COLUMBUS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 3, 1861.
The Contest orer, let us be Friends,
The great straggle for eur Constitutional rights
and independence was decided yfsterday by the
Empire State. Our heart has been enlisted in
the cause and we hare done all in our power to
oarry ih» State out of the Union. Day and night
have we watched the political heavens and warn
ed the people against the impending danger.—
Never since the Revolution, have we decided so
grave an issue as that presented to the people at
the ballot-b:>x yesterday. Wo trust that Georgia
has crowned herself with glory, that throughout
her broad limits the voice goes up for secession.
But the contest is now over. Let us be friends.
No crimination or re-crimination. If we have
offended any one in the heat of the great struggle
wo can only say we had no such intention. We
impugn no man’s motives, nobody must impugn
our own. We religiously believe that secession
is the only safety for the South, and our highest
aim has been to bring it about. Those who
think differently, though honestly, will repent
when it is t oo late. But Georgia has spoken. —
We bow to the decision, and trust that we may
prevent, at least, a war between our own citi
zens. To this all good men must look, as many
brave, impatient spirits will not submit under
any circumstances.
Letter from Charleston,, .The War.
We are permitted to make theafollowing ex
tract from a private letter dated Dec. 30th, from
Charleston to a friend in this city. The writer
says :
“To-night everything forebodes war. The
military both in the city and on the shore are
on duty and sleep upon their arms. All the Forts
with the exception of Fort in the
possession of our troops. I went
yesterday. All the men appear in fine spirits.—
The Governor has ordered every beat in the State
to be in readiness to march to Charleston in an
haur's notice. In some places the train of cars
are ready, engine and all, to move at the short
est notice. The latest dispatch (public) is from
Gov. Adams at Washington, one of the Commis
sioners to the old Government, whese dispatch
reads as follows:
“Guard entrance to harbor.” “Prepare or has
ten preparation for war.”
Works are being thrown up on Morrison’s
Island, Johnson Island, Sullivan’s Island, Mt.
Pleasant, Ac., at which the soldiers and Minute
Mon are at work day and night. They were at
work the whole day Sunday. The Convention
also satin secret session throughout the day.
Vessels will be sunk iu the channel should a
war vessel or vessels make their appeance off the
bar. Sealed orders have been sent to all the
offioers holding the command of tho different for
tifications. Report says, that a war steamer is
expected here to-night. None of the light
houses are to bo lit, and the buoys, if necessary,
out loose. By doing this and sinking vessels in
the channel, no large vessel can get in. The
Dragoons are riding night and day. The mili
tary are to bo seen marching to and fro, without
music, and tho almost entire neglect of business
betoken war in earnest. I shall, probably, be a
member of tho Washington Artillery, but would
prefer to fight under the flag of tho City Light
Guards, beneath which I have so often marched
in time of peace. It does my heart good to see
that thoy are ready and will bo here at a mo
ment’s warning. jq
Secretary Floyd, in bis letter of resignation
as Secretary of War, says:
I can no longer hold the office under my con
victions of patriotism, nor with honor, subjected,
as I am, to a violation of solemn pledges and
plighted faith.”
This is what we call plain talk.
The Funeral of Mr. Hurt.
Mr. Benjamin K. Hurt who died of diptheria
last Sunday morning was buried yesterday in the
city cemetery. His remains were escorted to the
grave by a longprocessiains f friends and rela
tives, and by the Colum bus Guards, cf which
he was a membor. Mr. Hurt was universally be
loved and respected, and his sudden dceease has
thrown a gloom over the community in which
he was so well known. Being in full health but
a few days ago, it seems hard to realize that he
has passed over the boundary of another world.—
Daily Sun.
Such is life ! No young man began the world
with such prospects of happiness and a long,
useful career as Benjamin Hurt. He graduated
with the highest distinction in his class at the
Nashville University and visited Europe, where
h# prosecuted hi3 studies for eighteen months.
His letters to the Columbus Times from Geneva,
Switzerland, giving an account of the politicul
condition of that country, compare in elegance,
beauty and maturity of thought with any pro
ductions of the kind we ever read. His charac
ter for amiability, gontleness and manliness, bis
stern integrity and fine demeanor, his upright
bearing and strong attachments made him many
warm friends and attached acquaintances in this
community. Bat he has been taken away and
oovered up in ike grave, he has gone to his long
homo, but the memory of his many virtues will
live in the hearts of those, who soon will follow
him. May he sleep sweetly in his tomb and rise
gloriously on the resurrection day ! Farewell! a
sad, long farewell! dear Benny !
The House Committee of i>3.
The New York Herald says : “The retirement
of three or four Southern members from the com
mittee has left it under the control of a Republi
can majority, and as that majority, for the sake
of the party, will be guided by the Chicago plat
form, we can at once appreciate the folly of any
futher continuance of the useless labors of this
special Congressional debating society.”
The view of the New YorJ: Herald: “This
late speech of Mr. Senator Wade is but the echo
of the speeches of Mr. Lincoln upon record.—
They suggest no compromise, no peace, nothing
but disunion and civil war. Thus standing be
fore the country, has Mr. Lincoln resolved in si
lence to await the day of his inauguration ?
That is the question upon which depends the
fate of his administration as well as the restora
tion of the Union.”
The latest intelligence from Mr. Lincoln as we
show on the 23rd instant, proves that he is op
posed to any concession or compromise. What I
wiU the Ifnien men say te that.
Infamous Sentiments of Blaek Republican Leaders.
James S. Pike, the regular correspondent of
the New York Tribune, and of course a most ar
dent Republican, thus pithily expressed his be
lief :*
“I have no doubt that the free and slaye States
ought to separate. The Union is not worth sup
porting in connection with the South.”
Take another gem from the speech; of Ex-
Lieutenant Governor Ford, ©f Ohio, the Black
Republican printer of the House of Represen
tatives : i
“I love the Union, but tho time has come when
we must declare we love freedom better than the
Union.”
We now come to Joshuaß. Giddings, who, in
a letter to the Hon. Ralph Plumb, dated May 1,
1850, was in favor of overthrowing the Govern
ment in case the Supreme Court of Ohio would
not take out of the custody of tho United States,
a band of Black Republicans who had Jj^ibly
taken some fugitive slaves out of the possession
of the marshal and his deputies. Hear him :
I “I have great confidence in the judges com
ijioaing that Court. But should they prove un
equal to the occasion, the case will thejibe taken
to that highest of earthly tribunals, of
all political power. The people finding this
Government to have become ‘destructive of the
lives, the liberties and the happiness of its citi
zens, will alter or abolish it, and organize its
powers in such form as to them shall seem like
ly to effect their safety and happiness.’
duty, so solemnly enjoined upon us by the
founders of our Government, in that immortal
charter of American liberty to which, for almost
a century, we have been accustomed to look for
instruction and direction in regard to our rights,
will not be neglected.”
“Acts speak louder than words,” says the old
proverb. Let us see, then, how their “acts” tal
ly with their words. On the Ist of February,
1850, Senator Hale presented two petitions from
‘lsaac Jeffries and other citizens of Pennsylvania
and John T. Woodward and others, praying that
“somo plan might be devised for the dissolution
of the American Union.” Mr. Webster, of Mas
sachusetts was unsparing in liis denunciation of
the petitions, and suggested that there should
have been a preamble to them.
On the 25th of February, the same petitions
were offered in the House of Representatives by
Joshua R. Giddings, when they received eight
votes, being the abolition vote in that body.
Who, after this, will be so fool-hardy as to de
ny that the Republican party is the disunion party?
It is to this end they have for years schooled and
incited the public mind of the North. It is to
this end they have been fomenting strifes, stirring
up discord, erecting an “irrepressible conflict,”
between the people of both sections. It is to
this end they have been inflaming the Southern
people with their villainous abuse and vitupera
tion. so that their crimination might lead to re
crimination; and bitterness and hatred be ex
changed for fraternal regard and affection. It is
to this end they have been inciting the negroes
of the South to insurrection and rebellion, so as
to keep the Southern people in a state of irritation,
and alarm. It is to this end they sent John
Brown to Harper’s Ferry, to murder defenceless
men and women. It is to this end they got up
their “sympathy” meetings, and sought to deify
this cold-blooded murderer and traitor. The
man must be blind indeed, who does not see, in
all these movements, the bloody and brutal pro
gramme of oivil war, and servile insurrection.

“The Work goes bravely on.”
Throughout the whole Cherokee Georgia, the
feeling in favor of separate State action, in cut
ting loose from the Abolition North, is daily and
hourly growing stronger. In old Cobb, there is
a majority of fifteen to one in favor of immedi
ate secession—in fact there can scarce be found
a man out of Marietta, who is opposed to it. In
every part of the county, public meetings are be
ing constantly held, at which there is nothing
thought of or talked about, but the necesity of
Georgia talking prompt action in vindication of
her rights and honor. Capt. Phillips, Messrs.
A, W. Holcombe, Judge Rice, C. Winn, and
other gentlemen, have taken the field, and are
making speeches to the people. In Milton, For
syth, Campbell, Gwinnett, Cherokee, and Paul
ding, there is a most cheering change going on.
No longer the cowardly cry of submission, or the
timid doctrine of co-operation—equally at vari
ance with the honor of the South—are heard
among the people. On Tuesday, Judge Rice,
Captain Phillips and A. W. Holcombe addressed
a glorious meeting at Alpharetta. On Friday
(to-day) they speak at Dallas. Others are in
the field; and the indications cow are, that the
vote for secession will be overwhelmingly strong
in good old Cherokee.-~ifcrietfa Advocate °,

A Peep into the Bank of England.
The Bank of England must be seen on tho in
side as well as out, and to go into the interior of
this remarkable building, to observe the opera
tions of an institution that exerts more moral and
political power than any sovereign in Europe,
you must have an order from the Governor of
the Bank. The building occupies an irregular
area of eight acres of ground—an edifice of no
architectural beauty, with not ono window to
wards the street, being lighted altogether from
the roof of the enclosed area.
I was led, on presenting my card of admission
into a private room, where, after a delay of a few
moments, a messenger came and conducted me
through the mighty and mysterious building.—
Down we went into a room where the notes of
the bank, received the day before, were now ex
amined, compared with the entries in the book,
and stowed away. The Bank of England never
issues the same note the second time. It receives
in the ordinary course of business about £BOO,OOO,
or 4,000,000, daily in notes; these are put up in
to parcels according to their denominations, box
ed up with the date of their reception, and are
kept ten years; at the expiration of which peri
od they are taken out and ground up in the mill
which I saw running, and made again into paper.
If, in the course of these ten years, any dispute
in business, or law suit should arise concerning
the payment of any note, the bank canproduce
the idential bill.
To meet the demand for notes so constantly
used up, the bank has its own papermakers, its
own printers, its own engravers, all the work un
der the same roof, and it even makes the machine
ry by which the most of its own work is doue s «
A complicated but beautiful operation is a regis
ter, extending from the printing office to tffit,
banking offices, which marks every sheet of paper
that is struck off from the press, so that the prin
ters cannot manufacture a single sheet of biank
notes that is not recorded in the bank.
On the same principle of neatness, a shaft is
made to pass from one apartment to another, con
necting a clock in sixtoen business wings of the
establishment, and regulating them with such
precision that the whole of them are always poin
ting to the same second of time. In another
room was a machine exceedingly simple, for de
tection of light gold coin. A row of them is
dropped one by one upon a "spring scale. If the
piece of gold was of the standard weight, the
scale rose to a certain height, and the coin slid
off upon the side of the box; if less than the
standard* it rose a little higher and the coin slid
off upon the other side. 1 asked the weighers
what was the average number of light coins that
came into his hands, and, strangely enough; he
said it was a question he was not allowed to an
swer.
The next room I entered was that in which the
notes were deposited which are ready for issue.
“We have thirty-two millions of pounds ster
ling in this room.” the officer remarked to me;
“will you take a little of it?” I told him it would
be vastly agreeable, and he handed me a mil
lion sterling which I received with many thanks
for his liberality, but he insisted on my deposi
ting it with him again, as it would hardly be
safe to carry so much money into the street. I
very much fear that I shall never see that money
again. In a vault beneath the door was a di
rector and cashier, counting the bags of gold
which men were pitching down to them,each con
taining a thousand pounds sterling, just from
the mint. This world of money seemed to re
alize the fable of eastern wealth, and gave me
new and strong impressions of the magnitude of
tae business done here, and the extent of the re
lations of this one institution to the commerce of
the world.
Tribute of Respect.
At a meeting of the members of the Sigma Al
pha Epsilon fraternity, in Columbus, on Monday
last, being informed of the death of their brother
and fellow-member, BENJ. 11. HURT, a Com
mittee was appointed to draw up resolutions ex
pressive of the feelings of the fraternity on this
sad event.
Wheras, on the night of the 30th ult., Death,
in one of its worst forms, took away our much
esteemed friend and beloved brother, Benj. 11.
Hurt, it is but due to his memory that we, his
friends and fellow-members, should give some
expression of our esteem for him, and our heart
felt sympathy for his bereavedfriends and family.
Therefore be it.
Resolved, That in his death our katernitj- is
called upon to mourn the loss of one of its mem
bers whose place can never be filled. Possessing
superior intellectual powers, ho blended with
them in perfect harmony those noble qualities
which ever adorn a true gentleman and trust
worthy friend. Having just entered upon the
stage of life, andgiviDg the brightest promise for
future usefulness and honor, we had scarcely
time to wish him success, when his fondest hopes
are blasted as if it were by a breath, and his
brightest anticipations find their end with him in
the grave.
Resolved, That whilst we deeply lament this
sad dispensation of Providence, and would wish
he could have remained longer with us, yet we
will not murmur at the decrees of the Almighty,
but submit with calm resignation to His holy° will,
believing that He direeteth all things for our
good.
Resolved, That though we sympathize greatly
with his relatives, we can only point them to the
Saviour, who alone can heal the broken heart
and speak peace to the troubled soul.
For although from our midst he's gene,
His memory ever dear well keep—
Saying, although his spirit has flown.
Our brother is not dead—but sleeps.
Resolved, Thai a copy of these resolutions be
sent to the city papers for publication, and a
manuscript copy to the family of the deceased.
