SATURDAY 2'i, 18S 1 the day. As appropriate to this Birth Day of ashington, which has once more rolled around, present to our reuders his arowelt Address, his last legacy to his devoted and beloved countrymen. Its noble sentiments should be cherished, above all things by the American people in the pn sent hour of peril. The imperious majority of the North should heed his warning voice against scciional prejudices and the people of the South, while glowing with admiration for the Union as Washington revered It, will listen to his solemn words, and idolize the Constitution as "sacredly obligatory upon all." By its hallowed provisions they will be prepared to stand or fall. A great change has taken place since tho celebration of this holyday, twelve months since.

Then Virginia, through her Governor, aided by the representatives of her people, laid the corner stone of a monument to George Washington, her beet, her greatest son. Her fairest daughters and sturdiest sons gatherel in from all portions of her territory, to grace and honor the scene. Statesmen standing high on the roll of fame, soldiers immortalized by the fire of butlle and I by their deeds indelibly engraved on the page of history, i blushing maidens and youths burning with noble emulation, even lisping infancy came forward together, to hear the praises of mingle in tho universal testimo' ny of his honored name, and to catch new inspiration for the race of virtuous and honorable bearing, and perhaps of selfsacrificing trial, which lay before them. It was one of the brightest days in the annals of tho Old Eloquence, music, and good feeling, produced universal happiness and enthusiasm. Time rapidly flew by.

The monument Itself is Fpringing up in solid grace and many of those who witnessed the Masonic collocation of its foundation-stone, have been gathered to their fathers. Among them is the heroPresident, Taylor, who eagerly watched the ceremony and gave official and personal interest to the scene. Tho past year has been marked by thrilling scencs, intimately dependent on his death, and the accession of the Vice President. The country rocked with convulsions, disunion and civil war threatened to wrap the confederacy in disaster. The evil was avoided Union has been saved still clouds hang over tho extremo portions of the confederacy, which can only be dispelled by an observance of his solemn advice, nn imitation of the hallowed spirit, wlikh Washington always manifested.

May his parting words sink deep into the the ears of our countrymen in every may the country, purified by the fiery ordeal, come out still more united by the blessings of peace nnd a faithful devotion to the sacred charter of our liberties Onr. of the most ploaaing incidents of the last twelve which deserves special mention on this the recent departure of the U. S. Frigate St. Lawrence for the great World's Convention in London.

With the National tnulllguncer we say: Safely may tho fine frigate speed on her noble mission, and accomplish her purpose. Indeed, she cannot fail. The act is before the world, have its influence, and to be a harbinger of more enlightened ideaej and, though we shall have credit for our initiatory step, yet this mission of peace may be said to be to all "Of the nature a Fur then tjo parties nobly are nuOtiueJ, And neither party lojern." Such are the victories worthy of this age, nnd such the rivalry of nations to which we invite all competitors, as we are sure to be gainers by the struggle, even when defeated. We shall not have at the to-day, any thing like the splendid pageant of a year ngo. But, in honor of the day, the two important deliberative bodies, now in session here, have suspended their our citizen-soldiery will animate our streets with the roll of drums and musketry, and the booming of cannon.

In further tribute to the memory of Washington, tho State Executive, members of the Convention and Legislature, and citizens and fair Indies from all portions of the State will oKscmble at the Grand Ball on Monday night, to rejoice together, that Virginia gave a Washington to the world, and to renew their faith, that they will endeavor to prove themselves not unworthy compatriots of the Father of his Country. THE STATE Of THE COUNTRY. Tho times are still full of trouble and we deem it our duty to keep the people Virginia advised of important movements at the two extremes of the confederacy, so that our State may intelligently and wisely pursue that course which circumstances may Impel her to regard as due, not only to her own safety and honor, but to the rights ot the South and the preservation of the Union. However other States may tfy off from their orbits, Virginia will, while she can with safety and honor, continue to stand on the basis of the rights of the States and the Union. She will neither countenance central consolidation and tyrannous power, on the one hand, nor disunion tendencies on the other.

She will pursue the plain, straightforward middle path of her conservative course will, as heretofore, be brought to bear powerfully, in obtaining justice and in checking disorganization. The details of the outrages and aggressions at the North are familiar to our readers. They are startling enough, it must be they have not yet reached a point which demands a resort to the last awful necessity of a rupture of a confederacy, founded by our own Washington and his Immortal compeers. How soon the fanatics of the North may attain the climax of madness, and force this dread alternative, we shall not dare to depict. We have not yet, however, abandoned all hope that the recent lawless acts at the North will burn into the hearts of the masses, there, a sentiment of the necessity of prompt and decided action to save the country, by crushing the cockatrice of fanaticism and outlawry in their midst.

They must do something, or all Southern confidence in Northern honor, and love of law and order, will vanish like a mist. Enough has transpired to alarm and excite the Southbut not enough to justify the extreme measures to which our Southern brethren are now preparing to resort. The action of one State at least, South Carolina, looks threatening enough. Unless wiser counsels shall bo wafted to her by the wings of favorable developments of tho next twelve months shall allay her excitement and soften the apparently firm resolution of her may expect to sen her in Convention taking measures for instant secession, and then a real crisis will come upon tho country, from which all good men will avert their eyes with sorrow. In reply to the National Intelligencer, the Charleston Mercury says that, though not quite all the returns of the election for the State Convention arc in, yet the result can bo stated with sufficient accuracy.

The Mercury remarks: "The Convention consists of 10? memben-equnl tc both Houses of the Legislature. Of these we think we are quite safe in saying 12? are, in the words of the Intelligencer distinctly and unalterably fur "SECESSION withdrawal of the State of Sou'h Carolina alone fr mi the Union-" or if the Intellgencer is modest and wouiri prefer their description by another are men who, hs an old friend from the country Faid to us yesterday, "have made up their minds that the Federal Govrenment is a cursed bad bargain which it i9 a high time to get rid of." There men go for secession by the State alone, because there can be no other secession than by the States as individual Sovereignties, and because tho withdrawal from the Union will thus in every Btage of the act be undor the sanction of the supreme authority, and give to secession tho samo busis and support of the sovereign will expressed in the same foim as the act by which South Carolina entered tho Union. "A minority of the Convention consisting of, wo think less than forty, are opposed to the speedy action of the State by herself. But let not the Intelligencer imagine there ate forty submissionists in the Convention. We are certnln there are not ten members who will not unhesitatingly athrm both of the following propositions: 1.

That the State, as one of a Confederacy ot a sovereigns, has the clear right to secede; and, 2, that the action and position of the Federal Government afford ample justification for the cxercise of that right. They think it politic to put off decisive action till the other States or some of them get ready to join us. "Th? minority in the Convention, ns a body, will r.ot be opposed to the majority, but only a little in the rear of it, and when the decision is made, they will, with lew exceptions. take their place with the foremost in its defence. The act of accession will be emphatically the act of the whole State, and her people will unite la defending it 'to the las: So much for South Carolina.

In the State of Alabama thsre has been recently held, at Montgomery, a Convention of the Southern Rights Clubs of the after some difficulty, adopted on the 10th of February, the following extreme preamble and resolutions: The preamble to the Constitution of the United Statos declares the objecta for which the government of the United States was forrrfed. Those objecta were "to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for tho common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." Those objects in our opinion havo been wilfully disregarded in the administration of the with the law admiting Missouri into the Union, and closing with the late Bystem of measures, miscalled the Compromise. The pretence upon which this system of hostile legislation has been based, that slavery is a moral and political evil end and aim the emancipation of tjvery slave in the United States. The government is in the hands of a sectional majority, and political interests and conscientious convictions of duty alike urge them to the successful prosecuton of this system. Believing that the aim in tne formation of this government is no longer to be observed in its administration, we, tho delegates of th? Southern Rights of Alabama, in Convention MMmbJtd, do resolve, 1.

That in our opinion, tho powt 101l' Government by the of the State, of years, been perverted by a to the aggrandisement of the no.i-slaM-lio.u.t oppression of the slavcholditig Stales. 2. That in our opinions, powers have been "the ex1 General Government purpose ol jn tension of the institution of slavery. places where it now exits, which word not-ranted to it by the people of the States. 3.

Timlin our opinion, a radical change 1 In the character of the General Government 1 of this system of legislation; that p-wer "ndjgniij of hi Union have become destructive, in a very grt 1 rights and dignity of the Slates which creat. 1 4. That a tame submission to, or a patient a in this hostile and unconstitutional legislation our opinion, be conducive to the peace, happinos-, and honor of the Southern States. 5. That we fully endorse the doctrine V.h", ensf contained in the Virginia ot l.J' ir .1 of a deliberate, palpable, dangerous rxerciM- ol by the Federal compact, the States wh a thereto, have the right, and are in duty bound 1 arresting tho evil, and maintaining in 'heir r- spec no the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to 6.

That such interposition should not mO'-c, 80 0 there remains a reasonable hope that full and umoie rt will he made for past injury, and provision be made ago.11 Ml unhon legislation which we hnvocondtKnivd, un is no reasonable ground on which to bas- a hope shall obtain either for the past, or guaranties or 8. That in our opinion, a duQ regard for therizhts, and interest of the people of this Stat" "ad eacn Southern States, demands that tiiey at once their house in order" with a view to secession. 9. That ns iclt State voluntatily became a tuemoer confederacy, so it can be no cause oi war upon anv State, tliat chooses no JonL'er to remain a toereo 10. That the question of tho of Alabama Irotn this government, is icduced to that ol time only.

11.

That the Governor Al.turna be lequoted to convene the in extm toe vidinii by law for the election of members lo the proposed Southern Congress; called to true place the first Monday in August next. Should the f.til 10 convene the Legisbt.n., then we recommend to ta i-, ous preeinciH composingihestveial to open a poll on tne f.r?t Monday i.i October next and a.

Slate for that cr.su- which perverted and distorted by the anii-sUvery spirit, forced us to contemplate.

The Montgomery Advertiser (a strong Resistance paper) in publishing these resolutions, undertook wisely and patriotically to employ language, such cs follows Thev are not intended, however, wo ns a pi itform for the Southern men throughout the out rather aaan opinion assembled here representing the v.iriou-ciu->s ot the ate for cd. In this light, we suppose, they will be viewvd: that our friendscan reject or adopt such portions ot tie 10 mthey may think proper, without detriment to t.ie gieat which we all have so nuicti h'. hunt. This expl matlon did not meet the President; and Secretary and twelve members the Convention, who, were Still in Montgomery, and wlio j.uoiisii a eatd, to it.isj effect: I "We think we are well acquainted with tho vii-w? 'he Convention, and b. lieve the "Advvrtiser and t'r mistaken in the statement that the it-solutions ol the in-.

It is reriainly very true that wo did not with ri fugle inuitu.aM upon the point in dispute, before wo p. nned th- Hrti.de hided but we were simple nough to tinn it inti-u (ind we should much if were mistaken, thon-h do not say that we are not, after this communication signed by many of our personal and party friends.) tiiat the verv tew counties represented had not undertak. 11 to speak for the entire Southern Rights throughout the State.

Hut eiereu counties were ot tift'j-tio in the State many of them very partially. Leaving out -ntgom. ry, Lowndes and Dallas, there were but twenty-two delegates from the balance. (We mention thtse 1 in then, we had some reason for our opinion, that they were not intended as a platform for ihu Southern party throughout the State. But if these resolutions are to be iho bed of rocrustts, ond every Southern man whom it do fit is to be sketched or loppe.i oti, then gentlemen, we fear that although v- and we may lie down upon it, w'c shall have very lew bed lellow s.

In other words, are to every Southern man who will not subscribe to the laid down by this Conven tion? We tell you gentlemen, you may, but ice. sliall Let not be do not abate iota ot. our zeal and devotion to the cause of thu South. So tar as the principles enuuclated in the resolutions are we concur with them, and would even go further it wucou.d; but what we object to is, this lopping olf every who will not subscribe to this platform. We have herntoforu de-1 clarcd our willingness to every man by the nd who opposed to submission and 111 favor ol' resistance.

We have frankly expressed the opinion, to which wo still adhere, that wo could see no eli'ectual remedy for evils past, present and future, short ol but. in the spirit ol the Lowndesoorough resolutions we were willing to show some "delerencc to those who admit our wrongs, but advocate 0 milder form of resisianee," aod were ready, in liie of that Club, "without compromising our preference lor the remedy above indicated, to in nm plan of non-intercourse, however slrinaent, having for it' object the redress of Southern wrongs." Such has beet, our course in the p.st? such Ad our courso in future, the Montgomery Convention platform to be contrary notwithstanding. With such an antidote thrown before the people, we enn not believe that the poison ot disunion will make many victims in Alabnma. South Carolina, however, bent on extreme measures? and it well becorr.es Virginia to corci.ipr whether th time has not arrived, when should specially appeal Carolina, to desist frosri li purpose and yet longer re main in the least until the North shall enact further aggressions which ehtli compel Virginia 10 make common causo with South Carolina and the whole South, in a re dress of common wrongs. S.

Carolina hi" calii'd on Virginia to with htr for Southern Congress and That coil now lies on the tables of the two Houses ou. Legislature, and it must he considered answered. Should not the Legislature tnke the occasion to make on appeal firm but respectful and kin South wc have above Indicated pause in her course and not nhlvei the confederacy to ai )ins? In Virginia, course of blessed mediation, averted the passion South Caroiinn and saved the not a similar appeal, now. under Bspects more alarming than then, bu attended by the same happy results? for the Legislature of Virginia to act in this to movement, which save, the Union. The subject is one of importance an.) should be maturely contidercd nnd carefully carried out.

The people and the authorities of Boston seam determined, though it is rather htu, to wipe out the stain of tho recent lawless outrage. Respectable citizens aro organizing in defence of the law, as countcr-movement to tho banding together of the blacks and their white abettors.

Adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The bill for increasing the efficiency ol the naval service, which was under consideration yeasterdy, but upon which no decision was morning hour having expind while it was under about an hour tins morning. it was supported by Mr. Borock, of Virginia, who stated that the object of the memorial from Pennsylvania, for aid i build steam vessels for the carrying of the mails, was of tne same description as one witti which he had been entrusted irom He then referred to the objections made yesterday by Mr.

McLane, to a schenteof this nature; reviewed the large amounts already paid lo the European line of stenmers, and explained the object of memorialists, winch is, lhat (he government shall issue five millions ol and the parties one million, and as this Ptock is applii d. security snail be L'iven for tho completion of the work and when ii shall be completed, the government is to receive a mortgage on the five per cent, on the capital expended shall be annually paid back to the government, so at the expiration of ten years the debt woiilJ amount only to one-half of the capital advanced, and the government would have ten steamships at its disposal fit for the naval service ot the country. Mr. Miller of Ohio, us we understood him, considered the large appropriations iliat had been made to support the ocean tines of Htemners, as a direct violation of the constitution, and which ai present amount to upwards ol eleven hundred thousand dollars result of what ha considered as combinations to obtain money from the publjp treasury. The previous question is then moved, pending which, Mr.

Bayly moved that the House resolve itself into a committee the whole on the Mate of the Union, which being negatived, the previous question was then put and carried. The uves and nays weie ordered upon the main question, to refer the bill to the committee of the whole on the state ol Union; and were 159 ayes, 31 nays. The bill subsequently was leferred Baviy repeated his motion that the resolve itsell into a coinmitteeof the wnola on tho state of the Union, arid called for the ayes and niys, which wore 147 In the affirmative and 28 in the negative. Tho then resolved itself Into a commitiee of the whole, and again took up the military academy biil. Mr.

moved that it be laid aside and reported to the House, and that ti.e pension bill betaken up. The bill having been reported by the Clerk, Mr. Bayly exprosed his hope that gentlemen would not leave the hall, us was the case yesterday and gave notice that if delay asain occurred from the sime cause, he wutild have tile roll called every instance, and Hint if the business of Congress should rot have been completed nl the close of the session, owing to the absence of members, it iuld bo seen to whom the disappointment was to no attributed. Finding a disposition to epenk on subjects unconnected wiili the bill under consideration, Mr. Havly moved th.it the committee rise; and when the had resumed, moved thai debate on the bill be limited to one mlnutn.

The coinmittre then passed ono or two uncontrovartad bills without discussion. TneNnvy Pension Bill was also laid aside, to be reported to the House, but th.it relative to Indian all'urs called forth t'otifid-'rable animadversion; and an amendment proposing a re-organization of ihe Indian Department to a certain extent. and substituting a reduced number of agents for the commissioners at present employed, and effecting a savins; tn the gross amount oi salaries and other expenses, was pasFinding members again digressing, Mr. Bavly, who is the Mentor the House, moved that the committee rise, for the purpose of terminating the debate, and when the house had lesumed, tt motion was made by hitn and carried, that the ie.iate should terminate in til teen minutes. The house having again resolved itself into a committee of I ho whole, 'he bill was then read and agreed to, and laid aside folic reported to the house.

Tho cammiitue then rose, and the bills which had been leveed to were read a third time and order.d to be engrossed and passed. The house thee adjourned. For th? Enquirer. California correspondence. Cjib House, near Stockton, Califohma, December Silt, 1350.

As I informed you in niy last, we were about setting nut for the mines and accordingly we did go. We immed the river, washed oil the sand, got sick? oir darn broke, our company dissolved, and wo made nothing. Mining, 1 assure you, is like very uncertain. Some, indeed, make fortunes, encourage tnanv more to attempt it, who fail.

Digging or washing all dny to the sun and water i-? and getting knocked on the iiead for what gold you mav soots roboer or other, is wotse. The chance of being so treated is bad ir. the mines of California, so I am now experimenting in other business than mining.

At tho worst, our land in course time must be a fortune, being so near ono of the most prosperous and growing cities in the world.

You know that I have inducements to urge my return to your of the continent, but I wuh to do so in a more prosperous situation than 1 left it.
