THE DIsUNION MOVEMENT.

New YORK, March 25.
The Herald's Washington correspon-
dence says: at is believed the program
me of the administration in regard to the
evacuation of Fort Sumpter has been al
tered since the departure of Col. Lamar.
1t is now reported that the evacuation is
to be conditional. Lamar is TO examine
the stock of provisions, and, if the sup
ply is insufficient TO maintain the troops
now there, he will deliver the Presidents
order to Major Anderson to evacuate the
fort.
1t is said that the government has re-
ceiyed advices that Texas has sent CON-
missioners to New Mexico, Arizona, So
nora and Chihuahua to induce the people
thereof to join the Southern Confed-
eracy, and the mission, it is said, is re-
garded favorably.
Dispatches from Fort Pickens state
that the garrison is short of provisions,
aud can hold out but short time. None
but official communication is permitted
at Pensacola, and the squadron can nei-
ther reinforce the fort nor furnish supplies.
Appearances indicate that the government
before long will be compelled to abandon
Fort Pickens to the secessionists."
The Times Washington correspon-
dence says: 81 have just received dis
patch from a gentleman in Charleston
who visited Fort Sumpter this morning.
He states that he found Major Anderson,
taking an inventory of everything, pre-
paritory TO evacuating the fort. He is,
it seems, allowed to exercise his own iudg-
ment as 10 the method of leaving"
The opinion prevails that Major An
derson will evacuate Fort Sumpter on
Wednesday of this week.

Have we q Government


II is not our business 10 defend Mr..
Buchanan's administration, and if il were
we should find il an awfully uphill bust
ness. But We protest against the organs
of Mr.. Lincoln's administration throwing
the responsibility of the evacuation OF
Fort Sumpter upon Mr.. Buchanan. 1t
does not belong there. The reason of the
evacuation, we are told, is, that the Pres
ident cannot command sufficient military
power TO reinforce and hold the fort
Whose fault is it that he has not this
power? Clearly not Mr.. Buchanan's.-
It is clearly the fault of the late Congress,
both houses of aohich ,oere republican
after the withdrawal of the members
from tie seeded States. This Congress
knew, if it knew anything, that the Pres
ident would not have military force
enough at his command to hold that or
any other fort in the seeded States
Why it did not furnish him with this
force we are not able 10 say. We leave
the explanation of that matter to the re-
publican newspaper organs. What we
want, in this connection, is, each admins
tratiou-that of Mr.. Buchanan and that
of Mr.. Lincoln-shall stand on its own
bottom; and if they shall so stand, it is
altogether probable that Mr.. Buchanan's
will appear quite respectable in contrast.
If it shall so appear, what an administra-
ton will Mr.. Lincoln's be!
The evacuation Of Fort Sumpter has
been ordered, not rs measure Of concil-
iation, we arc assured, but rs necessity.
There would have boon some honor in
evacuating it as a peace offering, but to
evacuate it as necessity is indeed humil-
iating. Such is the first act of Mr.. Lin
coins administration Of course the
evacuation of all the other southern forts
must follow, not rs measures of concilia-
ton, but from necessity. The republican
Congress did not arm the President with
power to hold these forts, and the Presi-
dent has not the courage TO call the new
Congress promptly together that it may
arm him with that power. Thus far, GER
tainly, the Buchanan administration
grows respectable by contrast
We trust that the republicans in Con
gross and out of it, and those republican
journals, who have been so anxious to
know whether we haze government,
will now answer their own question:
Gentlemen, have we a goVernmenty-
bet. Free Press.

The successful experiment of Miss Sa-
rah Judson and Niger Joe had so much
influence in Pontiac that white female
lately adopted the sameemethod of OBJ
tanning happiness. She improved on
the Judson theory, however, for, deeming
one darkey certificate of happiness, she
reasoned that duplicate would double
her bliss, and triplet elevate her beyond
calculation into the extatic realm
She accordingly ran away with three
darkeys and went to Windsor, where she
gave herself up to the pleasures of the
festive hour. The funds which she had
accumulated by selling her household ef-
fects during the absence of her husband
were devoted to the delectation of her
sable lovers, and she enjoyed state OF
perfect amalgamation bliss until the
change grew scarce, when the darkeys de-
serted her, and she was reduced 10 the
necessity of earning living.

THE PROGRESS OF INsURRECTION

From Our Special Correspondent. -
! SAVANNAH, Ga, Jan. ii, 1861.
Fvents snrr,,ed each other with such startling
rapidty that each iHorning brings us the udIngs
of acme new outburst on treason, in the form OF
piracy, armed trespass upon United States prop
erty, secession, literal war upon vessels bearing
the Federal flag. Occurrences which two weeks
ago would have thrown the town into fever
would DOW fix the attention Of the people hardly
on hour did not some new version oil the morn
ng's tale continually add fuel to the excitement.
The great event of the week has, Of course, been
the attack upon the Star of the West. On Mon
day there were current rumor that reinforce
ment Of men and munitions had been sent to
Fort Sumter, but the report was denied,
and was not generally credited till shortly
before the news came that the steamer had
been fred on while endeavoring TO enter the
harbor of Charleston. When this last immense
piece Of information arrived, distorted and i'm
probable as were the reported incidents of the
transaction, tho excitement was furious. The
Star of the West had been sunk with all on
board. Fort Sumter had commenced the bonn
bardment of Charleston, and already great part
of the city was in flames. A feet of war-vesses
lowered about the harbor, uncertain whether TO
finish the destruction begun by Nal. Anderson,
or TO proceed along the Southern coast, demol-
isbipe such fortresses as would not surrender
These were some of the flying stories, every one
Of which found many Jealous believers and prop
agandists. The most enthusiastic OF the bre-
eaters, meeting each other in the places OF drink
embraced gave the hot hand OF congratulatlen,
shouted with Joy at the open rupture now made
This looks like business, said they, and exulted
in the thought that they had in time protected
Pulaski, their own fort. Later, when the true
history of the affair in Charleston harbor became
generally known, and the hurry subsidized, some
disappointment was felt that no blood had apPar-
emily been shed, and not q little impotence
showed itself ct the delay which put of the
actual fight. Meanwhile fresh rumors, each hour
replaced, furnished food for talk, and enough
clustering was done in twenty-four hours TO last
an army Of Bobadils lifetime.
Then came the news Of Mississippi's secession,
and the bubbling enthusiasm caused by 1t, and
now, almost while l write the tidings that
Florida and Alabama have gone out Of the Union
give q new impetus to the retail trade In
Whisky-the only trade now aorishing here, and
the people already begin to wonder what will be
the news tomorrow.
The leaders of the Disunion party are in high
glee at the turn Affairs have taken; they have
now no fear that Georgia can be made to 70
trace her stsps b TIE action of TIE Coavsnsoa.
