hereby, instructed to advocate, in the extra session of the said Assembly, which has been called to the 7th January, 1861, the passage of a bill providing a Convention of the State, to meet at least as early as the 15th February, 1861. 2d. That in our opinion the State of Virginia should cordially co-operate with her Southern sisters in any final action which they may take upon the momentous issues now presented for their consideration. A meeting held at Parkersburg, Va., with Gen. J. J. Jackson in the chair, on Tuesday last, adopted a series of resolutions expressing devotion to the Union, deprecating the course of South Carolina, and whilst recognizing the wrongs of the South, not deeming them of sufficient magnitude to resort to revolution.--Among the resolutions as to the course of Virginia were the following: That, in the opinion of this meeting, the proposed call of a Convention by the Legislature, for the purpose of considering what position Virginia shall assume

Our uniform is of Texas manufacture. The company is commanded by veterans of Monterey, Buena Vista and Cerro Gordo.--In our ranks are many old grey-headed citizens, and among them is Col. S. D. Lauderdale, who, during the continuance of the war of 1812 and 1813 with the Creek Indians, was the confidant of Gen. Jackson and the leading spirit among his staff officers. He is eighty-five years old, a native of Botetourt county, Va., and a pioneer of Tennessee, Mississippi and Texas. He is now as active as a boy of twenty. He had a brother, Maj. James Lauderdale, killed at the battle of New Orleans, while gallantly leading his command.

Sad Occurrence. --Three weeks ago, yesterday, as Capt. J. J. Jackson, who was recruiting in the city, lay down on his bed after dinner, his pistol — which he had neglected to remove — went off, and the ball entered his thigh, wounding the femoral artery.

ate. There has been no advance yet, nor will there be until large reinforcements are received.--Gen. Rosecrans was expected at Romney daily, and on his arrival it was thought that active operations would be resumed. Gen. Kelley is at Cumberland, and is still very low from the effects of his wound. He has never quite recovered since he was struck down at Philippi. From the upper Potomac. Frederick, Jan. 8. --There is no new movement here or up the river. It is believed that Jackson has been joined by Generals Anderson and Loring's Brigades, and gone to attack Gen. Kelly. All eyes are now turned towards Romney. Jackson's rebel force probably exceeds ten thousand men. Gen. Hamilton, of the Second Brigade, is recovering from a severe billions attack. Last night was the coldest of the season here, but the troops are all comfortable, and make no complaints of hardships. A report is current at Wheeling, that the enemy's forces were in full retreat from Hanc

Latest intelligence from the Army of the Valley. Through a gentleman just from the headquarters of Major-General Jackson, (Stonewall,) we have obtained a summary of the latest and most authentic intelligence of the operations and condition of the Army of the Valley. The troops are in fine health and spirits, although thet food, and had to bivouac in the snow, without tents and blankets. Still their ardor and patriotism continued unabated through all these hardships. When Gen. Jackson left Winchester the entire county of Morgan was in the possession and under the control of the enemy.--They extended their forays even to the Frederick line, pnd in the Valley of Virginia from Frenchburg, six miles east of Romney, to the Blue Ridge. It is hoped and confidently expected, with some reinforcements to General Jackson's army, that not one will, in the course of a short time, be left in Virginia between the Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountains. The foregoing is a truthful
