Fort PuUski ia the hands of Georgia,,.Gov. Brown’s
Goad act.
The intelligence from Savannah, published in
our yesterday’s issuo loaves no room to doubt
that Fort Pulaski is now garrisoned by Georgia
troops. This is an important position, and we
regard the movement in taking it as the grande},
which has occurred on the theatre of recenteventss
The course of the submission press in Georgia,
following tho lead of a few of her public men, has
without design, created the impression in the
North that Georgia would embrace any fate
rather than sever her political connection with
abolitionists. Her position in tho present crisis,
has been looked to with far greater interest than
that of any other Southern State, and her past
record in favor of the Union has been relied on
by the foes of socession and the advocates of co
ercion as a basis for tho hope that her Convention
would declara for Union and infamy. This hope
is now obliterated. Gov. Brown has taken a
position in which he will bo triumphantly sus
tained by the people of Georgia, and for which
he deserves thoir plaudits, lie will probably re
ceive censuro from thoso who aro willing to sur
render life, liberty and honor for tho boon of
dragging out a wretched existenso under the
vulgar and degrading bondage of an abolition
mob, but the great popular heart of Georgia will
cheer him for his prudent foresight and his bold
conduct. The act was demanded by tho first
and highest law of nature —self-protection. The
administration had proven itself to be too vacil
lating and too faithless towards South Carolina,
for Georgia to ask of it, or roposo confidence in
its pledges, Tho President feels under an obli
gation to take care of tho United States; Gov.
Brown rests under an obligation, equals impera
tive to take care of this old Commonwealth, and
to see to it that her interests and hor honor re
ceive no detriment. His conduct has demon
strated that, in its fullest measuro ho appreciates
the trust, and Georgians, whether vassal or free,
will bestow, without stint, thoir gratitude upon
him. But vassals they will never be.
Communicated.
Messrs. Editors ; If tho citizens of Muscogee
have not been misled, our Senator, Col. Holt, ac
cepted the nomination for tho Convention, with
the view of ascertaining whether he represented
tho sentiments of tho people of the county in the
Legislature. We have boon led to believe that
ho disregarded tho instructions of a large and
unanimous public mooting, because he believed
that said mooting did not express tho views of a
majority of his constituents. All doubts upon the
subject must havo been removed by the result on
Wednesday, when out of a small vote he was
defeated by five hundred majority. We confi
dently expect that, after this unmistakable evi
dence of public sentiment, tho Colonel will, as an
honest unit a modest man, n<*t longer misrepre
sent us, but will, in accordance with his uniform
propriety of conduct, resign, and let us send sonic
one to ttio Senate who will reflect our views.
VOTER.
Public Dinner Tendered. —Several citizens
of Richmond, Virginia, havo invited the South
Carolina delegation to tho liouso of Representa
tives to a dinner in Richmond in honor of tho
position of South Carolina. General McQueen
wrote a reply for himself and two of his col
leagues, giving the reasons why tho invitation
could not be accepted, and closed thus :
“We, of South Carolina, hope soon to greet
you in a Southern Confederacy, where white men
shall rule our destinies, and from which we may
transmit to our posterity the rights, privileges
and honor left us by our ancestors.”
Contention of South Carolina.
The President read tho following communica
tion :
To tho Honorable the President and Members
of tho Convention of the Independent State of
South Carolina:
Gentlemen : I am to-night informed that a res
olution was this day adopted, inviting me to a
seat on the floor of your Convention. For the
complimont thus paid my State, in my person,
please accept my grateful acknowledgements. I
regret that engagements elsewhere imperatively
forbid the erjojment of your pro tiered courtesy.
Intelligence received to-night makes “assur
ance doubly sure” that Alabama stands by the
side of South Carolina, prepared to ehare with
her a common destiny.
Information obtained on diligent inquiry in the
last few days justifies me in saying that tho gal
lant sons of North Carolina and Virginia are
now ready to rally around the standard of South
ern rights and honor, which you have so glori
ously reared, and that those two States will also
be members, in all probability, of the groat South
ern Confederacy by the 4th of next March. The
othor slave States must sooner or later take tho
same courso, or be involved in inevitable ruin.—
To tho bold, deliberate and decisive action of your
body are the pooplo of the South indebted for the
great movement which must end in tho vindica
tion of their rights—and tho future historian
must award to South Carolina the honor of lead
ership in carrying out the measures destined to
release them from tho wrongs and oppressions
under which they havo so long and so patiently
suffered. 1. W. GARROTT
Charleston, Dec. 20, ISBO.
Mr. lthett moved to print tho communication
in the Journal of to day’s proceedings. Agreed
to.
From the Savannah Republican.
Occupation of Forf Pulaski.
Out city for some days past has been the the
atre of great and continuous excitement. The
military movements of Major Anderson in the
Forts near Charleston, the changes and rumors
of changes in the Cabinet at Washington conse
quent thereon, tho conrse of policy indicated by
tho President in the appointment of Mr. Holt to
tho Secretaryship of War—all have furnished
topics of very serious discussion, and hare crea
ted impulses to action in the bosoms of our peo- i
pie, almost irresistible.
There can be no question that, bad not the
telegraphic wire brought rapid intelligence of
the denial by the President that the movements
of Maj. Anderson had been made in accordance
with directions from head quarters, the forts in
the vicinity of Savannah would have been seiz
ed by a spontaneous movement of our people, as
against Federal troops, to the very last extrem
ity.)
Nothing can be more abhorrent to the hearts
of our people, nothing more shocking to their
sense of justice, nothing more indicative to them
of a determination on tho part of of Federal pow
er to grind them down into the dust by any
and all agencies, then the idea of perverting for
tifications erected upon soil ceded by the sover
eign State of Georgia to the General Government
for a specific purpose, that purpose being the
protection of her material interests against for
eign aggression, into instruments of police co
ercion, to subject her people to a rule which thoy
may of right repudiate.
Whan, therefore, by the course pursued by
the General Government towards South Carolina
culminating in the forced withdrawal of Govern
or Floyd, known to be opposed to the principle
of coercion, from the War ‘Department,: and the
appointment of Mr. Holt, equally well under
stood to be r xvorablo to a ooercive policy, the
future action of the United States Govcrment
had been clearly foreshadowed, publio excite
ment was once again aroused to a very high
point, and but for the anticipated arrival of Gov
ernor Brown in our city, an irregular movement
Oi tfie people would have been inevitable.
Wo are now highly gratified to state, that the
Governor has determined to take possession of
the fortifications commanding our river and
harbor. The wisdom of this policy seems to us
beyond all question. In view of all our sur
rounding circumstances, the Federal Govern
ment has forced it upon him, leaving him no
other course to pursue.
However much all may regret the complication
created by the ill-advised movement of Major
Anderson, nevertheless the speedy withdrawal of
the troops from Fort Sumter might have meas
urably relieved it, and given tranquility to the
Southern mind.
Assuredly there had been nothing precipitate,
nothing savoring of impatience, in the action of
South Carolina—on the contrary, while in her
view of existing relations, it had become obliga
tory upon the United States Government to
withdraw, at the earliest practicable moment,
Federal troops from her soil, yet she had provok
ed no hostilo demonstrations against her, of a
military character. That demonstration has
been made. It has not been repudiated; so far
from it, tho result show3 that after long delibera
tion, it has been affirmed, and the policy of co
ercion, through the agency, not only of Federal
troops, but of fortifications ceded by sovereign
States, for widely other purposes, has been
clearly adopted, and men placed in power to car
ry it into execution.
The Federal Government has thus, by its own
acts, placed us at the turning point of the pres
ent political crisis. The right of secession on the
part of a State, as against tho right of coercion
on tho part of the United States Government, is
the issuo unnecessarily and aggressively precipi
tated upon tho South.
Nothing, therefore, remained for our Governor
to do, save to guard, so far as might lie in his
power, against the possibility of the same results
in tho future, as regards Georgia, which have
been developed in the pa3t, as regards South
Carolina.
Until the Convention shall assemble, which is
to decide upon the practical question of socession,
we understand it to be his intention to hold Fort
I’ulaski, not in any wiso to provoke attack from
tho Federal Government, but to guard against
the loss of life which may bo necessary to its ro
capturo, in case the same highly reprehensible
policy should be puisued towards Georgia, which
has already been pursued towards South Caro
lina.
There is no division of opinion in our com
munity as to tho wisdom of his policy. Ho will
bo sustained enthusiastically to the fullest extent,
at all hazard and any sacrifice.
Sumner and Hickman Denounce Compro
mise—Hon. Cnarles Sumner,Massachusetts, was
serenaded in Philadelphia on Wednesday eve
. ning after delivering a lecture. He responded by
declaring that the last election decided that the
Territories should bo forever free. He was op
posed to making any moro compromises; and he
thought the people were also. All that is needed
now, is firmness and prudence; be thought' the
party would iu future show the same firmness as
they had at the ballot-dox [Applause]
lion John Hickman also spoke as follows:
I never was a compromise man, nor am I one
now. [Applause.] It is no use for tho north to
compromise; it is not safe. There is an eternal
antagonism between freedom and slavery, and
it must be met now, and the interest of the
white men should not be forgotten, so far as his
vote is concerned. I want to know if the Gov
ernment is worth anything. Ido not think my
people want mo to compromise their interests,
and if they do I will not do it. [Cries of ‘good.’]
Every Compromise that has been made has
been violated by the South. There is an eternal
antagonism that must bo settled, and we may as
well have it settled now as at any other time.—
[Applause.]
Capt. Phelps, of the United States army, fol
lowed in somo remarks. He announced his wil
lingness to enrol a regiment of volunteers in
Chester county, Pa. if the peoplo wished it, ,to
he placed at the disposition of the sovereign of
the United States, tor the preservation of tho
Union and the Constitution, and he cared not
whether it jwas James Buchanan or Abraham
Lincoln.
Interesting concerning Fort Sumter.—
The following from tho Charleston Mercury will
be interesting to «ur readers.
Tho force now remaining in Fort Sumter con
sists of about one hundred and thirty men, fifty
of whom are labors, and the rest troops belong
ing to the artillery branch of the Unitod States
service. These latter aro sufficient to man about
one half the guns of tho fort, supposing the guns
were all mounted. Fortunately, however, this
is far from being the case. Out |of seventy-five
pieces of heavy ordnance now in the fort only
eleven arc fully mounted. These arc all case
mate guns iu the lower tier, and include the
, nineguns of that face of tho fortress fronting
towards Sullivan’s island. Two more of these
easemato guns were nearly mounted on Friday
evening, but the work of getting them in posi
tion is necessarily slow and tedious, and with
tho force now at work, it is impossible to mount
more than three guns per day at the utmost. —
The heaviest guns, too, which are the ten inch
Columbiads, have yet to bo mounted. One of
the casemate guns at one of the angles of the
wall has been placed imposition so as to cover
Castle Pinckney. The garrison were on Friday
evening getting ready to mount some of the
casemate guns on the south eido of the walls.
Besides these heavy pieces, four of the lighter
barbette guns aro mounted upon the ramparts,
pointing towards Morris’ Island. These are so
arranged upon pivot carriages as tc sweep round
the whole horizon. Tho magazine of the for
tress is well stocked with an immense quantity
of grape, canister and shells, and about seven
hundred barrels of powder. All the small
arms and stores of Fort Moultrie have been
transferred with the garrison, and there is suffi
cient accumulation of provisions to last, in c ase
of necessity for six months at least. Four large
cisterns contain an ample supply of fresh wa
ter, but it is now understood that Fort Sumter
has no fuel to spare. The rumor current in*the
city that a number of the guns in Fort Sumter,
which are not yet mounted, had been spiked by
the Southern workmen, is without foundation.

Lincolu’s Views
♦
I cannot resist the conviction that the passage
of the secession ordinance by tho South Carolina
Convention has, instead of intimidating the Pres
ident elect, only made him firmer and more deci
ded in his views on the reckless and unjustifia
ble attempt to break up the Union. lie will not
swerve from the conscientious and rigorous ful
fillmont of what he considers his' constitutional
obligations, lest certain consequences might oc
cur. He will not, like his predecessor, give way
to unmanly terror and childish despair, should
events demand prompt and vigorous action.—
And that he will be called upon to strike, I be
lieve, appears from hour to hour more certain to
him.
There aro so many similarities and identities
between the ideas embodied in oenatcr Wade’s
last speech and thoso freque. .1/ expressed by
Lincoln, that I am almost inclined to think that
old Ben spoke by inspiration.
I do not think tho term “organ,” in its usual
interpretation, properly indicates the relations of
the Daily State Journal of this place to the Pres
ident elect. It should not be looked upon as a
trumpet by dint of which Mr. Lincoln daily pro
claims all his ideas, opinions, plans, Ac., Ac., to
the general public. Nor does he solicit or direct
the editor to embody certain views in certain arti
cles on certain occasions. But, on the other hand,
it would be absurd to presume that a paper devo
ted for many years to the futherance of his polit
ical fortunes, recognized as tho central organ of
the Republican party of his own State, owned and
edited by his kinsman, with whom his intercourse
is most constant and intimate, should say aught
contrary to his sentiments.
The position of the New York Tribune, rela
tive to the right to secede, does not find much fa
vor with the Republicans cut hero. It is uni
versally pronounced untenable. lam all but cer
tain that Mr. Lincoln himself pronounces it dan
gerous and illogical.
It is stated that Mr. T incola is daily receiving
large numbers of letters from prominent men of
all tho free States urging him to stand squarely
and firmly on tho Chicago platform, and not
budge an inch.
THE RAIN.
Into the dusty city comes tho rain— .*
The pure, the beautiful, the pearly shower;
The dusty street is cool and smiles again,
And freshness comes to many a drooping flower.
Upon the country comes the rain :
Generous it falls, a blessing from tho Giver;
The little rills will form their golden ehain,
And chase their songs into the flowing river.
Happy to childhood comes the rain,
Pure as its innocence, bright as its gleo,
Touches the flowers with its light brush again,
Brightens their colors with its witchery.
Unto tho mourner comes the rate;
It is the pearly tears by nature given ;
Its pattings siDg a gentle, soothing strain ;
It tells of the departed and of heaven.
Unto the sick man comes tho rain,
Moist to her brow and cooling to his fever,
Blunts the sharp edge oftnany a crushing pain,
Whispers of hope, and of a bright forever.
Come to my weary heart, sweet rain !
With thy cool drops wash care away,
And let tho rainbow of bright hope again
Follow thy shower with sunbeams’ cheering ray.
Tell me, sweet rain, of friendships bright as
shower ;
Tho’ they have past they yet are dear to me ;
As perfumes sweeter come from bruised flowers,
And olden harps yield sweeter minstrelsy.
