Deane Courtney in Command. There were also a number of Richmond College students in this division, and young men generally. About five hundred small boys gave their services and completed the detail.

y seldom witnesses such an imposing assemblage. Very little business was transacted in Court. The condition of the county was the absorbing topic of conversation.-- But one sentiment pervaded the masses, and that was a sentiment of loyalty to the Constitution, but of firm, unyielding resistance to Republican tyranny. Several gentlemen addressed a tremendous meeting in the Court-House, taking decided ground in favor of putting Virginia immediately out of the Union.-- Among these were Tucker Carrington and Thos. F. Geode, who are the only candidates for the Convention in Mecklenburg. I forbear to express any opinion as to the merits of the rival candidates, inasmuch as the election, now so close at hand, will soon decide between them. Edward Townes, a wealthy and influential citizen, living near this place, died a few days since. A man, who has been living in Clarkesville a short time, gave utterance to sentiments rather Northern, a day or so back, and was knocked down by

Clarksville, Mecklenburg co., May 21, 1861. The County Court yesterday appropriated $35,000 for arming and equipping the volunteers. In this appropriation provision is made for the Cavalry, Capt. Goode, now at Ashland; for the Clarksville Blues, Capt. Finley, and Chambliss Grays, Capt. Baskervill, both of which have their rendezvous at Richmond; also for five additional companies. There are four now forming. Capt. Tucker Carrington is raising a company on this side of the Roanoke, Mr. T. T. Boswell one on Bluestone, Mr. Oliver one in the neighborhood of the city, and Col. William Townes, jr., one in the neighborhood of Boydton. All of them, I believe, have the legal number, and will organize at once. Mecklenburg is thoroughly aroused, and will furnish more than her quota of men and money. A servant of Thomas B. Wall, of this county, insisted so much on going with Capt. Finley's company, that his master consented for him to go. He was told that his clothes were

on, addressed to our representatives in Congress, calling upon them to urge the passage of a bill to mount and equip the cavalry, and make that branch of the service more efficient. The resolution was ordered to be laid over under the rules. Mr. Hutchinson introduced a joint resolution to encourage the production of supplies, and recommending the repeal of all laws now upon the statute books in relation to impressments. The resolution lies over under the rules. The Committee on Propositions and Grievances reported adversely to the resolution of Mr. Hall, of Wetzel, in relation to the opening of Capitol Square gates. The bill for the relief of Tucker Carrington, of Mecklenburg, to allow him eighteen hundred dollars for a slave hung by sentence of the court, in addition to one thousand dollars already appropriated, was taken up and lost, not a constitutional majority voting in favor of the bill. The House, after the disposition of some other business, adjourned.

A bill amending the act relative to jailors' fees. The special joint committee on the purchase of Bruce's life-size painting of General Robert E. Lee, for a State portrait, reported, and the report was laid upon the table. Mr. Miller, of Russell, offered a resolution relative to bringing about a parole of all prisoners held on either side, leaving the question of exchange to be hereafter determined, and especially to secure the parole of the Sixty-fourth Virginia regiment, now held at Camp Douglas and Johnson's island, which resolution was adopted. The following bills were passed: A bill for the relief of Tucker Carrington, of Mecklenburg. A bill for the relief of L. W. Macon, late sheriff of Albemarle county.

rs in the army. Mr. Hall, of Wetzel, opposed a precipitate adjournment; it would have a bad effect. Then the discovery of the little mistake in the estimate of the Confederate Secretary of War of over three millions of dollars, now due, necessitates a tax of one hundred per cent. above all other taxes, and the States would be called upon to bear their proportionate part. The resolution to fix the day of adjournment sine die was lost — ayes, 50; noes, 58. The bill to pay Tucker Carrington an additional sum of money for a slave condemned and executed by process of law was put upon its passage and lost — ayes, 72; noes, 34 --not a constitutional majority. The vote was reconsidered and the bill laid upon the table. The bill amending the act authorizing branch banks, in certain cases, to receive deposits due banks within the enemy's lines was passed. Also, the bill amending and re-enacting an act to authorize the county courts to change the place of holding their

Bullock, of Fluvanna county, for a slave condemned to death, and hung by a mob, appropriating two thousand dollars. Bill for the relief of Tucker Carrington, of Mecklenburg county, appropriating one thousand dollars. Bill to pay Captain James T. Smith for his services as a partisan ranger. The House refused to take up and consider the bill appropriating sixty-five thousand dollars for the purchase of the life-size portrait of General R. E. Lee, painted by Mr. Bruce, and tendered to the State. Mr. Ward, of Frederick, asked the suspension of the rules in order that the bill might be taken up and considered, but the House refus
