Major Anderson had been ordered to hold the fort, to protect the work, and he ry of War had given any orders for the evacuation of the post.--Major Anderson had done this on his own responsibility, thinking that by such ves. How it was managed. We hear that on Christmas day Major Anderson dined formally with the secession authorities — chiefs — in Chahemselves take a Christmas night frolic, and in the midst of which Anderson and his force spiked Moultrie's guns and landed safely in Fort Sumter.

papers of the North, so far as the mails have brought them to us, since the announcement of Col. Anderson's coup de main, are generally commenting on that act, even on the part of conservative journrcy of any mob that could charter a vessel and effect a landing on its wharf. As it is now, Major Anderson, with his little force, is "master of the position." This measure, though tardy, is in the r them consideration and applause. As it was supposed, and, as the event proves, truly, that Major Anderson abandoned Fort Moultrie of his own accord, his praises were upon every tongue. On 'Chaked for. The New York Times, Republican, says: The general opinion seems to be that Major Anderson has taken this step on his own responsibility, and without orders of any kind from Washingtoould hear of the failure of their Commission to Washington. It is barely possible that Major Anderson may have acted under the orders of the President; but we do not believe it. The course which

From Washington. [special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Washington, Dec. 28, 1860. It is believed that Col. Anderson acted under orders from Gen. Scott; but this is denied by the General and the Administration, also. One thing is well known here, viz., that Gen. Scott is in favor of immediate force, even to the extent of sending large bodies of Federal troops into all of the Southern States. As a military man, it is natural he should urge strict obedience to the government; and, ecome Northern States, adding twelve to the Republican strength in the Senate. Very soon they will have the two-thirds requisite to amend the Constitution, and reconstruct the Supreme Court according to their own notions. Meantime, the fact of Anderson's holding South Carolina in check, will stiffen the Republican neck. They foresee that Fort Monroe will do as much for Virginia. With the navy they will blockade all our ports. Of a certainty, they will whip us in if they can. What can w

out the matter. As Virginians, as Southern men, we shall soon be called upon to take our stand in behalf of our common rights and our common honor. We must be brothers now. Up to ten o'clock last night, the President, after declaring that Anderson had acted in violation of orders, and of the written agreement, signed by his own hand, and carried to South Carolina by Mr. Miles, was undecided what to do in the premises — whether to order Anderson back to Fort Moultrie, where he belongs, or Anderson back to Fort Moultrie, where he belongs, or to keep him in Fort Sumter, and so disgrace himself (the President,) and the Secretary of War. Floyd threatens to resign. --Should he do so, a coercionist will take his place, and the dearest wish of the Abolitionists (it is foolish to butter them over any longer with the name of Republicans,) will be realized — civil war will begin before Lincoln comes into power. If it must come, (and there seems not the least hope of avoiding it,) let it come. As earnestly as I could, as early as I could,

The Charleston Forts. There seems to be a general concurrence of opinion that Major Anderson, in spiking the guns and burning the gun-carriages of Fort Moultrie, and removing his command to Forouth Carolina refraining from occupying Fort Sumter, the strongest fort in the harbor, commanding Major Anderson's position in Fort Moultrie, and entirely undefended. There has been no moment, from not have marched in and taken possession of Fort Sumter, and in twenty-four hours compelled Major Anderson to abandon Fort Moultrie, And yet, with all the manifest advantages of this step staring her, she has stood, like the gallant and high-toned State she is, by her plighted faith, whilst Major Anderson, with this noble example before him, and owing his existence and that of every man in his coth Carolina are yet in Washington, prepared to negotiate for the solution of that knot which Major Anderson, in rue military fashion, has cut with the sword. But mere soldiers are not always overstoc

unteering to defend the State by thousands. A good many Georgia militia are among the volunteers. The people continue in a high state of excitement on account of the occupation of the forts, and the great topic of discussion is, How far Major Anderson acted under orders, and what next? A single gun fired from either Fort Sumter or Fort Moultrie, would be the signal of mutual war. Gov. Pickens gives out that he took possession of Castle Pinckney and Fort Moultrie, in order to keep it fnd is taking advice upon the subject. The telegraph wires are said to be controlled by the State on all subjects of defence and politics. Assurances come here over the wires to-day, but not yet official, that the troops will be withdrawn. Anderson took advantage of the Christmas festivities to make his change in the forts. The rich people of the State are called upon to take the new State loan of $100,000, and some coercion may be used if there is any halt in subscribing. Most of th

From Washington. Washington Dec. 30. --The cause of Secretary Floyd's resignation is said to be the violation of the Administration's pledge in allowing Maj. Anderson to change the military status of Charleston Harbor, and the refusal to remand him to his original position. Secretary Floyd considered his honor pledged to South Carolina. He will return to Virginia, where he intends to carry out his policy of restraining against any overt act, till dissolution is inevitable. It is not certain that Maj. Anderson will remain at Fort Sumter. He may be yet remanded, provided satisfactory assurance can be given that he will not be attacked by the South Carolinians. It is stated that Gen. Scott submitted to the President, several days ago, a plan for blockading Charleston, besides strongly reinforcing all Southern garrisons, and for making other military preparations; but his plan was not favorably received.
