington if only they j could say yes upon the vote tore- ■ scind the 1 w, than a delegation of her wisest and best men who co Id not take the oath." New YORK, September 13. —The | Tribune's Raleigh correspondent says j the giving of rations to the whites ; will cease on tho lijth. Notwith- ! standing that they have immense j crops in the field, they continually j cry to " Give,give, give!" Therearej no cloved people in Raleigh receiv ing rations, they providing for them-, selves. A good many whites have i either sold the rations given lliem by 5 the Government, or fattened their hogs on them. —The police force of Titusville has beer, increased by the addition of of our night watchmen.
