Mr. John Lindsay, a prominent butcher in the First Market, at Richmond, has the honor of being the first citizen of Virginia created since the Ordinance of Secession was passed.
Though for nearly 30 years a resident of Richmond, his genuine English pride had always revolted at the idea of becoming a fellow-citizen with the Yankees, and he withheld his allegiance to the United States.
He found, however, no compunctious visitings when taking an oath to be loyal and true to the Constitution of the Sovereign State of Virginia.
If the State does not get many adopted citizens in future, they are likely to be good ones.--Richmond Examiner, May 23.

Richmond the Southern Capital.
May 23.--The Capital of the Southern Confederacy is to be removed to Richmond.
A more admirable location could not be found.
Its beautiful and commanding position, its facilities for ready communication with all parts of the South, its healthful climate, and its obvious advantages in a military point of view, commend the soundness of the selection which has been made.
Nature seems to have designed Richmond for the central seat of a great empire.
Its advatests him a gentleman, and commands universal respect and confidence.
A brilliant civic and military staff will probably accompany the President, including, perhaps, the famous Beauregard, who, we understand, will soon take command on an important line of operations in Virginia.
Our city, therefore, bids fair to become, before long, a scene of stirring interest, worthy of inaugurating the magnificent history of the future Capital of the Southern Confederacy.--Richmond (Va.) Dispatch, May 23.
