The Presidents Message.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.
The Speaker laid before the House a
message from the President.
He says he holds the same opinions on
the dangers Of the Union expressed by
him IN his former message. Abiding to
the condition Of things, he says there is no
other alternative but to collect the revenue
and protect the public property as far as is
practicable under existing laws. His du-
ty is to execute and not to make the laws.
He recommends Congress to devote
themselves to prompt action with view to
peace, and throws the whole responsibility
on that body. Referring to Maj or Ander-
son, he says that officer could not before
he left Fort Moultrie, have held the post
fifty or sixty hours. "., -:
Mr.. Howard, Of Michigan, moved that
the message be referred te a special COM
mlttee of five, with instructions to enquire
whether any executive officers, Of the Uni
ted States have been or are now treating
or holding communication with any person
or persons for the transfer of forts or any
other property whether any demand for
their surrender has been made, and by
whom, and what answer has been given
whether any officer or officers have entered
into any pledge not to send any reinforce
ments Of troops to the harbor Of Charles

THE DESERTER.
AN ANECDOTE OF NAPOLEON THE FIRST.

In the year 1909, Pierre Pitois was
sergeant in the twelfth regiment of the
line, then quartered in Strasburg. He
was native of that half savage. half civil
lied part of Burgundy known under the
name of Morvan, and his comrades ever
spoke Of him as "toug h customer" AL
ways the first and last to fire, he had the
reputation of liking but two things in the
world-the smell of powder and the whist
ling of bullets.
Now, one day our friend Pierre took it
into his head to address letter to his
colonel, in which he applied for leave of
absence to go and sec his aged mother,
who was dangerously i'll. He added that
his father being seventy weight years Of age
and suffering under paralytic affection,
could not be of any use in nurse-tending
the poor woman, and he pledged himself
to return as soon as the health Of his moth
or should be restored
The colonel's reply to Pierre's applica-
ton was, "that as the regiment might at
any moment be ordered to take the field,
no leave CT absence could be obtained"
Pierre Pitois submitted. A fortnight
elapsed, and then second letter was re-
ceived by the colonel, in which Pierre in
formed him that his mother had died with

From Washington.
WASHINGTON, January 8.

WASHINGTON, january 5.
Rumors OF an attack on the steamer
Star Of the West, which sailed from New
York with troops, in the neighbo,hood of
Charleston, and of the cannnouading of
that city by Major Anderson, are rife ev-
erywhere, creating intense excitement,
though nobody can give any authority for
the report.
Secretary Thompsop's conditional resig-
ignation has been rendered more than a
week. The President pledged himself, 50
Thompson charges, that no troops should
be sent Southwark without his knowledge.
Mr.. Thompson knew nothing Of the sail
ing Of the Star of the West until last eve
ming.
1t is currently reported that Mr.. Thomp-
son and the President had high words in
consequence Of which the President limited
that he had better resign.
It is understood here that the Sub
Treasurer Of Charleston had communicated
the fact to the Government, that the South
Carolina authorities will not allow him to
pay any drafts, or even to pay Anderson
men. All the cash in the vaults is to be
retained there. =" .,
It is now accorded that all the seeding
states have drawn their quota Of arms for
1861 in advance. The order from South
Carolina was filled only few days ago.
Correspondence Of the Tribune. -
Private letters from the best sources in
Charleston, dated on Saturday, express the
gravest distrust as to events, and fear that
blood may flow at any moment. Many of
the families are moving from the city un-
der these apprehensions. The most sagac-
ious leaders have lost their power, and are
at the mercy Of an excited populace.
Charles Anderson, has just returned
from Charleston. After the first interview
with his brother, the surveillance of the
authorities was not continued and he had
free communication with him. Major
Anderson considers his position entirely
secure, and is fairly supplied with provis-
ions and other necessaries, except coal and
wood for military purposes, in case that
extremitles should be- reached. lie is in
good spirits, and hopes that reason will op-
crate upon the misguided people before
long.
MIR. Holt transacts his important bust
ness at General SCOTS office as a precau-
ton against the leakage in the war depart
ment, and in consequence of distinct in
timation given by Mr.. Miles of the South
Carolina delegation to the President, that

THE VISION OF WASHINGTON

The following description is relate'
by Anthony Sherman, gentleman O
ninety years. who had it from the ols
General himself. The darkest period o
the American revolution was in the yea
1777. when Washington. after dreadf fu
revcrses, retired to Valley Forge. to eu
camp during tho winter. Often did
see the tears of distress course down til,
checks Of the loved commander, wher
he reflected on the extreme suf'erings O
his brave soldiers. Washington had the
habit of praying to God for help and
prosperity. The assistance of Jehovah
alone he knew we'll would avail. A
certain day Washington spent by him
self alone in his chamber. when he
came be looked unusually pallid. Then
he related as follows:
GAS I sat this afternoon writing, and
my mind was deeply weighed down with
trouble, l discovered opposite me a most
beautiful female form. I was much
surprised. for I had given most persmp-
tory orders not to be disturbed by any
one. l could not, on the moment, fnd
words to inquire Of this unlocked for

without receiving an answer. She only

up. but the staring Of my mysterious
visitor made me displeased with her. 1
attempted again to address her, but my
tongue was tied. A certain unknown,
irresistible power overpow-
cred me. I was unable to do anything
more than to stare at the apparition.-
By degrees the room became filed with
q remarkable light; the image herself
became luminous and bright. I now
had the feeling Of dying person. I
could not think, reflect or move. I am
only conscious of this fact that looked
sternly on the vision. Here heard the
voice saying, Son of the Republic look
and learn, at the same time the figure

How 10 Stop Duelling.

The Duke of Brissac adopted strau %
but successful device in putting down
duelling in his regiment. He pretended
to countenance the proceeding, but re-
quested that his officers, before fighting,
which they did almost every day, would
report the circumstance to him. They
agreed to this joyfully. Next day two
made their appearance. The Duke in
