t to Forts Moultrie and Sumter, both would now have been in the possession of the United States, and not a battery below them could have been created by the Secessionists; consequently, the access to those forts from the sea would now (the end of March) be unobstructed and free. * The same day, December 15, I wrote the following note: "Lieutenant-General Scott begs the President to pardon him for supplying, in this note, what he omitted to say this morning at the interview with whicaptain Vodges was agreed upon, viz: "At the first favorable moment you will land with your company, reinforce Fort Pickons, and hold the same until further orders. " This order, in duplicate, left New York in two naval vessels about the middle of March, as the mail and the wires could not be trusted, and detached officers could not be substituted, for two had already been arrested and paroled by the authorities of Pensacola, dispatches taken from them, and a third, to escape like treatment, for

of the Navy, and myself-- with the knowledge of the President, (Buchanan,) settled upon the employment, under the captain, (who was anger for the expedition,) of three or four small steamers belonging to the Coast Survey. At that time, (late in January,) I have but little doubt Captain Ward would have reached Fort Sumter with all his vessels. But he was kept back by something like a truce or armistice, (made here,) embracing Charleston and Pensacola harbors, agreed upon between the late Pressoldiers, made up his numbers to seventy-six men, with whom this meritorious officer has since held Fort Pickens, and performed, working night and day, an immense amount of labor in mounting guns, keeping up a strong guard, &c., &c Early in January I renewed, as has been seen, my solicitations to be allowed to reinforce Fort Pickens, but a good deal of time was lost in vacillations First, the President "thought if no movement is made by the United States, Fort McRae will probably not be o

Afterwards Secretary Holt and myself endeavored in vain to obtain a ship-of-war for the purpose, and were finally obliged to employ the passengble war vessels, another Commissioner from south Carolina arrived, causing further delay. When this had passed away Secretaries Holt and Toucey, Captain Ward, of the Navy, and myself-- with the knowledge of the President, (Buchanan,) settled upon thent Buchanan, having entered into a quasi armistice with certain leading seceders at Pensacola and elsewhere, caused Secretaries Holt and Touley to instruct, in a joint note, the commanders of the war vessels off Pensacola and Lieut Slemmer, commandiollows the "Supplement," which we published a few days ago.] *It was not till January 4 that, by the aid of Secretary Holt, (a strong and loyal man,) I obtained permission to send succor to the feeble garrison of Fort Taylor, Key West, and

one which has appeared in print without his authority, and which, it is asserted in the public papers, the Secretary of State, to whom the letter was written, denies any instrumentality in making public. [Here follows the "Supplement," which we published a few days ago.] *It was not till January 4 that, by the aid of Secretary Holt, (a strong and loyal man,) I obtained permission to send succor to the feeble garrison of Fort Taylor, Key West, and at the same time a company--Major Arnold's, from Boston"to occupy Fort Jefferson, Tortugas Island. If this company had been three days later the fort would have been pre-occupied by Floridians. It is known that the rebels had their eyes upon those powerful forts, which govern the commerce of the Mexican Gulf, as Gibraltar and Malta govern that of the Mediterranean. With Forts Jefferson and Taylor, the rebels might have purchased an early recognition from Europe. It was known at the Navy Department that the Brooklyn, with

e time — and they would have been sufficient to reinforce temporarily Fort Pickens, and to occupy Fort McRae also — the President, about January 18, permitted that the sloop of war Brooklyn should take a single company, ninety men, from Fortress Monroe, Hampton Roads, and reinforce Lieut Slemmer, in Fort Pickens, but without a surplus man for the neighboring fort, McRae. The Brooklyn, with Captain Vodges's company alone, left the Chesapeake for Fort Pickens about January 22d, and, on the 29th, President Buchanan, having entered into a quasi armistice with certain leading seceders at Pensacola and elsewhere, caused Secretaries Holt and Touley to instruct, in a joint note, the commanders of the war vessels off Pensacola and Lieut Slemmer, commanding Fort Pickens, to commit no act of hostilities, and not to land Captain Vodges's company unless that fort should be attacked. [That joint note I never saw until March 25th, but suppose the armistice was consequent upon the meeting of
