Important from WashinEtoa--The TX
traOrdlnaFy Demands Of South CarOllna.
The news from Washington Lust evening
win strike every one with astonishment and
regret il not with alarm. It was expected,
after the return of the Star Of the West, that
the settlement of the question which is now
breaking up this republic would assume aless
belligerent character, giving the conservatives
of the country some hope Of a peaceful solu-
of the trouble.
1t now appears that the authorities OF South
Carolina are determined upon bloodshed,
unless they can have possession of all the
forts in the harbOr OF Charleston. Colonel
Hayne, the Commissioner from that State
who has just arrived in Washington, made
the demand yesterday upon the Executive of
the United States for the immediate aud
absolute surrender Of Fort Sumter to South
Carolina; or, accept and alternative of an
attack by the troops of that State upon that
castle. We were not appriRed, when our
paper went to press this morning, what reply
the President made b Colonel Hayne; but it
was thought, from the position lately assumed
by the government, that this extraordinary
demand of South Carolina wouldnot be com
piled with.
Our previously received intelligence from
Charleston advised US of the determination
of the authorities to take the fort at any
sacrifice Of life, and Of arrangements which
had been made to carry this determination
into effect The effort will no doubt be made,
for its capture seems to be a point OF honor
with South Carolina and it is the opinion Of
many military men, that with the reckless
enthusiasm now prevailing in Charleston, the
attack will be successful one, although, if
resisted, with immense loss OF life.
We are thus on the eve OfeiVil war, If the
President refuses to withdraw Major Ander-
son, it will become necessary TO strengthen
him with men and ships if al assault be made
upon the castle. These reinforcements will
create such intense feeling of hostility through
out the Cotton States that we may consider
civil war inaugurated with the report of the
FIRST gun from Fort Sumter. Four States are
out of the Union and prepared for the worst
Georgia meets in Convention to-day, and
will secede before the close of the week
Two or three State delegation have already
Withdrawn from Congress, and others are
prepared to follow in the face OF these start
ling events, what is Congress doing to stay
this alarming progress Of revolution? What
is the President elect doing to prevent the
overthrow Of the repubhc2 Nothing
nothing.

There was a significant debate in the lower
House of the South Carolina Legislature on
the 9th on a motion to cut down the appro-
pristiou for building the State House, from
$4,000 to 1900. Mr.. Mullins urged the re-
trenchment and let littlelight upon the sub
ject in the following fashion; He said that it
seemed to him that gentlemen did not realize
the condition Of the finances Of the State.
There was a large SIM remaining Of the ap-
preparation bill of last year unproTided for.
The Committee of Ways and Means, starting
out, had meet an appropriation ofSlOO,OOO
originally appropriated. Last year. S6l2,
were appropriated for roads. That amount
would be necessary for the ordinary service
of the year gone By. To that put on the $500,
600 appropriated for the ordnance Depart
ment, and the appropriation of5OO, 600 already
sanctioned by resolution of the House, and
it amounted to more than fifteen hundred thoUs-
and dollars, which was either to be raised by
taxation or the credit of the State. Did gentle
men mean to tell him they were prepared
to raise a million and half of dollars by tax
alton this year would they tell their consti-
tuents that they would increase their burdens
in order to continue the CONSTRUCTION of the
new State House2
Mr.. Shannon thought that the material
wealth was as great as ever, and be believed
that the purs of the miser would be openned to
the State in this emergency. All patriotic pri-
vate citizens would offer Of their abundance
to the State, and those who were able would
not even accept compensation for their services.
Mr.William Whaley said that they were
not ordinary times. The State had been COM
mitted to the stormy ocean, with her helm
lashed down, and standing onher beam ends
If it were necessary throt0 oUer part Of the
cargo to save her from being swamped; if it
was necessary to make pecuniary sacrifices, he
trusted in God that from the mountain to the
seaboard men would come up to the relief of
the treasury. While it was praisewOrthy
of them to spend of their means in support OF
their State, it would be wrong in the House
to appropriate one single dollar if they could
avoid it.
1t was finally decided by a vote of 80 to 43
that the State Bank should be called on to
advance $4,000.

A Washington writer says that South
Carolina already begins to End that an indie
pendent government is an expensive luxury.
To meet resent appropriations and provide
for other expenditures, it has been proposed
to tax slaves at sixteen dollars each. For
merly they paid only seVenty-fve cents each.
The whole number is 400, 900. Sixteen dol
lars tax would produce a revenue of Sc, to0,-
600, all of which would be consumed in a
single year of civil war. The value Of cot
ton exported in 1859 was less than sixteen
and half millions and the total domestic
imports less than eighteen millions The tax
above alluded to, would amount to over thir-
ty-three and one-third per cent. of the e1-
ports in time Of peace.

INTERESTING TRoN FORT sUMTER.

have bad an interesting conversation
to-day with Lieut.. Hall, bearer Of dispatches
from Major Anderson to the President. He
represents the condition of affairs at Fort
Sumter to be healthy and satisfactory. The
reports that Major Anderson is short of sup
plies, and that his men are on short allow
ance, is untrue. BE has provisions and sup
plies for three or four months, and by eeono-
my, should it be necessary, they can be ex-
tended considerably beyond that time.
His description of the scene in the fort
when the firing at the Star Of the West was
progressing, is exceedingly interesting. He
says that the next day after the Star of the
West left, two or three large briggs which had
been purchased in Savannah, were sunk in
the channel. He says he has no doubt that
extensive preparations have been and still are
being made to defend the city. For some
time back, immense cargoes of cotton have
passed into the harbOr to be used in defence
Of the city, in what manner he does not
know. 1t may be in floating batteries. He
says that Governor Pickens informed him
that he had rendered to him over twenty
thousand volunteers but that he had declined
them. He notified them, however, to hold
themselves in readiness. He says in all his
intercourse with the authorities they have
treated him and the officers of the fort with
great kindness. Should it become necessary,
lie says, they can shell the city with perfect
ase with their heavy guns and all the bat
cries on Morris Island.
