HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS
Columbia cor News sod Courier.
The plunder room, which is being
explored by Mr Ganlt and Mr Yel
dell. is still bringing forth interesting
documents. One of the latest was a
packet of papers, containing a reply
of President Buchanan to the com
missioners from South Carolina, and
the ultimatum or reply of the South
Carolina commissioners The reply
ol the South Carolina commissioners
is Osastio and eloquent Ih its denun
Oiatlofl of President Buchanan for not
maintaining the status quo in Charles
ton harbor. The South Carolina com?
missioners conclude what they say as
follows :
But you have decided. You have
resolved to bold by force what you
hure obtained through our misplaced
confidence, and by refusing to disa?
vow tbe action of Major Anderson,
bave converted his violstion of orders
into a legitimate act of your xa ecu
tive authority. Be the issue what it
may, of this we are assured, that if
Fort Moultrie has been recorded in
history as a memorial of Carolina gal*
lantry, Fort Senator will live upon
the succeeding pago as an imperisha
ble testimony of Carolina faith
By your course you have probably
rendered civil war inevitable. Be it
so If you choose to force this
issue upon us tbe State of South
Carolina will accept it, and, relying
upon Htm who is the God of Justice,
aa weli as the God of Hosts, will
endeavor to perform the great doty
which lies before her hopefully,
bravely and thoroughly.
Our mission being one for negotia
tion and peace, and your note leav
ing us without hope of a withdrawal
of the troops from Fort Sumter. or
tbe restoration of the status quo ex
istiug at the time of our arrival, and
intimating, as we think, your deter?
mination to reinforce the garrison in
the harbor of Charleston, we respect
fully inform you that we purpose re?
turning to Charleston on tomorrow
afternoon.
We have the honor to be, sir,
very respectfully, youi obedient ser?
vants.
R W Barnwell,
J H Adams,
James L. Orr,
Commissioners
On the back of this paper, which
is 13 psges long, snd is dated Jan 1.
1861,\ia written, in the president's
own handwriting :
"Executive Mansion, 3 30 o'clock,
Wednesday ?This paper, just pre?
sented to the president, is of such
a character that he declines to re?
ceive it "
The psper seems to have been
kept in tbe original envelope in
which it was returned to the commis?
sioners, sa it bears the sesl of tbe
president of the United States, snd
in one corner is written in the presi
dent's handwriting the name of the
messenger who carried the docu?
ment to the commissioners of South
Carolina
The other paper which was found
ith this is evidently the reply oi
President Buchanan to the first com
municstion of tbe commissioners,
Deo 28, 1860 It is signed by Presi*
dent Buchansn and is a defense ol
what hsppened in Charleston harboi
immediately after the ordinance ol
secession had been passed In this
paper President Buchanan insist!
that he went into an understanding?
not a contract?with Messrs Law?
rence M Keitt, W W Boyce, M
L Bonham, W P Miles and John
McQueen, to maintain the status quo
He insists thst it was not a formal
contract, but that so far as he wai
concerned he was willing to carrj
ont the agreement in good faith and
did so lie given copies of ordert
issued early in December to Majot
Anderson, and as to Anderson's ac?
tions concludes : "Under these cir
cumstauces, it is clear that Majoi
Anderson acted upon bis own re
sponsibility unless, indeed, he her
'tangible evidence of a design t<
proceed to s hostile act' on the par
of 'be authorities of South Carolina
which lias not yet been alleged "
Going cn as to the removal of Maj
Anderson, he says: "When 1 learn
ed that Major Anderson had left For
Moultrie ?od proceeded to For
Sumter, my first promptings weie t<
command him to proceed to hii
former position, and there to awai
the contingencies presented in hii
instructions. This could only havi
been done with any degree of safeh
to the command by the concurranci
of the South Carolina authorities
But before any steps could possibl;
have been taken in this direction wi
received information dated on tb<
28th iuet, Ibat "the Palmetto flaf.
floated out to the breeze at Castil<
Pinchney, and a largo military forci
went over last night, the 27th, ti
r| Fort Moultrie."
Thus the authorities of Soutl
Carolina, without waiting or askinj
for any explanation, and doubtlen
boiieving. aa you have expressed it
thnt the officer had acted not onl;
without but against my orders, o\
the very next day after the nigh
when removal was made, aeiied by
militsry force two of the three Fedei
al Forts in the harbor of Charleston
and have covered them under th<!
own flig, instead of that of th
United States "
Then be speaks of placing th
Palmetto fUg over the Custom Hous
and Postoffioe in Charleston and othe
evidences of that kind He insist
that his purpose is only defensive and
not hostile towards the property of
the United States

W null In;; Vuriety.
An Immense quantity of wash goods

These materials, formerly considered the
acme of eool simplicity, are now made
into extremely elaborate costumes, so ar?
ranged and trimmed that to really latin

is still to the fore, and gowns of the
ShCSTSSt mnslin are enriched with inser?
tions and edges or motifs of lace of vari?
ous kinds--white, yellow or black?or
are finely embroidered. Mnslin of the
dotted variety is also well represented,
the dots being often replaced by little
bowknotS or geometrical designs of some
sort. Aiming the prettiest of the less ex?
pensive sheer goods is always the finely
Corded dimity, which comes in white,
solid colors and figured styles.
In zephyrs and ginghams stripes are
more seen than plaids, although there
are many attractive colorings in the lat?
ter. Embroidered galatea cloth is among
the novelties, the embroidered motif be?
ing small and detached, sometimes open.
A picture is given of a gown of cream
foulard with a pompadour design. The
skirt has stitched plaits at the top and is
gathered at tho back. A little band ol
galloon simulates a tunic. The back ol
the bodice is stretched, the front being
gathered at the neck and waist. A band
of galloon outlines a yoke, and galloon
also decorates the top of the tight
sleeve* and the wrists. The collar and
belt are of red satin.
