EvACUATIoN.-The Washington correspondent
Of the New York Times, writing of the effect Of
the withdraw of troops from Fort Sumter, says
The report of the intended withdrawal of the
troops has scattered CONSERVATION amoDg the
Secessionists. Wigfall, who 10 undoubtedly
honest, however fanatical, expressed the great
est concern on the subject and says if it is done
be and his friends are all ruined
Mason, Hunter, and other secession leaders
are in perfect agony of apprehension that the
report is true. Iii is done, they say there is no
shadow of chance to push secession any fur.
Their, snd every Southern man who favored it
will be tomsbawked.
Andrew johnson freely advises withdrawal
in the present condition Of affairs. He says that
as an original question he would have reinforced
without hesitation, but now the policy is not to
precipitate conflict between the sections, but
to leave it to southern men themselves to deal
with the Disunionists, and to dispose Of them.
While no decision has been come TO ON the
subject, am satisfied that the Administration
will not reinforce at the terrible sacrifice of life
which Gen. Scott says would require. 4
OF course there are divisions of opinion on
this policy Wade says it's surrender, but
many who first doubted its propriety, accept its
wisdom upon reflection.
Andrew johnson says Mr.. Lincoln should have
no false pride on this subject; that his Admins
tration is not responsible for the existing con-
dition of affairs. which makes it wiser now to
withdraw the troops than TO reinforce

Affairs at the National Capital
Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.

Washington, March IA, 1861.
Mr.. Corwin has peremptorily declined the
Mission to Mexico, rendered him by Mr.. Lincoln
Whether be will accept some other appointment
if indeed one is rendered him, remains to be
seen. 1890 JsEr GlE sEF FgG FL e,
The Mission to England seems to be still in
great doubt. The political necessities of the
times have pressed the Importance of this Mis-
sion upon Mr.. Lincoln, and it is therefore that
he holds the appointment under advisement.4 1t
seems quite probable that the Hon. VIM. L.
Dayton Of New Jersey, or Hon. Charles Francis
Adams, will be selected. If either is chosen. il
win most probably be the latter whose qualifica-
tions, aside from his political services, seem to
entitle him to the place. 80 ,as ga.sii sfs.ssneI
J. L. Motley, the well known historian is ur-
ged for the mission to Holland. Mr. Lord and
Mr. Thayer, both correspondents here, are named
prominently for the Consulships at Alexandria,

The order for the evacuation of Fort Sumter
has been issued. Dispatches from the South
state that special messenger passed through
Petersburg, Va, and Raleigh, N. G., with dis
patches from this Government to Major Ander-
son. 1t is further alleged that the garrison will
be transported hither by railroad, instead of by
6peClai steamer.
The Charleston Courier of Monday morning
contained dispatch from here, stating that the
evacuation would take place. This seems to be
the very frat journal to announce it.
The Charleston papers received to-day propose
q grand celebration in honor of the event.
Gen. Scott has convinced great many Re-
publicau Senators that there Was no alternative
left but the withdrawal Of the garrison, and the
report of the special board Of army officers fully
confirms his statement in every particular
An important and lengthy Cabinet meeting
was held to-day. The os'ensibie question under
consideration was the collection of the revenue.
Should the Administration resolve upon the
collection of the revenue in the seeded States,
IN ira session Of Congress is necessary, and
therefore this was the principal subject Of dis
cussiop. 1t seems that the only law in force is
that of 1899, which requires the Collector to be
resident in the district from which he is APP
pointed, and that he must collect the revenue on
shore. No provision is made for collecting it
on the outside of the harbor by revenue cutters
In 1888 it was necessary to pass force bill for
collecting !; within Charleston hsrbor. Under
the operations Of the new tariff act, the labor of
collecting the duties will be greatly increased,
rendering it quite difficult except on land This
whole question, from necessity, must be decided
in very brief time. CSC, 30 st

The Empire City, which left her dock on Sat-

The Star of the West had nearly finished her

Mr.. SEwARD's PEACE PoLICY-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore American
writes:
The understanding this evening Is that the
evacuation of Fort Sumter is the first movement
in the peace policy of Mr. Seward and is made
in advance of any demand on the Administra-
ton, as peace offering to the excited South,
and in acknowledgment of the Union sentiment
of the Border States. The mode of evacuation
is said to be confded to Major Anderson, who is
to notify the military authorities of South Caro-
lima that on certain day fixed, he shall with
draw from Sumter, leaving it in possession of
corporal's guard, merely for the protection of the
property. 1t will then remain with the Carroll.
mans as to whether they will leave i, thus tactly
in the possession ofthe United States, or demand
a surrender from the guard, take down the
American flag and run up the Palmetto, or ra-
Their the seven stars and stripes.
The rumor gives much dissatisfaction to the
extremists Of the North, as it does also to the
Secesionists. It will probably be followed by
refusal to treat with the Southern Commission
ers, or to receive them in any other capacity
than private citizens Of their respective States.
To the Union men from the Border States it
gives general satisfaction, and is regarded as
erincing disposition for concession and peace
that will strengthen the Union ranks in all the
Southern States, from the Potomac to the Gulf
The Secessonists intimate that it is an act of
cowardice, and the Northern extremists boot the
proposition as humbling the nation to the de.
mand of armed traitors.
Mr.. Stewards policy is that secession will die
out if left to ITSELF and all irritating non.essen-
tials avoided by the Government He thinks
that if the people in the Cotton States have no
cause to concentrate their luminosity against the
Government at Washington it will soon develop
itself against the Government at Montgomery
