WASHINGTON, March 40

The two indictments ogsinst Gov. Floyd
in the Court have been dismissed as untena.
BILE. The first was for conspirOcyto defraud
the Government. The District Attorney
said, in open court, that there was no evil
dence to sustain the charge and with the
esvs of the Court, entered nolle proseaui.
The second was for malfensance In office in
issuing acceptances. The act OF 1857 pro-
hibits prosecution where the party impli-
Gated has testified before a committee OF
Congress, touching the matter charged
This has been judiciously decided to be not
a privilege Of the witness, but mandate oi
the law, and the case would have to come to
an abrupt termination on the fact appearing
| in the course of the trial. On the fact be-
| ing submitted in advance to the Court by
counsel on both sides, the Indictment was
ordered to be quashed as it could not have
been maintained.
The Commissioners from the Confederate
States will wait leisurely for the action O.
the Government. Great efforts are being
made by distinguished gentlemen to effect I
peaceful solution of the Southern complica
tions. The government at Montgomery
have no apprehension of collision at For
Pickens. II is said that the accounts pub
lished are gross exaggerations OF the tru
condition of affairs Of that quarter. Th
Commissioners have Information that tn
best feeling exists between the Federal au
thorities and the officers in command o! t.
confederate troops, and no danger Of CO..

Traitor Shot I'm For. sumter.

The Charleston Correspondent OF the
Tribune, OF date March l2th, relates the fol
10 wing us an illustration Of Msjor Auderson's 9
loyslty 10 his country, and his promptitude
10 dealing with traitors: "There is en- Irish
rufiin who loafs upon the wharves, who has,
as an ironical tribute to his extreme ugli-
ness, been dubbed Handsome Charlie,
This vagabond is to Charleston what Billy
Mulligan was to New York-as notorious
scamp as ever went unhung. The brother
in. law of Charley was soldier attached to
the garrison at Fort Sumpter, and was often
sent by Mior Anderson, with others for
provisions. These rwo Williams, brothers in
crime as we'll as 10 'law,' had, it seems,
been plotting treason against the Govern.
ment of the United Stoes. Oae Of their
plans was to smuggle in files for the pur.
pose Of spiking the guns of Fort Sumter
How they expected to accomplish this ras-
cality 10 another question; but certain 1t Il
that Gles were introduced into the fortress
concealed in loaves Of Bread. The flel
and the traitor were both discovered. A
messenger was dispatched to Charleston for
a priest. The'cause assigned for requiring
his presence was the premature confinement.
and consequent dangers of q soldiers wife.
The real need for him was to shrive dast
ardly wretch for the next world, who was
utterly unfit to live 10 this. The bro,her.in.
law Of Handsome Charley was shot; a fit
ting doom for traitoF." a4g.ts

Our special ,dvices from Pensacola are
up 10 the 1lth inst, at which time the ut
m ct z3al was being displayed by the Con.
federate Site troops in erecting new Bate
ries of important points, for the more se-
curely investing Fort Pickens. Gen. Brax.
tor Bragg. Of the regular trmy Of the Con-
fedrate States, assumed the command Of the
troops ard forts near Pensacola on the llth,
and forthwith Issued his order forbidding the
United States vessels ut anchor outside the
harb0r receiving any further supplies OF wa
ter or provisions from the shore; at the
same time prohibiting the supplying Of Fort
Pickpns with troops or munitions, but sim
ply allowing Verbal communication. Gen.
Bragg brought with him talented staff.
composed of * fficers Of the U. s. army
end he was preceded by an advisory corps oI
engineers. II was reported that the late!
had decided to recommend the construction
Of an inferior line OF defences, few hun
dred yards north OF the present wtrks, to be
placed in positions commanding the works
now in their possession, 60 as TO commence
a new siege in the event OF their being for
ccd to retreat before the United States
troops. But such on event, it is thought, il
cut OF the question. These new works will
be Prott cted on the Aanks by suitable sux.
ilaries. The craters for the mines have
always been prepared, and il the wors
comes to worst, succession of small earth
quakes can be created to render the lane
works unlenable.
Captain O'Htra, formerly of the Unite,
States army who, after putting Fort Barrdn
cas- in first wor order, assumed command q
Fort McRes, and and at the date of our in
teiligence was working with zeal in mount
ing heavy guns on th.t work. One of tn
newly arrived officers Of the Confederat
army at Pensacola stated that the War De
pertinent OF the South had determined I
conce nitrate body OF 5000 men there fortt
with, and to this end the most ample mea!
ures had been adopted in the Commissaria
Qusrternlaster and Hospital departments #
so large body of troops. All the ordnanc
and artillery stores and archives not actual
necessary for immediate use have been~re
moved from the Washington Navy Yard, {
as to prevent anything falling iato the hant
of Uncle Sans troops should they succee
10 landing. Large supplies OF arms on
munitions Of war were daily arriving.
1t has been asceriained that Fort Picken
is a.most totally deficient in mortars, havin
but four ten inch ones, and these very badl
mounted. This fOCt, when considered
military men, makes the much vauDted un
vulnerabili,y of that fort sink into insight
canee, as shells are the only missiles thl
can be OF any avail sgsinst the sand bate
ries of the Confederate troops.
