The TREASON OF TwIGGs.-D Desratchss d
were received at the War Department which
established the truth of the atrocious treason
of General Twiggs. There is no room left
for doubt that he has been long engaged in
the conspiracy which has placed in the
hands Of the enemies of the liberties of the
nation the forts aud munitions Of war at the
South. He ordered tbe United States troops
to march out of their barracks, and with
great inconvenience TO themselves and dis
comfort, to encamp outside the town, while
the State militia, who have fattensd at the
Government expense, marched in.
To the homer of the United States officers
and soldiers, lthe chief traitor excepted, be
it said they refused to fraternize with the
traitors, and marched out to the tune of
yankee Doodle" with the stars and stripes
Hc ating over them, and with hearty cheers
for their flag and the Union.

Rifle company Of the j. S. troops, with the
Marine Band, marched to the White House
on Saturday afternoon to bid good bye to the
President, who stood in front of his door as
the roops marched by. A token of recogs
milton was given by the military, but not a
word was spoken by any one. it seeming
more like funeral than anything else. A
crowd had gathered expectiDga a speech, but
Mr., Buchanan had nothing to say, and his
favorite Irishman pushed the crowd one side,
way was made, and His Excellency passed
in and the lock was turned. Ne one seemed
to have word Of cheer for the old President
and as the key was turned in the lock, an cid
man who had been standing by the pillar,
watching the whole movement, exclaimed,
humh," and With a look of disgust he
turned his back upon the White House.
