d earnestly to do the important work for which it was assembled. Acts were passed recognizing the state of war existing with the United States, authorizing the issue of letters of marque by the President and authorizing him to accept the services of volunteers in the Confederate army without regard to the place of enlistment. Arkansas was admitted into the Confederacy, and Virginia being also recognized as one of the Confederate States, the members elect, Mr. J. W. Bockenbrough and Mr. Waller R. Staples, took their seats. Mr. T. J. Clingman, of North Carolina, present as a commissioner from that State, was invited to attend all sessions of Congress and participate in its deliberations. The appointment by the President of judges and marshals in Confederate courts were confirmed. On the 1st of April a bill was passed which gave authority for the issue of fifty millions of dollars in bonds, running twenty years at eight per cent interest or in lieu of these bonds twenty millions of

nion, which was long and rapturously applauded. 6th. Virginia — True to herself nor ever false to any, she was the Load-Star of the Colonies on their march to Independence. The Load-Star of the States on their path to Union --whether separate or conjoined — yet fixed and self- sufficing.--No baleful comet on the one hand, nor shooting-star on the other, shall drag or drive her from her high place and poise in the political Heavens.--[Music-- "Carry me back to Old Virginia."] Waller R. Staples, Esq., was called on to respond. He made a conservative but impressive speech. He rejected the idea that Virginia was to be dragged or coerced into disunion.

[Suppressed applause.] The President.--The lobbies will be cleared the moment that applause is repeated. Mr. Staples.--The applause came from the floor. The President.--From the lobbies and floor both. Mr. Scott went on to declare his belief that the President contemplated a peace policy.--He did not think the resolutions were at all disrespectful; he would even be willing to make use of stronger language — to let the President know that upon his response depended the action of this Convention. Mr. Randolph, of Richmond City, argued that we had a right to know whether the military expedit
