A New sensatlon---Fort sumte~

From the tenor Of our dispatches yester-
day, special and regular, we are not at lib
erty to seriously doubt, that it is the inten-
ton of the Administration to withdraw Ma
ior Anderson from Fort Sumter, and to per-
nit the authorities of South Carolina to
take peaceable possession of that stronghold.
The reason for this course is said to be
founded upon the necessity of the case.
The fort must either be reinforced, and sup
piled with provisions within few days, or
abandoned. To reach it, without battle,
would, of course. be impossible, and to
force an entrance would require large
force, say ten thousand men. A collision
at that point would, in all probability, be
the beginning of a general civil war; and
this the National Government seems to
think it can, under the circumstances, afford
to avoid, especially as the withdrawal of the
troops from Fort Sumter would assure the
country of the peaceful intentions of the
Administration. It is not to be denied
however, that whatever may be said on the
score of expediency, the people generally of
the North will look upon the movement as
an act of humiliation OH the part of the Gov
eminent, and they will hardly become rec
onciled to the policy, unless future events
shall fully compensate for this concession
to the demands of the revolutionists. It is
not to be doubted, however, that the evac-
uation of Fort Sumter, while greatly dimIn-
ishing, if not entirely removing the danger
of civil war. would accomplish more than
any policy that could be adopted, to weaken
the strength of the secessionists in the Bor-
der States. and to strengthen the Union
feeling throughout the entire South. How
ever much our feelings on the subject might
lead us to desire different kind of treat,
ment for the South Carolina rebels, we are
not prepared to dispute the wisdom of the
Administration, in measure looking to the
continuance of peace, and an ultimate peace
full adjustment of our national troubles

M Iineoln.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times writes as follows of the
personal habits and views of the President
elect: -
Mr.. Lincoln is not whst is technically
known as 'sChristian"-that is, he does
not hold fellowship With any particular
church, has not made any public profession
of faith, or announced his adherence to any
sect or dogma-still he is good man. He
does not sit in the seat of the scorner. MOI
does he walk with the uugodly. or run riot
with the pleasures of the world. His
word" say his neighbors. sis as good as
bis bond, and his note needs no indorser."
He is truthful, regular and temperate. To-
bacco and strong drinks are tabooed from
his bill Of fare. He is generous and open
handed; be loves the good and despisss the
evil. and he has never yet been detected in
mesnness. profanity or breach of hon
or. He processes to entertain a profound
conviction that this country is in the hands
of God, the Maker and Ruler of all men;
that all things are ordered BY His hand. and
that to Him alone can he, as President OF
this people. look for aid, guidance, and ulti-
mate success. If these things are so, what
better leader do we want?
