The traitors in Council.

Wheeling, Va., May 14--The Convention re-assembled this morning. The Committee on Federal Relations being unprepared to report, various propositions were presented for reference.

Carlile submitted a resolution dissolving the 10th and 11th Congressional Districts from the State, and reporting a Declaration of Independence with a Constitution for a new State, to be called ‘"New Virginia."’

Objection was made on the ground that said action would be forestalling that of the Convention. It was finally modified so as to require the Committee to report on the expediency of such an ordinance.

Adjourned till to-morrow.
