The Evacuation of Vort Mn nit or We notice (fiat some of the more ardent Its, publicans, aim restive unddr the fidea of an abandonment of Fort Sumter, as a confession of weakness on the part of the Government, and a humiliation before the defiant attitude of South €.t . rolina. Thaka necessity exists for a withdrawal of the troops from that post, is beyond all question, end however mortify ipg such a. course in'ay TM to our national pride, the Administration of Mr. Lincoln is not to be hell responsible: The men who \ hatehed this treason and nursed it, are guilty beffiro God aud the country, of the present alarming oonditidn.of our public affairs. This' condi tion of things was brought about tinder demo cratic rule. The timid policy of Mr. Buchanan, the treasonable conduct of his constitutional advisers, and,the complicity of sworn officers of the Government, have placed us at the' mercy µlmost, of a handful of secessionists. But, thank Heaven! the traitors who laun dered the governiuent, Weakened and disarm- Od its forces and paralysed its power, to effect a dismemberment of the Union, are out of office. When Mr. Lincoln entered on the dischargo of his duties, he found theGovernmenta wreck, and to use his own words, lie has to "run the - machine as he finds it." Ile is not the man to shrink from his duly, and we 'advise our friends to await patiently this full developc• wont of his policy, rather lhan to commenco fault-finding on the very threshold of his Ad ministrati6n. = It is now utplerstood , that Carl Schurz will receive a foreign appointment, where his reel or supposed political opinions will not mbar rase the, diplomatic relations of the bioeern must, and exception cannot be urged by tnr eign miters. Ile was offered the choice of Brazil, Peru, or other -jottili American mis sions, or Portugal by Mr. Sewalat an inter view to•day. We take the above from the New York Tri bune. Al:hough:we never sympathized with the "Know Nothing" movement, we hold that a foreign , born citizen is not the kind of ma terial out of which to manufacture a foreign Ambassador. Tlinre presentat iv eef the A mori can Government abroad, should be an Ameri can, and we hope the Administiation.will avoid the error made by President Pierce, who'sent a French iefugee to represent this Govern ment at the court of Spoin. if Nit..

' SECESSION IN VIRGINIA A secession demonstration Was held at. mond, on the 15th itmt., and a largo meeting :,embled to hear a speech from , the lion. Roger A. Pryor. It was en ultra southern speech, advocating immediate and - absolute ,secession. As a specimen of Mr. Pryor's style. who treats his audience to aims°, instead of argument, u'o takb the following extract from Lis, speech:— ' He alluded to Lincoln' as it mishapen ape, now occupying the pedestal where once stood the greal,lVashington. Gee. Scott was spoken' of as an apostate chieftain, in command of troops occupying the Federal.. Capital. Ile thanked Gail that the Union was gone forever. It was an eternal separalion',\snd never would the spirit of Liberty again find' shelter in the corrupt mass that remains. The Southern States would never cinne back, even though Linenin and Hamlin Were to abdicate, and give the South a carte blanche for all that she could take. He said this by authority. Whether Virginia sides with them or not, they are gone irrecoverably. This ions the issue, then, pre seuted to the people. It was for Virginia to decide whether site would be the dependent tail of a Black Republican Confederacy, or the chief of a glorious Southern Confederacy. Ile maintnined that there was no protection for Virginia in the Union. lie would rather be dragged at the tail of South Carolina, than be led In chains after the triumphal car of Massachusetts;' and, in continuation, spoke in gloWing terms of South Carolina and her prompt secession front the Union, which was received With prolonged chewing. Ile would be willing. he said, to lay down his life if Vir ginia stood where South Carolina did to•day. If she had 'taken her position three months ago the Union might have been •reconstructed upon the Constitution. But, she would 'not listen'to the warning voice sent hither 'froni Washington, and now she was compelled to talc(' one side or the other. Here a band of music was heard, and Mr. Pryor said: "That music which you hear heralds the approach of three hundred gallant spirits of Petersburg, who come Co receive your con gratulations." [lmmense and long continued cheering, the whole audience rising and wav ing hats and handkerchiefs.] At this moment the Petersbur,gers appeared, bearing the hag of the Confederate States, and a scene of en. thusiasm folldwed, the like of which we never witnessed. The flag and a palmetto branch were then brought on the platform, amid the wildest enihusiasm.] The Richmond Enquirer, in its account of this meeting says: "The Mirryland Commis. sioners, to confer with Virginia having arrived inilichmend in Ilse afternoon, were greeted with loud' cheering -when they entered the building, and were conducted fi'settts on the platform." Mr. Pr'yer, in the course of his • speech, said:— If it should be the demoni.trated purpose of Western .

There will 'be nothing left of . secesiouists, he says, if Sumter is aban doned. ==l There is a vory strong feeling in the best quarters against sending, European exiles to represent this country in Europe. The-•case of Carl Shurz lots brought the matter very prominently under discussion, and I have yet to find the first titan of any position and re sponsibility who. would endorse his selection no American 'Minister to Sardinia. The rela tions of Sardinia to Prussia are very delicate; and the existence of the Italian Kingdom may. lie almost said to depend on the good will of Prussia. .Under such circumstances the pres ence of a Prussian exile at the Sardinia Court, as an American representative„ would be a most ,embtirrassing circumstance. Any fiicndly attention which the Sardinian Court might show to this country in fhe per son of its representative would be liable to must injurious misconstructions. The ap pointment, would be very injurious to the prospects of Italy, end might almost be re garded by Victor Emanuel no an unfriendly act. There is a general willingness to recog nize the abilities and political services of Air. Shore, but it ought to be done in some, way less detrittienol to the public honor and the geed of Italy. iiiß appointment to Brazil would give general satisfaction. Some of tit' most strenuous opponents of hio appointment to Sardinia are lancing his own peopletlie German citizens of the West.

To the. -11e.mber4 of the Consistory ry the Germar Retained Church, Carlisle: DEAR BatTIIREN— Feeling myself, in the providence of God, called to another field of htbor, viz : to the First German Reformed Church in Lancaster, Pa., I hereby tender you my resignation of Om Pastorate and respect fully ask-of you its !loci:PM:me, the resigna tion to take effect on .the first day, of April next. have come to this resui!,, pot without much painful deliberation; end were I to consult my own persimal wishes only, I would cer tainly leave our present relations undisturbed ; but my course is determined by the clearest convictions of duty. My 'B4 - oration from a people whom I- have endedvored to serve in the gospel, for more than fifteen years, impo sea the severest trial of my life. Four fifths of our present membership havh entered our Communion under my ministry, and most of the children in the Sabbath School, which ht this time is in a flourishing state, I baptized, promking ri rich ingathering for my future labors. These and other considerations induced me long to hesitate. before I could arrive at my present decision. put lam 'node to feel that God has a spechil Mission for rue in Lancaster, and Lcannot_resist the.manifestAndication of. Ills providence. It has fora long, time been my desire to end my ministry among you, but as God has determined otherwise, it becomes us to bow in submission to His will. I shall only cease with my latest breath. to pray for a people among whom I have spout the best years of my life. May the blessing of the great Head of tlio Glittrelt ever be with you, and direct you in the choiee of a Pastor,. to one abundantly sui. ted to break to you the bread of life. - IVitb affectionate regards, I ant-dear broth ron, truly yoni•s in Gospel bonds.

Whilst it becomes one portion of the Christian Church very often to yield its judg. ntent in favor of that of another, we do not hesitate to assure you, that in this instance, it is done, not without sorrow and painful regret. You have labored in bur midst for the last lif teettiyenre, and when we remember the em barrassing circumstances under which those l'abors commenced, and' the trials and difficul ties you wore obliged to surmount, and the uniform success, which in the providence of God has crowned your efforts in this portion of Ilis heritage; we fuel as if in this parting there teas nnich for jay and much fur sorrow. 1t is a source of great pleasure for us to look around, and see in every department of this field, untnistakable evidence °fa faithful stew ardship. The growth'of our congregation— the full and regular attenthince upqn your ministry —the - bettereouseiousness of this peo ple on the important subject of catichization, owing, mainly, to your untiring* efforts in be half of the young—the flourishing condition of our Sabbath School, over one department of which you have kindly thrown your foster ing mire; and last, the uniform love and es teem, cherished for yourself and family, so fur as we know 'by every member of this con• gregntion, will °also us in all time to look back upon our relations as pastor and people with pleasurable reoolleetiops. -- Still, dear brother, all these things only make our part ing the more sad—fur we are not unconscious of the ties, which by your long and kind so journ, as a ministernf Christ in our midst, have been riveted upon our hearts, and we onn only any, in our parting, God bless you, and keep yoThand make you in all respects as itifitrumeutplar good, in your. now field,' PS O'has crowned you with sucoess in - the one.. ou now, leave.

ANDEnsoN.--r—Those of onr . readers who heard the sermons preached -by the Rev..D ) r. Anderson of California,, during his,reccet visit to this place, will be gratifie4 at reading the following, notice of his fare well sermon to his congregatiotf; which we find in the Sa'n Francisco Pinta of the 11th 9f February: • . ANDERSONS FAREWELL SERMON.— )r. Wm. C. Anderson, Pastor of the. First Pres. byterian Church, on Stockton streect, who leaves on this morning's' steamer, preached a very affecting farewell sermon' to 'his con rogation yesterday: He' hoped.that during his absence, which it is thought will not be over four mot e iths, the .congregation would continue to manifest towards each other the same friendly feeling which - they bad' blva• viably hitherto shown. Tht ••ver, since the day, he had first me and a half yehrs ago, been a ntil ling or.jar.of nay kind in the churt. His divine providence had watched and tended over it and.blessed abundantly its under dertakings. - He hoped that the blessing might still rest upon the congregation, and that he might be sparedeto have the gratifi• cation orsoon again meeting thorn: There was one subject which, in parting, he could not entirely pass over. Never be foreliad he spoken a word from the pulpit conceroing puliticarsubjects; not even in the exciting times of 1856, had any ono heard a word from hint upon the subjects which were then deeply agitating the com• munity i but,the present position of our coun• try, and the dangers to which it is exposed, constrained him to speak and express his testimony. He had always been proud to feel and call hinnielf MI American citizen. He had always lived as such, and wished to die"rs such. He did not wish to belong to a Northern' Republic, or a Southern Repub: lie, or a-Pacific Republic, but to continue a citizen of the great and glorious Union. Which the God of Nations had so signally blest —the Union for which his Dithers had fought and bled- r the .Union sanctified by the blood and services of so many illustrious names— die Union of iVashington,and‘Franklin, and Adanig, and •Jefferson. This address, delivJrcd in n.ton-dwhich, it.eatne from the heart of the speaker, went to the heart of the hearer, was truly eloquent, and affected most of the congregation to tears. Though he was, as always, miid and calm, and apparently unimpassioned, the audience saw that his great Iva was swel ling with deep and almost heart emotions, and the effect was, therefore, that highest tribute to all true eloquence—an en tire and 'perfect sympathy. The attention of all was riveted upon him, and the eyes of even the roughest, and sternest, and strong est were suffused with tears. Dr. Anderson goes East to attend the General Conference of the Presbyferian Churches, and expects to be absant four months, when he will, return to spend the balance of his days amongst:us. May he have a pleasant,and prosperous 'voyage, and may (;od answer his prayers awl bring him back to us a citizen of an undivided and uu• sullied Union !
