Mr.. Courdin, member of The South
Carolina Convention, went to Fort Sum

ley with Maj. Anderson.
All kinds of rumors prevail as to the
cause of sending of a flag of truce by
South Carolina last night. Some say that
disafiection exists among Maj. Anderson $
men, and others that surrender of Il e
fort is contemplated, and that it will be
evacuated. 1t is believed that pegotia
tons at Washing on are going on for a
peaceable surrender of the fort, and for
the cessation of the warlike attitude
Good authority credits this opinion.

~ Mr.. Toombs telegraphed TO Geor-

the forts. and the order of Gov. Brown
to that effect was doubtless prompted by
his dispatch. Thus the seizure of public
property and rebellion against the Gov
crnment are counseled openly from the
Senate. Gen. Jackson would have made

pertinent would not have been tried on

is growing tendency in this age to oappropri-
ate the most expressive words OF other Ian

is from the Greek, signifsing ''for the head"

with Mr. Spadlngs great Headache remedy,
but it will soon be used in a more general
way, and the word Cephalic will become as
