No definite movement ha * yet been made fir . an attack on Fort Sumter ‘though rumors are , abundant in relation to , >‘,n movement in that j direction. The rumor on the street is that it is to be starved out and stormed by large parties ; of men on rafts, protected by the batteries from shore.

The present attitude of the Adminis tration at Washington is regarded as warlike, and those who have hitherto believed in peaceable se cession now find it nece-.sary to buckle on their armor. It the worst comes, there is a determina tion here to meet it w ith all the forces that can he brought into the held. The city is nightly patrolled by the military.

After the Government of the seceding 1 rotate had been established, then war might be made to reconer the territory, but he wartied gen tlernen the war was disunion, certain, dual aud j irrevocable. The sudden departure of the Commissioner* has added much to the excitement here, and a rumor is current that Fort Sumter has been bombarded ; to-day. Every report from Charleston is eagerly I caught up and retailed as true. The failure of the Pres.dent to send his correspondence with the Commissioners to Congress to-day. causes much j spardstion Au ion prevails hat the proclamation wi-l be issued on Saturday. The 1 election news from Georgia has produced the most . intense excitement here to-night. D iff ater to the Charleston Courier.’ 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- I t foe %at issue. Much difference of opinion, bow j ever, exists ax to the probability of sacii o r 7? a,t : The War Department last night received ofljcml | information of toe taking of the forts ana sr.ena.s | of Aiabama hy t:.e troops oi that .-state.

Anderson has lufornied the J'rebidetit that i he V‘ 1 a sufficient force at command to frustrate anv attack made upon him, for the present, and J that he needed no aid. The Republicans of the Senate made another , Htteir.pt lat night to procure an Executive se .-.ion, in order to confirm the appointment of Me- \ In tv re.

This consideration will, perhaps induce the Senate to take immediate ac tion upon the nomination, und either confirm or i reject it. There is a heavy pressure upon Cougrcn* here by the New York merchants, in favor of imme diate compromise upon the issues of day, and of a prompt settlement of ail difficulties. [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. Co.’s Express, for New Orleans, destined, so it was said, for Mexico, but believed to be fyr Lou isiana, The freight on the whole was $6,270, pay able in New Orleans- <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. Tijk U S. Rkvkm'u Cutter Harriet Lane. The U. S. revenue cutter Harriet l<uue, despatch ed to Charleston, is a aide wheel steamer. Her present armament consist of four 24-pouud Dahi gren liowi Iters, and one SX-pound swivel gun, t'Hpable of throwing solid shot or shell. Her ar mament may be somewhat increased, to render her more formidable iu resisting attack. List of officers of Harriet Lune John Faunce, Captain; D. C.

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. Sale of Slaves. —On Friday there was a sale of slaves at Petersburg. Vs., as follows : Dilcey, six tv years old, s*2oo ; Mary, nearly the same, £350; Maria, do., $805: Mary, do., $160; David, 34, >sso ; Louisa and young child, $1,055; Mahala and young child, sl/2*25, and Frances, a girl, SSOO. Total, $4,711. The Wisconsin Sexatorship.—There is an ac tive competition going on in Wisconsin among 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 i in tht Queen’s dominions.

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 called the “ Continental Express Company.” There will be fifteen trustees for its management, composed of bankers aud railroad men in tbe eountrv. The capital is $1,000,000 in cash Stephen H. AlSen, Presideut of tje Albany Exchange Bank, it is said, ha* the otter of tbe Presidency ; aw says the N. V. World. 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 could bo borne, and neithe%the world nor the woods lx- bankrupt, but with the 700,000 volumes 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 tion.” The number of workmen now employed in six tv*uiue leading manufacturing establishments in Philadelphia s 11,6*26. The same concerns have discharged ,141 men since the commencement of the financial pressuie. The Democrats of the New York Legislature, in caucus, have resolved to support a proposition for the remaining territory, after the admission of Kansas, as two States/ Challenge.—The Rev. J. R. W. Sloane, of the Reformed Preebyterian Church, in New York, has sent a letter to the Rev. Henry C. Van Dyke, of the First Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, challenging him to a written or oral discussion of the question—“ Does the Bible authorize or justi fy American slavery in any of its forms*?” Hon. Pierre Soule has issued a card, in which he says he is for revolution, but wants Louisiana to co-operate with her sister Southern States.— lie is for a State Convention, sending Commis sioners to other States, Ac. The bauking house of Phelps A Cos., Oquawka, 111., was entered by burglars last week, aud cur rency and specie to the amount of SIO,OOO stolen. There is no clue to the robbers. A ptivate letter from Fort Jefferson, Key West, says that five Spanish vessels are lying off that harbor. Their purpose is not known, but the supposition there is that they meditate an attack on the Mexican coast. The “United States cruis ing vessel having beeu withdrawn, the people there are in a defenceless condition. A Sword kor Major Anderson.—The citizens of Taunton, Mass., have started a subscridtion for the purchase of a sword to be presented to Major Anderson, dow in command ot Fort Sumter. The Alleged Compact.— The President is re ported to have said in speaking of Gov. Floyd’s reason for resigning : “The agreement was made between the Secretary of War, who had no right to make it, and the leaders of the mob at Charles ton, who had no power to keep it.” Secession in North Carolina.—The secession flag, with fifteen stars, was raised at Wilmington, N. C., on Thursday by a large and enthusiastic gathering of Deople. A recession meeting was held at the theatre, which was denseiv crowded. The secession feeling is increasing daily. Union Meeting in Petersburg.—Hod. Timothy Rives by request, addressed an overflowing au dience at Petersburg, Va., on Thursday, in favor of the Union. A large number of ladies were present. The applause was deafening, and great enthusiasm prevailed. Resignation. —S. P. Hamilton, Esq., Naval Uffi of this port, has resigned his commission into the hands of the Government.

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.

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 mer place,which has already passed into the hands of the citizens of Florida. — Savatmaft* H epublteon, *th.
