lemen, in the ardent expression of their views, lost sight of the dignity of the subject. He took exception to the term "submissionists," which had been used. Mr. Morton disclaimed having applied that term to any party on this floor. Mr. Goode, of Bedford, nominated Hon. Henry A. Wise, of the county of Princess Anne, to whom he paid a high tribute. Mr. Wise said there was but one condition upon which he would go to Washington, and that was that he should be allowed to go alone a He would vote for the gentleman from Augusta with great pleasure, having understood the gentleman from Princess Anne to decline. He gave notice that he would nominate for third Commissioner Mr. Geo. W. Randolph, of the city of Richmond. Mr. Goode withdrew the name of Mr. Wise, and Mr. Stuart was elected without opposition.

the military enthusiasm prevailing in Mecklenburg. It will be seen by the following that the soldiers there respond with alacrity to the call of their country: The three companies of Mecklenburg volunteers have been anxiously awaiting orders to march for several days. They expect to receive orders before we go to press this week. The Clarksville Blues, Capt. Finley, have been receiving constant accessions to their ranks, and their number is almost complete. The Boydton Cavalry, Capt. Goode, has also received large accessions, and will scarcely be able to accommodate all who apply for admission. The Chambliss Light Infantry, Capt. Baskerville, will also have a full complement of men, if the ranks are not already full.--And all will respond promptly to the Governor. Lynchburg patriotism.

The militia forces of the Upper Regiment turned out in large numbers. The Boydton Cavalry, Capt. Goode, made a splendid show. This company is composed of the real fighting grit of the county. The Clarksville Blues, under Capt. Finley, however, took the palm. The proficiency in drill which this capital company has attained under the skillful tutorship of Capt. Finley, evokes the most cordial praise. The Captain has been offered promotion, but prefers to stand by his "boys." After the muster, a large crowd collected in front of B. D. Morton's store, and called lustily for a speech from E. R. Chambers — That gentleman appeared, and among other good things, said that no propositions for peace could now be listened to by the South, and no adjustment made, except dictated by u

Clarksville, Mecklenburg co., May 21, 1861. The County Court yesterday appropriated $35,000 for arming and equipping the volunteers. In this appropriation provision is made for the Cavalry, Capt. Goode, now at Ashland; for the Clarksville Blues, Capt. Finley, and Chambliss Grays, Capt. Baskervill, both of which have their rendezvous at Richmond; also for five additional companies. There are four now forming. Capt. Tucker Carrington is raising a company on this side of the Roanoke, Mr. T. T. Boswell one on Bluestone, Mr. Oliver one in the neighborhood of the city, and Col. William Townes, jr., one in the neighborhood of Boydton. All of them, I believe, have the legal number, and will organize at once. Mecklenburg is thoroughly aroused, and will furnish more than her quota of men and money. A servant of Thomas B. Wall, of this county, insisted so much on going with Capt. Finley's company, that his master consented for him to go. He was told that his clothes were

spapers of the State. Rejected. The original ordinance was then passed. Mr. Morton moved to take up an ordinance confining to the civil Courts of Richmond the trial of persons suspected of treason who may be brought here by the military authorities of the State. Substitute offered and passed. Mr. Fisher offered a resolution inhibiting the officer charged with that duty from paying Judge Thompson, of the 20th Judicial District, his salary as such Judge until further orders. Mr. Goode submitted an ordinance providing that wherever the words "United States" occur in the Code of Virginia or other laws of the State, the words "Confederate States" shall be substituted therefor. Amended by adding "where applicable." Amendment rejected — original ordinance passed. Mr. James Barbour called the attention of the House to the fact that the Committee on Federal Relations had just had an interview with the President of the Confederation, and he desired the committee to meet t

about one hundred miles ahead, in a thick wood on the right of the road. The Major ordered the Mecklenburg detachment to dismount and advance; they alone had rifle carbines. The Cumberland Troopers, only six or eight of whom had carbines, were ordered to hold themselves in readiness in the centre for a charge. The other detachments, which were armed with double barrelled guns, were ordered to the rear as a reserve corps, and also to prevent the enemy's retreating toward Newport News. Captain Goode and his men, with a few individuals of other companies who could not hold back, then hurried forward as skirmishers, and the action immediately began. The gallant fellows were as deliberate as regulars, and picked off every Yankee who appeared. Major Hood, at the head of fifteen men, rushed into the ambush and took them in the rear. The enemy being driven from their position rushed for the woods on the other side, and some went up the road. Then the command was given to us to cha
