New York Times Core spondence
WAsHIHGToN, January 3l.-It is under
stood here that the first movement in the
Board of Commissioners from the States, to
meet here next Monday, will be propositions
from Virginia for the withdrawal of the
Federal troops from the Capital, the States
guaranteeing that there shall be no hostile
demonstrations affecting the peace of the
Capital.
A Virginian in high standing, and one
who is well posted in regard to the move
ments of the Secession conspirators, declares,
with evident sincerity, that there is no longer
any purpose to seize upon the Federal Capt.
tai by force.
Colonel Hayne will hand a written com
munication to the President tomorrow, pro-
posing, in the name of South Carolina, to
pay full value for all Federal property
within her jurisdiction, if the President will
cause Fort Sumter to be evacuated, and the
troops withdrawn.
| lie has no hope that the proposition will
be accepted, and will wait but short time
for reply. He expects to leave for home
on Saturday.

ling declarations, although conservative
men, wrote Immediately 10 the Governor Of
their State, recommending him to place his
