Meeting ef the Virginin Legislatare—Message ef Governor Pierpe: He Reviews € ceptunce of the Term: Ricamoxp, Va., March 4, 1867. Under the call of Governor Pierpont the General As- sembly met this morning in extra session, whon the Message of the Governor, on the recent act of Congress for “the more eflicient government of the rebel States," was read, ‘The Governor says that during the canvass of 1860 for President and Vice-Prendent bat few advocated the secession of the State from the Union. On the 18th day of Febroary in the same year @ convention met at the Capitol, The subject of Union and secession was then before them, and two-thirds of the- votes cast were for the Union, A leading paper declared that the State should be ‘dragged out of the Union,” and ‘in seventy-five days afterwards the ordinance of secession was adopted, anf civti war inacgurated. He reviews the history of the past two years, the policy of the President and its effects on the South, and says that after pardons and amnesty began to be frecly granted, the press assumed a bitter and vindictive tone; aseocia- tions were inaugurated calculated to stir up and inflame the passions of the people ‘with a hatred for the North andthe United States goveroment. Two freedmen had fallen ‘by violence, and their death had scarcely been noticed the officers of the law. The Governor con- tinues:—I deeply regret the rejection of the constita- ‘tional amendment, That opportunity ts past, and we have now to conform our action to uxe terms by Congress. The theery of thet law is that for atts heretofore done the people of Virginta have placed themselves im @ condition in which the organization of the government may be en up, and the State constitution abrogated. . In ‘this event the people lose their character as a body politic, and each stands alone on his own individu. atity, When this takes place the Commonwealth is dead, and the tenure with which the lands are held dies with it, When a State is destroyed by a superior power in war, the conqueror annuls the organic and statute laws of the State and substitutes new laws im their place. This theory existed in Virginia during the war. Public speeches were made and newspaper articles writ- ten to stimulate the people to desperation. If the cause failed owners would lose their slaves, their property would be confiscated and divided among federal soldiers and the colored people, On this theory the very air is rife with the ramor that @ most stringent Confiscation bil! ts now pending in Wasbington, to be put in operation. I think the people may be saved from this threatened danger, If y troth in human testimony, three-fourths of the men of Virginia, and merchants are as well di a8 apy people in the nation. The cause of irritation comes from the few. The maases desire peace, and have no sympathy with agita- tors or disturbers of the public peace. I think the only mode of securing tranquillity is for the Legislature, on the basis of the act of Congress, in good faith to carry out the requirements of the law and adapt ourselves wo the new state of allairs at once. I have confidence our colored people will quietly assume the new privilezes conferred on them. and will act very much like those who enjoy the franchise by votinc for their friends. It is proper that the proposed convention shall be ordered by the General Assembly. Any other mode would be irregular, and may be productive of disorder and result in the worst consequences, 1 hope you will not shrink from responsibility, but will act. promptly. May a mer- ciful God grant peace te our distracted State and give confidence to a desponding. people. The appearance of the General Assembly on this occa- sion was extremely impressive, eolemn and dignified, A deep silence pervaiied the entire body. The aisles and galleries were filled with spectators, who also ap- preciated the great measures about to be which depends the future of Virginia. When the Clerk finished the reading of the mesesge a general movement among the assemblage ensued; sigh of evident relief, if mot satisfaction, went up from the entire’ crowd, and the expres- grave and earnest, was more composed, much more pleasing, than one would enticipate. Nu- mefous prepositions were then introduced, some of the members wishing @ recees to afford them an tunity to consult their constituents on this subject Senate was similar to that of the = The Arrest of Five Magistrates in Norfolk ovis t ‘twill Rights Bili—Decision of United States Cor missioner Foster, &c.

The feeling of indignation among many of the leading citizens of Norfolk, which was suddenly aroused by the arrest of five magistrates of the Corporation Court who bear a highly creditable and worthy position in the com- manity has quietly subsided, and an entire acquiescence im the decision of Commissioner Foster is manifested throughout the city. The journals of the city, some- what unexpectedly, have abstained from that bitter spirit which usually characterizes the Southern press when questions have arisen respecting the legality of certain acts of the present Congress, and have seemed content with descanting upon the character of the almost unknown complainant in the case, Mr. J.

Universal Exposition at Paris—Possible Re- turn to America, &c. Naw Orteany, Fob. 26, 1867, Before the war the last woek of the Carnival, cul- minating at midnight on Mardi Gras, always used to be gay and sensational in New Orieans; and it is more so than ‘ever this year, Balls and parties are the order of the day, or rather of the night. All the theatres have re- doubled their attraction, The Great Bazaar of the Southern Hospital Association is brilliantly successful. The Mystack Crewe of Comus bid fair to surpass them- selves, The Arabic Company from the Desert of Sahara make tbeir drst appearance in the United States, these children of the desert having just arrived with their tar- bans and white burnous from Spain, by way of Havana. The Lyceum Hall is ringing with the music, vocal and instrumeutal, of grand German concerts, Bat all these sensations of tho week are eclipsed by the splendid success of Ristori, the Queen of Tragedy. To-day, by invitation of Mr. Albaiza, the lessee of the Opera House, Signora Ristori and family dined at the lake, A large crowd assembled to witness their depart- ure from the St, Louis Hotel; it was ‘the sensation” in that part of the city. The distingmshed tragédienne, her busband, the Marquis del Grillo, with Miss Bianca Ristori and Mr. George Ristori, drore out mm an epen barouche. Mr. Alhaiza rode out on horeeback. This evening Signora Ristori will appear in | ene of her-greatest characters, the beautifuland usbappy Myrtha, During the week all Now Orleans will have applauded her in Elizabeth, Myrrha, Angelo and Pia, di- Tolomei, and next week will applaud ber again in Camma’ and Macbeth. ‘We are not surprised to learn that Ristori’s four nights’ season in Memphis, which opened on the 5th ‘ultimo, was a triumph and a magnificent pecuniary suc- cess On her arrival in the Crescent City on the 9th of Febraary Ristori was welcomed with great enthusiasm. The press, without exception, hailed ner as “Queen of Tragedy.” The public has vied with private families in testimonials of delight and of appreciation for her marvellous genius, Dinners and partiesshave been given in her honor, and all ible efforts have been multi- plied to make hor fee! ‘at home” iu New Oricans. Her débat, on the 14th im Medea, was In the bighest de- gree successful. Perhaps her greatest triumph wus achieved on Wedn played Mary Stuart. Nothing can excocd the furero which this impersfmation excited both among the American and the Creole population. Seats and boxes are all secured for the balance of the season, and no more can be obtained for love or money. For Elizabth, whieh has been repeated three pights tn succession, boxes have commanded from fifty to eixty dollars, Although general basiness is comparatively dall all tind plenty of money to spend for the gratification of sesiug and admiring Ristori. ‘We understand that the enterprising Mr. Gran receives daily applications from the cities already visited by Ris- tori soliciting a renewal of e1 ois and repeatot Briones, on the return of the company to Now fork. To his regret, previous engacements and proposi- tions, which offer munificent terms for one or two nighis in passing, preclude him from acceding to these flatter- ing wishes. He hes determined, we believe. to protong the season bere and then te return to St. Louis. Thence he will visit the “nead centre”—Chicaco—and success- ively Milwankee, Magy og eS opryy Buffato, Roches- ter, Utica and Troy. On 22d of April Madame Ris- Passage has already been secured for her and her troupe on the steamship Ville de Paris, of the Transat- Jantic Hine, on the 18th of May inasmuch as she is gaged to appear at the Théatre des Italiens during the Beason of tie Universal Exposition at Paria. By the date her departure in May, the net receipts of Madame Ris- United States will doubtless have reached the last, Om that occasion sho QUA ASIATIC NAVAL. SQUADRON.

The fact that he bis ards ous profession the entire day, und them travels the entire night to his next office, a# from Boston to New York, Finhidelphia and Baltimore vach week, indicates both the pressure of his business aud the extraordinary demands upon his physical nature, If he were pot ‘ae tough as » truck horse,’ lo use a Lomely but expressive compariseo, he could not hold out as he does and maintain his vigorows health and aw exuberant fow of animal spirits, The seeret of itis tn having cured bimsclt by tue tight sort of . and resorting fo them persovally whenever occasion re- quires.
