JAMES WARDS Eli, ProprietorCotnAiiution&i st. From our Evening Edition of yesterday. Correspondence of the Chronicle and Sentinel. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. Milledgevillb, Ga., Dec. 7th. SENATE. Mr. Moore, of \\ hitfield, moved to reconsider ho much of yesterday’s proceedings as related to the indefinite postponement of a bill to prohibit betting on elections. Mr. Moore approved the passage of the bill. He thought it was oue of the greatest evils of this country. The practice led to undue excitement, and interfered with the purity of the ballot box. The motion was lost. Mr. Lawton, of Chatham, moved to reconsider the bill lost yesterday to extend aid t the Ogle thorpe Medical College. lie did not think that Senators gave the bill that consideration yester day it deserved. The motion was lost. Mr. Williams, of Terrell, introduced the pro ceedings of a political meeting held in that coun ty. They recommended that Georgia declareher herself out of the Union. Mr. Smith, of Talbot, called up a Senate bill to incorporate the town of Talbotton. Mr. Spalding, of Mclntosh, called up the bill tor the establishment of an Armory in this State, for the manufacture of munitions of war. .dr. Hartlett, of Jasper, opposed the bill. He favored the establishment of it in Augusta, if Georgia would have it, but he thought that we should not build one, because it would involve us in a debt we would never be able to get out of. He ottered a substitute for the original bill, re commending Augusta as the best place for the establishment of the armory. Mr. Collier, of Fulton, wanted to know if Au gusta was Georgia. Mr. Hartlett said he would inform the geutle aaian that it was not. Mr. Collier thought we ought not to look to aov particular locality. IT.* seemed to fear that Au gusta would be selected. Heing a resident of At lanta, it is presumable he preferred that particu lar point—though he did not say so. Mr. Paine, of Telfair, opposed the bill before, find he would oppose it again, it would he a drag upon our Treasury as long as it existed. Let us buy our arms in Europe, or wherever we can get them. There is no proof that un armory is neces sary. Mr. Jones, of Newton, offered an amendment, viz : to insert after the words “Augusta Machiue U orks,” “any other works in Georgia that may be converted into the armory in the State.”— Agreed to. ... Mr. Bartlett replied to Mr. Collier. He desired Augusta to be the place, because he was informed there were buildings there of suitable dimensions, Ac., for the manufacture of arms. Mr. Lawton, of Chatham, offered a substitute, which was lost- A motion was made by Mr. Oliver, of Heard, to postpone the bill and all its amendments inde finitely—ayes 56, nays 53. So the motion pre vailed. Mr. Usry, of Glasscock, changed his vote from yes to no, which made the vote a tie. The Chair voted no, and so the motion to postpone indefinite ly was lost. Several gentlemen came in, and ex pressed a desire to vote on the bill Mr. Holt, of Muscogee, moved t > make the bill the special order for to-morrow. Carried. Mr. Tracy, of Bibb, moved to take up the bill for the pardon of Choice. Carried, and made the special order for to-morrow, 11 o'clock. Ou motion of Mr. Lawtou, of Chatham, the bal ance of the inorniug session was spent in reading House bills a second time. Adjourned until 3 o’clock, P. M. APTEROON SESSION. There being some doubt about a quorum being present, the roll was called, and it was ascertain ed that a quorum was present. The order of the .day was the bill for the reduction of the members .of the Legislature. Mr. 1 ,awton, of Chatham, said he would not en ter into an extended argument upon the question. The matter did not affect the Constitution. It has been found to be impracticable to diminish the members of the House of Representatives. Geor gia has the largest Senate in the United States, ihe substitute offered by the Judiciary Commit tee recommended that the State be divided into forty-four Senatorial Districts, which would give us a Senator from every three counties. The bill was lost by a constitutional majority. To lay out anew county from the counties of Chattooga and Walker, to be called Guerry coun ty. Lost. To appoiut three Trustees for the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, consisting of Messrs. Colvard of Columbia, McWhorter of Greene, ami Dr. West inoreland of Fulton. Passed. A bill tor the relief of widows under certain circumstances. Mr. Harris, of Worth, thought if any people in the world were provided for it was widows, lie moved to postpone indefinitely. Carried. Adjourned. ITOI'SK. Mr. 1 ’rice, of Pickens, moved to reconsider so much of the Journal of yesterday as refers to the passage of the bill to create the office of Adjutant General in the State. Motion lost. Mr. Lester, of Cobb, moved to reconsider the loss of the Dill to appropriate money to the Geor gia Military Institute. Motion prevailed. The resolutions of Mr. Cullens, of Clay, pledg ing the aid, assistance aud sympathy of the peo ple of Georgia to any Southern State that may secede and the General Government may attempt to coerce intosubjection, and calling upon her sister States for like aid and sympathy, were ta ,ken up. The whole of the morning was speut iu the dis cussion of these resolutions. Various amendments and substitutes were proposed. Many attempts were made to postpone the resolutions but with out success The House adjourned. AiTEttXOOX Session. — The afternoon was spent iu the same discussion, and the resolutions were adopted by a vote of ayes UH, nays 23. Adjourned. p‘S.—Dy a lucky accident, I obtain a copy of the Cullens Resolutions as passed. They are as follows : “The grievances now affecting the Southern States must be effectively resisted. -•The interests and destinies of the slavebolding States of this Uuipn are and most remain com mon. , “The secession of one from the Ltuon must, more or less, involve and atiect all. “Therefor*, Rolc,d, That iu the judgment of this General'Assembly, any .State in this Union lias the sovereign right to secede from the Union whenever she deems it necessary and proper for safety, honor or happiness; and that when a State exercises this right of secession, the Federal Go vernment has no right to coerce or make war up on her because of the exercise of such right to secede; aud should auy Southern State secede from the Americau Union, and the Federal Gov ernment makes war upon her therefor, Georgia will give to the seceding Southern State the aid, assistance encouragement and sympathy of her entire people. And should the State of Georgia secede from the Union by the action ot the Con vention of her people to assemble on the 10th ot Jauuary next, she asks the like sympathy and as sistance from her Southern sisters which she hereby offers to them. Pending the discussion ot these resolutions, quite a number of substitutes and amendments were offered, among them the following, by Mr. Mintz, of Jackson, ns a substitute for the whole mt ße*ohed, That it is desirable that the slave holdinu States should meet iu Convention at as early a day as possible, to take into consideration the mode” aud manner of redress ; after the ad journment of which it will be proper for the peo pie of Georgia to meet in Convention, to give their consideration to the subject to which we rc ter. Mr. Key, of Jasper, also offered the following : Provided such secediug States shall first consult and confer with this State before seceding; the duty to confer and consult on the one band, and the duty to asist and protect on the other, being reciprocal.

McDonough, Dec. 4, 1860, i A large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens ! ot Henry county met in the Court House on Tues ; day, 4th inst., the object of which meeting will I appear m the subjoined resolutions. I On motion, the meeting was organized bv call ’ mg Judge Thus. M. Speer to tbe Chair, ami John Mi.well requested to act as Secretary. The meeting being called to order*by the chair, on motion, Col. Geo. M. Nolan was requested to explain the object of the meeting, to which cal! he responded in a very brief and succinct manner. On motion, the Chair appointed a Committee of thirteen, consisting of the following gentlemen viz : Geo. M. Nolan, G. W. McMullen, John Hail’ S. 11. Maddox, John Pander, Isaiah Dodson, H. C. Merritt, John H. Law, J. T. Albert, L. 11. Tur ner, Jackson Smith, John Johnson, Dr. Hitch and Dr. B. Petitt, to report business for the action of the meeting. Committee retire^—returning, re ported through their Chairman, Geo. M. Nolan, the following preamble and resolutions : Whereas, in \ iew of the present political crisis that iiaugs like a dark aud threatening cloud over our devoted country, filling the minds and hearts of patriots and philanthropists, with anxious thoughts aud gloomy forebodings, the Legislature has passed an act requiring the sovereign people of Georgia, in their respective counties to elect, and send delegates to a Convention, to be held in Miliedgeville on the 16th of January, 1861, to de liberate and act for the dearest interest of Georgia aud tbe South. Heroiced. That w e approve of the action of the Legislature in calling the Convention, and that the sovereign people of Georgia in Convention assembled lor that purpose and not the Legisla ture, is the only body to whom can be legitimate ly referred the grave questionsol tcce<*i n, r>-A tance to the General Government , the mode, the measure, the time. Resolved, That the hitherto wonted aggressions ot the Republic vn party, and tbe elevation bv tlieiu of any man to the chief magistracy of the nation, upon a plaftonu ot principles in direct antagonism to our rights, is calculated to fire the Southern heart and engender the deepest feelings id resentment: i Out not a county in the State of Georgia, nor in the whole South’ is more keenly alive to ike great wrong, or more deeply regrets the election of Abraham Lincoln than does llen rv county. Lut that it is the sense of this meet ing, that the^ simple electmu of any man to the Presidency, if constitutionally elected, is not suffi cient cause for the dissolution of this Union the destruction of this Government. Hsolved, That in an emergency like this, we should be cool, but brave, determined but wise, prudent but not rash—that passion should not outstrip, the dictates of better judgment; that we should, in the Convention to assemble, in addition to the time honored principles laid down in the Georgia Platform of InV\ demand of the sectional party at the North, a dear recognition of our Constitutional rights—a strict observance of the same ; the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law by the General Government against the States ‘ that have practically nullified said law bv the-enactment of their Personal Liberty Bills'; that in all Federal enactments the Southern man’s slave shall he as fully Considered pv'-pu ty as the Northern man’s horse or cow, and that the negro at the North, in tedera ’ elections, shall not be en titled to the right of sutl'rage. Resolved, That we are for the Union of these States, made by our Fathers upon the principle of compromise and conces- ion ; that we revere the Union which cost tbe blood ami treasure of the Patriots of’76, and that we w ill cling to it, and tight our battles in the Union, if w e must, until every Constitutional remedy for its preservation ‘ shall have been exhausted.* • ttmfti.ii vrfpV. we WritrM hasty and impolitic action by the Convention to assemble, yet, having the utmost confidence in the virtue, wisdom and courage of her people, wo pledge ourselves to stand to and carry out their will as expressed in said Convention, whatever it may be. A.so!red, In our judgment, the approach ing Convention onght not merely to adopt meas ures temporary iu effect, but such as will bring the slavery agitation to a duality; aud as the best means of doiug this, the Southern States should hold a Convention and act in concert, so as to se cure the rights, the interest aud the safety of the South in the Union, if they can, and out of it if they must. Ji-.solrcd, That we appoiut Saturday, the 15th inst., as the dav for the respective Militia Districts to send up to the Court House three delegates to nominate candidates to represent Henry county in the approaching Convention. After tbe report of the comm-Pee was read, a set of resolutions were offered as a substitute for those reported by the committee, which, upon being put before the meeting, were promptly voted down. On motion, the report of the committee was then put to the meeting, and was almost unani mously adopted. On motion of Judge Henry Stokes, it was Resolved, That tbe proceedings of this meeting be published in tbe Chronicle A Sentinel, National American and American Union. The meeting then adjourned. Thus. M. Speer, Ch’n. John Stilwell. Sec’v. Citizens Meeting. At a meeting of the citizens of \Y arren counlv, held at the Court House on Tuesday, 4th inst Judge J. M. Roberts was called to the Chair, and \\ . 1L Roval appointed Secretary. The object of the meeting was stated to be to nominate suitable candidates to represent the county iu the State Convention. A set of Resolutions were ©Sered bv Isaac B. Huff, Esq., upon which a spirited discussion arose! m winch Messrs. Huff, Pottle, Raffold and Neal participated -Judge Cody having moved to table them. Pending this discussion the meeting tem porarily adjourned, but subsequently re-organi zed w ith the same otlicers. Judge M. TANARUS). Cody moved the appointment of a committee of ten, who should suggest the names of candidates. Tbe Committee retired for a few moments and reported the names of M. I). C’odv and N. A. Wicker, which was ratified by the meeting. On motion the Georgia Clipper, Chronicle A Sentinel an 1 Constitutionalist, were requested to publish the proceedings of the meeting. ... „ _ , LM. Roberts, Chairman. Y\. H. Royal, Sec’3*. The following are the resolutions submitted by Isaac IL Huff: \\ hereas, the Governor of ihisState has issued his proclamation tor the election ot delegates in each county to a Convention to assemble in tbe city* of Miliedgeville on the DHh of January next, to de termine the mode and measure of resistance to be adopted by this State to Northern aggression, and whereas, we deem it proper for the people of Warren county, in primary assembly convened, to express themselves on this and all other ques tions affecting their interest and honor ; there fore, be it Revolted, That we view the appointment of Electors in a coutroling number of the Northern States of this l niou, pledged to the support of Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin, for Pre sident and Y ice- President, with deep concern and unfeigned regret. Revolted, That the election of President and \ ice President by a sectional party, on a section al platform, embracing provision's inimical to the rights, equality, and honor oft) so Southern States, is to our minds conclusive evidence of the North ern States to continue to wage an unjust war of aggression on the South, until it shall have ter minated iu the extermination of the peculiar in stitutions of fifteen States of this Union. Rewired, That in tile judgmeut of this meeting, the electoral votes from the States of Massachu setts, \ ermont, New York, Connecticut, Maine, Ohio, Michigan :id Wisconsin, stud all others that have laws on their statute books, directly or in directly nullifying the provisions of the’Fugitive Slave Law, or that allowed negroes to vote iu the late election for President and Vice President, ought not to be counted by the Senate and House of Representatives ot the United States, as pro vided for iu the twelfth article of the Airfecaded Constitution of the United States. Resolved, That the motto of our people is and ought to be, “Equality in the Union,or Indepen dence out of it.” Ih voiced, That in the judgement of this meet ing, the inauguration of Lincoln aud Hamlin as President and Vice President of the United States uuder the peculiar circumstances of the case ought to be resisted by the Southern States, even (as a last resort) to a disruption of every tie that binds us to the Union. Resolved, That we approve of the call of a con vention of the people of this State to determine the mode, time and manner of resistance. Revolved, That we will support no man for the Convention who does not endorse the sentiments embracing iu the foregoing resolutions. Augusta Market. Saturday, 1 P. M.

Wo offer this now Gnano to tho Plantors ot* Georgia, in tho groat ost confidonco that it is tho host and choapost Fertilizer yet dis covered. It is a NATUR AL GUANO, imported in hulk and sold in its natural state, without Grinding or Manipulation, which is tho host guarantee that Planters can have that it is PURS & UNADULTERATED’ Although it is essentially a Phos ftlialic Guano, it has, in addition to a large amount of Phosphate of Lime—which renders it a perma nent Fertilizer—a snflicient pro portion ofthe Sulphates of Ammo nia, Potash and Soda, and organic matter rich in Nitrogen, to secure for it prompt and efficient action upon the first crop. We obtained enough of i( last Spring to have it thoroughly tested by some ofthe best Planters in the State. The certificates of these Planters, together with the analy ses of Prof. Jones, Chemist to the Cotton Planters’ Association; Prof. Shepherd, of the Charleston Medi cal College, and Prof. Darby, of Alabama, furnish convincing evi dence of its decided superiority to any Fertilizer yet introduced into this country. These evidences are printed in Pamphlet form, and will be furnished gratis on appli cation to our Agents, or to us. THIS GUANO IS FREE FROM HARD LUMPS.
