John B. Floyd writes a letter to the Richmond Enquirer, in reply to one from the editors of that paper. He thinks the time has passed when "the counsels of any one can arrest the precipitate currents of events or avert the result which an exasperated and excited public feeling has rendered inevitable." The agitation of the slavery question, which has been so long and wantonly persisted in by Northern men has produced the sectional alienation which is about to find its natural result in the destruction of a Confederacy that was voluntary in its origin, and can only be perpetuated by the voluntary assent of its meeral Constitution, and that, in the meantime, Virginia should use all her influence to calm the exasperated feelings of the country, and to prevent, if possible, a hostile collision in any quarter or from any cause. With high regard, I am, very truly, your obedient servant, John B. Floyd. Nat. Tyler, Esq., Richmond, Va.
