lxnwa FROM rHR SOUTH.
The Dis,hionists have taken possession Of the
telegraph 1iros al Charleston, and il is there
forc unsah to send any dispatches from any
othor Southern station giving true account Of
tho condition Of things in that section.
Starvation is impending in many paris q
South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, and Loui'
ainna.
There is littIc or no money in circulation In
the Cotton States, and Notwithstanding the sue
pension Of nearly all the Southern banks, their
paper has greatly deprecated
The people hive ia constant fear Of rising OF
tho slaves Ia most ofthe Southern States. These
fears, whether real OF Imaginary, are producing
universal alarm.
The SIM hasa special despatch from Charles
ton, saying That ihe carpenters and brioklayers
from baltimore, employed at Fort sump'cr, re,
fuse 10 boar arms against South Carolina ana
having been discharged by Major Andersen,
ihav win return home in the steanler hsy,ione.
The Charleston Courier, snys that Major
Anderson has achieved the uneuyiabie disuocnon
Of openine civil war between American citizens
vannct Of rrosa breach Of filth, aud that he has
virtually and grossly violated q solemn pledge
given BY his chief aud accepted by South Caro-
linn, and he had all possible assurance from
South Carolina that his honor, and position and
duty would DO respected until proper and open
declaration of war.
Major Anderson alleges that the movement
WAS made without ordera and upon bis own re-
sponshility, aud that he was not aware OF suof
an understanding. af
a gentleman, a Northern man, but now a resi-
dent in Florida, who lately returned from tina
State brings startling intelligence. He soy
that even Fioridn has become eort of garrison
that tho people are arming and organizing nigh
and day that Savannah is rapidly assuming
military appearances.
DIsuHIes IN THE POCKET.
Disunion says the Philadelphia Press, is like
VITO be more disastrous TO material and peou
mary interests than II will be to human life
The South Carolina Legislature proposes
compel merchants and other men Of property I
subscribe to the State loan by threats cfpersoni
violence. Some are told that unless they ray
thousand dollars each their houses will
burned down. Some have paid it aud have he
to the North, aud Il is generally believed that
tax hos been levied upon each STAKEHOLDER
sixteen dollars q head for each slave owned |
them. The financial agent Of South Cardiff
was in New York few days ago, to raise fo'
hundred thousand dollars on the bond Of III
State. He called upon Messrs. Belmont, Du
can, sherman, and others, and, after falling
his mission, shook the dust Of the Empire Ci
from his feet, put on his cockade, and we
home. Nothing is so likely to reach the co
science Of the Disunionists as to touch the poe
ct nerve.

Of Bunker Hill, died on last Wednesday NOR
ing al the residence of his son, in Acton, Matt
