VIBGIHIA. We publish this morning extracts from that time honored and stoiling journal, the Richmond Whig . showing the action of “ the Mother of States and of Statesmen” in this crisis. Virginia, whose people sprang to arms in defiance, as one man, when the call or 75,000 men was issued at Washing on, in 1861, now that the fight is over and decided against us, yields a ready obedience to the law of the land, and exercises her best endearors to save her people from further loss, without wait ing to consult with persons or peoples outside of her domain, and risking the little that is left. The whole question is clearly stated in the following extracts from the Rich mond Whig: FINALITIES. Will submission to the Military Re' construction act, and compliance with its conditions reinstate Virginia ntid be a finality 7 We very much doubt, and without hesitation confess it. But upon another point we have no doubt: the retusal of the Legislature to call a con vention will be the surrender of the power heretofore wielded by the govern ing class into the hands of apostates and adventurers and the incapable mass of new voters whom, in that event, they would control, and that would be a finality. The power so lost will never be recovered. Those who have govern ed Virginia from the foundation of the Commonwealth—her real people—will be disfranchised, proscribed and de graded forever. It is such a finality as this that we seek to avert by calling a convention. The subordinate question of representation in Congress, we are willing to adjourn—without reference to time, if only we can escape the immedi ate and immeasurably greater evil of the supremacy among ourselves here at home of an inferior race. “ I AM HOLIER THAN THOU. ’> When such gentlemen as those com posing the Senate Committee, of which Senator Bolling, of Petersburg, is the Chairman, almost unanimously pro nounce in favor of a Convention, what becomes of the argument that it is de grading and dishonorable to espouse such a movement. Are not these gen tlemen possessed of an honor ns sensi tive and as above reproach as any of the citizens ot this Commonwealth 1 Wherein are those very fastidious and par excellence sensitive gentlemen who employ this argument their superiors 7 Have the latter shown more devotion, more State pride, more disinterested pa triotism ia our troubles? Have they been more willing to encounter perils p.nd to make sacrifices? Have their dealings with their fellow men been marked by more integrity, and their lives been illustrated by a loftier moral ity? Wherein are they better than those to whom we have referred, and such as hold like opinion ? We would not attempt to discredit or disparage these gentle men. They have their scruples, and scruples are always to he respected. But when other gentlemen, their equals in intelligence, in character, in honor, have not the same scruples, and unhesi tatingly do what they are not willing to do, it is going rather too far to connect that strong word degradation with their names and their acts 1 The fervid de clamation we bear about honor would better become the first stages of a revo lution, when ardent young men, emulous of fame, are rallying to the virgin and unfurled banner— before the battle has been fought and lost. Such declamation at a period like the present is ill timed and out of place. It suits not the grave and gray headed fathers of the Com monwealth, who are resposible to God and to posterity for the wise and faith fal execution of the trust committed to them. These gentlemen may put on a dra matic aspect and talk eloquently about death before degradation, and all that. Some of them are lawyers. They have cultivated oratory, and know all the starts, artifices and intonations of the orator. They please the ear, and excite in their hearers a sort of sympathetic glow—a phosphorescent and short-lived enthusiasm. But their words carry no conviction with them. They sit down, and the effect ceases. Honor is not a thing of the intellect, to be made the sport of artful oratory. It is a subtle thing of sentiment, feeling, character. Bacon, the great intellectual prodigy ol his age, had no honor. He who knew so many things did not know the mean ing of that word, llis inferiors in intel lect were his superiors in honor. Are we dissatisfied with what we have done that we should be so uneasy a* out ourhenor? Surely not. If sny people can afford to make terms without incur ring reproach, we can, for the whole earth will bear us witness that we resis ted, struggled, fought up to the point of utter exhaustion. We did all that mor tal men could do or dare. “Who doeo the beat hit circumstance allows Does well—acts nobly ; angels cau do no more." IF WE ACQUIESCE. One of the points taken by those op posed to calling a convention to coufurm to the conditions imposed by the mili tary reconstruction act is dial Congress cannot, without our help, give vitality and help to the Constitutional Amend ment and negro suffrage ; that if we hold back and do nothing, these meas ures will be iuopera'ive; hence, by wocenting them, we come to the relief of Congress, und by our consent give vital ity and operative force to them. This is said in the face of the fact that one of these measures—negro suffrage— this very moment in operation, and that the most objectionable feature of the Constitutional Amendment—that disfranchising our late leaders—is a part of the Military bill which the I res ident, notwithstanding bis veto, is pledged to execute. This is one answer. But there is anotheY. To the assump tion that our consent makes that consti tutional which is unconstitutional with out it, we have only to reply that our consent under duress is no consent in law, and if spontaneous even, cannot legitimates whet is unconstitutional. Every unconstitutional law is subject to the action of the Supreme Court. That tribunal, like everything elae, is now subordinated to Congress, but when the revolutionary storm *hall have spent its tury, and public affairs shall be re-es tablished, its jurisdiction will again at tach and be exerted. PROCRASTINATION. The House committee has not yet reported—nothing has been heard from it, save a romor that it will not be ready to report until to-morrow. Mean while, the Senate, with commendable dispatch, has passed the bill reported by the committee of thirteen, by an overwhelming majority—only four in the negative. This bill will be commu nicated to the house to-day, and will probably preclude the necessity for any report iron its committee. At ail events, it will bring up the subject in the House to-day. Rumor has it that the House will go, by a large majority, for the bill. It is expected that the opposition will be warm and determined, and will de monstrate itself in impassioned rhetoric. We hope that the House will imitate the example ot the Senate, and pass the bill without unnecessary talk. Shall we Desert the President ? This is a leading question of those who oppose prompt action by tbe exclu ded States, toward accepting the military bill. This question might be answered in another interrogatory—iu what way does the favor of the President benefit us? Wc have accepted State Constitu tions abolishing slavery and repudiating our war debt, as suggested by the Presi dent, and not findiug out status materi ally improved thereby, we refused the Constitutional Amendment, under the hope that the President in his manly stand against Congressional usurpations, would be able to preserve the Constitu tion, and save us further hardship and humiliation. Events have shown that the President is powe-Jess. Indeed while the South respects his firmness, there is no just reason for regarding him as favoring us beyond his absolute con viction ot duty as a sworn Executive officer. He is responsible for the con tinued imprisonment of Mr. Davis—an incident which has perhaps done more than any other single circumstance to prevent the restoration of fraternal feel ing between the sections. His release on bail was urged by the leading mem bers of all parties, but for some reason, best known to himself, tEe President was not influenced by their appeals. We refer to this in no spirit of reproach— but to illustrate the idea, that after all, the alleged friendship of tbe President has been more iu the breach with the Radi cals than in the observance of any par tiality toward us. We honor him for his respect for the Constitution; but prac tically the difference between the Con gressional mode of adjustment, and the plan of the President—np to the passage of the Constitutional Amendment, was more technical than real; for under the President’s policy, none but those who could take the test oath could obtain seats in Congress. So to a “loyal'’ complexion it had to come, at last. To that complexion we propose to bring it, by the prompt action of our sewn people, that we may not be forced to accept imported loyalists whose prejudices as well as sympathies, are all against us. The Richmond Dispatch , a paper of most unquestioned Southern fealty, and of larger circulation than any in Vir ginia, alluding to this subject says: One of the arguments of those who inveigh against submitting to the Sher man Law is to ask, with great emphasis, “Shall we desert the President?” We almost suspect them of designing to be facetious. They might as well accuse the army of General Lee of deserting President Davis. The President gives us the benefit of his vetoes, which arc very fine defences of constitutional rights on paper ; but he gives Congress the benefit of his acts in enforcing the laws which he has pronounced uncon stitutional! President Davis put forth a great many protests against the acts of the Federal Government, and his protests were about as potential with Congress as those communicated to that body by President Johnson. Vetoes, when overridden by the powerful ma jority in Congress, are of no service to us, while the example of the author of these vetoes, in enforcing the laws he pronounses unconstitutional, not only counsels us to respect the laws, but ab solutely forces us to submit to them. The time has come when we must sink the sentiments of consideration for the President, as well as for our disfranchised fellow citizens, in the great absorbing issue of saving some thing of popular liberty and material interest. The Cotton Mania. Though corn is being imported from the West at the rate of two or three hundred thousand bushels per week, we regret to learn that many of the plant ers are adhering to the old mania for Cotton. There is a mysterious infatuation about this staple, of which it seems im possible for our people to divest them selves. In other days we relied on it as the great king which was to dictate a satisfactory solution of our political trou hies; and now we cling to the delusion that its snowy fleece affords an ample shield against all our troubles. Men are will ing to ignore the condition of the coun try—the dangers of confiscation, the terrors of militnry rule, and all other political ills, if they can but he allowed to make a Colton crop. Meantime Cot ton continues to decliue in price, and there is no assurance that the next crop will bring over 10 or 15 cents a pound; nor indeed, is there assurance that the grower will bo allowed to enjoy the proceeds. Let us suppose that in addi tion to the preseut exactions ot Congress, a confiscation law should go into effect, and the Cotton oi all disfranchised per sons should be declared forfeited to the United States—who can conceive the distress that would result, if they neglect the production of food, and rely on Cot ton to purchase supplies ? Planters cannot weigh with too much care the importance of raising tood enough for man and beast. The roost suicidal folly that ever beset a people is to depend on others for something to eat. It was the great cause of disaster in our late struggle, and will be a per petual cause ot dependence and of im poverishment, to land and people, in the future. Extra Constitutional Authority The Washington Republican replies to the argument of those who urge that President Johnson had no constitutional right to appoint Provisional Governors for the excluded States, by instancing the purchase of Louisiana by Thomas Jefferson. There was no clause in the Constitution authorizing the purchase, and it was assumed as an inherent right of sovereignty. So, at the close of the war, there was no mode prescribed in tbe Constitution to meet the existing condition of the country, and the course of tbe President was justified as an au thorized mode of preserving the life of the nation. This is urged in vindication as well of the late President Lincoln as of President Johnson, in the exercise of extra constitutional powers, which, ip adjusting the issues growing out of the war, it is urged, are justified by every nation in Christendom. This view does not accord with the strict construction theory usually accepted at the South, but will, it is said, be relied on by the President as a defense of his conduct against any effort at impeachment for the exercise of the powers referred to. Expensive Housekeeping- Uncle Sam is fast losing the reputa tion for frugality and republican sym plieity which were so long a source of pride to his admiring nephews and nieces. The appropriations voted by the Sec ond Session of the XXXIXth Congress to pay for tbe current expenses of the Government during the coming year, and to supply the deficiences of the last fiscal period, amount to the pretty little sum of $144,793,037.61. Os this the Army takes $23,881,654; the Navy, $16,794,244. The 'JVibune indulges in a lengthy review of the numerous cl. cels. which go to make up the sum total. Among them is $206,049 for printing the Congressional Globe, which nobody reads; SBO,OOO for the distribution of seeds, which nobody wants ; and over $2,000,000 to that venerable of old chaps, Pub. Doc., whose lumber fills every library in the land. The priuting of greenbacks costs $200,000 ; tbe note and loan account costs $2,000,- 000 ; -while for lighting the Capitol and White House, $50,000 is paid, notwith standing the quantity of gas generated in the Conjressional retorts. Public Opinion at the North. If proof were needed of the extreme radicalism of the Northern constituen cies, and of the extent to which their feelings areembittered against the South, it is only necessary to examine the subscription lists of the Southern Relief Commission, and learn the fact that, allhough the destitution of thousands of our people, and the impoverished con dition of all, were forcibly described, and though Greeley and Bennett, Beecher and Fernando Wood united in the appeal to the rich North to help the famishing Souih, little more than thirty thousand dollars have been subscribed, and a third of that amount has been given by two members of the Commission, Mr. A. T. Stewart, the dry goods mer chant. and Mr. Brown, the Wall street banker. A much larger sum was col lected in a couple of days to relieve a few rebel Greeks in the Island ot Can dia, and, after the disastrous fire which destroyed a portion of a town in Canada, the wealthy Norih was eager in its mu nificent donations to relieve the suffer ers. When the managers of this benevolent Commission inquire why it is that an appeal so urgent falls upon dead ears, and that the popular heart is closed against millions of their fellow country men in distress, they are told that while we refuse to organize society, so that ne groes, loyal men, and those of Northern birth will be respected, and allowed to pursue their business, or pleasure, amongst us with perfect security and perfect protection from the Courts, and made to feel as much at home in the South ns in other portions of the eonti nent, no reconstruction or reconciliation is possible, and that*the coercion of military force, and not charitable aid is, the relief lor which the situation calls. The tone of our newspapers, the atti tude of those at the North who are de scribed as the -‘friends of the rebels,” the obstinacy of those who are consid ered the “Southern politicians,” and the insulting character of letters received from Southern men asking relief for themselves or their friends, filled with bitterness and defiance, are severally and collectively adduced as full explan ation ol the reasons why the prayer for relief (or the South has been unheard or denied. This is no fanciful picture, nor is it drawn from conjecture or inference. Within the past week I read a portion of a letter addressed to a gentleman of high character, and who held prominent position in the Confederate service, by one immediately identified with the Southern relief movement, who is heart ily anxious to secure its success, and sincerely laments its comparative failure, in which the reasons which I have sketched were fully and forcibly set forth. The letter goes on to statelhat the writer did everything in bis power to induce Northern capitalists to establish a sys tern of loans to Southern planters to enable them to renew their stock and implements and purchase fertilizers, the loans to be secured by mortgage of the lauds und a portion of the crop to be devoted each year to repay the interest and a part of the principal. But the committee of bankers to whom the pro position was referred, declared it to be impracticable to get the money. Even an effort to procure loans of small sums for a few individuals who offered ample security hus been equally unsuccessiul, ■be men who have money refusing posi tivaly to land n dollar on any Southern tecunty. Our lawlessness, and the fear that another may be necessary, the growing hatred and ill will of the North ern people towards all rebels, and the increasing determination of all classes, especially the young men. to compel ns at the point of the bayonet to organize Our society on principles of equality for all classes, without regard to race or color, have led the moneyed men to lock their vaults and run no risks, and have frozen the sources of beuevolence, so that our weakness produced by destitu tion is rather canse for satisfaction than regret—a condition to be maintained rather than to be relieved. These are lamentable facts which every Southern man who has recently visited the North fully corroborates, and which we must not disregard when »e consider the situation in which we are placed. We cannot nfford now to nurse delu sions, and buoy ourselves by false hopes; and the flimsiest of delusions and the falsest of hopes is the expecta tion that there will be “a revulsion of feeling at the North." Whether we consent to drain the enp presented to our lips, or refuse to do so until the Courts decide that we must, or whether ire determine to sit still and allow ourselves to drift along, let us alwavs keep in view of the state of popu lar feeling at the North, and remember that radical legislation is but the ex pression of that feeling. When a Minister of the Gospel, whose mission it is to preach “ Faith, Hope, and Charity, but the greatest of these is Charity," (feels compelled to recommend the displacing of the last named, super excellent virtue, in the disguise of “ Christian Vengeance he must have felt that his audience were not likely to taste the sweetness of Gospel Charity, unless it were highly seasoned with that newly discovered spice, to which he gave the name of “Christian vengeance," and of which no mention is made in the teachings of Him whose servant he pro fesses to be. Xylok. Mr. Peabody.— Mr. Peabody desires the press generally to state that the im mense number of letters, from all parts of the country, soliciting donations: could not possibly receive his attention before leaving for England. Many of these applicants desire their names kept secret, and he has, therefore, caused all such letters, amounting to about 4,000, to be burned in his presence, thus re lieving their apprehensions and his re sponsibility. Southern Destitution —Ret.ief from Coxgurs3. —The prompt action ot Con gress in passing a joint resolution ap propriating one million dollars lor the relief of the people in the South, loyal and disloyal alike, will be cordially ap proved thronghout the whole country. It is not merely want in its ordinary forms that exists at the South ; it is starvation. The operations of private charity are too slow for the present emergency. The relief must be instant; for it is now a case ot life and death in most of the Southern States. The ap propriation of a million by Congress, then, comes in good time, nnd we trust that there will be no delay or unneces sary machinery in expending it. Apart from the question of humanity involved in the measure, it is an excellent stroke of policy, which will go a great way to show even the most stubborn minds in the South that Coneress is not disposed to treat them with that harshness which some of the leaders and newspapers represent. —New York Herald, March Uth.

GIBES St CO S MANIPULATED GUANO! This article is being prepared by us at our place of business in this City, where we invite Planters and others interested t l } call and examine our stock, and witness the preparation of the above named MANURE. It is composed entirply of pure and unadulterated GUANOS (of which 25 per cent of the whole mixture is warranted to be pure No. 1 Peruvian Guano), and we warrant each and every package of it to contain the exact ingredients and same proportions as the sample analyzed by Prof. Shepard, whose analysis and report we annex, as follows : Charleston, S. C., February 16th, 1867. 3fesßrß. Wilcox, Gibbs & Cos.: Gentlemen : The following is my analysis and report upon the sample you have placed in my hands, of Wilcox, Gibbs <fc Co.’s Manipulated Guano : Hygrometric water 18.60 Combined water and organic matter rich in ammoniacai salts 18.00 Phosphate of lime 44.50 C rbonato of lime 1.80 Insoluble silicious matter, with considerable traces of per oxide of iron 15.80 Chloride of sodium, sulphates of ammonia, lime, and soda, with loss 1.30 100.00 The present sample shows a very advantageous mixture. It has enough of Peruvian Guano (say 25 per cent.) for any soil or crop ; while the great bulk of the preparation is obviousiy an unadulterated natural Guano, rich in organic matter, with considerable already formed Ammonia (and the material for its continued production as required by the crop), together with 44.50 per cent, of Phosphate of Lime, nearly two per cent, of which is in a soluble state. If kept up to the standard of this sample, there is no hazard in predicting that lands treated with 250 or 300 pounds of it to the acre, will be placed in an effective condition for any crop. Very respectfully, yours, CHARLES UPIIAM SHEPARD. Knowing tbe composition, as well a* judging from the analysis and report of Prof. Shepard, we are confident it will prove to be an exoellcnt MANURE, and pay any Planter handsomely who uses it judiciously. We would recommend the use of 175 to 200 pounds per acre for Cotton or Corn ; 250 to 300 pounds for Wheat, and that it be applied the same as other Guanos—under the bed for Cotton, in the hill for Com, and broadcast lor Wheat. This Guano is ready for use, all the lumps having been thoroughly ground, nnd the whole passed through a seive before packing, and it is a very handsome article in appearance and condition.
