WASHINGTON DISPATCHES.

WASHINGTON, Marcn O.-Noon.- ue
Inaugural is still the topic of excited couver'
sation among the political quid "uncs in the
hotel halls. The Abolitionists are delight
ed, and say that the "revolted' States will
soon begin to feel that there is Gooern'
naemt in Washington.
Hons Martin J. Crawford and John For.
syth, two of the Commissioners of the Con.
federated States, are both here. have good
reason to believe that Lincoln will hold nc
official intercourse whatever with them
The more violent of the coercionists talk OF
arrestiug them as traitors, but Seward is toe
cunning for that
A special messenger leaves the city tc
3ay for Pensacola. His mission is to an.
nul all the arrangements made by Ex.Sec'
retary Toucey. The Republicans in the
high places say that heavy reinforcements
will speedily be sent both to Forts Sumter
and Pickens.
1t is now pretty generally ascertained
that Mr.. Lincoln did not arrive in Balti
more in the passenger train from Philadel
phia, but that he travelled either in the
freight train or in the freight car of Adam:
& Co.'s Express. This accounts for the
statements of the detective police, that ne
person corresponding with the description
of the President elect came on that trains
on which were the chief of the New Yorl
police, Mr. Kennedy and other experts -
The probability is that he came as freigh
in the package car, accompanied by single
ompanion disguised as a pedlar. Of cours'
it is only matter of taste how gentleman
travels, but in view of Lincoln's position
before the North, it looks very much lik
sacrificing dignity to senseless timidity.
The names of John Sherman, j ohm Hick
man, and John G. Fremont, are spoken o
in connection with the respective mission
of England, Spain and France. Fremou
left for Europe in the last steamer from n
York, and it is said, was offered, before HI
started, place in Lincoln's Cabinet, which
he declined.
The friends of Seward say that he is pre-
pairing plan of policy for the administra
tion looking to the preservation ofpeace; bu
fears are entertained that Chase and Gree
ly will defeat the whole scheme before i
can be laid before the Cabinet, and ruin Sc
ward with his party besides. The impres
sion here is that the new Cabinet is to
incongruous to hold together long.
1t is thought tonight that Hon. J. j
Crittenden will be nominated for the vacan
seat on the Supreme Bench, instead of MI
Black. In that event Mr.. Black will prob
ably feel little blue.
i THE LATEsT.-10, p. nj am reliabl
informed that Lincoln will peremptorily re
fuse to receive the Southern Commission ers
1t is said on the streets tonight that An
dersou has been appointed Brigadier Ger
eral, vice Twiggs, but the rumor needs COL
frmation.
There is terrific pressure here for office
Thousands of Abolition partiots, who ar
anxious to serve their country, have sui
rounded the White House doors all day.
WASHINGTON, March T. Senator
Hemphill and Wigfall have concluded t
remain here until they can receive oficia
notification of the confirmation of the seces
sion of Texas. Their presence here at thi
critical juucture is deemed very desirabl
by Southern men. Messrs. Crawford ant
Forsyth. two of the Montgomery Commis
sioners, held long interview with the Tex
