The Republican Press on the Evac-
nation Of Fort SumDteF.
From the Cincincinali COmmcrci

From the Cincincinati Commercial.
We occupy a large portion Of our space this
morning with extracts from the New York
newspapers, respecting the proposed evacuation
of Fort Sumpter Il will be observed that all
who advocate or acquiesce in the policy Of the
abandonment OF the fort, do so upon that it is
military necessity. The latest intelligence will
be found in our letter, by telegraph, from WASH
ington, in which 1t is positively stated that the
thing has been definitely decided upon. When
ever, if ever, the thing is done, the iron will en-
ter the souls of the American people. There IS
reason to apprehend, that in addition to the
sense of humiliation which must be general
among theekiends Of the government, at home,
the effect abroad will be disastrous. The pu6llc
opinion of Europe will necessarily be that TINS
Republic is in hopeless state eoldemorallzatlon. o.
The inexorable military necessity" which IS
proclaimed will be appreciated abroad as a con-
lesion OF the most contemplate weakness on the
part Of our Government; and indeed it would be
troublesome to indicate to the popular under
standing here, that any other view Of the case
is tenabe. There is no Cancellation in the &c
knowledement of the necessity of evacuating
the position in which the pride Of the people is
now bound up. The time for hggling about
measures is now over, and the time for action
has arrived.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser
"If Fort Sumter is given up the contest is at
an end. The revolution in the South is sue
c sSful. The Southern ConIederacy is rival
| Republic on this continent, and the American
Union irrevocably destroyed for lack power
to maintain it,"
.... From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Great surprise, and intense Indignation, as
accused in all quarters on Monday by the dis
patches from Washington, announcing that the
Government had determined to surrender Fort
Sumter. No matter what the reason assigned
for the step-whether the seductive persuasions
OF tho Border Slave States, or the absolute i'm
praeticability, as alleged, OF reinforcing in sea-
son-the fact is regarded as establishing be-
yond peradventure that our Republican Gov
ernment is failure--incapablc of maintaining
ITSELF as il has proved unable to defend the lib
erty, the property, or the lives of it's subjects
against the contemplate slayehoding minority!
The Gazette goes heartily to the work Of find
ing good reasons for the surrender of Fort
Sumter, and denouncing all who venture to
think as they please about the matter--tha it
was worth trying to reinforce, anyhow, but as
it will no doubt be just as earnest on t'other,
tack, if the Administration should yet decide to
reinforce, or as ready to say well done if it shall
surrender all the other forts we shall wait and
see the end of all the fuss. Republican organs,
applicants for office, and expectants OF patron
age must "Trip carefully just now, till the politi
cal eggs are Matched,
From The Larayette (1nd Journal
This melancholy announcement will not meet
a favorable response here. We, OF course
know not the reasons for withdrawing the troops
but will venture the prediction that the nation
auW require them to be satisfactory. We have ne
heart to comment; but will wait patiently fol
further information. If ever truth, and JUS
tice, and right should prevail, we think the
