He went home troubled. He had in tended, coming in at so late a day, to remain a quiet member of this discordant council. But it was not in his nature to sit quiet longer under such utterances. The next meeting was a long and stormy one, Mr. Holt, feebly seconded by the President, urging the immediate reinforcement of Sumter, while Thompson, Floyd, and Thomas contended that a quasi treaty had been made by the officers of the Government with the leaders of the rebellion to offer no resistn heard in Buchanan's Cabinet, and the men who had so long ruled and billed the President, were surprised and enraged to be thus rebuked. Floyd and Thompson sprang to their feet with fierce, menacing gestures, seeming about to assault Stanton. Mr. Holt took a step forward to the side of the Attorney General. The imbecile President implored them piteously to take their seats. After a few more bitter words the meeting broke up. That was the last Cabinet meeting on that exciting question in whi

Another object of the well supported reconnaissance was to threaten Columbus in the rear, to prevent General Polk from sending reinforcements to Buckner or Bowling Green, or from affording relief to the Confederates at camps Beauregard and Felicia. Northern Railroad facilities. The Yankee Congress is engaged in considering the subject of increased railroad facilities between New York and Washington. One proposition is to construct a new road direct from Washington to New York; another provides for the construction of double tracts and sidings on existing routes. With a view to prepare a bill providing for the repair and protection by the Government of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad where it has been destroyed, and is now obstructed by the rebels, a resolution has been submitted by the committee asking information from the War Department as to the amount of military force, and the time when it can be spared for this purpose.

The bearer, Mr. A. M. C.--, of Boston, has permission to pass our lines into the United States. Fortified with this he walked out of Columbus, in four miles passed the last of their pickets, and in four miles more reached a column of our "expedition," making a reconnaissance toward Columbus. Col. Paine, commanding our brigade, was greatly disgusted at the pass, and exclaimed, "Why, didn't the reverend old fool know you were in the United States at Columbus!" The blockade. Mr. C. represents the blockade as only effective enough to be provoking. During one week that he spent in Savannah four vessels ran the blockade and entered that harbor, heavily laden with Enfield rifles, army stores, and the more important necessaries. They have purchased large quantities of arms in Europe,

Corcoran, of the New York 69th, writes two letters from his prison in Charleston to friends in New York. He states that his treatment is courteous and kind, though strict. He says: I have never yet been heard to utter a single word of complaint against any action of my Government, nor do I now wish to be classed among the faith finders; but while many of those who deserted their posts on the battle-field, and ran off from the face of danger to a place of safety, have been rewarded with almost unprecedented promotion, I think it is due to the officers and men who remained in the performance of duty faithfully to the last, and thus fell victims to a long imprisonment, that they should receive at least sufficient cons

Mason and Slidell. The news of the capture of Mason and Slidell at once brought gold down from thirty-five to fifteen per cent, premium. Confidence in their Government increased as the prospect of war between the United States and England appeared, and they Slidell at once brought gold down from thirty-five to fifteen per cent, premium. Confidence in their Government increased as the prospect of war between the United States and England appeared, and they were jubilant accordingly. The subsequent release was a crushing disappointment, and under the depression gold mounted rapidly again to an exorbitant premium. Their spirit — about our fighting. They have made up their mind that the North must be as well convinced by this time as they are of the impossibility of reconstructing the Union, and must, therefore, be waging the war as one of subjugation, Against this, former Union men will fight as readily as original secessionists, and it i

my one, Mr. Holt, feebly seconded by the President, urging the immediate reinforcement of Sumter, while Thompson, Floyd, and Thomas contended that a quasi treaty had been made by the officers of the Government with the leaders of the rebellion to offer no resistance to their violations of law and seizures of Government property. Floyd, especially, blazed with indignation at what he termed the "violation of honor." At last Mr. Thompson formally moved that an imperative order be issued to Major Anderson to retire from Sumter to Fort Moultrie--abandoning Sumter to the enemy, and proceeding to a post where he must at once surrender. Stanton could sit still no longer, and rising, he said, with all the earnestness that could be expressed in his bold and resolute features, "Mr. President, it is my duty as your legal adviser to say that you have no right to give up the property of the Government, or abandon the soldiers of the United States to its enemies; and the course proposed by the S

And, to man the fortifications and aid in the defence, they have a force of no less than 50,000 men, under Major General Lovell. The Port Royal Affair. Mr. C. was in Savannah at the time of the naval bombardment at Port Royal. A single regiment, in his opinion, could have taken Savannah, or the fleet could have run past Fort Pulaski and taken the city with more case than they reduced Hilton ad. The whole country side at once rushed down with miscellaneous weapons and no organization: and even after fifteen or twenty thousand had collected, they would only have swelled the slaughter on their own side, if an attack had been promptly made. But now everything has been lost, the fortifications have been strengthened, and the most efficient preparations have been made for a desperate defence. At New Orleans the people were much depressed over the loss of Port Royal island,-- Su
