Private advices from Charleston, to-day, show that the secessionists preparations for war are much more extensive than is generally supposed, involving expenditures enough to nearly beggar the State. The plan for the attack and capture of Fort Sumpter is common talk among the citizen soldiery, and they only await the signal from leading conspirators at a Washington to begin the assault. So imminent is considered the danger of an early collision that numbers of people ore constantly leaving the city. The plans of attack, alluded to, have been fully communicated to the Administration by parties personally familiar therewith.
