Major Ander.on,s movements.

On Wednesday rumors were rife in this city that
Major Hutto Paymaster of the United States Ar
nv had made arrangements with the agent of the
New York steamers for the transport of the garrison
lt Fort Sumter TO New York. en- the steamship Co
lumbis, to leave Saturday.
Reliable information shows that 1t was only con-
lecture. Major Hutto visited the Fort on Tuesday
for the purpose of paying the troops the amounts
lue them for regular service The assertion made
in various papers that the terms of enlistment of
swenty-sx of the men had nearly expired, is also
mistake. Some two three OF the privates will
have served their time out in August next, and one
in December. Beyond this their terms of enlistment
are for two and three years longer.
Major Anderson, in conversation with MAYOR
Hutto stated that he was in daily expectation of
receivinA by mail tine orders for evacuation, and
hoped Il Yet them that day. His supply of fuel and
proyisio18was nearly exhausted, SO much so that if
not speedily relieved they would be compelled to
burn some of the gun carriages for fuel
Major Anderson expressed a preference for the
Charleston and New York line of steamers to that
Of public vessel for the embarkaton of the troops,
the former having better accommodations. He
stated that the fort would be given up to the South
Carolina authorities after examination by an
authorized officer, and receipt for the property

WASHINGTON, March % -SESATE.-Mr. Hale
offered resolution to elect Sergesnt>at arms
Doorkeepsr and Assistant. Laid over.
Powell called up his resolution for paying Clerks
Of Committees Of this session the usual ecmpensa-
ton for sixty days
Trumbull opposed it, considering it gratuity;
and reform Wss needed it had better begin here.
The resolution ives rejected.
Douglass resolution came up.
Baysrd concluded his speech.
Howe, of Wis, opposed Douglas resolution be-
csHse it was wholly unnecessary and he Was not
convinced Of the wisdom Of giving TO the country
the intelligence which il demanded We have nov
an Administration which hes proclaimed an earnest
desire and fixed purpose TO maintain the authority
Of the United States, and not the authority Of
this or thai section merely, by peaceful means,
il peaceful means will suffice. This was
the settled purpose, as he understood it, Of the
Administration. Was it not purpose which de
manded the best energies of every one? 1t seemed
to him that the Senator from Illinois was furnishing
aid to the enemies. His (HOwe's) party had done
nothing create the feversh apprehension alluded
to by the Senator from Illinois. They had no pur-
pose to trample on the rights of any individual in
any portion of the country. He objected to Douglas
proposition to amend the Constitution on the ground
that it would be approved By only portion of the
people, while the Constitution, to be satisfactory,
must receive the assent of the whole country. We
have such Constitution now, why should not the
people be satisfied with it.
He gave way to Executive session. Adjourned.
