TIE rLo7 AGAINST TIE CAPITAL
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81 1851.
There is no doubt about another difference
Of opinion occurring between the President
and Gen. Scott. Gen. Scott Is altogether too
fast for the Executive. He Is desfrous Of con
centratfng large force in this city, and
promptly reinforcing the Southern forts; but
the President has adopted the .festina tente
policy, and has countermanded several ordcrk
given By Gen. Scott.
The General is also in favor Of inviting the
Seventh regiment Of New York to come here
but on this proposition the President has put
his veto. Gen. Scott has told Mr. Buchanan
that he has not enong gh troops here to defend
it against mob Of our own citizens.
The arrangement Of Gen. Scott to preserve
the peace Of the capital is anything but en-.
courasing to the Secessionists. Gov. Wise and

FORT su1TER's SUPPLIES.
Notwithstanding the repeated assurances
given the President and mnny others by Col
Hayne, the Special Envoy OF Gov. Pickens,
that the garrison at Fort Sumter was regularly
supplied with provisions, and had free com
mnnieation with Charleston, Maj. Andcrzon's
official correspondence explicitly contrudlcts
these declarations. Gov. Pickens did propose
to furnish him from the Stale Comnlissarlat,
but Maj Anderson necessarily declined that
offer, as one calculated, If not intended. to
compromise him by establishing relations
which le was forbidden by his position to re-
cognfze. Supposing thst the authorities really
intended to relax the surveillance which had
been previously practiced, he wrote to the con-
tractor who supplied his command when ut
Fort Monltrie, requesting that provisions
should be sent as formerly. No answer was
received, and Maj. Anderson has not obtained
single pound OF fresh beef or anything else
from tho city. His garrison is subsisting upon
tue same hard and satt rations as heretofore,
which are Diminishing at a rate which must
demand replenishment before long. Colonel
Hnyne was doubtless misled in making these
representations, which arc wholly Inconsistent
with facts that must have been known to Gov,
Pickens when they were communicated. to
him. Maj. Anderson expresses himself salts:
tied with the manner in which his correspond.
ence is received. The authorities Offered to
give his messenger acccss to the Post Office,
but fearing difficulty. he preferred the safer
mode which is now adopted, aud By mems ol
which he maintains daily communication With
the War Department. He denies all the re-
ports alleging disaffection or mutiny among
his force, and also the recent statement that Q
boat from Fort Sumter had been fired Into, ae
wholly unfounded. His men arc devoted to
him, and faithful to the Union.
TIE MACEDONIAN AND BaooKIYS.
The Macedonian and Brooklyn will be in 0
position, near- Fort Pickens, to sweep the

held BY the Reyolutlonists. In view Of the
approaching Conference here on Feb. 4, it was
determined, with the appreciation Of General
Scott, not to lnnd the troops they carried, un
less IN attack was meaaced on Fort Pickens
At the inst signal Of such demonstration, thu
orders are to reinforce Col Stemmcr's garTl

are to be landed Immediately. No assault IL
