Affairs at the South.
--The Charleston Courier has the following items:
‘
A very few days must now decide whether the glorious old mother of States and statesmen will be aroused from her comatose condition, which, if much longer continued, can only end in the ‘"sleep that knows no waking."’ Many of her sons are alive and awake to the sad alternative whether they shall die in
Virginia without doing her honor and service, or renounce allegiance and seek homes in living States.
We have personally met several
Virginians who have visited
Charleston within a few days, and from them we hear reports of many others who are meditating a removal to some of the
Southern States.
An esteemed and influential Virginian, who was until lately a hopeful Union man, but is now convinced and converted, has lately returned from
Montgomery, having offered aid and services to the
Confederate States.
He left
Charleston on Thursday on his return to
Virginia, ready to answer any summons for the
South, unless
Virginia should claim his services.
