RATTLEsNAKE Den IN WAsHINGToN.--The S.
Carolina Commissioners having discharged
their duty by presenting to the President tbeil
ultimatum demanding the withdrawal of An
derson and his men from Fort Sumter, are
passing their time pleasantly in the exchange OF
social courtesies with their numerous friends.
Carriages are constantly going to and return
ing from their quarters, in Franklin avenue
loaded with the designing and the curious. A
number of Northern Democrats of the Pro-
Slavery stamp are constant visitors at this de-
lghtful rendezvous, and the assurances they
give in case of open hostilities, the people OF
the North will be divided, and the sscoercion-
ists'' of the Free States will have their hands
full at home, does much to quiet the appre-
tensions of those who are not so busily engag-
ed in their work of treason that they do not find
time to notice the -muttering thunder OF the
approaching storm from the North and West.

acted, and rode over them they have built

that he is fatally implicated, and his character
wrecked forever. Time and further develop
ments will show the justice or injustice of
these suspicious, which are founded, for the
most part, upon the cloud which the Willett's
Point. Fort Smelling, and Lime Point affairs
have left on the character of Mr.. Floyd.
The moment the intelligence of the defalca-
tion reached the President, to whom it was
communicated by Secretary Thompson, the
Cabinet was convened at the Department OF
the Interior, and an examination entered upon
to ascertain its extent. The District Att orney
for this district was also present, and the de-
faulting clerk also. The President and Cabi-
net remained together until very late hour
on Saturday night, and the amount of the mis-
sing bonds was found to be $870,000.
The Presidents friends are indignant, of
course, in view of the denouenlent, that Secre-
tary Floyd took the responsibility of giving
the acceptances which have brought such heavy
misfortunes upon the Administration.
Another dispatch says: 1t appears that the
Secretary of War has accepted the drafts of
Russell, Major & Co., for services yet to be
performed. As they could raise no money
on these acceptances, which were illegal, as
the Secretary of War had no right TO pay for
services yet to be done, these gentlemen pro-
cured, through the assistance of Washing
ton banker, eight hundred and seventy thous-
and dollars worth Of Indian bonds from Bal
ley, in order to secure the acceptances of Mr..
Floyd. The coupons due on the lst of Janu-
airy are said to have been cut off in order to
prevent detection. The records in the bureau
have either been purloined or destroyed. The
bonds are mostly of the States of North Car
olina, Missouri, and Tennessee. Chief Clerk
Kelly, OF the Interior Department, left this
afternoon for New York, for the purpose of
ascertaining where the bonds have been dis
posed of. Bailey is a relative OF Martin, of
Lecompton notorety. He was sent some time
ago to California, to examine the accounts Of
Thomas Henley, charged with being defaul
ter. Recently he signed a circular stating
that as native of South Carolina, he would
hold no Office under Mr.. Lincoln.
A defalcation of two million dollars in an
other department is spoken of this evening
This is terrible blow upon the Admnistra-
tion and the Seceders, but more will follow.

HORRIBLE AFFArR.-A most frightful trage-
dy took place at Temperanceville, Allegheny
county, Pa, on the 2Sth Dec. German ply
scian named Breitlauch, having married a
second time, did not live on the most friendly
terms with his wife, in consequence of the
latter thinking that her husband was partial to
the children of his first wife-two sons-and
did not treat the two daughters he had by his
present one well perhaps he should have
done. On the day named, Breitlauch went in
to the room where his wife was, and hurting
his foot on a spool which the youngest girl
had left on the floor, he became enraged and
slapped the child in the face. A quarrel en-
sued, when he repaired to his office for his
gun, with which he returned, pointed it at his
wife, and ordered her up stairs. She did not
obey at first, but finding him fatally bent on
mischief, she started 10 leave the room, and
had nearly reached the stairs when he fired
the ball entering the side of her chest and pro-
ducing almost instant death. He then pro-
cured another gun in his office, returned to the
room where his wife was weltering in her
blood, and after gazing at the sad spectacle a
few moments, put the muzzle to his mouth,
fired and killed himself. These facts were e.
licited at the examination by coroner's jury.
