ADJOURNMENT O. THE VIRGINIA LEGISIA-
TuRE.--On Thursday, Speaker Crutchfeld
delivered his vaiciictory in terms appro-
pirate ard ntitctiUuate, c;mplimen5ing the
members On their labors and the officers on
their efficiency and t;.iiliuIneS<. Durruss,
Worth and the assistants, iIe said, were the
best Sergean,-at.arms and Door-kccpers he
ever had. Many eyes were moist. But
the most touching sight was the little page,
sitting Near the Speakers leet, wipng rhe
tears with his fist and spreading large cir
Gle Of dirt over each cheek. Gordon, the
Clerk, was really eloquent, end his very
handsome compliment to the Speaker, who
had SO long adorned his high position, was
appreciated by all present. The hand .shak-
ing and learc taking was universal. In six
Or seven years observation | have never
seen better or deeper feeling at the adjourn
ment eta Legislature. The Governor enter
tanned large crowd of the members after
wards, and tcw minutes ago the dis united
wisdom was dissi pated throughout the city,
to assemble all together, no more forever.

As to the last there can be no doubt. The

The INDIANs-The meeting in behalf of
the Indians, held in Trinity Church on the
18th inst, WAS organized by the appointment
of Father Beeson as chairman. After re-
marks by the Chairman, Larooqua sang one
OF her sou-stirring songs. Father Beeson
then gave a statement OF facts relative to
the frauds and cruelty inflicted upon the
frontier Indians, which, for enormity, seems
incredible. But his statements were corro-
borated and sustained by Dr.. White, form

The Lynchburg Flrglnlan says: Some
Of the secession organs are publishing with
evident delight, an article from the New
York Tribune of March Both, ridiculing the
efforts of Virginia TO restore the Union, and
declaring that no ultimatum, containing
nroposition 10 amend the Constitution, that
NAV be submitted by Virginia, will be ac-
ceptable to the North. The policy of the
Tribune is to forestall aay action Of the kind

slave States; and the design Of the preclpl-
tatcrs in parading the insolent fulmlnatlons
Of this abolition knave is Ito fire the South
ern heart" and drive US into immediate
secession" The Northern ''Disunion!sts'
are all at the game of driving the ~hotc
South into secession. They 'cant Great
Northern Confcderacy." If they continue
their present course, they may accomplish
their purpose, and have their hearts desire,
sooner, possibly, than they now expect
After that, we shall see. In all that const-
tutes real strength, not only power Of reslS-
lance, but means of retaliation, the South
has nothing to fear, in a contest, with any
foe. The Northern Confederacy, which the
Northern Disunionists wish to 'inaugurate,"
would in short time dvindle down to New
England; and New York and her neighbors
would establish government Of their own
The people Of the North may be assured
that the Disunionists among them, (the ul-
tras, the black republican political leaders,
the favorers of hostilities, the preachers Of

the secession of the Border States for the
sake of Northern Confederecy) are their
worst enemies, and, if successful, will bring

the matter Of Southern States Right party,
and the propriety of srperseding the old
Democratic organization by the new party
and comes to the conclusion, "that q more
fatal stab could not, at the present juncture
be given to every vital interest OF Virginia
or the South" 1t concludes its dissertation
by expressing the opinion that Virginia
should withdraw from the old federal Union
and that ain the coming election the Demo-
cratic party should make this the issue, anc
stand or fall with its success or defeat. -
This is coming up squarely.

THE CITY.

TROUBLE IN TIE WIND.--0n Thursday Of
last week an occurrence took place neay
Camp Wade, which but for the prompt inter
ference of the psliee might have resulted
seriously. The wife ofa resident on Kinsman
Street, accompanied by a friend, was going
home on the street cars, and when, after
reaching their destination they were alight-
ing, member of the 45th Regiment, who
was also in the cars, said pleasantly, as they
passed out, "GoOd night, ladies'" The ex-
preston was taken by those to whom it was
addressed as insulting, and the husband of
one of the ladies informed as soon as they
had reached home. He, accompanied by
another man, pursued and overlook the car,
and gave the soldier severe beating. One
or two others also were, We are informed,
knocked down in the melee. The remainder
Of the 45th, Of whom there we're some three
hundred in camp, felt highly indignant lat
the assault upon one Of their number, aud
threatened to revenge themselves by tearil,g
down the house Of the citizen. They discov-
cred and seized the friend who accompanied
the latter, but by ample apologies and
promises, he was allowed to depart IN
harmed. In consequence of the threats of
destroying the house, large police force
have since been stationed about it, and thus
far they have succeeded in preventing any
difficulty. Last night it was found that
another and more serious attempt would be
made, some Of the iOldiers having been
overheard to intimate as much. The police
were, consequently, on hand in extra force,
but up to ten o'clock nothing had traAspirsdI
and it is probable that the matter will bS
carried no iurther.

AEoFHER OF TIE GRATs PASSED AWAY
We regret to announce the death of Mr..
Nelson P. Cutter, Of this city, who expired
last Saturday at the residence of his father,
o. Cutter, Esq. Mr.. Cutter wan a young
man of excellent character and was univer-
sally esteemed by alargs circle of acquaint-
ances.
When the President issued his proclama-
ton in April last, calling for rs, 900 men for
three months service, young Cutter was
among the first who volunteered. He went
with the Grays to Lancaster, Pa, and while
encamped there, contracted that fatal scourge,
consumption. He was confined to the hos
pitsl for some two months, but recovered
sufficiently to be removed to his home, but
only that he might die surrounded by loved
friends.
The funeral will be attended from the res
idence of his father on Perry street, this af-
ternOOn at 2 o'clock.
