Wednesday ni f 0..«, Major Anderson and his comiu. spiked the guns, fired the gun carriage Fort Moultrie, and sawed down the flagstaff, evacuated the place, and took possession of Fort Sunites instead. The ladies who had hitherto lived in the fort,had been previous ly sent to Charleston, and, whatever furni ture, ammunition and provisions that could be moved without exciting suspicion, had been quietly transferred to Fort Sumter.— The report that the defences of Fort Moul' trie had been so shamefully mutilated, natu rally aroused great indignation in the city, People immediately sought the steeples and cupolas of the public, buildings, and tele scopes were brought into active requisition, to gratify the general curiosity. IMttle, however, could bo described beyond the dense smoke issuing from within the ram parts, and large gangs of men at work un loading the cargoes of schooners into Fort Sumter, A PEEP AT FORT MOULTRIE. At half-past two o'clock our reporter visit ed Sullivan’s Island. Quietness reigned throughout Moultrieville, and it was not until the fort was reached that ho noticed any signs of activity. Here, however, was a change. Instead of a mass of smoking ruins, were the well-defined lines of the for tress, unchanged, at least in outward ap pearance. Instead of utter abandonment on the part of the garrison, the senior officer of Engineers and six men maintained pos session of the stronghold. Instead of gain ing ready admittance, a stolid sentinel barred the way, whilst a succession of carts loaded with canister and grape, cooking utensils and cooking stoves, made their de vious way to the lighter in attendance, to convey the ill-assorted cargo to Fort Sumter. It was easy to see that the fort bad been virtually abandoned, but it was not so easy to ascertain the full extent of the damage. The barracks were still standing, though stripped of their furniture, and deserted by their tenants. In short, it was plain enough an evacuation had taken place, and that visitors to Major Anderson were expected to leave their cards at Fort Sumpter. From the citizens it was gleaned that the guns bad been tarred and spiked, and that the small columns of smoke rising from the in terior proceeded from the burning gun carriages. One or two, more mysterious than the rest, stated, with ominous shakings of the head, that the whole of the interior of the fort had been undermined, and that it was perilous to venture within its walls. The effect of the news was immediately visible in the streets of our city. The vol unteers were out in full force and under arms. The Cadet Riflemen and the Palmet to Guard, with a detachment of City Police, were detailed to take charge of the Arsenal, and a line of patrols was established around the walls. On entering the fort it was found to be tenanted only by an officer of Engineers and a small party of laborers—none of whom made any resistance. The Engineer officer was informed that he was at liberty to leave, and remove his personal effects, and in a few minutes he set out in a boat belonging to the fort, accompanied by four othet men. From the direction in which he steered, it is supposed that he went to Fort Sumter. star on a redground was then hoisted amid loud cheers ; and when our reporter left, a strong guard had been mounted, and preparations for garrisoning ‘he fortress were well advanced. THE OCCUPATION OF CASTLE PINCKNEY. The Rifle Battallion, under command of Col. J. J. Pettigrew, assembled promptly upon the Citadel Green. They were sub stantially equipped in winter uniform, with blankets, knapsacks and revolvers. The battalion numbered some 150 men, and con sisted of detachments from the Meagher Guards, the Carolina Light Infantry and the Washington Light Infantry. Shortly after four o’clock the word was given, and the companies advanced in double quick time, without musia, towards the Cooper "River. None of them, we believe, except ing the officers, were aware of their destina tion. They embarked in the steamer Nina, which immediately headed for Castle Pinckney, and the surmise soon became confirmed that the destination of the com mand was to take possession of that for tress. On nearing the fort, a number of men were observed on the wharf, one of whom, in advance of the others, was observ ed holding what appeared to be a paper in his hand. This was said to have been the Riot Act. As soon as the Nina touched the wharf, the storming party who had been detailed for that duty, sprung ashore and rushed round to the rear of the fortress, where the gate is situated. This was found closed, and a cry for storming ladders were soon answered by a detachment bearing a dozen or more of them. These were in stantly planted, and under cover of the rifles of the battalion, the walls were escaladed and the gates thrown open. About seven o’clock the tramp of detach ments from the artillery regiments was "Heard, and the Washington Artillery, the German Artillery, the Lafayette Artillery, and the Marion Artillery, making a total of two hundred and twenty-five men, rank and file, under command of Co). Wilmot G. DeSaussure, were soon embarked on board the Nina and General Clinch, and steamed away down the harbor towards Sullivan’s Island. Among those on board were Col, Charles Alston, Aid to the Governor, and Capt. Humphreys, of the Arsenal. On reaching the island these two last named gentlemen approached the gate, and the sentinel, in accordance, it is said, with orders, surrendered on demand. The troops then quietly took possession, and the Pal metto flag was soon waving over the time honored fortifications. Three rockets (the signalagreed upon) were then sent up to notify the people in the city that the fort was in the hands of the State, and then the newly installed garrison betook themselves, as best they might, to devising the ways and means of comfort and protection. Thus far had the affair progressed up to a late hour last night. This transfer of the troops from Fort Moultrie to Fort Sumpter is regarded as an outrageous breach of faith. For there was a distinct understanding with the General Government, upon the highest authority, that no such transfer would be made, no reinforcement of either of the forts at tempted, and no transfer of arms or ammu nition. Relying upon these declarations, the authorities of South Carolina had not I taken the forts when completely within their power. They have acted with good faith, and expected it in return.

Hisspeech was every thing we could have expected from one of his justly merited reputation. He spoke eloquently and was enthusiastically applau ded by the large audience assembled, almost, at a moment’s warning to hear him. He said our only hope to escape civil war was, in the prompt secession ol Georgia. That she was looked upon, by the North, as the leading State of the South, and that her immediate action, in favor of secession, would save the cotton States from war and bloodshed. We have never seen more en thusiasm manifested on any occasion, and the indications were that a large majority of those present fully agreed in sentiment with the able and eloquent speaker. We feel the most implicit confidence that Geor gia will assert her independence on the 17th inst. and stand side by side with chivalrous South Carolina. The Forts in Charleston Harbor. We publish elsewhere articles from the Charleston Mercury and Savannah .Yetz;.?, giv ing a history of the excitement in Char leston, caused by the evacuation of Fort Moultrie by Major Anderson of the United States Army, and the occupation of Fort Sumter by the sama officer. After the pledges of Mr. Buchanan, that the Forts in Charleston Harbor would not be re-enforced or their statues in any way changed, this hostile movement on the part of Maj. Anderson, naturally excited the indignation and anger of the people of the Republic of South Carolina. The people of South Carolina have had it in their power to have taken the Forts ever since the seces sion of that State. But South Carolina rely ing upon the good faith of the United States authorities, prefered to exhaust first all ef forts at negotiation with the United States for the Forts in fair purchase. But this movement on the part of Maj. Anderson, has freed South Carolina from all obligations to the United States, and as a consequence, she has taken Fort Moultrie, Fort Johnson and Castle Pinckney, all the Forts in the Harbor except Fort Sumter, which Maj. Anderson has in possession. The Commissioners from South Carolina are now in Washington, and uuless Mr. Buchanan remands Anderson back to Fort Moultrie, they will resign, come home and prepare for the worst. And that will bo war, unless the General Government backs down, for South Carolina will not, nor ought not. The question will be, who shall hold the forts the United States or South Carolina. fisjy' Hon. Charles J.

S. Pi intup, our State Senator, and Col. S. Fouche', one oi the secession candidates for the convention. The speeches were received with rounds of applause demonstrating that the citizens of Rome and vicinity, almost to a man and tcoaian too, are straight out secessionists and will stand by South Carolina, to the last ex tremity. The ladies, God bless them, tilled the balconies at the Choice House and City Hall, and manifested their enthusiasm by clapping their hands and waving their hand kerchiefs. We noticed in the procession a number of banners and transparencies with appropriate mottoes, and was particularly struck with one on which there was a. single star for South Carolina, with the significant inscription “Semper Paratus.” Is not Geor gia too. “always ready ?” If so, she should remember that delay has ever been injurious to those who are prepared. Seperate State Action- This thing of seperate State action is a great bugcr-boo to some people. They are afraid to withdraw from the Union alone, but want all the States to go together. Now there is no such a thing as the Abiitzi seceding from the present Union ? It is s:i utter impossibility and an absurdity. If the Southern States secede at all, they have to do so seperate and in their sever eign capacity. That is the way the constitution was adopted by the States, and that is the only way it can bo rejected. Each of the. original thirteen States, in their sovereign and independent capacity, agreed to the Constitution, and imposed its obligation upon themselves. Each one thus agreeing to adhere to the compact. The Southern States have faith fully done their duty, they have in no in stance violated the contract and broken their obligations to their northern brethren. Not so at the North. That section has violated the Constitutional compact, and live every day in open rebellion to the laws passed in pursuance of that instrument. Mr. Webster the great expounder of the Constitution said, that a contract vi olated on one side is a contract violated on all sides. And Mr. Webster used that lan guage in speaking of this very subject. So if Mr. Webster be correct in his opin ion of the Constitutional obligations of the States, the Union is now dissolved, and the Constitution a shattered instrument 1! I.ait ding of tlse Pilgrims. . __ ILo uHuivwwiti'y of (be In tiding of tho Pi lgrims was celebrated at the Astor House, in New York, last week. At the banquet Sen ator Seward, and other Black Republicans, made glorification speeches. On the same day the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, one of the descendants of the puritanical scoun drels, preached an appropriate sermon in Brooklyn, we heartily endorse the following conclusions of a notice of the anniversary’ by the Richmond Fa. Dispatch. The demoralization, misery and bloodshed which the Puritans caused in England, are as nothing to the appaling curses with which they threaten America. Would that the Pilgrims had not landed at all, or that they had landed some where else than on this continet! Parson Boownlow on Secession. The Knoxville parson has spoken. The “Traitors” of the Cotton States know now, exactly, what their doom will be if thej' per sist in their “brutal, hellish, stupid and wicked,” purpose. If the Parson will only attend to his preaching and praying, we assure him, that, “the vile and wicked leaders, who have precipitated the revolution /’’will do the fighting and relieve him from all bloody re sponsibility in the premises. Brownlow, however, has the reputation of being a fighting parson and may insist upon, “shoul dering his knapsack and musket,” with the other common people of Tennessee, including Senator Johnson, and fight against his native South. If so. Then “ welcome be Cumber land’s steed to the shock.” But hear the Parson. This machine of government, so delicate and complex in its structure, and which cost its great Architects so much labor and thought, so much of the spirit of concession and compromise, and our fathers so much of blood and treasure, is now to be broken to pieces, to gratify a set cf corrupt, ambi tious, and disappointed demagogues, who find that they can never preside over these United States, and hence they seek to build up one or more contemptible Southern Con- J'cdiracics, and to place themselves at the head of these. The fiddling and dancing of Nero, while Rome was enveloped in flames, was not more brutal, hellish, stupid and wicked, than is the conduct of these country-destroying. God-defying, and Hell deserving TRAITORS to their country, who write and talk thus flippantly of the most momentous event that the human mind can conceive! Fighting is to be done, and that at no distant duv, anil the battle ground is to be along the line of the border Slates of Mary land, Virginia, Tennessee. Kentucky, and Missouri, which States have all declared for the Union. The vile and wicked leaders who have precipitated the revolution, wii! do none of the fighting, but will manage to hold civil and military offices, with large salaries, to pay which, money will be wrung from the masses by a system of iZl.vvl taccs. And these common people will themselves have to shoulder their knapsacks and mus kets, and do the fighting. Let those who voted the Disunion ticket, fight for their mad schemes; the Union men. if fight they must, will fight on the side of the General Government, and for the “Union, th” Con stitution, and the Enforcement of the Laws.” Bur the Home Southerner d- Advertiser.

A .step so wholly inconsistent wi. hthe policy hitherto indicated by the admin istration, ami with its pledges to the people of Car I’itm, it was believed had not been authorized by the President, and yet it was hardly to be pre anted that the officer in command had as sumed the grave responsibility of acting at such a eritictil moment without orders. In tin general anxiety to be satisfied on this point numerous despatches were sent to Char lo- lon, the :nrwers tn which only increased the excitement, as they seemed to confirm the opin ion that the movement of Maj. Anderson had the sanction of the Government at Washington, and that the step was but the initiation of coersive measures against South Carolina. Under this impression prompt steps were taker, to enroll and organiz- volunteers to go immediately to the aid of the Palmetto State. In the cofirsc of*a few hours n t loss than five hundred men had declared themselves willing and ready to start for Charlesion at a minutes warning. One corps promptly telegraphed to the Governor of Caroli na tendering him their services Indeed, there was but one feeling and one sentiment through out tin whole community—supremo indignation at the course by which hostilities were about to be precipitated, and determination to meet the issue thus presented at all hazards. Despatches received at a later hour of the evening, stating upon information received from Washington that the action of Major Anderson was not under instructions from the President the intense excitement was in a great measure allayed, and the painful suspicion of rashness and duplicity on the part, of Mr. Buchanan, which had been entertained even by his warmest friends However much we, sympathizing as we do must heartily with South Carolina, desire that her rcb'ior.s with the Federal Government, may cimtinnoam’cable and harmonious, the detnon st; .-.tio:: ■■ of yesterday prove one fact beyond the she..low of a oubt —that for the brief time yet to claps bet ween this date and the hour when Geurgir will undoubtedly take her stand side by side with Carolina., as one of the sovereign na tions of the earth, and ever after that hour, any effort at coercion on the part of the Fcdernl Gov ernment will at once make the cause of Carolina the cause of Georgia.— Savannah News. (From the Washington Great Gin Man ol'the World Is from Virginia. Udolpho Wolfe,now the largest manu facturer of Gin in the World, is by birth a Virginian. He was born in Richmond. He is the seventh son of Major Benjamin Wolfe, deceased, who was an officer of the American Revolution. Os these sons only three are living: Joel, alluded ’to hereaftes, and Nat Wolfe, the great criminal lawyer of Kentucky for the last twenty years. Originally taken to Ken tucky by Henry Clay, Nat Wolfe retained the friendship of the great statesman to the ja-t. hour of his life. Udolpho Wolfe re m >ved to the City of New York in 1820, ati'l entered the counting house of his elder brother, Joel Wolfe, who was the largely engaged iu the importation of brandy and gin from France and Holland. Young Wolfe’.- business qualification and, energetic perseverance soon gave him a prominent position in the house of his brother, and when he reched the age of 51 he became a partner. In ISd’J that brother established the first distillery in Schiedam (Holland) ever un dertaken bp an American, and it yet can tinues, and is the place where the famous “IfoZfes Schiedam, Aromatic Sbhnapps” is now manufactured. In 1348 the senior partner of the house retired from active business, having accu. mutated a large fortune. In that same year Udolpho Wolfe made the fortunate discoveries that led to the manufacture of his now world wide famed “Schiedam Schnapps.” Udolpho Wolfe, although a merchant has ever taken a prominent interest in the pol itical questions of the day, especially in stern, sbougb disinterested, opposition to each and every political party or leader who aimed to disturb the sacred institution of the South, where he was born. In any matter that affected Virginia or h ? leading mon, whether of the. present or of the glorious past- Mr. Wolfe has ta ken a deep and patriotic interest. When the removal of the remains of the lamented Monroe, who had been a warm personal fi i nd of Mr, Wolfe’s father, as well as of himself’ was resolved upon, no man took a more active part than Mr. Wolfe When th- Seventh Regiment returned to New York Mr. Wolfe compiled and pub lished a book, with a full narration of every thing connected with the obsequies of the late ex-President, at an expense of three or four thousand dollars. This book also can-' tained a full description of the famed Sev enth Regiment, and also biographical sketches of the principle officers. It con tained IMG pages. It has become a Book of Hi lory. Mr.AV. presented the Seventh Regiment with 1.200 copies, and presented through Governor Wise and the Mayor of Norfolk, conies of the principle civil and military officers, and in addition, he placed a copy in every public library in the different States. Mot only Southern himself, he married a lady of Mobile Alabama. In closing this article, we merely desire to ay that the history of thiserninent ener getic merchant gives the lie to the oft-re peated charge that the South produces no commercial men of distinction. Mr. Wolfe is the mo t extensive merchant in his branch of commercial manufacture that has ever lived in this Union. A I’-Et it. Medicine.— lt is now nearly U. nt\-live years since the firm of Fleming B dhers, <;f Pittsburg, Pa., commenced the Maiiufucture of McLane’s celebrated Vermi fuge and Liver Pills, during which time they have pniil over half a inilion of dollars for adver.i ing the same. The great and grow in;’popui.a ity of this medicine is attested by the fact that during the past year they have sold the enormous amount of 1,50(1,00!) boxes of the pills and vials of the vermi fuge. Th: should boa satisfactory evidence of the usefulness and value of a medicine, the sal ■ of which is every year increasing. We have had frequent business transac tions with Messrs. Fleming Bro’s, ami can truly say that wo have never dealt with a more prompt and honorable house. Their payment are never delayed longer than the time tiiey arc due, and their publishers are not subject to at y annoyance in collecting— a fact which speaks volumes for the honor able character of their house. . uu other members from the border States co-operating, propose forming a cen tral Confedeaacy on the basis of the Consti tution as defined by the Dred Scott decision; omitting the New England States; then form Republics. The Pacific and other States negotiate commercial and defensive league that will meet general approbation; and if unsuccessful the border States will probably withdraw from Congress, leaving the House without a quorum, and placing the question before the Senate. The current reports that the South Caro lina commissioners would depart this morn ing were untrue; they will probably receive the President’s answer to their requests to morrow. Washington, Dec. 31.—Doubts are ex pressed in high quarters whether either House will ever hereafter have a vuorutn. — The general opinion is that to-day’s paoceed ing are the finality of the Republic of the United State of America. It is currently reported here that Gen. Scott is acting as Secretary of war to-day; that Secretary Thomas has resigned, and that the United States revenue cuttea Har riet Lane left for Charleston with sealed or deas. Mr. Benjamin, of Louisiana, intimated in his speech to-day that this was the last ses sion of the United States Senate. The scene in the Senate to-day was most thrilling. At the close of Mr. Benjamin’s speech, the ladies stood up in their seats, waved their handkerchief:!, and shouted as loud as the men. The most intense excitement prevails all over the city. The eumor that Gen. Scott is teting as Secretary of War is gaining credence. Southern men here are anxiously awaiting stirring intelligence from Charleston har bor. The balance of the five million loan was taken to day by the Bank of Commerce of New York, at I'2 percent. This may be for the purchase of the sinewsjof war. 'Washington, Dec. 31.—A favorable augury is drawn from the fact that Post Master- General Holt is acting as secretary of War and that Gen. Scott has not been at the Presidents House, nor at the War Depart ment to day. Congressional. Washington, Dec. 31.— Senate. — In the Senate, Mr. Powell, from the committee of Thirteen, reported the committee had di rected him to report that they had been unable to agree on any terms of settlement of pending difficuties. Mr. Douglas said that he desired to ad dress the Senate on this subject on Wednes "day next. On motion of Mr. Bigler, it was agreed that when the Senate adjourn it adjourn un til Wednesday. The Senate then postponed the considera tion of Mr. Crittenden’s resolutions until Monday next at 12 o’clock. Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts, introduced ’ a resolution of inquiry as to places of depo ; site, sales, &c., of public arms, which was | laid on the table. The Kansas bill was postponed nntil Mon ! day next. Mr. Benjamin, of Louisiana, then address ed the Senate. He declared that the pres entcrisis had not come upon the country without warning. Yet the Republicans scoffed at and neglected them ; now they saw the truth. South Carolina has become independent, Mississippi, Florida, and Ala bama would be independent next week; and Georgia, Louisiana and Texas would I soon follow. The question now to be deci ded is whether their independence is to be recognized or civil war begun. South Caro lina has only repealed in 1800 wirit she did in 1788. She has the right to do this be cause the compact which bound her to it was a compact broken on one side—and, therefore, broken on all sides. The present Union was formed upon this principle, by nine States seceding from the old confeder ation. He quoted the debates in the con vention.of 1788 and 1789, to show this, and sustained his position by well considered arguments. He declared that the States had two classes of remedies; one class was against the power usurped in the name of the Constitution, like secession, and the other against the abuse of constitutional power, like revolution. Ho denied that secession was a revolutionary right, and quoted the McLeod case to show that an indiv’dual could not be held responsible when carrying out the orders of his govern ment. Showed that civil procss must precede the employment of military force; and that no civil process is possible in the seceding States. Ho argued the subject at length, anda ft era recitation of the. wrongs endured by the South declared, “You may bring desolation upon our homes, but you can never subjugate us! Never! Never! At the close of this speech, there was the most tumultuous applause. The Chair ordered the galleries to be cleared ; and while the call of the yeas and nays was being made the gentlemen’s gal lery was cleared. The Senate then adjourned. House. — In the House Secretary Floyd sent in a communication to the speaker explain ing the nature, character, and cause of his acceptances in the Russell-Bailey case. He said that they were not due or payable until the service for which they were given was performed. The communication was refer red to a select committee on the subject. Mr. Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania, of fered a resolution of inquiry in relation to the public property in Charleston, its harbor, Garrison, <f"C. The House refused to suspend the rules by a vote of 91 to 65. Mr. Staunton, of Oh io, introduced a reso lution, which was adopted, that the Com mittee on Military Affairs report al any time in regard to the recent sales of public arms to the States; anil Charleston harbor and arsenal affairs. Mr. Pryor o*' Virginia, offered a resolution which was tabled, that any attempt to pre serve the Union by force was impiacticable, and destructive of Republican liberty. On the motion to lay on the table, the vote was, ayes, 98, nays, 55. convention. The majority of the delegates for Secession is put down here at 25. All Blight. Florida, Mississippi and Alabama, at the recent elections for delegates to their State Conventions, have gone overwhelmingly for immediate secession.
