RICHMOND. (Virginia) August 2.
If, says a correspondent, the other states were to adopt a similar mode with this state to prevent the return of refugees, there would be no necessity for the people stepping forth to remedy this glaring evil; for we find the Governor's proclamation has been complied with, a number having already departed the state in consequence of it; and if any remain, they know they are subject to the proclamation, which will inevitably be rigorously executed, the citizens being determined to put it in force.
