We hear nothing cheering except in the proceedings of
Congress and the Virginia Legislature, particularly the latter. Both bodies
look to stern resistance to Federal authority. The city and country are full of
rumours and evil surmising; and while we do not believe one word of the
croaking, it makes us feel restless and unhappy.
