Correspondence BotW esa the. Prezsdent snd
CammlaaldhFrE.

Corrcspondenee BotWesn tha President snd
OsmmlssldherE.
y The whole country is interested in the ofi-
cist correspondence between the South Caro-
lima Commissioners and President Buchanan,
from which We quote below.
The Commissioners write the President on
Dec. 2eth, that they aTe fully empowered by
their Government to make treaties, &C Their
Government could at any time within the
last sixty days have taken possession of the
forts in Charleston Aarbof, bu. had trusted
70 the Presidents pledges that the military
status Of affairs should be unchanged. Since
their arrival in Washington the officers in
command had dismantled one fort and oocu-
pied another. Undl those circumstances
were explained, .they must suspend an neg 2
tia.ions, and in the meantime they urged the
immediate Withdrawal Of all troops from
Charleston harbor, adding ,ff DltI-.1
They are a standing menace which renders
negotiations Impossible, aud as our recent
experience shows, threaten speedily TO bring
to a bloody issue questions which ought to
be settled with temperance and Judgment.
The President replies on the sOth that be
cannot determine the relations between the
Government and South Carolina, nor recog-
nize the independence Of that State He
could therefore only treat with them as pri-
vate gentlemen,
ia reference to the pledge spoken Of, he
thus recapitulates the fact; "0n Saturday,
the sth of December, four Of the Represent
atives from South Carolina called upon me
and requested an interview. We had an
earnest conversation on the subject Of these
forts, and the best means Of preventing
collision between the parties for the purpose
Of sparing an ef1usion Of blood. Suggested,
for prudential reasons, that it would be oest
to put in writing what they said to me YER
ballys They did so. Accordingly on Mon
day Morning, the 10th inst7 three Of them
presented to me paper signed BY all the
Representatives from South Carolina, with a
single exception, of which the following is a
copy: s.i
"To bis Excelleney James Buchanan,
President Of the United States.
ain compliance with our statement to you
yesterday, we now express to you our shong
convictions, that neither the constituted au-
thorities, nor any body Of the people ofSOuth
Carolina, will attack 81 molest the United
States forts in the hsrbor Of Charleston pre-
yiously to the action OF The, Convention, and
We hope and believe, not until an offer mas
been made through an accredited representa-
tive, to negotiate for al amieable arrange
ment Of all matters between the State and
the Federal Government provided that no
endorsements shall be sent into these forts,
and their relative military status shall remain
ss ct present. (Signed,)

Never wasu Presidential Cabinet 50 disor-
ganized and broken to fragments IS that Of
the present Administration. Within The last
six weeks, Cobb, Cass, Floyd, Thompson and
Black have one after the other thrown up
Sheir commissions and retired nom PIesiden-
tial oounsels. Cas- shook of the executive
dust irom his feet when he saw no prospect
Of patriotic and Union sentiments prevailing;
the Others left none too soon for the gOOdJof
the country, being in open eOllusiOn with the
traitorous seceders. Holt and Toueey are
left; the former firm for the Union and able
in his executive ability, the latter calf and

It is easy to talk secession and disuniOn
the Southern N. C.'s have done it foF5many
years, and so long as it pleased them and hurt
nobody, they were allowed to 60 on Even
Toombs might any time within the last dozen
years, have mounted the stand upon Monu-
ment Square in this cit, and threatened to dis
solvethe Union, if We did not let him bring
his slaves here with him, and keep them here
through the summer months. We are not
quite so hot-headed as they Of the South, and
we are willing to let all men enjoy the free
dom Of speech. But if Toombs should bring
with him halfa hundred Observation-Disclosures,
who should openly plot the seizure ofthe Post
Office and Custom House, and should appoint
. night in which to attack them, and lay
kegs Of powder under and about them
for the express purpose OF blowing them to
destruction, we should hint 70 them that they
were going too fast and too far, and shOuld be
likely to have a fullsquad Of police and mill

This we would do, spite Of the old fogys who
might advise US to wait until they bad actual

Affairs at Washington.
Special dispatch to the N. Y. Trihuno.
MR.. L1NooLN,s oAn1NET


The following gentlemen have been in
vited to seats in the Cabinet: Messrs. Sew
ard, Cameron, Bates, Smith and Welles.-
The invitation to Mr. Cameron indicates the
Treasury or War Department, but without
definitely determining which. It is quite
probable that the two Southern appointments
will be kept open until Mr.. Lincoln reaches
this city, where he is expected some time in
February, as events in the meantime may
have an important bearing upon the selec-
tions. Although the foregoing cast is aetu-
ally made up, it is not irrevOcably so, and
may be reconstructed to meet necessities
which Mr.. Lincoln could not have fOreseen.
General Taylor materially altered the original
fofm of his Cabinet after conferring with his
friends here. General jackson invited Mr..
Baldwin to a seat, and found it necessary to
omit him afterward, which he compensated
for, with a seat on the Supreme Bench
Other examples are well known.
There is no doubt but Mr.. Lincoln was
strongly inclined to offer Mr.. Chase q position.
Mr. Banks was never considered in the cate
CORY of chances. .
