port, signed by three of the committee OF
81, has been presented.
A resolution by Mr.. Orr, as an amend

to abide by the action of the Legislature
of the State, whether secession takes place
with or without opposition from the Gen

which no new features were Developed
All concurrcd in the wrongs suffered, and
the remedy necessary, differing only as
to time and manner. Whatever be the
action of the Convention, they will support
it,
Those against the original report were
Butler, Orr, and Barnwell. The latter
considered thatif South Carolina separa-
ted from the other Southern States the re-
suit would be fatal and detrimental to the
institution of slavery. The question will
be taken tomorrow night at 9 O'Clock,
and the report will doubtless be adopted by
a large majority. Rhett will probably
speak tomorrow.

We published on Monday letter from
the Post Office Department showing that
the Eastern mail had been ordered to be
brought tri-weekly Ella Of Charlottesville,
with probability that it will hereafter be
brought sir times week over the same
route. With this arrangement the pco-
pie Of Lynchburg will be satisfied but it
will probably suit the purposes of the De-
partment and the public convenience bet
ter, without in the slightest manner incom-
moding our citizens, to order the "threc ad-
ditional trips" spoken Of, .from Me DansiHe
road to Lynchburg, instead of from Char
lottcsvillc. If we could get the mail as
soon by that route as by Charlottesville,
we should prefer to see the service divi-
ded between the two lines, as larger
number of persons would thus be accom-
modated. Ifa conncxiou with thc North
ern mail at the Junction, however, can be
formed so as to give us the Washington and
Baltimore papers the morning after their
puhica.,on,we should still prefer the Char
lottesville route for the whole service.
We are convinced that nothing the
Department can do to accommodate our
people will be omitted; and we viii
do it the justice to say that, it is the first
time, probably in the history of the
town, an effort has been made to give
Lynchburg such mail facilities as its inn
portance demands. Wehave never doubted
that, as soon as the excellent and efficient
Post Master General was made acquainted
with our wants and grievances, he would
promptly endeavour to supply those by re-
moving these and he deserves, as he has
won, the thanks Of the community for his
success in doing both.
