The correspondent Of the Times, under
date Washiugton eth, says:
aIn the Senate the reading Of the mes
sage created great AUttering on the se-
cession side. The allusion in il 10 the gall
liant Mbior Anderson was greeted with
hisses and applause. The attempt Of Sem
ator Davis, Of Mississippi, TO get the letter
Of the South Carolina Commissioners 70 the
President placed on the Senate record, vas
admirably prevented by Mr., King, who
denounced heir acts as worse treason than
that Of Arnold and Burr. The failure Of
senator Davis proposal 10 read them is re-
garded as an endorsement Of the President
By the Senate. The appointment Of spe-
eial Committee in the House 70 investigate
he statements and the whole subject is
regarded as an endorsement Of the message
in that branch. The Chairman, Mr.. How
ard. is o staunch Republican. The whole
message received almost universal com
mendation from the Union men and cen
sure and reputation from the Secession
lists. The latter regard the declaration. Of
the intention to defend and hold the Fed
eral property as a declaration Of war and

construct a Railroad in the District Of Co
lumhia, but in Virginia hence the question
OF State Sovereignty arises. Eighteen North

10 secede, while the other fifteen hold the
contrary doctrine.
Mr.. Stokes enquined whether Mr.. De-
Iarnet made the statement that Tennessee

A special Washington dispatch to the

now in discharge of his duties.
Gen. Dix is reported to have been offered

says that any attempt 70 send United
States troops into Charleston HarboJ 70 re-
inforoe the Fort would be regarded as an
act Of hostility, and in conclusion adds
that any attempt TO reinforce the troops
at Fort Sumpter or 10 re-take and resume
possession Of the Fort within the waters Of
South Carolina which Maj. Anderson aban-
doued after spiking the cannon or doing
other damages cannot be regarded by
the authorities Of the State as indicative of
any other purpose than the coercion of the
State blythe armed force of the Govern
ment. Special agents, therefore, have been
| off the bar 10 warn vessels armed or un-
armed, having troops to reinforce Fort
| Sumpter aboard, not to enter the Harbor.-
! Special ordes have been given TO Command
ers at the Forts not FIRE on such vessels till
/ q shot across their bows should warn them
Of the prohibition Of the State Under these
circumstances the star of the West this
morning attempted 10 enter the HarboT
with troops after having been notified she
could not enter, and consequently she was
fired into. Theact is perfectly justified by
me. In regard to your threat about vessels
in the Harbor, It is only, necessary for me
to say you alens must be the judge of your
responsibility. Your position in the Har
Dor has been tolerated by the authorities Of
the State, and while the act of which you
complain is in perfect consistency with the
rights and duty Of the State il is not per
ceived how far the conduct you propose tc
adopt can find parallel in the history Of
any country, or be reconciled with any
other purpose than that Of your Govern
ment imposing on the State the condition Of
an acquired province, s a5ms
