‘THE BVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: SATURDAY........... UA. April 6, 1861, Spirit ef the cristal ter eee The Intelligencer quotes speech 0; Hon Aloe C. Rives to show that ihe proposition of the Peace Conference held in this city, secures all and even more to the South than that intro- duced by Mr. Crittenden. ‘The R: pwdiican thinks the Hon.Wm.C. Rives, after having ‘“‘doue nothing but agitate the slavery question for the last six months,” is not the man to charge others with “ keeping alive and fomenting agitation.” Wuat or tux Dar ?—At no time since the be development of the plans of the conspirators destroy the Union, has there been mere excite- ament in the public mind upon the subject eng- ging the attention of all, than now. A main fea- ture in their schemes has been the policy of bring- ing about am armed collision between the forces of the Government of the United States and the partizans of the Oligarchy in Arms. From first to last, that policy has been admitted to be the only one through the exeeution of which hopes bave been entertained of involving the border ‘States in the treason of those States whose local governments have been usurped by the Oligarchy Nearly every newspaper in the latter’s interest bas been urging the importance to their cause, of the inauguration of civil war by assailing Fort Sumter or Fort Pickens. We might fill the Star with quotations from speeches in their conven- tions, and publications in journals like the Charleston M-rcuryand Richmond Exguirer, ur- ging an attack on Sumter or Pickens, as the only possivic mens of 80 ** Nripg the Soutnern neart,”” as to induce the border States to make common cause with the Oligarchy. The remarkable pru- dence displayed by the Government at this point up to this time, in the matter of avoiding a colll- sioa with arms, bas baffled all the schemes of the usurpers, and rendered it so plain to all that their usurpation must soon come to an end throvgh the dead weight of its own monstrosity, as that the Oligarchy have already grown desperate. Their military movements around and towards Fort Pickens—2l! of which are in palpable falsi- fication of the fsith pledged in their quasi treaty— truce—made with the Uuited States (to leave the mrilitary statusin Pensacola bay precisely ns it was when the truce was made) prove that, if they can, they will surely very soon inaugurate the civil war they have been trying to make, as ex- Plained above. Day by day, and hour by hour, they have been violating the truce mentioned above by erecting new batteries, designed to render it difficult, if not impossible, for the Gev- ernment to communicate frevly with Fort Pickens; until it bas become evident that their purpose fs to assail it, unless the Government here consent to abandon it to them. We freely confess tliat we should regard its abandonwent by the Government as the wisest conceivable policy. Except for local purposes— for the defence of Pensacola and its Navy Yard, the possession of Fort P.ckens is of no earthly importance to the United Siates; and to continue to hold it when not designing at the came time to maintain {ntact {ts wouted authority over the town of Pensacola, can mean nothing else than that points of so-called honor are entering into the Government’s policy in that quarter. We desire not to be misunderstood in this con- Rection. The Government hasan absolute legal right to hold-Fort Pickens against the world, and Were it not that the relinquishment of that right will surely result in the very speedy downfall of the Oligarcby by action of those whom they have robbed of their liberties, we should counsel {ts maintenance at ali hazards. In the last sixty days the usurpation has been losing ground throughout tae South with fearful rapidity. In that time it has become apparent to all that its authority is but 2 naked despetiem, founded on the deliberate purpose of robbing the people of thelr every dis- tunetive American liberty. Even its chief apclo- gist, the New York Herald, bas at length come to admit that fact; as in {ts issue of yesterday, as follows : <a Want fective ri vie country, bave a right to be heard in all ustters at cting the public ‘weal, 4RE SUBJECTED To a D&SPOTISM MORE oDiots THAN THAT OF AUSTRIA o& RUSsIa IN THEIR DARKEST Days, and are induced to submit by the Malatenance of au armed force raised and placed in the eld when no enemy has threatened tw vio- late the integrity of the soil.” We know weil that tue life of the Oligarchy’s Power under such circumstances will be meas- ured by days, and not by years, ualess they suc. ceed in diverting the attention of the bona Side citizens of the States tuey have so grievously wronged, from due refiection on the means through a resort to which they have so far suc- ceeded. They can only thus divert their atte tion by turning the South into one vast camp. ‘Phat shat is their purpos2 ali must now realize WI continultig to hoid Fort Pickens Strengthen the muthority of the United States in Or over the seceded States in any conceivable way? Will tts evacuation—a mere local point as it is—wesken ‘the cause of the United States 2s involved in the imbroglio, in any conceivable point or way? Will it mot afford to the Oligarchy the very opportunity of inaugurating war, on which all their hopes of finally establishing their authority throughout the South, binges’ Will not {ts aban- donmeat insure the destruction of the Oligarchy’s existing power on the one hand, and its reten- tion uader ex‘sting circumstances increase their chance of confirming their authority a hundred fold, om the other? In tlew of these facta only, do we counsel the eviction of Pickens—as being worth a thousand fold more to the righteous cause of the Govern- ment, than the policy of continuing to hold it This ts not the rst occasion in the history of semi-belligereut diplomacy, tn which great battles of statesmanship have been won by a policy of masterly iuactivity—as we know well, this will be swiftly wou, if it be persevered in but a few months louger—and as the Oligarchy well know, of they would not labor so intensely as of late to Induce the Government at this point to zbandon It. ———$ Tux Reason Way —The leading disunionists in Richmond have secretly calied a mass conven- tlon of their sympathizers, from every county of Virginia, to meet fn that city on the 16th instant. This movement having g0t wind, the reason alleged for it is their desire to organize for the approaching Congressional election. The true Purpose is, doubtless, that the men to be thus assembled in Richmond may play an important part fn thelr persistent game of overawing and browbeating the Unionists of the Convention, emayed up to this time signally in vain. Every ehrouic enemy of his country whom Virginia contains, not yet ia Richmoad, will obey the call; and an effort to tmaugurate a reign of terror there, such as was never before dreamed of in that region, will be made. The scheme will fail of procuring the passage of a sensation ordinance, as designed een Ae Maron Bux McCeciovan.—We are informed that Majér Ben McCullough, of Texas, was seen to emerge yesterday morning about daybreak from the residence of a gentleman in the Pirst Ward of this city, noted for bis complexity with the counsels of the chief conspirators of the Oli- gerchystthis point. On quitting the house he Inounted 8 horse standing conveniently near the door, and rode off—doubdtiess across the Long Bridge, into Virginia, from whence, we take it for granted, he came to Psy this secret midnight visit to the Federal Metropolis.

There is not the slightest doubt that, to-morrow or Sun- day, a large force of army soldiers will leave for some unknown destination. ‘The varrison of Fort Hamilton'wus paid off yesterday, the last move reparatory to marching. Officers were arriving rom Washington, individuaily, all day yesterday, and, carpet-bays in band. reporting themselves for duty. The village of Fort Hamilton was like a stormed citadel. ‘Troops who bad just got their money, having been indulging freely in stimu- lants, icused the sidewalks in knots of from tive to ey boisterously discussing the affairs of the nation. Fort Lafayette, near Hamilton, New York bar- bor, has been garrisoned. A troop of Sappers and Miners arrived from the Federal Capital on Wednesday night late, and were quartered at that fort, there belng no room in the opposite one. Detachments of picket men were engaged all yes- terday preparing hay, oats, ambulance, and stores for embarkation, and getting places ready for the accommodation of two companies of artillery ex- " jast night.

Men were kept working all Wednesday night and last night on board the steam frigate Powhatan. Yesterday a large force of laborers on board were reinforced by the crew, lately detached, who assisted in get- ting in the necessities for a special cruise, and pushed forward the general preparations. Even while they were at dinner on board the North Cerolina, hands were put on to Teplace them.

During the firing it fs said that the schooner displayed the ‘‘United States ensign,” but as her cbaracter and not her nationality was in question she should immediately have come to and held intercourse with the commander on the Island, instead of acting in a manner that produced the impression that she intended to force a passage. Soon after the firing took place, a boat from Fort Somter visited Morris’ Island, sent by Major An- derson to make enquiry into the cause of the ves- sel having been shot at, and also to request per- mission for his boat+o proceed to the schooner; and it is reported that the boat did go to the aus- iclous vessel, but of this we have no certain in- formation. About six o’clock last evening the steamer General Clinch, with Lieut T B. Buger, was sent from the city to look after the schooner and investigate her character, but after proceeding some Gistence down the channel they were un- able to discover anything of her, and suppose that she had gone to sea. As the wind was blowing very strong from the northeast, she will, no doubt, take a southerly course.

On motion of Mr. Critcher it was amended by taserting the words “dissolve their connexion with” in lieu of ‘cast off their obedi- ence to”” Mr. Moore movedito strike out the word “wrongs” and insert “ea 3” the idea Deing thet wrongs not States to se- eede.

Mr. Wise moved to strike out the whole, and insert a substitute contemplating resistance to the wrongs of the South, indulging a desire for an adjustment, and that Virginia should not offer or adopt any terms of ajustment which ought not to be acceptable to the Srceded States, and restore them tothe Union. The committee, by a vote of 57 ayes to 33 noes. refased this substitnte, Mr, Wise then moved toamend by adding the last clause of the forgoing substitute, which was re- jected, 61 to 74. “The resolution was then adopted as plows: » Resolved, That deeply deploring the present distracted condition of the pect labating the wrongs that have tinpelled some of the States to dissoive their connection with the Feders] Government, but sensible of the blessings of the Union, and impressed with its importance to the peace. prosperity, and progress of the ple, we earn y, lesire an adjustment to benched by which the Union can be re-established in its In- ‘tegrity, and peace, prosperity, and fraternal feelings, be restored nrounbadt bis land The seventh resolution then came up, and amended on motion of Governor Wise, by strik- ing out all from the word Governments to the last sentence.

To move the existing causes of complaint much may be cote throaer by the Federal and State Governments, [the laws for the rendition of fugitives from labor and of fugitives from juatice may be made more effectual, the expenditures of the Government may be reduced within more moderate limits and ihe abuses that have entered into the administrative departments reformed. ‘The State authorities may repeal their unfriendly and unconst{tutional legislation, and substitute in its stead such es becomes the comity and ts due to the rights of the States of the Union ] But to restore the Union and preserve confidence the Federa!

This was rejected—ayes 40, nays 93 The seventh resolution, as amended, was adopted. The eight was passed by for the Present, and the ninth was taken up Mr. Conrad moved to strike out in the first line the words ‘‘exercise of the rights,” and Insert “withdrawal from the Federal Government.” Agreed to.

The [exercise of this right) ‘withdrawal from the Federal Government” by the States of South Torolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Lousiana and Texas, without the assent of the other States, bas given rise to new condi- tions, and presented questions touching those con- ditions intimately allecting the rights and safety ofthe other States. Among these are the free navigation of the Mississippi river, the main- tenance of the forts intended to protect the com- merce of the Gulf of Mexico, and the power to re- ng along the interior borders of the ; but the Federal authorities, under he Constitution as it is, disclaim power to recog- nize the withdrawal of any State from the Union axd consequentiy to deal with those questions, holding that it is reserved only to the Siates as parties to Government compact to take lawful action touching them. ‘The eight resolution, passed over, is n!1 follows: 8. The peepic of Virginia recognize the Ameri- can princ es that government is founded in the consent of the governed, and they concede the right of the people of the several States of the Union, for just causes, to withdraw from their as- sociation under the Federal Government with the people of the other States, and to erect new gov- ernments for their better security, and they will never consent that the Federal power, which isin pirtthetr power, shall be exercised for the pur- pose of subjugating the people of such States to the Federal authority.
