Petlns, Gov ernor of tlte Stale of Mtmssifln. SiR--lt becomes my duty to report to vour Excellency the events of the mission to the Authorities ot tne uommonweaun or Virginia, with which I have lately been en- trusted by tne State uovernment oi missis s'pp5- ' ; --. , , . After receiving my credentials ana in structions, 1 proceeded promptly to nicti uiond. where I arrived on the linn ol February last. On the next day I pre sented to His Excellency, the Governor of Vireioia, together with mV credentials, a codv of the resolutions adopted by the Legislature of Mississippi, and addressed to Gov. Letcher a communication, dated Feb ruary 20th, (a copy of which is appended to this report, marked "A. I inwuicn I endeavoved to state, as briefly as possible, the character of my instructions, aud of the motives which had actuated the course adopted by my State. , la this first communication 1 did not nun it necessary to enter into any long or de tailed statoinent or argument, cither as to the immincut necessity for immediate and determined action on the part of the slave holding States to -restore the integrity of their already violated sovereign snd confed erate rights, or as to the urgent requirement. for the harmonious co-operation of these States in some well settled plan of united action, or yet as to the high expediency ot our infer State conference, like that pro posed by South Caroliua and Mississippi, jto secure such co operation. All this had been carefully and very ably discussed by the Commissioner from South Carolina, whose visit to Kicumond preceded - mine, and when it became my duty to add to the urgent invitation of South Carolina the earnest solicitation of Mississippi, I deemed it best to give their request every indication of unanimity in motive and policy. I was received with the utmost kindness and courtesy by Governor Letcher, , who promptly transmitted to the General Assem bly my official communication j and during the whole period of my temporary residence in Richmond, I constantly received from both the Governor and tho Legislature of Virginia, as well as in all instances horn the numerous citizens of tho Commonwealth with whom it has been my good fortune to exchange social amenities, the most gratify ing evidences of affection, confidence and respect indicated towards the authorities and people of Mississippi. In addition to these testimonials, I have to express my grateful acknowledgement of tho marner in which governmental courtesy and private kindness vied in tendering to mc personally every possible instance of generous and refined hospitality. During my stay at Richmond, by means of constant personal intercourse with eminent official and un-official persons, as well as by an attentive study of tho recommendations f the Governor and the acts or the General Assembly, the views of the authorities and tizcns of V lrirmia as to the exigencies and requirements of the present involved con dition of our federal relations.. In ono, especially, of the Legislative doc uments of the present session of the General Assembly, 1 found such striking evidences of a just appreciation of this whole matter, that 1 deemed it best to make it tho subject of another official communication to Gover nor Letcher. This I did in my note dated March 1st, (a copy of which is appended to this report, marked "B,") which was im mediately transmitted by the Governor to the General Assembly After a long deliberation and much discus sion, tho General Assembly of Virginia has taken final action on the proposal tendered by South Carolina and Mississippi.. The re suit of that deliberation : and the precise character of that action, has been communi cated to mo by the presiding officers of the General Assemby, in a document, a copy ot which is appended to this report marked "U. It is unnecessary lor me to report to your Excellency any statemont as to thA views and motives of the Government of Virginia. They aro concisely and accurately defiuod by their own resolutions, herewith commu nicated to you. While, in common with the authorities and the people generally of Mississippi, I deeply recret that tuo Government ot Vii giuia has not found it expedient to sjnd representatives to tbe proposed conference of slavebolding States. I find much cause for gratification in tho evidence it affords in the tone and language of tho resolutions adopted that Virginia still looks forward to the re-establishment of our Federal Union on the only honorable and enduring basis of unimpaired state sovereignty and constitu tional riffht; that she warmly cherishes the sympathies and relations which hate crer bound her interest and aftection to her sister States of the South; that her people fully sensible of the extent, injury and dan ger, of the aggressions -and indignities to which they, in common with the whole peo ple of the South, have been, and aro still subjected and that both the Government and tbe people of Virginia indicate their de sire to unite with the other slavebolding States, in the adoption and enforcement of such active measures as shall be found best adapted to restore and protect their sovereign and confederate rights. ' In acknowledgment of the many evidences or respect for my btate, and personal kind ness towards myself exhibited by the author ities and citizens of Virginia, I took the liberty, on the eve of my departure from Richmond, to address Governor Letcher a letter, a copy of which is appended to this ircp pott, marked "D." r II 33. In all the actions incident to my mission, I have striven to furnish the most direct ind forcible expression of the wishes, pur poses and policy of Mississippi; and while I ave spared no opportunity to urge and ad vocate the proposal which she has tendered to the Government of ..Virginia, I liave, at tho same time, endeavored to place any in tercourse with the authorities to whom L was accredited on the most favorable footing of mutual respect and kindness. I trust your Excellency will believe that, bowsver inadequate niy limited powers may have proved towaids the accomplishment of the great object of the mission entrusted to me, those powers, uch as they are, have been faithfully and laboriously exerted to the lull extent of their capacity. . I have the h on 'r to remain, very respectfully! your obedient servant, P. B. STARKE. . FOB THE DEMOCRAT. ' A DREAM. I had a dream a strange ecatatio dream, That did my pulses stir, and thrill'd my heart With a sweet rapturo all unknown before. Methought we were aloue, and stood within A portal where the moonlight pour'd a flood Of silver radiance rouud us. The air was Still ; and scarce a leaf of the sweet slumb'ring Flowers was stirr'd ; jet, their soft perfume o'er our - Senses stealing, told they breath'd. Our hands wero . . Cifips'd niir.e lay in thine and from thy lip broke ... , . Words of love and truth, that like the breathiDgi Of a low voiced lute, or whisperings of Summer winds, fell on my car. My lips were Lifted up to thine, within whose depths there Shone a light more tender than the softest Star. I looked till mine low-drooping 'neath thy Gazebad sought the earth, when, lo ! the Boene had chnn"ed. We stood beside a lake, within whose Waters clear, were mirror'dthe fair heavens. Each mimic wave upon its boiom wore A star-gem caught from night's bright coronal. Again, those music tones fell on my ear, And mingled with the voice of etarTit waves Again tho breath of roses filled the air, ' That from the bowers around the margin of The lake in clusters hung. Within thy hand Was held a roseate leaf, and from it thou Didst read to me thoughts pure as ocean's pearls, Of hopes, and dreams, and aspirations high, And with them all did blend my name. Aud thus We stood till one by one, the stars had left Tho waves, the flowers awoke, the birds began Tj sing, and morn, all roseate-flushed, oped wide Tlie golJen gates of day. And I awoke 'Twas but a dream but, oh ! a blissful dream. ROSE. Forest Gaovs, April 3d, 1800. THE GOLDEN SUNSET. The golden sea its minor spreads Beneath the golden skies, And hut a narrow strip between Of land shadow lies. The cloud-like rocks, the rock-like clouds, Dissolved in glory float, And, midway of the rtdiant flood, Hangs silently the boat. The Bea is but another sky, The sky a sea as well, And which is earth, and which Hie heavens, The oye can searcelj tell. So when for us life's evening hour Soft fading shall descend, May glory, born of earth and heaven, The earth and heavens blend. Flooded with peace the spirit fled, With silent rapture glow, Till where earth ends and heaven begins The poul shall scarcely know. The Charleston Convention. Its Place of Meeting Accommodation of Dcle tmtrs. The Charleston corresnoudeiit of the ixcw yurk Journal of Cnmmerce writes : "The visitor at Charleston regards with no little interest the Hall of tho South Caro lina Institute, in which the Derao-ratic Na tional Convention is to bo held on the 2od of April next.

Nevertheless, extensive preparations have been made for tho accom modation of visitors, and all that can be done for their comfort will bo.
