al from Washington brings intelligence of the increase of the standing army there, under the miserable pretext that citizens of Virginia and Maryland contemplate a raid upon the Federal capital. Does not every citizen of Richmond know that, as far as he is concerned, this is not true? General Scorr himself was unable to produce the proof of the monstrous fable which we suspect Seward & Co. have concocted and instilled into his credulous ear. That high-minded gentleman and true Virginian, Gov. Wise, is uniformly referred to as the instigator and leader of this conspiracy, when the fact is that he is confined at home, himself not well, and watching the bedside of a sick member of his family. And now, upon the strength of these malignant libels, and even whilst Virginia is sending a Peace Commissioner to Washington, company after company of Federal troops is marched into the capital; Harper's Ferry is guarded by regular soldiers; Fort Washington, on the Potomac, is stealthily reinforc

athers! Virginians asking rights of Yankees! and that, too, at a time when Yankee guns are pointed at your breasts! I have attentively read the remarks of Mr. Wise in the Convention, and, for my life, I cannot see what he is aiming at. He says he is opposed to secession, and intends to fight in the Union. We do not comprehend Mr. Wise. I have been asked a hundred times what Mr. Wise means, and I cannot give an answer. He certainly does not mean a "rough, roll and tumble fight" with the Black Republicans corporeally, does he? I should like to put two questions to your Convention, and to have a plain, direct answer to them. The questions woulMr. Wise means, and I cannot give an answer. He certainly does not mean a "rough, roll and tumble fight" with the Black Republicans corporeally, does he? I should like to put two questions to your Convention, and to have a plain, direct answer to them. The questions would be these, (supposing Virginia to remain attached to the old Union) Do you recognize the right of a State to secede? If so, then, suppose the Lincoln administration should attempt to retake the forts and arsenals, or to collect revenues, and a fight takes place between it and the people of the seceding States, would Virginia sta

ressed in strong Southern State- rights speeches by John Goode, of Bedford, and Wm. F. Gordon, Jr., of Albemarle. Both gentlemen said, no matter what the Convention did, the people of Virginia would go with the South. Cries were made for Goggin, Wise, Morton, and Montague. An announcement was made that Gov. Wise was too much indisposed to speak, and a motion was carried to adjourn to the Spotswood House. On passing the American Hotel sundry groans were given for Mr. Moore. At the SpotswooGov. Wise was too much indisposed to speak, and a motion was carried to adjourn to the Spotswood House. On passing the American Hotel sundry groans were given for Mr. Moore. At the Spotswood House, Col. Dickinson, of Prince Edward, apologized for the absence of Hon. J. Morton. Col. D. said he strongly sympathized with the feeling which had induced the meeting to assemble. Soon the expression of public sentiment, and the direction of public legislation, would have to be shaped by the people. He alluded to Mr. Moore's speech, and symptoms of disapprobation were given.

ulcer, eating away the vitals of the country, and unless we used the knife or the caustic, rooted out the evil, and settled the question forever, it would result in utter ruin. The agitation must be stopped and stopped forever. Turning to Mr. Wise, he expressed his utmost approbation of his course in repelling the invaders of the soil of Virginia. Speaking of the visit of the South Carolina and Mississippi Commissioners, after that occasion, and the disappointment of their hopes, he saids of the North. With regard to the difficulty of transit alluded to, in case Virginia went with the South, he believed that Fortress Monroe and the Rip Raps would belong to Virginia. He would rally under the lead of the gentleman near him (Mr. Wise,) and pluck the plume from the brow of the Lieutenant General.--He anticipated none of the difficulties spoken of by others. He again urged the necessity of secession.--Where were the interests of Virginia in a Northern Confederacy, when fo
