Among the items of news from Charleston floating around in secession circles, is a story that the Hon. Wm. Aiken has been made to disgorge, in aid of the cause, much against his will, as follows: He was notified that he was expected to advance $40,000 to that end; and plead his right to advance or not, as he might please, adding that he did not have the money. He was then promptly notified that he had been assessed that amount and must promptly pay it, under penalty of having it raised by the immediate confiscation and sale of his property in Charleston, worth many times as much. To save that from utter destruction, he did raise the amount demanded, and in paying it remarked, that his lot would be better if he was a journeyman carpenter at the North, shoving a jack-plane at $2 per day wages, than the South Carolina millionaire he was before it was essayed to reduce the South under a military despotism. He is now one of the suspected, his course in refusing to seem to be pleased

Jan. 24.--Advices from Charleston are, that the British Consul at Charleston has been instructed, and that the British Consul at New Orleans will be instructed, to certify to all clearances that may be issued from those ports. Also that the British and French Governments will recognize a Southern Confederacy.--Charleston Mercury.

Maj. Anderson has received a very considerable accession to the forces under his command. A correspondent states that he has reliable authority for asserting that ten or twelve officers and about three hundred men have been introduced into the fort, within the last fortnight. They are supposed to have been taken down by the Brooklyn, and to have been landed at night in small boats with muffled oars. This, if true, will account for the reports which, from time to time, have emanated from Charleston, of small boats having been seen at night rowing in the neighborhood of the fort. We may mention, as corroborative of this report, the fact, that letters have been received in this city from a gentleman who left here four weeks since, and is now within Fort Sumter. They are very guarded in their language, as if the writer did not repose unbounded confidence in the inviolability of letters intrusted to the Charleston Post-office. But of the fact that he has recently obtained access to the

Those brave men to succor, Still no aid is sent; Isn't James Buchanan A pretty President! James is in his Cabinet Doubting and debating; Anderson's in Sumter, Very tired of waiting. Pickens is in Charleston, Blustering of blows; Thank goodness March the Fourth is near, To nip Secession's nose. --Vanity Fair.

Feb. 25.--It is said that Jefferson Davis is at Charleston. Shortly after his arrival it was quietly arranged for him to pay a visit to Fort Sumter, which was accomplished privately. The interview is represented to have been an earnest and prolonged one, but all not immediately in the secret were left wholly to conjecture as to what took place between him and Major Anderson. It has, however, been knowingly given out at Charleston that there will be no fight at Fort Sumter--great stress evidor Anderson. It has, however, been knowingly given out at Charleston that there will be no fight at Fort Sumter--great stress evidently being placed upon the fact that these two old acquaintances in the army cannot be brought into bloody conflict with each other. On the other hand, it is believed that if the alleged visit had elicited any particular comfort for the great leader of the secession movement, such good news would not have been kept for private consumption merely.--New York Times.

the Cabinet, and was regarded as measurably practicable, but attended with the probability if not certainty of collision, which constituted the chief objection to its adoption. He is perfectly familiar with all the approaches to the harbor of Charleston, having been long connected with the Coast Survey, and had practical experience as the commander of one of Aspinwall's steamers. His scheme did not contemplate any serious danger in running the gauntlet of the batteries on the islands which gu, and before resorting to it, the Administration would be constrained to expect that alternative. Even if successful without great loss of life, nothing would be gained but the retention of a fortress which has only a local value in protecting Charleston, and is of no national moment whatever. Capt. Fox is fully impressed with the courage, integrity and sincerity of Major Anderson, with whom, however, his communication was necessarily limited, as Gov. Pickens sent Capt. Hartstein, late of ou

40. original ode, sung at the Union and State rights celebration, Charleston, S. C., July 4th, 1831. Hail, our country's natal morn! Hail, our spreading kindred born! Hail, thou banner, not yet torn, Waving o'er the free! While this day in festal throng, Millions swell the patriot song, Shall not we thy notes prolong, Hallowed jubilee? Who would sever freedoms shrine? Who would draw the invidious line? Though by birth one spot be mine, Dear is all the rest;-- Dear to me the South's fair land, Dear the central mountain-band, Dear New England's rocky strand, Dear the prairied West. By our altars, pure and free, By our Law's deep-rooted tree, By the past's dread memory, By our Washington! By our common parent tongue, By our hopes, bright, buoyant, young, By the tie of country strong, We will still be one. Fathers! have ye bled in vain? Ages! must ye droop again? maker! must we rashly stain Blessings sent by thee? No! receive our solemn vow, While before Thy throne we bow, Eve

Mrs. Major Anderson being desirous to visit her husband in Fort Sumter, Peter Hart, an officer of the Twentieth Ward, N. Y. City, was deputed to escort her to Charleston. Once inside the fort, Mr. Hart who had served under Major Anderson through the Mexican war, resolved to remain by his old commander, and aid in defending the fort. This he did, and in doing so, proved himself to be a gallant and intrepid soldier. After the stars and stripes had been shot down by the guns of the rebel forces, Hart seized the national colors, which he had so heroically defended in Mexico, and nailing the flag to a pole, raised it to its former position with his own hand, amid the cheers of Major Anderson and his soldiers.--N. Y. Tribune, April 20.

for $12,000, bought it at once, and struck a bargain with the captain to load it with provisions and stores for Fort Sumter. Every arrangement was made to carry this plan into effect on Saturday night; and had Major Anderson been able to hold out, he would have got the requisite aid then. But unfortunately he surrendered on Saturday, and the enterprise had to be given up as abortive. Of course, Capt. Bowen did not tell this little incident to the Secessionists, who, after his arrival at Charleston, boarded his ship, and compelled him to make the statement which appeared in the Courier. He kept it to himself, and cleared for Georgetown, for which port he had a freight; but once out at sea, he thought he had seen enough of Southern trade, and made a straight course for home. When on board the Pawnce, the captain voluntarily tendered to the commander of that vessel any aid that he or his schooner could render to the country; and it was in consequence of this offer that the schooner wa
