Baptist Convention, on the state of the country,
is lengthy, able and patriotic document. 1t ap-
proves of the Southern Confederacy, and tenders
to the Government at Montgomery its sympathy
and confidence, and recommends the churches Of
the South to observe the first and second days of
June as days of fasting, humiliation and prayer
1t borrows additional interest from the pen Of that
able divine and true patriot, DIR Fuller, who
though citizen of the old Union, under temporary
cCmpulsion, gives all the sympathies Of his heart
to the South in her present struggles.
1t will form bright spot in their history, and
be an honor to them for all generations to come

WESTERN EIRGINIA-We stated last week
that the Tory Convention which assembled at
Wheeling, Va, had adjourned to meet on the 11rh
Of June, when effort will be made to form a
new State, if the movers are not caught and hung
before that time. The following dispatch explains
the traitorous movements:
WHEELING, May 16.-The Central Committee
of Safety met this morning, John s. Garlic pre-
siding. After an expression of sentiment, it was
found to he unanimous in favor of holding the
Convention on the 11th of June. Delegates to be
elected on the 4tl. The separate State move
meiit also received the endorsement of the Cen
tTal Committee. They require arms, ammunition
fand money from friends OF the Union to encourage
and sustain them. Capt. VIM. Craig, United
States Army, mustered in a company to-day
One company from Wesburg landed at Wheeling
Island with and ammunition. Arms have
been supplied to forces already the Island,
amounting to some 800. Much depends upon the
policy Of the Administration in regard to organ
izing the State If the right of separa-
ton is acknowledged, the fact is established,
less the secession element in Western Virginia is
more fully aroused than it is now. A full regi-
nlent will be in camp at this place in few days

A BRITISH FLEET IN THE GULF-The arrival
of the Karnak from Havana, via Key West, at
New York on Friday, brings intelligence of great
importance. The British feet, which Lord John
Russell announced in the House of Commons the
other day as having been despatched to the Gulf
Of Mexico to look after British interests, is report

Little Rock Arkansas, says:
Capt. Albert Pike has been commissioned by
the Southern Confederacy to raise and equip a
regiment of Indians for instant service The Cap
tain is an idol with the Indians border.
He has secured to them so many comforts aud
they arc so fond of him, that he has often been
urged by them TO become their chief, and he can
readily procure a command of five thousand of
them if it be necessary. He goes at once to the
nation.
THE REMAINS OF WAsHINGToN.-The state
ment Circulated in the newspapers) that the re-
mains Of Gen. Washington have been removed
from Mount Vernon to Lexington, is entirely in
correct.
KENTUCKY-Gov. Magofin has issued proc
lamation notifying and warning all other States
whether separate or united especially the | nted
States and Confederate States, against any move
ment upon the soil of Kentucky, or the occupa-
ton of any port post place within the limits OF
Kentucky, by any forces Of the aforesaid States,
for any purpose whatever until authorized by the
LEGISLATURE and the Executive.
LIFE IN THE NoRTH-A friend, yesterday.
told us of the case of daughter Of Macon, I'M
fortunately widow and resident in New Jersey,
who was, few Sundays ago, ordered out OF church
by the parson for the offence of being born in the
South The poor and inoffensve woman, now in
destitute circumstances, publicly insulted in
Gods House, and might have been maltreated,
but for one courageous gentleman, who took
position by her side, and proclaimed that he had
at least six shots at her service to defend her from
wrong and injury Ga, Telegraph.
How THE GOVERNMENT WILL COLLECT THE
REyENUE.-It appears that the Government is
steadily carrying out its programme of action as to
the rebel States 1t has determined to appoint
collectors for the different Southern ports, and is
engaged in selecting men OF energy-whose names
we ut present withhold-adapted to fulfil the i'm
portaut functions confded to them. The duties
will be collected on the decks of men-of-war, what
ever NAV be the opinions of legal authority here
or elsewhere on the subject. Washington paper.
