WASHINGTON Jan. g.
DEPARTURE HOME OF THE 5. C. COMMISSION
Frs.
This has been another exciting day in Wash
ington. About II O'Clock it was announced
that the Sonth Carolina Commiss ioners had do
parted for homo early in the morning and upon
inquiry, the report proved true. It seems that
yesterday they sent in communication to rhe
President. in which they referred to the fact
that ne had made engagements with Sout h Car
lima which he had not fulfilled. Mr.. Buchanan
in short time returned the documents or the
ground, as learn that it was not consistent
with his personal honor to notice it, as it COM
tanned reflections upon his conduct. The Com
missloners, having no further business in
Washington, then lef. Mr.. Prescott, their
Secretary, has not yet departed, az stated in the
kilograms of the Associated Press, but will 20
in the morning.
SEIZURE OF THE GEORGIA FORTS AND ARSE
NAILS BY THE sECEssIoNIsTs.
About l p M, to day Messrs. Toombs Iver-
son and Mason were seen to enter the House
in an excited manner, and the former handed
to Mr., Pryor, Mr.. Garnett and others, dis
patch which they read with visible emotion.-
A crowd of members gathered around, and it
was evident that some important intelligence
had been received. On inquiry, found that
the Georgia Senators had received a dispatch
stating that all the forts and arsenals of the
United States in Georgia were in the hands of
of the State troops, and that the election for
members of the Convention had resulted in tho
choice of a large majority of straight out Seces-
81 onists This intelligence was joyfully receiv-
ed by the Secession leaders and their sympa-
thizers.
DEFEAT OF THE GEORGIA COOPERATION
lists.
1t seems that arrangements were made a
month ago, for the seizure of the arsenal near
Augusta, where very small force of United
States troops has been stationed. The district
formerly represented by A. II. Stephens, which
inclndes the city of Augusta, was expected to
go largely for the co operationists, but in this
calculation the latter were di sappontcd, and in
this way the State has been lost to them.
RUMoRED ATTACK ON FORT sUMPTER,
The city was again excited this afternoon by
a rumor which was extensively circulated, that
the South Carolinians had attacked Fort Stump.
ter, and that warm fight was going on. NY
Information, however leads me to believe that
the report sat least premature. Some persons
here, however, knowingly assert that in less
than two months Fort Sumpter will be in the
hands of So nth Carolina The South Carroll
mans will have from one to two thousand men
busily engaged in throwing up works of an ex
tensive character, and the guns of Fort Moul>
trie have been remounted and put in proper
order. Hot work may certainly be expected.
DESIGNS OF TAE sEcEssIoN1sTs IN THE SOUTH.
1t is asserted that the Secessionists had ar
ran ed for the seizure of all the forts and arse
nails in the South during this week. A person
claiming to be well informed told me to day,
that Florida would undoubtedly put herself out
of the Union and seize the important works at
Key West and other points on the coast.
THE CHARLESTON CoLLEcrORsHP.
Tbs Senate did not go into Executive session
to day upon the appointment of Mcintyre as
Collector of Charleston, and it is believed that
the Senate, as at present constituted, will not
confirm him.
1t is surmised that the Harriet Lane is de,
tanned with the view of taking Mr.. Mcintyre
to Charleston, and that he will collect the reve-
nue. oft the bar. A dispatch from one of the
Charleston editors, received to day, says that
the appointment was received there with the
greatest indifference. The same dispatch reit-
crates the statement that the Srcessionists had
carried Georgia 1t was impossible, however,
that at the time the dispatch was sent, more
than half the State could have been beard from.
The vote in those counties reported, might,
however, have been SO decisive as to leave no
doubt of the result.
THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
1t is not known when the expected message
of Mr.. Buchanan will be sent in, and 1t is now
possible that none will be communicated.
