The National crisis. letter from Robert E. Scott — the capture of the New Orleans Barracks — from the Florida forts — Washington Rumors — Interesting statement of Lieut. Hall, &c. Letter from Robert E. Scott. Mr. Robert E. Scott, of Fauquier, has written a letter to a member of the House Committee of Thirty-Three, which is published. He does not think Lincoln's election justifies dissolution, though he views it as an abuse of power by the stronger section of the country.

Nothing would have been gained but the immediate opening of a civil war, the loss of the ship and the lives of those on board.
