CHaRLEsroS, April 3, 1851.
Our city has been filled. for the last two
days, with all kinds OF unreliable ramors, such
as the reinforcement Of the Florida Forts, the
evacuation of Sumter, &C, &c. but no one
here puts any confidence IN them at all. For
myself, as have before told you, have no
confidence at all In the pretensione of the
Black Republican Government, az Govern
ment You may call It, and hence have never
believed that Lincoln would order an eyacn-
alton.
1t is now made known TO our Government,
that Lincoln will not sign the order for
evacuation, but, rs predicted TO You, would
throw the whole responsibility of the nlea-
sure upon Maj. Anderson. This Is in keeping
with Lincoln and his party-a party governed
by indreetion, tact, schemhig. trading, ''thiIn-
ble-rigging," low art, and cunning. To sfdrre
n bravo soldier as Anderson into submission
il what we dislike, but we shall have to do
that, or kill him, and we prefer, of course, TO
force the poor fellow out by starvation.
You see that we have the correspondent.
Jasper" of the New York Times, in our
midst. He has been permitted to visit the for
tifcatons, and he has given very truthful
account of them.
The New York Herald has its reporter here,
too, and ne, also, visited the batteries on Nor
riss Island, by permission. He gives credit
| for nineteen batteries, when We have only ten
on that island. The fact is, the fellow got
tight as soon as he reached the island, and
| they took him round, commencing at battery
No. l, and when they got 10 NO. 10 they turn
! ed him round once or twice, and took hin back
the same route, and when they got back TO
/ the iron battery he made out No. TO-

| is remarkable that our Banks are tilled with
very young men. The old theory is exploded
here, that middle ged, or steady old men, are
most reliable for great moneyed concerns. In
| Presidents are over fifty years of age and not
one of the Cashiers exceed forty, and the
Tellers and Book keepers are all very young
men, especially in the Bank of Charleston,

Our city continues crowded The Alabama

and they bring the money with them. Ths
