The news OF the capture of Fort Moutrie and Castle
Pnckney reached the administration while in Cabinet
meeting to-day
The Commissioners from South Carolina had q confer
ence with tho President.
The Commissioners demand that the troops be with
drawn Immediately this shall be their last interview
and they will return 10 South Carolina and prepare for
the worst.
The above statement obtained from be-
eved 10 be reliable but there of verifying
its absolute credibility.
The Cabinet continued in session nearly hours and
it is certain that it adjourned until tomorrow without
coming conclusion the affairs Of South Carolina be-
fore them
The act of Major Anderson is generally commended,
comparatively weak and might provoke the assault Of
mob, the mpregnabe defence Of Fort Sumpter placed
beyond such contingency could be reduced only by
regular and protracted SIEGE thus avoiding imme-
date collision.
Another statement, which seems to be truthful, is
that the South Carolina Commissioners in view OF the
alleged stpuatons the part OF the President that tho
garisons Of Charleston harbor should augmented
the military xats Of the posts changed, requested
movement was in consequence Of any order issued by
him or from the War Department. Tho President re-
sponded negatively, and ssed that Major Anderson had
acted on his own responsibility. The Commissioners
then requested the President Major Anderson
to Fort Moultre; but this point there no conc-
sion when the Cabinet adjourned.
