Virginia State Convention.Seventeenth day. Tuesday, March 5, 1861. The Convention was called to order at the usual hour. Prayer by the Rev. C. H. Read, of the 2d Presbyterian Church. Explanation. Mr.Mallory, of Brunswick, desired to explain the intent of his resolution, offered yesterday, having reference to a Convention of the Border States. In offering it, he had no ambition to gratify, and no expectation of winning laurels; but his position here required that he should explain it. He was sent here as a Union man, and he wished that the Union might have been preserved forever; but his constituents desired him to make no dishonorable sacrifices after the last effort had failed. The Peace Conference had failed to accomplish its purpose, and now he thought Virginia ought to take some action; hence he had proposed a resolution for a Conference among the Border States. He was opposed to the idea of a Central Confederacy, and if the question were presented to hi
extent in South Carolina that only slave States can be admitted to the Confederacy, is repudiated by the controlling men, and by the majority of the Congress. The Constitution will provide for the admission of free States, of course with suitable guaranties. Full powers will be given to the Congress to levy duties on imports and exports. The tariff recently enacted will immediately be amended, and will probably be made to impose an export duty of one per cent. on cotton, tobacco and rice. The duties on most imports will be fixed at ten per cent., and these rates will be made to take effect on January 1, 1862. Meats, breadstuffs, tea, coffee and jewelry will be admitted free. [second Dispatch.] Montgomery, Ala.,March 5.--The flag for the Confederate States has been definitely determined upon, and it was hoisted over the Capitol at 4 o'clock this afternoon. It originated with the committee. Mr. Mallory, of Florida, has been confirmed Secretary of the Navy.
