Appointment of Commissioners for Consultation.--Mr. Patterson offered the following resolutions, which, after being read, were, on motion, referred to the Committee on Federal Relations: Resolved, by the Senate and House of Delegates. That Ro. M. T. Hunter, Wm. C. Rives, John J. Alien, and Geo. W. Summers, be and are hereby appointed Commissioners to open a correspondence with the Governments of all the States, to ascertain on what terms. If upon any, the present Union can be preserved; and if it cannot, then upon what terms and with what States a new Confederacy can be formed, which will secure to the people of Virginia the full enjoyment of all their rights; and that they be required to report the result of their proceedings to the Con

essions, we should be willing to see them met in a spirit at least equally conciliatory; but while the South chooses to speak through such organs as Messrs. Toombs and Davis, and to propose such extravagant and impossible conditions as those of Mr. Hunter, we feel that the occasion demands that the response of the North be characterized by other qualifies than those evinced in Governor Seward's speech. The New York World thinks Mr. Seward has fallen short of the high duty before him. --Afte not alone in this city, but in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, (as it was in type there and published in whole or part after the telegraph announced its delivery,) during Saturday night, yesterday, and this morning.

establishing a school of military science in connection with the University of Virginia. A petition was presented from Appomattox County Court, for authority to borrow money to purchase arms; also, the resolves of a meeting in Wythe county, in which they say that they regard the occupancy of Harper's Ferry by the Federal Government as an act of aggression upon Southern rights and a standing menace to the people of Virginia. A resolution was likewise offered for the appointment of R. M. T. Hunter, Wm. C. Rives, J. J. Allen and G. W. Summers as Commissioners on the part of Virginia to open a correspondence with the Governors of the several States, to ascertain upon what terms the Union can be preserved; and if it cannot be, with what States a new Confederacy can be formed that will secure to Virginia the full enjoyment of her rights.

The South is the weaker part, has never been able to commit aggressions upon the North, even if she had the disposition, and has had no interest which could inspire her with such a disposition. The South has made compromise after compromise, and is now continually proffering the olive branch; but instead of a cordial and whole-souled acceptance, it is met by the temporizing policy of the Republicans. The South has statesmen--Crittenden, Hunter, Rives, Benjamin, and others; but, as Professor Bledsoe says in one of his lectures, "You might as well read the riot act to a thunder storm as address reason and argument to Abolitionism."
