Arrival of musicians. --We understand that the Tappahannock stage, which arrived yesterday evening, brought a full band of musicians from Baltimore, who escaped from that city to join the soldiers of the Maryland Line, now in the service of the Confederate States.

Mr. Sewell reported the following ordinance, which was ordered to be printed: Be it Ordained, That in such counties of this State as are not actually invaded, but which, from she proximity of the enemy of the State, or other cause, danger exists of a loss of property to the citizens th debate sprang up on Mr. Holcombe's resolution, providing that Virginia shall at once adopt the Constitution of the Confederate States. After much discussion and considerable amendments the ordinance was adopted. An ordinance was reported trans
supplied at a rate that must soon suffice to supply all demands. The Southern soldiers are the most uncomplaining set of me in the world; especially do they fail to make known supposition's grievances when pursuing the line of patriotic duty. If they have no tents and they cannot be gotten, they are willing to sleep on the ground uncomplainingly. We rather expect that all of the sails of out bay and river craft would prove insufficient to house even a small modicum of the force the Confederate States now have in the field. The same correspondent suggests that, a the season is approaching when (in lower Virginia) autumnal diseases may be expected, would be wise and prudent to keep troops from the mountains away from the seaboard, and to occupy it with the noble fellows from the South. Soldiers have to obey the order of their commanding General, and go indifferently to high or low land. It makes no difference where our brave army is ordered, as all of its constituent members a
t is wholly unfounded. Lord Stanley had given notice of his intention to ask what steps the Government has taken to prevent the violation of neutrality in the case of regiments of volunteers from Canada, who offered their services to the United States. Lord John Russell said that he had no knowlege of the tender of a Canadian regiment to the United States. Five cases of rifles, addressed to the Commercial Bank of New York, were refused by the agents of the steamer Adriatic at GalUnited States. Five cases of rifles, addressed to the Commercial Bank of New York, were refused by the agents of the steamer Adriatic at Galway. The position of the Irish members relative to the Galway subsidy was again debated, and several disclaimed any intention of tampering with the Government. France. A bill has been presented to the legislative body for construction of a third rate telegraph lines. Twenty-two different branches are mentioned, the total length being 828 miles the expense of which will be about 14,000 francs. It is said that the Emperor will send an aide-de-camp to represent him at the funera
war. The enemy may outnumber us largely and the problem to be solved is, whether the South will make up in prowess what it lacks in numbers. So far, the enemy has had every advantage over us in his facilities for collecting armies. He was much nearer the present seat of the war. His large cities enabled him to recruit troops more rapidly, and his railroads and extensive shipping to concentrate them more readily in their present encampments. He had the military organization of the United States all ready to his hands; he had an arm; and navy complete at all points. He had an old established government machinery in full operation, and vast resources at command maritime, financial, political and military. The South, on the contrary, had everything to organise from revolution. She had a new Government to erect and to furnish and equip in its numerous departments and thousand perplexing details. She had no Navy. She had no Army. She had to set diligently to work in prepar
Was the United States a National or a Federal Government. There is little doubt that the self-styled Republican party will sustain their chief, or rather their supple instrument, Abraham Lincoln, in the avowed purpose of obliterating State linh during the last Presidential canvass that there was the such word as nationalism in the political vocabulary of the United States. It was foisted into it by men who intended thereby to impress upon the public mind certain political principles at red a federal government. Mr. Pinckney, of South Carolina, offered a resolution to call the new government the "United States of America," but it was voted down, and Mr. Randolph's resolutions in favor of a national government were adopted and refersts and other monopolies, all of which were favored by their opponents. It is important to bear these facts in mind at this time, when our enemies base their whole cause on the theory that the United States was a National Consolidated Government.
