Making a Virtue of necessity.

Lincoln has been compelled to choose between permitting Major Anderson and his command at Fort Sumter to be starved out, or withdrawing them from the fort. Having no means of reinforcing them, he may be compelled, from purely military considerations, to evacuate the fort, and we expect to see this act, forced upon him by necessity and not from motives of peace or justice, quoted as a proof of his pacific policy. In the meantime, it is a far more important matter for Virginia that the troops now at Washington be withdrawn, and not kept where their only object is to hold a rod over the head of this State, and be is a position to reinforce Old Point in twelve hours.
