ith entrails spreading for yards around them, some with mangled legs and arms, and with faces distorted with pain and horror. Some lay prone on the ground, with backs toward the enemy, and others struck dead while in peculiar postures, as if calling and motioning to others. For two miles back in the woods dead bodies were found of those killed by our shells. All the rebel wounded were taken off, but the dead remained. In a massive bomb-proof in Fort Walker was found the dead body of a Surgeon Borst, formerly of the United States army. He had doubtless retired to this place for safety, and it indeed seemed secure, formed as it was of massive walls and strengthened by great beams of wood. A large shell had whizzed into the small room through the small diagonal aperture, and struck a heavy piece of timber, tearing away the supports and tumbling down the walls about his head. A splinter from the fractured beam struck him upon the lead, killing him instantly, just as he had thrown u

olution to be laid upon the table, for it met his cordial approbation. Occupying, as he did, the position of Superintendent of the Arsenal at Harper's Ferry, he was anxious that the people should have all the information it was possible to obtain, relative to movements at that place. He would inform them that every soldier and every piece of ammunition sent there was sent at his suggestion. An investigation of that matter would prove a subject of interest to the people of Virginia. Mr. Borst, of page, advocated the resolution. His people were opposed to coercion, and to the reinforcement and arming of the forts in order that, if Virginia should deem it right and proper to pass an ordinance of secession, the General Government would be in a position to coerce her. They were in favor of a Union that would secure the equality of all the States. Their voice would ever be heard to pray for Union, such as their fathers established, but they were opposed to a Union which did not fu

Mr. Montagur offered a resolution, which was adopted, requesting railroad companies to report to the Convention, as early as practicable, the number of negroes carried over their roads, on route for any Southern States, within the years 1855 and 1861, inclusive, Mr. Tredway, of Pittsylvania, called up his resolution, which was laid on the table on Wednesday last, for the appointment of a select committee to inquire and report as speedily as possible as to whether any movement of arms or men have been made by the General Government to any fort or arsenal in or bordering upon Virginia, in- dicating a preparation for attack or coercion. The resolution was discussed by Messrs. Bar- nour of Jefferson, Borst, Early, Tredway, Jackson, Carlile, Harvie, and Wickham; after which it was put to a vote and passed. Various resolutions in relation to the national crisis were then presented and referred to the Committee on Federal Relations, when the Convention adjourned.
