ons. These several sums amount to $1,400,000. It is hoped that circumstances may arise which will give a pacific settlement to our difficulties, and if so, every reasonable endeavor shall be made to prevent the expenditure of the whole amount; but the more certain way to produce a pacific turn to events, is to be thoroughly prepared to meet any emergency. F. W. Pickens. A South Carolina view. The following extract, says the Boston Transcript, is from a letter received by Mr. F M. Blodget, of this city, dated Charleston, S. C., January 9, 1861, from a partner in a large commission produce house in the latter city: Your favor of the 27th ult, is at hand, and its contents noted. Business here is at a stand, and I think the port will be closed in a day or two. Every man in the State is armed and ready for action, and all the Northern fanatics and abolitionists can never subdue South Carolina. The steamer Star of the West arrived here this morning, with United States t

, I have the honor to state as follows: According to the latest report of the engineer officer having charge of the construction of the defences of the harbor of Charleston, everything practicable had been done to place Fort Moultrie in an efficient condition, and, with a proper garrison, it was deemed susceptible of an energetic defence. There were then employed at that work one officer and one hundred and twenty workmen, independent of the regular garrison. On the evening of the 26th ultimo, Major Robert Anderson, First Artillery, in command of the troops in Charleston harbor, apprehensive of the safety of his command from the insecurity of the fort, and having reason to believe that the South Carolinians contemplated or were prepared to proceed to a hostile act against him, and desiring to prevent a collision and the effusion of blood, evacuated Fort Moultrie, after leaving orders for spiking the cannon and disabling some of the carriages, and removed his forces to Fort Sum

I enclose a statement (No. 1.) of the number and description of ordnance and arms, at the date of the last returns, at Fort Moultrie, Castle Pinckney and Charleston Arsenal, respectively. That Arsenal, with all its contents, was also taken possession of on the 30th ultimo, by an armed body of South Carolina troops, acting under orders of the Governor of the State, as represented in the following report of Frederick C. Humphreys, military storekeeper of ordnance, in charge, viz: "This Arsenal was taken by force of arms by the militia of South Carolina, by order of Governor Pickens. The commanding officer was allowed to salute his flag before lowering it, with one gun for each State now in the Union, (thirty-two,) and to take it with him, and the detac

John Tyler. Letter from the Secretary of War. War Department, Jan. 03. 1861. Sir: --In answer to your letter asking for information on certain points specified in a resolution adopted by the Committee on Military Affairs of the House of Representatives, on the 18th ultimo, I have the honor to state as follows: According to the latest report of the engineer officer having charge of the construction of the defences of the harbor of Charleston, everything practicable had been done to place Fort Moultrie in an efficient condition, and, with a proper garrison, it was deemed susceptible of an energetic defence.

That we will aid each other and all good citizens against abolition violence, and attacks upon private property. 4. We will act in event of the withdrawal of Maryland and Virginia from the Union in such manner as shall best secure ourselves and those States from the evils of a foreign and hostile government within their borders. Union meeting at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Jan. 16. --An immense gathering took place here to-night at National Hall, in obedience to an invitation to men of all parties in opposition to the Republicans. Resolutions favoring conciliation, instead of the coercion of the South, and a peaceful separation, if it must be, rather than civil war, were adopted. The meeting also adopted resolutions appealing to the South not to turn away in anger from their friends, leaving them to the despotism of a sectional party, and declaring the Dem

the Albany Evening Journal.] The President elect will be escorted to Washington by the Springfield (ill.) Zouaves, in spite of threats coming from any source. This company is composed of young men who have for some months past been under the instruction of Col. Ellsworth, and in drill they are said to be fully equal to the genuine original Zouaves. A correspondent writing to the Davenport (Iowa) Gazette, says: "This company intends to do escort duty to the President elect on the 4th of March next, accompanying him to Washington, and returning by Philadelphia, New York, Albany, etc. They number over sixty, and are in a perfect state of drill, having already taken several prizes, and surprised the famous Chicago boys in their efficiency. They are commanded by Captain Cook, a gentleman who understands the Zouave practice, and I doubt not will create a sensation while in Washington." True to the South.

ed, commercial favors and advantages may be received, and much that now exists may be preserved. Pursue a different course, and all may be lost. Strange, indeed, that odious discriminations should be drawn between equals in a common concern. Such was my opinion in 1820, in the discussion on the Missouri question, and such will it ever remain. The talented editors of the "National Intelligencer" gave me an enviable position in certain able articles, written by them in the summer or fall of 1859. They speak of me as being the only member of Congress, at that day, who, in debate, denied to Congress the right to prohibit slavery in the Territories. I stood there then, and I stand there now, not as in my early life alone in debate — but now in my age, sustained as I believe, by the concurrent opinions of a majority of the people of the United States, and leaning on the decision of the Supreme Court as on a staff which no rage of faction can weaken, to convulsion, however serious, can
