Dispatches from Fort pickcns state
that the gurrison is short Of provisions
and can hold out but q short time. None
but official commune ltion is permitted

CHARLESTON, s. c. March l6, 1861.
We have collapsed Tho fact that
Anderson and his seventy men are going
to leave Fort Sumter and that there is
going to be no fight here has taken the
meat out Of the nut, and left nothing but
shucks. The floating battery is done and
ready to blaze away, but nobody now
cares whether it is success or a failure.
| confess to a disappointment, for have
been confidently counting on witnessing
n fight. II all we hear IS true, Pensacola
will be the scene of the first conflict
Convinced of this, not few Carolinians
have made up their minds to take a hand
in it. Gen. Bragg will. therefore be
strengthened by volunteers from heren-
bouts within the next few days.
The & neral JOY that war has been
uvortcd at this point is unmistakable. A
mountain seems to have been lifted, and
everybody is hopeful. All that the revo-
luton had lived 90 has been excitement
with hostile prospect. The supports

The prospect of collision with the FEEDER

pie. This being over, disunion and con-
tention already appear. The JEFF. Da'
Wis Constitution is the element Of discord
The disappointments growing out Of Off
cial appointments is scarcely less fruitful
while the certainty of debt, taxation, and
the penalty OF sundered relations, come
in 70 increase the dissatisfaction.
In commercial circles, the possibility
not to say probability, that tho Fcdova
Government will undertake to collect the
revenue on the deck Of vessels of war al

am assured by a gentleman well able to
speak, that very generally commercial
men here are heartily sick Of the whole
Secession business, and wish themselves
through with It. They have suffered
enough, and | am persuaded that there cx'
lists willingness to return to the Union
which would manifest itself should op'

ing papers ~ the Cotton States, compluin-
ing Of the non-submission Of The perman-

latter paper, the following sentences Of
which we for a second time reproduce:
There II no way cyading the premises
VIC have resumed; hence the conclusion
at which we have arrived is unavoidable,
viz: That the Constitution Tor the per-
mnncnt Government, before Mississippi
becomes n party TO the compact, must Be
submitted directly 10 hc rois Of the Te0-
pie Of he STATE. IL il is not done, the
question Of the right Of the people 20 form
their own Government, may require prac-
tical solution, lclorc the new order is
fully established. They will not hold
themselves bound BY a Government

they are contradictory and dclusivc. But
we do not think il was the design of the
Convention 10 have the action Of the
Montgomery Congress submitted to
them, in opposition TO submission 60 a
vote Of the people. On the contrary,
from repeated conversations with mcn-
bcrs Of the State Convention ON this sub
irCt, we urC led 90 the belief that il was
their intention 10 have the permanent
Government sent back tu the State Com
vcnlion, and by It submitted TO tho popu-

matter of paramount importance that
there should be no mistuking the demands

that which was hastily put upon il by

long Os ho was able; and il the Union is

the Federal Government should have to
deal with States holding It's property than
with unau .horzcd mohS, such as the one
which Gen, Houston alleged was about
to seize the forts in Texas.

accounts for his conduct by supposing
