Redd, Esq., submitted a minority report as a substitute for the resolutions embraced in the majority report, as follows: Resolved, as the sense of this meeting, That the present interests and future peace and welfare of this State require that we dissolve our connection with the present Government of the United States, and that this State resume her full and entire sovereignty. Resolved, That while we do not formally instruct our delegate in the State Convention to vote for an Ordinance of immediate Secession, we would suggest to him that it is the earnest desire of this meeting, and, we believe, of a majority of the citizens of the county, that he take such action as will tend to reinvest our State with her full sovereignty. Garland Hanes, Sr., of Henrico, offered the following resolution a
The Convention. A resolution offered yesterday, by Mr. Hall, of Wetzel, requesting the Committee on Federal Relations to report the Constitution of the Confederate States of the South as Virginia's ultimatum, was laid upon the table.--A supplemental report from the Committee on Federal Relations was submitted by Mr. Conrad, the Chairman. It embodies proposed amendments to the Federal Constitution, in some respects similar to the propositions emanating from the Peace Conference, but changed in essential particulars. The report, which was referred to the Committee of the Whole, will be found in the regular proceedings. A resolution to hold night sessions was voted down by a large majority.-- Mr. Branch presented the Petersburg secession resolutions, and expressed his readiness to "bow to the will of his constituents." The subject of taxation was considered, and Messrs. Woods and Haymond made speeches in favor of equality. Mr. Randolph finished his able argument on the Committee
ch, and I am glad that Father Griffith can stand on the Constitution, and in the Baltimore Conference, and yet be in the M. E. Church. We must stand on the Constitution and throw off their authority. We must go into the Supreme Court of the United States, if necessary, for our property. The Laymen's Convention has given you a sheet anchor. It will hold in the midst of the tempest. "God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea, And rides uticles in Discipline.) Suppose the General Conference had declared you, at this juncture, absolved from that article of religion which says: "The President, the Congress, the General Assemblies, the Governors, etc., are the rulers of the United States of America;" would it be a cause of separation to the Conference? This touches the Union heart just now. If a majority can enact a new rule, etc., and the General Conference, by a majority, can alter our political relations, then they can alter ou
ed in, South Carolina would secede; but the following significant extract from the news by the Arabia is of a character to substitute for the laugh a suspicion that one of the newest of the Napoleonic ideas is, that the anti- slavery element, upon which the Northern geographical party exist, is but a gigantic imposition, and an imposition which France, at least, is in no humor to put up with: [extract.] "The Paris Moniteur is indignant at the increase of duties imposed by the Northern United States upon French productions. Silks which paid nineteen per cent. will have now to pay from twenty to thirty, and wines which paid thirty, will have to pay thirty-three and a half; and so of other kinds of goods and produce. The official journal accuses the Northern deputies of having taken advantage of the absence of those from the South to do this smart bit of business, and laments to have to observe this retrograde movement from free trade, when all other countries are, on the contra
Patents. --Will some erudite and learned pundit of the law tell us what is to become of the patents granted by the United States, if the Union be subjected to any more dissolution? The cement that bound the old edifice is getting more shaky every day.
The Legislature. A bill was reported in the Senate yesterday for the establishment of a Board of Claims. The bill for the sale of the Canal was referred to a special committee. Communications were read from the President of the United States and Governor of Indiana.--The tax bill was debated. The House passed Senate bill allowing the Petersburg Railroad Company to increase its capital stock. Mr. Collier offered a joint resolution for final adjournment on the 25th instant. Senate bill incorporating the Southern Express Company was passed. Resolutions of the Indiana Legislature, in reference to a Convention to amend the Constitution of the United States, and resolutions of Congress in relation to an amendment of the same instrument, were read. The Committee on the Penitentiary returned a report on that subject. A petition was presented in favor of giving liens to persons furnishing building materials. The House meets to-day at 10 o'clock.

United States vessels at the Navy-yard. The sloop-of-war Jamestown, which was taken off the dry-dock last week, will be fitted for sea in a short time. The steamer Water Witch was put upon the dock on Thursday, and will be launched again to-morrow. Orders have been received from Washington to fit out the Water Witch for service immediately. The Water Witch carries four guns, and is a substantial fast-sailing vessel. In this connection might be mentioned that considerable activity exists in the arsenal, on Gray's Ferry Road, in the manufacture of clothing and stores for the Quartermaster's department of the Army.--Phila.

o American Confederacies. --It is announced in the journals, that the French Government has issued instructions to the Custom-House officers at the Atlantic and Mediterranean ports, for their guidance during the present disturbance in the United States. The officers are to pay no attention to the irregularities of form in the clearances, where no doubt exists as to the origin of the vessels. But these instructions extend only to goods carried by ships under the flag of the United States.

age! How long is it since the North forgot the same thing? Why, the ink is scarcely dry on Secretary Marcy's flat refusal to the propositions of the Paris Peace Congress to America to give up privateering, a refusal which every paper in the United States applauded to the echo, among them the very one which now talks about privateering being unchristian and behind the age! If privateering is unchristian, it took the Christian world a long time to find out the sin of it, for every Christian, as well as unchristian nation on the face of the earth has practiced it, and none as much as the United States, who, during the Revolution and the late war, made it their main reliance, their "militia of the seas," as the Northern people have delighted to call it, and found it too valuable ever to surrender.--Every one must remember, that when the great powers at Paris artfully proposed to America to surrender privateering, it was universally replied by the Northern journals that, having but a s
