ry. General Gordon, being unable to obtain adequate reinforcements, was compelled to fall back towards the Courthouse. The retrograde movement of our infantry was almost immediately followed by an attack upon Armistead's battery of Starke's battalion from the enemy's dismounted cavalry. I at once ordered a section of a battery that was at hand to the support of Armistead, who was gallantly defending himself with canister and schrapnel. At the same time I directed my Adjutant-General, Major Southall, to send in other batteries to his aid. This order was, however, anticipated by Colonel Carter, who had seen the hazardous situation of Armistead and promptly sent several batteries to his relief. The enemy was soon forced to retire before the storm of shot that was now hurled against him. While this cannonade was in progress I received a message, through a staff officer of General Gordon's, to cease firing as a flag of truce had been sent to the enemy. I immediately sent to the dif

e military strength of the State--a like motion having been lost yesterday for want of a full vote. Mr. Richardson demanded the yeas and nays. Mr.Brown, of Preston, opposed the taking up of the resolution. He thought the agitation of any subjects foreign to the purposes of the Convention would have a tendency to depreciate State stock. The motion to take up was lost — ayes 35, noes 46. Order of the day. The Convention then resolved itself into Committee of the Whole, (Mr. Southall, of Albemarle, in the Chair,) and proceeded to the consideration of the reports from the Committee on Federal Relations. The Chairman said the strict parliamentary rule would require the consideration of the majority report alone; but such a course would exclude the minority reports. Hence the Chair would proceed by the method of giving all a fair and equal opportunity of competing with the majority report. Mr. Conrad, of Frederick, (Chairman of the Committee on Federal Relatio

The Convention then resolved itself into Committee of the Whole, (Mr. Southall, of Albemarle, in the Chair,) and proceeded to consider the report of the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Randolph, of Richmond city, said that he had secured the floor at the adjournment on yesterday, with the view of tendering it this morning to Mr. Holcombe, of Albemarle; but the sickness of that gentleman having prevented his attendance, he was compelled to offer himself as, he conceived, a most unworthy substitute.

He suggested that the member from Northampton modify his motion, and let the communication be referred to the Committee on Federal Relations.

The Convention resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole, (Mr. Southall, of Albemarle in the chair,) and proceeded to consider the report of the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Randolph, of Richmond City, resumed his remarks. He read from the opinion of Judge Curtis, the exponent of Black Republicanism on the Supreme Bench of the United States, that slavery was only a creature of municipal law, and could have no existence beyond the circumference of the law so creating it; also, from the opinions of Lord Mansfield and Lord Stowell, showing how slav

M. Committee of the Whole. The hour of half-past 12 having arrived, the Convention resolved itself into Committee of the Whole, (Mr. Southall, of Albemarle, in the Chair,) and proceeded to consider the various reports from the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Randolph, of Richmond city, being entitled to the floor, proceeded to re-state a portion of his argument or yesterday, upon the subject of protection, having been requested to do so. He read statistics of the trade of Richmond in the articles of clothing, shoes, hats, &c., showing that a large proportion thereof, formerly manufactured here, was now manufactured at
