The Daily Dispatch: February 27, 1861., [Electronic resource], The working men's National Convention. (search)
requested to repeal all personal liberty bills that may violate any constitutional principles of the people of the United States. 9. The working men of the thirty-four States are recommended to form associations, pledging themselves to lay upon the altar of their country all party predilections, and to maintain the Union of all these States, "one and inseparable, now and forever." 10. The next National Convention of the Working Men is to be held at Louisville, Kentucky, on the 4th of July, 1861, and a hope is expressed that the working men will send delegates from every State. After three cheers had been given for the resolutions, Mr. John O. Lawrence, of Virginia, moved in a very able speech, that an Executive Committee of three be appointed, with power to increase the number to thirty-four. The following gentlemen are the committee: the President, Mr. J. B. Curry and Mr. John Wolf. Mr. Touchstone, of Maryland, delivered a very impressive speech, and introduced sev

The plan. --I am at last enabled to send you a comprehensive announcement of the governmental policy concerning offensive movements. It is the intention of the President to crush out this rebellion, if possible, before the 4th of July, 1861. He has determined and ordered that if it be practicable — simultaneous attacks be made upon Norfolk, Richmond, Harper's Ferry and Pensacola, and that a flotilla be sent down the Mississippi river.--There is to be no trifling. Good citizens will be protected, but traitors will be hung and their property will be confiscated.--Wash. Cor. N. Y. Times.

es. Gov. Hicks is working up to a sense of the existing dangers. He will this week issue a proclamation for a special meeting of the Maryland Legislature. Geo. Sanders, formerly Consul to Liverpool, proposes that if the two sections can't come to terms, and the Crisis Committee break up, (of which there is little prospect, as I hear, this morning,) then let Congress authorize the Southern States to go out if they choose, taking with them all the forts and arsenals belonging to the United States, and holding them till the 4th of July, 1861, by which time it can be ascertained certainly what the real feeling of the Northern people may be with respect to granting the amendments and other guarantees necessary to reassure the South. From expressions let fall just now by one of the Virginia delegation, I am more and more impressed with the belief that a temporary pause is about to take place; and it so, she friends of the Union are hopeful of stopping the Revolution.

Virginia State Convention,Sixteenth day--(Second Session). Richmond, July 04, 1861. evening Session. The Stay Law was first taken up on several amendments, chiefly providing for the payment of interest on debts thus suspended. Mr. Cox said that of all the ordinances passed by this Convention at its last session, this Stay Law ordinance was the most unpopular in his county. Mr. R. E. Scott, of Fauquier, urged his views on the subject. Laid on the table. Mr. James Basque, from the Committee on Confederate Relations, submitted a report stating that. "the President of the Confederate States agreed to receive into the Confederate service for twelve months any regiment, battalion or company, already organized, in cases where such organizations already formed may offer only for twelve months," &c.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.presentation of a flag. Camp Hermitage, July 4, 1861. On Wednesday evening Camp Hermitage was the theatre of a scene of so pleasing and patriotic an aspect as to be long remembered by all who were fortunate enough to be spectators. On the assembling of the troops for dress parade, and while a battery of beauteous eyes was directed to the stalwart forms of our brave soldiers, a sudden swaying of the crowd of spectators to and fro announced the occurrence of something unusual. Eager eyes scanned every direction, and those unable from their distance to ascertain the nature of the commotion, were pressing forward to see and learn, when all doubts and surmises were dissipated as some one enthusiastically shouted, "Three cheers for President Davis" Literally surrounded by the dense mass, through which, with difficulty, his prancing steeds forced a passage, our Chief Magistrate was shaking hands and bowing to the eager aspirants for that ho

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.the fourth of July at Manassas Junction. Manassas Junction, Camp Pickens, July 4, 1861. The eighty-fifth anniversary of American independence has dawned upon us, and, instead of the joyous and happy scenes which has characterised the celebration of this great day, we find ourselves placed in the same position as our forefathers were when framing the Declaration of Independence, which declared the Colonies free from the tyrannical power of England; and now, after years of laborious work in building up a Government which delied the world to produce its equal, we should have this great gallon thrown into deadly strife with one another by a party which is determined that another party shall not have the right which the Constitution of the United States gave us. And when we come to contemplate the position occupied by us, we cannot but be struck with the contrast between our forefathers and ourselves. Battling for the rights and liberties

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.unfortunate mistake--two soldiers killed. Fairfax. C. H., July 4, 1861. A most unfortunate mistake, resulting in the loss of two of our men, occurred last night in the direction of Fall's Church. A considerable force of Infantry and Cavalry, with two pieces of Artillery, were sent out last night towards the Church. The various companies having taken their positions, Colonel Montfort, of the Virginia Cavalry, dispatched three men upon an errand of observation of some kind. It is said they started off in a walk, when he called upon them to proceed in a gallop. They obeyed the order, but had not proceeded more than three hundred yards before they came upon a party of Confederate Infantry concealed in the bushes. Supposing them to belong to the enemy, the Infantry fired upon them, killing Corporal Madison Tyler and private Samuel Gordon, both of Warrenton, and belonging to the Virginia Black Horse Cavalry, and wounding — Smith, of the

sand-bag batteries, on which he had experimented in New York harbor, by having boats protected by them and then firing on them with heavy shot. But the justice of God, though always sure, is not always so soon exemplified as was in the case of this unfortunate Yankee. He had gotten to work with his famous sand bags, and not content with doing his duty as Captain of one of the Old Ape's ships, he must do more than was ever expected of a Navy Captain, and rushes to a gun, (to give Virginia a deadly ball in return for the many other balls at which he had participated,) when the hand of God smote the ingrate from existence. He has now gone before his Maker, and may his base ingratitude and timely retribution, he a warning to all such Yankees. If there are any more left, let them send all such characters along, and Virginians and their noble associates will show them, as they have always done that they never turn their backs on friends and foes. D. J. W. Norfolk, 4th July, 1861.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.the Fourth at Camp Jackson. Gams Jackson, Pig's Point, July 4, 1861. One year ago the American people were vig na with their shouts of freedom, from the show cizd mountains of Maine to the beautiful Rio Grande, standing one united nation in praise and commemoration of this day. But now different now. That union is broken which bound as to our unworthy foe, and a new Republic has sprung forth, like Minerva from the brow of Jupiter, born to be the wide of the world, and the glory of the skies. We feel proud of the sublime position the Southern States have taken — that this very day, threatened with subjugation, we are still me for the very same principles of 76 which declared against oppression, and that of right we ought to be free. At an early hear this morning, our two Feziments and one Louisiana Regiment met on the parade grounds, according to previous notice. They were soon formed this battle lines by our Abie and distingui
