The Disunion Crisis

Wa&íiingtOQ, Jan. 25. Thoro is no longer any doubt that tho government have sent forcea to relieve Forts Sumpter and Piokens. The administration do not regard this actiou as any declaration of war on the part of the frovernment, but as eiinply a duty. The authoritiea of Charleston and Pensacola uoderutaod this, and if thy cliooso to be the aggreSBOrs and i inake the attack tliey must tako the conseqneunes. It muy be some days befora it ia known that forcea have been sent. The movemont has boen quiotly made, but the movement a d earnest now, as these people well undtxstand. The dostiuation of the Bteamer Brooklyn is Fort Piotens, The arsenal at Augusta, Georgiu, surrendered to the Sta e troops, was, under the sole charge of Dr. J. M. Galt, who bas been twelve years in thu service, and a guard of nino men. On accountof the impending troubles May or BI idgBtt, of Augusta, with the advice of the City Council, wroto to tho then Secretary of War, Ojv. Floyd, and stíited that tho local authorities would not be held responsiblo for the government property tl) ere unless thero w;is a reinforceinent oí Ur.ited States troops. Aocordingly Company E. Captain Arnold Elzv, then stationed at Fort Smith, was oreiured to repair te the arsenal, which was occupied by that corps in the latter part oí October, uho held it until the surrender, aa just reported. The proparty is one of the best held by the government in the interior of any southern State. The grounds coraprise saventy acres of the most olig'ble and valuable land in the vicinity of Augusta. The buildings a"j mosily of brick, hirgc and onmjjov and the barracks are "ine 0,.er )r the accomodatiun o{ lroo„3 The ade grouiii lfi only eqilane.d ou this MnU"Z)% bv the Champ de Mars at -u.;,atreal, and is fianked by tine groves oí trees. There wero on the premises u Oktober a fu 11 battery of four pieees, eis anci twelve poundora, whicl),in 1850, was part of Major Lionald's cummand, Company L of the Artillery. There were ulso tvventy thousaad muskets and two thousaud ritles. Tho muskets were made in 1822, flint locks, and altered in 1840 to percussion. The rifles are designed f'or the Minie ball, and are in good order. The placo was bought for the United States ia 1821 by Captain Payne. "judge Douglas and Senators Seward and Crittendon havo been in conference lor several days, and are understood to be engaged i ii preparing 8ome plan of settlement. Tho precise character of it has not transpired. Ono thing, how ever, is certain - any plan of adjustment acceptablo to these gentlemen will, it is believed, uarry wiih it euflicienl strength to pass both house. The southern eecession convention rneets at Montgomury on tho 4th of ïebrnary, and thero will be representationa fiotn six S:a"es. It is their inten tion, now, :ifter organizing, to adjourn until the 25th f February, for thepurposo of giving Virginia and other States time to luke action. They have been assured that, unlesssome adjustment is made by the 25th, Virginia wil] jpin her sister States of the South. The seizureof the navy-yard ut Pen Racola, and all tho government proper ty and frts exuept Fort Pieken.", by tho State autborUiea, has arousod the commercial interests of New York. - They cali upon the government here to retake its property there, and if the President has not suffieient power to do no, they urge upon Congres to take the necessary steps to give hitn the power requi ed. The possession of tliis important p sition by the seceding States is regarded by the great commercial inttrosts North as not only dangorou?, but destructivo, to oomrnerce. This matter will be brought before the attention of Congress in a íevv days. I have reason to believe that tho proposition sfibniitted by Mr. Adams - providing, bv constitutional amendraent, agailtot any further interferenco with .lavery in the States, without the consent of ihe State where the institution existw, and af'ter the admisión of Kansas, a provisión to udmit New Mes ico, with or without slavery, as her peoplo may elejt - will be voted for by enough republ oans and bordar State democrats and Americans to curry it. There is an absurd story in „circulation tonight that Mr. Lincoln will soon i'ssue a manifestó that will be highly eatisfactory to secessionists.
