Seamen's Bethel. --The presentation of the bell lately used at the Club-House, to the Chaplain of the Seamen's Bethel, is an act of such commendable import, that we are induced to lay before our readers the correspondence in reference thereto. The bell will be placed in the tower of Bethel Church very soon, and the basement of the house opened for worship next Sunday week: Richmond, Jan. 24th, 1861. Rev. Francis J. Boggs, Seamen's Chaplain.-- Dear Sir: At the last meeting of the Bell Committee of the Bell and Everett Club, of this city, it was determined to present you, for the Bethel, the bell used on our Club-House, knowing, as we do, that your society is not sectarian, and appreciating your enterprise as most worthy, and justly entitled to the attention and sympathy of all interested in this useful, but neglected class of society. The matter, by neglect of the committee, has been left to my discretion, and though there is still a considerable amount due me

e South will never be prevented from shedding our blood, and desolating our homes by resolutions, ordinances, or any other mere paper bulwarks. If it costs too much now to raise and instruct enough troops to defend Virginia, what will it cost to do so, after a battle has been fought, and lost by uninstructed troops? When thousands of her best men and soldiers are in bloody graves, and millions of property has been destroyed. The school boy who cannot figure out economy and safety in preparation has made but little progress either in arithmetic or common sense. The proposed preparation is not intended to be aggressive, but defensive. If the State designs to submit, without security for the rights of the South, be it so, but if these rights are to be insisted on, her safety should not be trifled with, and nothing can insure it but the means of resisting attack. These, fellow-citizens, are my views, briefly and frankly stated. G. W. Richardson. January 24, 1861. ja 26--1t

the Union. I would proceed with prudence and deliberation; if need be, I would appeal to the people of the North against the politicians. I would, in the meantime, prepare for any emergency that might arise. Failing, after these efforts, to obtain the fullest and most ample guarantees for our future peace and safety in the Union, I would endeavor to secure the peaceable separation of the States--and thus forming a common compact with the South, maintain by force of arms our every right. Your obedient servant, Wms. C. Wickham. P. S.--Since writing the above, I learn that a proposition is on foot for holding a meeting of the conservative portion of the people of Henrico, for the purpose of selecting a candidate for the Convention. Preferring, myself, that you should select some one from your own county, I do not wish in any way to forestall or embarrass the action of such meeting, when held. Respectfully, Wms. C. Wickham.

From Washington.[Special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Washington Jan,24, 1861 This is one of the days you don't read about in the French or any other primer. Last night the weather got on a snow, but changed its mind every six inches as it came down, so that the general result this morning is awful. The gutters are running as if a spring shower had fallen, the house-tops are covered with snow, and the sidewalks with sleet. If you walk on the pavement you will slip up and break your neck; if you try the middle of the street you will be drowned. It is raining hard, and the wind is blowing in forty-two different directions. Washington is the only place I was ever in where the wind blows right straight out of the ground. Good for old Lynchburg! I am proud of her. She's got her back up, and goes in for secession if things ain't settled pretty quickly.--Not much chance of that, judging from the way the Blacks treated Crittenden's resolutions yesterday. Seward, you k
