Col. Hayne made bis formal communica-
ton to the President yesterday. So far from
demanding The surrender of Fort Sumter as
the ultim .tum, the tone IS quite pacific and
conciliafory Gov. Piekens and the State
authorities do not desire collision, and have
exerted their influence tn prevent it. The
outside pressure is for fight but this reckless
ness has been restrained by those who know
that it would involve large loss of life with
out accomplishing the object. Fort Sumter
cannot be taken with the force and appli-
anees now before It.

The washington Conference.

The Virginia Conference Convention will
keep as secret as possible iu their deibera-
tons Why this should be done we cannot
tell, unless it is to further frighten the North

Of the Tszed question viii be attained. To
ensure q harmonious action in that Conven
ton, there are many who viii make haste
70 giant all that is asked by the SOutheners,
if they are given to understand that the re-
fasal of the Northern States to do this, is
blocking the wheels of Cancellation. For
ourselves, we shall be surprised if any good
to the country comes from that conference.
