A Bomor.—The Virginia Heights, Opposite
Washington. —There ’ wore rumors from
Washington yesterday to the effect that Colon
el.Lee, of Virginia, hail taken possession ofthe
Heights of Arlington, opposite the Western
portion of Washington, with bodies or Virginia
troops, throwing^ up earth .works and planting
batteries. Some ofthe passengers in the after
noon train repeated the report, as such/but
emergency may cal I curses, instead ofblessjngs,
from those- who under other circumstances
might by right require overy possible sacrifice.
To this class of our citizens, it is not a mete
question of pecuniary consideration. It-is the
sacrifice of everything for this their-country,
if in fact they- intend to fpakc it theirs. The
events of the last few days tonch ns that in this
contest the people of the North arc united
against us. And it is but the exercise of a
htfpsle.-s frith; against actual facts, to.hope for c ~°-
sympathy from that quarter. Thc integrity of
the present government it must be maintained,
is tlicir watchword, and around it the radical
andconscrvative elements of the North are ral
lying jn one united power.' To that govern
ment its it affireseiit exists, wc as a people are de
termined never to submit. Thc issuejs-already
madt?. Thc hosts upon each side, are rapidly
rallying, ami thc Ihct with nil its consequen
ces is before us, that he that is not for us is
against us.
These arc extraordinary times; and as such
require extraordinary remedies. Ami no liian
be lie who he may, who has not," or is not now
ready to indentify himself in this isstie, haS"
any right to complain, when that reniody is
applied to him.
To those who prefer quiet in more Northern
latitudes, to an active struggle and unselfish
devotion for tho’r country,' in this, let them
quietly depart. They arc no service here. I
conlil- under no circumstances become thc ad
vocate-of lawless, and "mob violence. But our
common safety requires that the public senti
ment of this .country and particularly Tof this'
city manifested- tlrrough a prudent proper,
source, should require .every man of his own
free choice to take-his position,if not here,' then
elsewhere. «, We want no-unwilling subjects in
this crisis, no spies in thc camp who a few weeks
hence may bequartci'fcd with the enemy-
Born in the North, with my education "and
early associations—up to within the last ^ev
en years, when I made Memphis my home,—
all located -there, I have made more -particular
reference to men from the free States, because,
being one of them, I felt I had the better right
to speake of them. If the South is their coun
try, it is theirs net by thc accident of birth,
but the freedom of choice, and in this the time
of her trouble, by their sacrifice of' all former
ties and associations, they but show their
stronger devotion and attachment. Let all
who are not actually with us in this struggle,
from whatever country or clime, quietly, and
as speedilj- as convenient, take their departure;
and thosc unwilling to do so be compelled by
a prudent and proper manifestation of public
sentiment. Ed- A. Beecher.
