THE sECEssIoN OF vrKeINIA.

We clip the following article nom the Yeks-
burg Wkig Of the 18th Instant
We received the following private dispatch
Yesterday morning. It lie from the Hon. sher-
fard Clemens, a membeT Of the Virginia con
vention. Ee lie a Union man, and the dispatch
cannot, therefore, be suspecting Of leaning
too much to the southern side. We presume
| the same policy will be pursued In Virginia
that has been adopted in Arkansas, which lie
to pass the ordinance OF secessioa, 70 take ef-
feet IL ratified BY the people at the polls, and
II rejected then to be Of no effect;
RICHMOND, April 16, 1S6L-Ths Virginia
convention will pass an ordinance Of seees-
sion, and submit it to the people FOR rstifea-
ton or rejection. SHERRARD CLKNEss.
This new has greatly ehssrsd the hearts Of
our people; not that they doubt the success OF
our cause without her, but because Of the de-
sire to enlist all the slave States under the
same banner. II Virginia does not nov de-
eide to link her fortunes with her southern
sisters, when the issue ls forced upon her, OF
so doing, or II srmine her sons for cur SUD
iugstiO1, she vii prove herself unworthy OF
her estsrn motto, sic SempeT tyranntf." We
believe, however, that she viii Join TIE south,
and that the dispatch OF Mr.. Clemens only
! fo~reshadows the Immediate passage OF the or
Z dinapce Of secession.

The Washington correspondent Of the Me-


The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Herald, writes on the 10th:
A few weeks since, a distinguished Demo-
/ crat was requested by Secretary Seward to 20
to Texas, ana ascertain the state Of public
mind there, and especially to converse With
Gov. Houston, and iearR.his views Of the pres
ent secession movement in that State. On
bis return, he reported that Gov. Houston not
only refused to accept military support from
the United States Government, but desire / that
President Lineola should recall the regular
troops from Texas.
He also reported that Gov. Houston urged in
the strongest terms the evacuation OK Forts
Sumter and Pickens, stating that Arkansas
would join Texas In secession in the event Of
coercion, OF even the collection of the revenue
being attempted. Gov. Houston requested to
be let alone, and maintained that the UnioE
party Of the entire South was dead If coercion
was once attempted.
This account appeared to President Lincoln
so much at variance With what was understood
hers to be the opinion Of Gov. Houston. and
knowing the political proelivitles Of the am
bassadors, the President Immediately dis
patched another messenger to Gov. Houston.
and without waiting for his return has sem
forward the troops to Texas.
