Affair* at Rons Afoul trie, Sumter aud
Castle Pinckney,
Our reporter visited the Island yesterday, and
found matters at Fort Moultrie progressing quietly
and satisfactorily.
The rubbish left by the Federal troops is being
cleaned away, and the fortress assuming a defensi
ble aspect. Many apprehended difficulties, of a na
’ ire we need not name, have been, removed ; and
- Ifie Volunteer Companies constituting the garrison
are making merry over the hardships of the sol
dier. Souujjof the guns are, it is supposed, badly
injured by the burning of the carriages. Activity
prevails at the garrison, and its vigilant officers
are determined on the course that guides their
action.
Fort Sumter, as viewed at a distance, presents
an appeanudi, of lively activity. Schooners and
barges were plying between the fort and the chan
nel during the day. Everything seems to indicate
active preparation.
Castle Pi#ekney was reinforced in the afternoon
by a detachment of the Marion Artillery from
Fort Moultrie, under the command of Cuptuin
King. A detachment of the Washington Light
Infantry was transferred from the former to the
latter place in the forenoon, thus retaining at Fort
Moultrie the same force as first occupied it.
The garrison at Castle Pinckney consists of
about two hundred men. Ten twemy-four pound
cannon are mounted on the ramparts, besides
some fifteen pieces—a few of which are casema
ted—in the lower tier. The work is well provided
with munitions of all kinds, and ’under the com
mand of its field officers, Col. Pettigrew and Maj.
Ellison Capers, will iftake itself felt, if need be,
when the time comes. It is far from being the in
significant position of w h.ch it has the reputation.
Aithougu’ a’ defective construction has impaired
the power of the lower batteries to a considerable
extent, it has au e eetive tier of rampart guns,
which, from its eligible position, are capable of
much service. It is beyond the reach of the lar
gest guns of Fort Sumter,.and commands the en
tire hue of wharves and shipping along Cooper
River, and in the bands of au enemy would be
capable of doing vast injury to the city.— Charles
ton Courier, 29fA,
From Washington.
Washington, Dec. 26. —The report that the
Military Committee of the Senate had under con
sideration the Pittsburg affair, is incorrect; but
the Cabinet being in session it was discussed by
them. It is universally conceded that if the Gov
ernment insists upon the shipment of arms from
Pittsburgh, it must also reinforce the Southern
forts, and enforce the laws there. The Adminis
tration is in great tribulation about it. Efforts
wfll be made, by influential persons sent lroui
Washington, to induce the people to desist, and
allow the arms to be shipped.
Mr. Cass was on the Avenue this afternoon. He
reiterated to a prominent Republican representa
tive his indignation at the course of President
Buchanan in not reinforcing the forts. Ho says
hi* public life is closed.
I saw a letter from one of the soldiers at Fort
Sumter to his mother to day. He says the fort is
in excellent coudition for defence, fail of ammuni
tion and arms, and with a few more men, could
defy any euemv that could approach it. He says
all bands expect a conflict, and feel greatly alarm
ed at the prospect, because their numbers are so
small. They hope the Government will uo some
tiiing.io aid them—if not, they will defend the
fort t the best of their ability. The closing words
are quite touching and solemn.
The Republican members of the House Com
mittee of Thirty-three, caucussed to day, and
agreed to Enabling Act for New Mexico—the sec
ond section of which recognizes slavery, if the
people desire it. They hud previously agreed to
Enabling Acts for several Territories, which must
be free.
In the Rtj*ublican caucus io-dav, three Repub
licans voted against the New Mexico Enabling
Act, but it wub agreed to reoort it to-morrow.
In the Committee of Thirty-three, Adams, of
Massachusetts, offered the proposition respecting
New Mexico, and w ill report the same to the Com
mittee himself. Coming from the most radical
man from the North this is regarded as a lack
down. Kellogg, of Illinois, asked if they were to
concede so much of the Republican platform, why
not give up everything demanded respecting the
Territories— “specially as the system of slavery in
New Mexico was the worst of any on the Conti
nent. Kellogg of Illinois, Tappan of New Hamp
shire, and Washburn of Wisconsin, voted against
it. The District Judge of New Mexico appeared
before the Committee at the last meeting, and
Btated that the Territory had seven hundred and
fifty white native citizens, two thousand Mexi
can citizens under the Trea
ty, three thousand Mexican aliens, forty-four
thousand peons, and forty-four thousand Indians,
about half civilized ; total, about ninety thousand.

Full Particular* ot the Belalratlon.
Washington, Dec. 24.
It appears from the facts in connection with the
late abstraction of the bonds of the Indian Trust
Fund, that, about five months ago, Wm. E. Rus
sell, of the firm of Majors, Russell & Waddell,
held about a million of dollars of the official ac
ceptances of the Secretary of War. These accep
tances had been given, conditionally, in accord
ance with the usual course of business, for trans
portation of supplies of the army, under contract
with the Government. Mr. Russell, not finding
himself able to negotiate these acceptances, and
being greatly embarrassed, pecuniarily, and ascer
taining from Godard & Bailey, with whom he was
intimately acquainted, that the latter had control
of over three millions of Indian Trust Funds, in
vested in bonds of different States, arranged with
him to let him have about half a million dollars ;
these bonds to be hypothecated in New York, and
as security for which, he gave Bailey the accep
tances of the War Department, which Bailey
placed in the safe where the books were kept. Re
cently these bonds have greatly depreciated, and
tbe Bankers in New York who made advances on
them, therefore, called for additional security.—
Bailey, in order to save the bonds, delivered over
$300,000 worth of them additional, in all $870,000.
On the 19th inst. he addressed a letter to the Sec
retary of the Interior, frankly imparting these
facts, and requesting an investigation.
This letter he gave to a Senator to be delivered
to the Secretary on his return from North Caro
lina, which request was complied with. The in
vestigation, yesterday, proved the truth of these
statements. Suter, Lea A Cos., compose the bank
ing firm through which the negotiation was trans
acted. Nothing either in the paper or in the in
vestigation show that any parties except those
immediately concerned in this business as above
related arc in the slightest manner concerned in
the transactions. It may be stated that the ac-.
ceptances of the Secretary of War have been
ven from time to time, in compliance with a ;
contract with Russell, Majors A Cos., aud until re
cently that firm have had no difficulty in nego
tiating them. To-day, Bailey was errested at the
instance of the Government, and reouired to give
bail in the sum of $3,000 for appearance at the
next term of tbe Criminal Court. A dispatch re
ceived here to-day from the two detectives sent to
New York yesterday, states that Russell has been
arrested, and will be here to-morrow. It is
thought the Government is protected, as the ac
ceptances more than cover the amount of the
bonds abstracted. The Special Committee of the
House, to which an investigation of the subject is
referred, consists of Messrs. Morris, of Illinois,
Coukling, of New York, Bocock, of Virginia,
Harris, of Maryland, and Case of Indiana.
Arrest of an Alleged Accomplice.— ln conse
quence of information elicited in Washington by
au examination of papers, or by statements of
Bailey, the defaulting Clerk of the Department of
the Interior, Officer Allen came on to this city on
Sunday in pursuit of some person alleged to be
implicated in the wholesale plunder of the public
funds.
L r v . . ...
On his arrival ho immediately communicated
with the U. S. Marshal, exhibiting derequisition
from the authorities of the District of Columbia
for a certain Government contractor who has
been long and well known in Washington.
Steps were immediately taken to secure the ar
rest oi the accused, who, it was ascertained, was
stopping at the Everett House. United States
Ccynmissiouer Betts issued his warrant, and early
on Monday the officers found the person they
were m pursuit of, Mr. Wm. H. Russel, who was
about leaving his hotel.
He was conveyed to the Marshal’s office in a
carriage, and on application Judge Betts signed
the order for the delivery of the accused to the
authorities of the District of Culumbia.
Mr. Russell is a well known large army con
tractor. lie is charged with being concerned in
the recent embezzlements of the Indian trust
fund.
The part taken by Mr. Russell, is understood to
have been the disposal, in this city, of the drafts
and bonds taken by the agent in Washington.
Mr. Russell was arrested and taken before Judge
Betts, who issued a warrant of rendition, and the
accused was immediately taken on to Washington
by the officer.
‘ Washington, Dee. 26.— W. 11. Russell, who was
arrested on Monday, in New York, on the charge
of being implicated in the abstraction of the bonds
from the Interior Department, arrived here yes
terday, m the custody of Detectives Allen and
Barker. Ilis bail was fixed by the Government
at $500,000, in default of which he was committed
to jail, where he was visited by members of Con
gress and other friends, who'partook of Christ
mas hospitalities with him.
Mr. Bailey is retained as a witness in the c ise.
the interior Department has taken measures for
the recovery of the abstracted bonds.
Further revelation of facts connected with the
recent fraud on the Government show that
Messrs. Russell, Majors A Co.’s contract has two
years to run yet. The alleged acceptances of the
secretary ot Var are said to consist of mere
memoranda stating that so much money would
be due on the execution of certain service under
the contract for the transportation of the army
supplies, which Mr. linssell had, from time to
time, used as collateral security in borrowing
money .Such memoranda or certificates have
heretofore been given by other departments un
der like ctrcumsittaces.
Mr. Bailey, in his letter of confession to the Se
cretary of the Interior, says that no officer of the
Government had any complicity or the slightest
knowledge ot the fact of his having abstracted
the bonds, aud that it was confined to the per
sons directly implicated and heretofore named.
The bondsmen for Bailey surrendered him to
day and he is now in jail. As to tho bail requir
ed of Russell, it having been agreed tt take $200,-
000 outside of the jurisdiction of the Court, Sen
ator Green aud Representatives Woodson aud
Barrett, all of Missouri, have gone his security
for this amount. The remaining SBOO,OOO is be
ing made up by citizens of Washington.

As to the political news, you get it even from
this State and county almost as fresh and hot as
we do. What a lamentable thing it is that our
great, our grand, our wonderful improvements,
that might render us so happy as a nation, should
be subverted aud made a curse to us ; but the peo
ple are intoxicated with the mercies and bless
ings a kind Providence has showered upon them,
and in a fit of madness are about to dash the
more than golden casket (that has cost our sires
oceans of blood and treasure,) to the ground, yea,
against the rock of Treason, that will Binder it
into a thousand pieces.
It is a matter so simple, a thing so easily done,
to right the “Ship of Htate,” and let her sail
smoothly and calmly on her voyage, that the pas
sengers would scarcely know there had been any
obstruction.
1 o obtain this result, let each State repeal every
thing that is obnoxious to the Constitution of the
UDited States ; in other words, let each State
come square up to the Constitution, let the North
cease to interfere with the South, anditoll would
be happy. f
Hands ofi the Constitution—it is next to
the Bible in my view, and if all tbougl%o, and
would act accordingly, we would yet b* %happy
people. Yet Ido fear that a heavy* \t of
trouble awaits us all, and is not far ah* *u*
more especially the youug men who wi% \led

Seasonable Advice.— Cough* and Colds.—
Fhis is the scusou lor colds, and complaints are
frequently. Ihe Journal of Health Bays that if a
man begins to cough, es the result of a common
cold, it is the result of nature attempting the cure
and she will effect it in her own time, and more
effectually than any man con do bo, if she is only
let alone, and her instincts cherished. What are
those instincts? She abhors food, and craves
warmth. Hence, the moment a man is satisfied
•hat be has taken cold, let him do three things :
first, eat not an atom. Second, go to bed and
cover up waim iu a warm room. Third, drink as
much cold water as he wants, or as much hot herb
leu HS he cun, and in three cases out of four he
will be almost entirely well in thirty-six hours.
If lie d®es nothing for his cold for eighty-four
hours after the cough commences, there is noth
ing that he can swallow that will by any possibili
ty, do him any good, for the cold, with sueh a
start, will run its course to about a fortnight, in
spite of all that can be done, and what is swal
lowed in the meantime, in the way of physic, is a
hindrance and not a good. “Feed a cold and
starve a fevtr” is a mischievous fallacy. A cold
always brings a fever; a cold never begins to get
well until the fever begins to subside ; hut every
mouthful swallowed is that much more fuel to
teed the fever, and but that for the fact that as
soon as the cold is fairly seated, nature, in a kind
of desperation, steps in and takes away the appe
tite, the commonest colu would be followed by
very serious results, and in frail people would be
almost always fatal. These things being so, the
very fact of waiting forty-eight hours gives time
for the cold to fix itself In the system, for a cold
does not usually cough until a day or two has
passed, and then to wait two days longer, gives
it its fullest chance to do its work before any
thing at all is done.

WASHINGTON NEWS.
Washington, Dec. 29.—The President states
that as it was never stipulated by him that tbe
troops in Charleston harbor should be withdrawn
therefrom, the Administration does not consider
that it is under any obligation to withdraw them
now. And as to the request of the Commission
ers for the restoration of the military status of
Charleston harbor, this is considered by a majori
ty of the Cabinet as impossible.
_Meßsrs._Floyd, Thompson and Thomas, who
hold to the Constitutional right of secession were
separated from the other members of the Cabinet
on this South Carolina question.
No positive conclusion was arrived at in the
Cabinet meeting to-day, although the action that
was taken was certainly not favorable to the Com
missioners. This statement is strengthened by
the fact that Secretary Floyd resigned his office
to-day. It is said that Secretary Thompson
would have resigned also, were it not that the
pending investigation of the Russel affair made it
imperative for him to remain.
A report prevails, and it is believed to be cor
rect, that the Secretary of the Treasury is disaf
fected, and may resign; he is known to spmpa
thize with Secretary Floyd’s views.
No hope remains now of any adjustment of pen
ding difficulties. The Government is bankrupt,
the Cabinet almost dissolved, and the people dis
affected, all seem to foreshadow anarchy and
ruin ; Congressmen and Government employees
are daily clamoring for money at the door of an
empty Treasury.
