A large military force went over last nigh, tC

CHARLESTON, Dec. 28.-Capt Humphrey
still holds the arsenal. Castle Pinckney and
Fort Moultre are occupied by state troops
under instructions from the governor to hold
pcaceable possession Of these forts for the pro
lection of government property. The two
places had only twelve men, who peaceably
surrendered. The excitement is subsidng.
CHARLESTON, Dec. 28.-F,orida adyices
state that the elections show that majority
of the convention are for immediate seces
sion.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-Major Anderson's
proceedings are generally commended, while
Fort Moultrie is comparatively weak, and
might provoke attack from a mob, the impreg-
nableness Of Fort Sumner places that fortress
beyond such contingency as the latter can be
reduced only by regular, protracted seige,
thus avoiding imm 7diate collision.
The above statement is obtained from re-.
liable source but there are no means of veri.
flying its absolute certainty. The cabinet CON
tinued IN session nearly six hours, and ad-
journed till tomorrow, without coming to
conclusion on the South Carolina affairs before
them.
Another statement is that the commission.
ers, in view of the alleged stipulations on the
part of the president, that the garrison at
Charleston should not be augmented, nor the
military stations or the posts be changed, re-
quested the president to inform them whether
Major Anderson's movement was by his, or
the war departments ORDER to Which Mr.. Blu.
chanan responded negatively; adding that
Major Anderson acted upon his own response
biity. The commissioners then requested
that the president remand Major Anderson to
Fort Moultrie; but on this point no conclu-
sion was arrived at when the cabinet adjourn

HARDWARE CORNER Messrs. Montan Il
Malta, down on the corner Of Main aud La

in which they set down the name and ma
ture Of every article asked for, in their
line. Should the visionary, at this sleepy
season, dream in the midsummer night,
of a machine, not down in the lists of pat
ents, let him 60 to Messrs. NJ & NJ, and
tell them what Il looks like and what ser
vice he saw 1t In, in his vision. and an
order will go on for it, and something will
come ont Of the mill like ii, in due season.
They have long list of articles made
from models furnished by them from
cooking stoves, in an alphabetical range
10 cane knives. The best thing out, in
the way Of blind fastener-or rather q
fastener back Of windows and things, will
be found there, and we beg the attention
Of house builders to It. Many men have
been kept awake and thrown into fever
by the banging Of a window shutter at
night, and we make no doubt that many
others, have started on the road to death
and oblivion, by getting cold, whilst enga-
ged in q similar service for the house hold.
Another curious device Of theirs, is an at
tachment TO send several grains Of heavy
conviction to the soul of him, who with
felonicus intent attempts to open the shut
ter when the house lie asleep; summsrily
dispcsing of case of burglarous intent
without annoyance to courts of justice and

A STORY OF rHE LONDON REFORM
CLup.-There are queer fellows in
this club, which takes in everybody
on the reform side Of politics, and
its membership is not a pass word
of gentility. One day-so runs
the story-a member, probably an
Irish one, rushed in a state Of ex-
element to the porter of the club,
and stated that he had lost fifty
pound note. The porter received
the intelligence with subdued po-
likeness, but with scant EMOTION
He listened to the tale, noted the
particulars, said that the note
should be searched for, and a no
tice put in the hall, and then slight.
ly coughed, as he returned to his
avocations. A day or two after
the member entered the club. 1t
was now the porter's turn to ex.
hibit excitement. He rushed to.
wards the member. "Here is your
fifty pound note, sir" he cried, 81
found it this morning. Here it is.
We did'pt none Of us think you
had lost it, sir" he added, in q
tone of hurried agitation, land you
may thank your stars as none of
them ere members found it, for if
they had you would certainly have
never seen anything Of it again"
