Virginia State Convention.thirty-seventh day. Thursday, March 28, 1861. The Convention assembled at 10 o'clock.--Prayer by the Rev. Mr. Willis, of the Baptist Church. Voice of the people. Mr. Carell, of Nelson, presented a series of resolutions adopted by the citizens of that county, in favor of immediate secession. Referred to the Committee on Federal Relations. Equality of taxation. The Convention proceeded, in the order of business, to consider the resolutions of the gentleman from Monongalia, (Mr. Willey.)--Mr. Turner, of Jackson, who was entitled to the floor, being absent, Mr. Early embraced the opportunity to make a correction of the report in the official organ of the Convention, the Richmond Enquirer.

A New Type-Setter. --Willis, in his last letter to the Home Journal, says the machine "to insert a pig at one end and grind out sausages at the other" is really "slow" in comparison with the new invention for setting types — a visit to which was the object of one of his recent walks in New York: "Alden's type-setter not only can set types as fast as eight men, but distributes, or restores to their places, the same amount by the same process — an auto-recuperation of outlay, which it is wondrous to believe (for an editor, at least,) may be a possible principle of Nature! "The type-setter is worked like a piano, by playing on keys — the mere touch on the key, for the letter a, for instance, being instead of the old fashion of taking up that letter with the fingers, turning it right end up and right side front, and putting it into the line, to be adjusted with spaces.

From Washington. Washington, March 28. --Nearly a dozen members of the press have been appointed to foreign and home offices, among them Jas. E. Harvey, a newspaper letter-writer, and former editor of the Philadelphia American. Joseph S. Wilson, former Commissioner of the General Land Office, has been returned to his former place as Chief Clerk of that Bureau. Capt. Josiah Gorgas, of the Ordnance Department, has resigned, owing, it is believed, to his being suspended as Superintendent of the Frankfort Arsenal. No troops, it is authoritatively stated, have been ordered to Fort Pickens. No Supreme Court nomination has been made. Mr. Archibold, late Chief Engineer U. S. N., has declined the same position in the Confederate Navy. The Convention, on the San Juan question, proposed by Great Britain, goes over to the next session.

Wilson, of Glen Easton, route agents on Baltimore Road, between Wheeling and Cumberland, and Philip Kuhn agent on the river route between Wheeling and Parkersburg.--John Terrell has been appointed postmaster at Triadelphia, and Dr. Roberts at Morgantown. It is denied that Mr. Crook, the mail agent on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, appointed by Mr. Lincoln, intends to resign.--The Charlottesville Republican, noticing the reported resignation of Crook, says, that no committee waited on Mr. Crook on his passage through Charlottesville. He was permitted to pass unmolested. But that evening a telegram was sent to Lynchburg with the request that Mr. Crook be informed that he had better not pass Charlottesville on another trip, if he consulted his personal safety. This, we suppose, was done, and henc
