Important from Charleston. Major Anderson taken! Entrance obtained under a flag of truce New Yorkers implicated! Great excitement. What will the Southern Confederacy do next? On the 8th inst., about 12 hours before midnight under cover of a bright sun, Col. George S. Cook, of the Charleston Photographic Light Artillery, with a strong force, made his way to Fort Sumter. ... Col. Cook immediately and heroically penetrated to the presence of Maj. Anderson, and levelling a double barrelled camera, demanded his unconditional surrender in the name of E. Anthony and the photographic community. Seeing that all resistance would be in vain, the major at once surrendered, and was borne in triumph to Charleston, forwarded to New York, and is now for sale in the shape of exquisite card photographs at 25 cts. per copy
