esignation of Hon. John B. Floyd, Secretary of War, was tendered on Saturday, and accepted by the President.--The Star of the evening before, foreshadowing this result, says: The on dit of the day, immediately around us is, that Secretaries Floyd, Thompson, and Thomas, all of whom believe in the alleged constitutional right of secession, it will be remembered, have formally notified the President that they will resign their respective portfolios unless he accede to the demand of the South Carolina Commissioners, that orders shall be issued to Major Anderson directing him to go back to Fort Moultrie from Fort Sumter, with all his force — of course thus shadowing the latter to the --This rumor is probably true. we may not inappropriately add, that if such orders are issued to Major Anderson.

A message from Collector Colcock announced that himself and all his subordinates had commenced receiving duties under the authority of South Carolina, and were transferring other business in the name of the State. Dunkin saSouth Carolina, and were transferring other business in the name of the State. Dunkin said the Legislature had recently permitted the Banks of the State to delivered specie payment, and now specie was at 1 per cent. premium. This operated very unequally and unjustly; duties were payable in specie, and taxes were payable in the notes of the Banks. He offered a resolution that the collectors of the State should be auzing the reception by the collectors of the bills of all the Banks of the State, provided none be below the par value of the notes of the Bank of the State of South Carolina. The Committee on the Constitution prepared an ordinance concerning the powers lately vested in Congress, which are now transferred to the State Legislature-

n, for they (the Republicans) intended to amend it to suit themselves. This is what Seward is after in his proposition to admit all the Territories at once as States. Kansas, Nebraska, Washington, Idaho, Nevada and Utah will become Northern States, adding twelve to the Republican strength in the Senate. Very soon they will have the two-thirds requisite to amend the Constitution, and reconstruct the Supreme Court according to their own notions. Meantime, the fact of Anderson's holding South Carolina in check, will stiffen the Republican neck. They foresee that Fort Monroe will do as much for Virginia. With the navy they will blockade all our ports. Of a certainty, they will whip us in if they can. What can we in Virginia do? A good deal. Our Military Institute has filled the State with competent officers. Our citizens are brave. We are better organized than any other State in the Union.

d, but there was an express stipulation in the treaty that the forts should be relinquished. No such stipulation exists as between the Federal Government and South Carolina. But let us say no more about the matter. As Virginians, as Southern men, we shall soon be called upon to take our stand in behalf of our common rights and ast night, the President, after declaring that Anderson had acted in violation of orders, and of the written agreement, signed by his own hand, and carried to South Carolina by Mr. Miles, was undecided what to do in the premises — whether to order Anderson back to Fort Moultrie, where he belongs, or to keep him in Fort Sumter, and to meet it, the fault will be your own. I tell you most seriously, that, in all human probability, hostilities will commence within ten days from this time. South Carolina may fail to conquer Fort Sumter at the first, second or third assault; but it will be taken, cost what it may. That is my belief, after hearing all sides of t

rty of the General Government from attack and its laws from violation.--This is his duty, and this much the people of the country have a right to demand of him. We hear persons deprecate this movement in Charleston harbor as a menace to South Carolina, and an act likely to lead to bloodshed. The responsibility of such a collision will not then rest with the Federal Government. South Carolina has been menacing the Government for some time. Its act of secession was a menace, for it openlySouth Carolina has been menacing the Government for some time. Its act of secession was a menace, for it openly repudiated the authority of the Government, and resolved to maintain its independence by force of arms if necessary. Every act since has been in the same direction, leading nearer to open hostility. This is lawless menace, which the Government has forborne to treat as rebellion till it comes to open resistance to the operation of the laws. The Philadelphia Inquirer, also conservative, says: There is so much wisdom, energy, and military forecast in this movement as to create the belie
