I was assured by distinguished and upright gentlemen from South Carolina that no attack on Major Anderson was intended, but that, on the contrary, it was the desire of the State authorities, as much as it was my own, to avoid the fatal consequences which must La evitably follow a military collision. And here I deem it proper to submit for your informa tion copies of a communication dated the 28th of December, 2SGO, addressed to me by R. W. Barnwell, J. 11. Adams, and James L Orr, Commissioners from South Carolina, with accompanying documents, and copies of my answers thereto, dated the 31st of Decern her. In further explanation of Major Anderson's removal from Fort Moultrie to F..rt Sumter, it is proper to state that after my answer to the South Carolina Commissioners, the War Department received a letter from that gal rant officer, dated oo the 27th of December, 1800, (the day after this movement), iroin which the following is an extract: " I will add, as my opinion, that many things convinced me that the authorities of the State designed to proceed to a hostile act. [Evidently referring to the orders dated De cember 11th, of the late Secretary of War.] Coder this impression 1 could not hesitate that it was my solemn duty to move my com mand from a fort which we could not proba b!y have held longer than forty-eight or sixty hours, to this one, where my power of resis tance is increased in a very great degree." It will be recollected that the concluding part of these orders were in the following terms: —"The smallness of your force will not permit you, perhaps, to occupy more than one of the three forts; but an attack on, or an attempt to take possession cf either of; them, will be regarded as an act of hostility, and you may then put 3 our command into either of them which you may deem most proper to increase its power of resistance. — You are also authorised to take similar defen sive steps whenever you have tangible evidence of a design to proceed to a hostile act." It is said that serious apprehensi ins are to | some extent entertained that the peace of this ; District may he disturbed before March next. In any event it will be my duty to prevent it, j and this duty shall be performed. In conclusion, it may be permitted to me to remark, that 1 have often warned my coun trymen of the dangers which now surround us. This may be the last time I shall refer ta the subject officially. I feel that my duty lias been faithfully, though imperfectly per formed, and whatever the result may he, I shall carry to my grave the consciousness that 1 at least meant well for my country.

IIALF., who J 1 said that he believed the members of his ' 1 committee representing the border slave ' States would agree to his proposition; that j. 1 all the territory of the United States north ' of thirty-six degrees thirty minutes should 1 he free, and all south of that line to re- • main as it is, with liberty to the people to , organize into States whenever they please, I ! with or without slavery. He was of opin- j 1 ion that it might be better for the North j ; to take this proposition than to precipitate ! the country into war. Mr. Hale's view is undoubtedly the cor- I rect oue, and meets with general approba- ! tion here, as well as through most, if not all, parts of the district. Should the ex- j trcnie republicans reject this proposition, which is in reality but a revival of Mr. Clay's great measure with an extension, we trust Mr. Hale will offer his proposition in Congress and press it to a vote. Mifflin county will without question sustain him in any proposition that will satisfy the con servative men of the border slave States. „ Bga.Mr. Buchanan has withdrawn from his official organ, The Constitution, all the Executive advertisements, and has given them to the Intelligencer, which will hereafter ex press the views of the Administration. The late attack upon the President and Mr. Sec retary Holt, which appeared in the Constitu tion, and the ultra disunion sentiments advo cated by its alien Brush editor, have .caused this change. In the venerable old Intelligen cer the President will have what he never had ),pff> r r> o respectable organ. Proceedings of Congress Senator Seward delivered his speech in the Senate on Saturday on the state of the Union. The galleries were crowded to overflowing, and the distinguished gentle man was listened to with the utmost inter est and attention by Senators and specta ' tors, lie commenced by avowing his ad herance t<> the 1 nion in its integrity; with his party, his country, his State, or with out either, as they may determine; in every event, whether of peace or war; with every consequence, whether of honor or dishon or, life or death. Alter rehearsing what courses will wt save the Union, he de sires a truce, at least, during the debate on the Union. It cannot be saved by proving secession illegal or unconstitutional; nor can anything be gained by discussing the right of the Federal Government to coerce States. If disunion is to go 011, this ques tion will give place to the more practical one, whether the many seceding States shall coerce the remaining members to ac ! quiesce in a dissolution. lie argues against the folly of separation, its effect up -011 the standing of the United States among the nations of the world, the diffi culties a new Southern Confederacy would ■ encounter in forming treaties, and liable at any time to become the prey of stronger powers. In summing up his arguments, he states: Firstly —That while prudence and justice would combine in peisuiding you to modify the acts of Congress so as not to compel pri vate persons to assist in the execution of the Fugitive Slave aw, and to prevent freemen from being, by abuse of the law, carried in to slavery, I agree that all State laws contra vening the Constitution or any law of Con gress, ought to be repealed. Secondly —Domestic slavery existing in an}' State is wisely left by the Constitution exelu sively to the care, management and disposi tion of that State. 1 would not alter the Con stitution in that respect, if in my power. I am willing to vote fur an amendment of the Constitution declaring that it shall not, by any future amendment, be so altered as to confer on Congress a power to abolish or in terfere with slavery in any State. Thirdly —While I think Congress has ex elusive authority to legislate for the Territor ies. and while I certainly shall never directly or indirectly give my vote toestablish, or sane tion slavery in the territories, yet the ques tion with regard to what constitutional laws shall be passed in regard to the Territories, is to be determined on practical ground. If Kansas were admitted under the Wyandotte Constitution, I could vote to organize the or ganization and admission of the remaining States, if such reservation could be constitu tior.ally made ; but if the measure were prac ticable, I should prefer a different course, namely : that when the eccentric movements of secession and disunion shali have ended, and the angry excitements of the hour sub sided then, say, one, two or three years hence, I would cheerfully advise a convention of the people to decide whether any and what amendments of the organic national law shall be made. Fourth —l am ready now, as heretofore, to vote for laws to prevent mutual invasions of States. Fifth —I remain constant in favor of two Pacific Railways—one to connect the ports around the mouths of the Mississippi, and the other towns on the Missouri and the Lakes with the harbors on our western coast. He concluded with the expression of an unshaken faith in the Constitution and the Union. He feels sure that the hour has not come for this nation to fall. Its people are not perverse or wicked enough to deserve so dreadful and se vere a punishment as dissolution. This Un ion has not yet accomplished what good for mankind was manifestly designed by Him who appoints the seasons, and prescribes the duties of States and empires. No, sir; if east down to day by faetion, it would rise again and re appear in all its majestic pro portions to morrow. Woe! woe! to the man that meanly lifts bis hand against it. It shall continue to endure, and men in after times shall declare that this generation which sav ed the Union from such sudden and unluoked for damages surpassed in magnanimity even that one which laid its foundations in the eternal principles of liberty, justice and hu manity. The majority of the committee of thtr ty-three in their report made on Monday, propose an amendment to the Constitu tion providing that no amendment thereto interfering with slavery shall originate in any other State than a slavcholding State, and to be valid shall be ratified by every State in the Union. They also submit an enabling bill for the admission of New Mexico as a State on an equal footing with the original States, and a fugitive slave bill which gives the right of trial by jury to the slave claiming liber ty in the State whenee be escaped, and re leases any citizen from assisting the Uni ted States Marshalls in the capture or de tection of the fugitive except when is employed or apprehended for the release of the fugitive. The committee submitted a joint rejolu- i tion deprecating personal liberty bills, (but ' not by that name), and requesting the j Northern States to cause their statutes to j be revised, in order that all hindrances i to the just execution of the laws may be removed, i lie President is requested to eommunicate this resolution to the several States. They also report a series of resolutions recognizing no authority on the part of the people of one State to interfere with the institutions of another, and discountenan cing all mobs and hindrances to the ren dition of the fugitive slavea They recog nize no such conflicting elements iu its composition, or sufficient cause from any i source for a dissolution of the Government. They were not gont here to destroy, but to sustain and harmonize the institutions of the country, and s* that equal justice is done to all parts of the same, and finally to perpetuate its existence on terms ot equality and justice to all the States. The proposition introduced in the Sen ate bv Mr. Biglcr proposes to submi to the people, in addition to the Crittenden compromise amendments to the Constitu tion, amendments to interdict forever the African slave trade, and to exceed the Presidential term to six years, making the President ineligible to re-election. Mr. McKeon's bill, introduced in the House 0:1 Monday, proposes to repeal so much of the act of I TOO as constitutes Georgetown, Charleston, and Beaufort ports of entry. In the United States Senate on Monday Mr. Brown gave notice that the Senators from Alabama, Florida and Mississippi would no longer take an active part in the deliberations of the body. Their States hud taken measures to withdraw from the Union, but of which the Senators were not so officially informed as to justify their fi nal withdrawal from the Senate. The Kansas bill was then taken up, and Mr. Polk, of Missouri, spoke in favor of the right of secession and against coercion. Mr. Crittenden called up the resolutions submitting his compromise to the vote of the people, and pressed a vote on them. After some discussion the resolutions were made the special order for Tuesday, with the understanding that they would then be considered to the exclusion of all other business until finally d sposed of. In the House during the morning hour, Mr. Etheridge made another unsuccessful attempt to introduce the border State reso lutions. In committee of the whole the Army bill was taken up and a general de bate commenced on the perilous state of the country. Mr. McClernand, of Illi nois, and Mr. Cox, of <>hio, both demo crats, made strong speeches against the right of secession and in favor of the en forcement ot the laws. They contended that the collection of the revenues and the protection of the public property was not coercion, and supported the course of the President. Mr. Cox was especially em phatic. He warned South Carolina not to touch a hair on the head of Major Ander son, and referring to the espionage alleged to have been established over vessels com- . ing down the Mississippi, said that the northwest would never permit such sur veillance. Both gentlemen expressed a willingness to vote cither for the Critten- j den or the border State compromise, and j Mr. Cox expressed the opinion that there were symptoms of concession on the part of the Republicans. The First Blood—An Ominous Sipn. Notwithstanding an entire battery ot the South Carolina would-he-assassins was dis charged at the Steamer Star of the est with 250 U. S. troops on board, not a man was injured ! On the previous day, when the tories, like the cut-throat Toombs, were uo doubt wishing to hear that the Star of the West had been sunk with all on board, Charleston city was startled by the intelli gence that one of tho members of the Washington Light Infantry, on duty in Castle Pinkney, had been shot by the sen tinel. The unfortunate fellow was the son of a most respectable gentleman in that city, and possessed a large body of person al friends. Ilis name was 11. W. Holmes. " Every one," says the correspondent of the Baltimore American, "expressed deep regret and concern that he had come to so untimely au end at the hands of a com rade." Thus has been the first blood shed in the unnatural war which au infamous band of scoundrels are endeavoring to fasten on ; the people —not by those whom they call an enemy, but by the hands of a comrade! If regret and concern were expressed at the fate of one man, what will it be should events induce Major Anderson to use the powerful missiles of death and carnage in his hands against the infatuated populace who are forsaking peace for the horrors of war ? r i,Gen. Dix of New York has been ap- j F ; oted Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Holt will probably be Secretary of War, and Judge GreeD >od of Arkansas Secretary of the In terioT Disunion clerks and other traitors to j the government are daily discharged, and for the first time in Mr. Buchanan's term he is receiving credit from all classes for discharg es duty. Going wltere he ought to Go. —James Bed path (late of the Tribune) has chartered the British brig Janet Kidston, to proceed to Jer sey City and thence to Port-au-Prince. She takes on board 13 colored passengers, also I John Brown, son ol old Ossawattamie. The above paragraph is copied into several Southereu papers, but it would not surprise UR if Redpath and some of his associates were foe.nd ere long making a dash upon the coast . of South Carolina. These men are capable ; of almost any act of daring, and they will be r ! found as difficult to catch as Montgomery, on the frontiers of Kansas and Missourj. There is more method in their madness than in that > of old John Brown. — Boston Transcript. Breckinridge s Letter. Vice President Breckinridge has written i a letter on the state of the country in i which he comes to some ext con l elusions. The Baltimore American, in re j viewing it says £ 'that to put the question in all its breadth—that if the North consents I to repeal its obnoxious and unconstitution | al personal liberty laws; if it gives itssup ; port to amendments of the Constitution 1 prohibiting Congress from interfering with slavery in Uw Spates it exist* { from inhibiting the inter-Statc slave trade, or from excluding it from the District of Co lumbia, or the navv yards, forts and such places under the jurisdiction of the United States; and further agrees to the settle ment of the Territorial question by a di vision of the . risthuj Territories, recogni sing slavery to the South of a proposed line and excluding it North of said line, that still—according to Mr. Breckinridge's proposition—there is an irreconcilable dif ference, upon which the Union must be dissolved because the compromise docs not settle the condition of territory not a part of our country and which may never be come so. We cannot believe that the peo- : pie of the Border Slave States are willing to wreck the Union upon this hypothetical difficulty, and if it is ever so wrecked there j wjll be no question as tu where tKprespon- j sibility for the act will belong. It is not, j we feel assured, the wish of Maryland that a point so purely belonging to the future should be erected as the insurmountable ; difficulty in the way of a return to peace and Union —nor do we believe that Ken tucky, Tennessee, or even Virginia will consent to lose all the substantial advanta ges of a possible settlement in grasping af ter terms of difficult attainment and of doubtful good." We think after this John C. Breckiu- ridge may be safely set down as a disunion ist, and we should not be surprised to learn in the future —should Kentucky be drag ged into a Southern Confederacy—that he was selected for its President last sum- mcr. Work of Madness. The Southern people continue to act with an insanity unparalleled in the history of the world in destroying the lair fabric of our government, Governors ol States assume I'nited States authority as if there was no such thing as treason, and volun teer companies seize public property with as much impunity as did the Buccaneers of the 17th century. To take ungarrison- 1 ed forts, arsenals, and navy yards —to stop unarmed passenger and freight boats on the Mississippi —to fit out piratical privateers j as is suggested by the hell-hounds who . control the Charleston Mercury, at whose footstool the whole South is apparently j kneeling, with an abjectness worthy of j their slaves —arc at present no difficult tasks, but to all this there will soon suc ceed a different of affairs. Either the stern realities of war will come, when the mighty West will go forth to cut her way to the Gulf of Mexico, or if a peace ful separation should take place, the work of reorganizing a government, and provid ed means for carrying it on, will be a real ity as stern as war. Such things are not an every day work, and when once pres ented to southern taxpayers through col lectors backed by bayonets, will perhaps awaken them to the solemn truth that the Cnion was to them a blessing of iuestimable value. As an instance of what folly has i accomplished, South Carolina since her se- j cession, has incurred a debt of 1,400,000, and not a dollar in the treasury I In our judgment we believe the time has couie when the Eastern, Middle and Western States ought to consult as to the proper course to be pursued. The govern ment at Washington it is true has awaken ed to a sense of its duty, but we fear too late, and is apparently powerless. A con vocation of all the Governors of the North ern and Western States might be useful in coming to some mutual understanding, and we would therefore suggest to Governor i Curtiu to take the initiative step in such a movement. Any reasonable, but firm and decided stand on the pjart of these States would meet the cordial approval of the people, and be sustained in any emergency that might occur. following is one of a series of res olutions which passed the Ohio Senate and House of Representatives on Saturday : Resolved, That we hail with joy the recent firm, dignified, and patriotic special message of the President of the United States, and that the entire power and resources of Ohio are hereby pledged, whenever necessary and demanded, for the maintenance, under the strict subordination to the civil authority, of the Constitution and laws of the General Gov ernment, by whosoever administered. IS™A frightful death by burning occurred last week at Columbus, Ohio. Some courte zans had been drinking to excess, when the clothes of one of them caught fire and were completely burned off her back, nothing re maining upon her but a leathern belt. Her death, says an eye-witness, was awful. Those who witnessed it, and heard her mingled songs, curses and prayers, will never forget it. LATEST N?W9, The National Intelligencer has exposed a plot ol the Southern Senators and Rep resentatives to remain in Congress so as to prevent all legislation in favor of strength ening southern forts—in tact to do every thing in their power to destroy the govern ment. In proof of this, during a debate on an appropriation bill in the House on Friday last, Mr. Hindmar., of Arkansas, said that he was anxious to assist the Re publicans in bankrupting, as soon as possi ble, a Government whose purse and sword are soon to be used for the subjugation of their brethren in the South The speech of Senator Hunter, on Fri day, was .an exposition of the real views of ! the secessionists, who insist upon the dual scheme of government which was origi nally proposed by Mr. Calhoun. No mat ter what may be the relative population of the free and of the slave States, each must have a President—each must have as many Senators and a-* many Representatives as the other—in the majority must not rule. At a private dinner party at Washing ton last week, words passed between Sena tor Toombs and Lieutenant t ieneral Scott. According to the relation- of the scene, in Congressional circles, the conversation turned on the sending of troops to Charles ton, when Mr. Toombs expressed a hope that the people there would sink the Star of the West. (leneral Scott, with much earuv-Ruess, asked if it \yas possible that he (Toombs), as an American, desired such an event. Mr. Toombs replied affirmatively, and that (hose who sent the vessel there should be sunk with her. Nothing is known as yet about the action of the Cabinet in regard to Lieut. Talbott's mission. General Scott, kuowiug that the Departments are full uf traitors, who inform the Seceders of every move ment of the Government, has jnade such arrangements that the military measures against South Carolina, will feipain a per fect secret. The American flag has been insulted; even vessels coming from Europe, and not knowing anything about the new " Republic of South Carolina, ' h,:;vc been prevented from entering the harbor be cause the stars and stripes floated at their mast-heads. 'l'hf- Government is bound to protect our flag. Commodore Lawrence Kearney, who stands second on the active service list of the I nited States navy, and whose resignation was an nounced a few days ago, in a private letter since written, says: "Since the course pursued by the Charles tonians I have changed my views in regard to matters in that quarter and elsew here, and I have asked to be allowed to withdraw my letter of resignation in the navv."_ Private letters from Vera Cruz say that tlie political news from the United States and the probable secession of the Southern States had caused considerable excitement —one let ter says consternation —in the squadron at Vera Cruz. The same report is made through other sources. It turns out that the contingent of the U. S. j arms for the year 18G1 has been distributed to the Southern States in advance, the most i shameful evidence of the treason of Floyd yet produced. The United States sloop of war Macedoni an, from Portsmouth, N. 11., passed the High land Light on Monday morning, bound Isuuth, with sealed orders. The Federal troops have abandoned all the ; United States forts in Pensacola harbor ex cept Fort Pickens, where they have concen trated to make a stand against the State troops. The military expeditions which left New j Orleans on the 11th and the day previous, j have seized Forts Jackson and St. Philips, on the Mississippi river, and Fort Pike, at the entrance of Lake PontchartraiD. No i resistance was offered to the New Orleans troops. The news from South Carolina is brief and unexciting. A report, coming byway of New York, asserts that Mr. Hayne, the At torney General of South Carolina, brings to Washington a proposition to surrender all the forts to the United States on condition that Major Anderson is remanded to Fort Moultrie. The dispatches direct from Char leston state t&at the Legislature has passed a resolution declaring that the attempted rein forcement of Fort Sumter was an act of war, and approving of the attack on the Star of the West. The Governor proposes the forma j tion of a Navy, to be composed of three light I draft steam propellers. He also urges the fortification of the mouths of all rivers and inlets on the coast of South Carolina. Our latest intelligence from Charleston re ports that Gov. Pickens has sent an aid to Fort Sumter with dispatches for Major An derson, supposed to be in relation to the ne gotiations going op at Washington. The ci ty was quiet and the excitement had greatly subsided. Lieutenant Hall, from Fort Sumter, and Col. Ilayne on the part of South Carolina, arrived at Washington on Monday evening. Their mission is believed to have reference to such an understanding as may avoid hostili ties. It is understood that the Government will not at present renew the attempt to rein force Fort Sumter. fgyJudge Snialley of New York has de fined treason, and instructed the Grand Jury to indict all persons who are furnishing arms 1 to Southern traitors The Star of the West returned to New York on Friday night with the troops dentin, ed for the relief of Fort Sumter. The re port from Charleston waa current in relation to two of the balls fired at her taking effect One struck l>er on tUo bow, and the seeond ; on the starboard quarter, between the &swke stack and the engine beam. No person was hurt. She struck on the bar twice in out. At night, steamers were seen coniin out of the harbor, supposed to be in pursuit The same night she spoke the ship Emily St Pierre, from Liverpool to Charleston, and re fused admittance in consequence of the American flog being displayed. When lea\. ing Charleston Harbor, the Star of the West received several p*rtmg shots fropt the bat tery on Morris Island, and they all fell short The general feeling on board now is to return to Charleston, with proper means of defence and effect a landing at all hazards. WASHINGTON, J an 15. It is understood that the Agents of South Carolina now here, demanded the uncotidi tional surrender of Fort Sumter, with a view to avoid the shedding of blood.
