Forts Sumter and Packens.
--A telegram in the New York Herald from Washington, Saturday, states that the official order for the evacuation of Fort Sumter was issued on Friday, and a special messenger was immediately dispatched with it to Major Anderson.
The fort is to be evacuated on the arrival in Charleston harbor of a United States vessel to receive them.
Dispatches received by the Government from Fort Pickens represent that the garrison is short of provisions, and can hold out but a short time longer.
The squadron off, Pensacola are unable to reinforce the fort or land supplies.
The Administration will doubtless, before the lapse of many days, be obliged also to abandon that stronghold to the secessionists.

The broad Bars of theConfederacy .(search)
The broad Bars of the Confederacy.
--We protest against the words "stripes," as applied to the broad bars of the flag of our Confederacy.
The word is quite appropriate as applied to the Yankee ensign or a barber's pole; but it does not correctly describe the red and white divisions of the flag of the Confederate States.
The word is bars--we have removed from under the stripes.
As we speak of the flag, we may mention that the Committee on Flags caused the Secretary of Congress to order one from Mobile, for the Capitol, which will probably arrive to-day.
It is 28 feet long, by 18 in width; and, as the Congress has adjourned till May, will probably be turned over temporarily to the War Department.--Montgomery Mail.
The Confederate States' loan.
--The Atlanta Confederacy learns that a distinguished politician of the North went on to Montgomery last week with offers for the whole of the fifteen million loan at par, the bid being made by English capitalists.
Mr. Memminger declined the negotiation, preferring to give domestic capitalists the refusal of the bids.
The Confederacy says that a Georgia house has offered to take five millions of the loan.
A Crack Regiment.
--The President of the Confederate States has accepted and drafted into the regular army the Zouave Regiment of New Orleans, numbering 630 men, commanded by Col. Coppen, formerly of the French army.
A large majority of the regiment have seen real service in Europe — all are French, and the orders are to be given in the French language.
Capital coming South.
--A few days ago four wealthy planters from Maryland, one owning a hundred slaves, passed through this place, on their way to Alabama, to purchase plantations with the intention of settling in the Confederate States.--Rome (Ga.) Southerner.
