May 16.
A letter upon the Virginia election was written by Senator Mason of that State, in which he says, that the ordinance of secession (not yet voted upon by the people of Virginia) annulled the Constitution and laws of the United States within that State, and absolved the citizens of Virginia from all obligation and obedience to them; and that if it be now rejected by the people, Virginia must change sides, and turn her arms against her Southern sisters.
Moreover, that ordinance brought into Virginia several thousand soldiers of the Confederate army, and thus the faith of Virginia is pledged to it, for if it be rejected, their soldiers will merely have been entrapped.--(Doc. 170.)

December 17.
Great excitement was produced throughout the United States by the belligerent tone of the British press in reference to the seizure of Messrs. Mason and Slidell.
A reconnoissance was made in Virginia to-day by a squadron of the First New Jersey Cavalry, belonging to Gen. Heintzelman's Division, under command of Capt. Shellmire.
A portion of the squadron, commanded by Lieut. Janville, of Company L, of Jersey City, was ordered to proceed to the Bone Mills, to the left of Springfield station, on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, about seven miles from the Headquarters of Gen. Heintzelman.
