the motion to lay on the table was carried in the affirmative. Personal Explanation. Mr. Early, of Franklin, (Mr. Carlile having yielded the floor for that purpose,) proceeded to correct some portion of his remarks, on yesterday, as reportee to the amendment of Mr. Leake to the resolution of instructions offered on Tuesday by Mr. Cox, of Chesterfield. Mr. Carlile, of Harrison, being entitled to the floor, proceeded with his remarks. The crisis was one requiring the patriotic effed against and denounced the "wicked attempt" to commit Virginia to an overthrow of the best Government on earth. Mr. Carlile spoke over two hours, and we have given but an outline of his remarks. Mr. Cox, of Chesterfield, desired that a vrison. That gentleman had said this resolution was prepared in advance of the appearance of Lincoln's Inaugural. Mr. Carlile disclaimed any reference to Mr. Cox's original resolution; he had alluded solely to the amendments. He further discla

Popular demonstration. --The popular feeling was considerably stirred up by Mr. Carlile's speech in the Convention yesterday; and as he emerged from the hall, in company with a lady, there was something of a demonstration in the crowd around the doors, which we pronounce reprehensible under such circumstances. After he passed on, the outside discussion ran pretty high, and the Union was split up and reconstructed several times in the course of a half hour.

The Convention. A resolution was offered yesterday, by Mr. Brown, of Preston, looking to financial arrangements in the possible event of a war. It was laid on the table. Mr. Clark, of Nelson, offered an anti-coercion resolution, which was referred to Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Carlile made a long speech on the pending resolutions to instruct the committee, in which he declared against the constitutionality of secession, held that the Government had a right to collect the revenue in the seceded States, and endorsed Lincoln's Inaugural Address, in the pacific tone of which he was "agreeably disappointed." Mr. Cox, of Chesterfield, made a brief reply, after which, on motion of Mr. Brent, of Alexandria, the Convention adjourned, without having made the slightest progress in the disposal of the questions before it.

artest" men in the Convention. --Some of us, who don't often get counted in among the privileged listeners to the fossilogy of the State Convention, have to depend mainly upon outside discussions for the means of forming a judgment of the mental calibre of its members. But unfortunately, in this respect, public opinion differs widely. One party will swear by Ex-Gov. Wise and Mr. Goode, of Bedford, another by Messrs. Goggin and Flournoy, and another still by Messrs. Clemens, Willey and Carlile; while the boys, who, in these days, are not bad judges of smartness, go in for Mr. Branch, of Petersburg, "because he makes them laugh." With such a contrariety of opinion, we, as outsiders, find ourselves at sea on this most important question; so we may have to take a practical view of it. The interminable debates, which have lasted nearly three weeks, without effecting any purpose beyond stirring up the passions of the multitude, show plainly enough that the Commonwealth lays at the mer

n the other. [Applause.]-- She stood at the head of the Macedonian phalanx of the Border States; and in reply to the question, Where should Virginia go? he would say, go neither North nor South, but with them. He thought if the Union was broken up there would be several Confederacies. His fortunes were with Virginia, and he would sink or swim with her; but he had no idea of her being dragged into any new connection without consideration. His closing remarks looked to a consolidation of the Border States, and eventual reconstruction of the Union upon a basis by them adopted. He thought the secession leaders would gladly avail themselves of any decent pretext to come back. Hon. George W. Summers was then called upon, but declined making a speech. Tim Rives, Esq., was making an appeal for the Union when we left the house. We understand that Marmaduke Johnson, Esq., subsequently addressed the meeting, which adjourned about 11 o'clock, with three cheers for Mr. Carlile.

g for the resolution, passed yesterday, of thanks to that patriot and statesman, John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky. If it were in order, he would ask that his name might be now recorded in the affirmative. A similar application was made by Mr. Carlile, of Harrison, through a letter to the President of the Convention, which was read by the Secretary. Mr. Carlile being confined to his room by a severe rheumatic attack. The requests were granted. The Peace Conference propositions. Mr. Carlile being confined to his room by a severe rheumatic attack. The requests were granted. The Peace Conference propositions. The President.--The pending question is upon a motion to refer the Peace Conference propositions to the Committee on Federal Relations; and upon that question the gentleman from Kanawha, Mr. Summers, is entitled to the floor. Mr. Summers resumed his rmarks, commencing with the fifth article of the Peace Conference propositions, where he left off yesterday, and proceeded to express his views thereon. The vote of the Virginia Commissioners was cast as a unit against that section. He allud

Mr. Carlileasked him to withdraw his motion. He desired to occupy the attention of the Committee for a short time on a different subject, in presenting an amendment to thet of the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Preston insisted on his motion, which was agreed to; whereupon the Committee rose and reported progress.

The Convention. Mr. Holcombe's great speech, in behalf of the South, was the feature of the proceedings yesterday. Some resolutions on National questions were referred to the committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Carlile indicated his intention of offering an amendment to the Committee's report, which, we learn, embodies the Frankly Substitute entire. The Henrico secession resolutions were presented by Mr. Wickman, who defined his position, intimating that he would adhere to the side of the Union. The tax question was up, and Mr. Haymond finished his speech. The Convention adjourned, pending a motion to lay Mr. Willey's resolutions on the table. The number of spectators in attendance yesterday was very large.

ndolph, of Richmond.--As it is apparent that the gentleman from Augusta would prefer to suspend his remarks until tomorrow, I move that the Committee rise. Mr. Carlile, of Harrison.--I hope the gentleman will withdraw that motion for a few moments, and I will renew it. The gentleman from Augusta will of course retain the floor. I desire to offer a substitute for the whole report of the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. Randolph withdrew the motion, and Mr. Carlile offered the following substitute, which was referred to the Committee of the Whole: Whereas, the Peace Conference, which was called by the Legislature of this State, and in whiched to the Committee, in regard to the reception of amendments, and answered some interrogatories propounded by Mr. Harvie, touching the mode of proceeding. Mr. Carlile then addressed the Committee in support of his substitute, advocating the Peace Conference propositions as an acceptable basis of adjustment. He opposed the su

onstitution, making some essential changes therein, which was referred to the Committee of the Whole. The resolutions in respect to an ad calorem. tax upon negroes were up again, Mr. Goode having withdrawn his motion to lay on the table. No action was taken in Committee of the Whole. Mr. Holcombe finished his speech, which produced an "irrepressible" display of enthusiasm in the Hall and an order to "clear the gallery" was very near being carried into effect. The "floor," however, happened to be more culpable than the gallery this time. Mr. Baldwin, one of the most eloquent speakers in the body, on the Union side, commenced a speech, which he will continue to-day. Mr. Carlile offered the Peace conference plan of adjustment, as a substitute for the report of the Committee on General Relations, supporting it in a brief speech. He takes ground against a Beaver State Conference. A very large number of spectators were in attendance yesterday — the ladies predominates as usual.
