From \V ashixgtox.— The Washington City cor
respondent of .the Charleston Merc'try, in a dis
patch dated Nov. 18th, says :
1 learn to-day from gentlemen who hold the ]
most intimate relations with Mr. Buchanan, that
he states that the Message will enforce the neces- !
sity of executing the Federal laws against anv !
| nullification which may be attempted. This :
course he holds to be the simple fulfillment of his !
oath in respect to nullification, whether occurring
at the •fi.jrth or at the South. He is understood
us regarding secession from the Government as
hostility to the Federal laws.
<:.-c Amos Kendall has commenced a series of let- ‘
ters against secession. He takes the ground that
South Carolina has made a perpetual contract to
rema n a member of this Contederacy. Senator
© Slidell, of Louisiana, is out warmly for secession.'!

there is great consternation in consequence.

| To the Inioti Parij of Georgia.
Millepgeville, Nov. 10,1880.
The agreement here, to call a Convention of the
people, with such unanimity, is not with any view
not to make a party question. Oa the contrary, j
that was the very design of it. Ido not mean a
party question on the old lines, but for the pur !
pose of getting the sense of the people on the now !
and great, issue that overrides all others. You
canuot get the sense of the people without voting j
for men who agree with you.
When ihe Legislature met, many of the Breck
inridge men were moving everything to have se- 1
cession passed by the Legislature, and the Union !
men of all parties were for calling a Convention, i
The seees.-ionists, finding they would be beaten,
came into the measure of a Convention, rather
thau be defeated by the Logislatnre.
A large majority of the people are for Union,
and they must not allow themselves to be cheated
out of their wishes. And if you do not put up and
vote for sterling Union men, and them only, the
Convention w ill, contrary to the wishes of two
thirds of the people, declare for secession. Be
ware, or j’ou are lost. Decision.
The Convention Kill.
The following is the bill agreed upon by the
;,,int select committee of the two Houses of our
Legislature on federal relations, and sanctioned
hy a large number of prominent citizen:* of all
parties, now at the seat of government:
A BILL,
Entitled an act to authorise and require the Go
vernor of the State of Georgia to call a Conven
tion of the people of this State, and for other
purposes therein named.
Whereas, The present crisis in our National nf
fldrs, in the judgment of this General Assembly,
demands resistance ; and whereas, it is the privi
lege of the sovereign people to determine upon
the mode, measure and time of such resistance—
Therefore, the General Assembly of Georgia do
enact :
Sec. 1. That upon the passage of this act, His
Excellency, the Governor, he and he is hereby re
quired to issue his proclamation, ordering an
election to be held in each and every county in

of this State, to convene at the seat of govern
ment, on the 16th dav of January, in the year
1861.®*'”
See. 2. That the said election for delegates shall

at the same places, as elections for members of

and all returns of election shall be in the same
manner forwarded to the Governor of this State,
who shall furnish each delegate chosea with a
certificate of his election.
Sec. 3. That the eounies now entitled under i’ e

i Unpeople of Georgia shall be entitled to the same
mileage aud per diem pay received by the mem-

and shall provide for ail other expenses incurred

Sec. 6. That said conventiou shall have power
to elect officers necessary to their organization,
and to do all things needful to carry out the true

Presldeutial Election.
Tennessee.— Official returns from eight counties
in Tennessee foot up as follows: Bell 66,772,
Breckinridge 62,570, Douglas 10,859. Bell’s plu
rality over Breckinridge 4,202, and .Scott county
® vet to hear from, which gave Gov. Harris a ma
jority of 39. The official returns will probably i
vary this summing up slightly.
Kentucky.—The Louisville Courier gives the
vote, official and unofficial, of seventy-four coun
ties with the following result: Bell, 58,575;
Breckinridge, 35,623; Douglas. 24,0*23; Lincoln
■rets over two thousand votes. The entire majori
ty of Bell over Breckinridge in the whole State
will be over 12,<j00.
Missouri. —Official and reliable returns of the
election thus far received from Missouri, give the
following figures -Bell 54,722 ; Douglas .55,483;
Breckinridge *27,906; Lincoln 16,642. Douglas’
majority over Bell is therefore 761. The St. Louis
Republican says There are twenty counties yet
to h°ar from and some few alterations to make in
the above, as the official figures are received, but
which will not change the result. Although Bcff
may gain some on Douglas in the counties to hear
from, in consequence of a probable increase in
the Breckinridge vote, it is hardly possible for
Bell to carry the State.
North Carolina.— The Raleigh Register pre
sents returns, reported as official, from 7.5 coun
ties, which give Breckinridge a majority of 3,914.
Tw*elv counties remain to be heard from, which
gave Ellis a majority of 2,072. The vote polled
for President is some ten or twelve thousand less
than the vote for Governor in August last. Doug
* ] as ’ TO i;e in the whole State will not exceed 3000.
Maryland.— Complete returns have been re
ceived from all the counties, which foot up, Breck
inridge 42,184, Bell 41,463, Douglas 5,875. Ma
jority tor Breckinridge 721.

1 711111ary Parade and Battery Reception.
The several companies comprising the Augusta
Volunteer Battalion paraded yesterday afternoon,
to do honor to the occasion of the reception of
the Battery of field pieces by the N\ ashington
Artillery. Each corps was strong in numbers,
j Toe display was truly fine. The Battalion formed
: on Broad street, at the intersection of Monument
street—Capt. C. A. Platt, of the Clinch Rifles,
commanding; Lieut. C. B. D.vr, of the Clinch,
| Acting Adjutant.
! The Battalion formed in the following order :
Richmond Hussars, Capt. Stovall.
Augusta Brass and Martial Bands.
Washington Artillery, Capt. Gtrardey.
Irish Volunteers, Acting Capt. Barrett.
Oglethorpe Infantry, Capt. Clarke.
Montgomery Guards, Lieut. Milledge.
Clinch Riffes, Lieut. Adam.
The whole brilliant cortege then marched down
Washington street, to the Waynesboro Depot,
where tl;e Battery was stored. Four brass can
aon, handsomely mounted, on strong carriages,
with ammunition wagons of equal solidity and
strength, were here brought out, and with these
valuable accessions, the procession again march
ed up Washington street to Greene, and the com
j panics then formed in the Park, fronting the City
Hall. A large concourse had gathered here, on
the City Hall steps, the balcony above, the Park,
as well as in the adjacent street. The scene was
one of the most animating we have ever witness
ed.
His Honor Mayor Blodget then came forward,
and delivered the following address:
Gentleim uof the Washington Artillery :—This
day marks anew era in this history ot your Com
pany. To your custody the liberality of vour
State has confided this battery of guns, and has
thereby given you the most solemn assurance it
is in bet pewer to offer of the dependence she
places in your ability to aid in tpe maintenance
j her rights. The duty you havfc voluntarily as
sumed, is one of the most responsible with which
am association of men can be entrusted. It is a
| high honor, and that it isio regarded by your
1 intelligence, there can be no doubt,
j It is a source of great congratulation to every
j recipient of the blessings of our system of govern
ment, that hive the soldier is the volunteer. Un
like the old military despotisms of Europe, whose
safety consists solely ibe compulsory service of
standing armies, every citizen capable of bearing
arms is a willing warrior at his country’s call, ft
is bis mi.-sionto preserve and defend the glorious
heritage of cftul and religious liberty bequeathed
to him by patriots, and to jealously guard the
; honor and the interest ot a government which has
had no equal in the history of the world. The
j present relies implicitly upou his constancy and \
i courage the future will look back to his career
arid hold him responsible for any defalcation of
duty which he may evidence.
1 he military spirit of our citizens is one which
at ail times should meet with the most generous
encouragement. Not the spirit of aggression, or
an at rogant exercise of power, but the spirit of
the freeman, who well knows his rights and revels
in the consciousness of his ability to maintain
them whenever and wherever they may be threat
ened. Firm in the justice of his cause, his expe
i ience acquired as a soldier in time of peace ren
ders him invincible w hen called upon to partici
pate in the perils of war. It is then he demon
strates that he is no holiday soldier fitted only for
• dress parades and anniversary celebrations,* but
equal to any emergency that may call him to the
pr sence of the foes of his native or adopted land.
No guarantee is necessary to those who know
you, gentlemen of the Washington Artillery, that
J< u wih as the custodians of those weapons reflect
credit both upon yourselves and your State when
ever the necessity for the display of your efficiency
may arise. Being the only organization of thfs
character in our city, and reposing the utmost
j confidence in your intelligence, and patriotism, we
i may c ontinue to rest assured that the trust now
committed to yon could not have been delegated
to better and safer hands Act for the future,
gentlemen, as you have acted for the past, and
your fellow-citizens will not fail to do you justice.
His Honor spoke w ith great force and impres
siveness, and his remarks, well timed, vigorous and
ta.-tefnl as they were, kepi the close attention of
the large audience throughout, and when he had
i concluded there w as general and hearty applause.
I.ieut. J. J. Jacobus, of the Washington Artille
ry, in behali of the Company, then tesDonded as
follows: .
:" r - Mayor / The courtesy w ith which you have
this day complimented the Washington Artillery,
is but one of the many acts of kindness which the
City Council of Augusta, and you as its presiding
officer, have time iJtia again lavished upon us ;
and I avail myself of this opportunity, in behalf
of our Company, to give public expression to our
heartfelt- acknowledgment. The kindness and
liberality of the City Council evidences a confi
dence and a reliance in our Company which is
truly gratifying, and it shall always be the aim
and ambition of the Washington Artillery to
I prove to you, to the body over which you pre
i side, and to our fellow-citizens, that your confi
dence (representing as you do the City of Augus
ta,; has not been misplaced, but has been proper
i ly, fully, and deeply appreciated.
The occasion, sir, which has called us together,
under ordinary circumstances would be highly
interesting. A company which has been organized
for a senes of years, so long, indeed, that many
c>! its members have become veteians in its ser
vice, who has time and again made requisition
’ upon the Federal and Stata Government for arms;
j and its many appeals disregarded and unheeded,
has at length, through the kindness of the Exe
cutive officer received the efficient arms, the re
ception of which has elicited the kind congratu
lations of your Honor, and the complimentary
escort of our Brother Soldiers.
I say, that under ordinary circumstances the
occasion would he interesting. But at this time,
when the military and military appropriations
employ the time aud talent of Legislatures—when
men and arms and the munitions of war, and even
the horrors of war, have become as “familiar as
household words”—when every vibration of the
electric wire is fraught with the intensest interest
—When “all the clouds that lowered upon our
house” have burst in all their might ana fury—
when even the voice of the statesman is stilled hv
suspense, and the heart of the patriot heats w ith
emotions of anxiety and terror —at such a time,
when the Union, a Union to whicn sages, philoso
phers and soldiers contributed, and which was
cemented by the talents of the statesman and the
hqoocl of the w arrior—when that Union, which
never yet trembled before a nation or a world of
nations, quakes to its centre, and “the flag of our
Union” droops at half-mast, at such a time, around
: this gorgeous display, iu this glitter of arms, this
concentration of the bone and sinew of our great
ues<. w hilst hover the tears yet cluster the hopes
of our country, at such a time, the occasion is
pregnant with the most profound aud deepest
interest.
The signs of the times ominously point to con
| notion of hostile armies, to war, aud to bloodshed.
They speak in tones too significant to be misun
derstood, that soon we must resign the ease of
holiday soldiers, and use our “ dearest action in
the tented field.” As citizens, we deplore the oc
casion, but as soldiers, with unblanched cheek,
with a firm hand we grasp our arms, and invoking
the God of battles to assist the right, are ready to
do or die.
The Washington Artillery, composed mostly of
foreign born citizens, men who have left their
land of oppression, w here liberty and its manifold
blessings lie helpless and bleeaiug, crushed by
the foot of despotism and royalty, have sought
and obtained that liberty in the pursuit of happi
ness, which the spirit of our institutions extends
to all who seek its blessings.
The sad recollections of the past, shrouded by
oppression's wrong, contrast with their happy
pr< sent, and justly awaken bright prospects in
the unrevealed future, which hinds their hearts
j firmly to the land of their adoption, and will nerve
their hearts to deeds of prowess and of valor in
i its defence.
Despotism and despotic laws, have in ‘years
gone by, compelled them as conscripts to fight for
and maintain the pomp and ambition of Kings!
They now bring their and their
strength aud offer them as volunteers, upon the
altar and in defence of the land of their adoption.
And should the tocsin of war sound, and the
service of the military of the State of Georgia be
required to defend her interests, her sovereignty,
or her honor, the Washington Artillery will
promptly obey the call, and with tmdlminlshed
numbers will flock to the standard*)! our beloved
State, he it the stars and stripes or the Colonial
Flag of Georgia.
The speech of Lieut. J., spirited and earnest as
i it was, elicited cordial applause. \ --
Bv the time these interesting ceremonies were
finished, the day was fast giving place irniwilighk—
and when the cavalcade had reached Broad street
iu trout of our office, it was almost dark. This
was to be regretted, as many had calculated on
witnessing the display in our broad thoroughfare
—a display which would, we think, have eclipsed
any former military fete.
What further transpired before the Battalion
was dismissed, we were unable to learn, owing to
the lateness of the hour. But of this we are cer
tain, the intelligence, spirit and patriotism, which
animate our citizen-soldiery, were the theme of
many who were spectators of the parade yester
day.
All Commerce not Suspended. —The N. Y. Post
says: Twelve hundred kegs of powder and eighty
four boxes of ammunition, were shipped to-day to
Charleston, South Carolina.
Letters received in Richmond, Va., state that
the Knights of the Golden Circle are starving in
Texas. They censure Gen. Bickley severelv for
misleading them on a wild goose chase. They
are anxious to come home to the Old Dominion.
Fatal Shooting. —On Monday the sth inst. t< a
difficulty occured between Mr. Jas. E. P. McGrew
of this place, and a Mr. John Hall, of the country,
in which a vounger Hall received an accidental
shot from a pistol in the hands of his brother. The
ball took effect in his abdomen, causing death in
a few days.— Pulaslci {Term.) Citizen, Xov. 16.

Lectures on the English Language
BV THE HOA. GEO. P. MARSH.
One vol. octavo, 700 page*. Price S3.
” We believe we are not going too far when we say that Mr.
Marsh’s book is the best treaties of the kind in the language. It
abounds in nice criticism and elegant disefission on matters ot
taste, showing in the author a happy capacity for ..Esthetic dis
crimination, as well as for linguistic attainment.” —Atlantic
Monthly.
“ These lectures could have been written only by one himself
profoundly versed in the department of km wledge'to which they
relate. The style is graceful and attractive—the opinions are
sound and ably vindicated—the purest taste, as to words, idioms,
and authors, pervades the entire work. So much learning and
wisdom, weighty thought and just criticism, have seldom been
condensed int-> an equal space, and still more rarely presented
in a h rm so well adapted to ail classes of intelligent readers.”—

ENGLISH NOTICES.
from the London Saturday Hevinr.
** Mr. Marsh has ctearlv travelled a good deal, read a good
deal, and thought a good'deal, He speaks with that hearty ear
nestness which is so characteristic or the better class of his na
tion. He not otdv understands, hut loves his subject. His phi
lology is of a practical Work day kind. His conclusions are not
mere'abstract taiths.”
From the London Critic.
“ There is an earnestness in his lectures which proves that his
heart is in his work, and that he considers that work a very dif
ferent thing from the dry disse tations on Philology which have
from time to time appeared. They are remarkable for learning,
diligence, discrimination, and goto sense. We heartily com
mend this took to teachers, learners, and all w ho take an inter
est in the Philology of their native language.”
From the London Atheneum.
“We have read this work with much satisfaction. We give it
a hearty welcome as calculated to excite an iuteres: in the study
of English, and to render valuable assistance in its pursuit. It
is distinguished by a higher order of scholarship, a more thor
ough investigation of ortgtnal sources of knowledge, a sounder
judgment, a more correct taste, amt a purer style than we gener
ally find in Transatlantic productions.

ri'lHE undersigned. for the alxvve Fertiliser, in Cor,;e
----i quenee of its marked success the past season, and the grc:.l -
ly increased demand arising therefrom, has made arrangements
with the manufacturer for a large and full supply; and :e
----quiring greater facilities for storage and other accommodation,
has taken the four story Warehouse as below, where he wiil lx;
able to supply any quantity required, with promptness. He
may t>e allowed to express his satisfaction in view of the tael
that of tlie numerous purchases made of him by planters, gene
rally for tbe purpose* of making comparative tests with other
fertilisers, not one case has come to his knowledge where our
Fertiliser has not shown a decided superiority. Planters who
have used M apes’ Phosphate, now make it tfieir sole reliance,
and are ordering (some of them) as much as flftv tons, for use
the next season. This fact speaks for itself. We have discov
ered a quality, developed in the-dronth, which was before unob
served, viz ; its hygrometric power, or capacity, to absorb
moisture from the atmosphere, which obviated to a large extent
the late unparalleled drought where it was used, while most
other fertilisers were not only valueless, but positively Injurious
to the plant. The safety and profit as a money investment,
arising from the use of Nlapes’ Phosphate, are now placed be
yond question, and the experience of the past season, has estab
lished what we have, without hesitation, always asserted foi it,
that is the only fertiliser reliable under all circumstances of
soil, mode of cultivation, and of weather.
The undersigned is also prepared to supoly anv description ot
AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY and IMPLEMENTS, ot
the latest improved patterns adapted to Southern cultivation, at
lowest prices.
