From Charleston.

--A Charleston dispatch in the New York Herald, dated the 19th, says:

Paymaster Hutton, of the United States Army, visited Fort Sumter this evening under a flag of truce, and paid off fifty United States soldiers.

Major Anderson sent to Quartermaster Hatch, of the Confederate army, desiring to know by what conveyance his troops can be transported North. They will go by the Columbia on Saturday. The abandonment of the fort is hourly expected.

The Southern Confederate States will be recognized by the French Emperor and the Spanish Governments. The British Government is not expected to do so immediately.--Russia, Sweden, Denmark and the Italian Confederacy, are all favorably inclined.

No reconstruction, consequent even upon the extinction of the Republican party, will restore the South to the old Union.

Commodore Ingraham and Captain Hartstein have left Charleston on secret service.

The Montgomery tariff is acceptable to South Carolina, and new works already commenced in consequence.
