o dissolve the ties which bind us to the Union, they should have all they wanted; and he had the temerity to say he did this without consultation with his constituents.--He (Mr. Johnson) hoped that the constituents of that gentleman would not sustain him in this, and that he would find himself solitary and alone. He would vote to lay the resolutions on the table, for he believed their consideration now would embarrass the primary question which the Convention was called to consider. Mr. Woods, of Barbour, said he had hoped there would have been magnanimity enough among Eastern gentlemen to have proposed a plan for equalizing the taxes, without waiting for it to come from the West. He regretted the latitude that the debate had taken, and that there was so much excitement on the question, which merely proposed the raising of committees to make inquiries. Every grievance complained of by any portion of the citizens of the Common wealth, he thought, ought to be removed by this Co

essary and proper. Resolved. That the basis of representation in the two Houses of the General Assembly should be the same; Therefore, be it further. Resolved. That a committee of twelve members, to be selected in equal numbers from the four great divisions of the State, be appointed to apportion representation in the Senate according to the number of the qualified voters in the Commonwealth, and that they report amendments of the 4th Article of the Constitution accordingly. Mr. Woods, of Barbour, being entitled to the floor, proceeded to advocate the resolutions. In the course of his remarks he dilated with force upon the extravagance of State legislation. He believed that unless it were curtailed, the State of Virginia, whatever might be her action in other respects, was marching onward to ultimate repudiation.--He appealed to the magnanimity of Eastern gentlemen to do justice to the West. It was important at this crisis that the people of the different sections s

uesting 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's reports, and Mr. Holcombe has the floor, in Committee of the Whole, to-day.

referred, exempting persons employed in the mines of the Commonwealth from military duty. Mr. McComas, in view of the invasion of the State and the actual hostilities now forced upon us, favored an adjournment from next Monday till December, and delivered a patriotic and eloquent speech in favor of his motion. It was amended so as to make the adjournment sine die; but, on motion of R. E. Scott, of Fauquier, the whole subject was laid on the table. A resolution was, on motion of Mr. Woods, referred to a select committee of five, canceling all debts, bonds, &c., of traitors to Virginia, though Mr. L. S. Hall thought that hemp would be a more proper remedy for such flagrant treason as the resolution comprehended. Mr. Goods, of Bedford, called up an ordinance authorizing County Courts to provide for the families of volunteers — to supply uniform and arms; which was adopted after undergoing several amendments, the principal of which was that the Banks of the State are auth
