ld be adopted upon which the whole South would be willing to stand. He then went on to reply to the argument of the gentleman from Augusta in regard to protection and free trade. The advantages of a separation from the Government of the United States were next pointed out. Under the system of legislation that prevailed, it would be impossible for Virginia to become what the God of Nature designed she should become. In the event of a resumption of her sovereign powers, and a union with thlative to the action of the Committee being final upon the subject before it, he intimated his purpose to make an appeal to the Convention at the proper time. Mr. Hall, or Wetzel, made some remarks touching upon the Constitution of the Confederate States, which he regarded as the best the world ever saw. He hoped it would be presented to the North as Virginia's ultimatum. The report of the Peace Conference, proposed by the gentleman from Harrison, he regarded as a cheat and a fraud. M
ession of the Southern States would produce only temporary inconvenience to our people — no fundamental change could occur without this result, we had all the elements of unbounded prosperity — a chance of getting their best men, besides more territory.--A contrast favorable to Southern advantages was presented. A "Border Confederacy" was deprecated. There was no conflict of interest between the Border and Cotton States. The slave trade had been prohibited by the Constitution of the Confederate States. The Southern States could harmonize together.--The Creator had made the negro inferior to the white man — he had made a place and created him to fill it. At the South, white men were on an equality with each other; not so at the North. When an inferior race comes in contact with a superior race, there are only three solutions of the problem of government: amalgamation, extermination, or subordination — all of which had found an illustration in this continent. In Mexico, the Spania
From Washington. Washington,March 25. --Benj. F. Disherwood has been appointed Engineer-in-Chief of the Navy. A large number of business men from Baltimore are here to-day, to press the nomination of Corkoran for Collector. New York merchants are writing here that unless Congress holds an extra session to repeal the M.rrill tariff bill they will import goods via Charleston. Confirmations by the Senate.--William Gilpin, Governor of Colorado; Joshua R. Giddings, Consul to the British American Provinces; Mark N. Donnell, of Me., Consul to Vera Cruz; John Britton, of N. York, Consul to Southampton; W. O. Williams, District of Columbia, Second Lieutenant U. S. A.; Milena Tilton, of Maryland, Second Lieutenant Marine corps. Hiram Barney has been nominated Collector of New York. Also, Richard C. Parsons, of Ohio, Consul to Rio Janeiro; Robert W. Scheldt, Consul to Havana, and T. Bigelow Lawrence, Consul to Florence.
izure would not be remedied by such a proceeding, or the remedy might prove worse than the wrong. "In regard to the retention of the forts occupied by the United States, that is a question which is now brought down to the simple point of holding or abandoning Fort Pickens, for we assume that Fort Sumter will be evacuated at an entitled to claim on the ground of any necessity for her local defence. Forts Jefferson and Taylor were built with paramount reference to the commerce of the United States, and should remain in the hands of the Government which built them in the interest of its commerce.--The Key West naval coal depot and wharf, the marine hospitFort Clinch to guard the approaches to Fernandina; let her have the Pensacola Navy-Yard and the triple fortifications there; let her have what concerns only local interests; but the commercial United States cannot be justly called to surrender to uncommercial Florida what belongs to and concerns only the commerce of the nation."
Forts Sumter and Packens. --A telegram in the New York Herald from Washington, Saturday, states that the official order for the evacuation of Fort Sumter was issued on Friday, and a special messenger was immediately dispatched with it to Major Anderson. The fort is to be evacuated on the arrival in Charleston harbor of a United States vessel to receive them. Dispatches received by the Government from Fort Pickens represent that the garrison is short of provisions, and can hold out but a short time longer. The squadron off, Pensacola are unable to reinforce the fort or land supplies. The Administration will doubtless, before the lapse of many days, be obliged also to abandon that stronghold to the secessionists.
The broad Bars of the Confederacy. --We protest against the words "stripes," as applied to the broad bars of the flag of our Confederacy. The word is quite appropriate as applied to the Yankee ensign or a barber's pole; but it does not correctly describe the red and white divisions of the flag of the Confederate States. The word is bars--we have removed from under the stripes. As we speak of the flag, we may mention that the Committee on Flags caused the Secretary of Congress to order one from Mobile, for the Capitol, which will probably arrive to-day. It is 28 feet long, by 18 in width; and, as the Congress has adjourned till May, will probably be turned over temporarily to the War Department.--Montgomery Mail.
The Confederate States' loan. --The Atlanta Confederacy learns that a distinguished politician of the North went on to Montgomery last week with offers for the whole of the fifteen million loan at par, the bid being made by English capitalists. Mr. Memminger declined the negotiation, preferring to give domestic capitalists the refusal of the bids. The Confederacy says that a Georgia house has offered to take five millions of the loan.
A Crack Regiment. --The President of the Confederate States has accepted and drafted into the regular army the Zouave Regiment of New Orleans, numbering 630 men, commanded by Col. Coppen, formerly of the French army. A large majority of the regiment have seen real service in Europe — all are French, and the orders are to be given in the French language.
Capital coming South. --A few days ago four wealthy planters from Maryland, one owning a hundred slaves, passed through this place, on their way to Alabama, to purchase plantations with the intention of settling in the Confederate States.--Rome (Ga.) Southerner.
ubmit to the Bishops of our Church the propriety and necessity, under existing circumstances, of communicating to the Secretary of the Conference, previous to its next session, their determinations is regard to the questions that have arisen in this Conference at its present session, touching the action of the late General Conference on the subject of slavery, as we regard a decision on their part as essential to our interests as an organic body in the Methodist Episcopal Church in these United States." It was carried. A resolution of thanks to Bishop Scott for the able, impartial, and kind manner in which he had presided during the embarrassments of the session, was carried unanimously by a rising vote. Resolutions of thanks to the citizens of Staunton, and to various railroad and stage companies for favors shown, were passed in the same way. A. W. Wilson was placed on the Publishing Committee of the Register. The report of the Committee on the Metropolitan C
