The traitors in Council.
Wheeling,May 13.--The city has been wild with excitement all day. The Federal flag is flying from all the principal buildings in town.
The Convention [of traitors] met at 11 o'clock; and after appointing a Committee on Credentials, adjourned till 3 P. M.

Permanent officers were appointed, and a Committee on State and Federal Relations.
A discussion took place between Gen. John J. Jackson, of Wood, and John S. Carlile.

The Convention adjourned until to-morrow.
The ceremony of hoisting the National flag over the Custom-House was imposing.
Thousands of people gathered about the building.
National airs were sung, and speeches made by Carlile and others.
