Henceforsh n Southern ConIedofacy il 10 be-
the ruling idea. The action Of South Caroiius,
20 fur az il can be- controlled, viii be shaped as-
eordingly. jefferson Dayis, who arrived here
this morning. came 90 enforce tAis idea, AID a
modified policy. lie was immediately called GU
by Gov. Pickens, several Of his counsCors, and
number Of the more distinguished actors IN the
drama of iSsbelli.n. lie urged the Importance of
cutivatng Il coed understanding with Maj. An
derson, as5 insisted that there ought to be no
collision by an attack on Fort Sumter. While
the leaders are disposed to agree on such q
course the fre-eaters and The armed mass who
thus far have had their way, are strongly dr.
posed to eejeet it., and have fight. With them
a fight lie the grand dea; without it, Secession
would be a failure. 10 adopt the Jef. Davis
policy, tbes say, would be 30 back down; for il
would neosssitate Ito avoid eXpense) the dis
banding Of mort Of tie army nos in the field,
which, with an oath, pay declare would be
clean back-elt-a rehearsal Of the farce Of march
ing up the hill ard then marching down again.
If thu pence policy prevails, it all b. ut the o.
pense of mach Of the entlusiasm that has up to
this moment prevailed among tho masses. The
idea Of doing nothing rash, and Of cooperating
with the other Cotton States for the formation
OF Southern Contcdersey, il a glowing one,
and, think, d5 destined to prevail, unless Fort
Pickons, at HAasacOla, should be assa.lod, when
the South Cs-o!iBisns would not consent TO wait
longer. Their boast IS TO be frat in everything; tue
slightest Circumstance would ut any moment give
ils impetus necessary to produce collision. The
suspicion that single soldier Of marine wcs o. the
3ay from any quarter Of the globe 10 reinforce
Fort Sumter, would be quite enough. The I'm
eAtations and hGwlilss over tho strategy OF Asj.
Anderson that placed him in possession Of F9-t

less percewible than Iley were ten days ago.
