The Convention appointed Patrick Henry, Colonel of the First Regiment, and "Commander of all the forces raised for the defence of the Colony."

There is great anxiety, in view of the secession movements at the South, and the momentous consequences likely to follow disruption of the Union, to know the views of President Buchanan on all the important points involved in the controversy now agitating the country.
