FROM SOUTH CAROLINA.
ORDER IN WARSAW.
From o.. Own CeuespOnSeps.

CHARLESTON, S. G., Jan. 10, 1851.
"Order reigps in Warsaw" The correspond
| ence between Mai. Anderson and Gov. Pickeus
having led to the transfer By the former Of the
complication growing out Of the affair Of the
North Star, yesterday, to the Federal Govern
mept, we have tOlerable certainty of peace for
| few days, unless something new should occur to
renew the scenes Of yesterday. The excitement
| has in good degree collapsed. The anticipated
opening by Fort Sumter on Fort Moultrio and
the batteries did not come of, and many Of the
troops sent down yesterday are being withdrawn
to-day.
The Reyolutionists do not expect, by any
means, that the affair viii end there. They are
I expecting q vigorous policy on the part Of the
Federal Government. From the roports re.
eeiyed from Mobile, Florida, ana the Federal
ports generally now in almost every instance in
the bands Of the Secessiouists, II viii have its
hands full. There are dozen places where tie
scenes in Charleston will in q measure at
least have to be played over strong yolnn-
teer force has gone 10 Florida to take possession
of the strong and numerous Notifications on her
coast, including tho new fort at Tortogas, which
commands the Gulf. The ReyolItonists here de-
rive great comfort from THE prospect. They ex.
pect. within ten days. to be backed by Nissis-
sipp.. Alabama, and Florida, and within very
snort time by all the Cotton and Gull States, In
GLIDING Louisiana; and ultimately by the entire
Slayeholding States. To say the least, the pros.
pect Of realization Of much Of this is at pres-
! ent good.
Letters are said 10 have been found written
| by J. ". MerrmaD, Collector Of the Port Of
| Georgetorb, s. c., 10 Mr. Buchanan. "h'eh
have led TO his arrest Tor treason. Ims shows
that there is something rotten IN Denmark. "
| II il belieyed Mr.. Merrimah is not alone.
Cart s. Adkins has been appointed TO CON-
mund the Marion, in place Of Capt. Whiting
| presume that hereafter that steamer will sa1
under the flag OF the rebels.
All ships departing from the port OF Charles
ton are now cleared in the name Of " tho Sow
ereipn State of South Carolina" VIII not ships
| found navigating the ocean with clearances of
| this description be lawful prizes
| II seems that Capt. Whiting Of the steamer
Marion left here so suddenly yesterday not with
out good reason. l have it on good authority
| that, had he remained only few hours longer,
his leaving alive would have been a doubtful
| matter. / am assured that arrangements were
in progress for lynching hini-certainly for witt
ing him with great personal violence. This
grew out Of the fact that tho Captain is
sturdy Union man, which sentiment he uttered
on all proper occasions, though never ofensiycy.
Added 10 this-and this, perhaps, wac the moro
immediate cause or pretext-was the fact that
on biz last trip out Of Charleston Harbor, on
passing Fort Sumter, he set tho American en-
sign in answer 10 the raising the American
| flag over the fort. The Palmetto flag, which is
| and ever has been the private signal Of the line
! in which the Marion sails was also set. The
| act was construed by the Revolutionsts who with
gasses, were watching the Marion, to BIO recog.
milton Of Maj. Anderson, o sign Of sympathy
| with him; more than all as evidence Of pat
riotic devotion 10 the stars and stripes. This was
Capt. Sam. Writings crime, for which his life
was threatened in Charleston yesterday, and
for which be was compelled to fly from the city.
Nor did he dsayoH it; and more is the honor
TO him that he did not. / an able TO say that
under circumstances calculated to try mans
| backbone, he steadily but courteously refused
unquaIfedly 70 raiae the hsg Of the reyolutionsts
in place of the stare and stripes over the deck
Of his chip. For this no has probably lost his
place; but what IL Of more consequence to him,
he has preserved his honor and good name I
presume Capt. Whiting is in Now-York now;
and l trust be will be remembered. II he is
not ut the New-York Hotel, presume inquiry
there viii lead 10 knowledge Of his wherea.
bouts. Let me remark that Capt. Sam. Whiting
Ia not less man Of letters and learning than q
sailor. He was one Of tie chief officers under
Capt, HaYtstein--who now los forsaksn his
country's flag and joined the disanionists--in the
expedition that rescued Or. Xsre in the Polar
regions lie has Likewise served honoIably in
the editorial profession.
According TO the reports Of the Ecvo.a.iotdsts

the West received three shots, one through her
wheehouse, one forward, and another plump IN

The guns were served BY the Arsensl Cadess Of
this city, who take not little credit TO them
selves for The way in which they did the busi'

the performance. They claim TO have gained tho
first victory in thus beating Of the srfs sssepPs
