strong fpeecl was made ir the Convention yester.
day by Mr. Moore Of Rockbrdge in Letchers district
the substance of which was iumical to the rights Of
Virginia the whole South and the people Of Richmond
II was decidedly Union in lie tendency, and strongly
agtns, the action Of South Carolina.
Tie Secessionisis posted bills calling every true
Sou,hoper TO attend an indignation meeting Music
was engaged; fifteen hundred pegsOns assembled near
the Exchange Hotel, and strong Southern speeches
were made by delegates 10 the Convention. EK-tioy
Wise was called for, but was unwell.
The meeting adjourned to the spouswood House,
where more speeches were made. An attempt TO bum
Mr. Moore in effgy made, but was stopped by the
Mayor.
The whole decided secession demonstration was got
ten up by parties in the negro business, and selling ill.,
terests.
The Virginia State Convention reassemblcd this fore
noon.
Mr.. Moores resolutions were taken up.
Mr.. Goode finished his speech in reply TO Mr. Moore
lie affirmed tina, it was the duty Of Virginia in this
trying hour to 20 with the South the only mehed Of
restoring peace to the country.
Mr.. Goggn read series Of resolutions which no
said he proposed to offer. Tie resolutions declare that
the Southern States should have proposed amendments
10 the Constitution in pursuance OF the ON article OF
thai instrument; that i, is the duty Of Virginia now to
invoke the cooperation of the Border States and TO pro
vide measures for concurrent action hercaferi that
Virginia Is attached to the Union ir0S, but that as
it Is it does not protect her rights that becomes her
people in convention to look TO every remedy for rele
and 10 provide in the event Of failure, for the future
relations she will occupy, having due regard to her
position m one Of the Southern States.
Mr. Goggin made long speech in support Of his re-
solutions lie denied the constitutional right oil Ne
cession but he admitted there was revolutionary
remedy for wrongs. lie wanted consultation with the
Border States to form u confederacy, and to invite
others to join. He opposed precipitate action, but
whenever Virginia went oat of the Union he would
20 with her. He believed that Virginia would be in
secure in tie present Southern Coniederaey, but the
reiod for conference with the North has now passed.

The Washington correspondent of The Express
gives the following new account OF the reason
why Mr.. Lincoln went to Washington by night
instead of by day:
Tbe early arrival here on Saturday OF Mr. Lincoln was
brongh nbon, nv tho condition Of things the Peace Conyen
tion Dnst hes were received from Richmond Va announcing
that the Union men would have to submit to Secession unless
information was them immediately Of what would be the
probable result Of final the report OF the Committee
The yrsnans were informed that the report would be passed
but without the great State OF NewYok As this deemed
unsatisfactory by the Union of Virginia Lincoln tee
grsphed TO come Washington Immediately. This he did and
no at the hotel at H. by Senator Seward who
briefly related him the Of affairs. Mr. Lincoln up the
present has consented authorize Senator Seward speak
by authority In favor Of the report but Il thought by those
best acquainted with him tina: he viii do to-day
With this Gen James and two Others Of the Radicals
viii the side Of the Conservative aud thus Secure
EsvYork and place her where she properly beonon the
side Of justice aud rehdeaing with all her sister Sstes
When Mr.. Lincoln authorizes anybody to speak
in his name in behalf Of any scheme for the ex-
tension of Slavery, we have no doubt that New
York viii Immediately 20 over to the Democratic
party as this writer anticipates. But We don't
believe either Of these miraculous transformations
will take place before the other.

-, the British demand begins TO decline COT
80 nav be said to be her sole dependence.
s,.o.t Il suddenly from under her, and unless
..ved BIZ pew forms of industry as suddenly 10
,,e.ticated. she must sink into trightiul III
soveney.
This downward progress of the South, now
even there admitted as an existing fact Is no
rev thing. II began to operate from the mo-
n,eut the Constitution was adopted, when commerce
and manufactures took rank as interests ehIll'eu
TO national protection. From that moment the
North sprung forward on her mighty march 10
greatness and the South ceased 70 au'ance'
For many years, the progress OF the one, anu inc
want of progress in the other, attracted no gem
ers, notice from Government or people. but
with, ten years the contrast has become roo
atrikinr TO be longer disregarded. The time was
when Charleston imported foreign iaprlcs ioi
Philadelphia merchants. Her imports, within
century, have declined nearly one-hali; WINE
those Of Philadelphia are now nearly ten times
greater than those of Charleston in l7oV. Inc
total annual products of Pennsylvania are worm
Sl6O. 600 600, while those of South Carolina are
only 50 600 600. In 1870 this State contained but
go 100 inhabitants, while Virginia contained
z48OOO. In 1860, Virginia had increased to
] 500 100, but New-York had grown to 3,S5l, 563.
Tn 1870, the exports Of Virginia exceeded those
OF New. York; but the latter now exports more
ia single month than Virginia does in a whole
wear. While New-York has risen by commerce
and manufactures to the wealth and power of an
empire. Virginia has degenerated into vast
plantation for the breeding Of human beings for
the purposes of lust and bondage. Free-Trade
and Slavery combined are at the bottom of these
astonishing results. No other causes for the
South continuing poor can be detected but these.
As the North cut loose from Slavery she began to
thrive, Free-Trade and Slavery are synonymous
they go together, labor together, and, if the
brotherhood is continued they will perish together.
The former impOverishes as certainly as the latter
debsuches the people who cherish it. The South
might exist for centuries with Slavery alone; but
it is the phantom of Free-Trade-that keeps
her door.

The Peace" Convention to-day voted down
It's own bantling, which was the Crittenden
Amendment eighty smoOthed down through the
agency of Messrs. Guthrie and Franklin. Viz
rinia, North Carolina, and Missouri voted with
the backbone Republicans against it. 1t was
revived by a motion to reconsider, but exhibits
low state of vitality. 1t is hoped the COnven'
ton will adjourn tomorrow
THE CABINET.
The Cabinet remains in doubt, but the In
clusion of Messrs. Chase, WeDes, and Cameron
is by many considered certain. Tomorrow ought
to clear up all doubt.
The crowd here is immense and increasing.
WASHINGTON Tuesday, Feb. 2G, 1851.
FORT SUMTER.
Information from the highest sources in Charles
ton give assurance that no immediate attack IL
meditated on Fort Sumter. Gov. Pickens has
restrained any denomination thus far, and was
Glad to be relieved Of further responsibility by
the action at Montgomery. Major Anderson
writes that no unusual preparations have been
apparently suspended.
GOV. CHASE AND CONCESSION.
Governor Chase is represented in some Of the
papers as having expressed Willingness in his
opening speech in the Peace Convention to fol
low wherever Virginia should lead; and the in
ference has been drawn therefrom that be too
was taking the concession tack. II is but simple
Justice to say there is not the slightest founda-
ton for the inference. In Convention, Mr..
Chase has been courteous in his department, and
has used such language as BELTS his character
and position. To ex-President Tyler he has
been considerable and attentive, as the old
est representative Of Virginia in the
COnvsntioD, and as gentleman .; h .ish
public position in the past. But for the
belief that Mr.. Chase is in the slightest degree
! 5peE to the reproaeh Of having deyiated from
the straight line of strict fidelity to his antece-
dents and his principles there is not particle
of foundation. Indeed, il seems wholly super
fuous to make the denial. 1t certainly Is so to
those who know him. When the Legislature OF
Minnesota were asked to send Commissioners to
the Conference to oppose compromise, somebody
made objection saying that it had been reported
nat Gov. Chase ksA turned compromiser; and if
he had done it, it was - no use 10 undertake 10
rely upon anybody else. 1t Ses evident The OBJ
jector knew Gov. Chase.
THE CABINET.
The Cabinet is still unsettled, and the pro-
gramme will remain undetermined until the
Treasury Department is decided. All active in-
terest now concentrates on that point. Mr.. Lin.
coin las partially heard the friends Of Gov.
Chase and Gen. Cameron, who are the rival
roses, all day. Committees, delegations, parti-
sans, and patriots, crowded the hotel from early
morning and are of this late hour still fOckiDg
there. They have been received by appointments
distributed through almost every hour. Each in
terest retires convinced that its candidate will
succeed. There is strong disposition now
among large interest TO compromise on DIR.

GEN. TWIGGS'S TREASON.
A PREMEDITATED AFFAIR.
THE TROOPS REMAIN LOYAL.
Special Dispatch to The N. Y. Tribune.

opecial Dispatch 10 The NJ l. Inpuho' -, 80,
WAsHIYGToy, Tuesday, Feb. 26, 1861.
The dispatches received at the War Depart
ment, in regard to Gen. Twiggs'S surrender OF
his command in Texas, were predicted upon
Newspaper accounts received at New Orleans,
and telegraphed here. No information from any
of the officers has yet been obtained. 1t is known,
officially, that he appointed Board, consisting
of Major Vinton, Major Maclin, and Capt.
Whitley on the 9th of February, representing
the Quartermasters Paymaaers, and ordnance
branches which covered all the public property
under his charge, to meet the Texas COininis-
sioners in regard to its disposition. This step
which was designed to clothe the betrayal OF his
trust with some pretense Of military Formally
was probably taken before he received the leave
of absence which had been granted by Mr.. Holt.
The War Department believes notwithstanding
Gen. Twiggs's treachery, that the troops will not
submit to the arrangement, but VIII march 10
the coast, under the command of faithful offcers,
and find means of transportation home. 1t IS
hardly possible to infect an army Of 5000 men.
When Texas moved in the direction OF seces-
sion, Mr. Holt ordered the Daniel Webster which
carried transports to Key West and Tortugas, to
proceed to Galveston and convey six or eight
companies collected there TO reinforce Fort Iay-
Tor and TOrtugas in part, and other forts else
where. That order has doubtless been executed
Other orders were issued calling in the troops
from the interior of Texas, but were probably
intercepted and destroyed. A special messenger
was recently sent 10 repeat them in person. This
fact will become known at all the posts, and it
IL hoped Gen. Twiggs's base conduct may be thus
neutrazed.
Capt. Myers sOnu.aw Of Gen. Twiggs, be-
trayed the public property at New-Orleans in the
same way. So it was evidently preconeerted
plan throughout. As soon as these facts are Off
cally verified, the President will strike General
Twiggs's name from the roll of the army, which
he has disgraced as soldier and man.
