day as possible, but why should they be
limited In time. BE moved to lay the res
olutton gu the table, but afterwards with.
drew the motion, aud moved 10 amend by
substituting Wednesday next.
Mr.. SIXTH, like the gentleman from
Wetzel, thought 1t unnecessary to pre-.
scribe limit to the time the Legislature
should have TO finish It's business. He
was ms DESTROYS rs any one ofgoing home,
but be visa more DESTROYS that their busi-'
ness should be FIRST properly finished up.
He suggested that two uays of next week
would be sufficient. ~
Mr.. HooToS said no member was more
destrors than he Of going home. The
rebel army Was in his rouaty, bad been in
his village, and, perhaps, in his house.
Nevertheless, be was anxious that they
should not adjourn until the business for
which they were there, was finished.--
There was one question, no all absorbing
one TO his constituents, not vet attended
70, rad that was the taking of the !ni,ia.ory.
steps for division Of the State. That
question alone would require several days
consideration. He regarded that as one
fthe most important questions they would
have to act upon. The whole country was
looking to them for action on that subject,
and be thought IN adjournment without
It's consideration must meet with strong
condemnation.
Mr.. PORTER thought they could do any
thing that ought TO be done, by Saturday
night. lie had come TO the conclusion
long ago, that, as some Que had said, 1.-THE
world is governed entirely too much" lie
thought they were not now doing very
much; they were here ut considerable
expense to tue State aud he thought there
WAS no necessity OF staying here on ex-
pense, with nothing to do hut TO talk
They had elected Senators, who had been
recognized, and that was glory enough for
one short session. The appropriation bill
WIS ready, and he had no doubt they could
get through by Saturday night.
Mr. VANCE fully coucurred in the re-
marks of the gentleman from Hancock
lie believed there WAS, IN general, too
much legislation. He had discovered that
tue longer they stayed here, the more bust
ness there was before them, AMI II they
waited until ii WAS finished, they would
never get away. He WAS just returned
from an absence among his constituents,
and he knew they wanted the Legislature
to adjourn. he thought they bad lUHe
enough, and u little tol much, already.
Mr.. FARSswORTH said il WAS true lie was
in favor OF taking steps for the furmation
OF a new State, perhaps HsmuCh so MS any
member Of the Legislature, but he was a..
so in favor of M early adjournment. lie
thought even il they adjourned on Satur-
day, they could take into consideration the
propricly Of going into the formation of
new State, without conflicting with the mr.
rhngsnent OF nn adjournment He hearth
~ CONQUERED with his iricnd from Hancock,
that there WAS great deal too much Iegis.
liiion, aud he was in favor Of Adjourning
nad going home. The world had not been
created in II day, neither could they do all
the lrgisAting for the State in this short
extra session. 1t was presumnbIe that
this was not 10 be the last time the Vir.
ginia Legislature would assemble, and lie
wanted to leave something to he done ut
the regular session next winter.
The question on the amendment sub
shutting. "Wednesday instead Of Saturday
being taken, the amendment WAS adopted.
The resolution as amended was adUp-
ted, and the Senate ordered to be noti-
lied.

confscated aud they compelled to leave
the State.
Mr.. Parsons said the bill No. 5. author
izing the organization of patrols had lain
upon the table long time, and he was
afraid it would be entirely passed by. The
rebel forces were now driven out Of the
country but the federal forces were also
gone in pursuit OF them. The secession.

they were relieved from the wholesome
fear Of the federal troops would soon be-
