Washington Items,
Washington, January 6.—Alfred Huger, Esq.,
ha? written a letter to the Postoffice Department
here, in which he says that he considers himself
accountable to the Government of the United
States for the faithful discharge of the duties of ’
his office, even under a strict construction of the
Ordinance of Secession. The Department will, iu
consequence, fill his orders for postage stamps.
K The Postmaster-General has as yet received no
reply, save from Mr. Huger, to his circular ad
dressed to South Carolina Post masters, inquiring
whether they would acknowledge the laws and
jurisdiction of the Federal Government.
Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, expresses himseli to
day ae of the opinion that the coercive policy of
the President will bo abandoned within a few
hours, and that there will be no civil war. Other
good governmental authority, however, asserts to
the contrary as to the first part of Mr. Toombs’
statement . . . .
Gen. Scott has been engaged dav and night in
perfecting military plana Tor the defence o! the
Oily of Washington in case of an emergency.
Preparations of au extensive character are being
made, which will probably intimidate all invaders
if any shall really make an attempt upon the City,
and altogether prevent trouble from this source
if there is any foundat:on for the apprehension*
}h*l such exist iu reality.
I that two or Hircc Republican Senators
after bolding conver&ation among them solve*,
and with others, have decided to support Senator
! Crittenden’s preposition. This, together with the
! immense preuore brought to boar upon tbc* Com
mittee from the border States, in advocacy of
i these resolutions as a finality and as a compro
mise, may ponsihly r*Hult in a yielding of ground
by the Republicans, and a settlement of the qne-

[Special iJicpatch to the Mercury, j
Washington, January r,. —The Senators from
those of the Southern States which have ceiled
Conventions of their people, met in caucus last
night, and adopted the following l eaoiutious :
fowl red. That we recommend to our respective
States immediate recession.
fotolvtd. That we recommend the holding of a
General Convention of the said States, to be held
in the city of Montgomery, Alabama, at some pe
riod not later than the l. r >th day of February, 1961.
These resolutions were telegraphed, this even
ing, to the Conventions of Alabama, Mississippi
and Florida. A third resolution is also known to
have been adopted, but it is of a confidential
character, not to be divulged at present. There
wa? a good deal of discussion in the caucus on the
question of whether the seceding States ought to
continue their delegations in Congress till the 4th
of March, to prevent unfriendly legislation, or
whether the representations of the seceding States
should all resign together, and leave a clear field
to the Opposition to pa .s such bills, looking to co
ercion as they may see fit. It is believed that the
opinion that they should remain prevailed.
I am reliably informed that Secretary Thomp
son has pledged himself to the Mississippi Con
gressional delegation to reaigu forthwith, if a sin
gle soldier be sent South, should lie be aware of
the fact; and should it be done without his knowl
edge, ha will resign on two grounds, viz : First,
because the movement would be an uinvariant;!
hie one ; and second, b icause the fact of its having
been clandestinely made, would be a breach of
faith.
Four hundred marines have been ordered here
from Portsmouth, N. H., Boston and Biooklvn.
As they arrive they are sent to Fort Washington,
on the Maryland side of the Potomac, nine mile*
below the city. The Marylanders here are highly
indignant at this occupancy of the forts in their
midst; hut it is shrewdly surmised that the object
of the Administration, i*> to have the marines in a
position to send South without exciting public
attention, there being no telegraph station below
that point Seventy-five of the marines went
down last night on the steamer Philadelphia.—
Others arrived here this morning, and are to be
sent down to-night, forty tons of shot, shell and
powder, left New York yesterday by Adams Jk.

<TllN*oiirf Legislature—JVleMMMge ol Gov*
Stewart.
Gov. Stewart’s message after reviewing the rise
and progress of the Abolition and Republican par
ties, ami stating the result of their .success, says
—Missouri occupies u position in regard to these
troubles that should make her voice potent in the
councils of the nation. With scarcely a (lisunion
ist pm v within her borders, she is still determin
ed to demand and maintain her rights at every
hazard. She loves the Union whilst it is a protec
tion, but not when it is made an instrument of
wrong She came into the Union upon a com
promisu and is willing to abide by fair comprom
ise—uot such ephemeral contracts as ate enacted
by Congress to-dav and repealed to-morrow—but
compromise assuring alt just rights of the Stutes
and agreed to in solerf&n convention of ull the par
ties interested. Missouri has a right to speak on
this subject because she has suffered, having prob
ably lost as much during the past few years iu the
übduotion of slaves as all the rest of tlie Southern
States.
Speaking of the seccession movement, the Gov
ernor deprecates the action of South Carolina.—
He says our people would feel more sympathy
with the movement had it originated among those
who, like ourselves, had suffered severe loss aud
constant annoyance from the interference and de
predations of outsiders. Missouri will hold to the j
Inion Uh long as it is worth an effort to preserve
it. She cannot be frightened by the past unfriend
ly legislation of the North, or dragooned into se
cession by the restrictive legislation of the ex
treme South.
The Governoi denies the right of voluntary se
cession. It would be utterly destructive of every
principle on which out nation is founded. He ap
peals to the great conservative masses of the peo
ple to pot down the efforts of selfish, designing
politicians, and to tho threatened evils,and closes
with a strong roccoinmendation for the adoption
of all ptoper measures to insure our rights now
and in t .'ure. He protests against the nasty and
unwis. .lion of Bouth Carolina, and records his
unalterable devotion to the Union so long as it
can bo made the protector of equal rights.
The Governor then passed to State matters, aud
shows the finances to be in a prosperous condition.
il- recommends u revision of the militia laws, and
advises the arming of the militia for the purpose
of protection against invasion. He refers to the
condition of tin* different railroads, and recom
mends the Legislature to relieve the hunks from
the penalties incurred by the temporary suHpen
ion of specie payments.
Inacoi kal Adohhss of Governor Jackson, of
Missouri.— Gov. Jackson's inaugural address was
almost exclusively devoted to the discussion of
Federal relations, lie says the destinies of the
tlaveholding States ure identical, and Missouri
would best consult her own interests and the in
terests of tho whole country by a timely declara
tion of her determination to stand by her sister
slaveholding Stutes, in whose wrongs she partici
pates and with whoso institutions her people sym
pathize.
Missouri w ill remain in the Union so loug as
there is u hope of maintaining the guaranties of
the Constitutou, hot if the Northern States are de
termined to put the Southern States on the foot
ing of inequality, by preventing the entrance of
.slaves into tho Territories, admitting no more
slave States, or persisting in nullifying or per
verting the Constitution in reference to slave
property, then they themselves praetically aban
don the Uniou, unu cannot expect the South to
submit to such a government.
•He opposes coercion, and says the project of
maintaining the Government by force, may lead
to a consolidated despotism, but never to (Jnion.
Our Government is based upon justice, equality—
and the first drop of blood shed in a war of ag
grtasion upon Southern Stutes will result iu the
overthrow of the entire Federal system. He says
he has not abandoned all hope of the preservation
of tho Union, und he believed that by prudence
and well directed efforts, an adjustment, alike
honorable to both sections, can be effected. He is
opposed to Congressional compromises, aud says
the South can rely only upon Constitutional guar
anties , and, to effect this end, he advises tho call
ing of a Southern Convention to agree upon such
amendments of the Constitution as would secure
her just rights and submit them to the Northern
States for their action. He advises the culling of
a State Convention to ascertain the will of the
people on the uhject; and also advises a thorough
organization of the State mi.itiu to repel invasion
and protect property and the lives of citizens. He
recommends the legalization of the suspension of
specie payments by the banks.

Tur Missouri Legislature.—A special dispatch
to the St. Louis Republican from Jefferson City,
states that Mr. Cooper, Commissioner from Ala
bama, made a strong secession speech before the
Legislature on Mouday last. He did not believe,
in a commercial or industrial point of view, the
Southern States would be the losers iu case of a
disruption of the government. He said the
South did not desire to re-open the African slave
trade. His remarks were occasionally applauded.
A meetiug was then held iu the Senate Cham
ber to consider the suggestions of Mr. Cooper.—
On motion of Mr. Parsons, the late Breckinridge
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, John Hever,
Senator from Dent, look the Chair. Mr. Parsons
further moved that Col. Hallow', of Benton, be
Secretary. Col. Hallow declined, lie could not
approve any measure tending to secession. He
would stay in the Union until he was forced out
ot it. TJiere was yet hope that matters might be
amicably adjusted.
A resolution was adopted, staling that duriug
the coating session of the Legislature, they would
express their opinions officially upon the ques
tions now distracting the Union, and furnish the
Governor of Alabama a copy of the resolution ou
the subject, as the General Assembly may adopt.

The Wisconsin Sexatorship.—There is an ac

the Republicans relative to the U. S. Senator to
succeea Mr. Durkee. The principal competitors
are Gov. Randall. Tim. O. llowe, C. C. Washburn
L. F. Harvy, aud Judge Cole. Gov. Randall, it
is believed, has the best chance.
A Washington dispatch of the 30th ult., says :
Senator Crittenden will propose his resolutions
to-morrow in the Beuate as a direct proposition to
be submitted to a vote of the people of tne United
States. The same proposition will be offered in
the House. A bill lor the payment o /the expen
se? of taking the vote will also be offered
Getting One aors.—The people of Eugland are ;
complaining more and more of the weight of t axes.
The burden has become almost intolerable. When
we oorsider that the war in China has cost fifty
millions of dollars, we need not beau prised at the
tremendous pressure of taxation upon the people
of the three kingdoms.
Blending P unish n ext and Education.—The
jailer of the Bristol (England) prison, has devised
au improvement of the tread-milL The prison
ers, at every step they take, coll up to view a
letter or a word, and are thus taught the alphabet
and reading while they are at work By degrees,
says an English paper, they become able to read a ‘
chapter iu tne Biol*.
Dyes.—A chemist of Lyons%niiounces that the
coloring matter of any tree may be known by the
color of its fruit, and advises the boiling ot the
bark with lime, in water, wheu a precipitate will
be formed of the narnq color as its fruit. Several
of the new vegetable dyes have beeu discovered
by this simple process.
Advices from Texas state that a band of In
dians, nine hundred strong, had assembled fifty
miles from Dallas, and the settlers were leaving
in large numbers. Companies of rangers were
organizing to proceed to the scene of danger.
Fraternization or Indiana and Kentucky.—
The Louisville papers state that a regiment of
volunteers has been formed in the lower part of
Indiana, who have to the
people of Kentucky, should any slave insurrec
tion occur.
Aualgaratio” in Cleveland.— lt is said that
over thirty negroes are living as man and wife
with white women in the city of Cleveland. Since
Lincoln’s election, and the triumph of the Black
Republican party, fugitives are returning from
Canada to Ohio, teeling quite as secure there as

CUSTOM UOUSK.
Collkc rod's Office, Ac.
Sir:— Capt. Jno. Screven has this moment hand
ed me your note of this date, in relation to the
recapture of the Revenue Cutter J. C. Dobbin, in
reply to which, I beg, in the name of the Federal
Government, to thunk you, and further, to state,

days ago, requesting me to direct the Captain of
said cutter to sail for Baltimore as soon as conve
nient, and on his arrival to report the same to him
(the Secretary of the Treasury) iu writing, und
await his orders, and that in obedience to said in
structions, the cutter >vas ordered and on Satur
day last prepared for sea, but was detained by
unfavorable winds until last night, when she was
taken possession of by parties unknown to me.
Under those circumstances, I must ask the favor
of you to direct those in charge to allow her to
proceed to .sea, iu compliance with instructions
from this office.
I have the honor to remain your obedient ser
vant, John Boston,

John Boston, Esq.,

Excitement at Norfolk—Suspected and Re
ported Movements. A dispatch to the Charles
ton Courier, dated Norfolk, Va., Jan. 4, says :
There is great excitement here to-day in couse
quetice of a report that four companies of Artillery
frqui Fortress Monroe have been ordered to Char
leston.
The United States steamer Brooklyn has taken
in stores, and is getting ready for sea. It is re
ported that her destination will Wb Charleston.
This, however, is rather doubtful.
The Norfolk Day Book of the *2d says :
The brig Dolphin has been paid off and put out
of commission, but will not be dismantled for
some time to come, as her services may be needed
at almost anv moment for special or other service.
In connection with the Brooklyn all manner of
rumors are afloat, one of which is to the effect
that all her boats, with muffled oars, proceeded to
the yard during the storm aud darkness on Satur
day night, ana removed all the arms from the
yard to the ship, for fear of tlieir beiug seized by
the Secessionists here. Another says that her
guard has been temporarily sent to the yard to
protect the store houses, which are said to be
threatened with sacking by the number of unem
ployed men in the two communities, Ac. We
give them lor what they are worth, vouching for
nothing contained iu them.
The Portsmouth Transcript, of yesterday, adds :
A report is circulating here that the U.S. steam- )
frigate Brooklyu has orders to take in stores at ■
once for a four months* cruise. Madame Rumor
has not disclosed the destination, but, us a matter
of course, every oue says Chariest an. One thing
is certain, steam was gotten up aboard of her this
morning, and she may go up to the yard before
night.
The Washington Star of the *2d says :
We have ascertained that no orders despatching
additional troops to Charleston have been issued
through the Adjutant General's Office, the chan
nel from which such orders have heretofore been
invariably issued. Nevertheless, the South Cara
linu Commissioners aud the throng of Disuiouists
who crowd their quarters in this city, were in a
terrible stew last evening over such a rumor.
Maryland.—The Baltimore Exchange, while
ardently advocating the calling of the Legislature
of Maryland in view of our pending political com
plications, expresses the belief that ‘*the number
and weight” of the names attached to the memo
rial presented to Governor Hicks by the people of
Baltimore will suffice to confirm him in the reso
lution he has already takeu, “and it may there
fore be regarded as a settled point that he will
not call an extra session of the Legislature unless
the aspect of affairs should become not merely
more threatening, but desperate.”
As it may be supposed or represented in other
Southern States that the portion of the people iu
Maryland who favor the assembling of tne Legis
lature and the calling of a Conv entiou iu the pres
ent crisis are prepared to accept a dissolution of
the Union, the Baltimore Exchange corrects any
such impression iu the following terms :
“Lest any such reoresentations should be sent
abroad, we repeat, without fear of successful con
tradiction, that there is no disunion part yin Mary
land. The whole population is uuited in the de
sire to preserve the U nion as it has existed here
tofore. It may be, however, that a majority of
the people, by a blind and ill-advised course, may
render tbe State obnoxious in future to the charge
of having contributed by her indecision and weaK
nees to the overthrow ot the Republic.”
Messagk ok ths Governor ok New York.—
Gov. Morgan, in his message to tbe Legislature,
refers to needed State reform, and devotes the
closing portion of his message to the Secession
question. He says it is the duty of the National
legislature to act with moderation and concilia
tion, and the dutv of the public press, with that
regard to the rights of all sections and interests
which its vast iurioeoce demands, to let New York
aei au example in this respect. Let her oppose
no barrier, but let her repre>eutatives in Congress
give ready support to any just and honorable set
tlement. Let her staud in an attitude of hostility
to none, but extend the haud of fellowship to all.
Live up to the strict letter of the Constitution
cordially with the other members of the Confed
eracy, in proclaiming and enforcing the deter
mination that the Constitution shall be honored
aud the Union of tbe States preserved. He re
eommeuds the repeal by New York of the “Per
sonal Liberty Bill,” and that other States do the
same.
The Exact Distances or the Forts.—Au offi
cer of the L nited States Coast Survey gives the
following measurements, as takeu from the latest
surveys, made by the Coast Survey Department :
Fort Sumter is Z% miles from Charleston. I>£
miles from Fort Moultrie, s 4 of a mile to the near
est land, l*t miies to Fort Johuson, aud
miles to Castle Pinckney. The last named Fort
is one mile from the town, and Fort Johnson is 2%
miles from the town. — Char. Mercury.
Anew compauy is being formed for an express
business throughout the United States, to be

There will be fifteen trustees for its management,

N’ortL View or A Burning Bookstore —The
burnitg of a bookstore is quite an ordinary affair
—an e eryday item : but Beniamin F. Taylor, cf
the Chicago Journal, thus lifts it into the domain
of the poetic :
WhcO the beautiful marble bookstore, not long
ago, v turned into a chimney and blackeneo
; like aiaraace flue, and thousands of volumes that
j had erriched it, went up, like the Prophet, in a
chariot of fire, a sentiment of grandeur mingled
with a painful sympathy. We could not help
! thick.!* g that the perfumed woods of the East
never kindled a richer flame than rose and fell,
und e: pt u:.d burnt within those walls, as they
jarred :ke a sounding-board at the masterly touch
of tire
The Id poets sparkled anwy into the morning
air ; Herbert und Donne and Cowley and Spenser.
Beaumont and Fletcher went up together, and
Childe Harold was in his element. It would have
been carious to watch the red flumes as they crept
along, irorn shelf, to shelf, and lifted their crim
son ne-*ks, over the counters and lapped up the
fiction, and eat their way through cabic blocks
of hist< ry, aud devoured Pegasus all but the sad
dle, ani made u heavy meal of controversial
logy.
How bright for a once and a wonder, grew
Youngs Night Thoughts, as the pages of the
dingy erse curled aud crisped aud flashed up.
How thecosty chasings of “words that burn’’
blacker.ed and crackled, and rolled together like
old par hments. How the Lady of the Lake was
wrapped in the same red mantle with Joan of
Arc, an l Paradise Lost was laid up in the the same
red turret with Don Quixote. How Arago went
starwari with Books of Common Prayer, and
sweet eld psalmody glowed like a seraph, as
“Dundee” and “Bonny Boon,” “Old Hundred”
and “LJ.icle Ned” floated away togethey. How
the fire :iDished the five books of Moses aud the
twelve l ooks of \ irgil, and Creusa was lost once
more, ana Elijah went up in a glory again. It
must hu e been a sad signt when the eager, hun
gry tire ate its way through the compact wealth
of Webs'-er, word by word from “A to to Izzard,”
and tuned the wardrobe of the rarest of beauty
and the grandest of truth into a double handful
of blackened and rustling paper.
Aud Ken, when it devoured a route through
solid booies of divinity, and the old gold packed
uway in Encyclopedias : when the brilliant fab
rics of intellectual looms became more brilliant
still, the song dashed with a strange light and
the colil sermons kindled to a strange glow.
It was such a flame as the Calph Umar’s miser
able soil if he had one—w ould have delighted
in. Think ot those Saracens warming the water
for their baths, not with sandalwood, for that

of the Alexandrian library !
Sleep.—Dr. Cornell, of Philadelphia, contrib
utes to tlu November number of the Educator an
article oc sleep, from which we make the follow
ing brief extracts:
No one who wishes to accomplish great things
should dt-:iy himself the ed vantages of sleep or
exercise. Any student will accomplish more,
year by year, if he allow himself seven or eight
hours to bleep, aud three or four for meals and
amusements, thau if lie labors at his books, or
with his pen, ten or twelve hours a day.
It is true that some few persons are able to per
form muc'.i mental labor, and to study late at
night and yet sleep well. mie require but little
sleep. But such individuals are very rare. Gen
eral Pichegru informed .Sir Gilbert Blane that,
during a whole year’s campaign, lie did not sleep
more than one hour in twenty-four. Sleep seemed
to be at the command of Napoleon, as he could
sleep and awake apparently at will.
M. Guizot, minister of*France under Louis
Philippe, vas a good sleeper. A late writer ob
serves that his facility for going to sleep alter ex
citement and mental exertion was prodigious, and
it was fortunate for him that he was so constituted,
otherwise his health would materially have suffer
ed. A minister in France ought not to be a ner
vous man; it is fatal to him if he is After the most
boisterous and t umultous sittiugs, at the Chamber,
after being baited by the opposition, in the most
savage muiner—there is no milder expression for
their excessive violence he arrives home, throws
himself upau a couch, and sinks immediately into
a profound sleep, from which he is undisturbed
till midnight when proofs of the Moniteur are
brought to him lor inspection.
The most frequent and immediate cause of in
sanity and one of the most important to guard
against, is the want of sleep. Indeed, so rarely
do we see a recont case of insanity that is not
preceded F w r ant of sleep, that it is regarded as
almost a sure procursor of mental derangdment.
Notwithstanding strong hereditary predisposi
tion, ill-health, loss of kindred or property, insan
ity rarely result unless the exciting causes are
such as to produce a loss of sleep. A mother lo
ses her only child, the merchunt his fortune; the
politician tne enthusiast, may have their minds
powerfully excited and disturbed; yet, if they sleep
well, they will not become insane. No advice is
so good, therefore, to those in delicate health, as
that ‘f seenkiug, by ull means, sound, regular, and
refreshing sleep.
A Graceful Compliment to a Wife.— The fol
lowing neat and beautiful reply was made by the
late Daniel O’Connell, in response to a toast given
in compliment to his wife, who was the object of
his long and affectionate attachment. It was
given at n political meeting. The English lan
guage could not furnish anything more touching
ly tender and graceful:
There aYt some topics of so sacred and sweet a
nature, that they may be comprehended by those
who are happy, but they cannot be possibly des
cribed by any human being. All that I shall do
is to thank you in the name of her who was the
disinterested choice ol my early youth ; who was
the ever-cheerful companion of my manly years ;
and who is the sweetest solace of that “’sear and
yellow’ leaf’ age at which 1 have arrived. In her
name 1 thunk you; and this you may readily be
lieve ; foi* experience, 1 think, will show to us
all, that rnau cannot buttle und'struggle with the
m&lign&ut enemies of his country, unless his nest
at home is warm und comfortable—unless the
honey of human life is commended hy a hand that
lie loves.
Elections in Switzerland. —Rotation in office
docs not appeur to meet with much favor in re
publican Switzerland, for at the late election, on
the 7th instant, for President if&d members of the
Federal Council, (Cabinet,) the old officers—Frey
Herosee, Furrer, Stsompfi, Nael, Fornerod, Pioda,
and Knuesei—were re-elected—several of whom
have been re-elected every three years, and have
served ever since the adoption of the present
Federal Constitution in 1848. The Republic of
Switzerland has had several very severe political
crises to go throgh, and has also had the combined
diplomacy of Europe to contend with ; but never
theless, from the excellence of its Government and
the virtue of the poople, she has maintained a
high and honorable position among (he nations
of the Continent.
Hh Had Him There ! —The witty Scotch advo
cate, Harry Erskinc, on one occasion pleading iu
Loudon before the House of Lords, had occasion
to speek of certain curators, and pronounced the
word as in Scotland, with the accent on the first
syllable, curators. One of tbe English judges
could not staud this, aud cried out, “We are in
the habit of say iug curator in this country, Mr.
Erskine, following the analogy of the Latin lan
guage, iu which, as you are aware, the penulti
mate syllable is long” “I thank your lordship
very much, ‘was Erskine’s reply. “We are weak
enough in Scotland to think that in pronouncing
the word curator we follow the analogy of the
English language. But I need scarcely say that
I bow with pleasure to the opinion of so learned a
Senator and sc great au orator as your lordship.”
The Fashionable “Rage”of Paris.-The spright
ly Parisian correspondent of the Boston Evening
Traveller communicates the following:
The great rage now among the fine ladies is to
have a negro lad, assort of page, about them, to
curry their fun, to hold their parasol. The uglier
the negro isihe higher ore his wages. It is noth
ing but an old fashion revived; in a gj:eat many of
the ancient pictures of high life, in the Louvre
gallerv, belli s are represented with a “Black-a-
Moor” by their side; and the christening of these
Pagans seen s iu those days to have afforded some
thing like an assembly or festival to his mistress’
acquaintances. Lord Chesterfield in one of his
letters records that he treated hi* friends with the
christening of a “Black-a-Moor,” and says “he re
nounced his likeness, (you kuow this phrase—black
as the and *,)with great devotion, to the infinite
edification of a very numerous audience of both
sexes.”
Resolutions in the New York Legislature.—
In the New Yoik Senate on Thursday, Mr. Hpiuo
la (Democrat) introduced a series of resolutions
authorizing the Governor to tender to the Presi
dent ot the United States the service* of the
millitary of the State, to be used as he should
deem best to preserve the Union and enforce the
Constitution and laws of the country. Also, in
structing the Committee on Military Affairs to re
port a bill to raise $10,000,000 properly to arm
the State.
Mr. Spinola said lie believed the time approach
when old party divisions must be temporarily
laid aside, ucd that all good citizens should unite
for the preservation of the Union, and put down
Northern abolitionism and Southern fanaticism.
The resolutions were laid over.
Railroad Collision.—On Wednesday night
la6t, the two express trains—one from Raleigh
and the other just from Charlotte, bound to Ral
eigh, collided about two miles beypnd Queries
Turn Ou*, the point at which they should have
met, and fatal injuries were received by some of
the Road bands. The engineers of both trains
were seriously injured—one, it is thought, fatally.
The passengers, a large number, fortunately es
caped without injury.
Bigler of Pennsylvania, meeting John Cochrane
casually iu tbe hall at Willard's Hotel, said, “What
about this Bailey fraud, Cochrane ; do you hear
anything in addition V” “Oh,” replied Cochrane,
“there is nothing in Addition : it’s all iu Subtrac

Secession in North Carolina.—The secession

The secession feeling is increasing daily.
Union Meeting in Petersburg.—Hod. Timothy

ALABAMA STATE CONVENTION.
Montgomery, Jan. 7.—The Convention met at
noon to-dqy.
Mr. Phillips, was chosen temporary Chairman,
aud Mr. Horn, of Mobile, temporary Secretary.
At the call of the counties all the delegates were
present.
William M. Brooks, counsiu of the late Hon.
Preston S. Brooks, was elected permanent Presi
dent by a majority of eight over Mr. Jamison, of
Tuscaloosa. Two members did not vote.
Mr. Fowler was elected Secretary.
The proceedings of the Convention were very

[SKCONB DISPATCH.]
Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 7. —The Convention
organized by the election of W. W. Brooks, Sepe
rate State Actionist, as President over Robert
Jamison, co-operotiouist by a majority of 8. This
was a strict party vote, and doubtless represents
the real strength of the two parties iu the Con
vention.
After considerable discussion and consultation,
the preamble and resolutions offered by the se
cession side were put in a form which commanded
the unanimous vote of the Convention. This
preamble and resolutions, as adopted, are as
follows :
Whereas, The only bond of union between the
several States, is the Constitution of the United
States; and whereas, that Constitution has been
violated by a majority of the Northern States, in
their separate Legislative action, denying to the
poople of the Southern States their Constitutional
rights; aud whereas, a sectional party, known as
the Black Republican party, has, in the recent
election, elected Abraham Lincoln President, and
Hannibal Hamlin, Vic© President of the United
States, upon the avowed principle that the Con
stitution of the United States does not recognize
property in and that the Government
should prevent it* extension into the common
Territories of the United States, and that the
power of the Government should be so exercised
that slavery should, in time, be exterminated •
therefore, be it
Resolved,—by the neople of Alabama, in Con
vention assembled, that the State of Alabama
cannot, and will uot, submit to the Administra
tion of Lincoln and Hamlin as President and
Vice President of the United States, upon the
principles referred to in the foregoing preamble.
MESSAGE OF GOV. LETCHER, OF VIRGINIA.
Richmond, Va., Jan. 7.—Gov. Letcher sent in
his Message to the Legislature to-day. Iu it he
renews the proposition in his last Message for a
Convention of all the States. He says that it be
comes Virginia to be mindful of her own interests
and thinks that disruption is inevitable. If new
Confederations are formed, we must have the
best guarantees before we can attach Virginia to
any of them. He condemns tho hasty action of
South Carolina, which ho says has taken her sis
ter .States by surprise. He would make uo spe
cial references to her course, had he not been in
vited to do so by her late Executive in his un
called for references to Virginia.
The non-slaveholding States, he continues, are
responsible for the present state of affairs. If the
JJnion is disrupted, upon them rests the respon
sibility. He opposes the calling of a State Con
vention, but suggests that a commission, to be
composed of two of the moat discreet statesmen
of Virginia, be sent to the Legislature of the
States which passed personal liberty bills, except
ing however the New England States, and to in
sist upon the repeal of such bills.
Virginia must hare proper aud effective guar
antees for the protection of slave property in the
District of Columbia ; our equality in the Htates
and Territories must be fully recognized ; the
rights of persons and of property mast be ade
quately protected and secured ; and we must also
be permitted to pass through the free States aud
Territories with our slave property unmolested.
If our slaves are abducted, the State wherein the
loss occurs must be made to pay the full value of
the property thus stolen. Like guarantees must
be giveu for the security of the inter-State slave
trade ; and wc must require the passage und en
forcement of rigid laws for the puuishment of
such persons us organize and aid and abet in or
ganizing companies with thts view of assailing the
slave-holding States and iuciting slaves to insur
rection.
The General Government must be deprived of
the power of appointing to local offices in the
slaveholdiug States all poi sons hostile to their in
stitutions, aud inimical to their rights.
The Governor further says that he will regard
uny attempt of tha Federal troops to pass across
Virginia for the purpose of coercing any South
ern Slate ns nu act of aggression, which will be
repelled, lie is not without hope that the pres
ent difficulties will find a satisfactory solution;
and recommends that New England and Western
New York be sloughed ott* and ally themselves
with Canada.
CONGRESSMEN RETURNING HOME.

Correspondence of the Savannah Republican.
Afl'airn at Fort Pulaukl.
Fort Pulaski, Jan. s.—You have, doubtless
beard of our successful oocupatiou of this for
trees* and the circumstances connected therewith
Since the first detachmeuts of fifty men each from
the “Guards” and “Light Infantry,” aud twenty
five men from the “Artillery,” a reinforcement of
fifty men each from the first named corps have
arrived—making a total of two hundred and
twenty-five men now under arms. They are all
in tine spirits, and, considering that many of them
have only the rations dealt out by the State, ex
hibit a degree of patience under their privations
which does credit to their soldier like fortitude.—
We are uuder strict military discipline, and the
Adjutant read an order, yesterday afternoon, from
the Colonel in command (Col. A. R. Lawton,)
that any sentinel cavykt asleep on hisport should
be shot. This made some of the men draw a long
face, but all render a cheerful obedience to every
command, and vie with each other in the prompt
and accurate discharge of their duties.
At daylight the reveille is beaten and the rolls
are called. At sunset a gun is fired. At half
past eight o’clock the guard is changed, before
which the officer of the day examines the quar
ters, and sees that they are clean. During the
day the whole force is engaged in drilling or put
ting the ammunition in order, moving cannon
balls and powder, making cartridges, bags, Ac.
At sunset another gnu is fired, and a certain num
ber of men from the infantry corps drill every day
in the manual of the artillery, as this service is
the chief means of defence.—There is a number oi
mechanics at work on the gun carriages, putting
them in good working order, aud in a few days
the fort will be in thorough and complete repair.
At sunset another gun is fired, aud at nine
o’clock at night the “tattoo” is beaten, and the roll
called again. You may judge froLa this round of
duties, tnere is but little time left jfor anything in
the shape of fun, though we do have it, notwith
standing.
There seems to be a perfect umlerstaudiug be
tween the officers and men, and the familiarities
which are permitted when on “bandbox” duty
are entirely ignored. A salute is always respect
fully given to a com missioned o dicer whenever
he passes, with a pleasure that sh dws it is from
respect as much as from duty.
It is a remarkable circumstance that but lew
men are in the Hospital. Three men were con
fiued to their rooms yesterday, has I believe are
all out to-day.
The “Chatham Artillery,” of **hich I have the
honor to be a member, is blessed in having the
best Quartermaster in Lance Corporal J. F. Doe,
that you can imagine. He gets everything for
their comfort that is to be had, aud exhibits an
interest in our welfare that is appreciated. There
is the best feeling imaginable between all the
corps here, and a brotherly svmpai by which is
gratifying. Our corps (i. e. 0. A. is supplied
with everything, our cuisine is perfect, and we
will not have to fight ou empty stoma: hs. There
are many opinions amongst the private s as to the
propriety of the step we have taken in obtaining
this fort’ but whatever these difl'erenret. are, they
are all sunk in the propriety of obeying our Gov
ernor’s order and in maintaining the honor and
dignity of the Empire State of the Soufiih.
Movements in Florida.—lt is report! and that the
steamer ‘Everglade’ has been chartered in Fernan
dina (by the State we presume) to pros! to St.
Augustine and procure from the fort tfc ere suffi
cient ordnance to arm Fort Clinch, ueai for

of the citizens of Florida. — Savatmaft* H epublteon,

INVESTMENTS IN THE STATE
OF GEORGIA.
THE subscriber wishes, from Ids age, to retire from active
business.
dome two or three years since lie, at tlie great call of this com
munity, bought a large Cotton Factory bulldlnv, and placed
therein Clark’s Patent Flour and Corn Mills. These Muls (1o
not occupy one-fifth part of tlie ample room. In couuuotion
with t.hes j Mills already up, it was my purpose to put iu souu*
two Wool Cards aad eight Looms, ut a cost of not over 2000 dol
lars, as estimated by Mr. Alfred Jinks, near Philadelphia. By
taking Planters’ Woollu this neighborhood, and buying the
warp, a good and loading article can be made of negroeu cloth
ing worth 80 cents, for which the Mill would chaige, say l2Vc
ceuts. Added to this, 1 hud Intended to get up some Wood
Works for making common Furniture, Fan Mills, Plows, Ac.,
Ac. All this would furnish fuel for a first-rate bteam Engine ot
J. P. Morris A Go’s make, of Philadelphia, ol .Ho horse power.
It is u fine opening for some enterprising man, or men, to make
a fortune.
I will sell the whole property, with three or four acres of land
in the centre of the thriving town of Greensboro, Gu., for about
what the building cost when first erected tor a cotton mill,
though I have put 10,000 dollars of Machinery, Engine, Mills,
Ac., in it. It is on the centre of tlie great Georgia Rullronmd,
hair way between Augusta find Atlanta, and so arranged that
the cars of this Road tun right to the door.
Mechanics and Manufacturers are Invited to coll and sec t

WASHING MACHINE.
f IYIIIH Machine, which has but recently been introduced into
_L Georgia, is considered, by < ompetont Judges. t< be the teat
eveFlnvented. According to the estimate of those who have
been using It In tbelr fumllies. it will execute us much in two
hourt- as an ordinary hand will In a day. It cleanse* the gdr
ments thoroughly, without injuring even the most delicate la
brics—the cleansing being effei-u-d bv pressure, and not by fric
tion.
This Machine Is utiuni fact u red In Georgia. The ‘‘Right’
for the State is owned by a native Georgian, and If Is now offer
ed to the citizens ot Georgia, a*- a labor-saving machine of su
perior merit*. So far as It bus boon tested, it has never failed
in any one instance to givp the most entire satisfaction.
Persons wishing to obtain these Machines, or County Rights
for the same, can apply to the Rev. R. M. IIaKEH, LuFaytUe,
