President he could not say He considered

Fort Moultric and Fort scott.

FOFt MOu1tric and Fort Scott.
The Cleveland Herald comments as follows
on Mr.. Buchanan's readiness to "crush a
halfstarved, distracted mob in Kansas, and
and his dereliction Of duty in putting down q
formidable insurrection in South Carolina:
"What pitiable sight is Buchanan! will
history record him knayc, or will it pronounce
him fool9 A telsgraphic dispatch from Mis-
souri,, dictated by a coyardly Federal Judge,

meets with instant response by Buchanan
ordering out regiment Of troops to hunt
down Montgomery and his forty followers,
while publicly proclaimed pledge, from the
candidates for the Executive Chair in South
Carolina, that whichever shall be made Gov
ernor will resist any attempt on the part Of
the Federal authority to reinforce the defenses
IN Charleston harbor, produces no action on
the part Of that demented old man. The
mere rumor that forty Jay hawkers in Kansas
threaten Fort Scott sends the brutal Harvey,
by order Of the President, with his full reei-
ment, by forced marches, to the defense Of
that fort, while the requisitions for more men
by Col. anderson, in command of Fort |
Moultrie, backed up by the recommendation |
of the brave Lieutenant Major General Scott |
md enforced BY the personal supplications Of !
The wife Of that brave Colonel to save her |
husband and his handful of men from being
'lAugntered, meets no response from the
'tupid or criminal Executive head.
"There is but one conclusion: that Mr..
3uchanan, having received assurances from
ne traitors that no attack shall BE- made on
ne works until after midnight of The Sd of
darch next, is vindictive enough, is wicked
nough. to refuse all reinforcements, hoping
hat the fourth of March will be ushered in
y civil war. And, to still further glut his s
evenge, he leaves Treasury bare Of funds,

Judge Williams.

We publish to-day, at the request of sew
eral citizens, q statcmen* from the Fort Scott
Democrat; intended to cxculpate Judge Viii
liams, formerly Of this place, from the charge
Of exaggeration and oowardice touching the
late troublein Kansas. Desiring to treat every
body fairly, we cheerfully comply with the re.
quest. But we think it is unfortunate for the
Judge that the names Of the ''large number Of
prominent citizens" was not printed along
with tie statement. We have only the word Of
an unscrupulous pro slavery editor that they
signed it.
We have no defense to make of aontgom-
ery's band. They have no doubt been guilty
of lawless acts, for which they should be
punished. But the public will not acquit
JudgeWilliams of the charge Of inficting
greivious wrong on the county by spreading
q highly exaggerated account of the affair,
thereby causing unnecessary alarm and
putting the government to great cost in dis
patching troops to that point; and, above all,
causing false impression to 60 forth as to
the disposition ofsupplies sent for the relief
of the starving in Kansas, thus inducing
many to withhold what they should have Civ
en- for that purpose This was grave error on
the part of the Judge. Perhaps it was an
error of the head only; and if SO, itwould
be infinitely more to his credit that it should
be acknowledged than that labored apologies
should be made for it.

General Scott says that Fort Moultrie is
not the strongest fortifcation at Charleston,
but Fort Sumpter is. and that two hundred
men can hold it against all South Carolina,
and siz hundred men can defy the world.
This is probably the reason why Major
Anderson has evacuated Fort Moultrie, and
concentrated his command in Fort Sumpter.
Tho latter is situated in the harbcr and sur
rounded on all sides by water. 1t is about
three miles from Charleston. Castle Pinck-
uey is dilapidated fertilization immediate
ly in front of Charleston, on Shute's Folly
Island. 1t is place of but little conse-
quence. The guns Of Fort Sumpter have
complete range across the harbor.

The Richmond Enquirer calls on Buchanan
to give up to the States all forts, &c, situated
within them, in order, as it coolly remarks,
ITO deprive the Black Republicans Of all
means to provoke conflict" Italso declares
it to be "the duty of every patriot to embar-

and SAYS "Lincoln's Inauguration should be
prevented by Maryland, and, if necessary,
Virginia should aid her." ~.
Is there man in the North, with particle
Of love for his country, or respect for his own
manhood, that would accept such humiliating
terms Of concilation as to give up to each
State now contemplating treason the forts
and other property belonging to the General
