It then sent deputies, to carry out here its other arrangements; which are, to elect, by this Convention, Senator Davis President of the Southern Confederacy, and to take the Constitution of the United States just as it is. The policy of Mississippi, I understand, extends no further. A permanent Constitution, for a permanent Government, is to be thrown over.--That is to be thought of at some future day, (as Mr. Seward says, "one, two, or three years hence,") when the frontier States are in union with us. I propose now to state to you the Georgia project. It is this: That the Convention here shall elect a President of the Southern Confederacy. But a President without a Legislature which can create a Cabinet, foreign ministers, an army and navy, and raise the money to support them, is an useless absurdity. The Georgians, therefore, propose that the Convention here assembled shall assume all legisl

Virginia's verdict is generally considered to have broken the back of secession. Its effect on the conservative majority of Northern men in Congress is to increase their disposition to arrange some compromise that shall strengthen the Border States in resisting the tide of secession in the South. Wm. C. Rives, in conversation to-day, cautioned gentlemen not to mistake the postponement for the abandonment of secession in Virginia. He said, "We will secede if our difficulties are not composed upon an equitable basis, and Virginia will wait to see whether that basis be accepted or rejected, " "What basis?" was asked. "The Crittenden propositions," was the reply. The speech of Mr. Bouligny, of Louisiana, in refusing to accede to the request of his Legislature, to withdraw from the House, no
