The vote of the Virginia Commissioners was cast as a unit against that section. H by the Southern President, and if so, what were the motives indicated by such a course! Mr. Summers replied, that he cast no reflection upon the motives or the action of the seceded States, howwould reverse the picture and state the objections which he had to it in the Conference. Mr. Summers said he hardly dared attempt a picture which his honorable colleague could to much more succe the people will everywhere come up, saying "well done, thou good and faithful servant."

represented this newspaper. Order was at length restored, and Mr. Pryor went on with his remarks, paying his Petersburg friends a handsome compliment at the outset. The Congressional review was then resumed, and from this he went on to refer to the efforts of Virginia to save the country by inaugurating the Peace Conference, the propositions resulting from which he emphatically repudiated. He complimented Messrs. Seddon and Tyler, and made allusions of a somewhat different nature to Summers and Rives. The "waiting" policy of Virginia was also descanted upon with sarcastic severity, and Lincoln's Inaugural address came in for a sharp criticism.--The "submissionists" of the Virginia Convention were rebuked by the speaker in scathing terms. He accused them of political intrigues, and said that after bargaining away the country they were gambling for the spoils. He denounced the suggestion of a border State Conference, and paid a glowing tribute to the Southern Confederacy, its

n could two reports constitute one. Mr. Conrad took a different view of the subject, and quoted from the language of the reports, to show that the last was but an appendage to the first. After some further remarks from Mr. Wise, Mr. Summers, of Kanawha, said that he thought, since the gentleman from Harrison was absent, the vote should not be taken now, though he did not feel at liberty to move that the Committee rise. He regarded the report of the committee as an improvement upad by the Secretary. Mr. Wise said that he was satisfied that it was the Peace Conference propositions, without any change. The debate was then continued in a some what conversational manner, pretty well spiced with humor, by Messrs.

nce Virginia has so overwhelmingly passed the Ordinance of Secession, he is in favor of standing by her to the bitter end. Late as such citizens are in taking this stand, it is nevertheless a gratifying fact that the great body of those in the West who voted against the Ordinance will most assuredly occupy this ground, after the result of Thursday's vote is known. Mource and Alleghany are almost unanimous. Kanawha, it is rumored, has given a majority against the Ordinance. I fear Summers is very disloyal, and poor old Dr. Patrick, who seems to see nothing straight that relates to the issues of the day, is said to have exerted all his influence against the Ordinance. Still, I will bet on Kanawha. She will not join Carlile, the traitor, who ought to be arrested and brought to justice.
