From Washington.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Mr. Keitt photographed the
Southern Senators to retain their seats TO defend
Objectionable legislation, and prevent the confrma-
ton of Mcintyre.
Mr. Wigfan publicly declares that the Palmetto
flag will be able to enter Charleston harbor until
every gun of Fort Moultrie is dismOunted
Senator Pearce has yielded to outside pressure
and united in the request to convene the Maryland
Legislature.
Gov Hicks still resists.
Much remark is excited by the transfer of $780,
900 from the New York Sub-Treasury to this city
without apparent cause.
Reliable authority says that the Star of the West
will be sent to Charleston again. unless the Presi-
dent changes his mind, with ample naval force, to
engage the batteries, while she runs in and lands
her men and troops.
1t is animated that the Brooklyn and Harriet
Lane will accompany her in the next effort
1t is generally credited that Gen. Dix will be Sec
rotary of the Interior. The President is ndisposed
to appoint any Southern men.
