ing is the highly important and in
teresting correspondence between
Secretary Floyd and President
Buchanan, on the subject of the re-
cent events at Charleston:
WAR DEPARTMENT,
Dec. 29th, 1860.
SIR-On the morning of the 9th
inst, read the following paper to
you in the presence of the Cabinet
in the Council Chamber of the Exc
cutive Mansion. Sir 1t is evident
now from the action of the COM
mander of Fort Moultrie, that the
solemn pledges of the government
have been violated by Major Ander-
son. In my judgement but one
remedy is now left us by which to
vindicate our honor and prevent
civil war, 1t is in vain now to
hope for confidence from the people
of South Carolina in any further
pledges as to the action Of the Mill
tary. One remedy is left which is
to u,thdra,c the garrison from the
Harbor of Charleston, altogether.
| hope the President will allow me
to make that order at once, this or
der in my judgement can alone pre-
vent bloodshed and civil war.
l have considered the honor of
the Administration pledged to main
tain the troops in the position they
occupied, for such had been the as
surance given to gentlemen of South
Carolina, who had the right tospeak
for her. South Carolina, on the 9TH
er hand, gave reciprocal pledges
that no force should be brought by
them against the troops, or against
the property of the United States !;
the object of both parties in these
reciprocal pledges was to prevent a
collision and effusion of blood, in
hopes that some means might be
found for a peaceful accommodation
of existing troubles. The two hous-
es of Congress have both raised
committees looking to that object.
Thus affairs stood, until the action
of Major Anderson, taken unfortu-
natcly while the commissioners were
on their way to the capital, on a
peaceful mission, looking to the
avoidance of bloodshed. This has
complicated matters in the exciting
manner our refusal or even delay to
place matters back as they stood
under our agreement, invites COLI
sion, and must inevitably inaugur-
ate civil war. / cannot consent to
be the agent of such calamity.
| deeply regret that l feel myself
under the necessity of rendering to
you my resignation as Secretary of
War, because | can no longer hold
it, under my conviction of patriot
ism nor with honor, subjected as l
am to a violation of solemn pledges
and plighted faith. With the high
est personal regard, am most truly
yours.
Signed JOHN B. FLOYD.
To His Excellency, the President
of the United States.
THE PRESIDENTS REPLY.
WASHINGTON, Dee. 81. 1860.
My DEAR SIR have received
and accepted your resignation of the
Office of Secretary of War, and not
wishing to impose on you the task
of performing its mere routine Of
duties which Won have so kindly
offered 10 do. | have authorizes
Postmaster General Holt to admiH-
lister The affairs of tie Department
until Your Successor shall be APP
pointed. Yours Respectfully.

Letter From Secretary Floyd.

cent events at Charleston:
Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1861-10-29

to believe that such sacrifice of cur troops
was part Of anybody's plan.
Gen. Stone had intended 10 cross over into
Virginia, perform some brilliant exploits
against the rebels, and occupy Leesburg His
plan failed because he had not provided ade-
Quate means Of transport across the river
Two OF three old seows or canal boats, and
couple OF skiffs were not equal TO the OCCASION
The more we think of it the more it becomes
to us matter of establishment that capable
aud enterprising commander, rs Gen. Stone
was reputcd To be, Sho Id attempt, in the face
of an active enemy, 10 put an army across
tile Potomac and sustain it there with no
better means of transport, Pontoon bridges
across the river at The two ferries, or single
one al Edwards Ferry, would have made the
plan entirely successful. Such bridges would
have taken reinforcements to the men who
crossed at Harrison's Island, and made 1t I'M
possible for the enemy to embarrass the
movement very much. And, without bridges,
the crossing on scows might have been a
complete success, if a proper number OF them
had been at hand with arrangements for
putting them across the river eXpeditlously.
This great and disastrous deficiency in the
means of transport is very distinctly recognized
BY the writer of that article in the Intelligencer,
from which we have quoted. He speaks OF II
twice, once in paragraph above quoted, and
again where, in describing the attempted re-
treat to Harrison Island, he says -
Here commences the saddes feature Of the
fight. The means Of transport tcere inadequate
eUen avhen the crossing acaS regular aid IN order,
and failed utterly at the rush that tool place.
Yes, "the means of transport were made
quate when the crossing was regular and in
order;'' but why was the attempt made with
such inadequate means? There had been
time enough 10 provide hundred times over
any means for crossing the river that the most
iudicious commander could have deemed nee
essary In our opinion, Gen. Stone has learned
lesson and will be wiser next time lie has
| been deemed a capable officer and great con-
fidence has been felt in his leadership, When
an account OF the means the two or three
old scows,- with which he attempted to
cross, first reached us, it seemed incredible
There may be explanations that will put an
other face on the matter. When they appear
we shall most gladly publish them. We have
shared in that high estimate of Gen. Stones
capacity which we found so prevalent on the
Potomac, and we still believe it will be his
fortune to do excellent service i'll the present
war 1t is nevertheless too plain for contra
dcton that he failed this time, and that Gen.
MeClellans order recalling the troops to the
Maryland side, was a consequence and not
cause of that failure.

a CLEAR CASE OF FRAUD-It is related by
one of the dispatches from the battle field at
Edwards Ferry, that when our brave boys
were tryin- to make. their way from the trap
into which they had been foolishly led back
across the Potomac, poor negro with a small
skitf employed himself the whole night in fer
rying over the iugitiyes. lie succeeded in this
way III saving the lives, or in securing the es.
cape, at least, of no less than one hundred per.
sons. His master all the while was probably
on the Virginia shore, trying to send MIME
ball into tile hearts OF our men.
Now, as the Service" OF this fellow did not
belong to himself, but his master, what right
had he to lend his labor to our suffering sol.
diels? Was lie not deirauding his owner ?
Will not some Of our generals insist upon ode
liveiing him up" to be properly punished for
so audacious Il use Of bis muscles? OF
course, no one viii be 80 insane as 10 propose
that he should be emancpated Tor this timely
rescue Of SO many loyal troops. That would
be abolitionism; that would be interfering
with the sacred institution; that would be
contessing that negroes are men and entitled
to decent respect.

LIEUT.. VAssALL.--Among the officers of the
fifteenth regiment reported as probably killed
at Edwards Ferry is LieIt Bernard b. Vassall
Of Oxford, twenty five years. He was second
lieutenant of company E. We can but hope
the painful rumor of his death may be without
good foundation, as in his death we must
mourn the untimely fall of friend sincerely
esteemed for his amiable qualities and praise
WORTH endeavors in life. Mr.. Vassall was
native of Oxford, but has been a resident of
Washington city, where his parents reside,
and was once in business in North Carolina,
where he held the Office of postmaster at the
place Of his residence. His kind disposition and
excellent character gave him many friends
and no enemies, and his early loss, however
nobly the sacrifice of his life was rendered, will
bring poignant sorrow to all whose fortune it
was, like ours, to know him well.
