The meeting of the Convention now in
session at Wheeling, is mn event of historic
cal importance to tho State of Virginia.
It promises to provide a temporary Govern
meut for the State, to perform those fuuc-
tons, so far as may be, which its Executive
reasonably abandoned by practically Civ
ing all authority into the hands Of the
Southern rebellion, who have established
military despotism over the Common
wealth. Probably not more than fourth
of the counties are represented; but this
paueity of representation is due alone to
the military rule which has prevented the
loyal citizens of other sections of the State
from uniting and selecting delegates.
A majority of the Convention would, 1t
is understood, prefer 70 limit its action to
the Northwestern counties, where alone
the authority Of Provisional Government
will be Immediately recognized. The mo-
tive Of this Limitation is to secure at once
practical separation of the State, in the
hope that that action will ultimately be rAti-
fed by the State and Federal Governments
Such movement, however, would be a
violation of the provisions of the Constitu.
ton of the State and of the United States
And though the delegates to the Conven.
tiou ara nearly unanimOns in favor of the
creation of new State, whose eastern line
shall follow the natural boundaries, ira.
verslng the State from the northeast to thl
southwest, when It can be legally accom-
pltsh, the great majority will be found tt
| oppose any premature or extra-COnstitu
tiopal action.
Probably the true course for the Con.
vention to pursue in the emergency, and /
is the only one in which loyal yirgiuian:
in all parts of the State can unite, is I,
base their action nPoh the denial of thu
existence of any Government within Ch,
limits of the Commonwealth. Though on
John Letcher to-day styles himself Gov
error Of Virginia, yet, as matter of fact
by giving his adhesion TO the ordinance Q
secession, he has invited and established
foreign military rule over the State, an
thus vacated his offlce. Virginia Is, there
fore, to-day in state Of anarchy, wit
no power to aimihister justice or punis
crime. The duty Of the Convention Z

ling is to provide the means Mt once of
securing public order, SO far us may
be, until such times as the loyal peO--
pie, by an uncontrolled vote, acting
in accordance with prescribed legal modes,
can elect officers to govern the State, when
the machinery of government will be set
in motion, we trust never to be again in
terrupted. Probably fourth part of the
population and territory of the State will
Immediately acknowledge their allegiance

pulsion of the traitors enables the Old
Dominion once more to assume an attitude
of loyalty. Not many weeks will prOba
bly, be required to complete this task of
expulsion, and shat accomplished, meas.
ures may be -talren to divide the State ; and
as Northwestern Virginia has shown so
much ardor aud strength in the present
conflict. her wishes for separate govern
ment cannot long be withstOod.

In one of his letters to the Cleveland
Leader from Wheeling, the editor gets off
this card:
When, in the dim and distant future,
some seedy writer for the press, hard
pushed for a subject, attempts to write my
biography, let him not forget to put down,
in the list of benefuctors to his hero, the
name of Barnes. Barnes is the clerk of
the Mcclure House, in the ancient city of
Wheeling, and to him are your correspou-
dent and another quilI-driver indebted for
the "best room in the house," where cool
breezes sweep direct from the river up to
and through our windows, and the best
prevail. THIS, in time
when the town is full and a square foot of
standing room in the hotel is worth a
mortgage on an oil well, is no slight &C.
acknowledgement, the accomplishment of
is due Jointly to Barnes aud newspaper
impudence. There is no Convention to
write about this afternoon, and no news,
which accounts for the above card of
thanks.

hold opinions in opposition TO the opening
of the slave trade, 1t is nevertheless true
THAT the Clausein the Constitutional the
Confederate States which prohibited tho
importation of negroes, was especially and
energetieally resisted by them, because, as
they say, It seemed to be an admission
that Slavery was in itself an evil and
wrong Their whole system rests on
Slavery, and as such they defend it. They
entertain very exaggerated ideas Of the
military strength of their little commnni.
ty, although one may do full Justice to its
military spirit. Out of their whole popu-
lation they cannot reckon more than 6O,-
900 adult men by any arithmetic; and as
there are nearly 10000 plantations which
must be, according to law, superintendent
by white men, considerable number of
those adults cannot be spared from the
State for service in the open field. The
planters boast that they can raise their
crops withour any inconvenience, by the
labor of their negroes, and they seem con-
fident that the negroes will work without
superintendence. But the experiment is
rather dangerous, aud it will only be tried
in the last extremity.

They are the most uniform body of men,
in regard to size and age, that we ever

~ to thirty years; remarkably healthy and
stout in appearance, in fine spirits, and
express themselves as eager for brush

courage of an Indiana Regiment, at the
battle of Buena Vista. This is the Regi-

being presented with "a flag Mt Indianopo-

with uplifted hands, that thy would sa-
credly defeud it, and that they would ere
member Buena Vista"
They are clever, good natured set of
men, mingle freely with our people, and

tons and communicating reformation to
our citizens. With a few exceptions they
are single men. Many of them are veal

maintaining our common government and
defending an insulted flag.
Tho Regiment is uniformed in the Zou-
ave costume, which is very comfortable
and easy one, consisting simply of pants
of grey jeans, with wide legs, extending
below the kIee, with a draw around the
calf of the leg; short jacket of the same
material, bound with red trimming, and a
small blue fatigue cap. They are armed
with the Mimic rife, with a sword bayo-
net, which makes n formidable appear
