Especial despatch to the N. Y. Tribune.

WASHINGTON, March IL.
The decision in regard to the withdrawal Of
Major Anderson's command now rests exclusive
ly with the President. He has had the fullest
oral and written opinions of Gen. Scott and the
most skiIlfu officers of the army, and the spoken
and written counsel Of every member Of the
Cabinet. No determination was reached yester-
day. Mr.. Lincoln is fully sensible Of the impor.
tant responsibility which rests upon him, and
will decide finally with the full knowledge that
he is to bear it before the country.
1t is known that after a deliberate inves,igi
ton Of all the facts, the Cabinet, with one eIcep
ton, approve the military judgment Of General
Scott, and yield to it as a necessity which can.
not be avoided. This almost unanimous concur.
renee on the part of men who have been sup
posed to regard this subject from opposite stand
points, and to hold different views of policy for
its treatment, is sufficient to show that there
must be the most sufficient reasons for this cen.

1t the Administration had the power-had an

-ober second thought The eight Slave States
yet true to the Union, have an interest much
greater than ours in the preservation Of the
Constitution and the Union. The only safety
for slavery IL in the Union. Should the Cotton
States remain out, It destroys slavery in all the
Border States. On the other hand it 10 equally
disastrous to the ''institution" and people,
should the whole fifteen Slave States form
black Confederacy. There is neither safety nor
prosperity nor progress anywhere except in the
Union and under the protection Of the Consti'
tuition.
The policy is to give time to the people OF
every section TO cool down-consult their rea-
son and come to rational conclusions
The public mind will settle down upon line
Of policy. There will be either peaceable sep
aration with two Republics, one Slave and one
Free,a peaceable reunion Of the now jarringiand
discovered States, or . forcible putting down
Of the conspirators and punishment of the trait
ors and compulsory restoration Of the Union.
Circumstances will determine to some extent
what is best. The people of the remaining
Slave States will undoubtedly be consulted
They having the greatest interest at stake. The
Free States are loyal and true, ready to act en-
ergetically and promptly. sap
We who have believed different policy the
true one, but having confidence in the integrity
and patriotism OF Mr. Lincoln and his advisers;and
admitting that they may be right and we wrong
that they have better opportunities Of judg-
ing and much fuller view Of our national COM
plications and the troubles which lie in our way,
we have no proper course left TO US but to wait
and see the result and strengthen the hands Of
the government in it's sincere endeavors to re-
store peace to the country. Every good citizen
of every party, should, in this emergency, give
hia voice and support to the government SO long
as its acts and policy are based upon an anxious
desire for the safety and perpetuisy Of our gov
ernment-to save the "Ship and the Cargo"
