RICHMOND, March 14.-Tyler closed his
speech to-day. He demanded that Vir-
ginia require an ultimatum demanding full
and ample security as the only condition of
remaining in the Union. He thought such
security would eventually bring back the
cotton states and Virginia cannot exist
without them. The speech was generally
conciliatory but unequivocally favored
Southern rights.
The Propositions were referred to COM
mittee.
The report of the committee on federal
relations will be taken up tomorrow.

From the Regular Correspondent OF ne Evening Post,


WASHINGTON, Jan. {, 1861.
Compromise is dying daily. All out
side influences and appeals thus far have
been wasted, aud Mr.. Weed who has been
here n day or two, returns without finding
any Republican to agree with him.
To which We replied
If the chances of an adjustment by
means of which the Union men Of the
Border States may be encouraged and for.
tilted, are "dying daily" We have only
to express our renewed regrets. or the
di>inclination of Republicans in Congress
to entertain propositions Of adjustment,
there is sufficient evidence in the reports
of their proceedings. Lightly, however,
as "outSide appeals" may he regarded,
We venture to express the opinion that,
instead of standing, as the Republican
side of Congress has done, for five weeks,
parrying propositions, there would have
been wisdom in assuming an affirmative
attitude. The Importance Of the Ques-
tions involved--thc magnitude of the inter
eStS nt Stakc-the fcarfnlnesS of the con-
tlict that approaches-are sufficient, in
our judgment, to have justified fore
ward movement.
But large number Of the Republican
Members of Congress are content to stand
upon their principles and their arms.
They say, truly, that in all the past they
have discharged only their duty; tina
instead Of aggrcssions upon Slavery, they
have resisted its aggrcssions that they
have elected a Republican President in o
calm, peaceful, constitutional manner
that this constitutes no reason or excuse
for Secession; that having wrongrcd M
body, they have nothing to redress; tina
instead Of concessions" or guarantees
to wrong-docrs, they will leave them tC
the fate they have provoked and tina
above all, they will not temporize with
Treason, negotiate with Traitors, or parlcy
with men whose Cannon are leveled anC
whose MusketS are aimed at them.
Now in all this we concur heartily. -
Suggestions Of "compromisc" refer wholly
to another class Of citizens-a class truly
devoted to the Union and anxious to &,
with us to the struggle to uphold it. Blu
it il useless 10 repeat the argument Tht
Republican Members Of Congress ough
and perhaps do understand the who'll
matter best. At any rate the power t
act is with them, while the right Of think
ing belongs to their constituents"
And finally, Congress ad djOurned, having
done and said nothing to strengthen O
encourage the Union men Of the Bordc
States. Then came the struggle within
those States. Virginia, n long time poised
finally took the plunge! North CarOlin
and Tennessee followed. These great an
powerful States were lost to the Union
because the Republican Press aud Reput
lican Representatives were bcguiled wit
the popular idea that they discharge
their first and highest duty in standin
by and on the Chicago Platform"
Then came Civi! War, mcnacing tn
Capital as its first consequence. Th

CHAPLAINS,
TO the honordble members Of the House Of Rep
resentatiues ofthe Thirty seventh Congress

TO the honOrdbls members fthe House Of Rep.
resentdtires Of the Thirty seventh Congress
GENTLEMEN: A bill has passed the Senate,
with an amendment of Senator Rice, reducing
the pay Of cbepains in the army TO that OF post
chaplains, viz: sixty dollars month, with four
rations per day. a
The bill must certainly have been passed
withouta full understanding OF its bearing upon
those who have accepted the appointment in
accordance with the call Of the President Of
May 4th. --.-.--s
This call expressly states that each regiment
shall have q chaplain, minister of some de.
nomination, "whose rank and pay shall be that
Of captain Of cavalry" viz: $l4550 per month.
In accordance with this call at the invita-.
ton Of the field officers Of the regiments, a
large body Of clergymen of high position in
their respective churches have resigned their
parishes and entered in the service of the
country. Over seventy are now in the neigh
borhood Of this city. One has resigned an in.
come of $4,000 per annum. Another has left
the post of superintendent of public instruc.
ton, and chancellor Of State University. The
present bill, as passed the Senate, reduces the
pay to less than 81 200 annually. .a-I....
Naturally expecting that Congress would
endorse the acts Of the President, we have in.
Cured expenses of outfit and equipment which
must be met, but cannot, and at the same time
leave support for our families.
We desire to serve our country, we seek the
spiritual good of officers and men but we are
unwilling to serve under circumstances which
will degrade US in their estimation, will seri.
ously lesson our influence, if not compel US,
generally, to resign.
So far from reducing US to the pay of less
than that of second lieutenants, or of the in.
ferior officers Of your own honorable House, We
think that men ft for the Office in this crisis
should hold position in the regiment second
to that of the commanding officer alone. We
only ask that the patriotic call Of the President
shall be endorsed, and the Government main.
tain its faith with us.
We ask no more than the chaplains obtained
in the first war ofindependence-we are engaged
in the second, and never was prayer more gen.
orally offered, never was it more needed.
Our services are gratefully received by the
army. The spirit of God is blessing our efforts
We ask you to sustain us in our work. Let us
feel that we are sustained and respected by you
in srduous duties among the sick and dying
soldiers, like ourselves separated from our
homes, our families, and our friends. -
We feel assured that careful consideration
of the subject will prevent the passage Of the
Senate bill, as amended, in your honorable
body, and secure its reconsideration in the
equally honorable body, which it has, to our
regret and astonishment passed.
We are, with respect, yours in common love

Our other column, from Philppa is also up
within mile of Laurel Hill and the advance
guard of both our columns are within two hun.
dred yards Of the enemy on each line. So you
will perceive, fight, within a few hours, is
certain. All our men are eager for it. -.
We have news that the two Ohio regiments
sent to relieve our little squad, that were sur,
rounded by the command Of O. Jennings Wise,
have not only relieved them, but now have
Wise and his whole force fairly surrounded, in
turn.
The SKIRMIsH AT LAUREL HILL Cincin-

near Laurel Hill yesterday afternoon, by the
fourteenth Ohio and ninth Indiana regiments,
have been received. The rebels were beaten
back, abandoning their rife pits. They were
crack Georgia regiment. The officers were
seen vainly attempting to rally them to the at
tack. The rebel supplies of provisions being
cut of, they must soon come 10 extremities.
They are attempting to cut new road through
the woods, to reopen communication, but every
outlet is watched. Gen. McClellan's column
