From Washington. Washington, Feb. 13. --Besides guarding the public buildings from fear of conspiracy, the vaults of the Capitol are examined from time to time to guard against a Guy Fawke's plot. The United States artillery were ready to-day at a moments warning, but the Electoral votes being counted peacefully, were not wanted. Gov. Hicks was before the special (conspiracy) committee to-day. He said, that from private letters and newspaper articles, he thought there would be a disturbance at the inauguration, and attempted seizure of public buildings.

dispatch is received, and if genuine, (which its extraordinary character leads me to doubt,) I have to say in reply that I regard a levy of troops for the purpose of subjugating the States of the South, as in violation of the Constitution and a usurpation of power. I can be no party to this wicked violation of the laws of the country, and to this war upon the liberties of a free people. You can get no troops from North Carolina. I will reply more in detail when your call is received by mail. John W. Ellis, Governor of North Carolina. From the Governor of Maryland. WashingtonApril 16. -- Gov. Hicks has informed the Secretary of War that Maryland will respond to the call for a quota of troops.
