Rev. Mr. Bosserman, of the Universalist Church. The resolution of Mr. Price, of Greenbrier, restricting debate to ten minutes on any one subject, being in order, Mr. Wise moved a call of the roll to ascertain if there was a quorum in attendance. Most of the members answered to their names. Mr. Price briefly advocated his resolution. The President stated that he had received a communication from the Governor of the Common wealth, enclosing a dispatch from Gov. Pickens, of South Carolina, which was read by the Secretary. It announces the commencement of hostilities, and says that no harm had thus far been done to the works of the Confederated army, but great damage had been done to Fort Sumter. Mr. Wise commented briefly upon the intelligence, closing with the expression of a hope that the "terrapin" (meaning the Union men) "would begin to crawl, now that the fire was applied to his back." The hour of half-past 10 having arrived, Mr. Southall was called to the

ht, morally and socially, is so far above the would-be oppressors, that the deadly hatred they bear us in the offspring of envy. Lincoln would doubtless return to his den in Washington or Springfield, happy, if he could only vent his gall on South Carolina. But we throw hot, hissing, blazing defiance in his unmanly face, and defy him and the whole pack of cowardly curs. He may, by brute force, annoy — aye, injure us greatly; but as for conquering, he, nor all his minions, shall never conquer South Carolina. But, twelve or twenty-four hours will tell the tale. That traitor Anderson shall be dragged out the stronghold which he stole in by night, as did his master into Sodom, before to-morrow's sun goes down. Gen.Beauregard has unconditionally demanded of Anderson the surrender of the fort, but no time is set by Gen. B. for its evacuation; but I have it from high authority, if it is not done by to-morrow, operations will commence. No appearance of the fleet yet, but they ar

ed, and they retraced their weary way home ward. The preparations for defence, under the eye of this anxious multitude, added not a little to the feeling under which they had left their homes. There, on the green grass of White Point Garden, stood the white tents of the Citadel Cadets, gleaming in the mellow light of the stars. And the manful forms of the brave young soldiers were seen about the cannon, which, had they been called to shot and sight, would have reduced the number of South Carolina's foes. A report from the sea intensified the universal excitement. Late in the afternoon one of our pilots reached the city and stated that he had seen a steamer off the bar, which he was confident was the Harriet Lane. The vessel stood towards him, but as he did not desire to give any information he kept on his course. It was confidently believed that before the day was passed, the booming of cannon would be heard, when another fact was communicated from mouth to mouth. At

n resolution (for the limitation of tribute,) had precedence over any other business. Mr. Wysor asked the privilege of having his paper read, which was done as follows: Whereas, Official information has reached this Convention that hostilities have actually commenced in she harbor of Charleston, S. C., brought on by attempts on the port of the Federal Executive at Washington to supply provisions and reinforcements to Fort Sumter, a fortification within the jurisdiction of the State of South Carolina, by force of arms: Therefore, Resolved, That it be recommended to the people of Virginia to unite, at once, in defence of their institutions, their rights and their liberties, and to make common cause with their brethren of the Confederate States, thus most unjustly assailed, in a war of self-defence. The President decided that the preamble and resolution could not be — received, unless the execution of the special order were suspended. On motion of Mr. Price, the Con

en extensively circulated in some parts of Virginia, that the capitation tax on the negro in South Carolina is $16. This statement is but a specimen of a class of misrepresentations put afloat among the people. The real fact is that the expenses of South Carolina are, upon her present war footing, less than those of Virginia. Even during the present year of extraordinary outlay, they will not exreal fact is, that her tax on slaves is one dollar twenty-six cents a head.

Details of the attack upon Fort Sumter.the Fort a Mass of ruins. Charleston, April 13. --Hostilities for the present have ceased, and the victory belongs to South Carolina. With the display of the flag of truce upon Fort Sumter at half-past 1 o'clock, the firing ceased, and an unconditional surrender was made. The Carolinian had no idea that the fight was at an end so soon. After the flag staff was shot away, Col. Wigfall, aid to Gen. Beauregard, went to Fort Sumter with a white flag to offer assistance in extinguishing the flames. He approached the burning fortress from Morris' Island, and while the firing raged on all side, effected a landing. He approached a porthole and was met by Maj. Anderson, who said he had just displayed a white flag, but the firing from the Carolina batteries was kept up nevertheless. Col. Wigfall replied that Maj. Anderson must haul down the Federal flag; that no parley would be granted; "surrender or fight" was the word. Anderson then haule

useless to attempt coercion. This is the universal opinion of the whole people of the North, and has been over and over again proclaimed by the Tribune, North American, and other leading journals of their party. --There never was a moment, since Lincoln's election, when the only chance of peace did not lie in the immediate secession of all the Southern States. If they had all gone out at once, and commenced military preparations for defence, with the foresight, energy, and system which South Carolina has adopted, who believes that the remaining States would have dreamed of attempting coercion? But, instead of this, the people of Virginia have been lulled to the verge of ruin by a syren song,--that Union with the North would prevent war, and now Lincoln has thrown off the mask, struck a bloody blow at the heart of the South, and is gathering his abolition forces at Washington to threaten our own peaceful shores. We do not believe that any statesman of the Old Dominion has willfully

Proclamation of President Lincoln.Seventy-five thousand troops called out.extra session of Congress. Washington, April 14. --The President will to-morrow morning issue the following: By the President of the United States: A proclamation. Whereas, the laws of the United States have been for some time past, and now are, opposed, and the execution, thereof obstructed, in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the Marshals by law. Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, in virtue of the powers in me vested by the Constitution and the laws, have thought at to call forth, and hereby do call forth, the militia of the several States of the Union, to the aggregate number of 75,000, in order to suppress said combinations, and to cause the laws to be duly executed.
