LizcOln's Reply to ithe Virginia Commits
SfOners.

WASHINGTON, April I3.-The Commissioners from
Virginia had pleasant interview with President
Lincoln this morning. The result was simply 8
statement by the President that he will act accord
ing TO the inaugural programme holding the pub
lie property and maintaining the defensive. The
Presidents reply was given in writing. 1t will be
recollected that the Commissioners came here I'M
der Instructions to respectfully ask the President
communicate to the Virginia State Convention the
policy to be pursued in regard to the Confederate
States. ..
AN upprovoked assault on Fort Sumter has beer
made, and shall repress it if can, and take the
places which have been seized, TO the best of my
ability Force, if necessary, will be used"
The reply of the President to the Virginia Com
missioners repeats his purpose to hold, occupy and
possess the property and places belonging to the
Government, and collect the duties on imports but
not to use force, except when necessary, for this
object
IF the war news proves true, shall probably
not withdraw the troops from the seeded States
but shall consider that the forts and property Of
those States yet belong to us. And shall not col
lect duties by armed invasion. do not mean. how
ever, that may not land force to relieve He
reafirms the Inaugural, except about mails.
SECOND DISPATCH.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-In Mr.. Lincons reply &c
the Virginia Commissioners, after expressing his re
greet that the public mind is still uncertain as to
his course, and affirming the policy marked out IL
his inaugural address, he says:
"But if as it now appears to be true, IN the pur-
suit of purpose to drive the United States author
ty from these places, An unprovoked assault has
been made on Fort Sumter, l shall hold myself al
liberty to reposess, if can, like places which had
been seized before the Government was devolved
on me, and in any event. shall, to the best of my
ability, repel force by force.
In case it proves true that Fort Sumter has
been assaulted, as is reported, l shall perhaps
cause the United States mails to be withdrawn
from all the States that claim to have seeded, he
heving that the commencement of actual war
against the Government justifes and possibly de-
mands it. Whatever else may do for the purpose,
shall not attempt to collect the duties on imports
by any armed invasion of any part of the country,
not meaning by this, however, that may not land
force, if deemed necessary, to relieve fort upon
the border of the country"
WASHINGTON, April l4.-The President will Issue
tomorrow proclamation, calling for 5000 militia
TO suppress the combinations in the seeded States
and cause the laws to be Only executed. The first
service will probably be to repossess the forts that
have been sIezed from the Union. The proclama-
ton also convenes Congress on the 4th of July
The War Department is preparing the details to
communicate to the States.

The base and Ubiquitous conduct of the LINCOLN
Government Is equaled only by its migrate hypoc-
racy and perfdy. At the very time when the
country has been filled with protestations of an
earnest desire to maintain speacefulpolcy towards
the seeded States; during all the time that the
country has been filled with Geographic dispatches
announcing the intention the part of the Govern
Enent of surrendering Forts Sumter and Pickens,
while assurances were given to the Commissioners
Of the Confederate States that no aggression or hos
tile steps should be taken it Is now not only in proof
but a matter Of boast by the Black Republican
party that their chief was theoretically engaged in
the infamous work of concentrating all the available
forces Of the Government for the purpose Of vio-
lating every pledge of peace, by the Inauguration
OF civil war.
Let the name of BENEDICT ARNOLD cease to call

The condition of the rebel camp at Manassas
is thus described by a correspondent, Of the N.
o. Picayune
The weather has been intensely hot. fear
we may have much sickness September, if
great attention is not paid to the preservation
of health, The atmosphere is impregnatod
with all kinds of impurit es arising from the
battlefield aud the camp The fetid odors
proceeding from the decsying bodies of men
and beasts, and the offal and filth OF the camp
are enough to produce fevers and epidemics. -
He who has never visited fresh battle field
and camp on grand SCALE Can never imag
inc the immense amount Of decaying matter
scattered about. THIS putrid mass. exposed to
the Burning heats of August and September,
must have very deleter,ous effect upon the
health OF the soldier. The filth at Manassas is
beyond conception No one scenes to consider
what will be the result from ts accumultion
and decomposition. The soldier talks over his
battles, and looks forward to other victories.-
Death is disregarded, and human corps is re-
garded scarcely moro than that OF dumb
beast The General is actively engaged in
planning other campaigns or preparing for de-
tense, and all seem to forget and overlook the
sanitary laws which must be observed to pre-
serve health.
