Int. Public Meetings in Virginia. A meeting was held in Gloucester county, Va., last week, at which resolutions were adopted requesting the County Court to levy a tax for the arming of a sufficient military body in that county.

It was estimated that the value of the vessel and cargo, which consisted of cotton, rice, domestic produce, &c., was not less than $450,000, and yet this large amount was "locked up" for some time, rather than allow chances for the vessels of the enemy to make their way up to the fort or the city. On Saturday last it was estimated that about thirty-two vessels from foreign ports, viz., Great Britain, France, Spain, Sweden and Germany, were in the harbor, shipping cotton and other Southern produce, the medium of purchase being gold taken by the very vessels that were there in the act of loading. There are also in the harbor twenty-two Northern and Eastern vessels that were all standing idle, not being able to get cargoes.

Take away the apology of "uniting the South," and the act stands before the world without excuse. You cannot say that the Harriet Lane comes with a warlike intent; and if you could, firing into her is not going to defeat her intent, or advance the independence of South Carolina the thousandth part of a hair's breadth.

The Charleston Courier furnishes the following items: A colored resident of Columbia, S.
