Up to ten o'clock last night, the President, after declaring that Anderson had acted in violation of orders, and of the written agreement, signed by his own hand, and carried to South Carolina by Mr. Miles, was undecided what to do in the premises — whether to order Anderson back to Fort Moultrie, where he belongs, or to keep him in Fort Sumter, and so disgrace himself (the President,) and the Secretary of War.

It is noSecretary Floyd considered his honor pledged to South Carolina. He will return to Virginia, where he intends to carry out his policy of restraining against any overt act, till dissolution is inevitable. It is not certain that Maj. Anderson will remain at Fort Sumter. He may be yet remanded, provided satisfactory assurance can be given that he will not be attacked by the South Carolinians. It is stated that Gen. Scott submitted to the President, several days ago, a plan for blockading Charleston, besides strongly reinforcing all Southern garrisons, and for making other military preparations; but his plan was not favorably received.
