sENsArIoN NEws.-The newspapers are Just
now fuller than ever Of sensation dispatches from
every qaarter Of the country and sensation articles
pretending to explain the Governments policy; as
many ofthe latter coming from Its enemies as from
is friends simply aiming to prove their policy In
the crisis TO be that on which the Administration
Is resolved We advise the reader to take all such
efforts to minister to the excitement of the hour at
their true value only. We place no reliance
whatever upon them. Upto this moment, whether
emanating from this city or coming from North
or South, not one of them has turned out TO he
worth pinch Of snuff. Yesterday, 1t was said
here that Sumter had been attacked on the niybt
before-also Pickens; also that the Virginia Con.
vention had passed secession ordinance; also
that the ships and troops about to be sent out from
the North by the Government are destined to omen
war PRO forna, upon the coasts of South Carolina
Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and Louisiana, &c
&c-of which the public may believe as much as
they fancy. The publication of such stuff min
lsters only to The spirit Of disunion North and
South, and can hardly fail greatly to embarras.
the success Of the Governments efforts to avoid p,
hostile collision, which are certainly sincere
