cessionists have been great excitement over the
news which has leaked out from the capital to-day
concerning the requsltlOn of Major Anderson com
mander at Fort Moutrie, for more men and ammu-
milton, and the action of the Cabinet thereupon It
is stated, authority which l think is not TO be
disputed, that Maj. Anderson has decided upOn the
necessity Of achievements to his command and his
supplies, because when the secession ordinance shall
have been passed, there is no security that Char
lesion mob will not make desperate onslaught upon
the nearest Federal forces.
The question of acceding 70 Maj Anlerson's re-
quest has been up before the Cabinet, and it was
decided MOTTO grant it. Secretary Cass il is assert
ed strongly urged the propriey and necessity Of the
opposite coruse, whether Major Anderson was JUS
titled in making the requisitOn or not. IL justified
his request should be granted at once If not then
be Is incompetent to fill his place, and it should be
supplied BY some one who would not make demand

The Southern MaRifeSto-Io our Constituents -
The argument is exhausted. All hope Of relief in
the Union through the agency of the Committee and
Congressional legislation or constitutional amend
ments is eXtingulshsd. and hope the South will
not be deceived by the appearance or preteuce of
guarantees. The Republicans are resolute in their
purpose to grant nothing that viii or ought to satisfy
the South. In our judgment. the honor. the safety
and independence of the Southern people are to be
found only in a Southern COnfederacy the inevita-
bic resutof State secession; that the sole and prima
~ aim of each slaveholding State ought TO be its
speedy and and absolute separation from an unna
tural and hostile Union.
