WASHINGTON. Jan. 7th.
Com. Shurbreck, who has just arrived
from Charleston. states that the greatest
anxiety prevails there. enhanced by every
fresh report of movements by the north. 1t
is believed that q revolution of feeling
against the disunionists must soon take
place, unless Georgia speedily adopts a
course to infuse new lite into the secession
movement, and give the already favoring
people new accession Of courage. Coz
respondence between the South Carolina
commissioners and p resident Buchanan ap-
pears in the Charleston papers of Saturday
last. having been submitted 20 the commit
tee in secret session. 1t consists of three
letters. The first is dated December 90,
from the commissioners to the President in
which they demand as a preliminary to all
negotiations disapproval by the President
Of the act Of Maj. Anderson. in seizing Ft.
Sumpter. The second is dated Dec. 30th.
from the President. in which. while admit
ting Maj. Anderson acted without express
orders. he yet refuses to repudiAte the act.
The third letter is dated January LIST. in
which the commissioners attempt to refute
the allegation of the presidents letter in
which hs iusti6es Maj. Anderson's conduct
This last letter. tho President returned to
the commissiouers with the following in
