nts have kept us so. In the U. S. army we have the greatest military genius of the age — so pronounced by General Scott and all the army officers. I mean Major General Lee. He is a son of Virginia, and will be true to her. At home, in Richmond, you have one of the finest Regiments in the world. Its Colonel has in his veins that Celtic blood which always seeks the hottest front of battle and conquers there. Its General has proved his courage on the plains of Mexico. Moreover, we have Henry A. Wise — a two-edged sword of living fire.--Would to Heaven, he was Governor now.--Yes, we can do a good deal. We can fight. It the Abolitionists are determined to try conclusions at the point of the bayonet, Virginia is prepared to meet them. Our only danger is from treachery in our own camp. More than thirty letters have been received here from the Valley and Northwest Virginia, in regard to a question of taxation to be raised in our State Convention, if we hold one. It is believed,

as infamous beyond the power of language to express. Such a man would not hesitate to murder his own mother, if by so doing he could secure the object of his contemptible ambition. His motive, in the present instance, is as transparent as glass.--He will meet his reward. Virginia's long silence has provoked the condemnation of both Northern and Southern men. A distinguished man, formerly a Senator from one of the Northern States, said to an acquaintance of mine, "We always knew that Virginians were sluggish and low-spirited. Your recent course shows that you can never be aroused until we come down and prick you with the bayonet. John Brown speared you into a momentary wakefulness. You soon sunk back into sleep. Sleep on now, and the first thing you know you'll be squeezed like an orange, until you are perfectly dry." Our members have been tardy in acquainting the people with the imminency of danger — the impossibility of peace. It gives me pleasure to state that the me

More than thirty letters have been received here from the Valley and Northwest Virginia, in regard to a question of taxation to be raised in our State Convention, if we hold one. It is believed, nay, it is virtually known, that these letters owe their origin to the suggestions of high authority. The man who, for selfish purposes, and when civil war is impending, could stir up the embers of an extinct quarrel and divide the house against itself, is denounced as infamous beyond the power of language to express. Such a man would not hesitate to murder his own mother, if b

Doolittle, in his speech in the Senate yesterday, haughtily and insultingly told the Southern Senators that it was idle to talk about amending the Constitution, for they (the Republicans) intended to amend it to suit themselves. This is what Seward is after in his proposition to admit all the Territories at once as States. Kansas, Nebraska, Washington, Idaho, Nevada and Utah will become Northern States, adding twelve to the Republican strength in the Senate. Very soon they will have the two-thirds requisite to amend the Constitution, and reconstruct the Supreme Court according to their own notions. Meantime, the fact of Anderson's holding South Carolina in check, will stiffen the Republican neck. They foresee that Fort Monroe will do as much for Virginia.
