We can safely assure our friends, who are.in the habit-'of visiting Camden at this season of the year, that they need fear nothing in regard to the small pox, as there is not a single case in the town or vicinity. The case reported two weeks ago, brought from CO- ; lumbia, has recovered, and no new cases have occurred ; so that we are perfectly safe in assuming that no apprehensions, upon that ground, need be felt by any one wisnmg to visit uamaen. The News from Charleston. It requires no very vivid- imagination to suppose 1 ? ' t hat the electric message -which bore the news of the 1 evacuation of Fort Moultrie, aud the occupancy of ' Fort Sumter, by the Federal troops in Charleston harbor, sent a thrill of wild enthusiasm through every 1 Carolina heart. Camden must have a place in the picture, and we know that if need be, there are gallant yo'unghearts, and oldonestoo, who would march, upon ! , the first tap of the drum?and-jome are ready to give the ( tap?lb the defence of our old and beloved Queen of ? the South. The boya are ready. Heaven bless-the boys. They are to be the Palmetto logs, if need.be, 1 in"another Fort Moultrie; and the foundation stones c 4ipon which the pillars must rest, of our new and c splendid Temple ofLiberty.

The [dismemberment of a great political -party, which had flutgrown itself, and was indeed a huge vampire living for the .time on its own destruc??tion, was the first key note struck by the hand of revolutionized public sentiment. The discomfiture at Charleston of the once great National Demo:ratic party, but 1 . miserably pftrerted to free-soil purposes by renegades ' " and deserters from the original faith, inaugurated a new and more hopeful state of things lor the true Con- ' stitutional and Southern wifig of that once proud and i Yiuionous organization, nut me tune bad come, and ( the great problem must bo worked out and demonstra- ( tod to the satisfaction of an honest and candid world, whether Truth, Justice and the Constitution should prevail, or, blind error, faivticism and misgujded phil* t antliropjv "Tho problem is being worked to, we be- i; lieve, a magnificently grand solution. Time is neces- s _ sary for the sublime result. h Tliat the Sdi'thern States were right in withdrawing n ; themselves from such psendo friend? and false philanthropists, no honest, candid, constitutional man, can for A a moment doubt. To hare remained in a connection unsafe and dishonorable was worse than defeat. The ^^"^ ^^hhabcirj of parties in the late Presidential race is patent Clack Republicanism, in its most hideous and dan- P gerous form, has triumphed in electing to the Presi- ^ deucy one inimical to the Constitution and fatally dan- ra gerous to the, rights and liberties of freemen. The stern fiat has gone forth, and the same electric vibration which announced Lincoln's election, gave the signal knell of dissolution to the once proud and glori- ^ . ous Union." (;'.y .. THE UNION- IS DISSOLVED*! 'Tis a startling ^ thought, but 'tis even so; and we believe that no human power can ever re-unite elements as discordant and antipodal as the poles. , . Desperate cases require desperate remedies, and amputation is often the only means of saving life. The great, grand, noble deed is done, and the decision of December 20th, 1860, at Charleston, en South Carolina, can never be reversed ap That act is to be maintained, and if need be, the best blood from Carolina's noble, generous heart will *>'1 seal its sacred proclamation. If we had the power to-day to undo the act, we dare tlK not essay the taskalbeit, the world should demand the'attempt. "They who would be free, themselves w 11 must strike the blow."

"Washington, December 27, 7 p. m. 1 Secretary Floyd says positively that lie knows noth- ^ ing officially of Anderson's movements. He gave no 1 orders to Col. Anderson in relation to the evacuation * of Fort Moultrie and tne burning of the gun carriages. s rhe supposition is that Anderson acted on his own responsibility. v lateiu e Tiie President and Secretary of War assert most solemnly that Col. Anderson acted not only without ^ orders but against ordors. The Cabinet is now in ses- ,( lion, and the matter will be fully discussed. f' Governor Floyd, as well as the President, knew no- 11 king of tho change contemplated, and remained in " loubt as to the reason until a dispatch from Col An- a lerson settled tho matter. He stated that ho acted in nl lis own defence, believing it impossible to defend Fort iloultrio against an- attack. He, therefore, removed he stores, troops, <ta, to Fort Sumter, .which affords $ letter security. Tho facts in relation to tho whole s< natter seem to relieve the Administration from any ,s VUUVCUilUVC Vi V.VUipHV/UJ' IU VllC I'UUHjjU. Yotffminous dispatches have bfcn forwarded to An- ni erson by the \Var_ Department, but their nature is 11 ept secret The Department seems unwilling to con. radict or affirm the thousand flying rumors which pre- P' ail on the Avenue. Some most extravagant rumors nl ave been published. A dispatch announcing that the A* ring of cannon had commenced, caused great commoon. A private dispatch received from Baltimore states ThC^Pres^elt' refused autiience to a great many 1 persons this evening, and those who'ha've'seen him say he exhibits much feeling in regard to matters in 1 South Carolina. The Commissioners were informed liy I him that they would not be received officially, but that a special message would be seut to Congress on-Muu- ' day, with reference to their mission. * Mr. Benjamin, of Louisiana, will riiake a'speech in F the Senate on Monday, when the President's special nessage comes up. It is understood that he advocates ;he right of secession, and justifies the course of South Carolina.

' The news of the capture of Fort Moultrie and Castle ickney by the troops of South Carolina has reached > Administration. Tito whole matter was laid beforo i Cabinet at its meeting to-day. The Commissioners from South Carolina, in conference ;h the Cabinet, demanded the withdrawal of the r'ed- ^ 1 troops; and declared thnt, unless the order be gi vfor their immediate withdrawal, this should be their s 0 i interview with the Administration-that they would ^ urn ct ouco to South Carolina and prepare lor the att( rst. ~ ~ The excitement of yesterday continues unabated, ire is intense excitement over tho news of the oc- ^ ation of Fort Moultrie by the South Carolina troops. iat feeling pervaded all circles in relution to it. The ^ linet was in consultation most of the day, but as far earned, no decision lias yet been arrived at. There j ood reason for asserting that the whole matter will presented to Congress in the Special Message. 'he occupation of the forts will be urged as of great ^ ortance. The President will also recommend the * * K.crj ;saity of speedy and definite action in relation to mission of the Commissioners from South Carolina.

Special Dispatches to the Charleston Courier. Affairs at Washington. ' Washington-, December 30. The cause of the resignation of Secretary rloyd was ;he spiking of the guns at Fort Moultrie, the dostrue;ion of Government property, and the abandonment jf the post by Major Anderson .without orders, which s a violation of the President's pledge to the authorties of South Carolina. Secretary Floyd construes .he refhsal of the President to order Major Anderson :o resume his former position into an endorsement of die letter's course, notwithstanding the fact that Major Anderson acted upon his own responsibility. The Cabinet lni4 been in consultation in reference to : ;his subject full twenty-eight hours. Secretary Floyd's j position was sustained by Messrs. P. F. Thomas, of | Maryland, Secretary oftlic Treasury, and Jacob Tliomp;on. of Mississippi, Secretary of the Interior.

Prior to this Secretary Floyd hnd written his resignaion, and it liad been officially announced in to-day's lons'ttulion. There is some hope indulged in, tliat a peaceful sctlemeut of the difficulties with South Carolina will yet jo reached, aud it is thought this feeling is shared by sembers of the Cabinet.
