stence. It was not, however, for the purpose of making this announcement that I have deemed it my duty to convoke you at an earlier day that fixed by yourselves for your meeting. The declaration of war made against this Confederacy by Abraham Lincoln, the President of the United States, in his proclamation issued on the fifteenth day of the present month; tendered it necessary in my judgment that you should convene at the earliest practicable moment, to devise the measures necessary for listen with impatience to the suggestion of any constitutional impediment to the exercise of their will; and so utterly have the principles of the Constitution been corrupted in the Northern mind, that in the inaugural address delivered by President Lincoln in March last, he asserts as an axiom, which he plainly deems to be undeniable, that the theory of the Constitution requires that in all cases the majority shall govern; and in another memorable instance, the same Chief Magistrate did not h

s be the subject of privateering. Attention, it is thought, will be given to this at once, and a law passed authorizing the President to issue letters of marque and reprisal. The expedient and necessary measures to be adopted in consequence of Lincoln's proclamation establishing a blockade of all the ports of the Confederate States, and the advisableness of making a formal declaration of war against the Northern States, will meet with prompt and prudent consideration. Its adjournment is not ing made from Washington through third parties, has excited no little indignation here, and, if correct, are regarded as but another deal of the same foul cards upon which Virginia hazarded and almost lost her honor, independence, and safety. Mr. Lincoln will not be prepared to agree to any terms of honorable settlement until his minions shall be thoroughly routed by the gallant army of the South on a few bloody battle-fields, and of course the freemen of Virginia will spurn with contempt any

pt. Charles Druex; the Louisiana Guards, Major Todd; and the Chasseurs-a-Pled, Capt. St. Paul. The Alexandria papers announce the death of the Rev. Neville S. Greenaway, late pastor of the Methodist Protestant Church in this city. An artillery company has been organized at Lexington, under Capt. John McCauseland, an Assistant Professor at the Virginia Military Institute. Hon. Asa Biggs, of North Carolina, forwarded his resignation as a District Judge of the United States, to A. Lincoln, on the 23d April. Lieut. John N. Maffit, late of the U. S. Navy, tenders his services to North Carolina or to the Confederacy. The papers throughout Virginia are pitching into the grocers and provision merchants for their extortionate charges.

outhern train, inquired of officer Crone the way to Harper's Ferry. --The officer thereupon showed them to the First Station-House, where they spent the night. They told the Mayor that they had embarked at some Northern port for a whaling voyage, but after getting out a considerable distance they had landed on a strange coast, and shipped a cargo of Africans, which they had been successful in assisting to convey to Cuba. They had come as far as Norfolk, where their egress being blocked by Lincoln's pirates, they had been advised to come to Richmond, proceed to Harper's Ferry, and thence North to their homes. Most of them came from Boston. They had plenty of doubloons and other coin in their possession. The Mayor said he should not allow them to go to Harper's Ferry for the present. The public safety demanded them to be retained till they could be sent away, which he would take an early occasion of doing. They were ordered to jail, and their money, which had been counted and wra

t matters, and we have gotten so now that we do not believe the telegraph at all, although it may speak the truth sometimes. For instance, yesterday, it was stated that we had the command of Arlington Heights, and this morning it is stated that Lincoln has it, and if that be the case there has, it seems to us, been great neglect somewhere. I very seriously doubt, too, whether there ought not to be greater circumspection on the part of the newspapers in giving such general currency to the rney, and at present District Attorney of the C. S. A. We are all as quiet here as a May morning, and this, the first day of May, is essentially quiet and delightful. And Virginia is to be, so Greeley says, the domain of the vandals of Lincoln breed. --Think of that, you young Virginians — that your lands and homes, and the graves of your fathers and mothers, and everything that you hold dear in this life, is to become the homes and the possessions of the John Browns and the Redpaths,

skets, cutlasses and pistols in the gallery, what becomes of free speech on the floor? Will the treasury be safe? Will Lincoln himself find in his boon companion, Jim Lane, and his band of ruffians, a sufficient protection? It was a fearful e find it task after task of blood and rapine, if they leave it but a short time in repose, it will tear them in pieces. Lincoln has set the first example of invoking force, and the fate of Diomedes may be his, who was devoured by the very horses whut a military despotism, whose life is ever brief and bloody, and its end suicidal. The invocation of military force by Lincoln was a virtual cancellation of the Constitution, and dissolution of the Confederacy. The Constitution was ordained to eso destroy it. The Union was established for the general good of the States; his regiments were designed to carry destruction into half of them. Lincoln has overthrown the Constitution and the Union. His army will in the end make a finish of him.

spatch, April 30, says: The Globe of to-day, in a long and able article on American affairs, says that the North, by their impatience with reference to President Lincoln's policy, ignore the stupendous and delicate task he has before him, and will drive the country to anarchy and chaos. It advocates strengthening Mr. LinMr. Lincoln's hands, and to abstain from perplexing his councils. A committee on "Home Defence" at Pittsburgh, have procured from the U. S. Arsenal, near that city, 2,380 muskets, 882 rifles, and accoutrements, besides over 100 cannon, to be used in the defence of that city. The Gazette says: Captains McNutt and Bremerton, an candidate for the office of Governor of the State of New York, will not be behind-hand. The New York Herald limits what it calls the "defensive attitude" of Lincoln's Administration, to the 5th of May--the "proclamation, " which was dated on the 15th of April, requiring the " combinations" to "disperse and retire within twent

The Warlike intentions of the Administration. We suppose no sane man in Virginia doubts Lincoln's intention to invade this State. If there is one, he labors under an awful delusion. The Navy-Yard at Norfolk, Harper's Ferry, and the city of Richmond, will undoubtedly be the objects of attack. This last, as a great depot of arms and flour, is determined on beyond question. Nothing but the most criminal apathy, which is not likely to be found in this latitude, can render its success possible.

xclude their commerce from the ports of the South; the ruin of which, though if may gratify the passions, would not serve the North. Such a policy of coercion, therefore, would be both short-sighted and ineffectual. The new tariff, for which Mr. Lincoln is not responsible, though he will not be unwilling to accept its consequences, is an unwise measure on the part of those who framed it. * * President Lincoln has the interest of the Union to protect, and Lord Palmerston is bound to defend thoboth short-sighted and ineffectual. The new tariff, for which Mr. Lincoln is not responsible, though he will not be unwilling to accept its consequences, is an unwise measure on the part of those who framed it. * * President Lincoln has the interest of the Union to protect, and Lord Palmerston is bound to defend those of Great Britain; but the former cannot be allowed to blockade our flag out of the Southern ports, or the latter be stimulated to any particular advocacy of Northern ambition.
