city. 1t was rumored tlat they embo-
died orders for the concentration of
the vessels composing the squadron at
the mouth Of the Mississippi and at
the harbor of Pensacola.
Our Washington dispatches are
highly important. Lieut.. Hall, the
messenger dispatched by Major An
derscn, for instructions from head
quarters, has started on his return to
Fort Sumter The exact nature of
the instructions which he carries with
him are Of course not known, but it is
ascertained with sufficient certainty
that the Government has no intention
of withdrawing the troops from the
position which they now occupy, and
that Major Anderson is instructed
peremptorily to defend himself to the
best Of his ability if attacked. Col.
Hayne, the messenger from Gov.
Pickens, who left Charleston at the
same time with Lieut., Hall, still re-
mains in Washington, and it is under
stood that he has considerably modi-
fed his views relative to his duties du-
ring his sojourn there. He has, it is
stated, telegraphed t. Gov. Pickens
this fact, and has asked for further in
structions. Meantime, however he
has called upon President Buchanan,
and presented verbally the adtimotpna
| of South Carolina, which is understood
to insist npon the withdrawal Of the
troops from Fort Sumter The Pres
icent requested Mr.. Hayne to put his
! communication in writing, when 1t
onld be considered-which was all
the satisfaction he gave him 1t was

A dispatch received from Georgia
states that Cobb was defeated as a
delegate to the State Convention from
Banks county, 1t is not strange that
the county should repudiate him after
his bad management of the Federal
Treasury.
The Governor of North Carolina
has ordered the State troops to evae-
uate the forts of which they have Ia
ken unlawful possession.
He is determined that no overt act
of treason shall be committed. The
news is received with great satisfac-
ton by the friends of the Union.
1t is positively stated that Gov.
Pettis, of Mississippi, has placed a
battery at Vicksburg, for the purpose
Of preventing the passage of steam
boats up and down the river. Should
this lie so, Louisiana herself would re-
volt from the Secessionists and the
great valley Of the Northwest would
be filled with armed men.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l9.-I learn on
high authority that the Demands of
Col. Hayne, the commissioner from
South Carolina, have been materially
modified at the request of the South
ern members of Congress, who insist
upon it that South Carolina shall not
proceed with further acts of hostility,
expecting thereby to receive the coun
tenanee and support of her sister
States
Before proceeding further therefor,
Col Hayne will communicate with
the Governor of South Carolina on
the wishes of the Southern Senators
and Representatives; and it is be-
lieved the result will be, that matters
for awhile will rest as they are
Everything is now far more in favor
of an early adjustment of difficulties

Why MAJOR ANDERSON DID NOT
PRoTEcT THE STAR OF THE WEST. -
We have at last the true reason why
Major Anderson did not protect the
Star of the West, while on the way to
reinforce him. He had no knowledge
whatever concerning the movements
Of the Star Of the West or of her trans
ports. The first intimation that
reached him was the booming Of can
non from Morris Island and Fort
Mouitrie. When we saw the national
flag hoisted at her masthead, and
heard the firing repeated, his batteries
facing Fort Moultrie and the ship
channel were uHmasked, manned, and
the gunners stationed with matches in
their hands, waiting the signal to fire.
The steamer turned and put to sea,
and thus the bloody reckoning was
averted This statement will explain
the general terms of his first letter to
Governor Pickens concerning firing
upon the flag, as he had none of the
information concerning the steamer
which was familiar to everybody else.
Had he known her mission, Fort
Moultrie would have been battered
down.

brief but comprehensive term for the numsr-
Gus diseases which affect the stomach, liver, and
in fact the whole human system. Until DR..
