New York Times CorrespondenceI
WASHINGTON, January l. Commodore
Shubrick, who has just arrived from Charles
ton, states that the greatest anxiety and
terror prevails there, enhanced by every
fresh report of movements at the North. 1t
is believed that q revolution of feeling against
the Disunionists must soon take place, unless
Georgia soon adopts a course to infuse new
life into the Secession movement, and give
the already wayering people a new accession
of courage.
The correspondence between the South
Carolina Commissioners and President Bu-
chanan appears in the Charleston papers OF
Saturday last, having been submitted to the
| Convention in secret session the previous day
1t consists of three letters. The first, dated
| December 20, from the Commissioners to the
| President, in which they demand, as a pre-
liminary to all negotiations, a disapproval by
| the President of the act of Major Anderson
/ IN SelLlDB r. OTb CutDpl6fs ne SeCOnu, OhLeC
| December 80, is from the President, in which
while admitting that Major Anderson acted
without express orders, he yet refuses to re
pudiate the act. And the third, dated Jan
uary l, in which the Commissioners at
tempted to refute the allegation of the Presi
dents letter, in which he justiies Major An
derson's conduct
This last letter the President returned t.
| the Commissioners, with the following in
dorsemeDt on the back: "This paper, pre-
sented to the President, is of such characte
| that he declines to receive it,"
The first movement of Mr.. Holt, of tn
War Department, was to reinstate Col
Young as Inspector of Ordnance-a gentle
man of acknowledged ability, removed b,
Floyd for political reasons.
Numbers of Floyd's set of appointment
will be removed for more trusty men. Til
| 81, 100000 bonds offered by the Trustees t
find security for Russell will not be accepted
He is still in Jail.
The Senate in Executive Session confrme
Mr.. Walsh as Secretary of Legation to Pari
and a number of unimportant postmasters.
The nomination of Vim. MclDtyre, as Col
lector at Charleston, went to the Commute
of Finance. No one asked immediate actio
on it.
The delegation from Mississippi called O.
Secretary Thompson, yesterday, and desire
to know his position in the Cabinet, and hi
views on the subject of enforcement. II
promptly pledged himself to resign if
! single soldier is ordered to South Carolin
with his knowledge. If done without sue
knowledge, he will resign when the fact
ascertained, on two grounds first, becau;
it would be a violation of good faith, an
second, because of the act itself. This WI
considered satisfactory.
