OPERATIONS OF THE BESIEGERS.
Formidable Works Behind The Fort


WASHINGTON. Wednesday, March 20, 1861.
notwithstanding the confident statements cent
out from here that the order for Mayor Ander-
son's withdrawal had been Issued yesterday IL
can be asserted broadly and distinctly 'n't SUCH
/. not the fact. The Presidents has taken no
action in the matter since the written opihions
Of tie Cabinet were submitted to him on satur-
day last. Several meetings have been held, but
this subject was not considered or discussed III
my manner or form, and it remains precisely IN
the condition it did several days ago.
TIE War Department receives daily COMMUNE
cations from Major Anderson, which recently re-
fer more to the hostile preparations OF tho De-
soging force thon TO bis oNn command. lhese
are easily discovered with the glass, and are re-
garded as more formidable than any heretofore
attempted.
Much activity Is exhibited on all tie works IN
the rear of Fort Sumter, which has been coneid-
cred its weakest point, aud tho batteries no"
erected, under protection furnished by engineer
ing skill, show determination and strength oil
rc,ources which would render any collision
serious on both sdes.
IL Mai Andcrsons supply Of fuel and light s
exhausted, as supposed here from the detailed
statement furnished the Secretary of War FORT
night ago, he would be comparatively disabled
from working his guns in two very important
respects, in case a night attack was made, and
hot shot was 90 BE- used.
1t il supposod the President will announce his
determination TO tho Cabinet tomorrow, though
he may postpone it still further.
