From Washington.
Washington. March II.

Washington, March ! i.
Reports prevail of the contemplated evacuation
of Fort Sumter, but up to O'Clock to might the
President Ia given no order fer that purpose -
Gentlemen ofprominence, however. say they have
information that satisfies them that such a course
will from necessity be persued.
The Commissioners from the Confederation
States did not see the Secretary of State to-day.
but will probably make formal application for an
interview to morrow.
The Washington CORE spondent of the n Y
Tribune says:
1t is rumored that D. W. c. LittIejohn. Speak
err of the House of Assembly o. New York, has
been appointed Consel at Liverpool. and that Mr.
Vesey, formerly Consul at Havre, has been ap-
pointed Consul at Aix-la Chapello
Commodore Steward has tendered his resigna-
ton as the Flag Officer of the Navy. He takes
occasion to review the p eceediag Of tie Honora-
bic Board which dismissed him with much feeling
and effect Ofcourse the resignation will not be
accepted, and the Secretary will doubtless make it
the occasion of complimentary request for his
continuance in the service.
1t is proposed to station We sscl ofwar outside
ofCharleston harDor to collect the revenue
Amos Tuck has been nominated Naval officer of
Boston, and Mr.. Phillips Collector of Salem
The New York Tribune correspondent also
telegraphs that the rumors about Fort Picksns be-
ing given up, are entirely nniounded. The for
tress can be reinforced and it viii be.
An extra session of Congress is likely to be soon
Called TO supply the omissions Of the last, and en-
able the Administration to assert the authority of
the Gov eminent. The policy will probably be
TO repeal the laws max ing the Ports Of the seeding
States ports Of foreign entry, and ts station Ma
tional vessels thereat, to prevent foreign impor-
tation.
The Forts at Key West and rortu.as cannot be
given up, because they may be easily reinforced,
and are Of a national mportane in a military and
Commercial aspect. Fort Slmpter involves a
point Of honor only.

RETUNED HoME.-Ths Legislature having ad-
jouIned on Mond ay last, our friend Packard has
returned home. From his supporters and con-
sttuents generally, he receives the welcome plau-
dit Of "well done, thos good and faithful ser

He is in fine healti, and spirits, and is satisfied
that the Democratic party. though in the mi
nority, has made good record. His course in the

HAS DONE WILL.

Mattingly is blowing considerable about tae
present Trustee Of this Township, as to the
amount Of service he has rendered, and the small
charges he has made for the same. This, most
likely, Is done TO make Mr.. Kelly feel all right,
who has done so weI that they will let him off
W tn one term. This will be joke on the gentle
man, after having discharged the duties of his Of
hce probably for considerable less than they were
worth. Although he has been such very good
Trustee, and charged so moderately, yet we will
take the lager on it that they will not run him
again. Who takes the stock If they do drop
hin, it will be an evidence Of their appreciation
of good, cheap officer. Kelly will retire from
public life. we predict notwithstanding he has held
30 many elections. and built school house. Ii is
thought by some that he did not lose anything in
rendering the last named service

LINCOLN AND HIS POLICY.

Last week we had not time 10 comment upon
President Lincolns Inaugural, farther than to say
that it, Of itself, aid not mean anything or in
other words, there particular line of policy
marked out in it, and stated that time alone could
give it Interpretation, what the President
ia:ended TO do.
That document highly applauded and fully
endorsed by several classes of politicians from the
fact that it contained quite namber of words and
expressed but very few deas-took both sides of
the question, and then wound of by saying that
the Adninistrs ton would be governed by TIE con
tingencies that might arise.
The r,bd Republicans thought il was Just the
thing. aud said that all the forts and other prop
srty taken possession of by the seeding States,
would be re-taken by Lincoln, and the revenue
collected. The more conserv alive members of
the Republican party Thought wise counsels would
prevail, and the best thing possible for the country
would be done. The Northern Democrats, many
of them, regarded it as very conservative paper,
and expressed themselves III accordance with that
opinion, while the seeding States regarded it as
declaration of In short, it a two-sided,
non-eommittal document, and satisfied no one par
". eiltir ely, and battered all a little.
Ii the telesra ph reports that we publish else
where, that there Is probability that orts Sumter
and Pickens 10 be vacated, prove true then the
conservative men of all sections Of tie country

bes. We are none Of those who take telegraphlc
reports for at first sight neither do we give
he present Administration a. great credit fer pa
triotism IN the rurnored guaranteeing OF those
forts. We shall no firmly believe hat it is the
patriotism Of Mr. Lincoln that has induced him to
take sach step until We have further evidence Of
the las t, if il proves to be such If he does = at
all, he viii make virtue out OF necessity, as the
