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.
