What Lincoln is doing in Northwestern Virginia.

--It seems to be clear that the Lincoln Government has organized a new United States District Court in Northwestern Virginia appointing some traitor in place of -dge Brockenbrough, and that this Court instructed its grand jury to indict, and they have accordingly indicted, several hundred worthy citizens of that region for treason. Among those thus branded as traitors by the abominable Lincoln dynasty, we may mention the venerable Gen. T. S. Haymond, of Marton county, who is now in this city, and a number of other refugees from that section. Col. W. J. Willey is also under the ban. So, also, are many worthy and loyal Virginians whose circumstances would not allow them to leave home. These cases call with a loud call upon the Confederate Government to council in its power to extend its authority under that portion of our State. Let Rosenalez Reynolds, and their followers, aiders, and abettors, be expelled by a powerful army, and the true men be enabled to feel the pro- arm of a nation which is ‘"a power in the earth."’ We feel certain that the Confederate authorities experience a lively interest to the welfare of the people of Northwestern Virginia who are true to the South.
