Anderson Branded as a Traitor.

--The New York Courier and Enquirer, of Monday last, has the following amiable paragraph about Major Anderson:

‘ Sumter has fallen — surrendered, we fear, by a traitor, and that traitor Major Robert Anderson. This is harsh language, but is the language of truth demanded by what appears to be the grossest act of treason ever perpetrated, in this or any other country. The treason of Twiggs is admitted by all to have exceeded that of Benedict Arnold; but the names of both Arnold and Twiggs, will sink into insignificance,--indeed, are almost rendered respectable, when compared with the more damning infamy which, from present appearances, must forever attach to that of Robert Anderson.
