Mr. Thornton, of Prince Edward, moved to amend Mr. Scott's amendment by striking out all Congress for the formation of a permanent Constitution of Government." Mr. Thornton urged that a Constitution formed by the Border States, as contended for by t of this Common wealth. The West has interests that must be consulted. Mr. Thornton deprecated the constant appeal to sections on this floor. He claimed the whers from two of the States came here to ask it. The vote was taken, and Mr. Thornton's amendment defeated, as follows: Yeas.--Messrs, Ambler, Jas.

Thus the prolonged contest on this subject of taxation has at last resulted in the passage of this resolution: Resolved, That a committee of thirteen be appointed to inquire into the expediency of so amending the 22d and 23d sections of Article. IV. of the Constitution of Virginia as to provide that taxation shall be equal and uniform throughout the Commonwealth, and that all property shall be taxed in proportion to its value.

e. Mr. Tyler urged the necessity of checks in the National legislation, in order to secure protection for the minority. Mr. Summers, of Kanawha, replied, referring to Mr. Calhoun's idea of a dual government among his objections. Mr. Thornton, of Prince Edward, offered the following as an addition to Mr. Tyler's amendment: "Nor shall any treaty be made unless the votes of a majority of the senators from each class of States hereinbefore mentioned be cast on a part of the two-tthe votes of a majority of the Senators from each class of States hereinbefore mentioned be cast as a part of the two-thirds majority necessary to the passage of such bill, order, resolution or vote" Mr. Tyler accepted the amendment. Mr. Thornton advocated the adoption of the amended substitute. A division of the question being demanded, the vote was taken, and the Committee refused to strike out the 2d section--yeas 44, nays 69.

ess of events since clearly demonstrates that I missed the figure by nearly half. There are already four volunteer companies organized, and each is being daily augmented by recruits from every section of the county.--Other companies are organizing with surprising rapidity. One, scarcely a week old, numbers sixty, rank and file, and applications for membership are pouring in. The militia, which has been greatly reduced by the volunteer companies, is drilling at Bowling Green, under Col. Thornton; and we may confidently expect it to be fully qualified for service in a very short time, so skillful is the management. The Greys, now numbering seventy odd, were presented by the ladies with a magnificent flag, 72x36 inches, on Saturday last. F. W. Scott, Esq., delivered the presentation speech, and it was an effort well worthy of the occasion. Capt. R. O. Peatross responded. His speech was eloquent and chaste, and elicited burets of applause from his company and the by

From Orange county we have the following narrative of the antecedents of Commander Thornton A. Jenkins, one of the volunteers in the work of destroying the Navy-Yard at Gosport: He is a native of Orange county, and of the most obscure origin, his grandfather having been whipped for stealing, and his father guilty of a social crime of too gross a nature to mention. Thornton being an only child, and a sprightly boy, his teacher took an interest in him, and encouraged him to learn, and as he grew up he withdrew himself from his family, and the neighbors, in connection with the influence of Mr. Madison, obtained a Midshipman's commission for him, and sent him forth in the hope that in despite of his early disadvantages he might do honor to his native place. His recent incendiary exploit proves that first principles are most durable, and doubtless he would be wil
