But when tho people of tho State, in ioveroigrt convention assembled, determino to re? junto their original powers of soparato and inda - i null nt Bivoreigiity, tho wholo questltn is chnng ;d, and it ia no longer an act of rebellion. I Jiereforq moat respectfully urgo that all work on he torta bo pul a stop to fbi' tho proaout, and that io more force may bo ordered there. The regular Convention of the pcoplo of tho Hato ol South Carolina, legally and properly tilled under our Constitution, is now in session, loliborntittg upon tho gravest and moat momon OUB questions, and tho oxeitomont of tho great nasses of tbo pcoplo is great, under a aensu of len]) wrongs, and a profound necessity of doing lomotbing to preservo tho peace and safety of tho Unto. . . ..

If Fort inuit et- could bo given to mo as Governor, under a ?ermiflston similar to that by which tho Governor van permitted to keon the Arsenal, with tho United ?talus arms, in tho city of Charleston, thon I think ho public mind would be quieted, undor a fooling if safety; and ns tho Convention in nnw in full luthority, it strikes mo that it contd be dono with Htrfitct propriety. 1 need not go Into particulara, ur urgent reasons will forco thomscvoe readily tptin your consideration.

' Thal tho writor wan perfectly satisfied "Ibo ] status of tho garrison would not bo disturbed." That tho withdrawal of tho lotter "waa a groat relief to tho President, who is most oarnoslly. anxious to avoid an ienuo with tim Hiato or its authorities, and I think hos onoouragod hie dispo? sition to go aa far aa ho can in thia matter," In other words tho sncesslonlsbj in Washing? ton wcro itcrfoctly euro, from thiso manifoatf tiona of Buchanan's "disposiUon," that ho was essen? tially on their sido.

After thia mattera acorn to havo worked moro smoothly, for Scbnierlo is suddenly reported "un? well, and Him Olin, who had urged tho import ruirjo of "a skilled and educated military man," was himself put in command, which probably satisfied him. Thou, on tho Oth of January, we havo an order from Dickens, commanding Cob Gwynn, White ond Trapior, Engineers, and Col. ManiganJt, Orduanco Officer, to "come together immediately and consider and report tho most favorable plan for operating upon Fort Sumter, so as to i-oduco that fortrose, by battorios or other moans in our possession." On tho 10th thoso officers reply* submitting % plan, from wbich I may make.ari oxtr.iet ?

In tho midst of those aflalra an oplalde occurs tho firing on the Star of the West, which, on tho ninth of January, ondoavorod to approach Fort Sumter with reinforcements and supplies.
