The Inteliigencer argues that the Ordinance of Secession wos defeated by the Louisiana Conven- tion and the returns suppressed by secessionists, and that one-fourth of the people did not vote at all, even if the ordinance was adopted. The Repudlican says that the only power vested in the Virginia Convention is the privilege of submitting to the peeple an ordinance of secession for their approval or rejection, and that the people are much more likely todecide wisely than the members of a convention overawed by the popu- lace of a city. ———————.-2—_____ WovLp raat it were Tavs !—The New York Commercial Advertiser says that Jefferson Davis has given orders that if tue Government sends a vessel into Charleston harbor merely to bear pro- visions to the garrison in Fort Sumter, she {s not to be fired into. In vicw of the fact that the Oli- garebic authorities have violated their pledge that Anderson should be permitted to purchase provisions in Charleston if the Government would refrain from attempting to reiaforce bim, if there ie anything like true honor and good faith left in their breasts, Davis may well bave issued the order mentioned above. When they gave the pledge, they knew well that it was in the Gov- ernment's power to Lave reinforced Andersonat will, and to crush out all forcible opposition to ite authority in Charleston barbor. as easily asa strong men may crush an egg shell. Hence the pledge was given, and the condition exacted from theGoverament. But the instant the Oligarchy’s Preperations for assalling Sumter were completed, Anderson was notified that the pledge would no longer be observed. The bad faith involved tn the train of circum- Stances making it probable that withia twenty. four bourse we sball have news of the commence- ment in Charleston barbor of the direst calamity —civil war—that ever the world experienced, is therefore on the part of the Oligareby. It is so signaily and grossly =n act of bad faith on thei: part, ws that no pretense designed to conceal it ean possibly succeed anywhere, in this or any other country. It also mekes plain the fact that the Oligarchy have left the Government no other alternative save either to let Anderson’s command starve, or to withdraw it under circumstances wherein will be Involved au acknowledgment of the justice and legality of the usurpation of the government of the South on its part, which the President has no lawful right whatever to accord ithas clearly been the evident aim of the Gov- ernment to preserve the status of 2 ffairs in Charles- ton harbor, and throughout the seceded States. Precisely as they were when the Pledge was given that Anderson should be permitted to obtain pro- visions If the Government would make no attempt Yo retnforce bitm. In no way whatever did the Gov- erament violate its faith in this matter. Itadhered to {feo atrictly as that all the world perceived and acknowledyed its determination to tike no steps likely to resuit tn a collision, ere the aitticulty might be remitted to the arbitrament of a new Congress or to the people of the several States act- ing ta their sovereign capacity. Under these circumstances, and in view of the farther fact that the Ollgarchy have notoriously been straininy every nerve to prepare to assail An- derson’s command rs speedily as possible, (while the Government did not raise a flager to reinforce bim,or even to send bima barrel of supplies, until Beauregard notified Lim that he should get ne more provisions,) no amount of misrepresenta- tion can possibly create on the minds of any, the idea that the Government at this point is respon- sible for the fearful events in Charleston harbor, news of which may bs momentarily expected, as explained above. Inpiexaxtiy Retraep —It is well known that for some werks three respectable centlemen— Messrs. Forsyth, Crawford and Roman—bave been in Washington in the capacity of commissioners Or envoys exireordinary from the seceded States, and that their ostensible object was to effect a treaty fora permanent division of those States from the Unton, the recognition of their indepen- dente by the Federal Goverameat, and an adjust- ment of the territorial estate and other matters connec‘ed with the national partnership. Noone supposed they seriously entertained the idea that they would be successfal in their mission; in fact, they could not have expected it themselves. But they nevertheless went to work, as if in earnest, and delicately foreshadowed their purposes to the Administration. If we are to believe the state- ments which have reached us, the Secretary of State, for the Government, following the example tu the of the South Carolina Commissioners, bas courteously informed them that they cannot be received in a diplomatic or official character Several notes passed; so, at last, they fired a huge sbot at the Administration, accusing tt of per- idity, charging that, if civil war resulted from this non-compliance with their unreasonable and illegal demands, on the head of the Administra- tion will rest the awful responalbility; and, 1t is further stated, they express the firm conviction that war is inevitable. Having thus relieved themaelves, they yesterday left Washington, bound for Montgomery, to make their oral repre- tentations, we suppose, to the government at that point. ‘As they did not—could not—have anticipated a successful termination of their mission, weare at & lots to conceive why they shoud be chagriaed. The Administration was not disposed to be in- tensely frightened at any amount of threats conse- quent on the failure of their diplomacy. We merely allude to the facta—they carry their own comments. As, however, tothe reaponsibili- ty for civil war, should it lamentably result, ali rightthinking People will attribute it to those who precipitated revolution, set ali laws at de- fiance, seized the public Property, and placed their military “house in order” even before Presi- dent Lincoln was officially declared duly elected ' The Sighting condition was initiated by the soar States—on their head will be the respon- ity. ese PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS —To-day, the President made the following appointments, viz: C.C.

French, of Va., has been removed from bis position of an Examiner in the Patent Office, ($2,500 per annum.) Ricnumonp —There js now no Union paper published in Richmond, Virginia, the Whig being as fully in the interest of disunion as either the Enquirer, Examiner or Dispatch. To Place it in that position its late editor was re- moved from its tripod. as we explained some days since. its game is to publish versions of passing events, &c., likely toaid the disunion cause in the Virginia Convention, while care- folly refraining from making a public announce- ment «{ the fact that it no longer sympathizes directly or indirectly with the Union cause. Mr. Ridgeway was removed from its control that its double dealing game might be played just as it has been played, to the best advantage for the disunion cause. Until the friends of the Union in Virginia come toa general knowledge of these facts, jt may be expected that the current insidi- ous labors of the Whig will aid the disunion canse not a little. Septet eae Tue Prospect or Pack —Without having de finite information to that effect, it is clear from what we benr around us, that the President be- lieves that Jefferson Davis has saved the honor of the Oligarchy in the matter of food for Ander- son’s command, by directing that the vessel bear- ing Lim supplies shall be permitted to perform hererrand unmolested. If this should prove to be the case, the country will instantly breathe freely again; as all danger of speedy collision will have Instantly vanished.

There is only one other coinmissioned officer—Lieut. Porter. The works at the arsenal are ids cater pe vinmn even on Sunday.* The preparation of cartridges chiefly occupies the employees at present. Several small sailing vessels are also sapere to have been chartered by Government, probably for the same parposs as those which have already been dispa to Mobile, in the seceding State of Ala- iched. THE NAVY YARD. There is no doubt that orders for the immediate fitting-out of the United States ships Wabash, Perry and Savannah, have been received at the srt fa a ard. ousin, The the Wabash was removed yes- terday, extra fends put to work on her. and pre- paratlons were made to put coal on board, which shows that the authorities are ina hurry to have her completed for commission. From the ap- rance of things, her machinery will be finished y Mr. King very soon, and steam will probably be applied on Saturday. The rigging, carpen- ter’s work and ordnance, were taken in hands, tobe hurriedly got ready. The Wabash is in fine condition, rates 40 guns, but does not carr more than 25, is 3.200 tons burthen, and was bulit at Philadelphia in 1855. Having been constructed of timber, fresh and green from the woods, and subsequently sent toa warm climate, she was, at one time, deemed unsound, but is now all right. She will be fit for commission in three wee! The big Perry, whose state of readiness is to be turned into condition for active service, will be rigged to-day. Six days will suffice to put her in duty trim. The Perry is 230 tous burden, carries 6 guns, and was built at Gosport in 1843 she has cruised on nearly every station, and was last attached to the Paraguay expedition.
