through Mr.. Stephens, has concluded a conven.
ton with Virginia, which has united her powers
and fortunes with us. He has satisfactory as
surance that other Southern States will soon
stake their fortunes with ours. He SAYS the
most of the executive departments are in success

affairs.
In conclusion he cOngratulates the Confeder-
acy ON the patriotic devotion exhibited by the
people of the Conlederacy.
The railway companies propose liberal rates
for the transportation Of mails and will receive
in compensation the bonds of the Confederacy
He says Il people thus united and resolved
cannot fail of final success. Our cause is lust
and holy and we protest solemnly in the face of
mankind, that we desire peace at any sacrifice
save that of honor and Independence. We seek
no cOnquest-no agrandizement-no concession
from the free States; all we ask is, to be let alone
that none shall attempt our subjugation by
arms. This we must and will resist to the dir
est extremity. The moment this intention is
abandoned, the sword will drop from our grasp
and we shall be ready to enter into treaties Of
amity and commerce mutually beneficial So
long AS this pretention is maintained with firm
reliance ON Divine power which covers with
its protection the just cause, we will continue to
struggle for our inherent right to freedom indie
pendence and self government.
