forever. As we said before, we cannot judge of the wisdom of this or that step, without a better knowledge of all the circumstances than we now possess; but we cannot help thinking, that if we are to accept the terms of disunion which the Confederate States offer us, we may begin with some act less humiliating than the surrender of Fort Sumter. The N. York Commercial Advertiser thinks the abandonment of the fort tantamount to an acknowledgment of the Southern Confederacy: "It is poss the President purposes the surrender of Fort Sumter to the Southern Confederacy. If so, the controversy is at an end. The revolution in the South is successful. The Southern Confederacy is a rival sovereign Republic on this Continent. The United States has lost tens of thousands of miles of territory, two thousand miles of coast, with its harbors and fortifications, and thus curtailed largely of the means of defence and commerce will be at the mercy of a foreign power on its Southern as wel

The late Administration failed to reinforce the forts of Charleston harbor, in disregard of the advice of General Scott, and the urgent entreaties of Gen. Wool, at a time when reinforcement was both easy and would have been a powerful check on the progress of secession. Reinforcements have been rendered more

The intended evacuation ofFort Sumter.Opinions of the Republican Press. It is stated that on Tuesday a dispatch was sent by the Government at Washington to Major Anderson, instructing him to inform the authorities of South Carolina that the garrison will be withdrawn from Fort Sumter so soon as a steamer can be sent to convey them to New York. He is also to arrange with them to permit the vessel to enter the port without molestation. There is to be no formal surrender, but he is to leave it with a small garrison; who will surrender on demand, without opposition. The rumors and speculations of the correspondents of the New York papers on the subjece are interesting. The Washington letter to the Tribune says: There is a great fever among the Republicans in the city on account of the orders for the retirement of the troops from Fort Sumter. Every man is ferocious at the bare idea of such a thing. The act is deprecated and denounced in every form of anathema; yet it is an

it was agreed that the attempt to reinforce Fort Sumter could only be made in two ways, and then with doubtful success.

The President has no army at his disposal for this purpose. Eight companies are now stationed in this city, and seven at Fortress Monroe, none of which can be spared.

nder must not be misunderstood. It is done wholly because it cannot now be reinforced before the supplies of the garrison are exhausted. The rumors about Fort Pickens being given up are entirely unfounded. This fortress can be reinforced, and it will be. An extra session of Congress is likely to be soon called to supplern as well as its Northern border. We use this language because Sumter will never be retaken or restored. Its tenure by the Federal Government, with that of Fort Pickens, is the only check upon the revolutionists, Let them once have possession of all the forts upon the Gulf coast, as they will then have, and the Southern Confederacy is a Government de facto thenceforth." The surrender is made on the presumption that no blood must be shed to retain it. Fort Pickens must be surrendered also on the same principle, and on the same principle a gun can never be fired or a sword drawn for the recovery of them, or either of them, by the Federal Government

Washington, Monday, March 11.--There is no longer any doubt that Major Anderson's command is to be withdrawn from Fort Sumter. General Scott decides it to be a military necessity, and his judgement determines the question, as it has done some others nearly as delicate.

His friends are assured that the Cabinet has not yet decided the point respecting the forts, and that Mr. Chase, consequently, will attend to his duties as usual. While no decision has been come to on the subject, I am satisfied that the Administration will not reinforce at the terrible sacrifice of life which Gen. Scott says it would require. Of course there are divisions of opinion on this policy. Wade says it's a surrender; but many who at first doubted its propriety, accept its wisdom upon reflection. Andrew Johnson says Mr. Lincoln should have no false pride on this subject; that his Administration is not responsible for the existing condition of affairs, which makes it wiser now to withdraw the troops than to reinforce. Depend upon it, the statement is untrue that orders for the withdrawal have already been issued. That was a stock-jobbing canard. As late as Friday last the P
