SUPPOSED REINFORCEMENTS FOR TEE GARRISON OF FORT SUMYER—RBPORTED MYSTMRIOUS DEFAR- TURE OF THR STAR OF THE WEST—ATTITUDE OF BOUTH CAROLINA. ‘The remors which prevailed in this cityon Sunday last ‘that there was “something in the wind” about Gover. nor’ Island, were the cause of great excitement and pub- lie concern. The report, which it now appears was not ailogether unfonnded, was to the effect that a considera- die cody of federal troops had been quietly removed from the island garrison to some urknown point. ‘The peculiar situation of affairs in South Carolina, of course, very naturally pointed to that region of evnntry as the desti- tion of tho troops. The embarkation and transfer of the soldiers, it is suid, were effected during Saturday night’ lust with as iittle noise ae possible. The sicaner Star of the West, which airived at this port fro. avana on Monday last, was, as far a8 we have learned, the capacious vessel ke- jected for the conveyance of the military and warlike stores which were to be sent South. According to the usa) practice, and in accordance with public advertiae- ment, this steamer should have left New York for Ha- vana aud New Orleans yesterday, or this merning; but instead of this, she suddenly disappeared from the bar- dor ata time when no one expected her departure. The fact is that private arrangements are said to have een made for the charter of the vessel, and the preliminary management had been conducted with eo much skill and prudence that nothing was known to the public until the steamer was far away on her trip. It was not long, however, be. fore @ ubiquitous reporter got upom the ecent. All the secrecy and mystery of the Governor's Island folks were useless to blind his clear vision. But as al! com- urunication with the island was positively interdicted, it was next to impossible to obtain anything like reliable information. That the troops had been embarked during Soturday night, and that the steamer had elipped ber cabler and put to sea early on Sunday morning, there was scarcely any doubt at all expressed. There were wake- ful watchers enough between the Battery and Hamilton avenue to obeerve thestealthy midnight movemen of blue- coated goldiery, but the only difficulty was to ascertain their destination, Some people thought that they were sent to Washington, others that they were intended to garrison and protect unoccupied federal forts; but the majority were very clearly of opinion that Fort Sumter and Major Anderson had something to do with the move- ment. It ia very well known that a good deal of activity has been manifested in the enlistment of recruits on Gover- nor’s Island for several week. The drum cail has rattled on the island early an industry evineed in the drilling of raw recruits. Since communication with the island has been suspended, by or- der of the officers in command, but very few soldiers are to be seen moving about the isfand, and until fresh recruits are enrolled it will be eome time before such active exercises are again witnessed there. The difficult position of Major Anderson in Fort Sumter bad, it is {rumored, attracted the attention of the merchants of New York. Everybody seemed to ap- prove of the action of this officer, nui while some of his admirers were thundering forth soivos of artillery in his honor through — of the country, the more practical men were ing to send prompt and = effestual relief. For several past @number of wealthy merchants of this city had been making arrangemente to send him supplies and reinforce- ments. This was not with the intention of exciting the people of South Carolina, but for the of placing the gallant Major and his little garrison aie to majitain themselves against any sudden and idablo attack. oy ET said, was freely (0: thooming from all sides, and number of men to be seut, as well as the other necessary preliminaries, were fully settled on Friday night. ee commander of the expedition had pro- cured all the supplies necessary for the occasion, such as preserved meats, dessicated vegetables, coal, and other articles of which’the garrison of Fort Sumter was sup to be greatly in need. Everything was in readiness for the departure of the expedition on Lengthy Kip bers when it was discovered that the government anticipated the patriotic pur- pose of the parties concerned, and that Lieutenant General Scott had telegraphed orders to this city for the imme- diate embarkation of (vo hundred and fifty men, with all the necessary munitions of war, and that the foree should be instautly wespatched to the South. The astute and ‘wary commander of the American forces was, it appears, not satisfied with a more telegraphic message in so im: wtanta matter. After telegraphing, he despatched Col. homas in person to this city to see to the chartering of the Star of the West, and all the other necessary arrangemente. It, therefore, seems that strong reinforcements haye been sent to the relief of Major Anderson, and we may now, momentiy. look for very important intelligence from South Carolina, The ‘ar of the West wll reach Charleston sometime this ternoon, and we may fairly anticipate the reception of tegraphie advices bétore eventing. The troops and pro- visions thus sent wil, of course, be thrown into the be- sieged fortress at all hazards; acd ifall the cireumsiances: which have transpired be strictiy correct, it will be little th iracie to prevent a hostile collicion. Under ei ances, the garrison of Fort Sumter are reported to be determined not to surrender, and it is weil known that the small corps of gol- have sworn to stand firmiy to one another their commander. The intelligence that is xcted irom Charleston is big with itmportance ate of the nation, La the present excited state of the South it is next to impossible that Major Andor son’s reinforcements can be landed without resistance, and ihe resuit# might prove the beginning of a vory seri: ous attain. We also learn that an order has been re- ceived in this city from the War Depart- ment, directing all the availabie troops on this station to be mustered and critically inspected at Gover- nor’s Island on Shureday next no man may be ab- sent at rol call, the utmost strictness is exercise! in making out the daily liberty lists, and ne soldier is allow- ed to leave (uo island except by Special permission. Ali the remaining troops in garrison are held im readiness for immediate departares ‘As we said before, there is much mystery connected with the movemonts on the island. Notling is allowed wo transpire that can by any possibility be concealed. ‘To an enquiry made of an oflicer by one of our reporters, he received ihe reply, in tho classic language of Congress, that the whole thing was ‘a — lie.’ Tho steamship Columbia, from Charleston, arrived here yesterday afternoon with ‘fty-four cabin passcagers, seme of whom had been empioyed on the works at Fort Sumter. A reporter of this p per had a convereation with one of # ngers. He states that the excite. mont in South Carolina is as greet now as ever. Every- thing there is at fever heat. He iso informs us that the Teporte about the sufferings of the poople of Charleston are utterly false. There is no dissatisfaction among the troops, nor any necessity for forced loaus. ‘The supplies from the interior were as large as usual, Every precaution had been taken (o protect tie harbor of Charleston and to prevent the potsibility of che entrance of any vessels, especially at nicht. Ddaoys ve all been removed, amd the pilots are interdicted from bringing veseels into port. [t_{s therefore almost impossible for cay vessel to onter Charleston harbor at the present time.

They have made no discoveries implicat- ing any persons except the parties known to be impll- cated, They have gone to New York city, aud will re main there for several days. It is understood they are on the scent of some New Yorkers who have been dabbling in these bonds, making money out of them, and who are supposed to hold a good mauy ofthem. They found in their sittings here, in examining witnesses, great difficulty to get at the facts. They have made no discoveries indicating that the robberies ex- tended further back than July last. They have not yet examined either Bailey or Russell. AFFAIRS IN MEXICO. Minister McLane arrived here this evening, and will re- port to the State Department to-morrow. Miramon was still in possession of the capital of Mexico, at the head of about ten thousand men. The liberals are approaching the city from three different points—Ampudia, at the head of ten thousand men; Hureta, at the bead of about the same number, and Ortega being the Com- mander-in-Chief, and having from five to ten thousand men under his immediate command. The total liberal force is about thirty thousand men. They ought to be efore the City of Mexico before the lstof February. If they fail in these operations the state of anarchy and dis- order will be worse than ever before. But the general impression was that they would succeed. ‘The British Minister was at Jalapa, The French Minis- ter is in the City of Mexico, but will not recoguise Mira- mon. The Prussian Minister, with Mr. Lovatur, of the American Legation, were at San Angel, near the city. Miramon is very active, and the victory of Zaluca was a great success, and greatly inspirited his people. Rofore Mr, McLane’s departure the foreign ministers, in person and through correspondence, explained fran kly aud fully tocach other the policy of their respective countries. All the Buropean ministers assured Mr. Mc- Lane that there should be no European intervention in the affairs of Mexico. ‘The British Minister had notified the Mexican govern- ment that a Britiah fleet would be before Vera Craz in February, to enforce the demand he had made for a res- titution of the money seized by Degollado in Septembor ast, THE NEW ADMINISTRATION. Srrxcrnmp, Ml., Jan. 6, 1861. Tam able to state on the mort} direct authority that Governor Salmon P. Chase has not been tendered a seat in Mr. Lincoln’s Cabinet, aud that Mr. Seward will cer- tainly be Secretary of State, should he desire the posi- tion. The Greeley faction is evidently off the track, Mr. Lincoln disapproves of the proposition to admit New Mexico with her Territorial slave code unchanged. SPRINGFIELD, Ll., Jn. 7—12 P. M. Tam able to say to-night, on positive authority, that Mr. Cameron has not been tendered the appointment of Secretary of the Treasury. He came here on his own in- vitation, not at Mr. Lincoln’s suggestion, and wont away disappointed. The report of his appointment was the result of intimations dropped by him here and elsewhere, and for a while was gene- rally believed even here, and by Mr. Lincoln's friends. No small indignation is felt in certain quarters that he has permitted the report to go uncontradicted, and the letters which came here from Washington descri- bing his solf satisfaction when congratulated on his ele- vation do not allay the irritation. ‘This is the exact truth in the matter, and may be implicitly relied on by your readers. Most emphatic protests against Mr. Cameron’s appointment have been received here from prominent republican Congressmen, which show that the matter is altogether misunderstood there. Leading republicans from all parts of the State are putting influences to work to secure Mr. Chase's accept- ance of the place which Cameron did not get. They are writing and telegraphing all over the Union to-night. They say that he is the man to stop the leaks and intro- duce economy into the government, and that they must have him, Srricrretp, I., Jan. §—1 A. M. The general impression here now is, that the South will be represented in the Cabinet by two members at Jeast, including Mr. Bates. It is understood that Governor Chase intimated a preference for the retention of a seat im the Senate, in response toa hint ata probable offer of a place in the Cabinet. ‘The tender of a special train over the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad has uot been formally made. D. W. Boss, the general agent of the road, and W. B. Og- den, receiver, are now here, presuiptively in connection with the matter, Pennsylyu:ia influences are at work to induce Mr. Lincoln's passage through that State. Apprehensions of attempts to prevent Mr. Lincoln’s in- auguration by force are-felt. tis said thatletters have been received here from responsible partics in Virginia revealing plots to that effect. The orgenvization of the Legislature was prevented to- day by te intentional absentation of the democratic members. The Governor will recommend the reorganiza- tion of militia in his rocssage.
