could be settled and the Union preserved. He then went on in his peculiar way to discuss the causes which led to the present state of affairs, and said it behooved the people to keep an eye upon the Catilines and Cæsars, North and South. Alluding to the settlement of agitating questions in the past, he said that the men composing the former councils were made of very different stuff from men of these days. Point an empty gun at Secessionists now, they would dodge. They went down to Fortress Monroe, not to see if the guns were loaded, but to see if they were pointed towards the land. Passing rapidly along in his argument, Mr. Rives touched upon the tariff of 1828, and the nullification of South Carolina.--The Union men said then as they said now.--South Carolina, stand back; General Jackson, stand back! They thus acted as mediators, and saved the country. The point he made, as the reporter understood it, was that if wise counsels could prevail, a similar result would follow the

ke up the joint resolution from the House, in relation to the removal of certain guns within the limits of the State, in order that he might offer a substitute. Agreed to. The substitute of Mr. Douglass, among other things, sets forth that. whereas, It has come to the knowledge of the Legislature that a large number of heavy guns, manufactured at Bellona Foundry, near the capital of Virginia, under an order of the Ordnance Department at Washington, D. C., have been ordered to Fortress Monroe, where they can only be needed for the purpose of intimidation and menace to Virginia at present, and of actual hostilities in a certain contingency that may change her future relations to the Federal Government and the non-slaveholding tyranny it represents-- Be it Resolved, by the General Assembly, That the Governor of this Commonwealth be authorized, and he is hereby directed, to order out the Public Guard, and to call for volunteers, if necessary, to arrest the contemplated rem

member of the House, will be read with interest by the public; Washington, March 27, 1861. Dear Sir: On inquiry here, at the Ordnance Department, I learn that the guns at the Bellona Arsenal, about which you write, are, by contract, to be delivered at Rocketts, on board (I believe) of some vessel — to avoid the double expense of landing and re-shipping before being paid for. If seized before this period, the loss would fall wholly on the foundry. The guns are only sent to Fortress Monroe as a safe place of deposit, being as little wanted there, for the defence of that work, as for the defence of Richmond. This subject was yesterday before the Secretary of War, on an inquiry from some quarter unknown to me, and I have not time to learn the character of his reply. The only inquiry in the case results from the founder's want of the contract money. I write as a mere outsider in respect to such matters; for my position, happily, exempts me from the handling of mon

The Legislature. The Senate yesterday passed House bill incorporating the Home Savings Bank of Richmond. The bill creating the county of Bland was passed. A resolution was passed extending the session till the 4th of April, and one was introduced by Mr. Douglas, directing the Governor to summon military aid to arrest the contemplated removal of certain guns from Bellona Foundry to Fortress Monroe, which was laid on the table, in order to consider a bill for the purchase of the arms aforesaid. Adjourned to 7 ½ o'clock. The House adopted a resolution introduced by Col. McCamant, asking information relative to the Penitentiary. The Stay Law bill was called up by Mr. Keen, who made an able address in favor of the bill. The following bills were passed: Authorizing the County Court of Fluvanna county to appropriate certain funds to the uniforming and equipping volunteer companies in said county; incorporating the Rockbridge Insurance Company, and amending the charter of the
