The last clause would require the services of competent Engineers, and the State had none in her employment. Mr. Richardson said the gentleman had entirely misinterpreted the language of the resolution. It merely sought information from the Adjutant General on the points stated. Mr. Brown, of Preston, thought it was a subject properly belonging to the Legislature, and he was opposed to taking it up. He then moved an adjournment, but withdrew it at the request of Mr. Richardson, who proceeded to correct the misapprehension under which gentlemen labored in respect to the resolution. Mr. Boisseau, of Dinwiddie, renewed the motion to adjourn, but withdrew it. The question was then taken and resulted — ayes 44, noes 28. No quorum voting. On motion of Mr. Burdett, the Convention adjourned.

no guarantees for the recovery of fugitives — no security against the operations of the underground railroad. He alluded to Lincoln's proposition for a National Convention, which he illustrated 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 p

y 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. Cassins M. Clay goes to Spain — a perfect fanatic on the subject of slavery. Cuba would not be acquired by the South under this Administration. The appointment of Mr. Corwin, to Mexico, was better. He expressed a high personal regard for that gentleman. But at the Courts of England and France this Government would be represented by men of Exeter Hall associations, who would go to preach tyrannies against the South.

he aggressive power which had grown up in the North. Majorities are despotic — he had rather be governed by King One than King Numbers. If Virginia was disposed to try further experiments, let her go forth strong-handed, and without timidly. Let her yield not an inch. He wanted the Government of the whole Union, and believed we could acquire it if we pursued a sound policy. A voice was heard from N. Y. last night declaring that Va. held the destinies of the whole Union [He alluded to Mr. Cochrane.] By pursuing a decided, straightforward policy, the majority of the whole people would rally to her, and 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 pr
