od required a full and unreserved disclosure, and if the request was respectfully made, a respectful answer would be returned. He had no idea, however, of dictating to the President of the United States the policy that he ought to pursue. Mr. Conrad, of Frederick, intended to vote for the resolutions in some form. He did not believe that the Administration contemplated any coercive policy towards the seceded States; but thought the answer would be such as to produce a soothing effect upon the country.--He differed with the mover of the resolutions in respect to the method of addressing the President, and read a substitute which he (Mr. Conrad) proposed to offer. Mr. Scott, of Fauquier, heartily concurred in the object which the gentleman from Montgomery (Mr. Preston) had in view. He could not believe that the President would hesitate, if approached respectfully, to give a full and frank response to the interrogatories. But whether he did or not, Mr. S. was in favor of the

to show the character of those who were engaged in getting up these sensation dispatches. He then read the whole extract, showing that a special meeting of the Cabinet was called to receive an important communication from a delegation of the Virginia Convention, and to consider a letter from Governor Letcher, insisting upon a peace policy, &c., &c. Mr. Harvie produced in connection therewith a dispatch in the Philadelphia Inquirer of the same date, giving the names of the "delegation"--Messrs. Chand, ler, Segar and Botts. He then read a dispatch just received from Washington, in these words': "All Southern men, and many others in Washington, consider war imminent. The only question is where the blow shall fall." Mr. Carlile replied, relieving himself from any charge that he had a special purpose to conceal any portion of the dispatch. He did not believe there was any truth in it. Brief speeches were made by Messrs. Baylor of Augusta, and Hall of Wetzel--Mr. Montague hav

Resolved, That a committee of three delegates be appointed by this Convention to wait upon the President of the United States, present to him this preamble and resolution, and respectfully ask of him to communicate to this Convention the policy which the authorities of the Federal Government intend to pursue in regard to the Confederate States. Mr. Stuart, of Augusta, approved of the patriotic motive of the mover of the preamble and resolution, but opposed their adoption in their prepectfully made, a respectful answer would be returned. He had no idea, however, of dictating to the President of the United States the policy that he ought to pursue. Mr. Conrad, of Frederick, intended to vote for the resolutions in some form.ttain the object in view. It was to authorize the President of the Convention to communicate to the President of the United States the wishes of this body. Mr. Flournoy, of Halifax, was surprised at the opposition which the resolutions of the

He asked, why would the President evacuate Fort Sumter, for instance, and occupy the Tortugas and Fort Pickens? If this question were asked him, he would say, perhaps, that one was an inland fort, while the others were necessary to the free navigation of the Gulf and the Mississippi river, and were therefore as national. In what relation does that put Virginia? She stands, with her Fortress Monroe, in the same position that Florida stands towards the Tortugas. We were directly involved in this question. He hoped that any resolution here passed would not only express the desire that the President's policy should be pacific, but also institute such inquiries as might enable Virginia to judge for herself of the nature of his policy. Mr. Rives, of Prince George, opposed any proposition which contemplated the sending of Commissioners to Washington. Gentlemen had predicted what

The communication from Arkansas asks information as to what action Virginia has taken, or proposes to take, in reference to the proposition to hold a Border Slave State Conference, at Frankfort, Ky., or elsewhere, during the coming spring or summer. This information is sought with a view to guide the action of the Commissioners or Delegates elected by the Convention of Arkansas to said Conference, should one be held. The communication also encloses a series of resolutions and an ordinance adopted by the Convention of Arkansas. Laid on the table and ordered to be printed. Unfinished business.

obbies will be cleared the moment that applause is repeated. Mr. Staples.--The applause came from the floor. The President.--From the lobbies and floor both. Mr. Scott went on to declare his belief that the President contemplated a peace policy.--He did not think the resolutions were at all disrespectful; he would even be willing to make use of stronger language — to let the President know that upon his response depended the action of this Convention. Mr. Randolph, of Richmond City, argued that we had a right to know whether the military expedition, now fitting out at New York, was intended to operate against the Spaniards or against the seceded States. Virginia treasure contributed to the support of the Federal forces, and some of her most gallant sons were among those forces. She had therefore a right to make a respectful demand upon the President for this information. We know that there are numerous natives of Virginia in all branches of the service, and they

In offering an ordinance of secession. he had thrown the responsibility upon the majority who voted it down, and he was now prepared for any proposition that met his individual sanction. He would vote for the resolutions, but opposed anything that contemplated a humiliating or crouching attitude. He was satisfied that Virginia would, sooner or later, go with the Southern States. Mr. Holladay, of Portsmouth, explained his position. He had originally favored the proposition, but the course of argument here to-day had led him to doubt the propriety of making any such movement as the resolutions contemplated. He was opposed to anything that looked to more than a respectful request to the President to indicate his policy. He was solicitous that the information should be obtained, but entirely repudiated any such course as had been suggested by gentlemen this morning. The plan presented by the

Mr. Carlile replied, relieving himself from any charge that he had a special purpose to conceal any portion of the dispatch. He did not believe there was any truth in it. Brief speeches were made by Messrs. Baylor of Augusta, and Hall of Wetzel--Mr. Montague having meantime raised a point of order as to the debate now going on, which the Chair overruled. Mr. Carter, of Loudoun, said he was authorized to state that there was no truth in the report recently alluded to here, of a correspondence between the Governor of this Commonwealth and the President. He then moved an adjournment, but withdrew it at the request of Mr. Macfarland, who desired to make a correction of the journal. The motion to adjourn was renewed by Mr. Macfarland, and voted down. On motion of Mr. Morton, the Convention took a recess till 5 o'clock, P. M.

Mr. Stuart, of Augusta, approved of the patriotic motive of the mover of the preamble and resolution, but opposed theiurse as had been suggested by gentlemen this morning. The plan presented by the gentleman from Augusta (Mr. Stuart) met his views, as calculated to attain the object in view. It was to authorize themanded, at the proper time, as much as he should deprecate the necessity. Mr. Baldwin, of Augusta, said that in offering the amendment which was accepted by the gentleman from Montgomery, he dithe question were discussed, when he would be happy to go into the ring with the gentleman from Augusta.
