WASHINGTON, April Sit was deter.
mined at a meeting of the Cabinet, that
the reply of Mr.. Seward to the Commis,
sioners of the Confederate States, should
be respectful and courteous in tone, but
that the existence of de tacto Govern
ment at Montgomery must be ignored; that
he must refuse to receive the Com mission
ers officially, but invite them to call as pri,
vate gentlemen.
All three of the Commissioners are now
in the city, and held meeting soon after
the communication was received announcing
the intention of the Administration
LArER.-9.30 p. m-The Confederate
Commissioners have received a reply from
the Administration, declining to receive
them. They will return home in about a
week
Hon. J. NJ Bolts urges the President to
call National Convention, and in event Of
its failure to do justice to the Confederate
States, to recognize them-the latter in the
meanwhile to abstain from making any trea
ties with foreign Governments.

EFFORTS OF THE ABoLITIoNIsTs -
When the abolition agitation first began in
this coantry-about the time of the emanci.
patton of the negroes in the West Indies, by
the British Government-many Southern
statesmen aud newspapers gave the persons
engaged in it fair warning, that its only ef,
feet would be to render the situation of the
slave more uncomfortable, and that it could
not have the slightest effect in procuring
him his liberty. This has proved to be
true. The laws against the black popula-
ton in the slave States-5oth bond and
free-are everywhere stricter than they were
at the commencement of the agitation
stricter than they ever would have been had
it never taken place
But that is not the whole of it. The abo.
litionists have strengthened the institution
in manner never dreamed of by the South
ern States themselves They have acccm-
plisbed the couquestof Hayti by Spain, and
the possible reduction of the whole Island
to slavery. BY dissolving the Union they
have brought the Governments of Europe
face to face with slavery: and forced them
to choose whether they will risk revolu-
ton at home, from the withdrawal of the
entire supply of cotton, or acknowledge the
institution of slavery at once There can
be no doubt which horn of the dilemma they
will choose Even now, the British Gov
erument is becoming reconciled to the ex-
istence Of slavery, and the probability is
that they have already recognized the inde-
peudeuce of the Confederate States, and
made treaty with them. There is as lit
tie doubt that France has done, or will do,
the same thing. The reopeniug of the Afri-
can slave trade will follow as necessary con-
sequence, and that, in its turn, will be fol-
lowed BY the reduction of Mexico once more
under the yoke of Spain, and the restitu-
ton of slavery throughout that extensive
country. Truly, the philanthropists have
made handsome work of it.-Richmona

RETURN OF CAPT. T. BoT.-Capt.
T. Talbot, who left Fort Sumter on the
5th instant, ostensibly to Eli an appoint
ment in Oregon, returned last evening to
this city, in company with one Mr.. R. S.
Chew, acting in the capacity of peculiar,
and, as yet, undisclosed, character. On
their arrival, they registered their names
at the Charleston Hotel, the former as Capt
T. Talbot, U. S. A, and the latter simply
as from Washington.
1t appears that whether there was truth
or not in the statement that Capt. Talbot
had been appointed to post in Oregon, the
readers of the Courier will remember that
our dispatches stated on his arrival in Wash,
ington he was closeted with the Cabinet,
and also held a long conference with Gen.
Scott. The result of his departure from
Fort Sumter, however, is that, instead of
repairing to Oregon, Capt. Talbot has re.
turned with dispatches, it is said, for Gov.
Pickens and Maj Anderson Shortly af-
ter bis-arrival Talbot had private confer.
ence with Gov. Pickens and Gen. Beaure,
gard.
The result of the conference has not trans,
pired, but it is we'll known that Talbot and
his companion received no permit to visit
Fort Sumter They returned last evening
BY the II o'clock train of the North eastern
Railroad to Washington. 1t is stated, how
ever, in we'll informed quarters, that the
dispatches are to the effect that an unarm'
ed store-ship has been sent to this harbor,
avowedly and in fact expressly stated in the
dispatches, solely for the purpose of victual'
ing and provisioning Fort Sumter.
The vessel conveying the supplies is nc
doubt conveyed By naval force intended
to protect the demonstration, and if need be
to attempt to effectuate it. Every prepara'
ton to meet such an event was Immediate
ly made by the authorities, and orders issu.
ed to the military to be ready to move at
the shortest notice. The guns fired about
eleven o'clock last night were intended as
signal for the military to assemble at their
respective muster grounds.
A private and reliable despatch received
Yesterday in this city from Washington,
states that no attempt at reinforcing Fort
Sumter with men, or to supply Major An
derson with provisions, would be made
without the authorities of the State being
first informed of the fact. That notice has
probably been given last evening by Capt
Talbot Charleston Courier, Sth instant

EX. PRESIDENT BUCHANAN AT WHEAT

correspondent at Lancaster, Pennsylvania,
in which the writer thus refers to Mr.

he is visited by some of his personal friends,
who are treated with the hospitality which

wellinformed country gentleman-'one of

ally be found He discusses little now a.
bout Government affairs, his appetite in re.
lation 20 them, 20 doubt, having long since
been fully satisfied; and quite as little of
prominent and distinguished men, his ex-
perience, like tina. of many others, being
that they are not always the safest counsel

confidence can be reposed. He is evident
ly preparing his mind and disposition for
engagement in those literary pursuits with
which he designs to close up the labors of a
lifetime.

The BEGINNING of the End.

The orders which some dispatches and
accounts have been anticipating for several
days, have now been issued, for the suspen
sion of all supplies between Fort Sumter
and the city. This step is not taken toe
soon, but we believe of the use and i'm
provement we have made by the delay we
cannot say with some that it was deferred
too long. There is reason for believing
that the reports of orders from Washington
for evacuation have only been designed tc
deceive and beguile. Fortunately, they
have failed in that, so far as vigilance and
preparations on the part of the State have
been concerned.
The complication aud difficulties growing
out of the occupation of Fort Sumter, were
caused by an act of Major Anderson, on his
own responsibility and without specific or
ders. 1t seems to be the determination OF
the powers of Government that rule at
Washington, to leave to the same discretion
aud to individual responsibility, the settle.
neut Of this question. We shall soon learn
how he vii! decide under this grave alter
native.
Until further orders from Montgomery,
the usual mail facilities will be continued.
Major Anderson, on receiving the Official
notice from General Beauregard's messen'
ger, intimated that he would forward bis
reply by 9 o'clock this morning. Hestated,
however, that he had anticipated the order
for some time
This, although an important step, does
not necessarily iuaugurate hotilities. 1t will
be remembered that the communication
between Fort Sumter and the city, for two
weeks after the removal of Major Anderson
to Fort Sumter, was withheld from the
garrison, and no supplies allowed to be fur
nished. In Difference to request of South
ern Senators and Representatives, friendly
relations were again restored, and Major
Anderson permitted to purchase and re-
ceive his daily market supplies.
1t is said that the garrison have beer
obliged, for the last few days, to use some
of the flooring for fuel Charleston COu
