From thp telegraphic dispatches jp our
Charlceton exchanges, if they be true, there
is scarcely a doubt, but what Virginia will
still cling to '"this glorious Union." We
wish it were otherwise, but if it be so willed,
so let it be. Virginia has inuny gallant
sons resident of the Palmetto Republic who
are sorry to nee the course she has taken ;
sons whom she might have well been proud
or, who would at n moments warning been
willing and ready to fly to her aid in llip
hour pf trial and dufend her to t||0 Inst oi,

While R 'urge majority of the delegated

few "subniindiouUtH" among litem, li ia
well known that iliey intend to exhaual
every honorable means to preserve the
Union, hut unless the rights of the Southern

I here in finger of sudden interruption
from two sources. First, (lie utter treachury

wo ure venturing to negotiate, and second,

of theso deceivers produces among
our brave troops who so Inr from temporizing

our eyes to the fact that much valuable lime
has been wasted and trifled away, in useless
efforts to treHt on equul terms of justice

of our confidence to triumph over
our weakness.
Our legislature adjourned yesterday. I
am unable, as yet, to give you an accurate
summary of the most important subjects
j of legislation upon which positive action
has bpcii taken- Vigorous niutianrss for
arming the Slate pml strengthening our

llsg hqs been chosen for the Stale, and a

the exigency.
Among the / rsplulioija indicating the spirit
of our Legislators ii) these perilous tjmes

Resolved, That it is the sense of this

have hern forced to seek their independence

the perneteiiug opposition of the abolitionisla
of the Frecmll States, and as the ii.tj,

federacy, is now the practical question, w'e
avow ustroug confidence in li e united effort*
of the seceding Stales to carry out
tins necessary nieasuie, and we lieroby proclaim
to liie world that right, du'y, justice
uiid law favor our position, uud that no people
on eartii cau disrupt (heir former j<o!ilical
relations with a dearer Conscience than
lite people of the sluveliol<ji''7 Stales.
On the subject of the State FL.g a Committee
wus uppoiuted under tiie annexed
resolution ;
Whereax, South Carolina hath declared
herself lo be a Sovereign and Independent
Commonwealth ; and, whereas, it |s rjglit
and customary for nil natioua to lutve aome
distinguishing enaign or Hug as the ayiubol
(<f their sovereignty uud independence,
therefore,
AVso/tri/, That a uissssgo be sent to the
Senate to nak for their concurrence in the
appointment of a Joint committee of seven
to consider and report tjpou the Hug or eip
sign proper to bp borne as the national t) ig
or epsjgu of South Carolina.
Jn accordance with thp above, the Speak
er announced the following Committee : P.
C. J. Weston, (J. T. Ixtwnden, K. II Itliell,
J. J. Hyan, ). it. Williutua, W. li. Wallace
and K. F. Uookfer,
After A long and tedious discussion, both
Houses agreed opoq the flag tp be hereafter
recognized aa the emblem of our sovereignty.
It is to be a blue Heidi ?ith a
white Palmetto in the middle?upright. A
white crescent in the upper Hug ?Utf corr
aer, the horna pointing upward.
The New York "Herald," of Saturday
last, positively asserts that reinloicementa
have been ordered both to Forts Pickens
and Sumter. That paper sometimes kits
upon the truth, and if it does lie this time,
it is not for tho want of good grounds up
?u which to form a conclusion, vis : the total
indifference of those having charge of
auch iuutters, to its own promisee or propositions
Time will ahow which of thein is
mont reliable.
