WHEELING, Va, May 11.-Delegates con.
tinue to arrive for the convention. About
300 are expected. In addition to the before
mentioned counties that will be represented are
Upshur, Roane. West, Barbour, Cabell, bod
bridge, Calhoun, Gilmer, Randolph, and
Hampshire; with Braxton, Clay, Kanawha,
Putnam, and Webster, to hear from. Tween.
ty-eight counties are sure to be represented.
Hon. james M. Stevenson is spoken of TOR
president OF the convention. The new state is
to be called New Virginia. AT large meet,
ing, tonight, John S. Carlisle and Frank Pier
pont spoke. Carlisle claimed that while there
should be no coercion to go out, there should
be none to prevent remaining in the Union.
Allegiance is due first to the federal govern
ment if there was Ito interference with state
rights. The convention of Monday was re-
terred to as an instrument of separation, amid
great enthusiasm. Major Pendleton of the
confederate states army has arrived, and re-
ports that 5000 troops are ready to be sent here
from Harper's Ferry at his word. He thinks
their presence unnecessary. Arrangements
have been made to prevent the introduction of
hostile forces. Should an attempt be made
camps Harrison and Dennsou, and the camp
at GAINESVILLE, Ohio, can throw 10000 troops
into western Virginia when necessity requires
and it seems as if it would be necessary in
less than three days Gen. Beauregard is in
Richmond. There is an immense feeling in
favor Of division of the state, increasing
hourly.
