He began by establishing the right of a "sovereign" State to withdraw from the Union when the terms of the contract were broken, arguing that all those States which had made laws obstructing the action of the Fugitive Slave law had already nullified the bond of union. He advised a convention of all the Gulf States, to the end that after a separate State withdrawal, a new Union might be formed, and a Southern Republic. He stated that the border States would not immediately secede, but would act as a bulwark to those further South, and that they had bound themselves to permit no Federal army to cross their territory. He stated, furthermore, that the present

on requesting the Governor to furnish the number of arms, their character, description and price, purchased under the act of the last Legislature, and also what other arms, etc, are under his control. Mr. Jamison moved an amendment, requesting information as to the number of companies of soldiers whose offers of service have been accepted, and for what purpose they were accepted. The amendment was accepted. The information called for is to be communicated in secret session. Mr. Yancey moved a further amendment, asking information in relation to the ordnance and munitions owned by the State; the extent of the Federal property within her limits, and what arms were found at Mt. Vernon Arsenal and Fort Morgan. The resolution of Mr. Jamison, so amended, was then adopted. Mr. Coleman offered a resolution pledging all the powers of that State to resist any attempt by the Federal Government to coerce any seceding State. A discussion ensued, pending which the Conv

will make the eighteenth piece. The soldiers have already given them some odd names, such as "Pretty Boy," "Peace Maker," " Conscience Settler," "Secession Pill Machine," etc. From a prisoner I obtained the following particulars concerning the First Virginia Regiment of Cavalry, which was engaged in the action at Hainesville: Loudoun County Cavalry, fifty men, Capt, Carter; Rockingham County Cavalry, sixty men, Captain White, three other companies from counties unknown, commanded by Capt.

n the Moniteur, in which Napoleon foreshadows the recognition of the rebel Confederacy as an independent Power. It is interpreted by our Paris correspondent exactly in the sense in which we read the translation received by the Etna, and the writer adds that it would have been embodied in a diplomatic circular addressed by M. Thouvenel to the French Ministers at Foreign Courts, as illustrating to them the exact position of his Majesty the Emperor towards Italy and America. Messrs. Mann, Yancey and Rost, the rebel Commissioners, were in Paris. They reported that Great Britain would soon recognize the rebel Government, but the statement was not very generally credited, although it was believed both in Paris and London that the British Cabinet were very anxious to do so, if its chief members had a plausible excuse. Captain Russell, who was commissioned by Napoleon to report to him on the performance of the Great Eastern during her late trip to and from New York, was also in Par

Cincinnati of numerous killings and captures of our forces by the Yankees in the Kanawha country. The "decisive movement" spoken of by the writer seems to have been made, as the enemy's telegraph from Cincinnati, of the 27th, says that "Col. Taylor's command, on the Kanawha, was badly defeated by the Confederates a few days ago." The envelope of the letter referred to is ornamented with several gibbets, with men suspended by the neck Isabelle "Davis," "Beauregard," "Toombs," "Floyd, " "Yancey," "Twiggs," "Rhett &Co." Reports from the Potomac. Passengers by the Central train yesterday reported that fighting was going on the previous day in the neighborhood of Annandale, Fairfax county, and that fifty of the enemy were killed and six taken prisoners. The loss on the Southern side was not stated; but as our troops had passed Annandale at the latest accounts, and were between Shuter's Hill and Arlington Heights, the probability is that the enemy suffered a decided repulse.

I had expected to have gone with them, having with others nearly made up a party for the charter and purchase of a vessel, which was to be freighted with clothing, blankets, shoes, rubber goods, etc., for our brave fellows on the field. The Ordnance Agents of the Confederate Government seem to be actively engaged in sending arms and munitions forward, but very wisely pursue the strictest secrecy in their movements. Their doors, as well as those of Col. Mann and Mr. Yancey, are watched, and their very steps dogged, and not a man can call upon either without having himself photographed by pen and ink for the edification of the powers that "remain" in Washington. General public opinion here is very favorable to us. Every interest of John Bull induces him to side with us in the contest. His keen trade instincts have long since snuffed up the fact, that in the altered condition of matters in America, a Southern demand for sixty or seventy million pounds st
