This will lie one of the moat Important weeks
in American hbtory, ami upon the nature ol Hie
action decided upon More U closoa ,''
future deslinv of ihe republic- may depend
The people of Virginia will virtually del-ruiine
hv the character ol the men they select to their
State Convention whether they, too, will be pre-cipitat-d
into the Recession revolution, and
forced to join their fortunes wih the men who
are attempting to form a new Southern Conreile
racy. The delegates from the six revolting
States of Alabama. Florida, Georgia. Louisisnna,
Mississippi, and South Carolina will endeavor,
at Montgomery, to forma Provisional Govern
ment, which they hope to render a rallying point
for all the other slavehnldlng 6lates if an ami
calile adjustment of tho existing difficulties is not
aoon made, i no Yunuus peace piupcamnHis
which have long been under discussion in Con
gress will also protiahly he voted upon during the
nresent week, a notice has been given of an in
tention to bring to a close the protracted debate.
And just at this period, too, the conference of
Commissioners, appointed by a number of differ
ent States it the suggestion of Virginia, takes
place at Washington, and although it cannot
control the legblation or change the Constitu
tion ol the country ; yet, by wiso and conciliato
ry action, it can do murh to restore peace and
harmony, or. by a failure or refusal to recognize
tho overwhelming necessity for mutual sacrifices
and concessions for the common welfare of the
whole American people, it can still further widen
the existing breach, and render the salvation nf
the Union almost impossible. Commissioners
will lie present representing the froe (Stales of
Illinois, Indiana, New York, New Jersey, New
Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Vermont, Iowa, and Connecticut, and the slave
Slate of Virginia. Delaware, Kentucky, Mary
hind, Missouri, Noilh Carolina, and Tennessee
Tue movement, c wsideriiig the limited lima
which has elupscd since it was originated, has
become a very general one.- It was but natural
ihut the six Stales which h.ive already seceded,
and two others Texas and Arkansas which are
apparently preparing for secession, should not
have participated in it. California and Oregon
were loo distant to send Commissioners in time j
fur the day fixed fur the meeting. Michigan and j
Massachusetts have refused, and Maine, Miiineso- j
la. Kansas, Wisconsin have virtually declined to I
be represent ed. Hut, still the States which have j.
chosen Commissioners contain much more than 1
half Ihe population ol' the whole country ; th.-y
occupy an inllueiitial and com minding position,
and their united counsels would exercise an
almost irresistible influence. Philadelphia Press.

The Charleston correspondent of the New
York Time, suts :
"It is a mutter of great surprise here that
a certain leudiui; sheet in vnur citv should
give circulation to the moriFtrnus rumor cou-
cerning Mhj. A nderson s intended sin render
i of Eort Sumter when Lincoln assumes tho
Presidential reins. South Carolinians are
j brave if Ihey uro so rash, and they worship
oravery in others. I hey know and feel that
the commander of thai island fort that sternly
frowns on their city, and who holds the lives
of tins people it; his iron will, is perfectly
incnriiiht'le. His father was a hero, uud de
feuded this very city against the British.
His mother was of the same blood ns Chief
Justice Marshall, of Virginia, and he himself
is till led by marriage to a daughter of the
gallunt Clinch, ol tjeorgia. His being born
in a Slave State, end allied by tnarriuge to
one, bus nothing to do with his patriotism
now, or his fancied position hereafter. An
author, a boldier, and a gentleman, a man of
strict religious sentiments, Muj. Andeison is
looked upon here as sound tn the core in his
devotion to the Union which they have cast
o-Jt, and they know he will deleud himself if
culled upon, even though he may burl de.
structiou on Moultrie, 1'iuckuey, und Chailcs
ton itsilf.
"Although it is generally considered that
the present .,'. will remain until the 4th of
March, yet if Fort Pickens should be rein
forced, and Pensuculu reinvested, 1 should
not lie surprised to see 10,000 men poer in
here from the country, who would ride over
every plea for delay, and assault Sumter
They might take it, but they would lose 2,000
men. Sixty feet hijih, and with a parapet
overhung ut such uu unglu, it would be im
possible to escalade. Tlfe only way would be
the floating upon it of some huge ruft, so
heaped with un-n that they would overcome
all resistance by tbe mere force of brute
nun, be is."
Pktkoi.ei'M On.. We were shown, on
Saturday lust, several samples of tho lately
discovered Petroleum oil, tnkeu from a well
suuk at Smith's l-Vrry, in Beaver county,
Pennsylvania, about 2ii miles from Pittsburg.
Thu sumples were six in number, all from the
same source, but varying in appearance from
the chemical changes they have uodergono iu
the bauds of the goutlumao who exhibit them
Mr. Ceo. lloburt, of Philadelphia, who has
devoted considerable attention to the devel
opeuient of Ibe various qualities inherent in
the article. Tho fiuest of the sample; was an
article that in appearance and smell bears a
strong resemblance to the oil or almonds, and
indeed is Bold to the uuinitiated for that arti
cle. Its perfume is dulighlful, end suiting all
tho purposes of bilter almonds, for which it
will doubtless, be in a great meusure substi
tuted, as it can be uffurdud at a much lower
price. 'I he uext is a very superior burninc
oil, perfectly transparent aud ulmosl devoid
of smell and smoke in burning, and nut ej-jilo-
sice, i be ngni ii emits :s almost as brilliant
as gas, aud where that article is not to bu
bad, this luruishes a good substitute.
Another was a lubricating oil. lor median-
icul purposes which is said to be superior to
all other lubricating oils, from tbe fact alone
that it does utt "gum," a very serious objec
tion to must other oils uow in use.
The next was a coloring liquid extracted
from the oil which will impart a color etpial to
the French to woolen, Haxen, and cotton
fabrics, and it is said to answer the same pur
pose in dyeing of of an article imported from
orouo, ul trout twenty to eighty dollars a
pound in coloring royal purple, yellow, Ac,
while this cun be atlorded at from bliy ceulu
to forty dulluis a pound, according to quality
uud the color needed.
The last of the samples is the refuse of the
oil, which mukea a most excellent W blixk-
tng, imparling a gloss equal to tbo famous
Uay A; Marlin s, ol Loudon, costing almost
nothing and acting as a preservative of tho
leather.
