nt, and I will cooperate with them in their measures to place matters here on a safe and secure basis. I expect to be here two weeks, and will make you full returns of money and property belonging to the State Central Arsenal. All the arms and ammunition are safely stored here. Then I will write you more at length. With sincere respect, your friend, W. T. Sherman. Major Smith's receipt to me, for the arms and property belonging both to the seminary and to the arsenal, is dated February 19, 1861. I subjoin also, in this connection, copies of one or two papers that may prove of interest: Baton Rouge, January 28, 1861. To Major Sherman, Superintendent, Alexandria. my dear sir: Your letter was duly received, and would have been answered ere this time could I have arranged sooner the matter of the five hundred dollars. I shall go from here to New Orleans to-day or to-morrow, and will remain there till Saturday after next, perhaps. I shall expect to meet you there, as in

estions offered. I have written the members of the Board on the subject, and urged their immediate attention to the whole matter. I am aware of its importance, but am compelled to leave all such matters (military) to those who have a knowledge of them. I only regret, with all of our friends, that you could not accept the post tendered you, Colonel of Artillery and Chief of Engineers. With the highest regards, your obedient servant, In haste. Thos. O. Moore. New Orleans, Feb. 19th, 1861. Dear Sir,—Your favor of the 17th instant has just been received. I thank you for regretting that I could not accept the military position tendered me. Although not in service, I wish it distinctly understood that my professional knowledge and experience are at the command of my native State, even unto death, whenever required—but without military rank; not, however, through any jealousy of General Bragg's appointment, for I am happy to state that it is a most excellent choice; and

He voted, July 12, 1866, in association with his colleague, Mr. Wilson, for the postponement of a tariff for the increase of duties,—a measure chiefly promoted by the wool-growing interest, and meeting with little favor from New England manufacturers.—both acting in harmony with their position in the passage of the tariff act of 1857. At the extra session in July, 1861, he opposed raising the duties inposed in the Morrill Act by ten per cent, takin

The troops will carry with them provisions as far as the coast. By order of Brevet Major-General Twiggs: A. N. Nichols, Assistant Adjutant-General. That was his last order, he being relieved of his command the next day, the 19th of February, 1861, by Colonel Waite assuming command of the department under an appointment previously made. The commissioners appointed agents to take charge of the public property after the evacuation of the Federal troops, and there being no longer any use for the volunteer forces of Col. Ben McCulloch, they were disbanded and returned to their homes. Ben McCulloch returned to Austin, and after getting an order for 1,000 guns for the State resigned his office.

Virginia State Convention,Sixth day. Tuesday, Feb. 19, 1861. The arrangements for admission having been, to some extent, perfected, there was less growing and confusion at the doors than on Monday. The mania among the ladies, however, seems to be in nowise diminished; indeed we think it is rather on the increase, for they were at the Hall doors as early as 8 o'clock. To exclude any of the fair ones, would be out of the question; and, since the Convention is now the centre of their fondest hoes and desires, it is needless to say that they very soon filled the space prepared for that especial accommodation, and almost monopolized the spectators' chairs, while a considerable number found their way into the Cost gallery. For some hours previous to the speeding of the convention, therefore, the Hall resounded with female voices, varying key from alto to falsetto. We are by no means condemning this curious propensity, daily manifested by the ladies; on the convey we like it, and

His primary education was in the Orphan Asylum of this city — an institution unequalled in America, and in which Mr. Memminger has to this day a large and interesting class of females as Sunday School scholars. Great men can afford to condescend to what the world calls small things. Virginius. From Washington.[special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Washington, Feb. 19, 1861. The papers of this morning do not confirm what was stated, on good authority, last night-- viz: that it is almost certain that every one of Virginia's propositions will be rejected in the Peace Congress. The right of property in slaves, as existing under the Constitution, is denied, the right of transit with slaves, through free States, is also denied; likewise protection to slavery in future Territories. But, be this true or false, the indications yesterday show that compromises
