Maryland State Convention. --The Maryland State Convention has adjourned, subject to the call of the President, until the 12th of March, unless "Virginia should take some definite action sooner than that date." The resolutions adopted by the Convention assert that a full and fair expression of the popular will is most likely to be had by a Convention called on the recommendation of the Governor, and that as it is now asserted that the Governor will, by proclamation, authorize such a movement, in the event of the failure upon the part of Congress and the Peace Conference to adopt any satisfactory plan of compromise, the Convention approves that purpose, and adjourns until the 12th of March to await the Governor's action; unless intermediately the State of Virginia shall secede, when the Convention is to be immediately re-assembled at the call of its President.

The military movement from Moultrie to Sumter was, indeed, a violation of good faith, which would not be tolerated even in a state of acknowledged warfare between civilized nations. The report of the 12th of March that the evacuation of Fort Sumter had then been ordered, was another fraud and deception deliberately concocted for the purpose of influencing the Virginia Convention. The late removal of troops on the Gen. Rusk from Texas to Key West, after a solemn stipulation with the Texas Commissioners that they should be taken to New York, was another deliberate deception, which could scarcely be excused on the presumption of actual war.-- And finally we have the letter of the Secretary of War de
