wheeling Convention.

WHEELING, Va, May A.-ConveRtion assem-
bled at IL o'clock. Larger attendance than yes
terday Prayer by Rev. Smith. Journal read,
and after some corrections, among which was
striking out Frederick county.
Chair announced the business before the Con.
vention the report of the Committee on
State and Federal relations.
Mr. Wiley of Monongahela, rising to ques-
ton of privilege, said he had been misunder-
stood yesterday as favoring postponement of
action, until ordinance OF secession was voted
on. He only differed with Carlisle, who favors
immediate action as to the course to be pursued.
The committee not being ready to report,
Jackson of Wood moved to adjourn till 2 O'clock.
but Withdrew to enable Col. Wheat of Ohio to
present resolutions, which, he said he did on his
own responsibility, to be referred to Committee
on State and Federal relations, condemnng the
action of the State Convention, referring par.
ticulary to the ordinance of secession, the sche-
dule attached to the ordinance, and transfer of
the State to the Southern Conf.dercv
This was followed by a resolution of Mr.. Car
Isle, insttucting the committee on State and
Federal relations to report ordinance deelar.
Ing the connecting counties comprising the 10th
and 1lth Congressional districts, including the
county Of Wayne, dissolved, and also to report
a declaration Of independence with Constitu-
ton for new State, to DO called "New Virgin
ia"
Col. Wheat objected, on the ground Of fore
stalling the action of both committees and the
Convention, as all debate on such resolutions
was prohibited.
debate ensued between Carlisle, Wiley,
jackson and Wheat. Finally Carlisle modified
his resolutions so as to read, asking the commit
tee to report the expediency OF such an ordi.
nance.
The resolution was then adopted, referring all
suggestions rendering to action of the Conven-
ton to a committee on State and Federal rela.
tons, without debate or explanation.
Gen. Jacksonis motion to adjourn till 2 o'clock
then came up and was carried.

Message Of Gov. Andrew.

BosToN, May IA special session of the
Massachusetts, Legislature met at noon to day.
Gov. Andrews message is exceedingly patfi
otto, and gives detailed account of the action
of the Commonwealth. he says this is no war
OF sections, no war Of the North on the South;
it is not waged to avenge former wrongs; nor
to perpetuate ancient griefs or memories Of
conflict hut it is the struggle of the people to
vindcate their own rights; TO retain and invig
crate the ins,itutions.of their. fathers and ma
jestic effort of the National government to vim
dictate its power and execute its functions for the
welfare and happiness OF the people.
After speaking of financial affairs of the State,
he says, commissionary letters of credit for fifty
thousand pounds had been sent in April to Eu-
rope to purchase the most efficient arms for the
State; says when Congress meet they will doubt
less relieve us from paying duty.
Another recommendation is the establishment
OF a State encampment for military instruction;
he recommends loan to meet expenses of the
emergency, and suggests that the scrip be partly
issuable in sums of 80 dollars to 100 dollars,
and that small capitalists may share in the in
veStment.
The message concludes by saying heavy res
possibilities have fallen, in the providence of
God, upon this government and people; and they
are welcome. They could not have been safely
postponed; they have not arrived too soon; they
will sift and try this people, and all who follow;
but this trails given us to revive our past, and
will! breathe the inspiration OF new life into our
national character, and re. assure the destiny OF
the republic.

Col. Anderson I'm New York.

New YoRK, May ia dispatch to Simeon
Draper, to-day, from Washington, says all regi-
ments enlisted for the war should be immediate
ly forwarded This dispatch will be acted on
promptly.
Col Anderson visited the Board of Brokers
this D. m. He was introduced by j. R. Garland,
to which the Col. replied in substance as fol-
lows: He said he not in the habit of ma.
king speeches, but his reception was so iatter-
ing that he must say something. The situation
he had been placed in he would willingly have
shrunk from on account of the responsibility,
but Providence had placed him in the stustion
and he had tried to do his duty. Since the fall
Of Fort Sumter he had received very bitter let
tiers from the South on account of his refusal to
join his destiny with theirs He had never writ
ten or said anything to indicate that he would
unite with the South At the outset of the sla-
very troubles he did sFmpathizc with the South
ern friends thinking there vas MUCH Northern
interference with the subject; that if slavery
was an evil it attached to the South alone. At
the present crisis neither slavery or party poll
ties had anything to do with the subject The
question IL, Government or no Government
and he felt satisfied that when the present ordeal
was passed we shall be again happy and united
people.
This address was received with the most
hearty cheers. He seemed very earnest through
out and his words flowed as if they came from the
heart

is constitutional disease, faint, or -orrup.
ton Of the blood, by which this fluid be-
comes vitiated, weak, and poor. Being in
the circulation, it pervades the whole body,
and may burst out in disease on any part of it.
No organ is free from It's attacks, nor is there
one which it may not destroy. The serofulous
faint is variously caused by mercurial disease,
low living, or disordered or unhealthy food,
impure air. filth and filthy habits, the de-
pressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal
infection. Whatever be its origin, it Is heredi-
tary in the constitution, descending from par
ents " to children unto the third and fourth
generation; indeed, it seems to be the rod
of Him who says, 81 will visit the iniquities
Of the fathers upon their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tlfbercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor.
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies Of life. so that scrofulous constitu-
tons not. only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, Of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking con-
tamination, and their health is undermined by
it. To cleanse it from the.system we must
senovate the blood by an Alternative medicine,
and invigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill Of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t is COM

recovered one thousand stand of arms from the

bad condition. They cannot manufacture more
