Virginia State Convention.Fifth day.--[Second session.] Richmond June 18, 1861. In the absence of Mr. President Janney, Mr. Southall called the Convention to order at the usual hour. The session was opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Peterkin, the same reverend gentleman who officiated so acceptably on yesterday. [It certainly is not out of place here to inquire why Bishop Matill, of the Catholic Church, has not been invited, in turn, to open the sessions with prayer. He certainly is as truly Southern, and so are all his clergy, as any man or set of men South of the Potomac. Such discriminations are, of course, unintentional, but they may coefate mischievously.] Mr. Macfarland, of Richmond, (who, we presume, from his frequent calls on the Chair and large budget of documents, is the custos peen of our Commonwealth,) submitted a resolution authorizing any Banks in the State which may be menaced by an invading foe to stampede instanter, with bag and baggage, (which

This communication was referred to James Barbour's Committee on Confederate Relations. On motion of Wm. P. Cecil, the name of Scott county was ordered to be changed to Davis county, and Buchanan county to Stephens county. The motion, however, was not finally acted upon, but was ordered to be printed. When it comes up it will go through like a breeze. Mr. Leaks submitted a resolution, which was appropriately referred, exempting persons employed in the mines of the Commonwealth from military duty.

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

He was prepared, he said, to give names of members of this Convention who were traitors — who are "aiding and comforting" the enemy; yet the chairman of the committee asks to be discharged from the further consideration of the subject without calling a single witness, or notifying himself as the mover of the resolution. He could give the names of several who ought to be hung as high as Haman.--Mr. Haymond came to the rescue of the committee, but Mr. Ambler's energetic protest against the reports from chairmen of committees who have not consulted the members thereof, quickly recommitted the subject to the same committee, with instructions to "enlarge their record." Mr. Holcombe reported an ordinance adopting, in the name of Virginia, the Constitution of the Confederate States. Mr. Bowyer submitted a minority report. Both were referred.

On motion, the Convention adjourned to 10 o'clock to-morrow. P. S.--We omitted, in our report of the proceedings at the Spotswood House, published in our issue of yesterday, to tender our acknowledgments to Col. Thompson, Sergeant-at-Arms of the Convention, for his kindness and courtesy in affording us every facility in his power in giving the only report of the interesting ceremonies of that occasion published in any of our city papers. The Colonel is a highly popular officer, and deservedly so. Can't we induce him to accept a position in Governor Floyd's Brigade, and meet us "at Phillippi?"
