From Washington.


Disnatches were received by the War Depart
ment this morning, from Major Anderson when
contradict rumors that he apprehended an at
taak. and relieved some other misgivngs az 10
his eituation. All the recent correspondence pe-
tween him aud Gov. Pickens has been Tar more
friendly tkan heretofore, and no UNUSUAL prepara-
tiops have been made which indicate any present
prrpose of collision. The coast guard OUTSIDE ana
in IN, hsrIor of Charleston has been considerably
;ncreased by gun-boats, which exercise constant
surveillance and are intended to prevent rcgn-
fcrcemcnts. In Maj Anderscn's Judgment, this
force is sufficient for that purpose.
PLAN FOR REINFORCEMENT.
A plan was organized some time ago under
the direction Of Gen. Scott for sending IN sup
plies Of men and provisions, which can be mo'eu
at few hours notice. Two steamers oil llght
draft form the proposed expedition, and gal
liant officer OF the navy has volunteered to con-
duet Il in safety to Fort Sumter. Anderson ia
not allowed to procure any more meat and vege-
tables from Charleston than will last from one
market day TO another. No stock of -four and
other necessarics has been obtained, and in these
respects he is worse off now than two months ago;
aud as Governor Pickens might cOuutermsnd the
the present privilege at any moment, his position
Is necessarily precarious. and must sooner OF
later he relieved.
THE CABINET.
Commissions for the new Cabinet were issued
from the Department of State this morning
whore Gov. Seward met Mr.. Black by appoint
meut at O'Clock. Judge Nelson attended ard
swore in Secretaries Bates and Smith, who only
were present. They both entered upon duty i'm
mediately afterward. AT later hour in the
day, Gov. Chase called upon Secretary Dix at
the Treasury with whom he had conferred last
night, to announce his acceptance and assume
charge of the department. Mr. Blair was On
eaged in the Supreme Court I'll day, and could
not enter upon his new office. Gen. Cameron
called upon Secretary Holt at O'Clock 10 re-
quest that he would remain in Office few days
longer, TO enable him to visit Pennsylvania and
arrange his private affairs previous to removing
here. AL the Cabinet, with this exception, VII
be at their posts tomorrow.
VISITING TIE NEW MEN.
Delegations from Indiana, Maine. Vermont
Ohio, AID other States visited the President TO.
DAY, and we're welcomed with his usual urbanity.
They afterward called upon Secretary Holt and
other functionaries. While Messrs. Holt, Dix
and Stanton have received marks of attention
from many Of these delegations, in compliment TO
their services, not one has been offered TO Mr..
Tcuoey from any quarter.
TIE SOUTHERN COMMISSIONERS.
The Commissioners sent By Jefferson Davis
cannot be.receiyed in any official capacity; they
knew that before starting, and only came fer the
purpose of being refused. Mr.. Crawford, ex-
member from Georgia. who arrived on Monday |
night, was among the most violent extremists in
the Houee and is little adapted for any ouch ne
sotiation, II it could be entertained. The Inau- |
gural denies the fact Of disunion, and therefore |
concludes the question which these Commission |
srs came TO discuss.
TROOPS IN WASHINGTON.
The military force low stationed here and |,
rendered necessary by thrests preceding the in |
suguratOn, must either be dispersed or increased.
It is insufficient for the defense Of the capital If
that be tie object should an organized demon !
ssrstion be designed by Virginia or Maryland, or
both. If fine occasion which called for this pre-
caution has passed, it ought to be removed.
THE FIRST m1N1sTER.
Slines has drawn the first diplomatic prize IN
che person of n. B. Judd, as Mnhter to Berlin,
Hermann Kreisman of Chicago goes as secre-
tary Of legation. This is good beginning for
the Presidential State.
CROWDiNG VIRGINIA OUT.
Mr. BOtsier Of Virginia, and others Of Ike
position have written to Richmond urging imue
date and unconditional Secession. They do not
complain so much of the inaugural as of ts al
legged Interpretation through the Cabinet. If Sc
eossiOn be submitted to the people, it viii be re-
jected overwhelmingly.
PROTEST AGAINST RECOGNITION.
Mr.. Black recently addressed circular letter
10 all foreign Governments protesting in decided
terms sgainst the recognition Of the COnfsdN---
ssates as an independent o." or,,,or, ana ossian.
ing the reeson al length which induced the re-
rnOnstrszce. The protest will, of course, be
renewed, and, perhaps, emphasized, by the
present Administration, 90 that when Mr.. Yaoeey
and bic diplomatic colleagues get abroad, they
may discover that recognition By tho Great
Powers Is less easy than was supposed at Mont
gomery.
SENATE DISCUSSION.
A discussion occurred to-day in the Senate on
the printing Of the Inaugural, which elected some
expressions that are worthy of note. Mr.. Cling
man denounced il as war document, intended
10 provoke a collision with the South. Nj.
