the county boundaries. and, also, of all the

typographical execution of this work is
beyond all praise and it is, indeed, a
splendid illustration of the progress of art

Reported for the Daily Intelligencer
Charleston Anairs.

sWAsHTSGToS, Dec. 2S.-The Telegraph
Office ut Charleston, last night, is pre-.
suned to have been under the control of
the Governor of South CAROLINA, as no
dispatches were received by the govern
ment commissioners, or for the press
; This morning the telegraph line is not in
working order beyond Wilmington, n. G.
CHARLESTON, Dec. 2e.-The Palmetto
j flag was raised, easily yesterday afternoon,
over the Custom House, Post Office and ut
! Castle Pinckney.
/ A large military force, went over, last
night, to take Fort Moultrie.
CHARLESTON, Dee. 2s.-Fort Moultrie
was t.kcn possession of last night, at 8
o'clock.
CHARtEsrox, Dec. 2s.--Capt. Hum
irhreys still holds possession of the Ar
senAl.
Castle Pfuckney and Fort Moultrie are
occupied by the State troops, under in
structions from the Governor of the State
to hold peaceable possession of these
forts, and for the purpose of protecting
the government property. Castle Pinck-
ney and Fort Moultrie we're held by about
twelve men, who peacefully surrendered
There was no collision, and none was an
ticipated when the troops left the city to
garrison these forts. The excitement is
subsiding.
wAsuiSerox, Dec. 2s.-The intelligence
of the capture of Fort Moultric and Chs
tie Pinckney was received by the Admin
istration, and is the subject of Cabinet
meeting.
The South Carolina Commissioners are
in conference with the members of the
Cabinet. They declare that, unless the
troops are withdrawn, this shall be their
last interview, and they will Immediately
return TO South Carolina and prepare for
the worst.
The above statement was obtained from
a source believed TO be reliable, but there
is no means OF verifying its absolute credi-
biIity.
Another statement, which seems to be
truthful, is, that the South Carolina Com
missiouers, in view of the alleged stipuIn-
ton on the part of the President, that the
garrisons Of Charleston harbOr should not
be augmented, nor the military status of
the post changed, requested the President
to inform them whether Major Andersons
movement was in consequence of any or
der issued by him or from the War De-
partment. The President responded ncgn-
lively, and added that Anderson had acted
on his own responsibility. The Commits
stoncrs then requested the Presidrut to re-
mund Anderson TO Moultrie, but on this
point there wastno conclusion when the
Cabinet adjourned.
The Cabinet continued in session nearly
six hours, and it is certain that it adjourn
ed until tomorrow without coming to
conclusion on the affairs before thcm.
Acting Major Anderson is generally
commended, for, among other reasons,
that while Fort Moultrie was comparative
~ weak, and might provoke the assault of
mob, the impregnable defence of Fort
Sumpter placed it beyond such contin-
genry, as it could be reduced only by Il
regular and protracted siege, thus avoid
ing an immediate collision.
Adviccs from Jacksonville, Fla, dated
on the oath, state that at recent elections,
four-ffths of the Convention will so for
Immediate secession.

gg~SINGULAE DIsAPPEARANCE.-Abo
two weeks ago a young man named
Thomas Young, from TuscArowas county.
Ohio, came TO this city, accompanied by a
pretty, but unsophislcatcd little girl whom
he had married the day before his arrival
here. The couple remained here two or
three days, when Young suddenly dis
appeared one morning and did not return.
The wife waited for him the balance of
the week under great suspense, suPposing
that he had awaited himself of chance
opportunity TO return home and get some
money, the little of that article in his
possession having proved to be uncurrcnt
or spurious; but in the meantime she wrote
home to her brother, stating the facts, and
asking him to come on and take her home
The brothar arrived yesterday, having
heard nothing of Young, but upon hearing
of the rather singular conduct of that in
di:idual, aud taking into consideration
that he was comparative stranger in
Tuscarowas county, about whose antecc-
dents no one knew anything, he readily
expressed the opinion that tue husband
had run OF without any intention of COM
ing back at all. The brother and sister
started home yesterday, the latter crying
like child, and the former manifesting
little patience with what he called her
tOollshnesS.
