onstruction of a Government with the slave States. [the reporter was unable to obtain a copy of the resolutions.] Mr. Marye addressed the Convention in opposition to coercion, and read resolutions expressive of his convictions. He wished the Convention to take a decided stand on this question, as an answer to the Inaugural, showing that when what had there been declared should be acted on, Virginia would also act. The following are the resolutions read by Mr. Marye. Whereas, Abraham Lincoln has announced, in his Inaugural Address, that he regards the Union is still unbroken, and that he feels constrained, by the obligations of his office, to assert the jurisdiction of the Federal Government within the seceded States: be it Resolved, by this Convention, that Virginia will resist any attempt by the Federal arm to coerce those States, and that she will regard the collection of revenue and the recapture of forts within the limits of such States, as coercive measures.

If I were to predict, that in sixty days the city of Washington would be razed so that a plough-share should be run over the place where now Lincoln nervously rests, and that magnificent monument of former greatness, the Capitol, would be blown sky-high. I might not in such a prediction be a false prophet. I, like many a Southern man, have a few cents invested in another monument begun year. Goggin beginning to feel that he is in danger.

Some say he is for war, others for peace — no two men seem to view it alike. I have read it over and over again, and, for the life of me, I cannot make it out. It is very much like a I

Affairs at the Southern Capital. The Montgomery papers contain brief comments on the Inaugural of Mr. Lincoln, which they publish almost in full. The Advertiser says: It commences by an insulting allusion to what is deemed the unreasonable conduct of the seceding States--it says that the Union is unbroken, and the laws must be enforced, and it means--War, War, and nothing less than war, will satisfy the Abolition chief. And if blood, nothing but blood, Mr. Lincoln will have, why, then, in God's name, trusting to that Providence that has never yet withheld a protecting hand from the cause of right and of justice, relying for human aid upon the bweeks. And though he has buttered both sides of the bread, sugar is sprinkled upon one and powder gently sifted on the other.--Upon the vital question at issue, Mr. Lincoln is explicit, and that is that the Union is unbroken in fact, that it is his duty to hold the public property and collect the revenue, and that he will enforce t

The first reception of President Lincoln. --The first reception of President Lincoln took plaPresident Lincoln took place Friday night, during which (two hours) it is estimated that "Old Abe" shook hands with 3,000 perrn the ropes." At the President's right was Mr. Lincoln's urbane private secretary, Mr. J. S. Nicolay. Yet further to the right stood Mrs. Lincoln, and in her vicinity were the ladies of her party, relatives and others, Mrs. Lincoln seconded her husband to very good purpose in giving a cordial, smarty, and for their benefit we may say that Mr. Lincoln was dressed in black, with white gloves, tuxuriant black hair parted down the middle. Mrs. Lincoln wore a rich bright crimson watered silk, wiand red camelias. --Mrs. Edwards (sister of Mrs. Lincoln) wore a brown satin brocale dress, with ricand white feathers. Miss Edwards (niece of Mrs. Lincoln) was dressed in a fine, embroidered, needleerbena head-dress. Mrs. Grimsley (cousin to Mrs. Lincoln) was dressed in a blue, embroidered silk, w[2 more...]

hing-Will-Turn-Up fraternity, blown down by the gale on Saturday morning. They regard it as ominous, and look upon it as an indication that Providence disapproves Secession. We have lately heard a good deal of signs. Viewed in a common-sense light, we should regard the falling of the pole as a sign that the pole was not strong enough for such a wind. But if omens are to be the rule, what was it a sign of when the United States flag raised on the Federal Capitol at the Inauguration of Lincoln, was blown into two distinct sections, and had to be lowered and another flag substituted in its place? We concede, however, that this blowing down of the Secession pole in the "Creek Nation" was the most significant event of the kind, and the most easily interpreted, we have ever known. The flag was raised on a Union pole, and, as a matter of course, the first gale from South Carolina blew it to fragments, teaching plainly enough that any attempt to combine State-Rights and the Union can

A large black flag of "mourning," for the delay of Virginia in "going out," was found suspended across the Main street of Fredericksburg, Va., on Friday morning. It bore a suitable inscription. It is said that Judge Douglas will act as a mediator between the Southern Commissioners and President Lincoln. A Southern Confederacy flag was raised in Petersburg, Va., Friday, with a blank place among the stars for Virginia. The Massachusetts Senate has passed the act modifying the Personal Liberty law of that State.

ed in the political feelings of the people. Many of those who clung most tenaciously to the Union and its revered associations have become so disgusted with the continued hostile measures of the Republican leaders, and the coercive policy which Lincoln intimates, that they have reluctantly abandoned their late position, and now help to swell the ranks of the Secessionists. In this connection I may be allowed to note two facts as somewhat remarkable--first, that the ladies have entered the are In this respect, the other companies have shown a commendable liberality. The regular annual meeting of the Library Association was held last night. It adjourned without any action. Politics are too much in the ascendant for literature to flourish. There is a rumor afloat, that a worthy citizen of Petersburg has applied to President Lincoln for the Post-Office, "If convenient;" but if the present efficient incumbent does not resign, he will not probably be removed.

treasury and deprive it of all resources; for, without the current revenue from customs, loans and treasury notes could not be forced upon the market at any price. Thus far no attempt has been made by the General Government to interfere with the collection and appropriation of duties by the seceding States. "Mr. Buchanan," adds the writer, "was afraid to take the responsibility of confronting that issue, and he ignored his duty by a base and unworthy surrender to the disunionists. But Mr. Lincoln cannot escape it if he would. He is compelled either to collect the revenue or to abdicate office. One or other of these alternatives is inevitable, and it is hardly probable he will accept the latter." "Independent" then proceeds to say that though the bill giving power to President to call out volunteers was lost in the expiring hours of the session, " it is held that the act of 1795 sufficiently provides that authority, which was never disputed until Judge Black's opinion was giv
