Sanders on the Wires again.

--The following telegraphic dispatch was sent to ex-President Buchanan on the 4th March:

Montgomery, Alabama. (Capital Confed. States of America,) March 4th, 1861

You choose to be the ‘"last President of the United States,"’ leaving ‘"no Government behind you,"’ and to die amidst curses of all mankind.

Geo. N. Sanders.

President Buchanan, Washington, D. C., (late Captal U. S. of America.)

The quotations are from the famous Charleston dispatch, which Sanders sent to ‘"Old Buck,"’ and from the latter on his removal from office.
