nsas and Tennessee--Ten Pillars Up! By way of Alexandria, we have the following important news by telegraph: Montgomery, May 7.--The Congress held a short open session to-day. The Ordinance of the Virginia State Convention, uniting the Old Dominion to the Confederate States of America, and the treaty concluded by Commissioner Stephens and the Commissioners of the Virginia Convention, were presented. An Ordinance was adopted ratifying the action of those Commissioners, and recognizing Virginia as one of the Confederate States of America. Hon. J. W. Brockenbrough and Hon. Waller R. Staples, members elect from the State of Virginia, then advanced to the Clerk's desk, and having been sworn in, took seats as members of the Congress. The other Virginia delegates were not present. Arkansas has seceded, and guns are being fired in token of rejoicing at the adding of the tenth star to the constellation. Tennessee has also finally seceded from the Union.
