GENERAL SCOTT.

On the 29th Of last October, General Scott
addressed letter to the President and Secre-
tary of War, in which he said:
"From knowledge Of our Southern popu.
lation it is my solemn conviction that there is
some danger of an early act Of rashness pre-.
liminary to secession, viz the seizure of some
or oil Of the following posts Forts Jackson and
St. Philip, on the Mississippi, below New Or.
leans, both without garrisons; Fort Morgan, be-
low Mobile, without a garrison Forts Pickens
and McRee, Pensacola harbor with an insult
cient garrison for one; Fort Pulaski, below Sa
vannah, without a garrison; Forts Moultrie and
Sumter, Charleston harbor, the former with an
insufficient garrison, and the latter without any
aud Fort Monroe, Hampton roads, without q
sufficient garrison. In my opinion, all these
works should be Immediately SO garrisoned as
to make any attempt to take any one Of them,
by surprise or coup de main, ridiculous"

TRANSFERS OF U. s. ARMS.

Mr.. Stanton, chairman of the House Commit

War Department, in answer to letter on that
subject, a report Of Colonel Craig, Of the Ord.
nance Bureau, dated the 18th instant, of which
the following is the substance:
On the seth of December, 1859, an order
was received from the War Department, direct
ing the transfer of lis, 900 arms from the Spring
field armory, and the Watertown and Watervlet
arsenals, to different arsenals at the South. Or.
ders were given in obedience to these instruc.
tions, on the 3Oth of January, 1860, and the
arms were removed during the past spring,
from and to the places, as follows, viz:
From Springfield armory, $500 percuss ion
muskets, calibre 60, and 10000 muskets altered
irom flint to percussion, calibre 60.

TREASON.

1t is said in New York that James E. Kerri.
gan, member of Congress elect from that city,
is to be arrested for treason. The military or.
ganization which he has been getting up, if cor.
rectly described few weeks ago by the press
there, is unquestionably reasonable.
In this connection, we express the hope that
William B. Reed, Josiah Randall, and others,
concerned in the disunion outbreak at Phila.
delphia on the 18th, which we noticed yester,
day, should be carefully watched.
These gentlemen take the ground that, if the
South secede, they, instead of sustaining the
Government, will get up Convention to dis
cuss the treason ,ble question whether they will
90 with the South, or set up an Independent
State of their own, or remain in the Union, and
with decided intimation of preference for
one of the two first propositions. If this is no
giving aid and comfort to traitors, it is 80 neal
it, that that step may be looked for next. Lei

British ship, attempting to get to sea from that
harbor, where the buoys have been destroyed
and the lights extinguished, got on shore, and
will be lost. As a seaport, Charleston has ceased
to exist, and free trade is inaugurated by the

This is not unexpected, but he throws out
