Yet it is obvious that unless Virginia is prepared to become the os coccygis of the A bolition Empire, she must go with the seceding States "But you shall not go," says Seward, "we will whip that idea out of you." So 200 more men are ordered to Fortress Monroe, and General Scott declares that if any demonstration is made against it, the troop are ordered to destroy all the buildings around it including the hotel, and every thing in it. Adams, son of old John Quincey, made a very decent sort of Republican speech in the House yesterday. Taken in connection with Seward's "fraternal" sentiments, this speech might have some significance, if we did not know that it had been squeezed out at the very last moment, by the enormous pressure of hard times in Boston.
