WAsHIKGToE, January 10.
Several gentlemen just arrived state that a
general and perfect despotism reigns in
Charleston and that the Seeeders have entire
control Of the telegraph, not permitting des-
patches being received ifthey don't like their
tenor. Great doubt is expressed about the
correctness ofCapt McGowan's despatch to
New York, as our telegraph office has not re-
ceived a single line. Government depatches
can no longer be sent to the South, as they
don't reach their destination. One to an
officer at Pensacola was stopped at Mobile.
As Seward will be Lincoln's Secretary OF
State, great anxiety is felt in regard to what
grounds be will take in his speech. His
friends assert it will be conciliatOry, other
wise ne would not have accepted. Jefferson
Davis speech was very lame; be eulOgized
the stars and stripes seemingly regretting
that he is forced to go out of the Union. He
did not appear to feel very elated at having
ceased to be a citizen of the United States
and becoming one Of Mississippi. The Flor
ida Senators are still in Congress, though
then State has seeded.
Gen. Scott feels great anxiety about the
Star Of the West. Maj. Anderson is entirely
without communication with the Govern
ment, If he has received reinforcements he
wall soos open a communication. The mis-
fortune is that the President is still throwing
obstacles in the way of Secretary Holt and
Gen. Scott He has countermanded several
of their orders. Some OF the conspirators
visit him daily, begging him to dismiss Holt,
whom they represent as q traitor. The
Brooklyn was sent out to intercept the Star
Of the West and order her to return to
Charleston.

Feeling in the Cabinet.

A Washington correspondent describes the
Cabinet meeting after the last letter of the
South Carolina Commissioners TO the Presi-
dent:
"That letter produced great indignation
among the members Of the Cabinet The
President remarked that 'reinforcements'
must now be sent Judge Black said that
after such a letter the Cabinet should be unan-
imous. The President, in his letter, says that
be heard no dissenting voice. So unmistake-
able was bis decision, that the Secretaries Of
War and the Navy proceeded to execute it
without another word from the President,
who thought it highly probable that Major
Anderson would be attacked after the Com
missioners returned home. The misappre-
henEion Of Mr. Thompson appears to be shown
by the recollection Of the four Oldest OF his
colleagues in the Cabinet in regard to what
occurred at that meeting. The President. re-
grets the mistake OF the Secretary, and, not
doubling that it was an honest mistake,
maintains that he was mistaken notwith-

We publish to-day the message Of Presi-
dent Buchanan upon the present crisis, pre-
sented to Congress on Wednesday. This
Message was prepared upon the departure Of
the South Caroltna Commissioners for the
South, after their summary dismissal by the
President The President repeats the de-
claration made in his former Message, that
no State has a right to seocde, and that be
win recognize no such action. He says the
laws must be strictly enforced, and the rev
snues must be collected, in spite OF any and
all opposition. The right TO use the military
and naval for e Of the country to carry out
the laws is perfectly clear. he, however
throws the responsibility upon Congress, urg
ing them to take decided action at once
A" Congress alone, he says, "has power to de-
clare war or to remove grievance that viii
lead to war" He makes lame defense OF
his refusal to send reinforcements to Major
Anderson, while that officer held Fort Moui-
trie, repeating his former fears that it might
lead TO war and bloodshed, an excuse every
body now sees, as most before saw, to be per-
fectly impoteut. The reinforcemsnts were
not sent until South Carolina declared war
and proceeded to prepare for open hostility,
and has now fred the first gun.
The President then urges compromise upon
Congress, as if the South would now accept
any compromise, other than complete sur
render OF all Northern rights, or keep COM
promise even if it was accepted now. A
compromise, at the best would only put OIL
the day OF settlement The President recon-
mends the restoration Of the old Compromise
line Of SO . 80 min, but he knows very vel
that the South would not accept that as an
ltimatlrm, even if the North were willing
which they are not
On the whole the Message will do good
in stirring Congress up to some action. The
document was referred to Especial commite'
offve. Mr.. Howard, Of Michigan, the Chair
man Of the celebrated Kansas Investigating
COMMITTEES, is Chairman.
Mr. Seward is expected to speak upon the
Message to-day.

Our dispatches this morning from Wash
ington and other Southern points, are full Of
interest. Indeed, startling events crowd upon
each other so rapidly that each days tele-
graph contains matter enough for a volume
Of ordinary history. afsr
North Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana forts
are taken, vessels seized, and the fighting
programme laid down. All hope Of cOmpro-
mise or peaceable settlement is passed, and
civil war is at hand. 2 The infatuatiOn Of the
rebellious States has brought on the contest,
and terrible as is the alternative, the treason
and open war which has broken out at Charles
ton must be met by force of arms
At this writing We are an1iously
awaiting intelligence Of the arrival
of the Brooklyn at Charleston, war
being anticipated when she appears of
the harbor. Having the sinews of war on
board, she win not be obliged to pat back to
sea, but viii return the fire. There is no
doubt but what she win be fred upon. The
disunionists are playing a desperate game
and will push it to the bitter end. Mean
while we need not urge our readers to scan
carefully our full daily telegraphic reports.

The National Democrat Of yesterday charges
that the report in the LEADER Of the Hon.
A. G. Riddle at the John Brown meeting at
the Melodeon year ago, was furnished by
Mr. Riddle himself a statement which is
entirely untrue. The report was made by
our own reporter, a TACT which does not affect
its truthfulness, but removes the handle the
Democrat would like to make on that score.

CivIl war Inevitable.

The events that have rapidly transpired
for the last ninety days, have eliminated
in war against the Union by the act Of a
mob Of slaveholding amalgamstionists Of
that earthly hen, South Carolina, and the
seizure Of the several Forts and Arsenals by
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and LOuisi-
ana. The General Government and the Cot
ton States are now openly arrayed against
each other. The first gun has been fred by
therebsls. The integrity Of our great Union
is il imminent danger. The North has been
betrayed by the traitors, who have controlled
our imbeciie President, by transferring all
the arms and munitions Of war South, leaY-
ing the North almost entirely depleted, send
ing the Home Squadron Of to distant points,
and ksaping the main body of the army in
the distant Territories Of Utah and Oregon,
thus leaving the Government almost defense
less,
Honor and self respect forbid that the
North should under such a state Of
things make what are called com
promises, but which are more pro
perly. concessions. There is only one re-
source lef, and that is to prepare to aid the
Government in putting down the Rebellion
and save unscathed the Union, cost l0hat IT
sOiH. This raid Of South Carolina must be
checked, and the leaders dealt with accord
ing to The Constitution; that is, tried for
Treason and hung The South hung John
Brown for treason, let her traitors be treated
in tnessme way.
The time for arming has arrived. Let
military companies, be formed all over the
country. Let the North Be prepared for the
70 emergency, An ounce Of prevention is
worth pound of cure. If, unfortunately
civil war is inaugurated, and we do not see
how it is to be avoided, the North must sup
port the Government with such an over
whelming force a. to crush the rebellion in
ninety days after the 4th Of March. 1t is
cheaper and more humane to make prepar-
ations on a scale Of sufficient magnitude to
restore order TO the country in as short time
as possible, than to let an intestine war exist
for perhaps period Of years
