POSITION OF EK-GOT. WISE.

Ex-Governor Wise, of Virginia, having been written to by gentleman of Columbus, Ga., to define what he means by " fighting in the Union" replies as follows:
 1st. If sovereign State is judge of the in fraction as well as the mode and measure of redress, she may remain in the Union to re- sent or resist wrongs as well as to do so out of the Union.
 2d. If other States have infracted the Union, not she, the State wronged is bound to defend the Constitution and Union among those who have infracted the one and threat ened the other. Logically, the Union be- longs to those who have kept, not those who have broken its covenants.
 Sd. The Union is not an abstraction 1t is a real, substantial thing, embracing many es- sential and vital political rights and proper ties. It has nationality, lands, treasure, or ganizaton of army and navy, ships dock yards arsonals, etc, etc. Shall we renounce these rights and possessions because wrong doers attempt to deprive us of our rights Is 1t not cowardly to renounce one right to save another? Are these rights not as precious as the mere right of property in negroes. But,
 4th. If you secede, you not only rcnounce the Union and its possessions, but you fail to unite your own people because you do re- nounce these rights. Wake man up to de- stroy the Union and Constitution, and he will stare at you and turn away. But tell him that the Constitution is infracted and the Union threatened by Black Republicans, and call him to aid you in defending both against those who would destroy both, and he will act heartily with you
 5th Then how is this to be done? The 3rd clause of the 10th section of the lst ar ticle of the Constitution of the United States permits State to keep troops and ships of war in time ofpeace and to engage in war when actually invaded, or when in such inn minent danger as will not admit of delay. Now, are we not actually invaded? Is our danger not imminent? Does in admit of de- lay /? May not sovereign State so decided 9th. And what is the difference Will 1t not be revolution and war in either event?
 say. then, stick to your rights, renounce none, fight for all and save all! Yours truly, &c.,

MAJOR ANDERSON-As one of the mem- berS of the Anderson family Is at this time somewhat prominent in the public attention, 1t may not be uninteresting to the country to know little of the antecedents of the gallant gentleman. Maj. Andersons father and mother were both Nirginians-the former
 Richard c. Anderson, a Lieutenant-C Colonel in the Continental army at the end of the Revolutionary war, and the latter a Miss Mar shall, cousin of Chief-Justice Marshall. While captain, this officer led the little band into New Jersey on the memorable Christmas night of 1776, which threw the Iessian forces, at Trenton, of their guard, when the grand attack was made In this battle he was one of the few officers who was wounded. He Was also in the battle of Brandywine, and in other sections in the North. But his services Tn the South are of more interest 10 Us at als tine He was at the seige of Savannah Tn l77a and he endeavored to scale the ram- parts, but was thrown, or fell from such a
 height that he met with an injury by the shock from which he never recovered. On the dtath of the gallant Pulaski, he received, as gift from the gallant hero, his sword, which was for long time in the possession of the family, but was unfortunately lost by the burning of house, in which it was de- posted. In l7S0, the Colonel-then Ma jor-endured the seige of Charleston. South Carolina, and was of course taken prisoner. remaining there in that condition for several months, but being exchanged in time to be present at the seige and capture of York On thls occasion he served as an aid to Gen. La iaayette, who Git may be remembered by many cltzens of Louisville, recognized the Colonel on ms last visit to this country, on his arrival at Portland, and his old friend and companion In arms.

 cF THE LEGISLATURE
RICHMOND. VA. Jan !. IS

hlCHAOND VA, Jan, (, lcOl.
 The Virginia Legislature met here today
 The portion of Gov Letcher's message re- latng to federal affairs was read. A motion in the House to have fifteen hundred copies of the message printed, elicited strong denun- ciatory remarks upon 1t from John I. Ander- son of Botetout, and Mr. Jones of Appomatox, both of whom opposed the motion to print, on the ground that ii they voted for it they might be regarded as endorsing its sentiments. In view, however, that twenty five hundred copies of Gov. Wise's last message was ordered to be printed, the House looked upon the defeat of this motion as too marked discourtesy to Gov Fletcher, and 1t was therefore agreed to-.
 Mr. Anderson denounced the message as a firebrand thrown in to divide Virginia when every patriotic impulse admonished unity of sentiment and action.
 Mir. Benjamin Barsell, of Upshur, offered the following resolution in the House of De- puties to-day:
 Resolved By the General Assembly of Virginia, That the union being formed by the assent of the States respectively, and being consistent only with freedom and the repub- lican institutions guaranteed to each, cannot and ought not to be maintained by force; that the Government of the Union has no power
