WASHINGTON, March 3l.--l am certain TINT
the President and n majority of the Cabinet arc
satisfied that an extra session of Congress is in
evitabe, and have reason to believe that the
President Will isSuf n proclamation in a few
days, summonire Congress to assemble, allow
ing the legal time oNs sixty days to intervene be-
tween the date of tho proclamation and tho meet
ing of'Congress. his is not only deemed ne
cessary by the dcmaud of tho great commercial
interests in consequence of the dissatisfaction
growing out ot the construction of the Morrill,
tariff but in consequence of the CONTEMPLATED
operations of tho Administration i'm evacuntinr
Fort Sumter aud reinforcing Fort Pickens mt
fohsaGoia' both ot which he determined upon,
IA well as the collection Of tho revenue
Tho forts AZ Toru gas and Key West hnvinr
already been reinforced with troops frum Texas,
nuch To the surprise Of the Commissioners nul
other sceessionists now here. tho Administers
tipn policy seems To be to follow up tt, work tx
throwing troops into Fort Pickcns at ensacela
without delay, which will be done at whatever
cjst..
AWestcrn Senator had an interview with The
President, yesterday, and made a strong appca
IN Dchult OF the people of his State in favor of
c'!leCtinG the revenue in MI the seeded States.
The President expressed himself docidelly in
iavosof it, so far as he was personally con ,crnei
but remarked that bo:hre taking action in the
matter it would be tho subject of careful invcsti.a.
hon nnl considerations in Cabinet
1t is evidently the intention of the Admjnist..o-
ton not to intuguratc its policy at home until its
representatives. abroad are all Vt their posts of l,i.
~ in rlor that no check nity accrue by the rep
resenthtion OF ofi,ial acts OF minister's who not
only have no political sympathy With this Admin
lstration but some of whom really in active
co-opcration with its enemies; all the now minis
ters have boen requested to hasten tioir departure
at their earliest possible convcnience.
FRoM W.\suIyGroN. Nth dispatches last
received confirm the previous Intelligence
that the decision at tho Cabinet meeting Sat.
urdiy night was nearly unanimous in favor Of
the evacuation of Fort Sumter, but that Mr..
linculn dcfcrs signir% the order to do so
to Major Anderso Wishing to throw the re-
sponsibility on ~ vfiocr. 1t is said that
naval officers have expressed the opinion that
the fort, may be reinforced by steamers of
light draught at night without incurring more
than ordinary risk. This will not be attempt
ed but the unanimous sentiment of this com
munity is that Major Anderson should be re.
quired to surrender Fort Sumter in one week,
at the expense, if refused, of assaulting it
This will force Mr.. Lincoln who means not
to- reinforce, but only to give the order for its
evacuation only on compusion, to enable him
to get out OF his unmamy position of wish
ing to shift the responsibility on another.
