VIRGINIA AND THE Union

twill be seen from the Legislative report, that
a series of resolutions was introduced in the House
of Delegates, OIL Saturday, by Mr.. Boiling of
Buckingham, embracing several very important
propositions touching the position of the State
with respect to her federal'relatons. A motion 10
postpone these resolutions indefinitely was first
jected by tpo votes and afterwards carried by one.
The result is explained, chiefly by the fact that the
resolutions took the house somewhat by surprise.
We apprehend there will be no difficulty in OBJ
tanning an unequvocal expression of the determi-
nation of the State to abide by the Compromise
adopted by Congress, and to insist apon the faith
full observance of all its parts. The communca-
ton from the Governor of South Carolina seems
to make such declaration not only appropriate,
but unavoidable.

SoUTHEY's ADVICE TO READERs-The poet
Southey,in one of his letters says:
''The advice Iwould give any one who is dis
posed really to read for the sake of knowledge,
is that he should have two or three books in course
of reading 1.-THE same time. He will read great
deal more in that time, and with kindergarten pro-
fit. All travels are worth reading, as subsidiary
to reading and in fact essential parts of it; old or
new it matters not--something is to be learned
from all. And the custom of making brief notes
of Preferences to every thing of int est or impor-
lance would be exceedingly useful"

adopting its double dealing OF reaction and DEM
ocracy, One OF its members has taken the lead Oft the

THE CIJRA EXPEDITION

We learn from the New Orleans papers that General
John Henderson, at noon on the 9TH instant closed the
argument he had begun the previous day, which was
principally directed against the validity of the ndict-
ment under which he tried. After he had concIu-
ded, Logan Hunton, Esq followed in support OF the
Indictment and of the evidence which he proposed to
introduce under it, Without, he said, following Mr..
Henderson the widely extended research he had ex
hbited he would establish his position by few we'll
settled elemental rules, which he thought would suffice
for the purpose He objected to this general discussion
OF the suficency OF the indictment at the present

Itwould be more suitable motion to quash the
indictment before going to trial, in arrest oil
Judgment after verdict rendered. The plea of not
guilty, already made by The defendant, was adms-
sion of the legal sufiicency OF the Indictment; and he
commented on Mr.. Hendersons remark that he would
drive coach and four through it," contending that
he had not broken crack in its extensive walls
which he could hang doubt.
