VIRGINIA REINS.

—The New York Tribune is a monomaniac on the Southern question. Not a paper comes from that office which does not bear its "testimony" against the "curse" of slavery. Greeley evidently thinks that the salvation of his soul depends upon blazing away at slavery in every number of his paper. He cannot eat, drink, or sleep, without slavery, emancipated negroes, blood, chains and lashes, before his eyes. Lately he is talking about Virginia ruins, and thus sesquipedally he discourseth:

'The ruins of Jamestown but typify the ruins of the whole State,' &c. This is the substance of the sneering article recorded. For example: Norfolk is a small village; Richmond, if not a ruin, is a place of very small importance, and has no human flesh. The fields of Virginia, too, are ruined, and the people, and tobacco-chewers, smoking, spitting have contributed to wear them out and drive the chivalry to other lands. The people, too, are intellectually ruined.'

In this elegant manner, the New York Express, thus handsomely raps the demented philosopher over the knuckles:

'The New York Tribune is mistaken! Norfolk is in a high state of prosperity. Richmond is as prosperous as any city in the Northern States.—There are some things in Virginia, however, of a higher science displayed on them, than any where in New York, negro-traders, tobacco juice, equal in our State. The people have an amount of brain and power we feel else, they would never have given us that class of statesmen who are living in the Northern States more than two-thirds of them (Everett and Fillmore) equal to Rives and Hunter. Bayly, a member from Accomac even, has more practical and actual power, from mind and experience, than any Northern State in the House of Representatives. The people of Virginia have their vices and their faults, but the breed of its mighty men is in some degree run out; but the State only needs manufacturing to become a great and ancient power. The vice of its system is, that it is not commercial and agricultural. The undistinguishing slanders upon the people of our own countrymen are simply disgusting.'

The New York Tribune may find a more inviting field for its philanthropy in the history of Hayti. The bravest of them provoked their savage masters to kill them at once, but some others were known to drag out their miserable lives under the whip like ill-treated slaves on the country patches of ten negroes. No negro was responsible by negro law, for the murder or maltreatment of even a mulatto, much less of a white person. The cruelties which the mixed bloods suffered in attempting to hide and protect some white families of San Christoval, are too horrible to be related. If the Tribune wants a field for its philanthropy, let it look to Hayti, and not to Virginia.
