The si.un,ion in Yias,s.

FROM the latest information we have re-
celved, it appears that dissertations in the Re-
publican party Of Virginia have been entirely
healed, and that nothing now stands in the
way OF complete Union triumph in the Old
Dominion. The two factions that coalesced
atthe instance of Senator Wilson and other
Northern Republicans who visited Richmond
last spring, have James w. Hunnicut, editor
OF the New Nation, and John Minor Bolts for
their representative men. Huuncutt and the
extreme Radicals held q convention at Rich
mond in April, but the more conservative
Bolts faction refused to participate in its pro-
ceedings. The conservatives even went so far
as to call convention of their own ut Char
louisville on the first of August. Wiser conn
sells aiterward prevailed and the call Tor fine
Charlottesville Convention was withdrawn for
one for the Richmond Convention which mot
yesterday. The concessions. appear to bava
neen made by tho Radicals, comprising few
whites and all the negroes. , This shows how
little truth there is in the statements of those
democrats who would have it underst odd that
