LINCOLN'S REPLY TO THE VIR-
GINA COMMISSIONERS.

WAsHINGToN, April 13.-In Mr. Lin
coins reply to the Virginia Commission
ers, after expressing his regret that the
public mind is still uncertain as to his
course, and reafirming the policy marked
out in his inaugural address, he says =
'But if Gas now appears to be true) in the
pursuit Of purpose to drive the United
States authority from these places, an un-
provoked assault has been made on Fort
Sumter, | shall hold myself at liberty to
-repossess, if l can, ike places-whieh had
been seized before the government was
devolved upon me /; and, in any event, |
shall to the best Of my ability repel force
by force.
"ln case it proves true that Sumter has
been assaulted, as is reported, l shall per-
haps cause the u. S. mails to be Withdrawn
from all the States which claim to have
seeded, believing that the commencement
OF actual war against the United States
Government justifes and possibly demands
it. Whatever else | may do for the pur-
pose, | shall not attempt to collect the
duties By any armed invasion of any part
OF the country-not. meaning by this,
however, that 1 may not land force, if
deemed necessary, to relieve fort upon
the border OF the country.

THE PLAN FOR RELIEVING FORT
SUMTER.

The plan for provisioning Fort Sumter
was based upon the fact of unusual high
tide in Charleston harbor on the 10Th,
1lth and 18th, which would enable steam
tugs to float over the shoals, out of reach
of the rebel batteries on Morris Island
The storm delayed the vessels, and when
they arrived it was too late The ships
of war were simply to lie outside and
protect the transports from the rebel YES
sells that might be sent to stop their pas
sage over the shoals.
