There is none; not only is there no probabili ty hut there is no possibility of such an event. We do not believe that the North will give us any substantial euaran’.ees, and we could not trust them if they did. Tbe idea which seems to have taken possession of tho Peace Congress, as it is called, that we will be satis fled with prohibition North of 86-80, and squatter sovereignty Ssutb of that line is a gross insult to our understanding. Be assured we havo no idea of accepting any such terms. The truth is, our friends outside of the seced ing States, ought to be apprised of the fact lhat we have lost all hope of amicable adjust ment, and are looking to tho bayonet as the final arbiter of the dispute.” Rn hmonu, Ya., Feb 25.—1 n the convention to day, Mr. Moore, of Rockbridge, introduced a aoiiea of resolutions demanding security against future wrongs; opposing the African alive trade and direct taxation ; approving of the Crittenden compromise, and declaring that if that measure or its equivalent is not adopted, Virginia will be ready to enter into a compact wilh such A'ate« as Bhall agree to the said com promise and constitute a new confederacy from which all disagreeing shall be excluded.
