order was the election of A Sergeant-at-arms. Mr. Macfarland, of Richmond, said he had a proposition to make in reference to the appointment of the officers necessary to complete the organization, which would greatly facilitate the business. With this view, he submitted a resolution, devolving their appointment upon the President of the Convention. The President hoped the resolution would be withdrawn, as he was unprepared to make suitable selections. Mr. Montague, of Middlesex, moved, as an amendment to the resolution, that a committee of fifteen be appointed for the purpose of selecting the officers named. On motion of Mr. Patrick, of Kanawha, the resolution and amendment were laid on the table. The Convention then proceeded to the election of Sergeant-at-Arms. Mr. Niglett, of Lurenburg, nominated Wm. C. Snead, of that county. Mr. Johnston, of Lee, nominated Charles E. Crosby, of Washington. Mr. Willey, of Monongalia, nominated Josiah W

s upon its general appearance, or, to come closer to the subject, the personal advantages or disadvantages of the members, as distinguished from the material. As an outsider, we had thought the State Convention was a rather good-looking assemblage, comparing favorably with any legislative body of modern times in that respect. It is fair to say, however, that there is an honest difference of opinion, and the question may have to be submitted to the decision of the ladies.--Mr. Montague, of Middlesex, alluding on Wednesday to one of the candidates for the Clerkship, whose good looks had been spoken of among the qualifications for the position, jocosely remarked that if this particular advantage had been taken into consideration by the people, but few of the members present would have been sent to occupy seats in the Convention! We differ with the Lieutenant-Governor on this point, and we thought the ladies in the gallery seemed inclined to call him to order. The Convention seems to p

I communicate, also, herewith the credentials of the HonUnited States of America." I communicate, also, herewith the credentials of the Hon. Fulton Anderson, a Commissioner duly appointed by the Governor of Mississippi, and charged with the duty of informing the people of this Commonwealth that the Legislature of the State of Mississippi has passed an act calling a Convention of the people of the State, to consider the present threatening relations of the Northern and Southern sections of the United States--aggravated by the recent election of a President upon principles of hostility to the States of the South--and to express the earnest hope of the State of Mississippi that Virginia will co-operate with her in the adoption of efficient measures for the common defence and safety of the South.

esident had been elected, and the war power, both offensive and defensive, was invested in the hands of the Government, to which South Carolina, of right belongs hence this State would take no step in the matter, except to prevent reinforcements, or repel sudden attack. It is now thought that our Government will send Envoys to Washington immediately, as it will to other foreign nations, demanding to be recognized as an independent nation; and also to treat with the Government of the United States for all forts, arsenals and public buildings situated within the territory of the Southern Republic, and then, if they are not all given up for a fair and honorable compensation, they must be, they will be, taken at all hazards. You will see that the Provisional Congress propose to admit all imports at a very low duty — at most, ten per cent, and possibly less — fare, if possible. This low duty, vs. your present high tariff, and the full expectation that your National Government wi

The Confederated Congress. Montgomery,Feb. 13.--Vice-President Stephens presented a model flag and the model of a device for the seal of the Confederacy. Referred. Mr. Brooks offered a resolution that the Committee, in selecting a flag and seal, be instructed to adopt and report a flag as similar as possible to the flag of the United States, making only such changes as may be necessary to distinguish easily one from the other, and adopt an arrangement by which the stripes shall number the States of the Confederacy. Mr. Brooks accompanied his resolution with some felicitous remarks, in the course of which, referring to the "Stars and Stripes," he said that flag is an idol of the heart, around which cluster memories of the past which time cannot efface or cause to grow dim. Mr. Miles opposed the resolution. He said he had regarded from his youth the Stars and Stripes as an emblem of oppression and tyranny. The debate grew interesting, and, at the suggestion of

olis speech of Mr. Lincoln is everywhere understood as clearly indicating his purpose to enforce the execution of the United States laws throughout the boundaries of every State which has adopted an ordinance of secession from the Union; which, of cight to enforce its laws and protect its property, even if it becomes necessary to hang or shoot every traitor in the United States to do it. We want them to concede that it is the duty of this Government to retake from Southern traitors its stolen senals, etc. We want them to concede that Abraham Lincoln, having been constitutionally elected President of the United States of America, has a right to take his seat without any opposition from any quarter whatever; and that it armed opposition is coercing a State to enforce the national revenue laws? Will it be coercing South Carolina to take possession of the United States Custom-House, armory, and other property belonging to the Federal Government? Is it coercing a State to abolish Post
