Col. Scott to countermand her departure;
but't did not reach its destination until af
ter she had gone fo sea. Tlio reason for
this Countermand shall be stited in the lan
guage ofSecretarj Holt, to be found in a let
teh addressed by him to Mr. Thompson, the
1 ate Secretary of the Interior, on the sih
March) 1861, and published in the National
Intelligencer. Mr. Holt says :
"The countermand spoken of (bv Mr.
Thompson) was not more cordially sanction
ed by the President than it was by Gen,
Seott and my Self ; not because of any dissent
from the order on the part ot the President,
but because of a letter received that day from
Major Anderson, stating, in effect, that he re
garded himself secure in his position ; and yet
more from intelligence which late on Satur
day evening (sth January 1861) reached
the Department, that a heavy battery had
been erected among the hills, at the entrance
to Charleston harbor, which would probably
destroy any unarmed vessel (and such was
the star of the West) which might attempt
to make its way to Fort Sumpter. This im
portant information satisfied the Govern
ment that there was no present necessity for
•ending reinforcements, and that when sent
they should go, not in a vessel of commerce
but of war. Hence the countermand was
dispatched-by telegraph to New York; but
the vessel had -sailed a short time before it
reached the officer (Colonel Scott) to whom
it was addressed."
A statement of these facts, established by
dates, proves conclusively that ttie President
was not only wiliiug but anxious in die brief
est period to reinforce Fort Sumpter.
On the 4th of January, the day before the
departure of the Star of the West from New
York' as Gen. Scott in his statements admits,
succor was sent to Fort Taylor, Key West,
and to FoJt Jefferson, Toriutas Islands,
which reached these p>ints in time for their
security. He nevertheless speculates on *,|, e
cousequences which might have f0110w,,.,] |, a ,j
the reinforcements not reached th>_, r destina
tion in due time, and expr<; jSO3 t | lt . - jX rra r
dinary opinion thaf ? with the possesion of
these forts, '• ' t ne rebels might have purchased
au ear'.y recognition."
I shall next advert to the statement that
the expedition under Captain Ward, " of tince
or four small steamers belonging to the Coast
Survey, was kspt back by something like a
truce or armistice, [made here.] embrace
Charleston and Pensacofa harbors, agreed up
on between the late President and certain
principal seceders of Suu'h Carolina, Florida,
Louisiana &c. And this truce lasted to the
end of the administration.*' Tilings alto
gether distinct in their nature are often so
blended In this statement thai it is difficult
to separate them. Such is eminently the ca-e
in connecting the facts relative, to Charleston
with Pensacofa.
Having already treated of the c large of
having kept kack reinforcements fr in P ns
cola, I shall now say something of the cli ng. -
of having also kevt them back Imm Cnarie
ton. Neither a truce, nor qoa-s truce, nm
any thing like it. was ever concluded betnve.
the President and any human au iuuity con
cerning Charleston. On the contrary, tin
South Carolina Commissi .tiers, tirst and all
the time, were informed that the President
could never surrender Fort Sumpter, n .r <l
prive himself of the most entire libei 13 1.
send reinforcements t<> it whenever it was i.e
lieved to be in danger, <r requested oy M .j 1
Anderson. It is strange that Gen. Scot
was aot apprised of this well k■> vm, f
It was then, with some astonishment, that I
learned from the statement of the General
that ho had, 011 the 12ih March, 1861. a.lvi
ed that Major Anderson should he iu-truct.'
to evacuate the fort as soon a* -no ■ •.i. tri">
portation could be procured to earr, him
self and his command to New York. A unit
tary necessity for a capitulation may have
existed in case there should he an attack up
on the fort, or a demand fur its surrender;
but surely none such cot,ld have existed fui
its voluntary surrender and abandonment.
Probably that to which the General means
to refer was not the quasi' but the actual
truce of arms concluded at Chirleston on the
11th January, 1861 between Governor Pick
ens and Major Anderson, without the knowl
edge of the Presidedt. It was mi toe 9th 01.
January that the Star of the West, under'he
American flag, was fired upon in the l.arbo.
ot Chaaleston by order of Govenor Dickons.
Immediately alter this outrage Maj .r Ander
son sent a fiag to the Governor staling ti at
he presumed the act had been unauthorized,
and for that reason lie had not . v . ncl fir.
from Fort Sumpter on the adjacent batteruc- ;
but demanding its disavowal, ami ifui- w t\
not Bent ir? a reasonable time, tie w ml I r 11 1
•ider it war, and fire on any v that ui
tempted te leave the harbor. Two da\s alter
this occurrence, on the 1111. January, Gover
nor Pickens had the audacity to demand of
Major Anderson the surrender l the ?rt. In
his answer of the same date the Major ma le
the following proportion : " Shonl l \ ()( ir jr.\
oelloncy deem fir, previous to ales n-i to arm-,
to refer this matter to Washington it w.m .l
afford me the sincerest pleasure to I. pnte ~?ie
of my officers to accompany au\ u.e>-png, 1
you may deem proper to be the bearer oi
yout demand." 1 Ins prop .-ition wi-pr. mp -
ly accepted by the Governor, and n pur-n
--ance thereof, he sent on his pu- , Hon. J vy
Hayne the Attorney General of Smith Caroli
na, to Washington, whilst M .jo- Anderson de
puted Lieutenant Hall of the United S'ates
Army, to accompany him. The.-cgentlemen
arrived together in Washington on the evening
of the 18th January, when the President ob
tained the firsr knowledge ul tin trail-action.
But it will be rec fleeted that 11 . time inter
vened between the' r#ur:> of ih- $ ar of the
West to New York and the arrival - f th.
messenger bearing a copy of the true, at
Washington within which i would have been
possible to fond reinforcements to Fcrt Sump- ,
ter. Both events occurred about the same
time.
Thus a truce or suspension of arms, was
concluded between the parties, to continue
until the question of the surrender of the
fort should be decided by the President.—
Until this decision Major Anderson had plac
ed it out of his own power to ask for rein
forcements, and equally out of the power of
the Government to send them without a vio
latii nof public fault. This was what wri-
ters on public law denominate " a partial
truce under which hostilities are suspended
only in certain places, as between a town and
an army beseiging it." It is possible that
the President, under the lawa of war, might
have annulled this truce upon due notice to
the opposite party ; but neither Gen. Scott
nor any other person ever suggested such an
expedient. 'litis wculd have been to cast a
reflection on Major Anderson, who, beyond
question, acted Irotn the highest and purest
motives. Did Gen. Scott ever propose to
vi late this truce during its existence ? If he
did lam not now, nor never was, aware of
the fact. Indeed I think he would have been
one of the ia-t men in the world to propose
.-uch a measure.
Col. Hayne did not deliver the letter which
be bore from Gov. Pickens, demanding th
surrender of the lort, to the President until
the 31st of January. The documents con
tabling the reasons for this worrying delay
were communicated to Congress in u special
message of the Bth of February, to which I
refer the reader. On the sth of February
the Secretary of War, under the instructs, n
<>l the President, gave a peremptory rc .] uga i
to this demand in an able and comprehensive
letter, reViewmg t e wh; le subject, explain
ing and justifying ~ l)n ,] ue t, 0 f t j )c . p (Vs j.
dent. throughoOf i ts concluding sentence
is both el.,q,v C nt and emphatic:
I', ( says Mr. Ilolt ) with all the multi
plied proofs that exists of the Presidents anxi
ety for | eace, and of the earnestness with
which he has pursued it, the authorities of
that State shall assault, Fort Sumpter and
imperil the I'Ves of the handful cf brave and
'°3 a ' "'en shut up within its walls, and thus
plunge our country into the honors of civil
war, then upon them and those they represent
must rest the responsibility."
The truce was then ended, and General
Scott is incorrect in sta ing that it lasted to
the end of that administration.
All expedition was quietly fitted out at
New York, under the supervision of Gen.
8c >tt to be ready for any contingency. He
arranged its details, and regarded the rein
foicements thus provided for as sufficient,
llns was ready to sail lor Fort Sumpter on
live hours notice. It is ot this expedition
that General Scott thus speaks:
'•At tha time, when this ( the truce) had
passed away, Sect claries ll.dt and Toticey,
Lapt. Ward, of the navy, and myself, with
the knowledge of Ihe President, settled upon
i;.e employment, under the Captain, of three
1 lour Steatite S bel-.tigin . to the C.-a-t Sltr
\e., bu. t.e was kept back by the truce."
A strange inconsistency. The truce had ex
pi-, .i wit . Mr. II ,lt' s letter to C-.1. Hayne on
toe 51 h of February, and Gen. Scott in his
s atctiieiit says " it would have been easy to
reinforce ibis f .11 <l. w:i to about the twelfth
ot Februaft." Why then did not the rtin
to,cements proceed? This was simply be
cause of communications from Major Ander
son. It was in >st fortunate that they did
11.1 proceed ; because the three or four small
-tea.i.ers which were to bear then, would
iiev.T li.iw reached the lort, and in the at
. inpi niu-l have been captured or destroyed.
The vast inadequacy of the force provided to
accomplish me object deinoti-*ra'ed by in
formation received fr. in Major Anderson at
M.e War Department on the fast day ot the
administration. •

I channan in reply to the censure of Gen.

I quest of numerous subscribers, to the ex
clusion ohour usual variety. It is a state
ment of events founded upon the truths of
history which have lonir been withheld from
; the people who have the light, and should
' : know the truth concerning the matter.
1 he writer has been the recipient of abuse
I and deformation without stint, but never he
. fie stooped to notice these slanders, because

1 our venerable Ex-President in expo ;i>"- the
1 fallacy of ail these newspaper charges with
: which the abolition picas has been teeming
1 , for the past few months. As will he seen, it
.I is not a tue e statement of facts, but the
1 proofs are disclosed. It is a document wor
1 th} of it- distinguished author, and should
. be carefully read by every man in the land.
A Noble Sentiment,
Gen McGleii.m in closing a few remarks at
a public demonstration in Trenton a few ev
. enings since, made u-e of the following word-:
, j " I bare but one word more, my f/iends.
to say ; it is to advise you. while your sol
diers are fighting in the field, to see that the
war is prosecuted for its piopcr objects
the preservation of the Union awl the. Cm
stilution and the. maintenance your na
tionality and your rights as citizens."
Such a sentiment i* worthy of the man who
has done more than any soldier in the Union
army, towards .-usiaiuing the Federal cause
in the pending struggle with " traitors in
arms." It will live in history among the
• ml offerings of Washington, Jefferson, Jack
son. Clay and Webster. They may place ob
j structions on every hand, hoping thereby to
; curb the operations of such a thought; yet.
it will pen .itrate the walls of man's device
and hold council with the friends of civil and
j religious liberty, clinging with a stronger
j bold wheie the chains of tyrants bind then
victims. This thought, always entertained
1 by the great Democratic party as the prelim
-1 inary ground work of *ur institutions, is deal
er to-day than ever before, and will live and
thrive as long as Democratic institutions ex
ert an influence. The late commander of
the Army of the Put -mac *- ill lose none of
his greatne3's by the recent change, already
is he urged for the highest officii in the gift
\of a free people, who recognize worth with-

Corruption in tlic New York Custom House, i
A gigantic scheme of corruption on the j
part of govorninent officials, has just been j
discovered 111 the New York Custom [louse,
and this time the poor importer , who usually
bears all the sins ranged under the head of
Custom House delinquencies, escapes without
blemish. It appears that certain Custom
House brokers have been in the habit of re
ceiving the regular invoice with the proper
sum of money f>r duties from the imborteis.
and tiien bv the connivance of certain clerks
and other officers, putting an entirely qiffer
ent invoice through all the stages of entry
and paying a differaut amount into the Treas
ury, dividing the plunder betweenthe< flieials
and their own pockets. The Commercial ve
ports the ascertained deficiency at $125,000
to $25().000 ; but this is mere conjecture.
We learn that nearly 1000 genuine invoices
were found suppressed in on* broker's office.
There is probably no truth ; n the report that
Collector Barney is to be removed, lie and
Mr. Chase are said io be warmly attached
friends, and it is not likely that the Secreta
ry of the Treasury will aliow his friend to
sulfur. This is a fair specimen of Abolition

The latest item of Washington news is the

ital, to be disposed of as ciictimstances 111 y
dictate. We do not vouch for it- truth, but
it sounds very believable, if we may bu allow
to coin a word fur the occasiun. The item
reads thus :
"It is stated, on good authority, that the
main object of Gen. Ilalleck's visit to the
Army of the Potuiac, last week, was to im
press upon Gen. Burnside the necessity for an
immediate advance. Indeed, he told the gen
| eral implicitly that he mu jt move at once for
political as well as form litary reasons. The
new commander of the Army of the Potomac
instantly replied in substance that so long as
its movemenst were under his control they
would be governed by military necessities
exclusively; that if they were to be controlled
by political necessities, he must a-k thai
Some other general be appointed in his place
under whom he would nio-t cheerfully serve.
Gen. Bnrnside added that he was much sur
prised ai the transfer W the command of the
Army of the Potuiac from Gen |McCTellan to
himself as the gene al public appeared to be,
and as lor.g as he 1 named it he wished to

Brinsrnade, as related by tha New York
World, and fully sustained by official author
ity, will arrest the attention and excite the
indignation of the whole American people,
not only against the brute, Kennedy, but
against an administration that resorts to
such means and employs such agents to vio

FROM THE N. Y. WORI.D.
Whoever has a sister, a wife, or a daugh
'sr, and aesircs to know what pangs may
conit to him through those tender ties—who
ever would learn (beyond what Naples and
the Inquisition can teach) to what outrage
ous lengths the unbridled, unpunished exer
cise (d unlawful and despot'c power will run
may learn frun the correspondence in the
case of Mrs. Brinstu ide, which* we publish
this morning,
Mrs. Brinsmade, a young and beautiful
woman, hardly out of her teens, possessing
tiiere.< re neither tlie self-restraint which
Comes with year- nor the cautious reticence
of the other sex, two months a.'o came North
under a pass from Gefi. Butler, in the New
Orleans steamer, in order to spend the win
ter with her relatives in Washington and
! roy. Arrived in the former city she is ar
rested without warrant, imprisoned without
trial, denied communication with her friends,
kept closely guarded, at length brought on
to this city and thrown into prison in the
Forty-seventh street station-house. Through
a haccxtnan employed by the officer in charge
of her, her friends in this city learn of the
outrage; they apply civilly to the infamous
Kennedy, who made the arrest, to know its
cause. I hey are assailed with imprecations
and threats that they too shall be 10/.ked up
if the inquiry is repeated. A wired by a
deputy 'hat the prisoner is to be sent to her
father in New Or leans by the next steamer,
her friends content themselves with the hope
that, although every form of iaw, every guar
antee of civil and personal liberty has been
violated by one of their appointed custodi
ans, the sufferer had at least escaped with
out loss of life or of that which is dearer.
Blither wrongs were not yet ended
i hey di l not know the Kenne ly. Perhaps
they had never hear !of Cell \ 4. Thinv
five days afterwards a lo.tcr was received b,
one of her friends, from which it wa-> learned
tout she was still a close prisoner in the F"r

! only by male attendants, fed with prisoner's
late, a part ..f the time prostrated by il'neSs
as well as griet, every instinct" of decency
ihtis violated as well as every form of law.
Two ladies then apply to the Kenne ly f.r
permission to see their friend. It is denied.
! Ihey ask what are the charges and who the
accusers. <l I, the Kennedy, am the accuser ;
j I arrested her. I put her an I keep her
where the is, and she ought to be hung."
Hopeless ol redress from the brute whom
this infamy blasts up an 1 down thr >ugli all
his lineage and in !l his posterity. Mrs
Briiidmadeks friends applied to Provost Mar
shal General Draper. Mr. Draper promptly
addressed himself to the Judge Advocate
General, who said he knew n .tiling of the
case; to Mr. Kennedy, who replied that she
was held by order of Col. Baker, provost
marshal ol Washington; to Col. Baker and
the Assistant Secretary of War, who replied
(proving that the Kenedy of course had iie<P
that the arrest, had been made by one of Mr.
Kennedy's officers, and that Mrs. Brmsmade
was detained by him without any authority
whatever from the War Department ; where
upon Mr. Draper got from the Kennedy an
order for the lady s release, went in person
and executed it, and left her in the charge <>
her friends. 1
It is but justice to say that the War De
partment is no further respmsible for tiiis
particular outrage than as responsibility is
implied in its having been gdiltyof similar
ones, in its living committed despotic and
illegal pow r into the bands of a petty Cali
gula, an lin its having hitherto c nnived at
every license to which the itchings of a pal
try polico despot and the instincts of a brute
had goaded him on.
Of Mr. Draper it only needs to be said, to
those who do not know him, that his hu
inanity and his sense of justice needed no
second or long appeal, an I that the functions
of an offiie which never ought to have been
created are redeemed from utter detestation
in the character of a gentleman by whom it
never ought to have been assumed.
