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. GENERAL ORDERS.) No. 1.
