The Very Latest.

WASHINGTON, March 1l-9 p. H.
There have been so many rumors in the
sensation line in legard to Fort Sumter
that the rumored decision yesterday of the
Cabinet, contemplating the withdrawal O
Major Anderson, was not generally believ
ed, and created but little excitement. By
noon to-day, however, it was confirmed by
those in authority, and unless the Cabine
reverse the decision, the fact, as things now
exist, may be considered settled.
All the Republican journals in N. York
and this city to-day approve the policy o.
the Administration but some of the Radi
cal Republicans are very much opposed tt
it, and great pressure has been brought tt
bear on the President and members of th'
Cabinet, not to let the decision stand. A
special meeting Was held to night on thl
subject, but no developments have beer
made of what trauspired.
Leading Republican Senators say tina
the evacuation will take place within tw'
weeks, while others say it will be done I'M
mediately.

THE NEW POSTMASTER GENERAL
The telegraph brings the announcement Of
the appointment and confirmation OF Judge
Reagan of Texas, as Postmaster-General Of
the Confederate States.
Jno H Reagan was born in Sewer county,
Tenn, October s, 1918. Having chosen
the profession of law, and emigrated to the
Republic of Texas, he advanced, by his own
merits, through many honorable grades Of
civic and military distinction, until 1852,
when he was appointed Judge Of the Dis
trict Court of Texas. In 1857 he was elect.
ed a member of the Thirty-Fifth Congress,
which position he retained, serving with
tact and success as member Of various
important committees.
We have no doubt that in the discharge
Of the ardous duties of his new position
Judge Reagan will show that his admins
tratiye talent is not less than his ability as
legislator.

Fort Sumter to be Evacuated

WASHINGTON, March ll.-Noou.-Dis-
patches received this morning from Fort
Sumter have alarmed the Administration
1t is understood that Major Anderson init.
mates that his position begins to be rather
precarious-that he cannot be reinforced !,
and that his short stock of provisions pre-.
cludes the hope of his being able to hold
out long against siege.
The Cabinet is now in session. | under.
stand that they consider the question now
narrowed down to a reinforcement or an
evacuation. Either the one course or the
other must be adopted-and that immedi
ately. The impression here is that Lincoln
will back down from the reinforcement o
the laws" and that the garrison of Fort
Sumter will be withdrawn.
WASHINGTON, March ll-5p. m.-Tht
Cabinet meeting has just adjourned, after
very stormy session. Itis reported that th'
determination is to yield Fort Sumter. Th'
reason assigned is, that "Buchanan left it IL
such condition that it cannot now be re
inforced without a great sacrifice of life
But the Administration has no idea, as get
of recognizing the independence of the Con
federate States. twill come to that gradu
ally.
WASHINGTON, March l1-7p m.-Tbt
President has given his orders for the evac
uation of Fort Sumter. Rumor says tha
the ultra Republicans created such rump
US on account of the order, that it was sus
pended. This, however, is doubtful, as tn
Republicans are very busy excusing the or
der on the ground of necessity.
Mr. Forsyth is quite sick. Hon. A, B
Roman has not yet arrived. Rumor hxe
tomorrow as the time when the application
for recognition will be made.-Nercury.
WASHINGTON, March 11.-Littlc or n
doubt now exists but that the command a
Sumter will have orders to evacuate b.
Wednesday. This is considered settled
here.
WASHINGTON, March ll-3. 30 P. M
have the best reasons for believing tha
my dispatch is in every particular true. l
is so stated on high authority, and believed
here universally. 1 can give you no par
ticulars further than this. 1t is considered
authoritatively the policy adopted by tn
Administration. The Republican journal
of this morning endorse the facts sent you
, aud generally approve the course of tn
Administration.
LATER Il learned from high authorit
that orders have been issued by Gen. Scot
to Maj. Anderson for the withdrawal of hi
command from Fort Sumter, as militar.

similar import has been received by Gov
