ry like the tawdry and disjointed exhibitions known formerly in Virginia as a big master of the bare-foot militia. The gimstack contraption filled with little girls, was about the only striking object in the whole turn-out, and that was ridiculous. The Republican Association, numbering some two hundred men, cut an extensive figure. Suel a collection of vite faces I never saw. Lincoln sat in an open carriage next to Buchan an, with Senators Pearce and Baker on the front seat. As he passed Brown's, he looked up, but turned his head so quickly that I could not get a good view of him. Surround at by armed men, he felt pretty secure.--Armed men were also stationed on the house tops all along the avenue. All the Federal Artillery were in readiness at their various ports to limber up and pour showers of grap into the crowd in case of disturbance. Of course there was none. I noticed that the negroes were out in large numbers. No wonder that the procession was not greeted with a single

s would be received by Mr. Lincoln, and that the Forts would be surrendered, and that it was brought about by Mr. Seward.--This needs confirmation, and is, I think, exceedingly improbable. I am glad to see that your people are waking up all over your State, and I cannot see what your Convention can be waiting for, unless it is to kill time. A gentleman said to me a few days ago, "those Virginians love to speak very much; pity what they loved to act as well. " Are you a ware that Gov. Brown, of Georgia. Hon Wm. L Yancey, Hon. Mr. Benjamin, Hon Mr. Wigfall, and most of the leading men in the secession movement, every where, are Carolinian? A rumor reached this city, a few days ago, in the effect that President Davis had vetoed the bill for suppressing the African slave trade. That report needs confirmation, and your Convention need not be at all alarmed upon that subject. The weather to day was clear and fine, but as my present writing a regular March wind is blowi

Sunday, April 21, 1861. This morning, at an early hour, three men, who had been confined in our county jail for sometime, escaped, by sawing off the bars of their cell window. Their names were Fernando Crawford, Brown, and the notorious Landes, of whom I made mention in a former letter. Their crimes were burglary and theft. Early this morning, handbills were printed and runners started to circulate them in all directions, as we have no Sunday mails. J. T. Logan, Deputy Sheriff, is out with men to search for them. They will, doubtless, be arrested, as they did not probably get out much before daylight, or the Night-Watch would have captured them — the Night-Watch having been discharged about 3½ o'clock.

The Rockbridge Rifles left early this morning. I understand that the
