SUICIDE OF AN OFFIcER.-The Suffolk
Sun OF Thursday makes the following sad n
I'VE record with a sorrowful heart tbe
OF Capt. Christopher F. Fisher, the comm
OF the Petersburg Cavalry, who died under
most melancholy circumstances. For y
days Capt F.'s company had been staiGs

privates of his company, discovering his .
condition, consented to accompany him r

Action of Maryland House of Delegates.

HAGERsTOwN, Nd, June 1.-Two reasons
are assigned for the non advance of Gen. Patter.
sons division: First, that the Legislature is
in session at Frederick and that column from
Washington must come by that route. They
hope that the Legislature will adjourn this
week. And the Government desires to keep
the troops out of Maryland till after the Con-
gressional action to morrow.
The action of the Maryland House of Dele
gates in instructing their U. S. Senators to vote
for the recognition of the Southern Confeder-
acy, has excited deep resentment among the
Union men i'll this part of Maryland. Many say
that the Federal Government ought to dispense

wessern virginia Convention.

WHEELING. June lathe Western Virginia
Convention met in this city yesterday and after
effecting temporary organization adjourned TO
meet this morning at 10 o'clock. About forty
counties were represented. Delegates were APP
portioned to each county on the basis Of its rep
resentation in the Legislature.
Arthur J. Foreman, of Wood County, was
chosen permanent Chairman. Ie delivered .
patriotic address on taking his seat, reviewing
the action Of the Richmond Convention and the
Ordinance of Secession and exhorting members
to firm, decided and thorough action.
The delegations from the different counties
were sworn in BY the following oath:
We solemnly declare that We will support the
Constitution Of the United States and the laws
made in pursuance thereof as the supreme law OF
the land, anything in the ordinances of the Con.
vention that assembled in Richmond, on the
18th of February, to the contrary notwithstand.
ing, 80 help US God.
The taking of this oath by each delegation
was very impressive and convinced all specta.
tors that the Convention meant business.
The programme marked out by the Conven-
ton seems to be Provisional Government for
the whole State, the deposition of the present
State authorities who are in rebellion and an en-
tire reorganization of the municipal govern
ment
No diversity of sentiment on this programme
has been heard among the members
Mr. Carlisle offered resolution, which was
unanimously adopted, rendering thanks to Gen.
Mcclellan for sending Federal troops into West
ern Virginia; commencing the gallant conduct
of the troops at Phillippi, and complimenting
the bravery of Col. B. +. Kelly, Of the lst Vir-
ginia Regiment.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Mr.. Dorsey of Monongahela offered resolu-
ton declaring it shall be part of the business
of this Convention to make the requisite and
preparatory arrangements for separation from
Virginia, and the formation of a new State CON-
posed of the counties represented here. Said
preliminary arrangements, when completed, to
be submitted to the Legislature now convened
in this city, as the only loyal and legitimate
Legislature of Virginia, thence to the Congress
of the United States.
This mode is preferable to reconstructing the
government Of Virginia, as equally legal, and
relieves from overburdenng the State debt, no
part of which Western Virginia owes in equity,
or no less disastrous consequences of repudia-
ton
These resolutions. at the request of several
members, were withdrawn for the present.
After the appointment of committee of Is
to prepare business, Convention adjourned to
meet at 10 tomorrow.
