WASHINGTON, April 3, 1861.
Hon. ROBERT TOOMBS, &c., Montgomery, Ala.:
Much activity to-day in the War and Navy Departments. It is said the Minnesota, at Boston, has been ordered to the mouth of the Mississippi. Powhatan suddenly put in commission to sail next week. Four companies now here—three artillery, one sappers and miners—ordered to New York. Report says these movements have reference to the San Domingo question. Pawnee will not be ready for sea until Saturday.
Our intermediary says they dare not deceive him, as they know we do not rely upon them but upon HIM.
CRAWFORD.
ROMAN.
FORSYTH.
