Richmond, Jan. 16.--The joint resolutions submitted a few days since, in the Virginia Senate, by Mr. Pate, in relation to the reclamation of Western and North-western Virginia, were taken up and unanimously adopted.
The resolutions declare that in no event will the State of Virginia submit to, or consent to the loss of a “foot of her soil,” etc., and are designed to reassure and encourage the loyal people of the invaded sections.
On motion of Mr. Finney, of Accomac, the preamble was amended by striking out the specific locality, and made to include all the invaded counties.--Richmond Dispatch.
