"The President then proceeds to say that Major Anderson acted on his own responsibility in removing to Fort Sumter, (k« Ptbiic Documents, Message of January 8,) and justice required that ho should not be condemned without a hearing. He then states that his first promptings, on hearing of the removal of Anderson, were to order him to return to Fort Moultrie, but before any steps could be taken to secure the concurrence of the South Carolini authorities, the latter took possession of the abandoned fort, and the other vacant ones. After describing the occurrences, the President thus proceeds:
It is under all these circumstances that I am urged
immediately to withdrew the troops from the harbor of Charleston, and I am informed that without this negotiation is impossible. This I cannot do—this I wiH not do. Such an idea was never thought of by me in any possible contingency. No such allusion bad been made in any communication between myself and any human being. But the inference is that I am bound to withdraw the troops from the only fort remaining in the possession of the United States in tbo harbor of Charleston, because the officer there in com- mand of all of the forts thought proper, without instructions, to change his position from one of them to another."

RECEIVED AT CHARLESTON, DEC. 27, 1860, AT 2 O CLOCK
p. M. BY TELEGRAPH FROM WASHINGTON,, 27TH,
TO MAJ. R. ANDERSON, U. S. A.
FORT MOULTRJE.
" Intelligence has reached here this morn
ing that you have abandoned Fort Moultrie,
spiked your guns, burnt the carriages, and
gone to Fort Sumter. It is not believed, be
cause there is no order for any such movement.
Explain the meaning of this report.
" J. B. FLOYD,
" Sec y of War."
Answer: " The telegram is correct. I
abandoned Fort Moultrie because I was cer
tain that, if attacked, my men must have been
sacrificed and the command of the harbor lost.
I spiked the guns and destroyed the carriages
to keep the guns from being used against us.
You should really do your own research and look for transcriptions of original documents, it would add more credibility to your argument.
