The public curiosity grew more general upon the

Meantime, Lieut. Snyder he'd mentioned the fact
of the firing into the unknown schooner (as des-
eribed in our issue of yesterday and informed
the Governor that the vessel in question was .
Boston schooner, loaded with ice; and bound for
Savannah, and that she had put into this harbor
on account of stress Of weather. He further said
that one Of the shots had passed through the
schooners sail. Lieut.. Snyder then returned to
the wharf, in company with an aid, and went
back to the Fort. During his interview with the
Governor, the soldiers who manned the boat hsd
seized the opportunity to lay in some coveted in.
divdual supplies of whiskey, tobacco, eatables,
and host Of other provisions, making in all no
less than thirty Eve packages. The police, how
ever, had kept bright eye upon the soldiers,
and when the provisioning was complete, they
quietly seized all the packages and transferred
them to the guard house.
Duling the whole of yesterday afternoon all
kinds Of rumors were rife on the streets. A
vague impression had somehow got abroad that
the long agony of suspense and inaction was to
be speedily and abruptly ended, but how, or
when, or by whose orders, nobody could tell
We have made diligent inquiry; and, lin the abb
sence Of official information which, in juncture
like this, is seldom made public,) we deem the
following facts to be reasonably certain:
First. That the supplies Of provisions and the
mails, hitherto furnished regularly TO the garrison
of Fort Sumter, to be cut off to-day, and thas
no further communication will be allowed be-
tween Major Anderson and the Government at
Washington. m1 9Jr
Second. That the troops at all the State for
tifcations are now finally disposed, equipped, and
provided for, 60 as to be ready for actisn at q
moments warning. al.1 s.ss.
Third That no attack of any kind will be made
upon Fort Sumter until further orders, unless
such an attack should be provoked by Major An.
derson, or by an attempt on the part of his gov
eminent to bring aid to the beleagured fortress.
Fourth. That these measures are taken at the
instance of the Government of the Confederate
States, which has lost all confidence in the pro-
fessions Of the Lincoln Administration. ..s
We have said that this information has no Of
fetal sanction; but we have not given it without
sitting thoroughly all the conflicting reports prev
alent last night, and we think it can be relied on
as affordng fair outline of the new policy to be
pursued ,henceforth with regard to the ''saucy

your readers. 1t was in the course of the Bs-
den campaign that Mirolavski, the well known
Polish exile, made the acquaintance of enc Herr
Wiesner, who subsequently, followed him to Italy,
and proposed to serve the revolutionary party
with his per. A sort of literary agency was soon

appointed promoter of national and radical
plans. But the Italians Il here quote from tue

own eyes. Notwithstanding the recommends
ton of General Mirosiavski, they watched his
journalistic friend, and few months ago sue
ceeded in discovering his intimacy with several
Bavarian gentlemen in the same place. Once
suspected, the suspicious acquain:ances were one

The anticipation proved to be correct. The Ba.

Benedsk, in which Wiesner offered to betray the
secret designs of Garibaldi for the sum of forty
thousand francs. The traitor has been arrested
on another charge, and the letter in question
handed over to the court.

| We have conversed freely with members Of
the Convention, and we are persuaded that the
action of the. body will be eminently wise and
conservative, and, as our distant readers will
naturally desire to know what that action will
be, we venture, for their satisfaction, to state
our Impressions on the subject.
| We believe that, after full debate and thor.
ough examination, the Convention will indicate
by resolutions the constitutional amendments
and guarantees which, in the judgment of vr-
gnia are necessary for the security of her rights
and institutions. When these are agreed on,
| she will invite conference of the non seeded
States, at Frankfort or Nashville, to consider
our propositions, and to make common cause
with her. She will not offer her propositions as
an ultimatuu,, but merely as her contribution to
the general stock Of suggestions on the subject.
Some Of her wisest and most patriotic citizens
will be sent by the Convention to this conference,
and her propositions will there be considered,
and, it may be, modified in some respects, though
not in any essential particulars. When harmony
and concurrence shall have been secured among
the Border States, the propositions, as agreed on
by them, will be submitted az an ultimatum to
the Northern States
This ultimatum, we feel assured, will embrace
no unreasonable features-nothing which is no,
in strict conformity with the principles of the
Constitution, as understood and acted on by the
J Fathers of the Republic. If it should be &C.
cepted by the North, the Union will be pre-.
served and harmony restored. If, on the other
hand, it be rejected, then the Border States will,
in body, withdraw from the Union, and unite
with such States, both slave holding and nom
slaveholding as may be willing to adopt them.
| In the event of rejection, We believe that New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
and Illinois, will unite with the Border States
| The result may be to throw off the New England
| States, and the extreme North Western States.
