olution of the Convention. Wm Ballard Preston, Alex. H. H. Stuart Geo. W. Randolph, The reply of President Lincoln was then read. It was published in this paper yesterday. Mr. Holcombe, of Albemarle, offered the following reit otherwise, he should oppose it. He wished to harmonize and unite Virginia. He was tired of trying moral power on Abraham Lincoln. He regarded his proclamation as a declaration of war and subjugation. If that be so it would be the extreme of folly to discuss that proclamation in open session, for in that case, Lincoln would be speedily informed of it. Mr. Wise rose to make a motion which he thought he had never made more than three times in his life. The open discussion that was now his already lacerated lungs in discussing ultimata --but the time for action had now come Mr. Wise proceeded to discuss Lincoln's policy. There was no doubt about the authenticity of the proclamation, but at all events there was enough of an offic

The Convention to-day. We cannot believe that the Virginia Convention will permit this day to pass without the passage of an Ordinance of Secession. We cannot suppose it possible that they entertain any doubt now as to the purposes of Abraham Lincoln. If a hundred thousand Republicans were marching down Brooke Avenue, the case could not be plainer than it now is. The day for argument has past. He must be willfully blind who closes his eyes and his ears to the drawn sword of the Federal Government and to the shouts of its myrmidons for blood.--The question is no longer one of Union. It is a question of the peace, safety and purity of every fireside in Virginia. In Heaven's name, let the Convention realize the solemn responsibilities of this supreme moment. Let it but scatter party to the winds and unfurl the proud flag of Virginia, and we shall teach the Government at Washington not only that subjugation of the South is impossible, but that we have the means in our hands of

st take a little rest, and I make this letter no longer to-night, only to say, the mails are stopped, the trains are stopped, and so is the telegraph, else I would have given you the news at the first fire. "The Lord reigns, let the people tremble." Virginius. Charleston, April 13, 1861. The proudest day of my life. Too excited, too stated to write you any other than hastily and, I fear, incoherently. Sumter is ours; we have conquered it, not by cheat, deception, a la Lincoln, a la Scott, but by the chivalry, the undaunted courage of South Carolinian. I left you last night at 12 o'clock. Nothing occurred after that hour until daybreak this morning, when our batteries belched forth again their iron contents, almost every shot and shell taking effect. Anderson answered all in a determined style. About 9 o'clock, a shell from Stevens' battery set the fort on fire in the southwest corner. Anderson kept up his fire, although completely enveloped in thick bla

The fleet near Charleston. It is a significant fact that the immense fleet sent by Lincoln to reinforce Fort Sumter, did not dare to approach the scene of action, but left the gallant Anderson to his fate. So much for the inordinate boasting of the Black Republicans about their fleet and its "six thousand fighting men." We are heartily sorry that they did not venture on the fulfillment of their gasconading threats, but left a Southern officer to do all the fighting that has yet been done on their side. Not that we doubt the courage of Northern men, but before this war is ended it will be seen that one man fighting for his home is more than a match for two fighting against it.

Reaction in Alexandria. Alexandria, Va., April 15. --The publication of Lincoln's proclamation has greatly increased the secession feeling here. Business of all kinds is completely suspended, and merchants are engaged in discussing the probability of a prolonged and sanguinary civil war. The impression is that the Virginia Convention will instantaneously pass an Ordinance of Secession or call a Border State Conference.

From New Mexico. --A correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, writing from Santa Fe on March 24th, says: The reading of President Lincoln's inaugural here yesterday, was the occasion of the most intense excitement. It was proposed to take immediate possession of the Government property, which could have easily been done, as there are but fifty soldiers in barracks.--But better counsel prevailed, and now I believe the people are willing to await the action of Missouri, with whom they consider their destinies so interwoven that they must follow her lead.

verse. From the very beginning of these troubles, Abraham Lincoln has shown that of all the secret and reticent men of ten but one man in the present century who has equalled Abraham Lincoln in the combined secretiveness, hypocrisy, and diabolisrer of the nineteenth century the exact counterpart of Abraham Lincoln. This man was so civil in his demeanor that if, by cha calls him, to liken the murderer of a few families to Abraham Lincoln, or any of his Cabinet. Williams may have had the genius of Lincoln, and possibly the thirst for blood; but he never had the opportunity. Here is this man, professing for monthsche upon our unprotected homes and firesides! The man Lincoln, for months, aye, from the moment of his election, has bee hung as rebels and traitors. Such is the programme which Lincoln has been secretly meditating, whilst inducing the friends r the whole Southern race, men, women and children will die, before Abraham Lincoln shall be master of the Southern States.

Important, if true. --Governor Letcher is said to have received yesterday a requisition from Lincoln, issued in pursuance of his proclamation, calling for volunteers to aid him in putting down "combinations" in the South. He wants from the Old Dominion three regiments, of one thousand men each — On the receipt of this exceedingly modest request of the old rail- splitter, the Governor is reported to have said that the people had all along been blaming him for his conservatism, but that noee regiments, of one thousand men each — On the receipt of this exceedingly modest request of the old rail- splitter, the Governor is reported to have said that the people had all along been blaming him for his conservatism, but that now he was prepared to go as far as he who went farthest, in defence of the honor of Virginia, and that he should issue a proclamation forewarning all citizens of Virginia from enlisting in the Federal service for any such purpose as that contemplated by Lincoln

Virginia's Quota. The number of fighting men that Virginia must contribute to the invading army just called out by Lincoln is eight thousand men. The admirers of the "Star Spangled" Government, which is seeking to eclipse in blood and tears some of our brightest orbs, have now a chance to serve their country. Let Abraham send on his recruiting sergeant, with the fife and drum, and we will see what we can do for him.
