of this place. There was a mock sun north
and another south of the sun, of equal size,
but smaller than the sun. The usual ac-
compartment of q white circle passing
through the mock suns, was also visible.
On the same evening, about a quarter past
nine o'clock, the moon presented the strange
appearance of a pale light cross passing
through il, and extending in four directions
some half a degree beyond its outer rim.
These phenomena are, Of course. owing to
some peculiar condition of the atmosphere.

RICHMOND, March l2.-In Convention to-
day, Summers made a strong speech of three
hours, advocating the peace propositions,
and urged such action as would meet the
views Of the whole State, and showed the
folly of passing a Secession Ordinance for
reference TO the people, as it would divide
them. He said that Virginia ought first to
command peace on all sides, then call a

Mr.. Lincoln may have determined to
abandon Fort Sumter, and he may not. If
he has, the first question that arises is, under
what constraint of circumstances did he act2
TIE abandonment of a military establish
ment uay be a wise measure, and it may be
otherwise.
The country has pronounced in favor Of
the wisdom Of Major Anderson in his deser-
ton Of Fort Moultrie: may there not be facts
which will render that of Fort Sumter
equally commendable?
Sumter is said to be short of provisions.
1t can not be supplied without large means
in men and material, and some considerable
fighting. The place is utterly useless, aud
the only reason for continuing in possession
of it is one of pride. This ratification does
not hinder Secession for that is already
accomplished. 1t is ofno value in aid of re-
construction, if reconstruction is desirable.
The question, therefore, whether troops shall
be sent and money expended to re-enforce
and supply it with provisions, is one that
a prudent Executive will answer according
to his view Of the circumstances and to
this extent, it is probable that Mr.. Lincoln
may be trusted, without affording ground
for the impeachment of either his courage
or his honesty.
