[for the Dispatch.] July 4th, 1861. Messrs. Editors:--Being very desirous to see Gen. Scott, I went to Gordonsville Thursday, the 3rd, to do so, as I understood he was in Washington and said he would dine in Richmond the 4th. Can you inform an old farmer why he did not dine there, and whether he has apologized to the citizens for not coming? If he did not, can you give the people any information?

And won't President Davis think hard of him for not comrag? Would it not be well to send a committee to Washington to wait on him, and assure him that a conveyance had been and is still waiting to bring him down? and I don't think it would be prudent for him to refuse such competent escorts as Lee and Beauregard. Would it? W. S. C.

e professional opinion of the writer that reinforcements could not be thrown into that fort within the time for his relief, rendered necessary by the limited supply of provisions, and with a view of holding possession of the same, with a force of less than 20,000 good and well-disciplined men. This opinion was concurred in by all the officers of his command, and their memoranda on the subject were made enclosures of Major Anderson's letter. The whole was immediately laid before Lieutenant General Scott, who at once concurred with General Anderson in opinion. On reflection, however, he took full time, consulting with officers both of the Army and Navy, and at the end of four days came reluctantly but decidedly to the same conclusion as before. He also stated at the same time last no such sufficient force was then at the control of the Government, or could be raised and brought on the ground within the time when the provisions in the fort would be exhausted. In a purely milit
