wise delay action on the bill. Some weeks ago this House had unanimously passed the bill. What light had since dawned upon his distinguished friend, (Mr. Haymond,) and others, more miraculous than the light that had converted Saul from a slayer to a saint? Was the Legislature now, in the very agonies of this crisis, to persist in the policy of vacillation and delay — to deliberately back down from the purpose of resistance proclaimed to the world one month ago, and, "Like the King of France, with forty thousand men, March up the hill, and then march down again?" When the State was almost destitute of powder, nitre, sulphur, had no cap-machine, neither munitions nor machinery for their manufacture; when your very Metropolis is found to be, in a military sense, nearer to New York than to the heart of your own State, destitute as you are of all coast defences; in view of the fact that this bill would supply these wants, would fortify your coast, and forever close the gates of

considered it utterly inconsistent with his views of personal propriety and public duty to put Virginia in the position of making any new advances for peace, after the failure of what her Representatives had declared to the world was her final effort. As he saw no indication from the North of any movement for restoration, he was bound to regard the permanent dissolution of this Union as inevitable, and would act accordingly. He implored the House not to delay the bill. Mr. Keen, of Pittsylvania, said he believed it was upon his motion this bill was taken up upon its final passage before this House. He should vote for the bill, and against every motion that looked to its defeat, but not for the reasons assigned by the gentlemen from Culpeper or Monroe. As to the question of East and West, which gentlemen had thought proper to introduce, he had only to say, he entered his protest against it. When he came to this body, he came here as a representative of his people, (and he thoug

Mr. Kemper opposed the proposition and hoped the House would stand by the original bill. The Speaker ruled that the proposition of Mr. Haymond was out of order, as the bill could only be amended by way of a ryder. Haymond moved to postpone indefinitely; and the same being opposed by Messrs. Hackley and Anderson, was withdrawn. Mr. Cowan moved to lay the bill on the table. In doing so, he said, year after year I have voted appropriations providing for the defence of the Commonwealth, and when this bill passed this House I was in favor of it--now I am opposed to it.

House of delegates. Thursday, March 14th, 1861. The House was called to order at 11 o'clock, by the Speaker. Prayer by Rev. Geo.Pettigrew, of the Disciples Church. A communication was read from the Senate announcing the passage of a number of bills; among them House bill "authorizing the issue of Treasury notes," with an amendment striking out three words-- "at any period." The bill requires that the Governor shall direct the Auditor of Public Accounts to borrow for the Common wealth of Virginia, from time to time, an amount not exceeding, in the aggregate, at any period, one million of dollars. Mr. Haymond moved to strike out the Senate's amendment, and insert-- "Provided, That no part of the money authorized to be borrowed by this act, shall be borrowed, except so much thereof as may be required to pay the necessary expenses of the Government, except it shall be necessary to repel invasion, or to provide for the defence of the State, when, in the opinio
