Washington, Jan. 8, 18C1
8in: It is with extreme regret 1 havejost
learned that additional troops have been
ordered to Charleston. This subject has
linen irequentty discussed in Cabinet Conn
tils ; and when on Monday night, Dec. 31,
till, the orders for reinforcements to Fort
Sumpter were countermanded, 1 distinctly
understood from yon that no order of the
kind would be made without being previously
sonsidered and decided in Cabinet. It is
true that on Wednesday, Jan. 2, this subject
wag again discussed in Cabinet, but certainly
no conclusion was reached, and the War
1'c parlmeut was not lQBtiBed in ordering rein,
forcemetits without something more than was
then said. I learn, however, this morning.
tor (lie first time, that the steamer Star of
lie H est sailed from New York last Sulnrdny
night with 250 men. Under Lieut. Martlet t,
bound for Fort Sumter. Under these cir
cumstances i fuel myself bound to resign my
commission, as one of yuur constitutional
hiUisnrs, into your bands.
With high respect, your obedient servant.

dent of the United States.

Washington, Jun. 9, 1801.
Sir: I have received and accepted your
resignation, on yesterday, of the office or
Secretary of the Interior.
tii Monday i-veiling, 3lst December, 1SG0,
1 buspended the orders which had been issued
by the Wnr and Navy Departments, to send
the Jlronklyn with reinforcements to Port
Suiiit.T. 1 stated to you aiy reusoti lor this
suspension, which you know, from its nature,
would be cpei-dily ruiuuved. lu consequence
of your request, however, 1 promised Unit
these orders should not be renewed "without
being previously considered and decided jti
Cabinet," 'ibis promise was fuithfully obser
ved on my port. In order to curry it iuto
flVc t , 1 called a speciul Cabinet meeting un
Weduesduy, 2 J January. 1 BUI , iu which the
(iiestiou of sending reiuforceiuents to Fort
Sumter was amply discussed both by yourself
and olbeis. The decided majority of opinion
was aguinst you.- At this moment the. an
swer of the South Carolina "CouimissionerH"
to my communication to them of .list Decent
In r was received and read. It produc t)
much indignation among the members of the
Cabinet. After a further Conversation 1

Judge Black said, at tbe moment of my drci
non, that ulur this letter the t.uutnft Mould lie
unanimous, and 1 beard do disseutiog voice,
ludeed, the spirit and lone of the Liter left
oo doubt on my mind tbal Fort Sumter would
be immediately attacked, and hence the neces
sity uf sumlmj; reinforcements there without I
delay. I
While t you admit "that on Wednesday,
J in. 2, this subject was ugain discussed lu !
t ah.net,' you say, "out certainty no conclu.
ftion was reiicbed, and the War 1'epartm
eutj
was not justified iu sending reinforcements
without something more thun was then said."
You ere certainly mistaken in alleging that
'uo conclusion was reached." lo this your
recollection was entirely different from that
nf your four oldest colleagues iu the Cabinet.
Indeed, my language was bo unuustskable
that the Secretaries of War and the Navy
proceeded to act upon it without any further
intercourse with myself than what you heard,
or might have beard me say. You bad been
so emphatic in opposing" these reinforcements
that I thought yon would resign in couse
tpienco of my decision. 1 deeply regret that
you have heen disappointed in point of f.ct,
idioiigh 1 liruily beliee honestly mistaken.
Still it is certain that you have pot the less
been mistaken.
Yours, very respectfully,

treasure in case of bloodshed at Charleston. ,
A schooner has been already chartered at '
New Orleans to tuke these pirates clundes

then seize the vessel under tbe I'ulinelto fl.ig j

to rousull a physician, but she refused, and

PIANO-FORTE MANI'FACTI RB.
.. ,r-Meyer, being one of our "long estab.
lisbed business men, his history need not be
particularly dwelt upon. Ua has been en
gaged in business since the year 1824, ted
commeno.ng on comparatively small scale,
bas risen. His old location was Fonrlb
street near Chesnut j his present, 722 Arc
street, aud 530 540, (new numbers) North
third street.
The pianos of this establishment are char
ncterieed by their volume, sweet tone, and
elastic, durable action. These merits all good
musicians will appreciate.
M r. Meyer, though be has not been as ex
tensively bepuffed as some other discoverers,
is nevertheless the inventor of several most
valuable and generally adopted improvements
uiauns. in tne year 1832 be introduced
the Iron Plate Frame. This is chiefly adapt
ed to warm or damp latitudes, keeeping the
.iinrumeot at concert pitch, and preventing
warpine. He i also the nalentna of the
oversea lop J'mnn Forte. Uy this Inven
tion the position of the top cau be varied, and
Huneu to lue wishes of tbe singer or per for
mer t tie bock only is raised the niueiciao
facing his hearers. In the words of another
aescriber of this invention ; "This instrument
is so arranged that if it is wished to throw
the sound through the room, by raising tbe
top in front, first letting the silver book fall
into the space near the bince. and then rais
ing tbe back, tbe end can be perfectly attain-
1 1,
Mr. Mryer's last, and, perhaps, best im
provement, has been perfected within the
last two months. He baa invented new
scale j or, in other words, a new division ol
the strings, and an improved construction of
tbe souoding board. This arrangement gives
a fuller, sweeter, and more powerful lone
than has heretofore been attained. The
iJaily Xlui has been the Grst journal to
notice this improvement, which we are ussur-
d, ou the testimony ol good musical critics,
is destined to ultimately cause a. secession,
(to use a now popular phrase.) from the "old
paths" of piano forte muuufuctare.
Mr. Meyer has received numerous tangible
as well aB Muttering testimonials to the ex
cellence of his instruments. Among these
we may enumerate eight premiums I ro in the
Fiiiiiklin Institute, aud various premiums
from various Societies nt Boston and else
wlimo ; and lastly and chiefly, a prise medal

COLUMBIA.
Columbia's shores are wild and wide,
Columbia's hills are hi jh ;
And rudely plauted side by aide,
Her furesta meet the eye.
But narrow must those shorts be made,
And low Columbia's bills;
And low her ancient forests laid,
Kie Freedom leaves her fields;
For 'lis the l.und, where, rude and wild,
Mie play'd her gambols when a child.
And deep and wide her streams that flow
impetuous lo the tide;
And thick and green the laurels grow
On everv river's side.
l!ul should a transatlantic boat
I'olule her waters lair,
We'll inert them on the rocky coast,
A gather laurels there:
Fur It ! Columbia's sons are brac,
And fre as Ocean's wildestawave.
The gales that wave her mountain pine,
Are tragiaiil and serene;
And iieer clearer sun did shine,
Than lights her vullies green,
But putrid must those breezes blow,
That suu must set in gore,
Eru footsteps ol a foreign loe
Imprint Columbia's shore I
For O ! her sons are brave and frre,
Their breaMs beat high with librily.
For urming boMcst cuirassier,
We've mine ul sterling worth ;
For sword and buckler, spur and spear,
Kmhowell'd in the earth.
Dul ere Columbia' sons retigit
The boon thtir J'utlmri tro,
The polish tl ure Jr'nu entry luint
Hiull (Utter in the tun :
For bngbl's the blade, and sharp the spear.
Which Freedom's sons to battle bear.
Let Britain boast the deeds she's done;
Display ber trophies bright ;
And count htr laurels bravely won
In well contested tight.
Columbia can a band array,
Will wrest that tbat laurel wreath ;
With truer eye and steadier hand,
Will strike tbe blow ol death ;
For whether on the land or sea,
Columbia's fight is victory.
Let France in blood through Europe wade,
Aud in ber frantic mood,
In ritil ducord.draw the blade.
And spill her children's blood.
Too dear that skill in arms is louylt,
Where kindred life llaodjlows,
Columbia's sous are only tauyhl
'Jo triumph o'er their Juts :
An then to comfort aoatue and save,
Tbe feelings of tbe conquered brave.
Then let Columbia's esgle soar,
And bear ber banner high ;
Thslhumder from her dexter pour.
And lightning from her eye.
And when sha sees, from realms above,
The storm of war is spent ;
Descending, like the welcome dove,
The olive branch present ;
And then will beauty's hand divine
Tbe never fading wreath entwine.
