MISCELLANEOUS.
THE ADDRESS TO THE SOUTH.
The Address OF The People ofSeu.ll
Carolina, Assembled fan Comycn-
ton, TO the People OF the Slave
holding STATES OF the United
States.

Il is scventv-tlrec years since the Union be-
tween the United States was made by the
Constitution of the United States During
this time, their advance in wealth, prosperity
and power, has been with scarcely parallel in
the history of the world. The great object Of
their Union was external defence from the ag-
oressions of more powerful nations; which OBJ
iect is now attained from their mere progress
in power. Thirty -onc millions of people, with
a commerce and navigation which explore eve
" sea, and with agricultural productions which
arc necessary to every civilized people, com
lnand the friendship of the world But un-
fortunately. our internal peace has not grown
with our external prosperity. Discomfort and
contention have moved in the bosom of the
Confcdcracy for the last tllirty-fvc years. DG-
ring this time, South Carolina has twice called
her pic together in solemn Convention, to
take into consideration the aggrcssions and un-
constitutional wrongs pcrpetrated 10y the pco,
plc of the North on the people of the South
These wrongs were Submitted to by the people
of til. South, under the hope and expectation
that they would be final. But such hope and
expectation have proved to be vain. Instead
of producing forLcarancc, our acquicscencc has
only instigatcd to new forms of aggression and
outrage; and South Carolina, again assembling
her people in Convention, has this day dissolv-
ed her connection with the States constituting
the United States
The one great evil, from which all other
evils have flowed, is the overthrow of the Con-
stitution of the United States. The Govern.
nent of tue United States is no longer the Go.
yernment of Confcdcrated Republics, but of a
consolidated Democracy. it is no longer free
Government, but dcspotism. 1t is, in fact
such Government as Great Britain attempt
cd to set over our fathers; and which was re.
sisted and defeated by seven years struggle

'Fi,e Events Of Yesterday.

Charleston was yesterday morning thrown
into a state OF the widest excitement, bv the
news that the United States troops had been
transferred from Fort Moutrc to Fort Sumter.
At first the flying runors were ST. numerous
and 50 contradictory That it WIS no easy matter
to get at the truth; but i'll short time the
leading facts began to be pretty well establish
ed. It sccnls that on Wednesday night, about
eight o'clock, Major Anderson and his com
mand having spiked tho guns fired the gun
carriages of Fort MouIlric, andsawed down TIE
flagstaff, evacuated the place, and took posses
sion of Fort Sumter instead. The ladies, who
had hitherto lived in the fort, had been prcvi-
lousIy sent to Charleston, and, whatever tilrn.-
lurc, ammunition and provisions that could be
moved without exciting suspicion, had been
quietly transferred to Fort Sumter. The report
that the dcfenccs of Fort Moultric hal been So
sliamcfuIly mtilatcd, naturally aroused great
indignation in the city. People Immediately
sought the stncpIcs and cupo!as Of tho public
buildings, and telescopes were brought into &C
tive rcqnisilion, to gratty the general curios V
Little, however, could be described beyond /;
dense smoke issuing from within the ramparts
and large gangs of men at work unloading tn,
carcos O. srhonncrs into Fort Samtcr.

ndu ~hoss ns!o rs!sra i11a Fl awaited eddy BY
thousands.
The answer of Maj. Anderson las net
transpirrti, but we arc informed on the best
authority that he acknowledges the act OF de-
scrting Fort Moulrc and repairing to Fort
Sumtcras entirely his own and rs done without
specific orders.
We have other information that Major An
,!crson for some time has INDUCED cous ant
apprchcnsiolls OF an unauthorized and tunuItu-
ulls attack On Fort Aoultric. If he has acted
under such nisapprchcnsion<, he has committed
the error which officers always commit when
they take counsel under panic.
lie has VII t.laIIy and grossly violated o.cnn
pledge given iy his Chief aud accepted by
oou,n CaroIina; and he had ui possible ASST
rancc from South Carolina that his honor, and
position, aud duly would be respected until Il
proper aud open declaration of war. While
tho enemies OF South Carolina have been false
" accusing her OF VIOLENCE and precipitation,
and have Uccn cndcayorn., by exciting rumors,
to urge her or her suus 10 such premature
demonstrations, South Carolina took her posi-
ton houorab;y and fairly.
Major Anderson has clandrstincly takcll
refuge in an unfinished fortress, and las Tits
violated the solemn pledges that assured lis that
Fort Sumter would not be garlisoned.
1t is not our duty 1T present to estimate tho
reasons which have nupclcd this act, which is
| without precedent III The records otthe United
Stat Is Army--an army whose honor has never
suffered when i'll the Keeping Of South Carona
Our feelings warn lis, however, to defer com
lncuts and to await developments, for We could
not willingly do injustice even to such foe.
Soon after the steamer which bore the dis
patch from Gov. Pirkcis had lett Fort Sumter
to return, the United States flag Was displayed
from that fortress, and it thus bgcanlc strong,
hn!d of defiance and insult to the State fol
whose defence it WAS commenced and dc.
signed.
