Nine Cheers for the gallant Cockade. Petersburg has covered itself with glory. At one time the strongest Union town in Virginia, the manifest coercion policy of the Irrepressible Conflict Administration at Washington has opened its eyes to the truth that secession is now the only remedy consistent with the honor and independence of Virginia. The vote for instruction shows a clear gain of 309 votes over the vote received by Mr. Wallace, on the 4th ult. We should like to hear Richmond speak, and all slaveholding Virginia to let its voice be heard. The same revolution which has carried the citadel of Unionism has swept over every portion of the State which is identified with the slavery institution. We have never doubted for one moment that the majority of the people of both parties, with few and inconsiderable exceptions, are true to the Southern cause, and to their Southern brethren — that they are candid, honest, and open to conviction, and only need to see the light to embr

g was the grand climax; large numbers of citizens turned out to meet the Richmond delegation, which arrived between 8 and 9 o'clock at night. The booming of cannon, the firing of rockets, the glare of torches, with the inspiring strains of the band, these all united to give grand effect to the living tableau. The geat jubilee was held at Jarratt's Hotel; there the crowd was el oquently addressed by Messrs. Douglass of the Senate, Roger A. Pryor, Gordon of Albemarle, Crenshaw of Richmond, Wallace, and others. My space does not allow me to give even an outline of these graceful and appropriate speeches; suffice it to say, they were warmly received, and gave the highest satisfaction. So much for politics. Bishop Johns is expected here the latter part of this week to administer the rite of confirmation at the two Episcopal churches.--I learn that the number to be confirmed is quite large. He will also administer the rite of "ordination," of which I will say more anon. Mon CŒu

has its appropriate reward, either here or hereafter. They are now, as in the darkest days of the Revolution, the deadly foes of tyrants and tyranny. We are sure that no Virginian can see one of them here without feeling that he is indeed a friend and brother; if he feels a different emotion, then he is not of the manor born — in fact, is no Virginian. We chronicle to day the arrival here yesterday of another corps of South Carolina Volunteers--the Saluda Guard, Captain M. W. Gibbes, 80 men, armed with Minnie rifles; also a detachment of the Governor's Guard, in charge of Lieutenant Lenhart, (Captain W. H. Casson's company now.) who left Columbia on Tuesday--together with sundry members of Captain Wallace's company, whose arrival has already been noticed. The soldiers are from Lexington District. The Saluda Guard bore a splendid company flag, (Palmetto emblem,) presented them by the ladies. All men looked the right sort of stuff. They were conducted to Metropolitan Hall.

Action of the Maryland Legislature--Lincoln's troops marching through Baltimore. Alexandria, May 10. --In the Maryland Legislature, on Thursday. Mr. Wallace submitted a report from the Committee on Federal Relations. It declares that the war waged by the United States upon the people of the Confederate States is unconstitutional, repugnant to civilization and sound policy, and subversive of our free institutions. A protest is entered against the war on the part of Maryland; she declares that she will take no part, directly or indirectly, in its prosecution, and the assertion is made that Maryland desires a peaceful and immediate recognition of the independence of the seceded States. The present military occupation of the State of Maryland is protested against as unconstitutional, oppressive and illegal; and the final resolution asserts that, under existing circumstances, it is inexpedient to call a sovereign Convention at this time, or to take measures for the immediate

Virginia and Maryland. A Georgia correspondent writes us: "Every eye here is fixed on the glorious Old Dominion — every heart beats in unison with hers. Many knees are bowed in prayers for her to the God of Battles. And Maryland!--alas, poor Yorick! Tears for the fallen — curses for the oppressor! Surely in her bosom there will arise some William Tell,--some Wallace,--some Marion,--to strike home for his country and his God!" Aye!--hundreds! thousands! tens of thousands! in whose hearts burn volcanic fires, which will one day roll in waves of unquenchable flame over the heads of their oppressors! Where was there a more gallant, a more generous, a more chivalric State than Maryland? Let not our Southern friends for a moment doubt her futur
