A Portrait of count Cavour. --Count Cavour has so far recovered from his late attack as to be able to leave his bed and bedroom, and is expected to transact business in his manifold offices this very morning. His late complaint, for which he has been twice bled, was, happily, not of the apoplectic nature which had somewhat alarmed his friends on former occasions. It was merely an inflammation of the digestive organs.

His late complaint, for which he has been twice bled, was, happily, not of the apoplectic nature which had somewhat alarmed his friends on former occasions. It was merely an inflammation of the digestive organs. There is no doubt, however, that his strong health threatens to give way before his intense incessant occupation, strong appetite, luxurious living, plethoric habits, and want of bodily exercise. He is always up and at work at five o'clock in the morning. From nine to half-past 6 in the afternoon he directs all the business in his own departments, and takes a general survey of those of his more helpless colleagues. --Then follows dinner, his only meal, I believe, in the twenty-four hours, and, I am told, none of the lightest. He uses no carriage, but a walk fro

, no mean detail or particular is too common-place for him. He has an eye for everything; he trusts few men, and these generally obscure but able individuals of his own choice and creation. He writes most of his letters with his own hand. He writes a plain and distinct round, French hand, with lines wide apart — a hand of which strength and decision would not, on a first inspection, seem to be the most obvious characteristics. A French photographic likeness, lately published by Maggi, conveys the very mind and should of this greatest of living statesmen. A whole volume might be written about the expression lurking beneath every line of the half good humoredly, half sarcastically smiling mouth. It is the smile of the man who has early found out "how little wisdom it takes to govern the world, " and whose noble heart has prompted him to rule over it for its own greatest advantage. May his hand long continue firmly to wield the destinies of his country. --Turin Cor. of the Times.

Slide. --The up train on the York River Railroad, last Monday, encountered an obstruction near Gillies' Creek, in the shape of a large mass of earth. The passengers walked up to the city through mud and slush, which was no agreeable task. The obstruction has since been removed.

to anything which Virginia ought to reject, we shall be greatly disappointed in our own estimate of men. James H. Coxe, of Chesterfield, is another man represented as strongly Union. There is no doubt that he is, and will use his efforts to restore the Union; but that he will desire to humble Virginia before Black Republican misrule, by accepting anything short of what is right and just to the South, we do not believe. We believe the Virginia Cnvention will be indeed a Convention of Virginians — that they will accept the condition of the country as the guide for their action — that they will be ready to vindicate Virginia — and that they will be true to the unity of Southern interest and the integrity of Southern feeling. All this we believe, and what is a logical deduction from the premises, we believe that Virginia will be content with no settlement that does not Restore the whole Union. If that cannot be accomplished, she will, of choice, as well as from the necessity of he<

The Convention. There will evidently be a large majority of so-called "Unionists" returned to the Convention. But the term should not be misunderstood at the North. It is indefinite in our Southern elections. In Alabama, for instance, "Union" meant "co-operation, " and "co-operation" meant that when five States were out the co-operationists were ready to go. The Virginia Convention, whatever be the party names applied to its members, will insist on a of our difficulties at this time in a proper manner; and the only question of difference among its members will be as to the length of time to be employed in efforts at the restoration of the Union. On this point events will assist the body in coming to a proper conclusion, and when that is reached everybody will no doubt concur and co- operate. As to the so-called "Union men" being submissionists, we need only point to John M. Speed and Thomas Branch. If they will submit to anything which Virginia ought to reject, we
