THE MILWAUKEE POSTMASTER.
The Postmaster at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has
refused to honor draft of the Department for
a 600 and thus forfeited his official position.
No explanation has been given of thus default
:" and a special agent must be sent out immedi-
ately TO take possession of the Office in accord
81 ance with the regulations Of the Department.
These defslcations are expected to multiply be-
fore the 4th of March, as they did at the close
of Mr.. Van Burens term.
THE MISSION OF EY.PREsIDENT TYLER.
b E1-President Tyler had another interview with
the President to-day, at which he endeavored to
impress upon him the policy of non-actiOn on the
part of the Government in regard to the public
property in the Southern States. Any movement
looking to the protection of such rights is depre
Gated by the South as likely to provoke collision
and inaugurate civil war, while the seizure Of
forts, arsenals, aud arms by their authorities is
to be overlooked entirely. This is substantially
the policy which Mr.. Tyler recommends, and to
which Mr.. Buchanan really subscribes. Ii was
only yesterday that the arsenal at Augusta was
taken by the secessionists, and notice is taken
of the fact.
ANOTHER HUMBUG EXPLODED.
All statements representing that England will
recognize the projected Cotton Confederacy or
any other extempOrized by secession, are wholly
unfounded, and cODtrsdIcted emphatically by the
beet intelligence here 1t is positively known that
all the great Powers have signifed their Oppo-
sitiOn to this project, and every Foreign Minister
here condemns it without qualification. Euro
pean Governments cannot interfere in this do
nestle question without involving serious hazards
which they are not disposed to incur
THE SOUTHERN POsT-oFFICEs.
The following letter expresses the spirit which
new animates some of the branches of the pub
Lie services

"nORATIO KING,
First Assistant Postmaster General.
%" JoaS C. NOsLr, esq, PSdncsh KY"
This was the first stern example, and it is
due to Mr.. Holt to cay that be made it of one
whom he had himself mistakngly appointed.
Gen. Dix and others announce the same rule Of
conduct, but they have not yet carried it out.
CONSULTATION.
A limited conference was held last night, at
which Messrs. Crittenden, Douglas, and two Re
publican Senators were present, with view of
considering some common basis Of adjustment
that might be shaped TO satisfy these various in-
terests. They did not agree upon plan, but
separated with good understanding.
MR. NELSON'S SPEECH.
Mr.. Nelson made much impression on the
House in his candid, telling, and vigorous speech
While he advocated the Crittenden proposition,
he signifed his Willingness to take any other
that would restore peace, and even was ready to
extend the old Missouri line to California. His
exposure of the precpitancy of South Carolina
and the mOtlfco Which oPciatcu W PiVuuOo ~
was very effective. He announced distinctly that
Tennessee would not be coerced into any such
scheme, and her people were against secession as
q remedy for real or supposed wrongs.
Messrs. MillsOn, Clemens, Etheridge and Mel
son have done much TO correct erroneous i'm
pressiOns, and to show the South how Northern
sentiment and policy had been misrepresented for
sinister purposes. If their speeches were widely
circulated, an extended reaction would be iney-
liable.
VIRGINIA.
All sorts of expedients and Misrepresentation
will be employed to carry Virginia for Secession
The false dispatches Of Mr.. Toombs and others
on the eve Of the Georgin election, were mainly
instrumental in securing that State. This game
Is to be repeated on q large scale, and portion
of the Virginia delegation have already issued an
inaammstory address for this purpose.
THE CONTROvERsY-ITs SETTLEMENT.
There is q growing disposition among Repubh.
cans to effect settlement Of the present contro-
yersy on any fair basis which viii nos require
Slavery to be established or protected south Of
the Missouri line. That point win not be con-
ceded, and without this concession, the South
seiuses to be satisfied.
KENTUCKY AND NORTH CAROLINA.
The refusal Of Kentucky to hitch on to the
disunion car, causes much commotion among the
conspirators, and is another blow leveled at Mr..
Breckenridge, who, with Messrs. Powell, Steven
