, "Jefferson Davis." On motion of Mr. Tyler, it was agreed that when the Convention finishes the business of to-day, it will meet again at 7 ½ o'clock this evening, for the purpose indicated above. A letter was also read from Secretary Walker of the War Department, thanking the Convention for its courtesy in inviting him to a seat in the Hall whenever he might chose to visit its sessions. A series of resolutions were submitted by Mr. Tyler, eulogizing the gallant Magruder, Hill, and their officers and men, for the recent brilliant victory at Bethel Church.

To-day a subscription list was circulated in our company, and one hundred and sixteen dollars ($116) promptly raised for the relief of Wyatt's mother, which will be borne to her to-morrow by a gentleman from Edgecombe county, N. C., who is now on a visit at this post. The following is the caption to the subscription list which was circulated in behalf of Mrs. W:
