He was therefore in favor of giving immediate publicity to the proceedings of this body, that the public mind might not be kept in suspense as to the course to be pursued by Virginia in this crisis. He hoped the moral influence of the Convention would be exerted upon the powers at Washington, to restrain them from further pursuing their present policy. Mr. Caperton, of Monroe, said that doubts had been expressed as to the authenticity of the proclamation which had given rise to this discussion. He thought it might be proper, therefore, to have more time. His own mind was made up; but with a view to the removal of all doubt, he moved that the Convention do now adjourn. Mr. Holcombe requested him to withdraw it for a moment, and he would renew it.--This having been done, Mr. Holcombe explained the motive which prompted him to make a motion to g

The new Rifle company, organized yesterday, now awaits equipments and arms. They desire active service. A Home Guard is being organized. Troops have been drilling day and night for many days, to secure the greatest efficiency in time for the call of the Governor. Messrs. Price, Caperton, et als., addressed the citizens of the county, assembled enmasse at the Court-House on yesterday. They strongly urged sustaining Virginia in her late action. At the conclusion of the addresses the vote was taken on the question, "Shall Greenbrier vote for the Ordinance of Secession?" There was but one voice manifested in the tremendous response of assent. The Superior Court, Judge Hudson presiding, is in session. One or two important criminal cases came up for trial. The prosp

Mr. Caperton, of Monroe, obtained the floor, but gave way to Mr. Keen, who desired to make a personal explanation. Mr. Keen coxplanation, by some remarks in opposition to the amendment to his amendment, offered by Mr. Duckwall, and gave way to Mr. Caperton.

State and Federal Relations.--The Joint Committee on State and Federal Relations presented the following report, which, on motion of Mr. Caperton, was laid on the table and ordered to be printed: Whereas, it is the deliberate opinion of the General Assembly of Virginia, that unless the unhappy controversy, which now divides the States of this Confederacy, shall be satisfactorily adjusted, a dissolution of the Union is inevitable; and the General Assembly, representing the wishes of the people of the Commonwealth, is desirous of employing every reasonable means to avert so dire a calamity, and determined to make a final effort
