Aud still again, that ‘‘ afterwards Secretary Holt and myself endegvored, in vain, to obtain a ship-of-war for the pur. poseyand were finally obliged to employ the ger steamer Star of the West.”’ Will it be believed that the substitution of the Star of the West for the powerful war steamer Brooklyn, of which he now complains, war by the advice of General Seott himself? Ihave never heard this doubted unti) | read the statoment. At the interview already referred to between the Gene- Fal and myeelf, on the evening of Monday, the Slat of De- cember, I suggested to him that, although I had not re- ceived the South Carolina Commissioners in their official capacity, but merely as private gentiemen, yet it might be considered an improper act to send the Brooklyn with re- inforcements to Fort Sumter until I had received an an- swer from them to my letter of the preceding day; that the delay could not continue more than forty-eight hours, He promptly concurred in this suggestion as gen- tlemanly and proper. and the orders were not tranemi io the Brooklyn on that evening- My anticipations were correct ; for on the morning of the 2¢ of January I received their insolent note,and sent it back to them. In the meantime, however, the General had become convinced, by the representations of a geptieman whom I forbear to ame, that the better plan, as the Secretaries of War aud the Navy iaformed me, to secure secrecy and snecese and reach the fort, would be to send a fast side-whee! mer- cantile steamer frem New York with the reinforcement. Accordingly the Star of the West was selected for this duty. The substitution of this mercantile steamer for the Brooklyn, which would have been able to defend herself in case of attack, wac reluctantly yielded by me to the high military judgment of General Scott. The change of ba imme required a brief space of time; but the Star of the West left New York for Charles- tonon the evening of the Sth of January. On the very day, however, when this ill-fated steamer left New York, a telegram was despatched by General Scott to Colonel Scott to countermand her departure; but it did not reach its destination until after ehe had gone to sea. The reason for this cowntermand shail be stated in the language of Secretary Holt, to be found in a letter addressed by him to Mr. Thompson, the late Secretary of the Interior, on the 5th March, 1861, and published in the Nationa! Intetli- gencer. Mr. Holt saye:— The countermand spoken of (by Mr. Thompson) was not more cordially sanctioned by the President than it was 0; Genera) Scott and myself; not because of any dissen the order on the part of the President, but because o: received that day from Major Anderson, stating, that he regarded himself secure in. lila’ positi more from intelligence wht of January, 186) arm might attemnp portant infor Bo present when sent ments, and that se] of commerce, but countermand was despatched by tele- but nse] had sailed a short ime efore it reached the officer (Colonel Scott) to whom it was addressed A statement of these facts, ewtablished by dates, conclusively that the Presftcnt was not oniy willitg, Dot anxious, in the briefest period to reinforce Fort Sumter. On the 4th January, the day before the departure of the Star of the West from New York, as General Scott in his statement admite, succor was sent to Fort Taylor, Ke West, aod to Fort Jefferson, Tortugas Isiand, which hea these points in time for their security, He never t speculates op the consequences which might have followed had the reinforcements not reached their des nation in due time, and even expresses the extraordinary opinivn that . “the rebels m. divert to the statement that the expe- Unger Captain Ward, ‘ef three or four small steamers belouging to the Coast Survey,” wae kept back by something like a truce or armistice (made bero), em- bracing Gaarieston and Pensacola harbore, agreed upon between the late President and certain principal weceders of South Gare Florida, ianigiana, &e.

But it will be recollected that no time intervened between ag copy of the truce at it would bave been possible to get atari ae Sumter, Botb events ocour- o violation of public faith. This was what writers on prub- lic law denominate ‘‘a partial truce, under which hogtili- ties are suspended only in certain places, as between a town and the army besieging it.” It is possible that the President, under the lawe of war, might have annulled this truce upon due notice to the opposite party; but neither Gen. Scott nor any other person ever sogceeet this expedient. This would have been to cast a reflection on Major Anderson, who, beyond question, acted from the highest and purest motives. Did Gen. Scott ever pro) to violate this truce during its existence? - If he did J am not now, and never was, aware of the fact. Indeed | think he would have been one of the last men in the world to propose such a measure. Col. Hayne did not deliver the letter which he bore frem Governor Pickens, demanding the surrender of the fort, to the President until the 3ist of January. The documents containing the reasons for this worryiug delay Were communicated to Congresa in a special message of the 8th of Febrnary, to which I refer the reader. On the 5th of February the Secretary of War, under the instruc- tions of the President, gave a peremptory refueal to this demand, in on able and comprehensive letter, reviewing the whole subject, explaining and justifying the coudnet of the President throughout. Its concluding sentence is both eloquent and emphatic:— If (says Mr. Holt), with all the mouitip exist of the President's aoxiety for nesin. proofs which and of the ear. with which he has pursued it, the authorities of lives of wa that State shall assault Fort Somter and imperil. th the handful of brave and loyal men shut up within and thus plunge our country into the horrors of then upon them and those they represent must sponsibillt ‘The truce was then ended, and General Scott is incor- rect in stating ‘‘that it Jasted to the end of that adminis- tration.”” ‘An expedition was quieiy fitted out at New York, un- der the supervieion of General Scott, to be ready for any contingency. He arranged its details, and regarded the reinforcements thus provided for as suflicient. This was Teady to sail for Fort Sumter on five hours’ notice. It is of this expedition that General Scott thus speaks: 1 that time, when thia (the t nce) had passed away Secre* taAts'foienwa Pouces: spisin Ward: of the navy. and my. self, with the knowledge of the President, settled ‘upon the employrpent, under the captain, of three or four sieamers belonging to the Coas: Survey, but Le was kept back by the truce. A strange inconsistency. The truce had expired with Mr. Hoit’s letter to Colonel Hayne on the Sth of Febru- ary, and General Scott in his statement aye, “It would have been easy to reinforce this fort down to about the 12th of February.”? Why, then, did not the reinforce- ments proceed? This was simply because of communiea- tions from Major Anderson. It was moet fortunate that they did not proceed; because the three or four small steamers which were to bear them wouid never have reached the fort, aud in the attempt must have been cap- tured or destroyed. The vast inadequacy of the force rovided to accompligh the ebject was demonstrated by information received from Major Anderson at the War Department on the last day of the administration. 4 1 purposely forbear at present to say more on this eub- ject, lest 1 might, however unintentionally, do- injustice to one or more of the parties concerned, in consequence of the brevity required by the nature of this communica- tion, The facts relating to it, with the priate no- companiments, have been fully presented in a historical review, prepared a year ago, which will ere long be pub- lighed. This review contains a sketch of the four last at the re months of my administration. It is impartial: at least such is my honest conviction. That it hag not yet been published bas arisen solely from an sion, nO longer entertained, that sometling therein might be un- justly perverted into an interference with the'government in @ vigorous prosecution of the war for the matntenance of the constitution aud the restoration of the Union, which was far, very far, from my intention. fter a careful retrospect, 1 can solemnly deciare be- fore God and my country that I cannot reproach myself with any act of commission or omission since the existing troubles commenced.

President desires that you ascertain the truth of this fact with aa little delay as possible, since, if it be true, the commander of the Adirondack has ‘committed an inexcusable violation of the law of nations, - for which acknowledgment and reparation ought to be romptly made. To guard against any such occurrences ‘ter, the President desires that you at once give no- Uce to all commanders of American vesse's-of-war that this government adheres to, recognizes and insists upon the principle that the maritime jurisdiction of every na- tion covers a full marine league from the coast, and that acts of hostihty or of authority within a marine league of any foreign country by any naval officer of the United States are strictly forbidden, and will bring upon such officer the displeasure of his government.

TS FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, Saturpay, Nov. 1—6 P. M. Money was apparently quite active to-day at six per cent, though,good borrowers got all they want- ed with ease at five. But so many stocks have fallen into weak hands of late, and lenders are so cau- tious at the present time, that the market had every appearance of stringency, and as much as one-eighth of one per cent was paid to carry stocks over till Monday. Gold ruled at about 129% a 180 to-day, without much activity. Exchange was quoted 143 a 44. The stock market opened firmly this morning, but at the close of the first board prices gave way, and everything was lower. The natural tendency of the market, from causes which we have explained, is toward lower. prices, at all events till after election. But each particular stock has its clique of supporters, who, by taking all the lote that come into the street, maintain its price. Whether they can con- tinue this enterprise until speculation revives and the general public and the great speculators deem it safe to renew their purchases, remains to be seen. Atthe first board to-day Pacific Mail rose 14%, New York Central 4, Erie %, Brie preferred 34, Hudson %, Michigan Central %{, Southern old %, guaranteed ¥4, Illinois %, Galena %%4, Rock Island 4%. At the close of the first board Hudson fell off 134, Eric °4, Rock Island and other ac- tive shares in proportion, Governments were very firm; the coupon sixes rose 44 per cent. The operation of the Internal Revenue law will proba- bly put these sixes tc their old premium, 15 a 20 per cent, before meng weeks elapse, and Mr. Chase willthen get all the soney he necds by conver- sions. At the secous board the market was lower and weak at the decline. Speculation seems to have been checked for the present, At the close the prices wer ps 2 schra Pathfinder, US6's,rog,’81.104 210434 Harlem pref.. 491¢ 0 40: oe 104% 010434 Reading. .
