Anh overwhelming majority of the next ‘Congress will be frofa the free States, and, ‘doubtlessly, will reflect the military enthusi‘asm now #0 rife in those states. It is diffionlt to predict what slave states will be represented in the extra session. Although the ‘Virginia Convention voted that state out of the Union, by the enactment of an ordinance of secession, yet, it is among the probabilities _ that'that ordinance will not be sanctioned, at the ballot*box, by the people of Virginia. However, let the people decide the question of secession as they may, the Convention took especial care to prevent the election of members of Congress, by. directly and expressly prohibiting it. North Carolina and Arkansas will not, it is probable, be represented at Washington in July; Kentucky, "Tennessee and Missouri may be, though it is doubtful. The enly slave states, eertam to ‘be represented, are Delaware and Maryland. “Under this view ot the coming extra seasion, there is every. reason to expect that the war _ policy of the President will be amply saactioned and sustained by the Congress of July, With the very large and imposing military force, now at Washington, there 1s but little ‘Wikeliheod that any demonstration will be made against that city by any force from the @outh. Gen. Scott, as long ago as the 26th @f April, pronounved Washington safe from myenemy. Since that date. vast accessions have been made to the ratikg:. 0§ «ttm defendors ; and, as the Maryland“ législatire has pened that State to the fiee passage of northern troops to the Federal Capital, an immenee and irresistable army must soon be. “Wnot already, concentrated at that important point. Whether the Federal Govern‘ment will avail itself of the vast power, now ‘#t its command, to institute offensive operafons on.the soil of Virginia, is a something which wemust leave to future advices by the pony for solution. It is, however, probable that Harper's Fersy and the goverumen possessions at Norfolk willbe recaptured. Gov. Letcher's determiuation notte permit southern troops to Miraverse Virginia in. the direction of Wash‘iogton, may be regarded, by ‘the Federal Government, as having been arrived at too Yate, andes having been~extorted from. hia 4Méars rother than from hia patriotism. There ia nothing aaid in our dispatoh of ‘to-day us to the contemplated blackade of the ‘Wuthern ports, but the probability is that it i, by this time in fll force. A vast deal of misery, whieh every American of humane Welinge cen not but deplore, must be the consequence of its rigid enforcement.
