The N. Y, special corresrondsnce from
Washington under date of Dec 18th says:
Secsssionisls and anti secessonists have
been in great excitement over the news
which have leaked out from tho capitol
to day, concerning the requisition Of Maj
Anderson, the commander a, Fort Moul-
trie, for more m.n and ammunition, and the
action Of the Cabinet thereupon. IL is
stated on authority which ! think 10 not to
be disputed, that Maj. Anderson has deci
ded upon the necessity Of reinforcement:
to his command and his supplies, because.
when the secession ordinance is passed
there is no security that Charleston mob
will not make desperate attempt upon
the Federal possessions.
The question of accord ny to Maj. An.
dersons request has been up before the
Cabinet, and it was decided not TO grant
it. Secretary Cass, it is asserted strongly
urged the proprie.y and necessity of the
opposite course. whether Mai. Anderson
was ustihabIe in making the requis:,ion
or not, If jus,itabe, his reques. should
be granted at once, IT no., then he is in
competent to fiji his place ami it shou!d
be supplied by some one who would not
make Il demand in troublous times So
long as be is in authority the means of
supporting his authority. should be trusted

more men or ammunition to TT. MnuI.r!e,
and there the matter stands.
