S. Army, Military Secretary. I have not the least doubt that the above letter pro duced a very disagreeable effect upon General Scott, although not intended by me. I must have appeared too positive to him, and the word " traitor" in connection with the sectional turmoil which then existed, had an unmusical sound to all men of Southern birth. My next letter was to Mr. Seward. NEW YORK, April 14, 1861. Hon. W. H. Seward, Secretary of State. SIR : The surrender of Fort Sumter, which is the conclus...ion of a series of bad things, leaves several ships at liberty, and I know not their destina tion. My secret is not out. Some conjecture Saint Domingo, others Texas and Mexico. Fort Pickens and Fort Jefferson are also among the guesses. I had intended to leave for Washington next Thursday, but now the enterprise will take larger proportions. If it is intended to make all arrangements for a state of war I ought to remain longer. I know what is necessary, and yesterday I wrote to the general what I had done.
