VIRGINIA ON THE FLOOR OF CONGRESS.
An occasional correspondent of the Boston Cou'

OF the Massachusetts delegation on the floor Of Con

she has less voice in the affairs Of the nation than
most, even, Of the youngest members OF the Confed.

ground Senator Wilson, who is alone at bis post in
the Senate, 10 surely no match for Hunter Of Virg

auence. say this without reference 10 politics.
Senator Wilson does not feel easy in his seat. lie is
Inferior both in intellect and education, to majority
of bis brother Senator'S and he behaves as though he
was thoroughly conscious Of it. The Senate Of the
United States as at present composed is an able bo
dy. Senator Wilson belongs to the half dozen least
efficient Of it's members. He takes rank with Brode
rick of California, Evans of South Carolina and
others, who are merely Of respectable capacity

vantage. The bald pated. most energetic and prompt
vrgnian Lecher. who rivets the eye of the visitor
to the House almost as he enters the gallery,
has got more life and ability 10 him than the whole
Massachusetts delegation together"
And yet, what a'gala1y of talent the Old Bay
state has still within her borders! Everett, Win.
