tees of safety or security, and was not worthy of acceptance. Mr. Seddon next addressed the throng. He gave the report of the Peace Conference a most thorough sifting, and denounced it as a delusion and a sham — an insult and an offence to the South. Yet he thought if the Commissioners had been more strongly backed up by public sentiment at home — had there been exhibited a positive determination to have ample security for the future or secede at once — Virginia could have got all she wanted. Neither of the distinguished gentlemen entered into a full exposition of their views, choosing, properly, to reserve them for a more appropriate occasion. There were loud calls for Ex-Gov. Wise, but he did not make his appearance. Lieut. Gov. Montague was called out, and made a strong secession speech. The band next proceeded to the Spotswood Hotel, where another serenade was given, and speeches were made by Messrs. Sheffey of Smythe Morton, of Orange, and perhaps oth

Sheffey, Esq., of Smythe, one of the ablest and most influential members of the Convention.

or the purpose of trying Mr. Duncan, who about a year ago killed Mr. G. W. Raine, his father-in-law. As neither side were ready, by mutual application of the parties, the trial was postponed. After Court was adjourned, Judge Fulton and James W. Sheffey, Esq., of Smyth county, by invitation, addressed the people who were present. Judge Fulton stated that he had seized upon the cars a bag of inflammatory Union documents sent out to the people of Northwestern Virginia, and had had them burne! never!" That reply he said, did him good to hear. He said if there was one man in the house who intended to vote for remaining under Lincoln's Government, he wanted to see him. Not one such spoke. The Judge was glad to find none here. Mr. Sheffey spoke at length upon the present crisis. He called upon the people to vote for the Ordinance of Secession, and spoke in the highest terms of President Davis, (whom, he said, was a second Washington,) Vice President Stephens, and the Southern
