Gen. Scott has written rejoinder to ex-
President Buchanan's reply to the Generals
first letter, i'll reference to the garrisoning
of the forts at the breaking out ofthe rebel
lion. Mr.. Buchanan said in excuse for
leaving the forts undefended that he had no
troops to put in them. Gen. Scott reminds
him now that there were six hundred re-
cruits at New York and Carlisle barracks,
with five companies ofregulars. This num-
Der of troops would have supplied garrisons
to the two forts below New Orleans, gar
rison for Fort Morgan below Mobile, re-
enforcement of one hundred men to Fort
Pickens, garrison of the like number at
Fort McI{ae, one hundred men to Fort JEFF
fersen at Tortugas, the same to Fort Pulas-
XII and two hundred for Moultre and Sum-
ter These small garrisons would have
been sufficient for the protection of the forts
against any surprise, and this relief might
have been extended in November, 1860.
In answer to Mr. Buchanan's sneer against
Gen. SCOTS "weak design" to save the
forts, the General reminds the ex-President
of what Slemmer did at Fort Pickens Mr..

MISCELL LLANEOUS.
I he Next Congress.

The Democratic opponents of the war
and the Administration have been rather
hssty in their jubilations over the re-
recent Congressional elections. 1t is now
quite plain that there will be An administra-
ton majority in both houses of the Thirty
eighth Congress. In the senate the mai io4e'
ity will be overpoweringly large. A careful
estimate that we have seen makes that body
to consist of 81 administration or Republi-
can Senators; ii War Democrats and Con-
servatives, and 3 opposition. This is abun-
dainty large for all practical purposes and
it secures to the administration an undeyi-
ating support in the Senate.
In the House of Representatives there
will be- more equal division of parties.
The members already chosen have been
classified as follows: administration 78, op-
position 60, doubtful 4-the doubtful being

who are not to be depended on for ardent
support of the administration, though they
are in favor of the war. The States yet to
elect are California, 3 members Connecti-
cut Il Kentucky 8 Maryland 5 i; Virgins
5; New Hampshire 3; Vermont 3; and
Rhode Island 2-in all 81 1t is though
that the members from these States will bt
about equally divided between the admins
tration and the opposition. In case elec
tions are held in Louisiana, North Carolina
Tennessee, or other of the seeded States
the numbers and the classification will hav
to be changed. But one thing in certain
the members chosen from such States wi
be loyal men, pledged to the support of tn
administration. The prospect is, we think
that the Democrats will be in the minorit
in the House, and, in any event, there ar
enough loyal war Democrats anong tn
members already chosen to secure for tn
administration an efficient support in it
measures against the rebels.

shipped for Texas on Floyds order
were stopped at Pittsburg through
Gen Scatts advice. Floyd himselfis cited
to prove by his speech in Richmond that he
claimed the credit of defeating Gen Scotts
plans respecting the forts. The conclusion
of disinterested reader of the correspon-
dence so far would, we think be, that the
forts could have been manned to secure them
to the possession ofthe government, if there
had been any vehement desire to do so.

Wake in our breasts the living ires,

Thy hand hath made our Nation free;
To die for her is serving Thee.

Still guide US in its moving cloud.

The YELLOW FEvER-According to adj
vices from Charleston, the yellow fever
seems to have progressed from Hilton Head
to Charleston city, and two hundred cases
of it are reported in that city. From Hilton
Head the report is that the fever had abated,
at Wilmington, N. c., it was ON the de-
crease, and at Key West it had entirely dis
appeared. The presence Of the fever in its
virulent form at Charleston, will doubtless
not suspend the operations against that city.
The season will be so far advanced by the
time the expedition is ready, that the city
may be occupied with safety. Beauregard
seems to apprehend the probable issue of
the assault, in ordering all the non-combat-
ants out Of the city before the attack begins.

Smyrna times., 1862-11-20

The Philadelphia american very properly says:
p" II we may judge by recent conversational
expressions by President Lincoln, his leniency to-
ward ineffective and blundcring commanders is based
upon desire not to ALLEVIATE the affections of the
Northern Democratic party, to which organization
these officers are said to belong We care not fig
for parties. We clamored more loudly and steadily
against Fremont during his Missouri career than
any Of the Democrats, and have not hesitated TO
dcnounce Hunter, Curtis, and other Republican gen.
erals when VIC thought them wrong.
Ia the of these Democratic generals, the
President commits cgregious error if he supposes
that he can satisfy the Democratic party BY anv
reasonable course. Indeed the knowledge that most
of the generals have been Democrats has embolden
the Democratic leaders at the North to a display of
arrogance and dctatiOn which has become insuffer-
able After the recent elections they asserted bold.
y that the people had declared in their favor that
Linz ON and his Cabinet ought to resign, that the
emancipation proclamation must be recalled, and
national convention called, &C., &c.
The President has taken the proper course by
considering the popular elections demanding
more vigorous prosecution of the war, in order 10
ensure which he has removed the tardy commanders,
and will continue to do sn until hc has purged tbs
public service Of those who have blocked the way.
That s the true method of answering these arrogant
demands for resignation Of the Govvrnment.
