NAsHINGTON, Nov. I2th.-As far as can
be ascertained there is no disposition on the
part of the President or of gentlemen OF
political prominence here to interfere in the
present Southern movement, except perhaps
in a friendly spirit. 1t is now probable that
the President will soon issue an address or
proclamation, as the election of the delegates
to the South Carolina convention is to take
place at an earlier day than was recently
anticipated, and as in consequence there
would not be time for the general circula-
tion Of an appeal through the annual mes
sage, as was originally contemplated. Such
is the fear that Washington will not be
continued the seat of Government, that the
value of real estate has been sensibly affect
ed by the Secession movement.
portion OF the money seized by Gen
Degollado, short time ago, from the con-
ducta to TampcO is on the way to New
York for the purchase of arms and ammu-
milton, through the same party, who for the
last two years has been sending similar
supplies to the Liberal army.
1t is understood that Hon. Tom. Corwin
of Ohio, can if he WILL occupy prominent
position in Mr.. Lincolns cabinet, and in
case of his declining to do so, an invitation
will be given to Thomas Ewing, or Vinton
of the same State. Mr. Graham, or Badger,
of North Carolina, is also confidently
mentioned in this connection.
The President to-day informed Thaddeus
Hyatt that the land sales in Kansas could
not be postponed, but that such was the
construction of the law that actual settlers
would be allowed to re-file their pre-emp-
ton claims, and should not be disturbed in
their possessions. The President said that
some of the settlers had acted very badly,
but that they were nevertheless haman be-
ings, and should be relieved and protected
He gave credence to Mr.. Hyatt's represen-
tations as to their suEerings. He would
appeal to Congress in their behalf as an
earnest of his sympathy. The President
headed a subscription list with a check for
one hundred dollars
