ABoctr COMMISSIONERS TO wAsn1SGToN.
Gov. Yates received on Saturday last dis
patches from the Governors Of one or more
States, consulting him in regard to the pro
prict. Of sending committee of five from
each Stale, to be appointed hy the Governor
thereof, to meet in Washington carly in Febru
ary. Gov. Yates gave an emphatic negative te
tho proposition, SO far rs he VAS concerned
and in doing so he is supposed to have reflected
tho opinions OF hr. Lincoln either expressed
or implied. TIC movement is said to 1art
originated in Tennessee
The journal this morning states that Mr.
Lincoln, together with his fanily, will 1eay'
here ct route for Washington on the 11th Q
February, proceed to Indianapolis, Columbus
Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Albany, New York
| 1'hlladu1phia, Harrisburg and Baltimore, an'
arrive at Washington by the eoth. We lear
In addition to this, that he will bc accomp:
nira by Col Edward Y. Sumner Of the Grt
| Cavalry, and Major Hunter Of st. Lonls, bot
ofthe u s. Army, hence to Washington.
The country will be glad to learn that Ill
. Lincoln is looking remarkably vel and ths
! he is In fine health and spirits. No dccisio
will be made rs to who else than Mcssrs. SeE
ard and Bates will compose the Cabinet unit
llis arrival ut Washington. Great regret Is c:
, pressed among Republicans ut The condition
Affairs IN Ohio, which is likely to prevent n
Chasc's taking the TreasurJship under N
Lincoln.
