Tbc crowd, which is larger than on any occasion remembered, still increase, rather than diminish, and tho general feel ing that Georgia must aeccdoat once seem* to grow upace. - . ♦ The most interesting incident of'the oc casion occurred yesterday in iho organiza tion. Soon after Gov. Crawford was nom inated by Asbury Hull os a suitable porton for President oi the Convention, Mr. Ste phen*, on being also proposed, vory mod estly dci lined and expressed the hope that the distingu’iihcd and worthy gcntlo- rnen ju*i nominated would he appointed by acclamation, which, after one or two impor- anl motion, was carried. No indication was mmlo by the choice of Mr. Lamar of your city, as lo v/hat will bo the voto di* trolly on the subject uf immediate eecet sion, nor has any move a# yet pi in led to that result, yet tlcro is little doubt what it wiil finally be, whether with a large or rmall majority. Ttro speeches of tike commissioner* were i!ignited and *» lemn, though earnest and pa- u'ic. Mr. Orr explained what has been re- g rded os too prccipitato acMon ou tho part of his Htate, as Only tho natural conse quence of her view ol tho uocctsify of action in thno to allow all the Stale* which dmy K cr.de nil opportunity to oessmblo uy tli.eir delegates to form a confederacy or provisional government he loro the 4th ol March—said Carolina was encouraged thereto ns much by tbc action of Georgia na otiy other considoiation, in Iter appro priating a million of dollar* to arm her cit izons to ro*l*t, and by her calling » conven tion of her pcopln to consider of tho mode nnd measure of that re istance Judge Shorter’s advice was n good deal to tho name purport, urging rti'l further, fiowovcr,tiiai as a twin sister of Mississippi, she might claim that their mother Georgia -liottld meet in Montgomery on iho 4th of Fobtuary oil tho State* thon or about to ho separated from the present Uni conference, hy delegatee appointed lor that purpose. The uddrersee were well received by an immense crowd. 1 should not be surprised il a motion he made lu-inorrow to pae* the ordinnnee lor socoasion immediately, ond pan* without much discussion.

The idea of a nation allowing foreign soldiery to remain for any length of time in their midst, when they have the power lo expel them, is out of ail question.
