AN IMPORTANT LETTER. Gen, Scott's Views on the Rebellion, What he had to Contend with During Buchanan's Administration RIB ADVICE NOT NEEDED The Washington NiVionat Inteltigen cer of Oct. 22d, in giving publicity to the following opinions of General Scott, precedes them by the following edito rial comments- Early in the last year, when civil war seemed impending, but had not actually broken out, Gen. Scott, then at the head of the army, wrote two papers containing his views, profes sional and political, on the crisis, and the rights and duties which devolved on the Government in the momentous conjuncture. These two papers were subsequently lent to many friends to read, and one of them has recently been published, without the writer's consent, evidently for a party purpose. As the illustrious Old Warrior profes ses to belong to no party, other than that of the National Ildion, he has deemed it proper to give to the public himself the second of the papers re ferred to, lest it also might find its un authorized way into print. Ile has, therefore, forwarded it to us for inser tion in the National intelligencer, hav ing added to it a few explanatory " notes," which the lapse of time seem ed to render proper, The paper now submitted to the public by Gen. Scott, throws a flood of light on the history of the rebellion in its incipient stages, and will inspire every reader with deep interest. It establishes, in the first place, the pa- anxiety of the wise and watch ful General-in-Chief to prepare for the coming storm, and his earnest and re peated efforts to prevail on the govern ment to garrison and secure the south ern forts against every possible attack; and it discloses, in the second place, the causes of his failure, which, it is now evident, resulted from the indeci sion of the Executive. misled doubtless by treachery in the Secretary of War, it' not in other members. of the Cabinet, in whom the head of the Government reposed a misplaced and abused confi dence. This paper, we may add, must have the effect, with every candid mind, of vindicaking the character of die illustrious veteran General himself from imputations with which he has been recently assailed by presses whose .standard of merits is regulated only Jay party tests. SOUTHERN FORTS-A SUM3IARY, SC October 20, 1860, I emphatically .called the attention of the President to the necessity of strong garrisons in .Itll the forts below the principal com mercial cities of the Southern States, including, by name, the forts in Pen sacola harbor. October 31, I suggest ed to the Secretary of War that a cir cular should be sent at once to such of 'those forts as had garrisons to be on the alert against surprises and sudden assaults. (See my " Views," since printed.) After a long confinement to my bed, in New York, I came to this city (Washington) December 12. Next day I personally urged upon the Sec retary of War the same views, viz : strong garrisons in the Southern forts —those of Charleston mid Pensacola harbors at once; those on Mobile Bay and the :Mississippi, below New Orleans, next, &c., again pointed out the organiz .ed companies and the recruits at - the principal depots available for the purpose. The Secretary did not con cur in any of my views, when I begged him to procure for me an early inter view with the President, that I might make one effort more to save the forts and the Union. By appointment, the Secretary ac companied me to the President, De cember 15, when the same topics, Se cessionism, &e., were again pretty fully discussed. There being at the moment [in the opinion of the President] no danger of' an early Secession, beyond South Carolina, the President, in reply to my arguments for immediately re inforcing Fort Moultrie and sending a garrison to Fort Sumpter, said : " The time has not arrived for doing so; that he should wait the action of the Convention of South Carolina, in the expectation that a commission would be appointed and sent to nego tiate with him and Congress respecting I he Secession of the State and the pro perty of the United States held with in its limits; and that if Congress should decide against the Secession. then he would send a reinforcement, and telegraph the commanding otli,?er (Major Anderson) of Fort Moultrie, to hold the forts (Moultrie and Sumpter) against attack." And the Secretary, with animation, .added: "We have a vessel-of-war (the Brooklyn) held in readiness at Norfolk, and he would then send three hundred men in her from Fort Monroe to Charleston." To which I replied, first, that so ma ny men could not be withdrawn from that garrison, but could be taken from New York. Next, thlit it would then lie too late, as the South Carolina com missioners would have the same in their hands, by first using and then ,cutting the wires ; that as there was alot a soldier in Fort Sumpter, any ilandful of armed Secessionists might seize and occupy it, &c. Here the remark may be permitted, that if the Secretary's three hundred men had then, or some time later, been sent to Forts Moultrie and Sumpter, both would now have been in the pos 'session of the United States, and not a ; battery below them could have been erected by the Secessionists; conse quently the access to those forts from the sea would now (the end of March) be unobstructed and free.* The same, day, December 15, I wrote the foliowing note : Lieut. Gen. Scott begs the Presi dent to pardon him for supplying, in this note, what be omitted to say this morning at the interview with which he was honored by the President. " Long prior to the force bill (March 2,1833) prior to ,be issue of his proc lamation, and in part prior to the pas sage of the ordinance of nullification, President Jackson, under the act of larch 3, 107, authorizing the em ployment of the land and naval forces,' caused reinforcements to be sent to Ft. Moultrie, and a sloop of war, (the Natchez,) with two revenue cutters, to k: sent to Charleston harbor, in order. 1, to prevent the seizure of that fort by the nullifiers, and 2, to enforce the execution of the revenue Gen. Scott himself arrived at 'iimieston the day after the passage of the ordinance of nullification and many of the addi tional companies were then cu routs for the same destination. "President Jackson familiarly at the time that, by the asselittd.tg,t of those forces, for lawful purposes, he was not making war upon South Car olina ; but that if South Carolina at tacked them it would be South Caro lina that made war upon the United States.' "General S., who received his first instructions (oral) from the President, in the temporary absence of the Secre tary of War (General Cuss), remembers those expressions well. " Saturday night, Dcc. 15, 1860." DECEMBER 28.—Again, after Major Anderson had gallantly and wisely thrown his handfid of men from Fort Moultrie into Fort Sumpter—learning that, on demand of South Carolina, there was great danger he might be ordered by the Secretary back to the less tenable work, or out of the harbor —I wrote this note : "Lieutenant General Scott (who has bad a bad night, and can scarcely hold up his head this morning,) begs to express the hope to the Secretary o f Way :—L. That orders may not be jive,; for ;he evacuation of Ft. Sump ter. 2. That one hundred and fifty recru its may - instantly be sent from Governor's Isla.:d to reinforce that garrison, with arucle t7lMPlies of ammunition and stthsistencd, in cluding fresh vegetables, as pO - onions, turnips; and, 3. That one or two mined vessels be sent to support the said Fort. " Lieut. General S. avails himself of this opportunity also to express the hope that the recommendations here tofore made by him to the Secretary of War respecting Forts Jackson, St. Philip Morgan, and Pulaski, and par ticularly in respect to Fort Pickens and Mcßae, and the Pensacola Navy Yard, in connection with the last two named works, may be re-considered by the Secretary. " Lieutenant General S. will fur ther ask the attention of the Secreta ry to Forts Jefferson and Taylor, which are wholly national, being of far greater value even to the most distant points- of the Atlantic coast and the people on the upper waters of the Missouri, Mississippi and Ohio riv ers, than to the State of Florida.— There is only a feeble company at Key West for the defence of Ft. Tay lor, and not a soldier in Port Jefferson to resist a handfull of filibusters, or a row boat of pirates; and the Gulf, soon after the beginning of secession or revolutionary troubles in the adjacent States, will swarm with such nuisan ces." -I DECEMBER, 30.—1 addressed the President again as follows: " Lieutenant Genera/ Scott begs the President of the United States to par don the irregularity of this coin inani cation. It is Sunday, the weather is bad, and General S. is not well enough to go to church. "But matters of the highest, nation al importance seem to forbid a nio ment's delay, and if misled by zeal, he hopes for the President's forgiveness. " Will the President permit General S., without reference to the War De partment, and otherwise as secretly as possible, to send two hundred and fifty recruits from New York harbor, to reinforce Fort Sumpter, together with some extra muskets or rifles, am munition and subsistence? " It is hoped that a sloop-of-war and cutter may be ordered for the same purpose as early as to-morrow. "General S. will wait upon the President at any moment lie may be called for." The South Carolina Commissioners had already been many days in Wash ington, and no movement :of defence (on the part of the United States) was permitted. I will here close my notice of Fort Sumpter by quoting from some of my previous reports. It would have been easy to rein force this fort down to about the 12th of February. In this long delay Fort Moultrie had been rearmed and great ly strengthened in every way by the rebels. Many powerful new land bat teries (beside a formidable raft) had been constructed. Hulks, too have been sunk in the principal channel, so as to render access to Fort Sumpter from the sea impracticable, without first carrying all the lower batteries of the secessionists. The difficulty of reinforcing has thus been increased ten or twelve fold. First, the late President refused to allow any at tempt to be made, because he was holding negotiations with the South Carolina commissioners. Afterwards, Secretary _Holt and my self endeavored, in vain, to obtain a ship-of-war for the purpose, and were filially obliged to employ the passen ger steamer " Star of the West."— That vessel, but for the hesitation of the master, might, as is generally be lieved, delivered at the fort the men and subsistence on board. This at tempt at succor failing, I next verbally submitted to the late Cabinet either that succor be sent by ships-of-war, fighting their way by the batteries, (increasing in strength daily) or that Major Anderson should be left to ame liorate his condition by the muzzles of his guns—that is, enforcing supplies by bombardment and by bringing to merchant vessels, helping himself, (giving orders for payment) or finally be all)wed to evacuate the fort, which in that ease, would be inevitable. But, before any resolution was ta ken, the late Secretary of the navy making difficulties about the want of suitable war vessels, another commis sioner from South Carolina arrived causing further delay. When this had passed away, Secretaries Holt and Toucey, Captain Ward, of the navy, and myself, with the knowledge of the President (Buchanan) settled up on the employment, under the Captain (who was eager for the expedition), of three or four small steamers belong ing to the Coast Survey. At that time (late in January,) I have but little doubt that Captain Ward would have reached Port Sumpter with all his vessels. But he was kept back by something like a truce or armistice, [made here] embracing Charleston and ' Pensacola harbors, agreed upon be tween the late President and certain principal seceders of South parolina, Florida, Louisiana, &c., and this truce lasted to the cad of that administration. That plan and all others, without a squadron of war ships and a consider able army—competent to take and hold the many formidable batteries below Fort Sumpter, and before the e:diaustion of its subsistence—having li,sen pronounced, from the change of circumstances impracticable, by Maj. Anderson, Captain Foster, (Chief En , gineer) and all the other °Moors of the Fort, as well as by Brigadier Gen. Totten, Chief of the corps of Engi. neers ; and, concurring in that opin ion, I did not hesitate to advise, (March 12th) that Major Anderson be instructed to evacuate the fort, so long held by him and his companions, mediately on procuring suitable trans portation to take them to New York. His relative weakness had steadily in creased in the last eighteen days. It was not till January 3d (when the first commissioners from South Carolina withdrew) that the permis sion I had solicited October 31st, was obtained to admonish commanders of the few Southern forts with garrisons, to be on the alert against surprises and sudden assaults. (Major Ander son was not among::: the admonished, being already straitly beleagured.) JANUARY 3d.—To Lieutenant Sim mer, commanding in Pensacola har bor : " The General-in-Chief directs that you take measures to do the utmost in your power to prevent the seizure of either of the forts in Pensacola harbor, by surprises or assault, consulting first with the commander of the navy-yard, who will probably have received in structions to co-operate with you."— [This order was signed by Aide-de- Cqmp Lay.] It "as just before the surrender of the Pens.?cola navy-yard [January 12] that Lice. ten.? nt Slemmer, calling upon Commodore Arinstrong, obtained the aid of some thirty common seamen or laborers, but no nzarines, which, add ed to his forty-six so:diers, rondo up his numbers to seventy-sLZ men, with whom this meritorious officer has since held Fort Pickens, and performed, working night and day, an immense amount of labor in mounting guns, keeping up a strong guard, etc., etc. Early in January I renewed, as has been seen, my solicitations to be al lowed to reinforce Fort Pickens, but a good deal of time was lost in vacilla tions. First, the President "thought that if no movement is made by the United States Fort Mcßae will proba bly not be occupied nor Fort Pickens attacked. In case of movements by the United States, which will doubt less be made known by the wires, there will be corresponding local move ments, and the attempt to reinforce be useless." (Quotation from a note made by Aid -de-Camp Lay, about January 12, of the President's reply to a message from me) Next, it was doubted whether it would be safe to send reinforcements in an unarmed steamer, and the want, as usual, of a suitable naval vessel— the Brooklyn being long held in re serve at Norfolk for some purpose un known to me. Finally, after I had kept a body of three hundred recruits in New York harbor ready for sow time—and they would have been suffi cient to reinforce temporarilly Ft. Pick: ens and occupy Fort Mcßae also—the President, about January 18, permitted that the sloop-of-war Brooklyn should take a single company ninety men, from Fort Monroe, ii,mipton Roads, and reinforce Lieutenant - Slenimor, in Fort Pickens, but without a surpiu, man for the nei , :hboring Fort Mcßae. The Brooklyn, with Capt. Vogdes' company alone left the Chesapcak for Fort Pickens about January 22d, and ; on the 29th, President Buchanan, hNV ing entered into a quasi armistice with certain leading Seceders at Pensacola and elsewhere, caused Secretaries Holt and Toucey to instruct in a joint note, the commander of the war vessels off Pensacola and Lieutenant Simmer, commanding Fort Pickens, to commit no act of hostility, and not to land Captain Vogdes' company unless that fort should be attacked .t [That joint note I never saw until March 25th, but supposed the armis tice was consequent upon the meeting of the Peace Convention at Washing ton, and was understood to terminate with it.] Hearing however, of the-most active preparations for hostilities on the part of the Seceders at Pensacola, by the erection of new batteries and arming Fort Mcßae—that had not a gun moun ted when it was seized—during the Peace Convention and since, I brought the subject to the notice of the new Ad ministration, when this note, dated March 12th, to Captain Vogdes, was agreed upon. viz : " At the first favor able moment you will land with your company, reinforce Fort Pickens and hold the same, till furtherorders." The order, in duplicate, left New York by two naval vessels about the middle of March as the mail and wires could not be trusted, and detached officers could not be substituted, for two had already been arrested and paroled by the au thorities of Pensacola, despatches taken from ono of them, and a third, to es cape like treatment, forced to turn his back when near that city. That those authorities have not ceased to make war upon the United States since the capture by them of the navy yard, Janu-ary 12th. Respectfully submitted, WINFIELD SCOTT. HEADQUARTERS 01' Tar. ARMY, WASIIINOTON, March 30, 1861, "'The plan invented by Gen. Scott to stop Secession was, like all cam paigns devised by him, very able in its details and nearly certain of gen eral success. The Southern States arc full of arsenals and forts commanding their rivers and strategic points. Gen. Scott desired to transfer the army of the United States to these forts as spee dily and as quietly as possible. The Southern States could not eat oft com munications between the Government and the fortresses without a great fleet, which they cannot build for years, or take them by land without one hun dred thousand men, many hundred millions of dollars, several campaigns, and many a bloody seige. Had Scott been able to have got those forts in the condition ho desired them to be, the Southern Confederacy Nyq ti id not now exist."—Part of the eulogy pro non»ced on Secretary Floyd (who de feated Scott's plans) by the Richmond Er ambler, on Floyd's reception at that city. t It was not till January 4th that, by the aid of Secretary Holt [a strong t , ,nd loyal mall I obtained porinifision to send succor to the feeble garrison of Fort Taylor, Key West, and at the same time a company—Major Arri- OhrS, from Boston—to occupy Vt. Jef ferson, Tortugas Island.

With Forts Jefferzen and Taylor the rebels might have purchased ear ly European recognition. llt was known at the Navy De partment that the Brooklyn, with Captain Vogdes on board, would be obliged in open sea to stand off and on Fort Pickens, and in rough weather might sometimes be fifty miles off.— Indeed, if ten miles at sea, the fort might have been attacked and easily carried before the reinforcement could have reached the beach, in open sea, where alone it could DIED, In the Hospital at Harper's Ferry, Va., on the ISth inst., of typhoid fe ver, JonN MORNINGSTAR, of CO. 0, 28th Regt., P.
