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 leston Mercury, BARRETT Sc TODD, DKALF.nS IH Choice Family Groceries !! ROME GEO.

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.

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 .
