FROM WASHINGTON.

Washington, March al am certain tina
the President and majority Of the Cabinet ar
satisfied that an extra session of Congress is in
!, levitable, and / have reason to believe that th
President win issue a proclamation in few
days sl,mmonng Congress to assemble, allowing
the legal time of sixty days to intervene between
the date of the proclamation and the meeting 0
) Congress. This is not only deemed necessar,
: by the demand Of the great commercial interests
in consequence of the dissatisfaction growing OH
of the construction of the Morrill, tariff but il
consequence of the contemplated operations O
the Administration in evacuating Fort Sumter
and reinforcing Fort Pckens at Pensacola, both
of which he determined upon, as well as the
collection of the revenue.
The forts at Tortugas and Key West having
already been reinforced with troops from Texas
much to the surprise Of the Commissioners and
other Secessionists now here, the Administration
policy seems to be to follow this work up by
throwing troops into Fort Pickens at Pensacola,
without delay, which will be done at whatever
cost.
| It is reported that Henry Winter Davis of
Maryland, will be appointed Minister to China.
Orders are sent South and West to seize upon
all goods brought into the loyal States through
the seeded ports. This it is argued will put
an end to smuggling free goods into the free
Ceatoo. III Case Tue OOutneTu COuleueFaCy Is
acknowledged the New York merchant will still
cell his imported goods to the Southern buyer,
at the same charge goods are now sold to Cana
dian traders. By similar arrangement the
New York importer will selfhis goods to South
ern merchants out of the warehouse, they pay
ing no duties here.
A strong impression prevails here that the
Secretary of the Treasury will not accept the
bids for the proposed loan unless within small
fraction of fair market rates.
1t is said that no uneasiness is felt by the
Confederate States Commissioners either as to
the evacuation of Fort Sumter or the reinforce
ment of Fort Pickens, and they are satisfied on
both points
Ama "A proposition has been made by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, and
is now under the consideration of the Post office
Department., to change the schedule SO as to
secure the arrival of the mails at Washington
and the South earlier than now, and thorough
connection at New York with the several steam
ers for Boston and New England generally
Similar advantages are to inure to the West
The change is to take effect on the 10Th inst. )
provided the Southern lines arrange accordingly.
The Commissioners from the Southern Con-
federacy disbeeve the rumors in the press rela-
tive to the reinforcement of Fort Pickens, and
have so advised their government at Montgom-
cry. Commander Pendergast, named in one of
these reports as ordered to land men at Fort
Pickens, is at Norfolk, instead of Pensacola.
1t is believed that the heavy bidding for the
loan to-day was mainly in consequence of as
surances from high quarters of pacific policy
on the part of the Administration.

| GOVERNOR HoUsToNs PROTEST. General
Houston has issued a lengthy address to the peo-
| pie of Texas, reviewing the proceedings of the
State Convention, which passed the ordinance
of secession and declared his seat vacant He
refuses to take the oath of allegiance to the new
government, or recognize it, because he believes
it has derived none Of the powers it has assumed
either from, the people or the Legislature. The
address concludes as follows:
citizens, think not that complain at

~
1 III another, caInpGn will be found serie
of resolutions adopted by Mass Convention O
Frederick County, in this State, composed Q
men Of all parties without regard to party lines
1t will be seen from the resolutions that thi
Convention declare undying attachment to tn
Union, and at the same time claim and demand
their Constitutional rights under the Govern
ment. The Convention was of opinion that NJ
cause has yet arisen sufficient to justify disso
luton of the Union and while they would pre-
serve the country and the government from
destruction at the hands of the Secessionist, they
would with equal force and determination OPP.
pose the aggressions of the fanatic of the North
They further believe that under existing circum-
stances secession is not the proper remedy fol
our complaints but that strong fight, firm
fight and fight together-at the ballot-box-
IN the Union-is more likely to prove efectual
than all the efforts which can be made ont OF
the Union, and for this purpose they propose a
Convention, to be hold in the city of Baltimore,
On Thursday the ID day of May, 1861. Said
Convention to be composed of Union delegates
from all the counties and the city Of Baltimore.
Now, SO far as standing firm by the Union is
concerned, we certainly endorse the idea, with
our former qualification, which is this: While
we yet stand firm, believing that all proper
rights and guarantees will sooner or later be
awarded us; yet, if they be not granted, after
proper means have been tried and sufficient time
given for the people to act, we record our hum
bic voice in favor of-anything you please,
which undoubtedly gives us our just rights and
security. II the question can be adjusted and
the Union saved, the object sought surely should
enlist the sympathes, the energies and efforts of
every patriot in the land. We surely think that
he who would destroy this Union without an
effort to preserve it on equitable principles is at
least lacking in old fashioned patriotism.
The great difficulty, however, in such mea-
sures, is this, that parties frequently run into
extremes before they are aware of it. One
party adopts an anti-Union, or Secession plat
form, and see all things in Secession light
Another party combats the 6rst and if they are
moi careful they run into the other extreme and
90 for the Union under all circumstances. To
neither of these can we subscribe. Give lis an
equitable, Constitutional Union, wherein all are
equal and the rights Of all and each respected
and protected, aud we will stand by it to the
death, ct uice versa.
