his gathering on the Constitutional Convention of 1788, which assembled in the city of Richmond in June of that year. The Convention held its first sittings in what was known as the Old Capitol, a wooden building situated at the southwest corner of Cary and Fourteenth Streets. This building was erected in 1780 for the temporary use of the government until the building on Capitol Hill was completed. In 1855 the Old Capitol was torn down and the stores known as Pearl Block were erected by Hugh W. Fry on its site. The Convention later held its sessions in the New Academy on Shockoe Hill. This building stood on the square bounded by Broad and Marshall and Twelfth and Thirteenth Street, where Monumental Church now stands. The scope of your resolution, as I understand it, embraced brief mention of some of the distinguished members of the Convention, questions debated, interesting incidents, and some of the characteristics of the personnel of this august body. In my judgment, no more i

Union meeting. --In pursuance of a notice in the papers, that addresses would be delivered by the "Union" candidates for the State Convention, Metropolitan Hall was densely crowded on Saturday night by parties anxious to hear an expression of the views of the candidates in question. Hugh W. Fry, Sr., Esq., was called to the chair. The meeting, though large, was orderly in every respect, and was addressed, in the order named, by Messrs. Jno. H. Gilmer, Marmaduke Johnson, John M. Botts, and Wm. H. Macfarland, All of the candidates avowed their attachment to the Union if it could be preserved on fair terms. Mr. Botts' entree was the signal for a vigorous welcome. His address was the longest, and strongly characterized by, anti-secession sentiments. At a late hour the gathering adjourned. The meeting was quite enthusiastic, and every expression of attachment to the Federal Union was applauded.

The Wise Brigade. --At our last advices from the nucleus of Gen. Wise's Brigade, it was at Gauley Bridge, Kanawha county, and consisted of about 4,000 men. We are gratified in being able to state that John H. Richardson, Esq., a volunteer officer of great experience, has been commissioned as Col. of the 1st Regiment of Infantry in the Brigade. Hugh W. Fry, Jr., who has served with Col. R., has also received the appointment of Major in the same regiment. The appointment of Col. R. is good evidence that Gen. Wise, in forming his Brigade intends to be governed alone in the selection of officers by the possession on their part of that skill without which it is vain to attempt to beat back our savage enemies.--Col. Richardson leaves for his post on Saturday.

ise is reported badly wounded, and Lieutenants Fred. Carter and Charles P. Bigger, are taken prisoners, with, it is presumed, a majority of the men. The Jackson Guard, and the Light Guard, both attached to the Legion, were enlisted here after the commencement of the war; Capt. Hiram B, Dickinson of the former, and Capt. Gus. Wallace, of the latter, reported captured by the enemy, are well known citizens of Richmond. Lieut. Miller, of the Jackson Guard, is said to be mortally wounded. Major Hugh W. Fry, who is among the prisoners, has many friends here, who regret his misfortune, but who are proud to believe that he sustained himself gallantly in the fight, and the same remark applies to Frank Johnston, of the Blues, as brave a young man as ever shouldered a musket. The telegraph informs us that our killed and wounded amounts to 300, while that of the enemy reaches 1,000. The reader will find some further particulars of the affair in our Norfolk letters, from which it appears t

n prisoner. The Light Guard and Jackson Guard, of this city, lost very few in killed or wounded. It is believed that neither Capt. Wallace nor Capt. Dickinson is wounded, though both are prisoners with their companies. One of the Blues had his gun shot from his hand. He coolly picked it up, and finding the barrel slightly bent, repaired to the nearest tree and straightened it; then again took his place and had the satisfaction of firing several more shots at the enemy. Major Hugh W. Fry. with his battalion, arrived upon the ground too late to participate in the action, and was ordered to surrender with the others. Col. Green's regiment arrived in time to fire one volley before surrendering. Captain Coles, of Charlottesville with his company, was in the hottest of the fight. As one of his men fell, he took his musket and fired fourteen rounds, exhibiting the most determined bravery, when he was shot through the body and killed. Major Selden, of Norfolk, fought

Coyner's white sulphur springs. --We understand that this well-known watering place, in Roanoke county, a short distance above Lynchburg, was sold at public auction last week, and purchased by Hugh W.

There are three of four different kinds of water, the white and black sulphur, the chalybiate and freestone water, &c. It was owned by the late Fleming James, of Hanover.
