FREE NEGROES.

The recommendation Of Gov. FLOYD in regard
to free negroes which has been responded to by the
adoption of resolution of inquiry and the appoint
ment Of select committee on the subject by the
Rouse OF Delegates, Will receive, it is presumed, the
general appreciation Of the people ofthe State. Ac-
cordibg 10 the Of 1910, the free negroes in
Virginia numbered 49,Sl2-an increase of 2 739
since 1880; and the probability is that the next
census will exhibit still larger increase Occu-
Pyihg aposiiion between those Of citizens and slaves
this portion OF our population does not receive the
sympathy and protection extended to the one class,
and are necessarily deprived of the stimulus TO in
dustry and enterprise enjoyed by the other. Thus
while some of them in spite of untoward circum-
stances respectable and useful members of soci
ETY., the large majority are thriitess drones and
nusances in the community. Philanthropy and
sef-interest, therefore, equally demand that some
thing should be done with view 10 their removal
beyond The limits of the Stale. Gov Smiths prop
osition-that of forcibe removal-repeatedIy and
earnestly urged by him, was rcpugnant to most
mems innate sense Of justice, and could not be car
Tled into effect. The recommendation ofour pres
ent Chief magistrate, however, is more humane,
and, for that reason, if for other more practical
bic. Let the free negro be convinced, that his in
terest will be promoted by emigraiing to Liberia,
as he may easily be, and let the means for going be

AN ELOPEMEyT.

"A lady named MILLER, about So years old, wife
OF Maj MILLER, Of the army, now in Florida, and
daughter Of the Hon. JOHN NoRyELL, of Michi-
gan, eloped from Niagara Falls on the 9Th uIt,
with young man named BLAKEMER. She is the
mother of two boys, one four and the other six years
of age, and TO the disgrace OF abandoning her
husband and children 10 become the paramour of
BLAKEMER, sought to make the impression that
she had committed suicide al the Falls Her Don
net was found on the bridge, and her shawl tied to
the railing; and rnglct her hair, her gold watch
wedding ring, SC, with three letters were found
in her room, addressed 10 her husband, another
to her father and the third to the proprietor of the
hotel, requesting him TO take care of her children
til they could be sent to their grand parents in De
troit. 1t was generally believed first, to be case
of deliberate suicide, but il is now ascertaintd that
Mrs. Nj. left in the cars in company with BLAKE
MER. The children stated that their mother had
bid them good bye and kissed them, after they had
gone 10 bed and that they had last come from Wiz

South CAROLINA Notwithstanding this Com
monwealth has been for so long time on the verge
OF the last resort in behalf of her rights and iber
ties, II appears from the recent message of Gov.
SEABRooK 10 the legislature that the military Or
ganiZatlon of the State is in most deplurabe con-
dltion. The Baltimore American says:
The Governor has been on tour of visitation re-
Gently To The arsenals in different paris of South
Carolina, and he has attended as many of the repi

view, was altogether unsatisfactory. there was
everywhere deficiency in the ordinary means of
defence and IN all the materials of war generally
and we are somewhat surprised 10 learn that there
was a lack OF military ardor. Gov. Seabrook remarks
with special emphasis:

South Carolina must hereafter. exist as Il aqiIituu

years affords abundant proof that as long as the u

holder. An eternal warfare against his rights OF
person and property, under the associated influence
OF the people and the states of the North and the
central power, has been soemnly and deliberately
decreed. For this reason it is essential that the
community Of which he is Il member should be pre-
pared, at any moment, for every emergency

PRESCRIPTION IN VIRGINIA.

YIN me SUBJECT OF the recent petty prescriptions
by the Legislature, we find the following in the
Richmond papers
BLOODY DoINGs.-In the House, there was
bloody work. Mr. Hopkins, after running the uann,-
U ,et oi caucus OF his own party, was reelected
Speaker without opposition. The two whius VIII,

STATE CONSTITUTION.

MIR. Fnney, of AccOmac, offered a resolution for
special committee of 49, 10 inquire into the eXpe-
diency OF a Convention To reform the State consti-
tuition. with leave 10 report by bill or otherwise.
Mr.. Shepard appealed to Mr.. +. 10 consent that
the resolution be for the present laid on the table,
and made motion to that effect.
MIR. Worthngtun saw no good reason for laying
the resolution ON the table, as 1t only one of In.
quiry and The Chair could take time 10 appoint the
committee. Mr.. PannIll and Mr.. Ferguson ex.
pressed The same view
Mr.. Shepard dIsclaIined indicating by his motion
purpose 10 oppose the object of the resolution. lie
only wished to show 10 The people that their repre-
sentalives were handling this subiec; with great
caution.
Mr.. Rives renewed the motion. He thought if
would be prudent to postpone this subject until!
members had had time for further conference.
Mr.. Finney said he did not desire the committee
to be hastily appointed lie said the people Of East
ern Virginia sick Of discussion on this conven-
ton question. His own constituents were unani-
nous in favor ola Convention.
Mr.. Shelley said he feared that this proposition,
coming from the East, did not answer the objects
Of the West. As Western man, he proclaimed
that if the people were not to be allowed to decide
upon what basis the Convention should be consi-
,uled, as well as whether there should be Con-
venilon he would not acqulesce in The proceeding.
Lei oh Oe !epOIteu, submitting the question
whether there should be white basis or mixed basis:
otherwise it should not have his support.
MIR. Flnney, in answer 10 the iutimation of the
gentleman from Augusta, said, as an Eastern man.
he was prepared 10 meet this question. His con-
stuents wanted 10 reform the rOuenness Of the con-
stllution. II placed on The committee, he should
endeavor 10 report bill that would submit the
question Gbasis.
Mr. Patrick expressed similar views 10 those of
Mr.. Price and Mr.. Shelley. His people were will
ling to wait for the census Of 1850, but they did
not want the Convention unless it was upon the
white basis.
The resolution was adopted by the following
