wHBREAs, The President of the United
States has called for 300, 600 men to rein
force our armies aud secure our Govern
ment from destruction by internalinsurrec-
.tion or foreign Intervention, and it is our
duty to furnish our proportion of the force
required: Therefore. be it
RssotUed, That it is better to expend our
whole strength now to preserve the Union,
to retain our name aud place among the.
inBtions of the earth, and TO maintain the
liberty and glory of the past, than to waste
our energies hereafter in the unendiug
strife that would exist between the dishon-
tored fragments of broken Union.
Resolbed, That We will use every effort
to raise Immediately our quota of yolun-
teers. We approve of the proposition that
this County should give to each citizen re-
spending to the call OF the President
bounty of sixty dollars, us substantial
endorsement of his patriotism. And We
request the commissioners already appoint
ed 10 provide for the defence of the coun-
" to devote the funds In their possession
to the payment Immediately of the said
bounty; aud we request the County Court
to place in the hands of the Commission
ers whatever additional sum may be nee
essary to carry out the object of this reso-
luton.
Resolpe6, That the Hon. John S. Carlile
no longer represents the sentiments of the
loyal people of Virginia, and we request
him to resign his seati in the United States
Senate.

Of which were without pay) having passed
l75 acts and 96 Resolves.
The Militia bill passed after being cut
down to mere enrolment. Bill for aState
Liquor agent passed with many limitations
The bill extending the Aroostook land grant
railroad was defeated, that in aid Of the fam
ilys Of volunteers passed, without the pro-
vision reimbursing towns for expenditures al
ready made for those families. The project
of repeating or essentially modifying the
Trial Justice Act failed. On the last days
of the session the bill for removing the seat
Of government to Portland was lost in the
House 40 to 65. A bill rc-establshing the
old Court of Common Pleas having passed
the House unanimously, was defeated in the
Senate, 5 to l6. The National (Conisca-
tion) Resolves passed lOi to &c in the House.
(About one fifth of the Democratic members
voted yes. Nearly all who voted no were
elected by Republican votes.
The session was very harmonious ONE
The State has got three days legislation

The retrcnchmcnt legislation consists rath-
err in reducing the appropriations for several
departments, than in abolishins any Offices.

The Presidents Emancipation Message.

Message, which was at first received with
general appreciation by all parties IN the
loyal States. is beginning to be looked upon
with suspicion nv the democratic leaders,
whose affection Tor the rebels 0utweighs their
love for the Union. They begin to suspect
that there is eat under the meal that the
recommendation Of the President, IL il has

will lead To summary measures FOR deprlying
the rebels OF the service Of their slaves. There

the rebellion is the paramount object OF the
government, and that nothing, no cherished
Institution of the south, will be allowed tn

This statement, taken in connection with
the assurance that the war with all its ain.
