The sum of $500 has been subscribed in Monroe county, Va., to arm the military. Col. Braxton Bragg, of a "little more grape" celebrity, and Capt. J. K. Duncan and J. M. Taylor have been selected by the Governor of Louisiana as his aids-de-camp. The Louisiana Legislature has instructed its delegates in Congress to retire. The theatrical corps at the Varieties theatre, in New Orleans, has formed itself into a military company. Jno. E. Owens is Captain; George Jordan, 1st Lieutenant; and Mark Smith, 2d Lieutenant. A. H.

way the offenders began to slide down stairs in double quick time. It is stated that a pistol was fired in the melee, and that one individual's head was shoved through a window; but nobody was seriously hurt, and the gallery was soon occupied by the attacking party.--After this episode, the meeting proceeded without interruption. Mr. Steger then resumed and concluded his speech. Mr. J. Randolph Tucker responded for Judge Robertson, who was absent from the city on a mission to South Carolina. The meeting was subsequently addressed by Messrs. Wm. F. Watson, O. Jennings Wise and Jas. R. Crenshaw. The following preamble and resolution, prepared by Mr. Purcell, were offered by Mr. Wise, and adopted by acclamation: Whereas, The Legislature of Virginia has formally declared that any act of coercion, directed against a Southern State, will be regarded by Virginia as act of war, and immediately resisted with all the means in our power: Be it Resolved, That the attention

South Carolina Items. --Another "Combohee planter" has presented the State of South Carolina $20,000 for its service. The Charleston Courier thus notices the act passed by the Legislature for raising supplies for the year commencing 1861: The entire amount proposed to be raised is about $1,800,000.

The amount necessary to meet the pressing demands of the State, about $850,000, is provided for by direct taxation. Treasury notes and bills receivable in amounts of $50, $100 and $500 for about $700,000, are to be issued, bearing interest at the rate of seven per cent.

tes have appointed Commissioners to meet those of Virginia, in council. When assembled, they will constitute a body entitled, in an eminent degree, to the confidence of the country. The Federal Assembly of Virginia have also resolved, "That Ex-President Tyler is hereby appointed, by the concurrent vote of each branch of the General Assembly, a Commissioner to the President of the United States, and Judge John Robertson is hereby appointed, by a like vote, a Commissioner to the State of South Carolina and all other seceding States that have seceded, or shall secede, with instructions to respectfully request the President of the United States and the authorities of such States to agree to abstain, pending the proceedings contemplated by the action of this General Assembly, from any and all acts calculated to produce a collision of arms between the States and the Government of the United States." However strong may be my desire to enter into such an agreement, I am convinced t

making a large debt, when probably all the public debts would shortly be apportioned among the States, and that Virginia would not be held chargeable with any of the sum now appropriated. The motion was lost Pending the subject, the Senate Adjourned House--The House resumed the consideration of the report of the Committee of Thirty-Three. Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, agreed with Mr. Pryor, that no compromise can be effected, and cited the news of yesterday from South Carolina to show it. The Southern States could not be turned from their deliberate action by soft words or tears. He opposed the right of secession. Mr. Harris, of Md., denied the constitutionality of the right of secession. He expressed the belief that not a corporal's guard in Maryland favored disunion. Faults had been committed on both sides, but Southern politicians fostered disunion, as affording a new sphere for their defeated ambition in the Union. He favored Crittenden's resoluti

Suspicious craft off South Carolina. Charleston, Jan. 29. --The papers this morning say a large war steamer was seen off the harbor Saturday at dark. She showed signals and stood to southward. It is surmised that she is still hovering about the neighboring coast. Last night a negro came to the city and informed his master that a suspicious craft was seen near Church Flat Stone. There were 20 men on board, but without arms or uniforms. They are thought to be about to pounce down on the plantations. The Legislature adjourned last night sine die.

The difficulties that Beset us. Six States have seceded from the American Union. This is a fact that can neither be ignored nor forgotten. It is a custom of some tacticians to vent their spleen against South Carolina, and to call down public reprobation on that State. Her acts are her own, and for them she is responsible. We apprehend she is not afraid of the responsibility. But she is only one-sixth in the list of seceding States.--She does not stand for them all, nor all for her, as respects her local policy. They all, however, stand toward her as does Virginia: i. e., they will resist coercion of any Southern State by the Federal Government. Should no settlement of our national troubles be effected by the 4th of March, and the South be not united, the seceding States will in all human probability be attacked, and then, according to resolutions of all except Missouri, Maryland and Delaware, the whole Southern sisterhood of States will be involved in a general war. Wh

Early in the Field. --The Apalachicola (Fla.) Times of the 16th inst., comes to us with the names of the Hon. William L. Yancey, of Alabama, and Hon. James H. Hammond, of South Carolina, at its head, as candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the "Southern Confederacy."

South Carolina to Virginia. The reply of South Carolina to Virginia, published in yesterday's Dispatch , is characterized by great dignity, courtesy, and determination. They who suppose that State is not in earnest, have no knowledge of the character of her people. They are not the hot-headed, vaporing race which it suits South Carolina to Virginia, published in yesterday's Dispatch , is characterized by great dignity, courtesy, and determination. They who suppose that State is not in earnest, have no knowledge of the character of her people. They are not the hot-headed, vaporing race which it suits the purpose of abolition editors and letter-writers to represent them. From the beginning of these difficulties, the addresses of their public functionaries, their speeches and debates, have all been characterized by that plainness, directness, and freedom from all exaggeration and hyperbole which show a people who are in earnestties, the addresses of their public functionaries, their speeches and debates, have all been characterized by that plainness, directness, and freedom from all exaggeration and hyperbole which show a people who are in earnest. The courteous and conclusive answer to Virginia adds a new wreath to the heroic brow of South Carolina.

The Revenue cutter laid up at New Orleans. New Orleans, Jan. 29. --Secretary Dix has directed the Collector at New Orleans to have no more money expended on the revenue cutter Washington, now hauled up for repairs, until he can have the assurance that she will not be seized, as soon as she is refitted, by the secessionists. Col.Hayne, of S. C., says he has made a demand on the Federal authorities for the surrender of Fort Sumter.
