Mr. Conrad offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the report of the Committee on Federal Rise, of Princess Anne, suggested that the minority reports be included in the resolution. Mr. Conrad said that in his ignorance of parliamentary law he had supposed that the whole subject would c partial report. He inquired of the Chairman in regard to the time it might be expected.

ions a resolution which he offered early in the session, proposing measures looking to the defence of the Commonwealth. Mr. Early, of Franklin, was opposed to taking up the resolution. The last clause would require the services of competent Engineers, and the State had none in her employment. Mr. Richardson said the gentleman had entirely misinterpreted the language of the resolution. It merely sought information from the Adjutant General on the points stated. Mr. Brown, of Preston, thought it was a subject properly belonging to the Legislature, and he was opposed to taking it up. He then moved an adjournment, but withdrew it at the request of Mr. Richardson, who proceeded to correct the misapprehension under which gentlemen labored in respect to the resolution. Mr. Boisseau, of Dinwiddie, renewed the motion to adjourn, but withdrew it. The question was then taken and resulted — ayes 44, noes 28. No quorum voting. On motion of Mr. Burdett, the Con

If Virginia was disposed to try further experiments, let her go forth strong-handed, and without timidly. Let her yield not an inch. He wanted the Government of the whole Union, and believed we could acquire it if we pursued a sound policy. A voice was heard from N. Y. last night declaring that Va. held the destinies of the whole Union [He alluded to Mr. Cochrane.] By pursuing a decided, straightforward policy, the majority of the whole people would rally to her, and then the sceptre becomes theirs. He wanted the Convention to take sufficient time, and complete the work thoroughly, but not to be too slow, for the people were moving. Let Virginia act for herself — let her name her ultimatum — demand ample and full protection — and send it to the Border slave States, and to all the free States, telling them that if they cannot adopt the course pr

Federal Relations be made the order of the day, in Committee of the Whole, to-morrow at half past 12 o'clock, and continue so, from day to day, until further ordered. Mr. Wise, of Princess Anne, suggested that the minority reports be included in the resolution. Mr. Conrad said that in his ignorance of parliamentary law he had supposed that the whole subject would come up in debate. He would, however, cheerfully acquiesce in the suggestion if it were necessary. Mr. Sheffey, of Smythe, said there were rumors of the Committee soon being able to report in full, having thus far only made a partial report. He inquired of the Chairman in regard to the time it might be expected. Mr. Conrad, (Chairman of the Committee,) could not state with exactness; but he supposed by the end of this week, or on Monday next. Mr. Sheffey then moved to amend the resolution by striking out "to-morrow" and inserting "Monday next." Mr. Conrad opposed the amendment, and after some f

The Presidentstated the pending question to be on the motion to refer to the Committee or Federal Relations the report from the Commissioners to the Peace Conference. Mr. Tyler, of Charles City, being entitled to the floor, resumed his remarks. After an allusion to his physical disabilities, he preceeded to allude to the Peace Conference propossitions. He read an amendment which he had offered in the Conference, rel acted badly? After an eloquent tribute to South Carolina, he went on to consider the slight probability of benefit accruing to Virginia, by exchanging the trade with the South for a traffic in ice derived from the ponds of Massachusetts. Mr. Tyler said in closing, that he had presented the subject with as much force as he was capable of in his enfeebled condition, and thanked the Convention for the respectful attention given to his remarks.

nother man must be sent to Fortress Monroe, Harper's Ferry, or to the fort on the Potomac. Alluding to a scurrilous attack upon him in the N. Y. Times, where he was branded as a traitor, he said he had engaged in no political man ring with any party. The only communication he had received from South Carolina was a dispatch in reply to an effort for the preservation of peace. His correspondence was all with the North. He delighted to correspond with such noble men as Edward Everett, Robert C. Winthrop, and the venerable Dr. Spring, of Albany. After some remarks upon the skillful game of the Republicans in Congress, he spoke briefly of the proposed Conference of the Border Slave States, which he thought would amount to nothing. But if the ultimatum which he suggested were put forth, he could not foretell the greatness of its results. He was not prepared to say it would not be the means of restoring the glorious Union. He was not satisfied that the South would not come back. Virg
