ld be adopted upon which the whole South would be willing to stand. He then went on to reply to the argument of the gentleman from Augusta in regard to protection and free trade. The advantages of a separation from the Government of the United States were next pointed out. Under the system of legislation that prevailed, it would be impossible for Virginia to become what the God of Nature designed she should become. In the event of a resumption of her sovereign powers, and a union with thlative to the action of the Committee being final upon the subject before it, he intimated his purpose to make an appeal to the Convention at the proper time. Mr. Hall, or Wetzel, made some remarks touching upon the Constitution of the Confederate States, which he regarded as the best the world ever saw. He hoped it would be presented to the North as Virginia's ultimatum. The report of the Peace Conference, proposed by the gentleman from Harrison, he regarded as a cheat and a fraud. M

ession of the Southern States would produce only temporary inconvenience to our people — no fundamental change could occur without this result, we had all the elements of unbounded prosperity — a chance of getting their best men, besides more territory.--A contrast favorable to Southern advantages was presented. A "Border Confederacy" was deprecated. There was no conflict of interest between the Border and Cotton States. The slave trade had been prohibited by the Constitution of the Confederate States. The Southern States could harmonize together.--The Creator had made the negro inferior to the white man — he had made a place and created him to fill it. At the South, white men were on an equality with each other; not so at the North. When an inferior race comes in contact with a superior race, there are only three solutions of the problem of government: amalgamation, extermination, or subordination — all of which had found an illustration in this continent.

The Confederate States' loan. --The Atlanta Confederacy learns that a distinguished politician of the North went on to Montgomery last week with offers for the whole of the fifteen million loan at par, the bid being made by English capitalists.

Among the passengers were three gentlemen of leisure, who went from here in her for the express purpose of "seeing with their own eyes and hearing with their own ears" the great commotion of the fire-eaters. They state that when they went to a hotel they booked their names "of Boston," and upon every occasion when they were introduced to distinguished citizens, they invariably spoke of themselves as Bostonians, yet their reception was all that they could have desired. They were not dogged as they had reason to apprehend from the tenor of the news received here, nor did any one ask them impertinent questions. There was plenty of soldiering, marching and countermarching, but they saw no rowdyism. Politicians spoke freely to them about the affairs of the country, but expressed no regret about secession; on the contrary, the people seemed determined to have nothing more to do with the United States.

In Manchester the proposed increase of duties on cotton goods in the United States is causing great attention-- in Newcastle it is considered that it will be impossible to do business with the United States on the terms set out in the Tariff, while the business with the Southern States is described as satisfactory.

From Washington. Washington, March 31.--The Commissioners of the Confederate States now here, feel no uneasiness in regard to the evacuation of Fort Sumter or the reinforcement of Fort Pickens, being fully satisfied in regard to both points, and are aiming to achieve a peaceful solution of the difficulties by a speedy withdrawal of troops from the Federal limits within the Confederacy.
