Home Journal for lSGl.—It will bo seen, by
referring to the advertisement in another column,
that our own ami the people’s favorite, the Home
Journal, Morris & Wilms, Editors and Proprie
tors, commences anew voiume in January, with
some fresh and attractive features. M c know of
no newspaper combining more gracefully and ar

of style and arrangement. It should be a visitor
in every family circle. Long may it wave!
Union Meeting in New Jersey.—A Convention
to consider the dangers threatening the Uuion,
met at Trenton, X. J., on 1 uesdav. It was large
ly attended. Com. Stockton, chairman of the com
mittee to prepare an address, presented an address
had resolutions, both of which were adopted amid
much confusion. Ilia address declares that the
North has committed great wrongs against the
South, and must retrace her steps by repealing all
laws preventing the execution of the Fugitive
Slave Law, and allowing all citizens of the South
ern States to travel North with their property.—
All this the South has a clear right to, and looks
not for indemnity for the past, but security for
the future. -

The Hi&lit of Secession.
We propose to give an occasional extract of the
records of a few of the present prominent actors
in the immediate secession ranks, in order that
the good and reflecting people o’ Georgia may
know how much their opinions are worth; and we
commence to-day with that of the lion. Howell
Coub, the late distinguished Secretary of the
United States Treasury. This letter was written
to a committee of gentlemen in Macon, in 18.>1,
when Mr. Cobb was a candidate for Governor,
and the people then endorsed his opinions on the
subject by a vote of 18,000 majority. What say
you, now, Georgians? are you prepared to stand
by your then deliberate aud maturely expressed
opinions? Or will you be lead by such political
weathercocks into the vortex of revolution for
be assured that secession is only a milder phrase
for revolution —or will you not rather stamp the
unmistakable mark of your disapprobation upon
all such changelings, by returning reflecting, con
servative men to your Convention by such ma
jorities as shall be resp.cted for all time to come ?
We shall see. Here is the extract trom Mr. Cobb’s
lefter :
Whilst 1 deny the light of a State to secede,
and thus dissolve the Union, I would not attempt,
bj’ the strong arm of military power, to bring
bar citizens back to their allegiance, unless com
pelled to do so in defence of the rights and inter
ests of the remaining States of the Uuion. Jl r <?
should not recognize her separate independence, nor
cov'd ice allow our own interests to be periled by
sanctioning any alliance she might be disposed to
make with any foreign Government. In our desire
to inflict no injury upon a wandering sister, we
should not forget the duty which the Government
owes to those who remain firm and true to their
allegiance, and whose claims upon its protection
and support should not be lightly regaru and. The
laws of self-protection would require at the hands
of tie Government that due regard should be
had lor the protection of the rights and interests
of the other States, and to that demand it would
be bound to respond. I* one of the states, in a
rnad hour, attempt to secede trom the Uuion, and
the kind and indulgent policy which I have indi
cated should be resorted to, I have no doubt tiiat
in a very short time such State would feel it both
her duty and interest to retrace her wandering steps,
and return to the embrace of the sisterhood. IV3
opinion is founded upon die high estimate which
1 place upon the value of the Union to each and
all of the States that compose it. It would require
the experience of only a short absence to teach the
wanderer the benefits and advantages fpom which
she had voluntarily exiled herself.
Kays op Light Amid the Gloom.—The Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says :
Through all the gloom that surrounds us we
can see some rays of light- The Union is not dis
membered yet, and there is an increasing dispo
sition, North and South, to save it, or as much of
it as possible, from the threatened wreck. One
great point has been reached within one week of
the session, and that is an impression upon the
republican leaders that the crisis is really peri
lous. The financial distress at the North aud
East has also opened the eyes of men to the dan
ger of a sectional triumph. Besides this, the peo
ple of the Northern Elates have but just begun
to realize the fact when the process of dismem
berment of the Union shail commence, no one
can foresee where it will stop. The nenslavehold
ing States would be cut up into several sections,
each jealous ot or hostile to the other. New con
stitutions must be adopted by them, and when
left to prey on each other, some will find it. a poof
business. The smaller States must take positions
huoordmate to the larger ones. New York, for
instance, would not, in anew confederation, put
Rhode Island on a tooting of equality with her in
the tiemike of a Northern republic. Moreover,
rebellion against the rule of fanatical political
leaders has already commenced in the North, and
will not soon bo checked. The moment has ar
rived when it is plain that the Northern anti
slavery leaders have found their late victory a
barren one. They lost all their power and influ
ence at home when it become evident that they
had lost the power, which they had grasped at, of
domineering over the South.
Monetary and Fi.NAXCiAL.-The Nashville Union
of Tuesday says : The pressure in the Money
market instead of abating seems to be growing
in its severity, and the news we have to-daj r from
almost every quarter seems to be of the most
gloomy character. For instance, the Memphis
Avalanche, of the Bth says : “We have never seen
such universal aud general distress as now per
vades our Money market. It is absolutely useless
to attempt to negotiate the best paper, even at the
outside rates of I % and per cent per month.
The Banks, although suspended, have not dis
counted a dollar of new paper to relieve the wants
of the business community—nor have they shown
any disposition to aid in carrying forward the
cotton crop. The great staple has, in consequence,
within two weeks, (alien iu price twenty per cent,
and that in the face of favorable adviceaMrom
Europe. Our master mechanics are dischargin g
their bauds, and, should this state of things exist
much longer, thousands of industrious and wor
thy tnen will find themselves out out of employ
ment, with the rigors of winter stariug them in
the face, aud nothing but misery and want for
their families.” The Avalanche adds that the
merchant# of that place are generally taking South
Carolina Money together with the notes of all the
solvent Southern Banks.
In New Orleans financial affairs present a very
discouraging aspect with scarcely any hope of au
nearly improvement. The New Orleans Delta , in
its ilouey article of the evening of the 7th says :
“ In the present stringent condition of the mar
ket aiid until confidence is fully restored quot
lions of money must, of course, be considered as
nominal, but as an indication of the wants of bor
rowers and the sacrifices which hey submit to
for the purpose of meeting their legitimate obh
-.ns we would state that short loans huve been

choicest collaterals.” Aud he Picayune * ays:

has somewhat lessened the pressing demand for

Letter from A. Belmont, Eq.
New York, Nov. 22, 1860-
My Dear Sir : I have followed with the most
intense anxiety the events which the election of
Lincoln has called forth at the South. While I
fully appreciate the legitimate grievances of your
section of the country, aud the justice of your in
dignation, I deprecate sincerely the means which
a large portion of your citizens seem determined
to adopt for their redress. Nobody can regret
more than I do the election of Lincoln, and 1 cer
tainly need not tell you how earnestly I strove to
prevent thot baneful calamity. But, now that we
are defeated, I think that it behooves every good
Democrat, North and South, to reflect calmly up
on what course it will be most wise aud patriotic
to pursue, in order to prevent and frustrate the
evils with which a Republican Administration
threatens our country.
I take it for granted that the large majority of
our Southern brethren are in favor of the Union,
provided they can have their rights secured under
the Constitution, and their property protected
against the inroads of Northern abolitionists. I
hope and trust that the disunionists, per se, stand
alone in their conspiracy against the Union, which
they have labored to undermine for the last twen
ty years. Unfortunately, they have been able to
bring a large number of the patriotic men of the
South to the belief that Lincoln’s election is u
convincing proof of an overwhelming anti-slaver#
feeling at tlie North. This is by no means she
case, and it is evident that the unfortunate result
of the late election was mainly owing to other
causes.
The country at large had become disgusted with
the misrule of Mr. Buchanan, and the corruption
which disgraced his Administration. The Demo
cratic party made answerable for his mis
deeds, and a change was ardently desired by
thousands of conservative men out of politics.—
This feeling was particularly strong in the rural
districts and did us an infinite harm there. Had
we made an unanimous nomination at Charleston,
we should most probably have overcome our op
ponents, though for the reason just named the
struggle must have in any event been a severe
one.
But, unfortunate differences paralysed our
forces at the very outset. When the delegates of
the Cotton States, under the leadership of Mr.
Yancey, seceded at Charleston, breaking up the
National Convention, they sealed the doom of the
Democratic party and elected Mr. Lincoln. Will
the people of the South now allow these very
men to reap the fruits of their reckless course by
sustaining and aiding them in their efforts to shat
ter the magnificent fabric of our Union, which has
blessed this vast Republic with never equalled
greatness and prosperity? Is Mr. Yancey’s pro
gramme to precipitate the'Soutbinto a revolution
tojbe carried out by those patriots, who with you
have thus far so nobly fought against him and his
nefarious doctrines? *
It is statesmanlike, is it manly to withdraw
from the contest, when it becomes most fierce,
when victory {not of ephemeral power and patron
age, but of lasting guarantees, and principles,) is
within our grasp?
It is generous and kind to leave the brave and
loyal men of the North, who have stood by you
and your rights, and have battled, a forlorn hope,
against the most fearful odds—is it right and just,
I say, to forsake them in the hour of need, and
doom them to a hopeless minority?
It the Southern character is prominent for any
qualities more than others, they are those of mi
ni chiug courage and noble generosity. These
virtues have taught me to cherish and honor the
chivalrous South, and I appeal through you to
those ennobling sentiments, that our Southern
friends may pause before they pass the Rubicon,
leaving the field to their enemies and abandoning
their faithful allies to the mercy of the ruthless
victor.
But while 1 implore them to pause, I am far
from wishing them to retrace their steps. A firm,
uncompromising and united position must secure
to them their rights and equality under the Con
stitution. The conservative mind of the North is
ready and anxious to co-operate with them, and
the reaction which has already taken place among
thousands who voted for Lincoln, promises most
conclusively a satisfactory solution of our trou
bles. Only do not allow the violent men among
you to force the Southern people, under the whip
of packed conventions, into any hasty and incon
siderate steps. No convention should be formed
unless by a diiect appeal to the people ; and in
such a convention every slaveholding State should
be represented.
This, I am sure, would, under the recommenda
tions of Congress and the local Legislatures, soon
be followed by a general convention of all the
States of the Union. The faithful enforcement of
the Fugitive Slave Law and the equal rights of
the States in the Territories must and will be guar
anteed to the South, not by enactments and com
promises of Congress, which might at any time
be repealed and tampered with, but by amend
ments of the Constitution of such a nature as to
silence forever the just apprehensions of the
South.
Upon the leading national men of the South
devolves now the sacred duty to stem thej torrent
of terrorism, conjured up by rash politicians. The
time so r a satisfactory settlement of these vital
questions lias never been mot e propitious. We
have both Houses of Congress on our side, and
the conservative spirit of the country is appalled
at the contemplation ol the horrid future, conjured
up by blind fanaticism.
Already now the more moderate organs of the
Republican party give strong evidence of this
feeling. I hand you enclosed an extract from the
New York Times of yesterday, recommending
measures of compromise aud justice to the South.
The article receives additional importance from
the fact that the editor of the Times is one of the
leading lights among the Republicans.
Excuse this lengthy epistle, but. the subject is
fraught with such deep interest that volumes
would not exhaust it.
I hope you will find a few moments of leisure to
let me hear from you, and I trust that you may,
with the blessing of God, be able o give me cheer
ful tidings. Yours, very truly,
August Belmont.
To the Hon. John Forsyth, Mobile.

UNIONMEETING IN PHILADELPHIA.
Philadelpia, Dec. 13.—The grand Union meet
ing assembled to-day at noon in Independence
Square.
The meeting was opened with a prayer by Bish
op Potter.
Mayor Henry presided, and he was assisted by
a large number of Vice Presidents and Secreta
ries, whose names comprise a large number of
our wealthy and influential citizens.
Resolutions were read aud adopted proclaiming
their attachment aud reverence to the Constitu
tion, as an earnest and enduring love ; a united
love, not. sectional but national.
They also deeply deplore the fact that some
States have placed upon their statute books,
enactments evading ami defeating the provisions
ot the Constitution. The meeting pronounced
such acts as violations of the solemn compact and
appealing for their repeal.
The meeting also pledged that the statute books
of Pennsylvania shall be carefully searched, and
every statute, if any such, invading the constitu
tional rights of sister States be at once repealed.
They also recognise the obligations of the fugi
tive slave law and recommend the passage ot a
State law compensating the owner in case of the
rescue of the captured slave.
This meeting obediently submits to the deci
sions of the Supreme Court, as to the rights of
slave owners in the Territories, and recommend
the disputed questions be submitted forthwith to
said Court.
This meeting also approves of the suggestion to
hold a Convention composed of delegates from
the States contemplating secession, which shall
suggest such remedies as they may deem proper,
with the lirm conviction that propositions ema
nating from such Convention, will be received by
the oilier States in a fraternal and conciliatory
spirit. They also appeal to their brethren in the
States contemplating secession, to forbear, re
minding them of the innumerable ties which bind
us together as one people.
The resolutions also condemn the denunciations
of slavery as it exists in the United States.
The city was decorated with flags—the motto
on one, suspended from a hotel, was “Concession
before Secession,” •
The meeting was immense, and was composed
ot tens of thousands of people.
Mayor Henry, in his remarks, said that we must
restore harmony, public sentiment must go back
to its old. sland-point ; misplaced appeals from
the pulpits and presses, must be frowned upon ;
and, in a word, we must preserve the Union at all
hazards.
CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, Dec. 13.— Senate.— In the Senate
to-day, Mr. Johnson, of Tennessee, introduced a
series of resolutions looking to a settlement of
the pending political difficulties. The resolutions
provide for the appointment of a select committee
of thirteen, who shall be instructed to enqnire
into the expediency of amending the Constitution
—first, by authorizing a dividing line between
free and slave territories, on an equitable basis ;
second, by compelling the free States to return
fugitive slaves or pay double their value ; third,
authorising slave labor in government workshops
aud other establishments in the slave States;
fourth, Cougress shall never interfere with slave
ry in the District of Columbia, until the institu
tion is abolished in Maryland, and not then but
with the consent of the inhabitants and compen
sation to the slaveholders* fifth, Congress shall
never molest the present ratio of slave represen
tation ; sixth, that these provisions shail be una
menduble and unalterable.
The resolutions were laid over for future action.
The ten million bill was amended.
House. —The Senate amendments to the ten
million bill were concurred iu.
No other business of importance was transact
ed.
Both Houses adjourned until Monday.
WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.
Washington, Dec. 13.—Private letters received
here from prominent citizeus of Georgia and Ala
bama, indicate more favorable sentiments in rela
tion to the maintianeuce of the Union. Although
no decided action has taken place there is an evi
dent disposition in many influential quarters to
postpone final action on secession, and await the
development of public opinion in the central and
border States.
To-day a paper has been circulated by Southern
extremists for the signatures of Congressmen, in
effect, that there is no hope left for the coiton
States but in secession, and urging their constit
uents to prepare for the worst. The paper was
generally signed by the members from the Cotton
States, but by few from the border slave States.

rpHE undersigned. Agent fortlie above VcriiV.srr, in conse
_l_ quence of its marked success the past season, and the gre: < -
ly increased demand arising therefrom, has made arrcugemeUe
with tha manufacturer for a large and full supply; and
quiriniFgreater facilities for storage, and other accommodation,
has taken the four story- Warehouse as below, where he will be
able to supply any quantity required, with promptness, iia
may be allowed to express his satisfaction in view of the tact
that of the numerous purchases made of him by planters, geit
rally for the purpose of making comparative ‘tests with otliei
fertilisers, not one case has come to his knowledge where cur
Fertiliser has not shown a decided superiority. Planters vim
hare used Manes’Phosphate, now make it their sole reliance,
and are ordering (some of them) as much as irftv tons, for use
the next season. This fact speaks for Itself. We have dli-cov
ered a quality, developed In the drouth, which was before unob
served, viz ; its hygrometric power, or rapacity, 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 investmert,
arsing from the use of Mapes’Phosphate, are now placed be
yond question, and the experience of the past season, has eaten
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 supply any description ol
