Presidcul had a right to demand of me the ipimediate commander of the army how it had happend that the incipient rebels had been allowed to seize several vi those forts, and Iroia ttie oaa cuaumuu others were likely to guin possession oi them also. Primarily the blame rested exclusively on me. Hence, to viudicate my sworn allegiance to the Union and professional conduct, the report was sub mitted to President Lincoln at sa early uuy, (in his admiuistratiou). and recently to the world. . , , Toth:it short paper cx-L resident Ia- chanan publishes a reply of double the length in the Utdlhjencer of the 1st instant.

Unable, in my present condi ion, to make an anaivsis of the ex-President's long reply I avai f myself of a substitute furnished by accidental visitor, who has kindly marked the few points which he thinks may require some slight notice at my v 1 1.

Now, although it is true that, witn or nilu.nt the ex President's approbation, the Secretary of War had nearly denuded our whole eastern seaboard of troops in order to augment our forces in dcxas auu Utah, I nevertheless pointed out, at several of the above dates, the six hundred uits (about) which we hau in the har of New York and at Carlisle iiarracks. Pennsylvania, ueaily all organized into temporary companies, and tolerably drilleu and disciplined quite equal to the pur pose in question besides the live compan ies ol regulars near atuanu, making 0t one thousand men. ihese oisposaoie . th troops would have given (say) two hundred men to me r.uu iuiu uu"" Philip below New Orleans; r.u equal number to Fort Morgan, below Mobile; a reinforcement of one hundred men to Fort Pickens, Pensacola Harbor, and a garrison of the like number to the twiu fort McUac; a garrison of one hundred men to Fort JtdrVrson, Tortugas Island, and the same to Fort Pulaski below Savaunah, which, like Forts Jackson, St. Philip, Morgan and Mcllac,had not at that time a soldier leaving about two hundred men for the twin forts, Moultrie aud Sumter, Charles ton Harbor, where there were two weak companies, making less than ninety men.

Few persons are as litile liable to make a misstatement by accident as Mr. Holt, and no one more incapable of f one bv desigu : vet L have not War. and none upon the Ler.crai-ir.-iin.i. AV.v..,.?. On several oceasious, General M'Clelian has telegraphed me that his .,vmy was deficient in certain supplies. All fh.rt telcrams were immediately referred to the heads of bureaus, with orders to ronort. It was ascertained that in every irsiance the requisitions have been imme diately filled, except where tho Quarter ureter General had been obliged to send fr .m Philadelphia certain articles cf tents, clothing, tt-j., not having a full supply here. There has not been, so far as 1 cou.d ascertain, auv neglect or delay, m ar.y. de- partmeut or onreau, in issu.n Supplies asked for by General M'Cleilan, ur'uy the officers of his staff. . K lays have occasionally occurred in forwarding supplies by railroad on account ..f the crowded condi'ion of tho railroad depots, or of a want of a sube.ent mimoer .f cars; but, whenever notified of thi. fact, agents h:ve been sent out to remne the. difficulty under the excellent super intendence of General Uaupt. L think those delays have been less lreqneut and of shorter duration than is usually the case with freight trains. An army of the size of that under General M'Clelian wili frequently be for some days without the supplies it has asked Kr, ou account or a negiect in making timely requisitions for them, aud unavoidable delays in lorwam ing them and distributing them to the different brigades and regiments. : From all the information I can ootain, am of the opinion that the requisitions from that army have been filled more prc.mr.tly, and that the men, as a general rulehare been better snppli 1, than in n-r of our armies operating in the West. The hitter have operated at much ,.r,v,for distances from the sources of sup plies, and have had iar ls facilities for transportation. In fine, I believe toat no en sc-i'-iiiig iiic unuj ti could procure. ' " On the ISth of October Gc:u M'Clelhin stated in regard to General Meigs' report that ha had filled every . requisition for shoes and clothit-g: '-General 31eigs may have ordered' these articles to be forward ed, but they might as well remain in New York or Philadelphia, so far as my army is concerned." 1 immediately called Gen. Meigs' attention to this apparent neglect of his department. On the !," th of October, he reported as the result of h's investigation, that 4,890 pairs' of - boots and shoes had baeu received by the Q lartermastcr of M'Clel lau's army at Harper's Ferry, Frederick and Hagerstov.-n. Twenty thousand pairs were at Harper's Ferry Depot on the 21st, , and that ten thou-. aud more were on thoir i cense as rletail Liquor Dealer?; iu additioii to the lWcne for hating House. . . , A lletail Dealer, who occasionally sella in original packages to consumers, is not thereby subject to take a liceuse as a whedesaie dealer ; nut u ne seu iu unjiiiui packages to thoc who buy to sell again, ho must take a liccnso as a : wholesale dealer. . ' A lit toil Liquor Dealer, having taken out a license as such, may sell cigars or other articles in . amount not exceeding 81,000 per annum, without being required to take out an additional license as retail dealer.. , Any person, holding a license, who change-? his place of business, must tako out a r.e-w license. A license cannot be for less than a" year. Those, therefore; who have been in business since SeptenV bor lid, and quit the business before the expirajion of the year, are liable to pay for a license for a whole year. The owner or lessee of coal lands must have a' dealer's license in order to be au thorized to sell the products. Producers o: coal are nor requires io tuwc a umuu lecturer's license. ,( Owners or lessees of coal lands, who tak3 out the coal solely for their own use, as manufacturers, must pay the tax, as tho coal is used for "consumption." Coal 'dealers whoso sales arc less than 8000 per annum are liable to the duty of cents per ton ; for, not beipg manufac turers, the provisions of Section Seventy three are inapplicable. - Wagoners who purchase coal by tho load, from the dealers to sell to customers, are to be rated as peddlers. Thirty-three and one third bushels of bituminous coal may be regarded as equal to a ton. .. 4 Twenty-two thousand two hundred arid forty constitute a ton cf iron, &c., in all cases where tho contrary is not tpecified wnv, and fifteen thousand more hau been ord.T.d. C'-lonf'i Tngalls, ai l-de-cimp and chief of st.-flf to Ganerai M'Clelian, telegraphed as follows: "The suffering for want of d' thing is e:;g: rated, I think, and cer- t-.:.i.!vmi"ht have been avoided by timely reouisitioMS by the regimental and brigade .
