ut they would never be able to succeed. He believed these resolutions were prepared before Lincoln's Inaugural made its appearance, and maintained that Virginia should not be thus committed withclared he was agreeably disappointed in the pacific tone which breathes throughout the whole of Lincoln's Inaugural Address. It was well that the people could read it, and judge for themselves, withmessage in December last, to show that they stood alike upon the Constitution. And yet because Lincoln had expressed his constitutional views of the action of States which he (Mr. C.) believed were inia was also to be dragged into rebellion and civil war. He was not here as an apologist for Mr. Lincoln, but believed that he would not have dared to acknowledge the right of the secession of StateHarrison. That gentleman had said this resolution was prepared in advance of the appearance of Lincoln's Inaugural. Mr. Carlile disclaimed any reference to Mr. Cox's original resolution; he had

the exporting and importing State of the whole — for there is no tolerable port south of Hampton Roads — and take her legitimate place as the acknowledged head of all her natural comrades." As to the absurd notion that, in the event of joining the Southern Confederacy, slavery in Virginia would no longer have the protection of the Federal Government, the Examiner remarks that it shall not insult the understanding of the Virginian planter by explaining to him that though we shall lose Lincoln's aid, there will yet be a Central Government in the land, and the sole difference in the amount of its protection and his own safety then and now will be the difference between that to be afforded by a Government altogether in the hands of Abolitionists and that which will be given by a Government altogether in the hands of slaveholders. The Southern Union will consist of slave States alone. Its institutions and interests will be homogeneous. All the laws will be made with one aim-- th

ence by fanaticism and a deadly hatred to men whom they have all along regarded, and still regard, as their superiors, Mr. Lincoln is mysterious, without frankness, and strictly noncommittal, and leaves a wide berth to creep out of any unpleasant fid insult into his very teeth, and in that of all Black Republicans, North or South. Now mark my prediction, that if Lincoln dare attempt what he darkly hints at, coercion, that in less than six months you will see a Southern army invading the Nce commenced it will not be ended on Southern soil. The people here are just as cool and as dispassionate to- day as if Lincoln had never lived. We are prepared for the most, and the worst, and we now say, "lay on Macduff." Our harbor is fills is the wont of many of your United States. Now, Messrs. Editors, as you are the peculiar friends of Mr. President Lincoln, I beg that you will just let him know that we are looking out for his arrival here, and that of his Lieut. General. As

Extra session of the U. S. Senate. Washington, March 7. --Mr. Wigfall, the resolution to print the Inaugural being up, argued that its policy was war. He said the representatives from the Confederate States were accredited to this Government to make a treaty for a peaceable separation and division of the public property and debt. It was nonsense to talk, as Lincoln did, of an unbroken Union, when seven States were out, never more to return. If this Government does not remove the troops at Forts Sumter and Pickens, the Confederate States will soon do it for it. The old Union is dead, and the only question is, shall it be buried in a respectable Protestant manner, or by an Irish wake? Mr. Douglas, in rejoinder, reiterated his positions of yesterday, that the Inaugural was indicative of peace. He learned, from the best military authority, it would take 10,000 men, and the entire navy, to reinforce Sumter. Mr. Mason said it was unusual to print an inaugural, as it w

ke a few extracts from our Virginia exchanges showing the feeling created by Mr. Lincoln's Inaugural in this State: [from the Norfolk Herald.] It has utterly extinguished our small ray of hope in Mr. Lincoln's conservatism, which he had kindled up since his arrival in Washington. The address is offensive to the Southernates to restore the Union upon honorable and fair grounds, now discover that Mr. Lincoln, elected by a plurality only of the votes of the American people, inclines tesumed the powers formerly delegated by them to the Federal Government. Mr. Lincoln has committed a capital mistake — such a one as Talleyrand pronounced " worsy its dismemberment. Yet, now that such causes do exist, and believing that Mr. Lincoln's policy will tend only to increase and magnify them, we cannot hesitate to in this contest. She must unite with the Confederate States in resistance to Lincoln's despotism, or she must, by simply remaining in this Union, contribute her mo

The Convention. A resolution was offered yesterday, by Mr. Brown, of Preston, looking to financial arrangements in the possible event of a war. It was laid on the table. Mr. Clark, of Nelson, offered an anti-coercion resolution, which was referred to Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Carlile made a long speech on the pending resolutions to instruct the committee, in which he declared against the constitutionality of secession, held that the Government had a right to collect the revenue in the seceded States, and endorsed Lincoln's Inaugural Address, in the pacific tone of which he was "agreeably disappointed." Mr. Cox, of Chesterfield, made a brief reply, after which, on motion of Mr. Brent, of Alexandria, the Convention adjourned, without having made the slightest progress in the disposal of the questions before it.

re cold, contracted diphtheria, and has been under medical treatment since his incarceration; and yesterday was the first day which it was deemed proper for him to go out to be tried. He will, no doubt, become a resident of the western part of Richmond. Friday, Saturday and Sunday were three beautiful days, but since that it has been terrible. Last night appeared to be as cold as any since December; but I presume cold strikes us harder after a few warm days. The Inaugural of Abraham Lincoln comes upon our Union friends in this locality in rather a bad shape, as they confidently expected he would not preach coercion. But they were mistaken, and, as a consequence, Union stock has a downward tendency. Our papers will speak rather stronger for secession this week than at any other time since the election. Taking that as an index to the sentiments of our people, you will perceive a very decided change in feeling in this county, and should not fear the result of a canvass upo

tton which enters almost entirely into English manufactures, can be produced nowhere but in the Southern Atlantic States. We had no idea, however, that the press which in England is not often in the secrets of the Government, would begin to swing round from its anti-Southern position so soon. As to the French organ, Le Pays, we are free to confess that such an unmistakable demonstration of the sentiments of the Emperor in behalf of the South, almost simultaneously with the inauguration of Lincoln, we had not anticipated. In opposition to the Black Republican journals, we have all along expressed the opinion that the interests of England would compel her to give a friendly hand to the Southern Confederacy, but France is even ahead of England, in its words of good cheer. Le Pays is the organ of the Emperor of the French, edited by the same hand which writes those remarkable pamphlets to which Europe has now become accustomed to look for revelations of the future. It comprehends and
