of the public service: Post-Office Department, Appointment Office, January 22, 1861. Sir --In answer to the inquiry in your letter of the 15th to the Postmaster General, he instructs me to inform you that you were removed from the office of Postmaster at Paducah because you announced yourself as "devoutly in favor of disunion," and it is not considered prudent to retain in the service of the Government men openly seeking its overthrow. I am, respectfully, your obedient servant, Horatio King. First Assistant Postmaster General. John C. Noble, Esq., Paducah, Ky. As a rejoinder to the manifesto of a majority of the Virginia delegation, Senators Crittenden and Douglas, and Messrs. Malison, Boteler and Harris, of Virginia, of the House, have united in a letter to Hon. James Barbour, of the Virginia Legislature, giving assurance that the prospect of a peaceful and satisfactory settlement of troubles is better than at any previous time, and hourly brightening.

ng to excite general pity, not to say contempt. The postponement of the Force bill in the House until Thursday was considered equivalent to its defeat. But the fact that the Committee on Federal Relations of the Virginia Convention had voted down Mr. Macfarland's resolution in regard to the collection of revenue in the seceded States, strengthened the nerves of the Black Republicans, and the Force bill will now, in all probability, be passed. Thus Virginia inaugurates civil war. Mr. James Barbour's vote in favor of coercion is the subject of much comment. It is both affirmed and denied that Mr. Jno. Bell, of Tennessee, has come on by invitation, to take a seat in the Cabinet. No new Cabinet appointments have been made since Lincoln's arrival. Reports favor Gideon Weller, Winter Davis, and Caleb Smith. Mr. Botts has not been mentioned. The Northern papers are very severe in their criticisms upon Hon. Mr. Jenkins, of your State, because of his letter to Postmaster Ge

abolish slavery; if it was vital to her social system, Virginia would die; and in the attempt to abolitionize the Government which had been made by the Republican party, the whole political system of the nation had been torn asunder. If this was not proof enough of the vitality of slavery in the political system, he knew not what vitality was. The question being on Mr. Wise's amendment, the yeas and nays were demanded by Mr. Conrad, and the vote resulted as follows: Yeas.--Messrs.

The Convention. The debate was continued on Saturday, in Committee of the Whole, on the pending propositions. Mr. Flournoy urged the presenting of an ultimatum to the North, without a Conference with the Border States. Mr. Goggin spoke in favor of his own ordinance of secession, which looks to a re-construction in union with the States which-have withdrawn. Mr. James Barbour commenced a speech, advocating secession, but was physically unable to finish. He will resume the floor to-day, if the state of his health permits. The Convention, after a pretty warm contest, adopted a resolution for the termination of debate, in Committee of the Whole, on Thursday next.

hole, Mr. Southall in the chair, for the purpose of considering the report of the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Barbour, of Culpeper, took the floor, and resumed his remarks. He commenced with an allusion to the bankrupt condition ofes as they existed on the 1st day of January, closes his eyes to the events that have been transpiring around us. Mr. Barbour would go into no Free-Soil Government, separated from the seceded States. If they are brought back, it will have to ber in the Government at Washington. The former afforded complete protection and relief; and to sustain this position, Mr. Barbour produced abundant statistics of Southern trade, demonstrating the certainty of the revenue to accrue from the great st, with Virginia swinging on as an appendage. In proceeding to urge the policy of uniting with the seceded States, Mr. Barbour satirized with some keenness the course of those "statesmen" in the Convention who professed to know what Virginia oug

was not that "nobody had been hurt" by the success of the Black Republican party, but that the prophesied evils had not come to pass. He went on the advise the policy of waiting until the experiment of the new Government shall have proved successful, before relinquishing one which had been acknowledged to be the grandest upon earth. The report of the Committee of Twenty-One distinctly takes the ground that the Southern Confederacy ought to be acknowledged. The gentleman from Culpeper (Mr. Barbour) had read from the London news, the organ of Exeter Hall, to show that England would recognize the new Confederacy. He (Mr. Tredway) thought it perfectly natural that England, the worst enemy of the South, should recognize any policy foreshadowing the destruction of this country. She dare not attack us united; but divided, it would be easier for her to carry into effect her cherished desire to conquer the continent. He called attention to the fleets now being fitted out by foreign Gove
