Letter Of Hon. Edward Bates, to John
Minor Bolts, of Virginia.

The Wheeling (va.) Hteligenccr pub
iishes two letters from Attorney General
Bates to John n. Bolts, on the subject Of
secession. The frs; is keen and conclu-
slve analysis Of the famous peace" letter
from Mr.. Bolts, published month or two
ago The second is more general, and
contains the following striking observa-
tions:
"But it seems, now that we differ so
widely in opinion upon matters Of fact,
that it is impossible for us to reason upon
the same line Of argument. You think
that the Union is already dissolved-the
nation already destroyed On the contra
ry believe no such thing. You believe
that peaceful dissolution of the Union.
IN the manner and by the means already
employed, as possible | believe il impos-
sible. believe that the insane effort at
national destruction, persisted in, will in
volye war more terrible than any the
world has witnessed, since the thirty years
war in Germany. You think that a great
nation like this can content 10 die, and
may hope to die an easy death. / think
that nations, like individuals, are under
Gods great law of self.defense, and when
pressed down by superior force, will die in
convulsive agonies. You seem TO think
that Virginia can 60 out of the Union and
still preserve her integral statehood +
think that when she dismembers the ma
tion she will herself be dismembered.
But will not continue the contrast
My heart is so sorrowful when l contem-
plate the present degradation of Virginia.
How are the mighty fall: With the
loss OF her power she has lost all prestige
Also and can no longer lead the people and
direct the eounsels of other States. She
remembers her patriots and sages of former
times, only to boast of them-not to imi-
tate their talents and virtues, but (but by
implicit faith to impute to the present
generation tho posthumous reputation Of
the glorious dead. Formerly she proudly
marched in the van of all the States: now
she creeps in the rear Of South Carolina,
and consents to be detailed as a picket
guard to man an outpost Of the Cotton
| States.
Poor old Virginia. In my heart pity
her. Already they boast in the South that
they have transferred the seat of war from
their homes to yours. And soon their de-
vouring legions will be upon you to cat
up your substance and do your voting at
the disunion election. Now mark my
prophecy: Unless Virginia, by a rapid
revolution, redeems herself from the gulf
that lies open just before, she will be de-
graded, impoverished, and dismembered.
For her, hope almost against hope. At I
for you, ! remain, as heretofore,
Your friend,

EDWARD BATES"
The Traitors in Baltimore.

Marshal Bonnafont of Baltimore has ap-
piled to Gen. Scott and Secretary Came
ron for permission to make arrests on his
own responsibility. without warrant, as
other people will sue his bail for damages,
Marshal BonnafUnt says that the Com
missioners appointed by the United States
District Court are reluctant to grant
warrant, and will not, unless the applica-
tion is backed by strong affidavits hOwev-
er great presumption. A warrant is re-
fused ual IS the facts are proved.
The Marshal does his best to stop the
expectation of arms, but has not a suff-
cient force, and cannot depend on the pO-
lice. He says that forty tons Of gunpOw-
der were carted away from Baltimore some
days ago, through Montgomery county to
Harpers Ferry; that the rebel allies have
COCO to 5000 stand of arms slowed away
in private houses of the city; that 5000
stand more are buried in the Eight Ward.
Every man has his gun; arms are now
making and nightly going out of the city
in chests, being unstocked for the conven-
iencc of packing Disunionionists from
Harper's Ferry are constantly going and
coming out of and into the city. Forty
arrived yesterday.
He says he does not wish to cast an un-
just imputatiOn upon the citizens of Balti-
more, but his observations and experience
there constrain him to say that should the
fortunes Of war favor the rebels in single
battle the scenes which will follow in Bal
timore will test the truth of his assertions.
He says that the Secessionists are only
waiting an opportunity to hang oil who
have proved themselves loyal to the Union,
and that they are now aiding the insurrec-
tionists whenever, wherever, aud in what
ever manner they can.
1t will be seen by our telegraphic dis
patches that the authority asked by Mar
shal BOnnafont, has been granted by the
authorities at WashingtOn.--Cin. Ca

The Convention met at2 o'clock.
Mr.. CRANE, of Randolph, having the
floor proceeded to reply to MIR. Van Wrinkle,
reviewing that gentleman's position at con-
siderable length. We shall have to defer
a report of this until the publication of the
speech to which it was reply.
After Mr. Crane had concluded,
The President announced the question
to be on the adoption of the substitute of
the gentleman from Tyler.
On that question Mr.. Snyder demanded
the yeas and nays.
FoyTA1X SMITH said he desired to speak
to the question, but he was at present ply
sically unable to do so. He would like to
have the vote postponed till morning, that
he could have au opportunity to speak
for that purpose he moved an ADJOURN
ment.
Mr.. WEST hoped they would not adjourn
without taking this vote, it could easily be
done. 1t was test vote, and by allowing
it to be taken they could now tell whether
the Convention intended passing anything
looking to separation or not. They had
vet three hours, and much could be done
in that time.
Mr.. SNYDER, merely wished to say, that
if they did not intend to take any action
in this matter, they had best go home, AMI
not remain here at nu expense of some
$4,000 week If they intend to
vote down this divisionlet them vote
it down and be done with it. They
had had speech yesterday that cost
their constituents $500, and two to-
day costing them $500 each. He thought
prudence would dictate that if they inten-
ded to do anything, they had better do it
and be done with it.
Mr.. BuRDETr hoped the friends of divi-
sion would vote down the motion so as to
get test vote.
Mr.. PAXTON trusted the usual courtesy
would be extended to the gentleman from
Marion.
Mr.. SNYDER demand the yeas and nays
on the motion to adjourn, which being ta-
ken rcsultcd-yeas As, nays 81.
So the Convention adjourned.

nenth orG.n. Lyon.

The telegraph this morning confirms the
account of the death of this gallant officer,
one of the brave leaders which great
emergency has brought prominently before
the American people. Gen. Lyon was the
first man to lead off in the greatwar forthe
Union, then just begun and since then in
a series of gallant actions be has followed
up his new blown fame till he has place
secon to none in the admiration and af-
fections of the American people.
He falls now on the field of battle, in de-
fence of the noblest cause for which human
life were. ever offered up a sacrifce-the
cause of constitutional liberty throughout
the world-the cause OF liberty protected
by law, a cause in which, when it-suffers,
all huma.ity blceds He died glOriously,
with all his new won laurels fresh upon
him, mourned, like the lamented Els
worth, by a people who will ever cherish
his memory.
Theloss of such n man at such time is
n sad aflictlon; nut others will be found
to take his place in council and on the
field; and the grand army of the Union, of
which he was one, will not halt because
one has fallen by the wayside. Many such
men must look their last upon the bright
sun of heaven before this great contest

THE lobby of the Convention hail was
crowded yesterday with an intelligent and
interested auditory. a large number of
ladies were present, both morning and af-
ternoon, to listen 10 the speeches of Mr..
Van Wrinkle and Auditor Crane. The eff
forts of these gentlemen fully sustained
their reputation for ability and eloquence.
Mr.. Van Wrinkles speech was q mastery
effort, cogcnt, logical and comprehensive
the very strongest that has yet, or we be-
lieve can be, made against division of the
State. He was listened to from first to
last with unwcaried attention.
The reply of Mr.. Crane was more an ell
oquent outburst OF long pent up indigna
ton at the wrongs OF patient and long
suffering people, rather than a set argu-
ment. Mr.. Crane is 81 feryid orator, with
spice of the Patrick Henry in his compo-
sition. Many passages in his remarks
were very beautiful and thrilling. He is
thoroughly radical, and we'll qualified to
