Union people of Virginia, by the Jeff Davis 'Government, we relate the following Owing to the impoverished condition of the' country and impelled by the natural de sire to bo with their husbands again, four married women (with eighteen children) set' out from the vicinity of Hensley's Metho dist Church, Rockingham County, Ira., on Wednesday,:the Sth of June, for Pennsylva nia, where they expected to meet their hus bands; who had left some moth vievious for the freer and.purer atmosphere of the'loy al States „ The names of the party are as follows, viz: —Mrs Wesley Hensley, with seven children, Mrs. Robert Hensley, with- five '3hiliren, 'Mrs Matthew Lamb, with six children, and Mrs. Hiram Hensley, making twenty, T two per. sons in all. They had; when they . Started, two two horse, wagons, and when three miles from Edinsburg, a party of guerrillas came out from a dense wood on the road, and took the best horse from them. They were then compelled to load up their effects, and the small Children in one wagon and abandon the other. The women and large children . had to walk all the way from that place, and mot with no further interruption on the road.— At Martinsburg they readily procured a, pass to cross the Potomac. On last Thursday the ,party, way•worn, and foot sore, reached the vicinity ot,Greencastle, and were 'hospitably entertained by Mi., Mickley. Their destitute condition becominglnoWn to our citizens ? contribUtions were at once made, and these women and children sent by 1 , rrisbur?.. Their horses and wagon, were sent in Aarge of one of their friends in the same direction.)

"I respectfully ask.that an equal number of' rebel officers of equal rank may be sent to me in order that I may place them under the enemy's• fire as long as our officers are exposed in Charleston,"; This Department has issued a retaliatory order transferring to,Ceneral Foster an equal number of rebel general officers to be treatrd in the manner proposed as long as our offi cers arc cx ios ed in Charleston.

'Such was the position of • Andrew Johnson; faithful he stood amolg. the. faith less. Separated from his home, driven from his State., his property seized and confiscated, his sons imprisoned, and his wife and ehil. dren driven to the, mountains, for the.preser vation of their lives, are some of the eviden ces which prove, beyond all detibti, the ley tilt). of Andrew Johnson. ,will only add that he has given to the Government his un flinchingitupport.of all the measures which have been alloptedloerush out , this rebellion. He long sineesaw, with'tho eye of a sagaci ous statesman, that slavery could not be_left again to imperil the country's peace and safe ty, and has noted upon that conviction.- Ho is every way eminently fitted and qualified ' for the position to which he has been nomi nated, and he will have• our honest and earn eat endorsement and 'support. Such are the men put in nomination by the Union organ ization for President . and Vice President, worthy personally for their eminent ability and integrity of your earnest and unqualified support, to carry out the principles set forth in the resolutions of the Convention.
