He thought the men who talked the loudest would be found wanting in the hour of danger. He hoped the resolution would meet with no opposition.--If it passed, it was his purpose to withdraw from the Committee on Federal Relations a resolution which he offered early in the session, proposing measures looking to the defence of the Commonwealth. Mr. Early, of Franklin, was opposed to taking up the resolution. The last clause would require the services of competent Engineers, and the State had none in her employment.

It would not do for Virginia to told her arms in slumber — she must do something. The probable evacuation of Fort Sumter was here touched upon, and he spoke of his efforts with President Buchanan in that direction. He thought the proceeding commendable in Lincoln, even though the necessity was forced upon him. He wished that the same policy might be pursued in regard to Fort Pickens, and that the Southern Confederacy might be recognized, in order to save the fragments of the Union.

Mr. Conrad offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the report of the Committee on Federal Relations be made the order of the day, in Committee of the Whole, to-morrow at half past 12 o'clock, and continue so, from day to day, until further ordered. Mr. Wise, of Princess Anne, suggested that the minority reports be included in the resolution. Mr. Conrad said that in his ignorance of parliamentary law he had supposed that the whole subject would come up in debate. He would, however, cheerfully acquiesce in the suggestion if it were necessary. Mr. Sheffey, of Smythe, said there were rumors of the Committee soon being able to report in full, having thus far only made a partial report. He inquired of the Chairman in regard to the time i

He delighted to correspond with such noble men as Edward Everett, Robert C. Winthrop, and the venerable Dr. Spring, of Albany.
