The INTERIOR OF THE FLOATING BATTERY. "A New
York merchant, who while 10 Charleston, was shown
through the Floating Battery, furnishes the Times with
the following description of its interior:
Accompanied by one of the Governors Aids and met
by Lieut. Hamilton the entrance, crawled through
the gun holes and stepped the main deck. The first
impression is that OF immense solidy. The outer or
gun side is covered with six plates ofirOntwo OF them
of the railroad pattern, placed horizontally, and the
other four bod one over the other in the strongest
manner and running vertically. The wall ofthe gun side
full four feet thick, constructed of that peculiar Pal
meto wood full of fbrous material that 64pounders
cannot pierce them. The main deck is wide and roomy
In nineteen open chambers the port side of the deck
we found profuson Of shot-34pounders, while just
beyond them is an immense pile of sandbags, which
protect overbaDgng root under which is to the placed
the hospital This also protects the magazines three in
number,) under which is the hole proper There are
six entrances to the hold which will contain, if neces
sary over three hundred men. When it is finally moor
ed near Sumter there will be four heavy wedges driven
down by species of ram, which will hold it FAST and
prevent any swayng around by the tide. Although
not verSed in military matters, should say that its I'M
mense strength of Palmetto logs and iron combined
with bombproof roof all, will make it perfectly
mpervious to anything that Major Anderson bring
to bear against it. While thus secure, the inventor
claims that he easily effect breach in the weak side
of the fort,

The ONLY MODE OF AVOIDING WAR-We have all

modes of AVOIDING The intelligent Washington

forced to admit it. That avorite organ of the Adolf

"If by popular vote the Border States unequivoca-

WASHINGTON March l2.-So far as ascertained the
Cabinet has determined to adhere to its original posi-

from Fort Sumter before the expiration of ten or twelve
days The Administration is disposed to let things re-

Major Anderson to evacuate, he will be removed to
Fort Monroe, Virginia. This is the real state of the
case.-Special Tel. Corr, Char Courier
