Had the course which Major Anderson adopted
been in obedience to the orders of the President it
would have brought the revolution in South Caro-
lima to a crisis, and that State would be compelled
either to recede come to an INN Mediate collision
with the federal government AS the matter now
stands, collision is not inevitable, and time may
be gained for the restoration of amicabe relations
Our despatch says it will be next to impossible to
prevent collision, and that an attack i'll be made
the forts by the excited people. Thus does the
revolution advance with rapid strides. How or
where it will end, Heaven only knows. Meantime,
such is the situation of affairs that it requires the
prompt nterposition of the statesmanship the wis.
dom and the patriotism of the country to avert the

The general opinion seems to be that Major An
derson has taken this step on his own responsibility,
and without orders of any kind from Washington.
If this should prove to be the case, he will have
already established for himself hold on the ad-
miration and affection of the country, which will
not easily be weakened Or impaired. His move
ment awakens the courage and the hope of the
to the possible fate of his command and Of the
American flag, in the position they held before We
presume that it prompted by intelligence of an
intention on the part of the Disunionist to occupy
Fort Sumter the moment they should hear of the
failure of their commission to Washington.

WHITE GUNPowDER.-A letter from London SAYS:
az have heard in the city of a curious invention,
which concerns alike sportsman, rileman, and the
scientific. 1t is the manufacture of white gun
powder. 1t is made no mystery of, being composed
Of yellow potassa chloride of potassium loaf sugar
crystalized sugar and birthstone. 1t possesses su-
periOr qualities over the black powder, being
quicker and more powerful in its action, and not
fouling the gun. For the delicate in the olfactory
nerves, it may be added that it is without nm.
pleasant smell. It has Just been patented. y
