Inquiry at the proper quarter warrants the belief that no order has yet been issued with reference to the evacuation of Fort Sumter. [Second Dispatch.] Washington, March 12, 10 P. M. --The Board of Army Officers to-day concurred in favor of the evacuation of Fort Sumter. Since its adjournment, it is rumored in intelligent circles that the troops will positively be withdrawn by Monday, in obedience to the peremptory opinion of Gen. Scott. It is believed that Fort Pickens is not included in this arrangement. The Confederate States Commissioners have yet done nothing officially, but are strongly exerting their influence in the direction of peaceful arrangements. Their deferred action is probably induced by the desire not to add new complications, but to leave the Cabinet to untrammeled action in relation to Fort Sumter.
