600 copies of the report Of the Select Com
mittee Of fifteen, on the Pacific Railroad as
to enable the public and the press to consider
and discuss the subject during the recess of
Congress, upon the meeting of which body
in December next, the bill was to he called
up and disposed of. The report is at last
printed, but it is not likely to reach the pub
lie eye, Possibly one or two members of
the committee may take a sufficient interest
in it to order copy. Copies have been ap-
piled for at the House, on the part of the
Press, and have been refused, 1t is to be
obtained only through members Of Congress,
who are engaged in other matters. aad espe-
ciaIly in the engrossng affairs of the Presi-
Dental and other elections. SO this docu-
ment goes to enlarge the pile of useless rub
hish which is accumulated every session for
the benefit of the Congress printers. Mr.
Curtis would have done well to make some
provision for the distribution Of the report,
ifhe wished it, as he stated, to go to the
public.

TREASON AT THE CAPIrAL.-The New
York Evening Post says that from proof;
in possession of the editor of that paper it is
forced to the conviction that Jas. Buchanan
President of the United States is untaithful
! to the Union, and indirectly, if not directly,
/ conniving at the reasonable projects of the
+ crackbrains of South Carolina.
/ The editor of the Post feels authorized to
state as facts
l. That the garrison at Fort Moultrie has
been allowed to run down to 62 men, in
Guiding sick, cooks, prisoners, &c, leaving,
with officers, but 80 men to defend the post.
2. That even these few men are insult
Gciently supplied with ammunition and pro-
visions.
3. That Col. Gardiner, an openly declared
secessionist, is the commanding officer.
4. That Fort Sumpter and Castle Pinck-
ney have no garrison though containing
large quantities of arms and pnblic prop
petty.
.. That an officer of the State Department
declared in September, openly, to the peo-
pie of Charleston who questioned him on
the subject, that Mr.. Buchanan would not
attempt coercion in case South Carolina
should secede, but would withdraw the
troops from Fort MouItrie, declare Charles
ton no longer port OF entry, and station
revenue cutter on the mouth of the harbor
to blockade it--a notorously useless act, as
the first storm would drive her into the
harbor under the forts, to become an easy
capture.
6. That, although constant representa-
tons have been made of the delenseless
state of the forts, and the urgent need of
more men, large body of recruits were a
few days since sent to Texas, leaving the
pots here destitute Of men to meet any
sudden emergency.
Z. That, under the pretense of guarding
any attack by a foreign fleet, in case our in
reference in Mexico should cause a collision
with any European power, repairs of Fort
Moultrie have been begun, which required
part Of the land side to be torn down, and
the guns on that side to be dismounted, so
that there is no obstacle to prevent q mob
from entering the fort in half a dozen diff
ferent places.
8. The accumulation of 80 900 stand of
arms and large quantities of ammunition in
the arsenal in the city of Charleston, with
out any guard whatever over them-an
open invitation to the disaffected to help
themselves.
