CHARLESTON, 3. c., March IL, 1861.
The Rebels are growing suspicious at the de-
lay in ordering Maj. Anderson 10 quit Fort sum-
ter. They think they smell rat Some do not
hesitate to declare the belief that the whole thing
is Il disguise Of plan devised by Gen. Scott TO
reinforce the Major. This view seems to have
been concurred ia by Gen. Beauregard and Gov.
Pickens; for the guards at the mouth Of the har-
Dor have been doubled within the last few Days
The men on the Islands are instructed to relax
none of tboir vigilance, and everything is ordered
with the idea that since an attempt TO reinforce
Fort Sumter may be made, it is best to proceed
on the suppOsiton that it will be.
There is not the least intention here on the
part of any one to allow Maj. Anderson 10 leave
the Fort ~ bis own way, and in whatever con-
dtioB he thinks best. but il will be insisted that
present condition. Particularly viii the putting
in execution of the idea Of blowing up the Fort
which has been suggested in some quarters, and
which has considerably stirred up Beaurogard,
| Pickens g. Co., be objected to. II is now
certain that, at the least the Government
will be required to stipulate that no at
tempt in disguise, or otherwise, to reinforce
the Fort will be made, and that in all
respects it shall DO left intact, before Maj. An
derson will be suffered to leave This will CON-
| pei recognition Of the Rebel authority. In ad-
dition, it is not unlikely that the garrison will
be required to strike their flag aud march out
| as prisoners of war. The Rebels have the power
so to order, if they choose. They maintain, with
Maj. Anderson, that, for upward Of two months,
Fort Sumter has been in state Of seige, as
| much 80 as it possibly could be, without bom-
bardment. and that the order for the withdrawal
of Maj. Anderson is purely aud solely because
that neltaer be Ror his Government is strong
enough to hold out longer. Why'then, say they,
should he not be required 10 surrender accord.
! ing to the rules and practice Of wari On mill
tary principles, says Gen. Beauregard, it must
be 90; If reasons of State exist for doing the
thing in another way, JEFF. Davis must say 30.
Besides, the Rebels say they have been at In
expense Of several millions to bring matters to
| the present pass, and that they ought 10 have
something to show for 1t, either by way Of
record or something more substantial. To allow
Major Anderson TO march out under his own
! flag and 10 his own way, would, under these
! circumstances, it is rsaintaned, be humiliating.
! The Federal Government has been to no expense,
AID must yield this much.
Whether views aud arguments like these will
fsaly prevail and Major Anderson be compelled
10 surrender his garrison as prisoners Of war,
aud the Rebels thus gain recognition Mt last,
or whether he will be allowed to evacuate in the
sense 10 which that operation is understood by mill
tary men, is for JEFF. Davis to determine.
Agents and members Of New-York firms have
recently been in this city prospecting with refer
ence to removing here 20 as TO take advantage
of JEFF. Davis'- tariff, and escaping the new Fede
raj law. They have gone on to Savannah, Mobile,
New.QrleaDs &c. The truth is, Charleston is
not an inviting point in all respects. In tho frat

characteristic of CaroliniaRs does not afford that
assurance OF stability winch il the first demand of
trade everywhere. Even now the idea aud pur.
pose exist in South Carolina Of seceding frcm
the new ConfeGeracy so that another revolution,
at no distant day, is probable These things are
not inviting to capitalists. In other respects
Charleston is not, on examination, IN inviting
point. It's harbor Is the poorest one of any mag
nitude on the coast To keep it open TO ships
of moderate draft constant dredging is necessary,
and even then they are compelled to await the

Government.
