It is his opinion that instructions should be given, at once, to the commanders of the Barrancas, Forts Moultrie and Monroe, to be on their guard agains surprises and coups de main. As to regular approaches nothing can be said or done, at this time, without volunteers. There is one (regular) company at Boston, one here, (at the Narrows,) one at Pittsburg, one at Augusta, Ga., and one at Baton Rouge — in all five companies only, within reach, to garrison or reinforce the forts mentioned in the Views.

The Secretary's most obedient servant, October 30, 1860. W. S. --National Intelligencer, January 18, 1861.
