Commander, Col. S. B. Gibbons. Col. G. is an officer with few superiors, and unless to gratify some malice somewhat, it is impossible to see why he should be turned out of his place, in the face, too, of the protest of his whole regiment. Col. Jackson, the Commander-in-Chief of all the forces stationed here, seems to give general satisfaction, and all the men have great confidence in him, and will make a strong fight under his leadership. Four hundred and fifty-one men from Southwestern Virginia arrived here yesterday; also a battery of brass cannon, belonging to the same regiment. On the same train we received several 32 pounders. These batteries are in position to command four miles of the territory surrounding us in all directions. Our regiments have divine worship every sabbath, prayer meeting once a week, and player every night. Rev. S. S. Lambeth, of the M. E. Church, South, is Chaplain. I have no means of telling the number of men here. It is not known e

ke aroused, and every man and woman is willing to die in defence of our rights. The man-hesitations of the heroism and patriotism of our ladies reminds one of the "women of the Revolution." Daily can be heard from them the expression that they "would rather be the widows of brave men than the wives of cowards." I have heard many say that the North never can conquer or subjugate the South, nor divide Virginia farms amongst themselves until all the women are killed! If all are killed in Eastern Virginia, the Southwestern portion of the State will be a Therapy lie through which the enemy must pass, and that Lincoln will find a Spartan band of women who can and will repel his hired band of myrmidon forces. If such be the bravery of our ladies, how can our men be conquered? The suggestion of the Philadelphia Inquirer, that "Abingdon must be secured by the Federal troops," excites nothing but the derision and contempt of our people, male and female. If ever Abingdon is occupied by B

ty, addressed the Convention in an able and eloquent speech. He contended that the Convention was premature; that the time had not arrived for dividing the State. He exhorted the Convention to do nothing hasty or inconsiderate, that would tend toward plunging the Northwest into civil war. He was in favor of delaying action until after the fourth Thursday in May, when the result of the election would show how many counties would consent to unite in dissolving their connection with the State of Virginia, and forming a new State. He was followed by Mr. Carlile, who favored immediate action. He wanted no paper resolutions, but action, final and decisive.--He asserted that if the Convention contented themselves with paper resolutions, there would be a majority in favor of the Secession Ordinance in the Northwest on the 4th Thursday in May. W. T. Willey concurred with Gen. Jackson's views fully — he expressed the opinion that, by proper constitutional action, the views of those
