WASHINGTON, April 6.-Lieut. Tai
bot, the special messenger Of Major An
derson arrived here early this morning.
! He was immediately taken to the White
House by Secretary Cameron. The in

ing, which remained in session for nearly
two hours. Nothing has as yet trans
pired as to the precise character Of the

Much significance is justly attributed
to the failure Of Il number of members
Of the Virginia Legislature, who came
here to urge a continuation of the pres
ent military status of the South, to OBJ
tain satisfactory assurances II an inter
view they had with the President last
evening.
Mr.. Segar, one of their number,

could do nothing with the Executive

of civil war.

CessiOnists.
Judge Joel Parker, Of the Cambridge
Law School, sends to the Boston Jour
nal for publication a private letter from
a distinguished Breckenridge Democrat
of Kentucky, from which We reproduce
the closing sentences:
They do not wish to be eonciliated
DO not wish to come back into the Union,
Their revolu::ivri is in reality based upon
false political economy. 1t will re.
quire time to underceiye them. and to
dissipate their visionary fabrics into the
air. They are determined to maintain
their independence at every hazard
while the Federal authorities should be
equally determined to exercise theil
right of jurisdiction. How both are to
succeed | cannot imagine, and their in
dependence will probably be acknowl-
edge in the end. If it is, and they ever
seek -admittance into the Union dur
ing my life time, [ will vote, against it
unless in the meantime they have un-
dergone a great change for the better
| have travelled through several of them.
and give it as my candid opinion, that
in no section of the globe where the
Anglo Saxon race is predominant, does
there exist that degree of ignorance and
depravity which may be found in the
Cotton States of America. They have
ever been a most discordant element in
our National councils-haye not added
much to our respect as a nation, and
were it not for the dangerous precedent
it would establish, l think we would
gain in getting rid of them forever.
