THE PITTSBURG GUNS.

The new Secretary of War, in letter Jan
uary l2) to members of the Pennsylvania del
egation. in relation to his having countermauded
Floyds traitorous order for the removal from
Pittsburg Of large number of heavy guns down
the Mississippi for the use Of the secessionists,
under pretence of arming forts at Galveston and
Ship Island, says:
"On investigation, it was satisfactorily ascer-
tanned that the Notifications in question were
not at all in condition to receive their arma.
ment nor will they probably be for several yeas
letter of General Totten, in charge Of the En-.
gineer department, which accompanies this
communication.
"The heavy guns referred to, amounting to
one hundred and twenty -four in number, were
not manufactured for the forts to which they
had been ordered to be forwarded, nor had they
been purchased by any special appropriation
for the erecting or arming of these forts"
The letter of General Totten, referred to, is
subjoined:
ENGINEER DEPARTMENT,
Washington, Jan. 8, 1861.
SIR: l have the honor to state, in answer to
your inquiries as to the state of preparation for
the armament of the Notifications at Galveston
(Texas) and Ship Island (Missssippi)-
First. The fort at Galveston, for which an
appropriation of 1000 has been made, has
no further been begun than by the erection of
temporary buildings or quarters for mechanics
and laborers, of storehouses, wharf, &C., and the
making of other indispensable preparations.
So far as we know here, the ground has as yet
hardly been broken for the foundations of the
fort ITSELF We may, at any rate, say confident
ty that the foundations of the walls have not
been begun. The estimate for the work is
S4l3,00O and, according to the rate of appro
priation of late years for similar works, we
cannot expect full readiness for its armament
in less than five years.
Second. At the fort on Ship Island the
working force is now engaged in the construc
ton of the embrasures Of the lower tier, o.
which the officer in change hoped to have fou,
covered in by the lst instant, the others being
in various states of forwardness. Not a plat
form has been laid, and some months will bt
required to mount the first tier of guns, ever
on temporary platforms, and another appropria
tion of at least $S5, 900 must be made and ap
piled before the work can be got ready for it
entire armament. At present. not gun coult
be mounted.
have the honor TO be, very respectfully
your obedient servant,

and Mr.. Tappan. His speech, we understand,
was vigorous and we'll received, although as to
some of its points, Republican opinion is di-

CONGRESS YESTERDAY.

The business Of the FIRST part of the session
of the Senate was miscellaneous, the most i'm.
portant thing being the reference of the Nor

was further considered, and was pending when
the Senate adjourned.
In the House, Mr.. Etheridge made patriotic
speech, declaring himself for the best compro'
mise he could get but all compromise failing,
then for the Union at all events.
Mr.. Lovejoy followed, in one Of his earnest
and characteristic speeches. He was for the
Chicago platform, for no compromises, and for
the Union. But he disclaimed, with emphasis
the slightest desire to meddle with slavery in
the States, or with any of the rights of the slave
States.

from the traitors lately in the Cabinet down.
