Thoso in italics were run on the co-operati n
ticket, but we have every confidence in the fideli
ty of Mr. Flewellon to his State, and judge from
his recent card that he will go with the immedi*
ate secessionists in the Convention. In fact both
tickets declared for immediate secession previous
to the election.
"All Smoko.,.No Fire.”
The Enquirer ridicules the idea of a collision
between the General Government and Carolina,
ana laughs at the ladies of Charleston for pre
paring lint and bandages. Oh, no ! there is no
danger of collision—none at all! It is all hum
bug ! South Carolina is not out of the Union !
She has her own forts in the possession of her
troops! No Commissioners have gone on to
Washington. The Secretary of War, Mr. Floyd,
is alarmed for nothing, and resigned his office
for fun ! The steamer Harriet Lane would nevor
carry secret orders and reinforcements to Maj.
Anderson ! Oh, no! the whole thing is “smoke.”
Carolina is beside herself, and—the people of
Muscogee too—by about five hur.dred majority—
that’s all !
JSSt* Mississippi goes out of the Union next
week. Two-thirds of her delegates are for im
mediate secession. Her freedom is a fixed fact.
Georgia must follow her! Co-operate with her
aad South Carolina and Alabama and Florida.
Charlhstok, Jan. 2.—The following gentle
men have been appointed as commissioners to the
slavoholding States : to Alabama, A. P. Calhoun;
Texas, John McQueen ; Georgia, James L. Orr .
Mississippi, Armistead Buist; Louisiona, John
L. Manaing; Florida, L. W. Spratt; Arkansas*
Spain.
Alabama for Secession Certain.
All the Counties, but one, are heard from in
Alabama and the list of delegates published. It
is now considered certain that the delegates stand
as follows :
For Secession, 58.
For Co-operation, 41.
The county of St. Clair, entitled to one vote, to
hear from.
The Secessionists claim that several candi
dates elected on the co-operation ticket will vote
for secession in the Convention. Recent de
velopments have convinced them that there is no
hope for security and peace in the Union.
There is no doubt in our mind that Alabama
will, immediately upon the assembling of the
Convention, secede.
Next Monday, the 7th, will decide the question
and that forever.
Correspondence between President Buciiaun and Secre
tary John B. Floyd.
The following is an authentic copy of the cor
respondence between Ex-Secretary Floyd and
Mr. Buchanan. It will be highly interesting to
our readers, as giving an insight i..to the way
the break up occurred:
Secretary Floyi'e Le ter < f Resignation.
War Department, Dec. 27 IS6O.
Sir: Oa the morning ot the 27:h inst., I read
the following paper to you in the presence of the
Cabinet m ili«. C-iuucil Ch uuber or the Executive
Mansion:
"oik • It is evident now, from the action of the
of the commander of Fort Moultrie, that the
solemn pledges o. the Government have been
violated by Majnr Anderson. lu my judgment
but one remedy is nowleft us, by which to vindi
cate our nonor, and prevent civil war. It is in
vaiu now to hope for confidence on the part of
the people of South t aroiiuu in any further
pledges as to the action f the military. One
remedy only is left, and it is to withdraw the
garrison irorn the harbor of Charleston aitogeter.
1 hope the President will allow me to make that
order at once. This order, in my judgment, can
alone prevent bloodshed and civil wax
JOHN B. FLOYD,
Secretary of War.
To the President,
I then consider the honor of the Administra
lon pledged to maintain the troops in the posi-
tion they occupied, for such had b j en the assu
rance given to gentlemen of South Carolina, who
had the right to speak for her. South Carolina;
on theother band, gave reciprocal pledges that
no force should be brought by them against the
troops, or against the property of the United
States. The sole object of both parties to these
reciprocal pledge* was to prevent a collision and
the effusion of blood, in the hope that some means
might be found for a peaceful accommodation of
existing troubles—the two Houses of Congress
having both ra sed Committees looking to that
object. Thus affairs stood until Major Anderson’s
step, unfortunately taken, while Congress was
striving—while Commissioners were on their way
to this Capitol on a peaceful commission, looking
ro the avoid nee of bloodshed—has complicated
matters in the existing manner. Our refusal, or
even our delay to place affairs back as they
stood under our agreement, invites a collision,
and must inevitably inaugurate civil war. I
cannot consent to be the agent of such a calami
ty. I deeply regret feel myself under the ne
cessity of tendering to you my resign itien as
Secretary of War, because I can no longer bold
the office under my corvictions of patriotism, nor
with honor, subjected, as I am, to a violation of
solemn pledges and plighted faith.
With ths highest personal regard,
I am most truly yours,
[Signed] JOHN B. FLOYD.
To His Excellency, the President of the United
States.
The President’s Reply.
W ashington, Dec. 31, 1880.
Mr Dear Sir: I have received and accepted
four resignation of the < ffice of Secretary of War,
and not wi hing to impose upon you the task of
performing its mere routine duties, which you so
kindly offered to do, I have authorized Postmas
ter General Holt to administer the affairs of the
Department until your successor shall be ap
pointed.
Yourii, very respectfully,
[Signed] JAMES BUCHANAN.
To the Hon. John B Floyd.
AFFAIRS IN SAVANNAH.
FORT PULASKI TAKEN BY THE STATE.
We have been absent from our post for a few
weeks enjoying a short respite from our ardu
ous labors, and on cur return yesterday, we
found the entire city in commotion and laboring
under the intenscst excitement. Crowds were
collected at every corner, and pressing around
the bulletin boards with eagerness to read the la
test news. This excitement was created by the
despatches from Washington, which will be found
in our columns, and especially that from Senator
Toombs, who stands as a sentinel upon the tow
er, for this State at least, and pledges his charac
ter and fame for the truth of his statements and
the soundness of his opinions. The ordering of
the Harriet Lane to Charleston with sealed pa
pers, (which, by tho way, is positively contra die
ted by a subsequent despatch) the determination
of the Federal Administration to coerce all sece
ding States by force of arms, and the appoint
ment of Mr. Holt, who, though a southern man,
Mr. Toombs assures us is “our bitter enemy,”
were the immediate eause of commotion, so far
as we could comprehend it in the confusion that
reigned.
me second feature of interest was the arrival
of Governor Brown on Tuesday night, accom
panied by the Adjutant General of the State.—
After due'consultition yesterday, it was deter
mined by His Excellency to take immediate pos
session of Fort Pulaski, on Coekspur Island,
near the mouth of tho river. For this end de
tachment of fifty men, each, exclusive of officers,
from the Chatham Artillery, Savannah Volun
teer Guards and Oglethorpe Light Infantry—
-150 in all—were ordered to enter upon the work
of preparation forthwith and be ready to embark
for the fort this morning. It is understoed that
the battalion is to be under command of Capt.
F S. Bartow, of the Oglethorpes.
In addition to the dispatches communicated
we learn that others, of a private nature, were
received by Gov. Brown, corroborating the state
ments of Mr Toombs in every particular. We
give full faith and credit to this information, for
we are unwilling to believe that the Governor
would take so responsible a step without a full as
surance of the entire correctness of tho infor
mation upon which he acted.
Tho following statement of facts has been fur
nished to us by two highly respectable and lead
ing citizens, who are presumed to be fully ac
quainted of the views of the Governor as wjyjms
fami’ar with all the circumstances coiSJßeii
with the transaction. -v 7 -'
We would only add our conviction, from all we
can learn, that the motive which led to the move
ment was of a peaceful and not of a hostile and
aggressive character:
WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.
Augusta, Jan. 2, 1861.
The True Democrat, has received a dispatch
from the Hon. Robert Toombs saying:
“The Cabinet is broken up. Secretaries Floyd
and Thompson both withdrawn. The coercive
policy has been adopted by the administration,
and Holt, our bitter foe, is Secretary of War.
“Fort Pulaski is in danger. The Abolition
ist are defiaot.”
Signed, ROBERT TOOMBS.
Washington, Jan. 2, 1861.
It is not true, as reported, that Senator Seward
intends to either subm’> a proposition on the
present crisis, or speak upon the subject.
Private accounts received here from Charle ton
state that one thousand negroes were employed in
fortifying the harbor and obstructing the chan
nels by sinking vessels, and that the buoys had
been removed a’id lights extinguished.
Tho President nominated to the Senate, to-day
for confirmation, Wm. McPherson, of Pennsylva
nia, as Collector of the port of Charleston. The
Democrats voted against going into secret ses
sion on the subject, and consequently none was
held. Great importance is attached to this nomi
nation, but it is doubtful whether it will be con
firmed.
The Post Office Department has cancelled the
mail contract with the Isabel steamship company,
from Charleston to Key West. No reliable cause
is assigned for this act.
ANOTHER COMMITTEE ON THE CRISIS.
Washington, Jan. 2. —The following is the com
mittee of one from each State, appointed by
the members so Congress from the’border States
last week, to prepare a report on the crisis;
they will hold their t first meeting to morrow
morning: Crittenden, of Kentucky, chairman!
Harris, of Maryland; herman,of Ohio, Nixon
of N J.; Saulsbury of Del.; Gilmer of N. C.; Ha
ton of Tenn.: Pettitt of lud.; Harris ofVa.; Me
demand of 111.; Barrett of Mo.; Sebastian of
Ark.; Vandtrveer, of lowa, and Hale of Penn.
Public Sentiment in Louisiana. —lt may
and doubtless must appear singular to many
persons, says the New Orleans Bee of a re ent
date, that so extraordinary and rapid a change
of sentiment in regard to the Union should have
taken place in a city as proverbial for its staunch
nationality as was wont to be New Orleans. But
we here have simply been subjected to the same
wonderful transformation which is visible all
over the South.
At this period it is entirely safe to declare that
there exists no Union party in Louisiana, and
that New Orleans, formerly the most conserva
tive portion of the State, is now the hoi-bed. of
secession.
The New Orleans Bulletin says that all of its
exchanges throughout the State, are devoting
themselves to the discussion of the mode of resis
tance, and to the publication of the proceedings
of public meetings. Not the faintest note of
submission is heard.
Postal Arrangements.— The following Ordi
nance has been passed and ratified by the Con
vention, and is now in force in and fer the State
of South Carolina:
AN ORDINANCE TO MAKE PROVISIONAL AR
RANGEMENTS IN 80CTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, The State of South Carolina owes it
to her own citizens, and to those of other States,
that, as one of the contracting parties, she should
not prevent or interrupt the performance of the
pending contract for carrying ami delivering of
the mails made by the United States while South
Carolina was one of said S ates: *
We, the State of South Carolina, in convention
assembled, do declare and ordain, and it is here
by declared and ordainod, that the existing postal
contracts arrangements shall be continued, and
the persons charged with the duties thereof, shall
continue to discharge said duties until a postal
treaty or treaties shall be conceded, or until oth
erwise ordered by this convention.
Sentiment in New Orleans. —The following
resolu'ions offered by J. D. B. Deßow, Esq., were
enthusiastically received and adopted at the late
Southern Rights meeting in New Orleans:
Resolved, That the people of Louisiana tender
to their brothers of South Caroli a congratulation
and God speed in the glorious career upon which
they have ent red ami in hailing their uoble
State as anew and independent power, send her
this word from the commercial emporium of the
South:
“ We are patriots, treed’ng fast in yonr honored
steps and shall co-operate speedily with you in
budding up anew confederation wh<ch shall
bring us safety and honor from the crumbling
material'; of tho old one which now seeks to
degrade, dishonor, and oppress us when we have
seceded from it and can meet you as only sov
ereign can meet a sovereign.”
Resolved, That the guns of old Fort*Moultrie
and those of the plains of Chalmette, which spoke
so eloquently in 1776 and 1815 in behalf of
liberty and independence will speak again louder
and deeper and in unison should the integrity
of Southern soil be menaced.
Resolved, That, as Napoleon said of the Em
pire, that*Confederation of the South is peace—
peace by every exertion, of moderation, for
bearance, and patriotism; peace until the last
resources of argument are exhausted; br,t come
unhappily the other alternative, of which there
are at times threats, it will not find umprepared
a people
“ who know their rights,
And, knowing, dare maintain.”
AoAir st War and Re-infoi?cemkxt.—Speak
ing of South Carolina and coercion, Mr. Pugh,
Senator from Ohio, says:
“I apprehend no attack at present, unless ad
ditional troops be ordered thither; and, rather
than do that, as an act of mercy to the officers
and soldiers now stationed at Charleston, I would
have them withdrawn. God forbid that the
glories of Fort Moultrie, won from the British
fleet and army in 1776, should ever be washed
away in the blood of our own soldiers and citi
zens! We are magnanimous enough, I hope, if
we must have war with South Carolina, not to
point the guns of any fortress erected for the
defence of Charleston harbor against foreign
enemies, into the streets of the city before which
they stand.”
Senator Aedrew Johnson. —Upon the burn
ing in effigy of this gentleman by the people of
Memphis, the Nashville Union and American re
marks :
“While we are not prepared to sanction this
mode of expressing disapprobation of so odious
and mischievous a doctrine, nor in the present
instance to condemn it, yet we would commend
this proceeding to his attention, as an unerring
indication of the popular sentiment of Tennessee
on this subject, assuring him that ‘‘'the telegraph
has correctly reported him, he has committed a
most fatal blunder that must consign hiu. to
merited obloquy, and deprive him forever of the
confidence and respect of his constituents. We
can furthermore assure him that we do not be
lieve there is one in a thousand of the citizens of
our chivalrous State t at will adopt tho despotic
and infamous doctrine of coercion—a doctrine
repugnant to all the feelings of freemen, and to
every principle of republican liberty.”
Senator Pugh on Coercion op S. C.—Sena
tor Pugh thus speaks iu the Senate of the U. S.
in relation to tho coercion of South Carolina:
“Wny should we not avoid war, if possible,
with the authorities and people of South Caro
lina? “Oh!" some objeetor will say, “we must
collect the revenue." Yes; sir, men who care
nothing whether the mails are or are not carried
—whether justieo be administered in the Feder
al Courts or not; whether the people cf South
Carolina have any representation in Congress
or any other advantage from the Government,
insist, vigorously, and at oil events, (most sac
red constitutional vindication) that we shall
make as much money from those people, levy
as much tribute on them as possible. Well,
suppose that we conquer them, all of thorn; dis
perse the Convention and the Legislature by
arms; execute as traitor- all the officers of the
State; is that maintaing the Union? The Sena
tor from Tennessee appeared to think so yester
day, if I rightly understood his speech. I think
not. I think the Union would at once and ne
cessarily be destroyed. We should have so
much territory from the Atlantic ocean to the
Savannah river as our conquered province; we
we should have so many prisoners, and if we
spared their lives, so many helpless subjects; but
weshou’d nav certainly overthrown the Gov
ernment of the State, and South Caroliua would
be no more. We might erect some false image,
instead of the State so demolished; but our eon
federate —our sister—is dead."
A Glorious Result ! — Mississippi straight
out for Secession. —We have received sufficient to
show that Mississppi has gone by an overwhelm
ing majority for secession. Out of ninety
nine delegates to the Convention only fourteen or
fifteen Union-resistance members have been
elected. Our State has done well but we would
have been better pleased if the election had been
unanimous in our favor—a result we had good
reasons to expect.— Yazoo Democrat {Miss.)
It is said that the new Houses of Parliament
in England, which are built of magnesian lime
stone, are already crumbling into decay.
