After a humorous allusion to the hopelessness of a cause whichect the rights and honor of Virginia. Mr. Moore, of Rockbridge, arose to correct the position of the gentleman from Halifax, as stated on Saturday, in reference to South Carolina thirty odd years ago. He (Mr. M.) voted in the Legislature, at thcion. He was in favor of peace. He then proceeded very briefly to allude to some further remarks of the gentleman from Halifax, closing by saying that he had never, like him, owned sugar plantations at the South; if he had, it might have some inflr than either. Until to-day, he had stood comparatively alone; but since he had heard the remarks of the gentleman from Halifax, he did not despair. He therefore demanded to be heard upon this question. He cared not how long it took, in these tim

further remarks from Mr. Wise, Mr. Summers, of Kanawha, said that he thought, since the gentleman from Harrison was absent, the vote should not be taken now, though he did not feel at liberty to move that the Committee rise. He regarded the report of the committee as an improvement upon the Peace Conference propositions; if the vote were to be taken now upon the question of striking out and inserting, he would be compelled to vote against it. Remarks were made by Mr. Fisher, of Northampton, in favor of taking the vote at once. Mr. Clemens renewed the call for a division of the question, but Mr. Harvie objected, and the Convention sustained the objection. Mr. Early did not want his vote to be constructed as a condemnation of the Peace Propositions. Mr. Baldwin said that in giving his vote he did not view the present as a test question in regard to the Peace Conference propositions. He was willing to take those propositions unamended, but he would not vote for

nne, he did not think they went far enough. He was, however, in favor of compromise, and hoped that something would be adopted upon which the whole South would be willing to stand. He then went on to reply to the argument of the gentleman from Augusta in regard to protection and free trade. The advantages of a separation from the Government of the United States were next pointed out. Under the system of legislation that prevailed, it would be impossible for Virginia to become what the Go. The voice of the people was coming up, and if the Convention remained here long enough, they would decide the issue. He opposed the adjournment of the Convention, which had been proposed, to meet again at some future day. Mr. Baylor, of Augusta, desired that his vote should not be construed into a disapproval of the Peace Conference propositions, which had been, and still would be, satisfactory to him. He thought the report of the committee was an improvement. Mr. Wise called for

Mr. Wise asked if the motion in this form would preclude another motion to strike out and insert. The Chair.--Certainly not. Mr. Wilson, of Harrison, had something which he desired to offer. He moved that the Committee rise. The Chair,--The motion is not in order.--The Committee has resolved to sit till 2 o'clock. Mr. Scott, of Fauquier, desired to present some views to the Committee, but had not designed to do so at this time. He understood the motion to be to strike out, and insert the substitute offered by the gentleman from Harrison, which was the proposition emanating from the Peace Conference. He supposed it was hardly necessary now to show why the substitute ought not to be adopted. It seemed to him that there was no ground for comparison between the competing propositions. In that emanating from the committee,

It saddened his memory; but he would rather see Virginia annihilated than to see her live degraded; to see her become The fixed figure for the time of scorn, To point his slow and moving finger at. He thought he could see that in the Southern flag which would do what the present flag would not do — protect the rights and honor of Virginia. Mr. Moore, of Rockbridge, arose to correct the position of the gentleman from Halifax, as stated on Saturday, in reference to South Carolina thirty odd years ago. He (Mr. M.) voted in the Legislature, at that time, for measures to keep the Federal troops from coercing that State. The gentleman had also held him up as an exceedingly bellicose character-- Mr. Bruce said he merely passed a friendly jeet; he certainly intended no offence. Mr. Moore said the jest had gone forth to the country, and he wished

e prejudices which he picked up there. The Chairman stated the question to be upon the motion of the gentleman from Harrison, (Mr. Carlile,) to strike out the report of the Committee on Federal Relations and insert his substitute. Is the Commit so at this time. He understood the motion to be to strike out, and insert the substitute offered by the gentleman from Harrison, which was the proposition emanating from the Peace Conference. He supposed it was hardly necessary now to show why thed be presented to the North as Virginia's ultimatum. The report of the Peace Conference, proposed by the gentleman from Harrison, he regarded as a cheat and a fraud. Mr. Brown, of Preston, called for a division of the question — so that the vot After some further remarks from Mr. Wise, Mr. Summers, of Kanawha, said that he thought, since the gentleman from Harrison was absent, the vote should not be taken now, though he did not feel at liberty to move that the Committee rise.

He proposed to show by a comparison, the verbiage and opportunities for construction that existed in the report of the Peace Conference. The report of the Committee was far preferable, and although it did not meet his views, he would show, if the courtesy were extended to him, wherein the difference consisted. Mr. Harvie, of Amelia, as a member of the committee, expressed his entire dissent from the report of the majority. He did not believe that we could or ought to remain in this Confederacy, no matter what parchment guarantees might be made. He would take nothing, and his constituents would take nothing, unless the Cotton States come back to the Union. The only question to decide was with which of the Confederacies Virginia should unite. He would never make another demand of the North, except with the sword in h
