By conscripting be. tween the ages epeoi fied they will be able to bring into the field an additional force of,three hundred thousand.

SOUTHERN FORTS—A SUMMARY, &C. ' October 30, 1860, I emphatically called the attention of the President to the neceseity of stroeg gerrisons in' all the forts below the priecipal commercial cities ofthe). " forts Southern States, including, by name, the in Penn', cola harbor. October 81, I ettige2ted tiothe, dearetary of . War that a,circulsr should be pent at once to snob, of then, forts as bad gareitious to be on the alert against surprises and sudden assaults. (See my Viewa,' , since printed.) After a long confinement to my bed, in New York, I came to tide Mir( Washington) December 12. Next Olio peteonsily ' urged upon the Secretary of War the-wink' views, viz: strong garrisons in the Southern forts= thole' of Charleston and Pensacola harbors at once; ,thoee on Mobile 'Bay and the Mississippi, below New Orleans, onset. &c., &e..t I again pointed out the organized. coin ,. pat tea and the temente at the principal depots available ' for the purpose. The Secretary did not concur in any of Any views, when I begged him to' procure for mean early interview with the President, that I might make one ef fort mole to save the forte and the Union. By appointment, the *crater) accompanied me to the President, December 16, when the same toplos, Seces [denim, he , were again pretty fella disonssed. There being at the moment [in the opinion of the Preeidenel ne dancer of an early leecestion, beyond South Carolina, the President, in reply to my arguments fer immediately reinforcing Fort Moultrie and seeding a garrison to Fort Sunipter, said : see The time has not thrived fOr doing so; that he should welt the action of the Convention of South Carolina, in the expectation that a commission would oe appiinted and sent to negotiate with him and Congress respecting the Serration of the State and the property of the Milted States held within its limits; and that it Congress (should decide against the Recession, then he would send a rein forcement, and telegraph the commanding officer ( ilajor Anderme) of Fort Moultrie to hold the ferns (Moultrie and Sumpter) against attack " Arid the Secretary, with animation, added : "We have a vessel:of-war (the Brooklyn) held in Yea dinees at Norfolk; and be would then send three hundred men in her from Fort Monroe to Charleston " ' To which I replied. first, that so many men conli not be withdrawn front that garrison, but could betaken from New York. Next, that it would then oe too late, as 'the South 'Carolina commissioners would have the lame 'in their bands, by first using and then cutting the wires; Buttes there was not a soldier in Fort dnmpter,'any hand ful of armed Seceesimdete might seize and occupy it, dm Here the remark may be permitted, that it the Secre tary's three hundred - men had then, or wine time later, been rent toForts Moultrie and Sampler, both would now, have been in the possession of the United States, and ant a battery below them could have beenereoted by the tie oessionistst consequently the access to those forte from the sea would now (the end of March) be unobstructed and free* ' The same day, December 15, I wrote, the 'following note : . Lieut *Gen. Scott begs the Pretident to pardon 'him for implying, in this note, what he omitted to say this morning at the interview with which he was honored by the President. . . . • . Long prior to the force bili.( March 2. 1833,) to the deans of hie proclamation, and in partprior to the • passage of the ordinance of nullification, President Jacks. son, under the act of March 8, 1807, e authorizing the employment of the land and naval forces,' caused rein• lot:cements to be aent to Fort Moultrie. and a sloop of waro, (the Natchez,) with two revenue cutters, to be 'sent to Charleston harbor, in order, 1. to ergvent the seizure of that fort by the nullifiers, and 2. to effforce the execution of the revenue laws. General Scott himself arrived at Charleston , the day after the passage of the ordinance of nullification and many of the additional companies were then en route for the same destination. et Presioent Jackeen tamitiarly said at the time t that, by the assemblage of thous forces, for lawful purposes, he was not making war upon South Carolina ; bat that if South Carolina attacked them itwouldhe 'Smith Caro lina that made war upon the United States. it General 8.,wh0 received his first instructions' (oral) from the Presient, in the temporary absence 'of the Secretary of War (General Class), remembers those ex pressions well. er Saturday Night, December 15, 1880." Dieu:map 28 —Again, after Maj ir Anderson had gal. lentil and allisely thrown his handful of men from Fort Moultrie into Fort Sumpter—learning that, on demand of Seuth.Carollne, there was great danger he might-be . Contend UT the Secretary back 'to the Isle tenable work, or out of the harbor—l wrote the note: • "Lieutenant General heett (who has had 'a bed night, and can scarcely hold up his head this morning), begs to express the hope to the eecreters , of. War: 1. That orders ' may not be given for the evacuation of Fort tkimpter. • 2. That one hundred and fifty recruits may hist antly.be sent from Governor's Island to reinforce that garrison, with ample supplies of ammunition and subsistence, in cluding fresh vegetable., as potatoes , onions, turn ips; and, 3, That one or two armed vessels be sent to support the said fort. " Maul Gen. 8. avails himself of this opportunity also to express the hope that the recommendations heretofore made by him to the Secretary of War respecting Forts Jackson, St. Philip, Morgan, and Pulaski, and particu larly in respect to Forts Pickens and td.oltse and the Pensacola Navy Yard; in connection with the last two named works, may be reconsidered by the Secretary. o Lieut. Gen. S. will further ask the attention of the Secretary to Forte Jefferson and Taylor, which are wholly 'national, being of far g' eater value even to the most dis tant points of the Atlantic coast and the people on the up• per waters of the Missouri, Mississippi, and Ohio rivers than to the State of Florida. There is only a feeble com pany at Bey West for the defence of Fort Taylor, and not a soldier in Fort Jefferson to rester .a handful of fili• busters or a. row boat of pirates; and the Gall, soon after the' beginning of secession or revolationary trem bles in the edify-eat States, will swarm with such nui tatices."t --- DECEMBER 80.-. I addressed the President again as fol lows : , "Lieut. Gen. Scott begs the 'President of the United States to pardon the irregularity of this communication. It is Sunday, the weather is bad, and Gen. S. is not well enough to'go to church. "Bat matters of the highest national importance seem• to forbid aomoment's delay, ard. If misled by , zeal, he hopes for the President's forgiveness. ' it Will the ,President permit General S , without re ference to the War Department, 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, ammunition, and sub ' slitende ? . It is hoped that a sloop-of•war and cuttermay be or derer for the same purpose as early' as to Metope; ' ' General B. will wait upon.. the President at any mo • nient he may be called for." „ The South Carolina commissioners bad already been many days in Washington, and no movement of defence (on.the pert 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 reinforce this fort down to about the 12th of February. In this long delay Fort Moultrie bad been rearmed and-greatly strengthened in every way by the rebels. Many powerful new land batteries (beside a formidable raft). have been con structed. Bulks, too, have -been sunk In the priaolpel channel, so as to render access to Fort Sumpter from the sea ithpracticable 'without 'first carrying all the lower batteries of the iecessionists. The :die:lenity; of rein forang bee thus been increased' ten'or twelve fold. First, the late President refused to allow any attempt to 100 made, becanso.he was .holding negotiations with the offeuth Carolina commissioners. Afterwards Secretary and myself endeavored, in vain, to obtain a shiteef- war for the purpose, and were - finally. obliged to employ' the passenger steamer " Star of the West." That veriest, but for the hesitation of the master, might, as is generally, believed, have delivered at the fort the men aed subsietence on board. 'This attempt 'at succor failing. I next, verbally, 'submitted to :the late Cabinet either that savior be sent. by, shire of-war, fighting their 'waif by the bete des, (Increasing In strength daily,) or that Major Anderson shotild be left to ameliorate his condition by the muzzles of his guile— . that Is, enforcing supplies by bombardment and by bring mg to merchant velment, helping himself, (giving orders for pito ment,) or, Peony, be allowed •to evacuate the fort, whieb, in that case, would be inevitable. But, before ally resolution was taken, the late Seers tary of the Navy making difficult - he about the want of suitable war vessels, another commissioner from South Carolina ariived,•causing further delay. When this had passed away, Secretaries Holt and Toncey, Captain Ward, of the navy, and myself, with the knowledge of the President (Buchanan), settled upon the employment. ittder tho Captain, (who was eager for the expedition,) of three or four email . Steamers belonging to the; Coast Survey. At al at UM e, ( late in January ,) I have but little doubt Captain Ward would have reached fort Sumpter, with all his vessels. But he was kept back by something like a truce or- armistice, [made hem] , embriaing Charleston and Pensacola harbors, agreed upon between the late President and certain principal Seceders of Souta Carolina,Florida, Louisiana, &c., and this truce listed to the en of that Administration. That plan and all others, without a squadron of war ships and a considerable army—competent to take and bold the many formidable batteries below Fort Sumpter, and before the exhaustion of its subsistence—having been pronounced, from the change of dreamed MUHL Imprecti cable, by Major Anderson. Captain Foster, (Chiet neer,)end all the other officers of the fort, as well es by Brigadier 'General Totten, Chief of ' the' Corps lof. aerie. neers; and, concurring in thatopinion, I did not hesitate to advise (March 12th) that Major Anderson be iOstitlOt • ed to evacuate the fort so long gallantly held by him and his companions, immediately on procuring imitable trans reflation to take them to Now York. His relative weak flees bad steadily increased In the last eighteen days It was not till J.nuary 8i (when the first commis sioners from South Carolina withdrew) that the ,peratis- Mtn I had solicited October 81st was - obtained to ad monish commanders of the few Southern forte with gar rison! to be on the alert against surprises and sudden assaults. _ (Major Anderson was not among the ad nienished. being already straitly bele:igen red.) • JAlttli.

Goo" Bancroft, the eminent historian, a nomination for Congress, he de clined it, writing the following letter to the. committee. hlr. Banoroft has always been Identified with the Dems. cretin party, but in times like these he recognizes the grand principle of no party but that of the country. GENTLEtiItS: I am touched with grattthde for the good will which has led your convention of delegate from the I , People's Union Associations," by ad unex pected and Frontal:m(las vote, to nominate me unani mously as their candidate for Represetitative of the Eighth Coegreestional district. This act I receive as coming from men who are awake to the perils that over •heng our beloved country, and who pledge themselves, eye citizen's, to be governed by loyalty to the people. The next Congress will have before it the most import ant subjects that ever engaged the attention of a repre settatlye body since the Convention that framed oar Constitution ; and yet we seem to await the day of elec tion with , a fearful levity or want of consideration, as though the old methods of prepseation which may prove sufficient in the season of unelonded prosperity, would serve for this hour, when oar system; itself is threatened with overthrow. It is heart breaking, after the lavish outpouring of the blood of thdes dearest to us, to con template the chances of failure from divisions sad waver fug in the North. Yet, after we have sent out from this pity alone troops enough to constitute a formidable army, we are advised to manifest at the polls our commit to a disruption of the country. We bend men from every household to the war; they show in the battle-field the most heroic.conrage, and yet we are asked to vote that the..war bee no object, that we fight only to retreat with shame if we are beaten, and to submit with shame if we aro victorious.. .
