inaugural message of Governor Letcher
to the Legislature of Virginia. Our rea
ders will rejoice, wo are sure, to read a
message So high in tone—bo truthful in
its positions—and so resolute in. its rec-'
ommendations. The Governor of Vir-
;inia recommends that Virginia shall
nvite a convention of all the States in
the Union to consider the matters of
disagreement between them',’nnd if they
cannot agree to provide for a peaceful
separation;' ana that Commissioners
should be appointed to wait on the Leg
islatures of the Northern States which
have nullified the fugitive slave laws,
and “to insist, in tho name of Virginia
upon their unccnditional repeal.” We
congratulate Virginia and the South up
on these recommendations. Every State
in the South, we doubt not, is ready to
go into a general convention of all the
States. If the Northern States assent
to the proposition, the South will either
have the guarantees necessary to hor
pence nnd safety, or tho Confederacy
will bo dissolved. But will tho- Nor
thern States consent to go into a gene
ral convention ? We think not. Then
we trust will follow n Southern Conven
tion. The mission from South Carolina
is most opportune, nnd, we trust, will
meet substantially with success.—Char

JKiP-The following extracts are from a
letter written by Mrs. Ann S. Stephens
to Victor Hugo, who wrote an article a
short time since, in vindication of -John
Brown’s raid, and condemnatory of the
justice meted out to him.
“I am of a sex and of a nature to
whom these feelings are kindifed. ■ 1
cannot think of old John Brown upon
the scaffold without a shudder through
all my being. I cannot, think of a man
made in the image of his God, Buffering
an ignominious death without thrills of
pain. It goes back to his victims at
Harper’s Ferry—to the women made
widows by the outbreak of a single
morning—to tho orphans, who had
never wronged him, so cruelly bereaved
by his crime. I see the two sons who
blindly followed his lead fall martyrs to
his rebellious spirit.
I look beyond all this, far away into
the beautiful South, and instead of an
old man on the gallows, I see thousands
of my own country women, gentle,
good and lovely, given up a prey to wild
insurrection—1 see those murderous
pikes, manufactured with such cruel
torethought, piercing their bosoms—I
see proua, strongmen struggling against
the brute strength of their own house
hold servants. This picture strikes my
oompassion dumb, and I can only cover
my face nnd pray God to have morcy on
the old man’s soul.”
“Had the insurrection at Harper's
Ferry succeeded, the scenes of anarchy
which left France lying like nn unnatu
ral monster satiated with the blood of
her own children, might have been re
peated horo. But wo are not yet pre
pared to see innocent babes shot down

Horrible—A Cbild Boasted Alive.
One of the most harrowing incidents
we have ever recorded occurred a few
days ago in the household of one of our
most respectable creole families, the re
lation of which makes us shudder. A
lgdy, Mme. Frank, (a daughter of that
well known citizen Dr. Landreaux, who
,. lost his life some years ago, by an acci-
Al8 °’ * dent on the railroad,) having occasion
to leave her house for a short time, in
trusted her two young children—one an
infant and the other two and a half
years old—to two nurses ; the nurses,
doubtless thinking the children were
safe from-harm, on account of the fire
place being proteoted by a high fender,
which was fastened to the mantle-piece,
locked the room in which they were
and went out on tho street. The child
two and a half years old, left to itself)
attempted to climb up on the fender fpr
tho purpose of taking something off the
mSntle, and in doing so, fell inside be
tween thi fender and fire, and was thus
roasted alive. The cook heard the cries
of the child, but having just seen tho
nurses in the room, concluded that it
was nothing serious; nnd thus the poor
little creature was left exposed to a se
vere fire, which soon reduced its body
to a crisp —A T . O. Delta.
