FROM CHARLESTON.

The Charleston Courier has the following
relative to the stoppage Of supplies TO Fort
Sumter:
The orders which some dispatches and ac-
counts have been antici pating for several days,
have now been issued for the suspension OF All
supplies between Fort Sumter and the city
This step is not taken TOO soon, but, we De-
lieve, of the use and Improvement we nave
made by the delay, we cannot say, with some,
that it was deferred too long. There Is reason
for believing that the reports of orders from
Washington for evacuation have only been &C.
signed to deceive and beguile Fortunately,
thoy ha va failed IN that, so far as vigilance
and preparations on the part OF the STATE nave
been concerned. .
