Senator from Maryland, has issued a long appeal against secession. Harriet Beecher Stowe terms the present invasion of the South by Lincoln, the "Holy War."

he two Houses are thus at variance. The Senate refuses to adopt Mr. Wallis' resolution or fix a day for the adjournment, unless the House adopt the Senate resolution and appoint eight commissioners, as above mentioned. In the House of Delegates, Mr. Wallis reported a bill calling a Sovereign Convention, which was laid on the table. The joint resolution from the Senate appointing a committee of four from each House to visit President Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, and the Governors of Pennsylvania and Virginia, was reported upon unfavorably by Mr. Willis, chairman of the Committee on Federal Relations, giving certain reasons therefore. The report was adopted. They also report that the invasion of Maryland, and the capture of produce by the Virginia troops, has been disapproved of by Governor Letcher in a letter to Governor Hicks, who has issued orders forbidding the recurrence of such acts. The report was adopted, and the papers ordered to be forwarded to Mr. Harvey, Commiss

Cochran, Req.--I have received yours of the 10th inst., and I concur very fully in your views as to the importance of presenting an undivided front at the Out hope now is in making ready for the b that is in us. The Union is gone fore we may as well admit the fact and so with it. I am so b I have only time to say that I have written a letter to a gentleman in Pennsylvania, a copy of which I send you, and which you may have published in the newspapers. John B. Baldwin. In great haste, yours truly, Col. Baldwin's letter to G. B. Manley, Esq. Richmond, Va., May 10, 1861. Dear Sir: I have received your letter and hasten to reply in the same spirit of kindness which, I doubt not, prompted you to write. 1st. As to the popular vote, on the Ordinance of Secession. There is not a shadow of doubt as to the ratification of the Ordinance by a vote which, for unanimity, has no

e day of election. Keep it before the People, that Thursday next is the day of voting on the Ordinance of Secession. It is asserted that on, or immediately before that day, the Lincoln Administration will invade Virginia at three points, and possibly more, for the purpose of creating a huge uproar, causing the whole population to fly to arms, and thus omitting, in the excitement, this important duty of voting, whilst Carlile and other traitors of his stamp, reinforced by men from Pennsylvania and Ohio, who will have no right to vote, will throw a heavy vote into the ballot-boxes, and thus avail themselves of the suicidal impression of most people, that there is no use in going through the empty formality of voting. We invoke the country press of Virginia to place the patriotic people of the State upon their guard. As the chosen people of old rebuilt their temple, armed with the tools of the artisan and the weapons of the warrior, so let Virginia rebuild the majestic stru

arrested at Camp Curtin on Friday, on suspicion of being a spy. He was handed over to the civil authorities, and had a hearing before Mayor Kepner. His statement was that he is a miller by trade, from Pomeroy, Ohio, but for some time past has been working in Orange county, Va., which place he left because he would not serve in the military or take the test oath. He was twice arrested before he got out of Virginia. His intention was to go from here to visit an uncle in Cumberland county, but while here he had partially made up his mind to enlist. On the way from camp to the city on Saturday he informed persons that every person in Virginia was enlisting, and that the troops of Pennsylvania would have a stronger enemy to contend against than they had any idea of. For these remarks he was placed under military arrest. At the suggestion of District Attorney Herr, he took the oath of allegiance, and was permitted to depart with a certificate to that effect.--Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot.
