A Reign of Terror I'm Richmond. .

The Richmond disunionists, not content
with the virulent abuse which their disunion
newspapers are showering upon al friends
of the Union in the Virginia Convention,
have inaugurated system of mob violence
against those gentlemen when they appear
on the streets. Hardly one of them can now
venture out, without expecting to be insult
ed by misses and SCOTS from the street mob,
which under their auspices have apparent
ly taken as complete possession Of the city
as the Plugs ever had of Baltimore in times
past. rr~t
The upshot of their proceedings is that in
stead of succeeding in overawing the repre-
sentatives Of the people of the State in the
Convention, they are fixing them more firm
ly than ever against succumbing to the pur-
poses of those who propose to govern Virgin
ia hereafter after that fashion-the fashion
now prevalent in the seceeded States, where,
to speak and act in favor Of the Union as
made by our. fathers is now adjudged q
crime worthy Of the punishment of death,
according to the threats Of their disunion
press and orators.
We rejoice that disunionism has thus early
exposed its true characteristics and purposes
in Virginia. The sixty thousand majority
cast by the people of the Old Dominion
against it few weeks since, will not be q cir
cumstance to the majority with which the
conspirators against free speech, a free press,
American popular liberty, and the future Of
white labor in the South, will be overwhelm-
ed in Virginia's approaching Congressional
elections, under the influence of the popular
knowledge Of what disunion really means, as
SO forcibly cxemplifed by the reign of terror
sought to be inaugoreted at Richmond, as
explained above. 6 ,--sseN;s si-,
The Virginia Convention, we can now
state positively, will not pass an ordinance of
secession. Elected ian overwhelming ma
jority of the body) to protect and secure the
liberties of the people Of the State, they now
realize unmistakably wherein lies the real
existing danger to Virginia. That it surely
lies in placing the liberties Of the people in
the hands of the small minority of the State,
who to secure the future supremacy of the
Governmental ideas of the Hon. Mr.. Spratt,
of South Carolina, in Virginia, essay the
Richmond indignities and terrorism agains
the people representatives-means signally
worthy of their aim; rather than in continu
ing Virginia under the Government which
up to this hour has aggressed upon herin No
particular, and has been the author of bless
ings innumerable enjoyed by her people :

Panama, by order of Gen. Sumner, by troops
under his command. Papers compromising
them with secessiouists were found aboard.
Some OF Gwin's friends at Panama applied TO
the government to annul the arrests on the
ground that they were made on New Grena'
dian waters, and that foreign governments
have no right to transport political prisoners.
Gen. Herran, who is an intimate friend of
Gwins, also used his influence, and the gov
ernment has issued an order prohibiting the
conveyance of prisoners across the lsthmus,
and large force of soldiers have been sent to
that station to release the prisoners as soon as
they laud. The United States consul general
was aboard the same, and it was finally decided
