BUCHANAN AND HIS CABINET.

The course of Buchanan's administration
for the past three years, forces us to one Of
two conclusions either that the President
is a traitor to his country or hopeless i'm
beetle. He is either determined to have,
what he may regard as the honor, Of being
the last President of the United States, or
else is bereft of reason, and under the com
plete control of the disunion members Of bis
Cabinet. From the time be repudiated his
instructions TO Gov. Walker, and, SO far as
WAS in his power, made his Kansas policy
test Of Democracy, every act Of bis admin.
istration has apparently been with a view to
bring about the present deplorable state Of
affairs. The secession from the Democratic
National Convention, at Charleston and Bal
timore, was the work of avowed disunion-
lists, who were desirous of electing Lincoln
in order to give the cotton States an excuse
for seeding from the Union. The malig-
nant hate which Buchanan bears against
Douglas might account for The part he took
in dsorganizing the Democracy; but that
cannot account for the subsequent acts of
the administration in faVoring the dsunion-
lists. AS soon as it became evident that
Lincoln would be elected, large quantities
Of government arms were sent to Charles
ton, with the knowledge and consent Of the
President, in order that they might fall into
the hands of the South Carolina militia
whenever the authorities of that State Deem
cd it advisable to take them. The members
Of the Cabinet, who control the acts of the
President, had no other purpose, otherwise
force sufficient to have protected the gov
ernment property would have been sent to
Charleston. in accordance with the recon-
mendations Of Gen. Scott Secretary Cass,
and other union-loving men, who still had
the ear of the President.
BY the assistance of the administration
The disunionists have thus far carried out
their plans. They sucdeeded in dividing the
Democratic party, and by that means eec-
led Lincoln, and the flag Of rebellion hav-
ing been raised in South Carolina, the re-
bols, through the connivance and assistance
Of members of the Cabinet, are supplied with
arms aud ammunition from the government
arsenals
Not long since, Secretary Floyd gave out
notice Of his determination to turn over to
bis successor all the government property
10 his possession. This was undoubtedly
done to allay suspicion, and deceive the
public as to his real designs That he is a
traitor, aud using his position to supply the
disunionists with material aid, there can no
longer be doubt; and during the remain
der of Buchanan's term we may expect that
the disunionists will continue to receive ev-
cry assistance which the executive depart
ment OF the government can furnish.

LEGTsLATlvE.-The Assembly met on
Monday morning, and proceeded TO ballot
for Speaker First ballot: Conness, SO /;
Showalter, %; Fargo, II. Mr.. Wood, of
Plumas was then nominated and received
80 votes, to 26 for Conness. A dispatch
from Sacramento, OF Monday evening, says
il was the impression that COnness would
he withdrawn to-day, and Lipincott subsIi-
tgted. Whether or not this was done we
have not learned, but dispatch received
ibis afternoon, states that no Speaker has

A MIDDLE coNFEDERACY.

At the latest dates from the East grand
scheme was being agitated for the forma-
ton Of Middle COnfederacy, to be com
posed Of the Middle, Western and border
slave States. A dispatch from ST. Louis,
dated December 28th says in relation to the
movement
Tn case dsunion becomes inevitable, there is
a growing indication that the Northern and
Western States will move for separate Con-
federation.
The address, proposing Convention Of the
border States'at Baltimore meets general ap-
proval from the representatives therefrom. IL
has already received numerous signatures. To-
night there was to have been caucus OF the
conservative members for consultation The
invitation is addressed to members from hen-
lucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia,
Maryland, Delaware, Arkansas, New jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Alabama, Iowa and MIS-
souri,.
There is evidently some mistake in this
dispatch. Alabama is not "border State"
and there would be no reason for including
Ohio and Iowa in the new confederacy
scheme and leaving out Indiana. Most
likely the latter Stale was included in the
programme instead of Alabama, aud Illinois
was probably left out in order to avoid all
question as to Lincoln being the President
of the new cOnfederacy.
The movement may have been started
from good motives, and from real belief
on the part of the movers that the people Of
the Middle and Western States could get
along peaceably together. Such, however,
would not be the case. The people Of this
country must have somebody to fight, and a
division of the States into two or more Con-
federacies, while it might separate the abo-
lltionists and fre-eaters, would set them to
fighting those nearer at home.

Forts MOuItrie, sumpter and Castle
Pfnekney.

The Charleston correspondent of the New
York Tribune, in late letter, gives de-
scription Of the three forts at the mouth oil
Charleston MouItrie, Castle Pinck-
ney. and Sumpter. Fort Moultrie is on
Sulliyan's Island, which is principally with
in the corporate limits of the city of Charles
ton. The island is separated from the
mainland by a narrow channel, which some
times at low tide can be forded. The fort
was well provided with everything but men;
its guns were of the largest and best de-
scrption and nearly all the recent improve
ments in explosives have been introduced,
10 which the men were well drilled.
Castle Pinckney is also in the harbor, and
wholly surrounded by water. 1t mounts q
large number OF heavy guns, and has re-
Gently been very much strengthened.
The government has lately been at heavy
expense in strengthening these forts, appa-
rently for the very purpose of turning them
over in as good condition as possible to the
seceders. They lacked nothing but men to
render them imprcgnable to any force that
South Carolina could bring against them.
But the President having refused to furnish
a sufficient garrison, Major Anderson was
compelled 70 abandon them to the Charles
ton rabble, in order to retain Fort Sumpter,
which is regarded as the most important po-
sition. Before leaving the forts, however,
Major Anderson caused the gun carriages
to be burned, aud the guns were spiked,
thus rendering them Of no immediate use to
the secedcrs. For this act, the President
will probably cause Major Anderson to be
removed from the command.
OF Fort Sumpter, the correspondent says:
Fort Sumpter rises out of the water further
down the harbor, about three and half miles
from the city, nearly abreast Of, and not over
one mile from Moultrie. II not only commands
both the other forts but, it is believed, the city
could be effectually sheled from it. 1t is thor
oughly appointed with all the larger description
Of guns. Outwardly it resembles the round,
yellow fort on Governors Island though larger.
1t Is thoroughly bomb proof, and believed to be
impregnable to anything likely to be broughttO
bear against it. Though out at sea, it has a
fine well Of fresh water. For some time past,
upwards Of 100 men-most Of them mechanics
have been actively engaged in placing the
guns in order. The effect of Capt. Forbes eff
forts are plainly visible, even to the profession
al eye. There have heretofore been no more
soldiers than were necessary to act rs keepers.
Moderately well garrisoned Sumpter would
prove an ugly customer to Charleston and its
surroundings, should it ever come to that. One
would suppose that it would not be difficult for
men, when driven out of Moultrie, if supplied
with boats, to pull over to Sumpter, and in a
very brief space Of time make it hot work for
the captors in Moultrie.

MYsTERIoUs-A fire was discovered on
Sunday evening last, in the house recently
occupied by Horace Smith and family, at
Auburn. The people burst open the door
and extinguished the fire, which seemed to
have originated in trunk or chest, the
contents OF which were almost entirely con-
sumed, and other damage done. The fam
lily Of Mr.. Smith bad vacated the house
about the I'd inst. and there was no sign of
any one having since entered the building
the doors all being fastened apparently az
they had been left when the family remOv-
ed from the house.

Too LARGE.-The San Francisco Spirit
of the Times says the fire department of that
city is entirely too large. AT the last cleo
ton, the entire force numbered nine hun
dred and ffty-eight men, of which not more
