Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.affairs in Lynchburg. Lynchburg, Va.,Jan. 2. Since affairs in Charleston, S. C., have assumed the threatening attitude they at present occupy, a most profound sensation seems to pervade our entire community, and the all-absorbing question is, What is to be the ultimatum of the present-stirring state of political affairs? We have been visited by very heavy falls of snow during the past three or four days. To the west, along the line of the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, from all accounts, a most unprecedented snow must have fell. The cars on that road have not run into this city since Sunday morning last. At present, some seven or eight trains are blocked up in the snow on the mountains, and travel for the time being is necessarily in a state of suspension, though, in all probability, by the time this appears in print, the track will be clear and the regular trips resumed. Yesterday being New Year's day, a general suspensi

From South Carolina. Charleston, Jan. 2 --The Convention reassembled this morning, and the President announced that Commissioners to Georgia and Texas had been elected by ballot in secret session. The Columbia Artillery, 50 strong, arrived to-day at 1 o'clock, and proceeded down to the harbor. They are ordered to one of the forts. They carry with them a gun from Charleston and 2,000 pounds of powder. The Convention has adopted as amended the Committee's report for calling a Convention of the Southern States to determine their future political relations. This step, the Committee says, by no means arises from presumptuous arrogance, but from the advanced position which circumstances have given South Carolina in the line of procedure for the great design of maintaining the rights, security and very existence of the slaveholding States of the South. The Constitution of the United States is suggested by the Committee as a suitable and proper basis on which to found a

Message of the Governor of New York. Albany, N. Y.,Jan. 2. --Gov. Morgan, in his message to the Legislature, refers to needed State reform, and devotes the closing portion of his message to the Secession question. He says it is the duty of the National Legislature to act with moderation and conciliation, and the duty of the public press, with that regard for the rights of all sections and interest which its vast influence demands, to let New York set an example in this respect. Let her oppose no barrier, but let her representatives in Congress give ready support to any just and honorable settlement. Let her stand in an attitude of hostility to none, but extend the hand of fellowship to all. Live up to the strict letter of the Constitution cordially with the other members of the Confederacy, in proclaiming and enforcing the determination that the Constitution shall be honored and the Union of the States preserved. He recommends the repeal by New York of the "Personal Libe

Message of the Governor of Pennsylvania. Harrisburg, Pa.,Jan. 2. --Gov. Packer's message to the Legislature takes strong Union ground. He terms secession rebellion. He urges that the statutes of Pennsylvania be purged of all laws which may be rightly charged as violating the rights of a sister State. He recommends the Reprisal act of '76, allowing the slave claimant the right to choose his remedy under the State or National law; also, that the master have the right to retain the services of his slave while sojourning or passing through the State. He further recommends the re-enactment of the Missouri line by an amendment to the Constitution, the amendment to be ratified by State Conventions, if Congress refuses to let it emanate to the people. He closes by expressing devotion to Pennsylvania and to the Union, which her citizens will defend through every peril.
