The only communication he had received from South Carolina was a dispatch in reply to an effort for the preservation of peace. His correspondence was all with the North. He delighted to correspond with such noble mem until millions would not tell the amount. The exchanges of the world are regulated by cotton. And was all this to be thrown away because some thought that South Carolina had acted badly?

Mr. Neblett, of Lunenburg, presented a series of resolutions adopted by the citizens of his county, favoring immediate secession, opposing a Border State Convention, and repudiating the Peace Conference propositions. Mr. Kent, of Wythe, presented the proceedings of a meeting held in that county, with resolutions in favor of an immediate withdrawal of Virginia from the Union, and against the consideration of any subjects by the Convention not appertaining to National affairs.

d then the sceptre becomes theirs. He wanted the Convention to take sufficient time, and complete the work thoroughly, but not to be too slow, for the people were moving. Let Virginia act for herself — let her name her ultimatum — demand ample and full protection — and send it to the Border slave States, and to all the free States, telling them that if they cannot adopt the course proposed, Virginia cannot stay with them.--He had no tears of a division of sentiment between Eastern and Western Virginia. It was in the West that the men of former days stood and battled for their rights of domain. and the patriotic motive existed there still. He alluded to the policy of the Administration as having been put forth insidiously to entrap the border slave States. The foreign appointments were sufficient to show the course of the future.

ated by the couplet of the spider and the fly. If Virginia got into such a Convention, she would never get out again. It would not do for Virginia to told her arms in slumber — she must do something. The probable evacuation of Fort Sumter was here touched upon, and he spoke of his efforts with President Buchanan in that direction. He thought the proceeding commendable in Lincoln, even though the necessity was forced upon him. He wished that the same policy might be pursued in regard to Fort Pickens, and that the Southern Confederacy might be recognized, in order to save the fragments of the Union. But events portended that something else was in contemplation, and it would not do for Virginia to rest idly under a delusion. All eyes were now turned towards her. If chicanery or cajolery were practiced, it would be well for her to look to it with suspicion; if it were found necessary to increase the garrison at Fortress Monroe, it would be well for her to look to it, and prepare for a

There was, it is true, a formidable battery of words; and if we could believe all we hear, there were men not a hundred miles from Richmond who could eat half a dozen Yankees for breakfast, take Harper's Ferry and Fortress Monroe during the same day, and bring back the keys of those positions by supper time.
