The order for the evacuation of Fort SUmter has

has been brought to boar upon the President by
the war section Of the Republican party and it is
not unlikely now that the Administration will
throw tho responsibility of the surrender of the
fort upon Major Anderson, as he will soon be COM

On the other hand, it is believed the Administra-
