another officer was dispatched over land 70
to Col. Waite, commanding the troops In
Texas.
Report says that General Bouregard, COM

WASHINGTON, March 17.-It issaid on good
authority that Messrs. Crawford and For
syth, the Commissioner from the Southern
Congress, entertain the strongest hopes Of
preserving the peaceful relations between
the two governments. There is no doubt
their diplomacy is judicious.
1t is estimated that there are between five
and ten thousand applicants, already, for
appointments connected with the Post-offico
Department. The number Of letters daily
received is unprecedentedly large; some
times amounting to six or seven hundred.
Nineteen clerks are engaged in attending to
them. The applicants for employment in the
other departments of the public service arc
c~orrespondiDgly numerous.
The Senate has confirmed the appointment
of Lieutenant Colonel Thomas as Adjusant-
General.
1t is not as yet ascertained that any order
has been issued by Presidential authority in
regard to the evacuation of Fort Sumter,
an event, however, which it is still consid-
cred will soon inevitably occur from circum-
stances beyond the Executive control. From
what is actually known, a formal surrender Of
the post is now anticipated.
G.. A. Hale, of the District Columbia has
been appointed special Postofice Agent for
Maryland and Virginia.
Certain friends of Mr.. OoFwin are still
endeavoring TO induce him to withdraw his
declination of the Mexican mission.
Those best informed relative to Southern
movements, totally discredit the report that
Fort Pickens has been attacked, or such an
act will be likely to occur.
Gov. Roman, one of the Confederate
States Commissioner, telegraphs from Will
mington that he will be in Washington to-
morrow, and that he was detained by indis-
position.
