dust and cut the jugular vein of AbOtonsm, by mob
bing one slender gray-hared man, and two strong
minded" women. These wild Bovines in defiance of
law and order, trampled into the hall of st. James
and worried the three helpless fanatics with their hide
ous bellowings through two days. The Mayor came
to the rescue looked the herd bravely and steadily in
the face, made noble manly speech, and commanded
the police some fifty sixty in number, admitted for
the express purpose of keeping order to do their duty
and drive these nhuman inteopers back TO ther bur-
rowe But what could he do more than utter brave
words His police, being Democrats would not obey
the orders of the new yelected Republican Mayor 20
far from IT, they joined the mob themselves, eheored
and encouraged by respectable men from the Demo
cratic and BeEverett ranks-among them the dis
tiDguished JUNIORS of Milard Fillmore and Horalio
Seymour.

FROM SOUTH CAROLINA.
POSSIBLE EVACUATION OF FORT
SUMTER,

froV Our Owp Correspondent
CHARLESTON, s. c., Jan. Ii, 1861.
If from anything have said in my previou
letters the public has gained the Impression tina
there exists q strong probability that Fort Sum
ter will before many days be evacuated, withOu
the firing of gun, it is not my present purpose
to dispel such impression. The twO-days visi
of the Governors Secretaries of War and State
60 the fort the prOtracted conferences, and the
leaving of Lieut.. Hall on Saturday evening for
Washington with dispatches from Major Ander-
SOD, accompanied by the Attorney General, to
say nothing of the rumOrs ahOat all to the same
import favor the belief that important steps are
about TO be taken.
OF the reasons which will lead to them I will
not undertake to speak. Primarily is the fact
That the Government has failed to sustain Mai.
Anderson. 1t may be considered by the Federal
authorities that, in view of the extent 70 which
Enatters have progressed it is best to avoid civil
war at any cost. Another step could not be
Gaken without bringing it on 1t may be fair to
presume that if Fort Sumter is evacuated, Fort
Moutrie and Castle Plnekney likewise will be,
aud oil hostile demonstrations viii cease in the
AArbor, and perhaps the collection Of the revenue
will be conceded to the Federal Government till
matters shall be settled one way or other.
Notwithstanding all they have said and done,
Ear0iinians wish to avoid war with the Federal
Government. Their best blood will be the first
that will be split. The first families of this city
are represented at the batteries and at the points
where the conflict will commence, and where il
? will be deadliest. Hence the firing on the Star
IL ofar off, ~ har A
certain class thought it was very fine; but they
who have yet the capacity to reflect knew it
-wss an overt act of war; and it would be rea-
sonahle to expect to have laid on them heavy
hand. The hours that ensued after the act till
4he next reports came concerning the course OF
the Government, were hours Of intense anxiety;
nDd when it become probable that the chastise-
inert would be withheld, the relief was cores
pOndipgly great.
Ia The moment may therefore have been favora-
Bile one for opening negotiations looking to the
grounding of arms, and perhaps concessions on
both sides, with the view of transferring the
question to Washington.
There Is minority in Charleston and in South
Narclinn, not only as to the extremes to which
matters have been pushed, but ON the naked
question OF Secession itself. am assured that
many members of the old fames-the names
/. that have given The State charaeter-the
Lovndeses, the Rutledges, the Pettigrews, and
Others equally distnguished-are still for the
Uuion firmly as ever. They have been o7erborne
by the iinpetuOus current which later genera
tion have created, aRd which is expendiug itself
