vIRGINIA's DELEGATES TO MONTGOMERY


From the following Irctraeted howl in The Ret
vond Ezaminer Of Tuesday, tie blackgusId organ Of
Virginia Secession, it seems that tie fre-eaer have
been beaten iD the Convention:
"Tmorgh the vail Of an injunction Of secrecy the
deeds Cf Convention ne seen by all man NO tnat
cares 10 loOk. Tie action OF yesterdsy the subject
of conversation in every circle; aud 70 the aspilnS
defnncts who compose tie majority Of that memo able
assembly 1t is probable that day Of the whole
sion, not excepting ira on which the Oromsnee OF Be-
cesion wss Iassed, pos es ed more lnieet On yes
terday the Convention selected tie Deegaes of tis
STATE to the Congess If tbe CCLfederscy. As tie g
representatives will be temporary and a there is every
rea. to believe that each emIntni Subni sio 1T in
tie Convention will endeavor TO he elected by the peo
pie, after tnafiiGg, they nave agreed OF fair
start in the general race and baye therefore qhstaned
from eeetBe Themselves 10 the important posts quee
tion. But neither they willing TO give the ad
vantage Of incumbency to tie Iepfeeeua,iye OF the
people and State ia the late Congress Of the Uni ed
States; and TO escape the necessity of doing to they
have ignored NOT erely the men bu' tie ca int
Themselves Virginia will be reDIeserted at Mont
gomeiy by only i've delegies ILese II seems are Sc.
leced frUin tie five Judicial districts Of tie Court OF
Appeals though VIA po,sitie connection csD be
found between The reIreteutaise arrangements Of te
State ami the bench Of the Couri Of Appeal must be left
TO the sDbmssioiist uiid 10 di,cc1er.
"Of e. i've men sele, ted by TIE Convention, Mr.
Hrnier chosen without OPT osti1n. Ills stgtas az
politician and patriot is above snsIici II, but II
enytling could shake lie conhcerCe OF iis party and
COuutrN 1D Lilo N1ftufh OF we tLol
was approved by tlis ConSen,iUD, Wills they voted
down a nomination of lis cora ue Mr. Mafon, W mid
20 far 10 do il. Why Iis myid Gus distinction was
made between tie two SeDstoIs, We are unable 10
perceive. Certsply tie South Lad no champion OF
heavier beoer melle q au Mr.. Mason 10 he late
Congress In the great parl aInen'ary battles that
eloted It, be held his POST with tie resoat on OF n
Roman cent urion and fought the god tgL on every
polLt with tie soul Cf warrior AID the strength oil
gisnt. The regard ia which be b Id by the
Abolition host was singular compound a hatred and
respect.
I" "Bl' this IL not tie oply strnre distinction be-
ieved to have been made by the Convention. Two Of
the StS,s rep'eseI ialves in the Peace Con 'sreDoe
were elected-Rives ard BroekenbrOugh- gh--while Mr.
SeddOn Of the wisest heads and tie most patent
hearts that Virginia CONTAINS tie ird member of the
Peace Conference not in the Convention, nou.i-
mated and rejected. So it seems were Mr.. Jenkias,
an Ab3el always 'G,ithful found 10 the northwest
of the State aud Mr.. Bocock Oh the other eide of IT,
In Their places tie Convention chose SIR Staples
and Mr.. Camden. What tley are, the Convention
only koowa All we can learn Of them is the general
report that they were microscopic, but very venonous
Sqbmissonists some time ago. II they now are any.
tng better, we shall be very glad hut at present il
would appear that this deleetable body that continues
70 rule over US. and will long iule over US has ch
for Vrgnias embassy TO the South three remies AID
two II ends Of the Coniederacy and this will be
1tting fms OF session which should be remembered
- one OF the most remarkable chapters Of parauen-
ssry 'niquity ever recorded In history"
