TUE LreIsl AZURE. In the Senate
Yesterday the rule restricting the
legislation Of the present session to
matters embraced in the message OF
the Governor, was enforced in the
case of Mr.. Anderson, Of Nicholas,
who sought to introduce resolutions
pertaining to other subjects. A res
olutien introduced by Mr.. Guy, OF
Goochland, in relation to the return OF
deserters; was referred to the Committee
on Military Affairs. A communication
was received from the Governor, enclos-
ing an application from Lieut. General
Ewell, accompanied by a list of persons
attached to his corps, sentenced by
Court Martial to confinement in the State
Penitentiary. The Governor, after re-
viewing the law, says II am not aware
Of any law which authorizes such con-
yicts to be rec c.ived and if they are re-
ceived it will be indispensably necessary
to discharge those now undergoing con-
finement." We may reasonably conclude
that the number convicted by these mill
tary courts will be large. The applica-
ton, therefore, presents question for
serious consideration.
] Mr.. Collier, Of Petersburg, submitted
a preamble and joint resolutions looking
TO the appointment Of three commission
ers ON the part Of the State Of Virginia,
to visit the different State Governments
Of The United States, to consult with re.
ference to the cessation Of hostilitiss and
