and Greenville, who will probably arrive at the quarters to-night. Reinforcements, to the amount of 500 men, are also hourly expected from New Orleans. Washington Rumors. Quite a number of leading secessionists in States other than South Carolina met night before last, and; after consultation, notified Colonel Hayne that he must, in his written communication to the President, take a moderate ground. They agreed in opinion that an insolent demand for the immediate surrender of Fort Su and that He will safely guide us through the stormy sea in which we are now adrift.

ld not arrive until 2 o'clock F.

The next morning found the note washat one of the prisoners, Chilton, bought an opera glass of him; paid a $10 South Carolina note and borrowed a dollar of the other. [Witness identified the note.] ., Riddell questioned Mr. Simms in his hearing about the difference between South Carolina and Virginia money. Remarked to witness that he had some of the former, which be had bought. The next morning Mr. Wemmell came in and said he had a South Carolina note which he thought was counterfeit.

re all at the loaded guns, with matches lighted, expecting the word every minute to fire; but Major Anderson, after a struggle with his feelings, withheld the order to fire. He says the inhabitants of Charleston, and indeed of the whole State of South Carolina, have pledged all they have in the world — property, honor, lives — to maintain the independence of South Carolina. Some of the better and more cautions people admit that they have perhaps gone too fast, but they will keep their pledgesndependence of South Carolina. Some of the better and more cautions people admit that they have perhaps gone too fast, but they will keep their pledges to sustain her to the very last, even if they come out of the contest ruined. The stores in Charleston were all closed, except a few candy shops and provision stores. Fort Sumter does not need reinforcements; a ship of the size of the Star of the West could not now get into the harbor, as vessels have been sunk on the bar to prevent ingres

The examination of witnesses for the Commonwealth was resumed in the afternoon.-- Wm. Graves, James M. Ragland, James F. Stone and Frank Brigarri, of Liberty, G. T. Akers, of Lynchburg, and Wm. Willis, messenger of Adams' Express Company between Lynchburg and Knoxville, testified in regard to the receipt of South Carolina money like that passed to parties in Richmond, connecting the prisoners with the transactions in every instance. This closed the evidence for the Commonwealth. Judge Crump, counsel for Chilton, introduced but one witness, James F. Johnson, Senator from Bedford county, who testified that he had known the prisoner from childhood; that his character previous to this occurrence was excellent, and that his conduct had always been most exemplary in every respect. He was at this time about 17 years of age, and had for several months previous to this affair been employed as agent of Adams' Express, and as telegraph operator at Liberty, a position of consider

t be altered on either side. This may be so, for I certainly do not profess to know the secrets of our men in power; but I venture to make a prediction, on my own responsibility, that Fort Sumter will either be surrendered or taken forcibly in less than ten days. The fact is, Maj. Anderson and his command are our prisoners now. I predict another thing, and mark it — and I wish old "Hasty Plate of Soup" to mark it, also — that if Major Anderson sheds one drop of blood on the soil of South Carolina, or in the harbor of Charleston, neither he or his command will ever come out that fort alive.--I do not get my notions from headquarters; I get them from those who have the brunt to bear. Another falsehood has gone the rounds of the abolition papers: That we are without food We never had more, nor better, and scarcely cheaper. We see no difference in anything but coal. That is worth $12 (twelve dollars) per ton. You would do well to send several cargoes of your best grate coal.

Financial condition of South Carolina. A Legislative Committee to whom was referred the subject of raising supplies for the present fiscal year, report a deficiency of $1647, 496, to raise which sum they have submitted a bill of taxation which will produce, it is estimated, $1,724,000. Among the items of taxation are as follows: Upon every one hundred dollars of the value of all lands an ad valorem tax of $2; on all slaves a tax of $1.66 per head; $3.25 on each free negro, mulatto or mestizo, between the ages of fifteen and fifty years, except such as are incapable of procuring a livelihood; twenty-seven cents ad valorem on every one hundred dollars on all lots, lands and buildings within any city, town or village; one hundred cents per $100 on factorage, and all professions, and employments, excepting clergymen and mechanics, the same on commissions received by vendue masters, &c., forty-five cents per $100 on capital stock, of all incorporated gas companies, and one and a half

No Exactions on property in South Carolina. The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Herald, says it is utterly false that any special exaction has been made in South Carolina on negro or any other property. The contributions of negro labor have been entirely voluntary on the part of those who have rendered it. It is also the same of contributions of money, which have been very liberal. It is equally, false that Governor Alken, or anybody else, has had any requisition for money or laborSouth Carolina on negro or any other property. The contributions of negro labor have been entirely voluntary on the part of those who have rendered it. It is also the same of contributions of money, which have been very liberal. It is equally, false that Governor Alken, or anybody else, has had any requisition for money or labor made on him. All the appropriations of the money thus far made by the Legislature have been furnished by the State Banks in exchange for par, and the principal part coming from the Bank of the State, of which the State is the only stockholder. Commerce goes on as usual without restriction. There is no scarcity of provisions, and the market is at ordinary prices.
