eY-Deception was practiced in the Virginia
law authorizing a Convention. Its action will
not necessarily be submitted TO the people as
was supposed. That final reference is discraion-
airy with the Convention, and viii depend upon
its political complexion. If the Secessionists
get control, they viii never refer the ordinance
to popular vote. Intelligence from the interior
counties of Virginia represents that the best
men are put forward for the Convention, and
there is a decided reaction for the Union. If
the Legislature had allowed reasonable time
before the election, no doubt concerning the re-
suit would be entertained.

Mr.. Malory's dispatch last night to Gov.
Bigler states that, if the Brooklyn is to re-
inforce Fort Pickens, an attack will be
made upon, the fort by the LOO State
troops which are at Pensacola; that his
counsel is against an attack, even if the
fort reinforced, but the troops are impa-

answered to-day that the provisions on
board the Brooklyn, which ship, with 9TH

The fact having lately been communica-

Norfolk Navy Yard, that body of seees
sionists had threatened to take possession
of it, he answered them there was not
powder enough in the world to take it
without the consent of the United States
federal authorities, and if any number of
men attempted to do it they had better
make their wills first, for he would blow
them to Heaven or hell. The force of
this remark will be realized if mob at

there are at least twenty secret electric
trains laid, the slightest touch of either of
which would be sure destruction to every

if they want to drill they can do so at the

In view of the supposltion that Virginia
will vote in Convention on the 4th inst,
TO go out of the Union, which would pre-
cipitate action in Mary General Scott,
backed by several member of the Cabinet,
is ir favor of making a more formidable
demonstration to protect this city from at
tack, and thinks the President ougth to
call upon the States for volunteers. The
President is opposed to this policy, unless
he has changed his mind this alternoon.-
The fact that he is opposed to calling up
on the States for troops, creates a good
deal of alarm in many quarters for The
safely of the city. lt,may be asked how
the President can call for volunteers when
there is no law authorizing him to do so?
The answer is, that there is a bill in the
House giving him the power to call upon
the States, which will pass the moment it
Is tnown the President will not veto it,
1t Is charged that the secessionists are doing
their utmost to prevent the President from
