ted to, and the resolution will come up at a future day. Mr. Yulee announced the reception of official intelligence that his State had seceded, and, consequently, that he and his colleague were no longer Senators. He read a valedictory giving the reasons which had induced Florida to secede. Mr. Mallory also delivered a valedictory. Mr. Clay, of Ala., on behalf of himself and Mr. Fitzpatrick, also withdrew in consequence of official intelligence of the secession of Alabama. Mr. Davis announced the secession of Mississippi, and made a speech, after which the seceding Senators rose and left the Hall, first taking leave of their old associates. The Kansas bill was amended and passed by a vote of 36 to 13. Mr. Crittenden's resolutions came up. Mr. Bigler advocated their passage. He denied the right of secession, and also of the right of coercion. Mr. Cameron endorsed Mr. Bigler's remarks, and in reply to a question from Mr. Iverson, said he would go even fa

The Custom-House, formerly used by the Government of the late United States, was taken possession of yesterday by Colonel J. Lucius Davis, of the 33d Regiment of Virginia Militia, by order of the Governor of the State of Virginia. The act was hailed as the harbinger of better things by a large crowd of excited citizens, who raised the flag of Virginia on the building, and proceeded, without much ceremony, to take down the signs bearing the impress of "Uncle Sam." Yesterday, Virginia was born again. She has been converted from the error of her ways. She has joined the true church — that of the South.--The people proclaim the gospel from the street corners. The mourners have retired to "pray in secret, in silence and tears." The revelations of each day make their numbers smaller. The apostles of the new faith have but little to do. Who is not now willing to fight and die for his rights, his fireside, and his home? No one; no, not one!

Granada in the place of Gen. Jones, of Iowa. The belief that the President has determined to tender Col. Fremont a Major Generalship, elicits much gratification. Ex-Governor Banks is here by invitation of the Secretary of War. Brig. Gen'l McDowell, United States army, is to have command of the forces operating towards Richmond. It is understood to be General Scott's policy to put the younger class of officers into field service, and therefore it is said that Col. Meigs is employed on other duties than what relates to the construction of public buildings. Whilst the hands employed in the laboratory of the Navy-Yard were this afternoon engaged in filling gun caps, a small box of percussion powder suddenly exploded, by which Mr. Davis, a workman, was seriously if not fatally injured, and a young man slightly wounded in the breast. The damage to the premises is inconsiderable, although the accident occurred within a few feet of where 40,000 cartridges were lying.
