WASHINGTON, Feb. IA Cabinet officer
stated to day, that if Virginia decided to go
out of the Union, on the 4th of February, a
raid would be Immediately made on this
city, by Virginia forces, and he saw no way
that it could be defended except by an i'm
mediate call upon the other States for vol
unteers. The gentleman who listened to
these startling declarations, although a con-
sentative man, wrote Immediately to the
Governors of these States recommending
them to place their forces in readiness to an
swer a requisition at a moments warning.
1t is understood here that the first move
ment in the Board of Commissioners, from
the States to meet here, next Monday, will
be propositions by Virginia for the with
drawal of the Federal troops from the Capt.
tai of the q. s., guaranteeing that there
shall be no hostile demonstrations affecting
the peace of the Capital.
A Virginian in high standing, and one
who is well posted in regard to the move
ments Of the secession conspirators, declares
with evident sincerity, that there is no
longer any purpose to seize upon the FEEDER
al Capital by force.
Col Hayne will send written commune
cation to the President tomorrow, propos-
ing, in the name of South Carolina, to pay
full value for all Federal property within
her jurisdiction, if the President will cause
Fort Sumpter to be evacuated and the
troops withdrawn. He has no hope that the
proposition will be accepted, and will wait
but a short time for reply.
The President has recognized Mr.. J. De-
bruynkeps as Vice Consul of the Neither
lands, for North Carolina, South Carolina
and Georgia, to reside at Charleston.
Orders have just been issued for the en-
rollment of all persons subject to militia
duty in the District of Columbia.
The boundary dispute which has existed
for so many years between Massachusetts,
and Rhode Island, and which was amicably
submitted to the Supreme Court for its de-
cision, has to-day been prospectively settled
by an interlocutory order to that effect the
papers are to be filed in August next, and
the decree given at the next term of the
court.
The we'll known Gaines case has been set
for argument on Tuesday.
There are about 600 Federal troops in
Washington and vicinity.
Horatio King, first assistant Postmaster
General, has been appointed Postmaster
General.
Col. Hayne has received his dispatches
from Gov. Pickens and has brought the
proceedings of the authorities for the evac-
uation of the public property before the
President.
