The subjoined letter from Tx President
BUCHANAN was received at the office of
the National lnieljgenccr few days ago.
a friend of the Ex Presidents who hap.
pened to read the letter, and who feels
much interested in the question of honor
and duty, which the lcttor incidentally but
very strongly states, and thinking that the
opinion of one who has served the country
so conspicuously and so long might exert
salutary influence on the opinions of 9th.
ers, asked and obtained the consent of the
distinguished writer to its publication, and
it is published accosdingly:
WHEATLAND, May 6, 1861.
To tie EfitOrS Of the National
LnteRfgenccr:
GENTLEMEN; In the confusion of the
times | have not received your tri.weckly
numbers 9,l57 and 9,l5s, of April ~
and April 80, l believe. As yours is the
only paper of which 1 preserve a file,
[ should feel greatly obliged if you would
send me these numbers. Several items in
the IateHtgeRcer have awakened my attcn-
ton to the facility with which military
gentlemen relieve themselves from their
oaths and change their allegiance \
military oath has ever been held sacred
in all ages and in all countries. Besides
the solemn sanctions of religion, there is
superadded the highest appeal to personal
honor, Each military officer swears that
he will bear true allegiance to the United
States, and serve them honestly and faith
fully against all their enemies and oppo-
sers whatsoever. They do not swear to
support the Constitution of any State. Ed
ucated by the United States, they belong
to the Federal Government III a peculiar
sense, Whilst | can imagine why an Off
Ger might resign rather than shed the
blood of citizens of his native State in war,
yet it is difficult to excuse or palliate the
next step, which is to 60 over the enemy,
and make war upon the tine honored flag
of the country. MAJOR Beauregard, when
he discharged the first gun against Fort
Sumpter, lighted a fame which it will re-
quire a long time to cxtinguish. The
people of the North at present are enthu-
siastically unanimous.-They never were
aroused until that shot was fired. l often
warned Southern gentlemen that this
would be the inevitable result
| enjoy good health, and as tranquil a
spirit as the evils impending over my
country will permit.
Your friend very respectfully,

Council Chamber, Boston, April 5,'6l. !
GENERAL tt have received through
Major Ames a dispatch transmitted from
PerrySille, detailing the proceedings at
Annapolis from the time of your arrival
off that port until the hour when Major
Amos left you to return to Philadelphia.
! wish TO repeat the assurance of my en-
tire satisfaction with the action you have
taken, with single exception. If rightly
understand the telegraphic dispatch, l
think that your action in rendering to Gov.
Hicks the assistance of our Massachusetts,
troops to suppress threatened suryile in
surrection among the hostile people Of
Maryland, was unnecessary. hope that
the fuller dispatches, which are on their
way from you, may show reasons why |
should modify my opinion concerning that
particular instance but in general think
that the matter Of servilo Instruction
among a community in arms against the
Federal Union, is no longer to be regarded
by our troops in political, but solely in a
military point of view, and is to be con-
tcmplated as one of the inherent weakness
cs of the enemy, from the disastrous op-
erations of which we are under no obliga'
tons of military character to guard
them, in order that they may be enabled
to improve the security which our arms
would afford, SO as to prosecute with more
energy their traitorous attacks upon the
Federal Government and Capitol, The
mode in which such outbreaks arc to be
considered should depend entirely upon
the loyalty or disloyalty Of the cummunity
in which they occur, and in the vicinity Of
Annapolis, 1 can on this occasion perceive
no reason of military policy why force
summoned to the defense Of the Fedora
Government, at this moment Of all others
should be offered to be diverted from it.

with arms in their hands, obstructing it

our views personally on this subject, w
shall arrive at entire concordance of opin
ion. Yours faithfully.

Coz. i. L. TATE,
Dear Sar One month to-day l left
Philadelphia for Harrisburg, to join the
"I.ogan Guards" volunteer Company
from Lewistown, Penna. We arrived at
Washington City, on the evening Of the
18th of April. being the first volunteer
Company to march to the defense of the
threatened Capitol. The citizens were in
excitement, and received us with demon.
strations of joy. Our passage through
Baltimore was uninterrupted, save by the
groans of crowd of lawless vagabonds.-
1t was two days before the Eighth Massa-
chusctts Regiment came through, and be-
fore the madened crowd became SO exas-
perated. We we're quartered in the South
wing of the Capitol, where we remained
until the first of may, when we were or
dered to Fort Washington, Prince George
county, Maryland. The fort is sixteen
miles from Washington City, down the Po-
tomac, and eight miles below Alexandria,
Va. 1t is an important point, as it COM
mands the only entrance to the Capitol by
water. Every thing from the size of a
man. of-war to an oyster boat, that attempts
to pass is made to haul.to and undergo
inspection. The fort is under command OF
Mai Haskins, of the U. S. a., who served
in the Mexican Campaign. The force Of
the garrison is two companies of regulars
and two of volunteers, making in all three
hundred and fifty, rank and file. When
we came very little preparation had been
made to stand a siege and we have been
busy mounting cannon, falling trees, and
putting things generally in order. Maj
Haskins says he can,with the present force
hold it against ten thousand.
We entertain no fears Of an attack soon
as the eleven thousand Yirginians that arc
encampQd eight miles below on the Virgin
ia side, will have enough to do to dispute
the right of Government troops passing
through that section to Richmond. There
are some four hundred Marylanders under
arms at Pscatawa, a small town, four mile
distant, who threaten, and would like tC
attack, but are fraid.
We were last week mustered in tht
/, twenty-third Penna. Regiment, under Col
Cake, of Schuylkill county. Our late
Captain j. i. Lelhcimer, has been elected
Lieutenant Colonel of the Regiment. It'll
very likely we will leave here to join GU
Regiment at Washington, soon, as the
Colonel is anxious to have us together
We are not pleased at the idea of being
removed as it is much healthier here THAI
it will be at Washington. But when ou
services are required to take part in al
engagement, every one Of u5 will be tounl
ready and willing.
l learn that no companies from Colum
bia county have been accepted on accoul
of our States quota being furnished.
Please remember ME to your family an
the boys in the Office, and believe me

DEPARTMENT OF ANNAPOLIS,


To His Excellency, JoHN A. ANDNEW,
Governor and COMMANDMENTS Chief.
SIR: have delayed replying to your
Excellency's dispatch of April the 25th,
in my other dispatches, because as it in
yolyed only disapprobation of an act done,
couchod in tAo kindcst language, [ suppos-
cd the interest of the country could not
suffer from the delay; and incessant labor
up to the present moment, has prevented
my giving full consideration to the topic.
Temporary illness, which forbids bodily
activity, gives me now moments pause
The telegraph, with more than usual
accuracy, had rightly informed your Ez-
celency that had offered the services Of
the Massachusetts troops under my com
mand to aid the authorities Of Maryland
in suppressing threatened slave insur-
rection. Fortunately for us all, the rumor
Of such an outbreak was without substantial
foundation. Assuming, as your Excellency
does in your dispatch, that l was carrying
on military operations in an cnemy's coun.
try, when a war Toutrance was to be waged
my act might be matter Of discussion
And in that view, acting in the light of the
Baltimore murders aad the apparently
hostile position Of Maryland, your Excel
lency might, without mature reflection
have come to the conclusion of disappro
baton expressed in your dispatch. But
the facts, especially as now aided by thoil
results, will entirely Justify my act, and
rein.latc me in your Excellency's good
opinion.
True, landed on the soil of Maryland
against the formal protest of its Governor
and of the corporate authorities of Annap
oils, but without any armed opposition OF
their part and expecting opposition only
from insurgents assembled in riotous con
tempt of the laws of this State. Before
my letter, and at the time of landing, BY
personal interview, had informed Gov
Hicks that soldiers of the Union, unde
my command, were armed only against tn,
insurgents and disturbers of the peace o
Maryland and the United States. re
ceiyed from Gov, Hicks assurances of tn
loyalty of the State to the Union, assuran
ces which subsequent events have full,
justified, The Mayor of Annapolis ais,
informed me that the city authorities woulc
in no wise oppose me, but that l was il
great danger from the excited and riotou
mobs Of Baltimore pouring down upon me
and in numbers beyond the control of hi
police. l assured both the Governor anC
the Mayor that had no fear of Il Balti
more Or other mob, and that supported b,
the authorities of the State and city,
should repress all hostile demonstration
against the laws of Maryland and til,
United States, and that l would protoc
both myself and the city of Annapolis frou

the morning following my landing I wal

environs were in danger from an insurrec

gone TO the seat of war:

From the above statement it will be
seen that the city of New York alone has
supplied more than the whole quota Of
men required from the State. The above
list includes only those regiments which
have been inspected, Nearly as many more
are wholly and PARTLY full and waiting the
operations of"red tape" circumlocution.-
1t is remarkable that no troops have yet
marched out of the State except from the
counties Of Albany, New York, Ulster
and Kings, hcse four counties gave
majority of 34590 og gtiaSt Lincoln and
Tie Chicago Higorm at the Presidential
election, and full nine-tenths Of the men
who have enlisted from these counties to
fight the battles Of the government against
secession treason, are sound and reliable
democrats. So marked has been the pre-
ponderance of democrats in the several
volunteer corps which have left the city,
that distinguished republicans have begun
to boast that the democratic majority in
this city will all be absorbed by the war
before the November election, and that in
consequence, they will be enabled to elect
their candidates for county Offices!
Out of the whole 400 men comprising
the Sixty-ninth Regiment now in the SER
vice of the Government at Washington, it
has been ascertained that only fUe voted
at the last election for Lincoln. Twenty
to one of all the soldiers that have gone
from this city were democrats; and the
first New York country regiment that has
entered the service-the Ulster county
regiment which left here last Tuesdays
commanded by democratic State Sena-
tor, and is composed mostly of the demo-
cratic young men Of Ulster and Green
counties.

less pit, social anarchy. Adjourn other
issues until this aelfsustaining issue is SET
tied. Hitherto says the York Gazette, a
good Providence has smiled upon the
American Union.-This was the Morning
Star that led on the men of the Revolution.
1t is precisely the truth to say, that when
those sages and heroes labored, they made
UNION the vital condition of labor. 1t
was faith in Union that destroyed the tea,
and that nerved the resi- tancc to British
aggression. Without it the patriots felt
they were nothing, and with it tbey-felt
equal to all things. That Union flag they
transmitted to their posterity. To-day ii
waves over those who are rallying under
the standard of the LAW. And God grant
that in the end, as it is with Old Mother
Country after wars between the White
and Red Roses, and Roundheads and
Cavaliers, 50 it may be with the daughter
then she may see PEACE in her borders
and all her children loving each other bet
ter than ever.
