WHO MAJOR ANDERSON is, AND
WHAT HE HAS DONE.

The Leader has a biographical sketch OF
the present commander at Fort Moultrie. We
copy passage:
/" Major Anderson is now about fifty.six
years DID, and was born in Kentucky, entering
the Military Academy from that State, and
graduating with distinction, on June 30, 1925
The record of his military service shows that
be was promoted to a first lieutenancy in 1888
and made captain by brevet in 1888 for gal.
lantry and successful strategy in the war
against the Florida Indians. In the same
year he was appointed Assistant Adj .ant
General, with the rank Of captain-the cap.
taincy itself not coming until the October OF
1871, and his present rank of Major only
reaching him last year.
"Major Anderson has also performed q
large amount of the staff duty incident to the
service few years since, and before it was
made distinct from duty in the line. He acted
as Assistant Inspector of the Illinois Voun.
Black Hawk War Of 1882. He was Assistant
Instructor and Instructor of Artillery at the
Military Academy in the years 1885, 1886, and
1897, and was aidde-camp to Major General
Scott in 1888.
During the Mexican war, the Major en-.
dured all the labors and dangers of the cam.
paign, being severely wounded in the assault on
the enemy's works at Moino del Rey, and re.
ceiving brevet mrjority for gallant and meri.
torious conduct in that action Major Ander
son has also received from the Government
many evidences of its trust and confidence
other than those bestowed by the War Depart.
ment.
"His last service, previous to his taking
command Of Fort Moultre, was as a member
of the commission, ordered last Summer by
Congress, to inquire into the manner of in
struction at the West Point Military Academy.
The labors of that commission, in which Ma.
ior Anderson performed his part, have already
been laid before Congress.
"ln physique, the Major is about five feet
nine inches in height; his figure is well set and
soldier y; his hair is thin, and turning to iron
gray; his complexion swarthy his eyes dark
and intelligent; his nose prominent and we'll
formed. A stranger would read, in his air and
appearance, determination and exaction of what
was due to him. He has good deal of man
ner. In intercourse he is very courteous, and
his rich voice and abundant gesticulations 90
well together. He is always agreeable and
gentlemanly, firm and dignifed, man of un.
daunted courage, and as a true soldier may be
relied on to obey orders and do his duty"

THE GULF STATES REJECT ALL COM.
PROMISE.

As the editors OF Southern newspaper, we
call the attention of our fellow.citizens of the
South, to the great fact, that the South Carroll
ma leaders reject all compromise in advance.
They declare, in so many words, that they will
not remain in alliance with non. slaveholdng
States. And this action and language of South
Carolina seem likely to be followed by the Gulf
States generally.
There have been vague suggestions Of com.
promise made here, but nobody be ieves, and
nobody has been authorized to say, that any
terms would be salts actory to South Carolina,
or to the partisans of South Carolina anywhere.
The Republicans have been, aud are, most
anxious to conciliate those still within the reach
of concliation. With this view, so far as the
fugitive slave law is concerned, they have been
willing to recommend to the State Legislatures
TO revise any action found to be inconsistent
with the Constitution, or with any acts Of Con-
press. With this view, also they are willin g
that the Constitution he made forever ines pable
of such amendment as would authorize the Ma.
tional Government to meddle with slavery in
the States.
What more, we ask our fellow citizens Of the
South, can fairly be demanded of the free
States ? With slavery protected in the States
where it exists, and with the rendition of fugi.
tives conceded as right, what more can we
get by going out of the Union?
AS to the Territories, shareholders have to.
day all the rights they ever had, and a good
deal more than will remain to them, if the
Union is broken up. 1t is true that the free
States will not restore the Missouri compro.
mise line, which was abrogated by the South
only six years ago, as being a stigma upon
Southern institutions. But as nobody had the
least reason to expect its restoration, so no.
body will be disappointed by the refusal to re.
store it.
AS to amendments Of the Constitution, the
propositions for which are so numerous, it is
clear that shareholders are pre- eminently inter.
ested in holding on to the Constitution Just as
it is. If the idea of changes is once admitted
the direction they may take is impossible to be
foreseen. No amendments can be carried
without the assent Of the free States, but in
process of time, they may be carried without
the assent of the slave States. The Consitu.
ton, just as it is, should he the watchword of
all rejecting Southern men.

THE SOUTH -DEPLORABLE AC.
COUNTS.

We are enabled to give the substance of
letter received here lately from lady in Mo.
bile.
The city is in the hands Of ferocious and
infurated mob, and the numerous respectable
citizens who love the Union are compelled to
silence by fear Of their lives.
The aspect Of the negroes is described as
Sulien and .ferce," and an outbreak of servle
insurrection is considered to be possible every
hour of every day and night.
There is no money; debts are not paid ruin
stares almost everybody in the face; the State
has but short supply of bread, from the fail
ure OF the corn CROP credit is annihiated and
the horrors of famine, as well as of revolution
impend over the community.
The condition of things in the Gulf States is
undoubtedly terrible. The passions Of the pop.
ulace have been so worked upon that the lead
ers have no longer the power to control them.
Indeed, it is these hitherto leaders who are now
trembling lest they shall themselves fall victims
to the fury they have incautiously kindled. They
reflect, when it is too late, that revolutions are
rarely ended by those who begin them. Many
member of Congress here, whose name goes
before the public attached to brave manifestoes,
con'esses his alarm at the prospect of being
obliged to go home and take his chances among
wild, ignorant, and excited savages, white and
black.

Gov. Sprague, of Rhode Island, having been
Intercepted by citizen of Maryland as to
what his State would do in regard to personal
liberty, responded as follows:
" The Governor of Rhode Island goes heart
and hand for the repeal of the so called personal
liberty bills of his State, though they are un
constitutional only in spirit. The Legislature,
which meets in January, will without hesita.
ton, repeal them, not from fear or cowardice,
but from brave determination, in face Of
threats and sneers, to live up to the Constitu.
tion and all its guarantees the better to testify
their love for Union, and the frmer to exact
allegiance to it from all others.
