The woman also claims to be bis wife. Last evening Welden called there to see the iedy, and was informed that she was not in, and further, that she had left word that she did not desire tosee him.

A lady daguerreotypist in Seventh street attempted to photograph the com- Pany as they passed ber establishment, but the drizzly weather prevented the operation from being successful. ‘THoss Sxaxzs '—The Washington correspond- ent of the New York Herald says: “The Dead Letter Department of the General Pest Ofice was the scene of great consternation yesterday afternoon. Upon emptying some bags jast arrived from Florida, two copper-heud snakes suddenly emerged from their contents to the in- tense fright of the otticials. The reptiles were Killed after an exciting scramble. Comment on this dastardly piece of vengeance is unnecessary ”’ Upon inquiry we learn that no such +4 ate? have reached the Dead Letter Office; but there js an impression afloat that on Friday last, in open- Ing some bags containing dead letter matter, at the ea Post Office, acouple of snakes were found and killed, 2s stated As, however, the City Post Office officials pob-poh the whole story, there is Probably nothing in it. GuaRpuovse—Before Justice Clark.—Patrick Kane, charged with driving his horse on the pave. ment, was fined $1 91. m Dodd, accused of open profanity, was fined $1.94.

The white man missed the gold piece immediately after giving change, and supposing King had got it, Pursued him and took back the change.

Fost Tureves —During the past two weeks the wood piles and coal Leaps of various dea!ers bave been plundered by petty thieves, soine of whom have been arrested and are now awaiting trial In court. But the arrest of these has not stopped the operations of others, and we hear of “many private individuals who bave been losing by similar depredators. The losers declare them- selves willing to contribute to the assistance of the worthy poor, and some would hardly inquire into the standing of those who would apply for aid; but they do not fancy the style in which the fuel pilferers manage the business. Arrains tx CiaRteston.—The Charleston Mercury of Saturday states that supplies were for- warded asusual to Major Anderson on Friday. This, it is alleged, was in consequence of certalna minor detalis of the military ar; ements which bad not been completed on Thursday.

Partie- wlars—What it 1s Proposed to Do.—In the third edition of the Evening Pest of Saturday, we stated that Major Ben. McCulloch had organized a military force for the purpose of making a descent upon Washington. Further particulars of this movement have come to our knowledge. A Virginia tleman, now in this city, tnforms us that he a long conver- sation with McCulloch a few days since, and that (be design of attacking the Federal Capital was freely avowed by that reckl-ss filibuster. McCul- loch, who is well known as a Texan ranger of unusual bravery and skill, declared to our in- formant that his sole object in visiting Maryland and Virginia was the organization of a suitable military force to be prepared for instant service as Soon as war had actually commenced. There are in the ranks of the secessionists in astern Virginia and Maryland many desperate men, who seek an opportunity to precipitate those Stites into revolution. The severe contest now going on in Virginia between the secessionists and the conservatives affords sufficient evidence that the precipitators are a strong body, capable of rushing to any extreme act of violence which begrmor: notoriety or the ni of power. he flerce debates in the Virginia State Conven- tion, the traitorous proclivities of ex-Gov. Wise, the cries of the secessionist press of the State, all Point to the real object of the traitors, who are how struggling to obtain the ascendancy. Thus far these schemers have failed in their aim, but the pressure is still steady, and the efforts of the rebelliou§ spirits of the State are so persistent as to inspire the liveliest apprehensions in the minds of the lovers of the Union. In Maryland a smaller but not less determined body of secessionists have taken (i ae ground tn favor of revolution. Checked {In their career by the Lorry staud of Gov. Hicks, whose firm re- fusnl to call a State convention has called down upon bim the extreme wrath of the rebels, they have yet found opportunities for demonstrations of a treasonable character, and count among their numbers a large array of uneasy spirits who anti- cipate the approach of an hour when they can do the work of destruction. Public meetings have | § been held, public men bave spoken, and one or | two of the Baltimore pape wed in favor of Secession. A strony pressu; conservative sen- timent and the firmness of Gov. Hicks bave blocked the game up to this time, but the ferment continues. McCulloch, fully aware of these facts. stated to our informant, in the course of a frank conversa- tion, that kis object in coming from Texas was to cement and consolidate the secessionist sent!- ment. He saw an opportunity for exciting the passions of the discontented, and proceeded without delay to put his scheme in practice. He now declares, in the most positive manner, that, with the assistance of Gov. Wise and other rank secessionists of the ultra Virginia school, he has succeeded in effecting a complete military or- pateeien, recruited both from Maryland and Yirginia. The number of men already enrolled is five thousand. The order is that they shall be ready for active service at a moment notice, and that the first step will be to march upon Washington and the selzure of the federal capitol and the archives of the government, atthe mo- ment when civil war shall commence. ‘The active military preparations of the government have inspired McCulloch and bis feliow-rebels with the belief that a decisive blow is to be struck, and the opportunity that will then be | offered for a display of his force will be eagerly seized —N. Y. Post of Monday evening. ALEXANDRIA ArFains —From the Alexandria Gaaette we gather the following : Notwithstanding a great deal of the early fruit was killed by the late cold spell, still, as we are creditably informed, present appearances indicate that there will be no lack of fruit the coming season. The peach, pear, cherry and other trees are still blooming, and inspections shows that we sball bave a sufficient crop of each of these deli- cious fruits.

Rickxoxp, April 8. —Immediately on the as- sembiing of the Convention this morning, a reso- lation was offered to suspend the execution of the order to zo into Committee of the Whole, for the prone of taking up the unfinished business of Saturday r. Jackson moved that the resolution be tabled The resolution to suspend the order was adopted by a tie vote. Mr. Preston's resolution was then taken up, as follows Whereas, in the opinion of this Conventicn, the uncertainty which prevatis fu the public mind as to the policy the Government latends to pursue to- wards the seceded States is extremely injarious to the commercial and industrial interests of the country, tends to keep up an excitement which is unfavorable to an adjustment of the pending difi- culties, and threatens a disturbance of the pablic: Therefore. Be it resolved, That 2 Committee of three dele- . be appointed to walt on the President of the Jnited States, and respectfully ask him to com- municate to this Convention what course be in- tends to pursue. A long debate ensued, during which Messrs. Scott of Fauqvier,and Treadway, Conservatives, declared that if the President's response was un- favorable they would go for immediate secession. They hoped, however, that the answer of the President would be favorable to peace Other members addressed the Convention in op- sition, and declared that the object of the reso- ution wes immediate secession. The movements of the fleets were frequently alluded to in the progress of the debate, and the ground essumed was that Virginia having by the vote on irae § indicated her policy against se- cession, she bad the rightto know what these movements meant. Mr. Carlisle and all the straight-out Unionists = the resolution, as did some of the Conser- vatives: ‘The preamble and resolution were then adopted —yeas 75, nays 63.
