DrscoRD IN VIRGINIA.

AT late meeting OF the citizens Of Ioudoun
county, Va, imposed ni both political parties,
resolutions were passed refusing TO send dele
yates 10 the Southern Convention. The meet
ing resolved that il was opposed TO the WIim6t
tPfoyso, and also to the Abolition OF Slavery in
the District of Columbia bnt held that the people
of California have right to determine the slave
nv question, so far they are concerned, for
themselves. ,
I. is to be regretted that such divisions should
occur at time like the present, when the north
ern public are SO likely to construe any thing
like discord among US into evidence ola want OF
unanimity Of sentiment the subject of contro-
versy between the two sections of the Union
The opposition of one more counties in the
West ot Virginia will not prevent, though It may
embarrass, the action Of that State. Since the
Nashville Convention has been determined on by
| SO large majority OF the people of the southern
States, it becomes the friends of the South and
of the Union, to promote its harmony, and to give
it the benefit oi their best counseis.
The holding of the Convention is uaimPortant
compared with what my be lis action Let
lhose who feel that there Is NO necessity Tor re
part or The South, but who caurot
prevent the holding of the proposed Convention,
avoid every thing like seeming opposition to 1t,
and when the proper time comes iur action they
will be i'll position to influence it's deliberations,
and, by their wise and patriotic connsels to pre-
vent the evil which they apPrehend from its con-
vocation.
No one can be more devotedly attached to the
Union, or would deprccate more any measure
calculated to endanger its permanency, than our
selves nevertheless it is our settled conviction
that in the present crisis, the safety o!the South
and the Union, rests mainly on the unanImlty,
modera ton and unhncling firmness of the people
of the slave States SGrGn'tah Ners.

NEW RAILROAD CARS.

Trial Of Patent Springs.-The Cumberland
Civilian aludes to the two new cars We have re-
Gently noticed as having been put on the Balti'
more and Ohio Railroad in the train of Captain
Davis, one with T. Perkins Patent Springs. and

full description of which we have heretofore pub
lished. and gives the following opinion as to their
qualities, paying also deserved compliment to
the highly popular conductor, TO whose train the
cars are attached:
We have tried those two cars fairly, and with:
out hesitation award the preference to Perkins
plan. passenger can not only read with per.
feet ease nthis car, but, with proper fixtures and
on straight road, could, we are sure, write with
out difficulty. The motion is perfectly equabie
and exceedingly gentle, whereas with the rubber
spring plan there is considerable swinging to
and iro, with an inequality OF motion occasIoned
by the irregular yielding Of the springs. This
latter, however, is delightful car and second
only to that on Perkins plan.
| We take this occasion TO say, that IN all our
travels, which have been somewhat extensive,
we have never met with more kind, courteous
and attentive officer. than Capt. Davis, to whose
train these cars are attached. It is impossible
TO travel with him. and not perceive no IS ge'
neral favorite all along the line. The company
are fortunate in the possession OF such an
| officer.
