EVACUATION OF FORT SUMTER.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Times cUrroborates the report that the
immediate necessity of settling the question
whether Fort Sumpter shall be evacuated or
reinforced, grows out of the fact that there is
only a limited supply of fresh provisions in
the Fort and it must either be supplied or
abandoned very soon. The Times correspon-
dent SAYS:
Gen. Scott advices that reinforcements can
not now be put in without an enormous sacri-
fee of life. OF course his views on the subject
cannot be known officially to the public, but
he is understood to say that we ave neither
military nor naval force at hand sufficient to
supply the Fort against the threatened oppo-
stion, which it would require twenty thousand
men to overcome. Besides if it should initiate
civil war, in addition to uniting the South and
overwhelming the Union sentiment there in the
waves of passion, it would require two hun
dred and fifty thousand Government soldiers
to carry on the struggle, and hundred millions
of money to begin with. In such an event,
twenty thousand men would be needed to pre-
serve Washington and the Government ar
chives.
The general impression here on the streets
is that the Administration has determined on
Withdrawing the troops from Fort Sumpter,
leaving only one corporal two men and tie
Stars and stripes, compelling the chivalry to
capture the Fort after all. They have been
threatening TO do it for three months, and fail
ed when there were only about seventy men in
it. They may have an opportunity to accom-
plish it against only three
Southern Union men express the earnest
hope that the Administration will pursue such
a policy as will render it unnecessary to send
Federal troops South. II that is not done,
they say the pressure brought about by seces-
SION is pushing on a reaction in the Southern
mind which will sweep the Secessionists into
oblivion. They fully expect to have an armed
conflict in Texas, but prefer that in should be
between the Unionists and Disunonsts of the
South. All the Union men ask is the privilege
of whipping out their own traitors
heared dis inguished secessionists confess
tonight that if Mr. Lincoln does withdraw the
troops from Fort Sumpter, secession is dead
and every leader in the movement ruined. On
the other hand it is feared that the Withdrawal
will be misun. erstood in Europe and have
bad effect there. The whole question is ex-
ceedingly embarrassing.
