Characteristic Trickery.

The Charleston Courtier says that Major Anderson denies the authenticity of several notes lately published over his name. The ‘"pious fraud"’ party who constantly practice upon the maxim falsely attributed to the Jesuits, that ‘"it is right to do evil that good may come,"’ are at their old tricks again. --Major Anderson is a gallant soldier, respected by South Carolina, and though he will do his duty like a true warrior and noble gentleman to the last, he has no sympathy with any of the Black Republican, Puritanical, ‘"lewd fellows, of the baser sort,"’ who are publishing letters in his name which he never wrote, and are willing to perpetrate any other imaginable or unimaginable wickedness which may be necessary for the success of their iniquitous purposes.
