The latest Pony Express news is Of n highly in
terestIng and exciting character. The demand of Mai.
Anderson, the Commander of Fort Noultrie, for rein
f~orcements IN order to enable him TO hold that posi-
ton against a possible attack Of the people Of Charles
ton, aud the reported disagreement of the President
and his Secretary OF State. Mr.. Cass, on the question
Of acceding to that demand-which was followed by
Mr. CIss' resignatiou-are events that must have
produced a profound sensation throughout the
country. Ii appears, by the telegraphic reports that
the venerable Secretary urged the President to send
eJwn men and arms TO Charleston to enable the Com
nanfer Of Fort MOultrie TO successfully resist any
attempt that might be made against that fertilization.
Mr.. Buchanan refused TO follow this advice, thinking
apparently that such action would be regarded Nv
South Carolina in the light Of a menace. and have a
tendency to precipitate a collision, which would rem
der all hope of a compromise or amicable settlement
impossible. The President has the strongest assur-
ances from SOu,h Carolina that no attempt will be
made upon tne Fort if matters are left for the present
rs they now are.
