From wa.h.nrten.

WAsHNGToS, March 19-The Southern Commits
sioners expect no answer to their communication
for ten or twelve days. They believe, meanwhile
the military status in the seeding States will remain
unchanged. They have received telegraphic as
suranees from Montgomery Of ample arrangements
to avoid trouble at Fsrt Pickens
Orders have been forwarded for the evacuation
of Fort Sumter.
The Herdd's Charleston dispatch says Major An
derson's command will leave by steamer Columbia.
Saturday.
France and Spain will recognize the Southern
Confederaey. No reconstruction even by the er>
tinction Of the Republican party, viii restore the
South to the Union. Commander Ingraham aud
Capt. Harssein have left on secret service. Some
excitement is caused by the appearance of a Nor
thern steamer. The Excel was left to reconnoitrs.
The Tribune says Carl Schurz has been offered
the Portuguese or any South American mission. It
also says that since Gen. Beaureguard took charge
of the Charleston military, Anderson hes been de-
prived of communication with the city.

The Governments Under Which we Now
Live.

The people of Virginia must realize the bu-
initiating and alarming fact that they are living un-
der Black Republican rule; the rule of men who
"would as soon see conhagration sweep over the
land or an earthquake sink it, as to protect the
STAKEHOLDER in his right of property. Just look at
the caste of the committees of the Senate as they
were reported on Friday last Sumner, of Massa-
chusetts heads the Committee Foreign Relations;
Fessenden, of Maine, the Committee on Finance;
Wilson, of Massachusetts,, Military Affairs; Hale.
of New Hampshire, OF Naval Affairs; Wade, Of
Ohio, on Territories; and to the end of the
chapter. Thus il is manifest that the LIncoln-Sew-
ard President has the Senate entirely cat his heels
and that the Government which intended TO
provide for the common defence and to promote the
general welfare of the slave well the free
States, is to be made the mere instrument of the
degradation and oppression of the former. Will
old Virginia the proud mother of States and states
men, be an unreslsting victim of Northern cupidity
and tyranny! Will she allow the brand of disgrace
to be placed on her forehead by the Stewards the
Sumners the Wilson's and the Haes who rule the
councils of the Northern Confederacy. No Her
pride of lineage forbds it. Her memory of the
past he appreciation OF the present her love Of the
future, ALL all forbid it She will yet proclaim trump
sttongued TO her enemies that Virginia Is what Vir
ginia scas.

The Tariff.
The MORRILL, Tariff, as it is called, passed by the
last session of Congress, to give good deal
of dissatisfaction. The New York EUsr1sg Post says
it is calculated to bear very injurously upon the
commerce of the country, to harrass and annoy
merchants at every STEP and to impede and obstruct
all movements of our manufactures toward an en-
largement of their operations. The Post gives the
rate as fixed by the new law on several articles,
about which there has beed much uncertainty, as

that the line of policy pursued by these Banks has

"The supply of Money largely in excess of the de-
