Dec. 27.--A correspondent in Charleston says, Fight crops out everywhere, especially in the speech of youthful South Carolina; like New York Mose, he is literally spiling for lack of one. You might deservedly apostrophize him as John Willett did his son, With his hat cocked, with a fire-eating, bilina water-drinking, swaggering, military air, too, are you going to kill the wintner, sir? substituting for the last-named person the name of our sorely-tried parent, Uncle Sam. For informationspirations of youthful South Carolina! The same paper chronicles an application for five hundred of Colt's pistols, received from Alabama, under the title of Short armaments! Here, as a nineteenth century anniversary of the divine annunciation of Peace on earth and good will towards man, (the Courier, by-the-by, has a very pretty and decidedly pious editorial on the subject), we have the border ruffian spirit endorsed and approved of as the ultimatum of human reason! --Evening Post, Dec. 31.

Dec. 29.--On Christmas Day Major Anderson dined formally with the secession authorities-chiefs — in Charleston, and was duly carried back to Fort Moultrie by early moonlight, apparently very much overcome by the good things drinkable set before him. Those in charge of the steamer posted in the channel to watch his movements in the fort therefore thought it would be safe for them to relax their vigilance, and themselves take a Christmas night frolic, and in the midst of which Anderson and hintly very much overcome by the good things drinkable set before him. Those in charge of the steamer posted in the channel to watch his movements in the fort therefore thought it would be safe for them to relax their vigilance, and themselves 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. The apparent intoxication of Anderson was but a feint to have the very effect it did have.--Washington Star, Dec. 29.

The venerable J. S. Pettigru, one of South Carolina's noblest names, continues to bear witness to the Union against the traitors who surround him. He has no faith in the practicability of their measures, and is prepared for the worst results to the State and the country. Lately, while attending the church, where, by his presence, he for so many years showed that the character of the statesman was complete only when religion gave it grace and solidity — the services were purged (by nullification) of the usual prayer for the President of the United States--the stern-hearted old patriot rose from his seat and left the church, thus giving a silent but pointed, rebuke to treason, where last it should be found, but where now, in South Carolina, it is most rampant.--Washington Star, Dec. 28.

Dec. 26.--Bigler, of Pennsylvania, meeting John Cochrane, casually, in Willard's Hotel, in the hall at Washington, said, What about this Bailey fraud, Cochrane; do you hear any thing in addition? Oh, replied Cochrane, there is nothing in Addition, it's all in Subtraction. --Evening Post, Dec. 26.

Washington, Dec. 26.--I saw a letter from one of the soldiers at Fort Sumter to his mother to-day. He says the fort is in excellent condition for defence, full of ammunition and arms, and with a few more men, could defy any enemy that could approach it. He says, all hands expect a conflict, and feel greatly alarmed at the prospect, because their numbers are so small. They hope the Government will do something to aid them,--if not, they will defend the fort to the best of their ability. The closing words are quite touching and solemn. --Letter from Washington, Times, N. Y.

orities attach the same. If a single State goes out of the Union, Mr. Schell regards it as broken up, and says, Lincoln is not President; and neither he nor any of the federal officials will resign or surrender their power and the public money to any except to the city treasury. Mr. John J. Cisco, the Subtreasurer, takes the same view. He has several millions at his disposal. A large portion is in bars of gold, valued at $1,000 each. These are being painted white, so as not to attract attention in case of being removed from the sub-treasury vaults in case of a riot or of Lincoln claiming to be the President.--N. Y. Correspondent of Mobile Register. it is asserted in Charleston, that President Buchanan had pledged his honor to South Carolinians that the forts should not be reinforced, that they should be given up to the State authorities when demanded, and also that General Cass's resignation originated in his condemning this promise of treason.--Cor. Evening Post, Dec. 31.

Macon, Ga., Dec. 27.--Rumors of a rising among the slaves in the southwestern part of the State prevail here. It is impossible to say with certainty whether an insurrection has really taken place, or is only threatened. The planters are hastily getting all things ready to send their wives and young children to the North. --N. Y. Tribune.
