The affairs at Charleston was the ' subject under consideration. Secretary Floyd stated to the President, in writing, that unless Major Anderson was withdrawn from Fort Snmpter he coukl not remain in the \ Cabinet. Secretaries Thompson and Thomas were under stood to entertain the same view, but the events of to day changed their minds somewhat. The President de termined, after full deliberation, not to withdraw M ijor Anderson, anil Mr. J'loyd's resignation was therefore ac .1 Copied. Hocrstary Floyd's resignation is explained as follows.? The South Carolina Commissioners demanded, as nn ulti matum, the withdrawal of all the fedora 1 forces from the J Charleston forti The President was willing to restore ' the tUtivi quv, besides disclaiming Major Anderson"! ?oursn, but would not ivuncede the demand to w.thdraw * ad the forces. The imue In Cabinet wus upon this point, Mr Floyd taking sides with the Commissioners' 'lemon I, sad ihe Executive opposing it, and hence Mr. Flsyd re hag at 4.

The movemruU nf the South Carolina Oomuuasiooers ceas> d to attract . much attention, a villi to the Cfcpitol, and paying their respects to Speaker Pennington and other dignitaries, being all that they did of a public character They were ' all day without a despatch from the scat of trouble, which fact they attributed to an iotsrruptioa of II* Wires. They made no further call u)>on Ute President, nor s it likely they will from present appoaraaoee. That the Cabinet was holding a protracted sesaiou was all of public interest th.it was occurring. In short, there was nothing ensuing or alarming going on, on the Street or in private coumils, whan suddenly the gown, at ths hour above mentioned, wss set into another blass of excitement by a report, coming through * trustworthy channels, that Mr. Floyd, Secretary of War; Mr. Tlwmae, Secretary of the Treasury, and Mr. Tbornp pon, Secretary of the Interior, had all resigned, on the ground, as was alleged, that ths President had refusod to , order Major Anderson to return with bis farce to Fort Moultrie So current and apparently reliable was the rumor, that Mm atom, representative, lit* South Carolina Oxntni* Picnci s, and many others having access to well informed Circles, reiterated it. and generally expressed a belief that 14 was the fact After in res tig ul ion however at headquarters, the re .

Ike pONey to be pursued ftp the administration in re ghrd ta the militar y movements in Charleston harbor, uil Mm further measureseo be adopted in reference to the ttaulh Otrohua Commissionera, are still subjects of thfemot dtocusnion, which now hold daily and protracted sessions. Tt is understood that not only the Oumflstasioa ers, bet the entire Southern delegations here, demand the withdraws! of Major Anderson from Fort Sumpter. A portion of the Cabinet are inclined to the same view. 1 have good reason to believe, however, that the Presi dent will not accede to this demand. While he admits that Major Anderson, in his reoeut movement, was actiag without special instructions to that effect, he feels that the subsequent events preclude the possibility of restor ing the troo|? to the iUU*i <fuo. The President Is deter mined to do everything in his power to avoid collision. The House Committee of Thirty-throe to-day voted to recommend an enabling act to admit New Mexico aa a State, with or without slavery as she may elect. The proposition received the votes of all the republicans pre sent except Washburue, Tappan, Kellogg, Morrill add JRobiuson. Mr. Washbmrne declared that it was an offer 0 iDg of a new slave St..tc and two United Mates Senators to appease Southern wrath; a proposition to create a State without people to strengthen slavery; thyt tho Ter ritory hud not to exceed seven hundred white people who wtre natives of tho United States; that it would be un just to the old Slates to admit hor as a State though she camo us a free State, nod that thu only merit the measure could por-sibly have to pacitleAte the South would urlee from the consideration that a new slave State was conceded to them, ami that if they diil not believe that it was such a concession it would < uly aggravate the difficulty. Kxtremo Southern men opposed it because H did not reach the root of the difli cully, which they fraukly declared could only bo settled by providing for the protection of slavery in future ac quisitions of territory. It is proper to state that the rest of the republicans, and the Union men of the bor der States, voted for these propositions of Mr. Adams from a desire to make all concessions they oould coo sistent with honor, that there may be no question as to their position aa earnest friends of the Union. Senator Bigler now propoecs, every other proposition having failed in the Senate Committee, that the people in each Congressional district vote directly upon the q'tee tion wnether there shall be a division line between the North and South as regards slavery. The proposition re ceives democratic support, but the republicans are shy. Senator Dixon, republican, of Connecticut, says he will susta.ii it if a respectable number of his party will con sent to do so. Mr. Seward's Astor House speech has been and still is variously commented upon, tho Southern men rcgirdiog it as a declaration in favor of coercion, while the ultra republ icons consider It too conciliatory In Its tone. The Litter are opposed to concessions of any character, and seem to regard the breaking up of the government with much iiuliOereiM-u as the mast extreme Southern 1A1.1. It is well known here among the leading republican* that several of theCovernors of the great m>n slaveholdlng Males liave agreed to recommend a llriu and determine.] res.stuncii to the acoeeskm movement of the Southern Ktales. The lint States that will proclaim this policy In th< ir forthcoming messages to their respective legisla tures are New York, Pennsylvania and Ohls, to he fol lowed by the other Northwestern states. Ike Mouth are beginrirg to understand that they will have an spsspaihy or strength In th? North, except from those who sreojs pi red to the rc|Hiblican party. These facta, just de , are dobs; much barui in the .'South, and accole rating the secession movement The Pennsylvania legislature wlk meet on Tuesday next.

There wo* no formal reception. The President was in hia library, and when the servant announced their arri val be was directed to conduct I hem thither at once. The interview woe not concluded until nlt -r three o'clock. It is understood that the CommiesiOoarH presented in writing their credentials from the State of South Chrolma, empowering them to treat with tbe general government in regard to the (aria, arsenals and other property, he., he. But it ie further said that, in consequence of the news received here within the last forty-eight hours, they exprcrt-od un unwillingness to enter upon any negotiations until the movements of Major Anderson were fully ex plained. The Major's despatch fully explains his conduct. It) wished to save the etrusion of blood. He determine I to prevent the sacrifice of lives of American citixeus. 'Ibis was his sole motive. The Commiesionefe ask now that the troops of the go vernment should be withdrawn, ss their presence, prid ing negotiations, is a menace. The Piesident, it is understood, listened to tboir repre sentations respectful!) and courteously, but gave no re cognition to their authority to address him, except as citizens of tl.e tinted Slates. While tbo Cabinet was in session oo this, the regular day, news came of the occu pation of Kort Moultrie and Qhatle Pinckney by the Oaro Uolaui. Tbe determination of tbo Cabinet (already, I presume, communicated by telegraph) was that every thing should bo placed in statu quo ante brUun? i. c., that the Caraitoions should give tip Furl Moultrie and Oostle Pinckney, to the former of which Major Anderson should promptly return. ' Th.s plan for a pacific solution of the latest eleaieut in complications already mischievous enough, bus given much composure throughout tbe political otrc'ce to-night. PREPARATIONS FOR WAR IN MASSACHU SETTS AND NEW HAMPSHIRE. Bostox, Dec. 29, 1980. There is no disguising the fact that Massachusetts is ready to respond promptly to any demand made upon bcr for troops to sustain the Union and the laws. I learn to-day, from thi highest authority, that seven thousand troops con bo pot in marching order on twenty four hours' notice, and that one hundred and forty-five thousand men arc enrolled In the militia of this .State. Of this number twenty thousand could be easily mus tered. Tbe financial resources of Massachusetts were never in better condition for such on emergency, end tbe people are enthusiastic to bo enrolled. Adjutant General Abbott, of New Hampshire, arrived here this afternoon from Washington, and left imine diately for Concord, with tbo tsteiiUon of reoommeodtng to Governor Goodwin that the Granite State be Imme dlately put upon a war footing. Considerable excitement exists In consequence of the reports that the muskets removed from the .Springfield Armory have been distributed over tbe South. Mr. Whit ney, Collector ofthie Port, late Superintendent of the Armory at Springfield, returned from there to night, having been there, it is supposed, with reference to the report from Washington to the Hamis tliat twenty thousand muskets have recently been taken fr Jin tbe armory and sold to Virginia. The feeling is deep and not to be misinterpreted. There is no mistaking the fact that Massachusetts is m earnest in this crisis. The merchants ore plucky, and tbe name of Anderson is uppermost in every conversation INTEREST! N? FMKMN HTB.LKXNCE. THE SOUTH CAROLINA CONVENTION. CiuKiurroN, 3.
