ITvOM WASH IMG TOM.
Washington, March 27.
hi the Senate, Mr. Breckinridge said the Ite
publicans had yielded nothing essential, and
called on Republican Senators to say whether
they had?
Collamer replied not th»t —ere aware of.
Douglas; said Kentucky had justice and cquality
iu-tlic Territories according to the tost prescribed
by Breckinridge, that the recent organization of
| the territories was upon the non-intervention
! plan.
Douglas’ resolution laid on the table—twenty
three ayes, eleven nocs.
Breckinridge offered a resolution that the Sen
ate recommend and advise the withdrawal of Gov
ernment troops from the limits of the Confede
rate States. Laid over.
Clingman proposed adding, and to abstain from
all attempts to collect the revenue within those
States.
Breckinridge.moved to take up his resolutions.
Pace, of Minnesota, favored it, but thought
Clingman’s amendment went too far. He deemed
it improper for the Senate to advise the Presi
dent of matters devolving by law on him. He
! asked Breckinridge if his resolution extended to
Key West and Tortugas; if so, be would never
consent to withdraw the troops thence.
Breckinridge supposed lii.s resolutions embrac
ed those points, but would accede them rather
than hazard a defeat of his resolutions. He did
not think the withdrawal of the troops from Key
West and Tortugas essential to die public peace.
Bice said if the seceded States were determined
to remain out of the Union, he was in favor of
their going in peace, and would give them the
forts and arsenals for the sake of peace, but they
were not in possession of Key West and Tortugas,
and never will be. Northern commerce needs
these points; not the Southern States, and he
would not give them up under any circumstances.
.Mr. Douglas said he was willing to give up Fort
Sumter and Fort Pickens. After further debate
the vote was taken, when there were 19 yeas, and
10 nays. No quorum. Senate adjourned.
liolfe S. Saunders has been confirmed postmas
ter at Memphis.
The President declined communicating Major
Anderson’s correspondence to the Senate on tne
ground of inexpediency.
Washington, March 2fi.
Mr. Clark asked Mr. Douglas whether the rev
enue could be collected in the seceding States if
the laws were altered.
Mr. Douglas supposed it could, but thought the
question an admission that the Republicans did
not mean to collect the revenue until the laws
; changed.
Douglas replying to Breckinridge’s argument,
said as the law now stands, anybody could go to
any Territory with slave property on equal terms
( with other property.
In replying to Mr. IloWe, Mr. Douglas said, the
Republicans in organizing the Territories, of Ne
vada, Colofada and Dacotah, did what they have
abused him so long for wanting to do.
II. Winter Davis nominated Minister to Rus
sia—Joshua R. Giddings Consul to British Arncr
jca>
Washington, March 25.
The President has nominated L. Bigelow Law
rence for Council General to Florence.
The President has nominated William Jayne, of
Illinois, for Governor of Dacotah Territory.
Washington, March 23.
The Southern Commissioners have received ad
vices from Montgomery that affairs have assumed
a more peaceful aspect. A collision is now almost
impossible.
Senators Mason and Hunter, of Virginia, went
! home for the purpose of urging the immediate
secession of their State.
The Government has received information of
the existence of a plot to revolutionize California
and Oregon, in which Gen. Johnson and other
officers are implicated.
The following appointments have been confirm
ed: Gen. Nye, Governor of Nevada. Mr. Wrood,
Minister to Denmark. Mr. King, Minister to
• Rome. Anson Burlingame, Minister to Austria.
Thos. Corwin, Minister L_.
Consul to Havre. Mr. Anderson, ^ “ T
burg. Francis H. Moody, Receiver of111/1**11’ |
Moneys at Little Rock, Arkansas.
Rumors are circulating for political effect, that
Sumter will not be evacuated, and that Fort Pick
ens will not be reinforced.
An extra session of Congress Las not yet been
decided upon.
Washington, March 22.
The Senate yesterday confimed Charles Howe,
Collector of Customs at Key West.
The failure to evacuate Fort Sumter yes‘erday
is ascribed to technical reasons. It is said the
evacuation will take place immediately.
Senators Hunter and Mason, of Virginia, and
Senator Lane, of Oregon, have gone home.
FROM NEW YORK.
New York, March 26.
The steamship Arizona, from Brazos Santiago
on the 21st, arrived at this port to-day. She
brought companies E. and G. of the second cav
alry to Iudianola.
The Washington correspondent of the Times
says. Texas gentlemen report civil war inevitable,
and that Alabama will soon be involved.
Virginia seccssioists are begitiing to despair of
the passage of the secession ordinance, and now
I urge the Arkansas plan, to submit it to the peo
pie.
New York, March 23.
The Ilcrald’s Washington correspondent says
the President issued orders on the 23d for Major
Anderson to evacuate Fort Sumter.
The Cabinet were considering the matter of
Fort Pickens.
Gen. Bragg has notified Lieut. Slemmer that
hereafter supplies cannot be landed there without
a permit from President Davis.
A dispatch to the same paper, dated this morn
ing! says it is believed that the programme of the
, Administration with regard to Fort Sumter has
been changed. Since Mr. Lamon's departure the
i evacuation is made conditional; Lamo.u to direct
I *lic evacuation if the provisions are insufficient to

ries favorable prospects.
Fort Pickens is reported short of provisions,
and the Government will be compelled to aban
don it shortly.
New York, March 23.
The Washington correspondent of The Post
says Secretary Seward has written a letter to the
Southern Commissioners, in which he reviews the
whole ground of misunderstanding, and recom
mends a National Convention.
The Herald's Washington dispatch says the
Administration will reply to the Southern Com
missioners, saying the Government has no power
to treat with them, and referring them to the
next Congress.
New York, March 22.
The Herald's Washington dispatches say that
the inconsistencies between Major Anderson’s
dispatches before and after the inauguration lead
to whisperings in Executive circles that he may
be in complicity with *iie Secessionists
The same paper says the President has deter
mined to call an extra session of Congress.
Commodore Stringham has been ordered to re
port immediately to the Navy Department.
The National Intelligencer takes strong ground
against coercion, and thinks that a Convention
of all the States must settle the difficulty, or the
independence of the Southern Confederacy must
be acknowledged.
Many Republican leaders coincide with this
view, while others determinedly oppose it. _
