The Convention.

The Committee of the Whole made very good progress on Saturday, by adopting several sections of the proposed amendments to the Constitution, with two additional amendments proposed by Mr. Wise. The stirring news from Charleston entered largely into the debate, and some of the leading Union members manifested a strong sympathy with the Federal Government. A dispatch from Gov. Pickens was laid before the Convention, and it will be seen by reference to it that he is anxious to know what course Virginia will pursue in this crisis. Gov. Letcher telegraphed back that the Convention, now in session, would decide. Mr. Wysor, of Pulaski, desired to get an immediate vote on the question of withdrawal, but his preamble and resolution were not received.
