Georgia Delegation to Southern Congres*.
The delegates from Georgia to the Southern
Congress, to assemble in Montgomery on the Jth
of March, are able and patriotic men—men of
position and character. Hon. p i0 > jcr t Toombs
and Hon. Howell Cobb from the State at L& 1 °
have a national reputation. They do honor to
any people. Hon. Francis S. Bartow, from the
Ist District, is an able lawyer and an eloquent
debater—has been a candidate for Congress sev
eral times, and though defeated, has always borne
himself gallantly. He supported Mr. Breckin
ridge during the last election, and is the present
secession delegate from the county of Cuatham
in the State Convention.
Hon. Martin J. Crawford is the Representative
of the 2d District, and bas been in the Congress
of the United States for three terms. He was
the leading member from Georgia in the old Union
and will make his mark in the Convention. Was
a supporter of Mr. Breckinridge and a strong se
cessionist.
lion. Benjamin JJ. Hill was the idol of the op
position party in Georgia before old party lines
were dissolved, and is a man of fine talent3. lie
represents the 4th District. He fought the last
light in the Union under the co-operation banner,
but with a commendable patriotism, voted for the
Ordinance of Secession, and declared his fortunes
linked with those of his follow men of his native
Stato.
Hon. Eagenius A. Nisbot is the delegate from
the 3d District. Ho was a supporter of Mr.
Douglas, and elected on the secession ticket to
the Slate Convention from the county of Bibb.—
Has been in the Congress of the old Union and
•ludge of the Supreme Court of Georgia. Has the
reputation of a man of fine legal attainments,

is spoken of as a man of eloquence.
The 6th District is ably represented in the per
son of Hon. Thomas It. R. Cobb, ono of the most
patriotic, distinguished and eloquent men in the
State. He has never aspired to anypositiou in poli
tics, though looked to as a leading lawyer. Ho was
a supporter of Mr. Brcokinridge, and his whole
heart was enlisted in the secession cause. lie
will give eclat to any people who may honor him
with position.
Hon. A. H. Kenan is from the 9th District, lie
was a leading Bell man in the State and a co
operationist. Has frequently represented EaM
win in tho Stato Legislature, where he took a
high position.
In the Sth District, Hon. Alexander 11. Sto»
phens is the Representative. lie is known to
the wholo country.
Commissioner from Georgia,,.Hon. Alfred Iverson,
It ie altogether probable that the Convention
of this State will follow the example of tho Con
ventions of Alabama and Florida and appoint a
commissioner to the Federal Government at
Washington. If this course shall be determined
upon, the election of a proper man to fill the
office w’U be the next subject for consideration.
In tho delegation from this Stato to the Conven
tion of the Seceding States, at Montgomery, the
name of the Hon. Alfred Iverson does notap
pear. Able and true men, however, have been se
lected, and as Georgia was entitled to only ten
delegates, it was impossible for her to give that
position to all of her favorite sons. In the elec
tion of commissioner, tho Convention will have
an opportunity to signify its appreciation of tho
ability and patriotism of our late Senator in the
Federal Congress—lion. Alfred Iverson. With
out disparagement to any we can safely say that
no man has exhibited greater fidelity to the hon
or and rights of Georgia than be. He was the first
in public station to declare that the election of a
Black Republican should call the Southern States
iuto council and would justify their withdrawal
from the Union. Since that [election his voice
has been for the Independence of Georgia, and,
just as she starts out upon hei new course, it is
eminently fit that she should give this testimo
nial of her confidence and gratitudo to one who
has stood among the foremost of her sons in the
tight which has ended.
In the Southern Congress it will be seen that
Georgia is ably and well represented. That, ac
cording to old party divisions, now blolted out
and forgotten, there are five Breckinridge men,
three Douglas and two 801 l men. Six secession
ists and four co operationists. While thus class
ifying them for tho benefit of our readers, it must
not be understood that they are now divided in
sentiment or opinion, but, on the contrary, have
laid down prejudices and passions upon tho altar
of a ecjrmon union and a common safety, and
are all now secessionists. Georgia has spoken
by an overwhelming popular majority for seces
sion, and our public men abide the will and de
cision of the people. Georgia is sovereign and
free, and our delegates will represent her with fi
delity, with honor and with ability.
Three cheers to a Southern Confederacy, and
the unity of feeling of the'people of the Empire
State.
are permitted to publish the follow
ing letter from Senator Iverson:
Washington, Jan. 21.
Nothing new of any particular interest has
oeeurred here for several days, except the for
mal and solemn withdrawal of six Senators to
day—Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. It was
a solemn and impressing tcene, and yet most of
the Republican members wore reading their
newspapers, or writing or talking, as if nothing
was occurring. It is a strange thing that the
Northern men cannot or will not realize that the
South is yet in earnest. I had some conversa
tion to-day with Douglas, and he treated our
movements with a most extraordinary levity.
The leaders now say that they will pass a law
soon, abloishing all our ports of entry i&d cus
tom houses, and station a ship of War at each
port to prevent theingres3 and egress of foreign
ships. This would be war, and I have my doubts
whether they will do it. The Northern Deme
cratsare falling rapidly into the non-coercion
line, and If we can avert any bloodshed until our
Confederation is formed, there is hept that ne tf
ereion will be attempted.
*oon as 1 receive an authentic notification
of oi ix Ordinance, I shall make my P. P, C. to the
Ser, ate and go home. Benjamin and Slidell,
Hemphill and Wigfall will soon follow. All
those with whom I converse from Virginia, say
that her people are ahead of the Legislature, and
that tha Convention wilUceriainly secede. If she
goes out, there will be no further trouble inform
ing oux Confederacy. I learn to-day that Col.
Haynehasnot presented hi* {proposition te the
President. His policy is to delay and gain time,
so as not to precipitate any collision at Charles
ton until our Provisional Government is formed.
Cos). Davis is the mao genera-ly indicated ber*
for our first President. He leaves to-morrow for
Mississippi. He is in bad health, but improving.
He is a noVjle and able man. and in all respects
madeffor'the crisis.

PENSACOLA CORRESPONDENCE.
January 18 th, 1861.
Messrs. Editors : Thinking that perhaps a
few items from the “seat of war” at Pensacola
might bo interesting to the readers of the Times,
I have concluded to give you a brief statement
of affairs as they stand at the Navy Yard, and
thereabouts.
In obedience to a request from Gov. Perry of
Florida, the Gov. of Alabama, on the 10th inst.,
ordered Col. Tennent Lomax, of the second Regi
ment of Alabama Volunteers, to have a portion
of his troops in roadiness to march immediately
to Pensacola. The ordor was received and obey
ed with alacrity by officers and men, and on
Wednesday evening, five companies, comprising
two hundred and forty muskets under the com
mand of Col. Lomax, departed in a speeial train
for Pensacola. Having seen tho elephant, I can
give you aa authentic account cf all that, after
that, happened to the "bold sogers.” At 2A. M,
we reached Garland, the Southern terminus of the
Northern end of tho Montgomery and Florida
Railroad. Remaining in the car3 until daylight,
we moved out and cowmonced preparations for
tho morning meal, preparatory to a march from
Garland to the terminus of tho Southern end of
the railroad. When we found that owing to the
admirable mismanagement of those whose duty
it was to make proper provisions for the comfort
of the troops, there wasjust enough bacon (spoil
ed bacon at that) to do two companies, and
bread to satisfy ono. The soldiers moved on,
however, on their weary tramp, and over roads
that are perhaps unequalled for depth and fluidi
ty, and made a march of eighteen miles, halting
for the night at Evergreen, in Conecuh county,
Ala. Here they were well received and hospit
ably entertained by tho good citizens of the vil
lage, and found ample means for gratifying a
soldier’s appetite for eating and sleeping. At
daylight next morning, reveillo was beat, and
after breakfast, the troops took up the lino of
march for the railroad terminus. This was
reached about 2 P. M., and you may he assured
that the sight of the iron-horse was eagerly
greeted by the wearied, foot-sore members of
tho Regiment. We reached Pensacola in duo
time, and were saluted with loud cheers by the
assembled citizens. Wo used the court house of
our deceased relative, Uncle Sam, as barracks
for the night, and after the regulation meal,
spoiled bacon and pilot bread, we were turned
loose in the barracks, with orders to remain in,
and lie by our arms, in readiness to move on the
Navy Yard and Forts. At 4A. M., the beat of
the drum and the ordor to "fall in” gave the
signal for marching. Just then, Capt. Bedell, of
the Bedell House, came over and invited the
"Blues” to breakfast, and twenty minutes were
allowed for that very necessary repast. The
troops were marched out, a steady rain pouring,
and formed in column in the street leading out
towards the Navy Yard. Here we were made
to stand for one hour, awaiting instructions from
the commanding officer. At the expiration of
the time, just as day was about to break, the
order was given to march back to the barracks !
No one could assign any reason so r the coun
termanding of our first instructions to move on to
the Yard, and various were the conjectures. In
an hour or so however, the mystery was explain
ed. When we left Montgomery, it was under
stood that the forces wera to be under command
of Col. Lomax, that we wore to march against the
Federal forts, take them if possible, and if not,
to make the best fight that wo could. While we
wera halted out in the street, however, Col. Lo
max received a communication from Gen. Chase,
stating that he had been appointed Commander
in-Chief, and countermanding the order to pro
ceed forthwith towards tho Navy Yary ! At 8
A. M., an intimation was given that we were to
return home that day. The dissatisfaction was
general, and the indignation of the troops was
expressed in terms more forcible than polite.—
Gov. Moore of Alabama and Gov. Perry came in
for a full share of the just encomiums lavished by
the troops upon the authors cf the expedition.—
But at 9 o’clock, we received orders the seoond
time to march upon the Navy Yard, and this time
it was no false alarm. Shouts of joy rent the
walls,and in ten minutes the soldiers were formed
in full order outside the barracks ready to move.
When the command came to march, and wo
moved steadily along the road down the bay,
evrry man seemed to rejoice that the time for de,
cisive action had come. The distance between
Pensacola and the Yard is about nine miles, a
great portion of the way through water knee
deep, and the balance of the road heavy bottom
less sandbeds. We accomplished it in two hours
and twenty minutes, and all must admit that it
was good time, considering that the troops were
volunteers, and were carrying heavy knapsacks
and muskets. About a quarter of a mile from
the gates ofUnelß Sam’s enclosure, the column
was halted. Two officers were sent by Col. Lo
max to demand of Commodore Armstrong a sur
render. After somo delay, the officers returned,
and reported forty Marines behind the walls, and
the order was given us to each company to load,
and advance to the gate. As we approached, we
could see sentries pacing tho top of the walls
in front of us, and the gate barred and apparent
ly capable of resisting any attack except from
Artillery. Coming to a halt, a second demand
was made, the results of which I will proceed to
give in another communication.
. BARRANCAS.
SAVANNAH AND* ITS DEFENCES.
FORT PULASKI.
The city is guarded on its sea approaches by
Fort Pulaski, built on Cockspur Island, fourteen
miles from Savannah, at the mouth of the Sa
ranah river. The site of the fortification was
selected by Major Babcock, of the United States
Engineer Corps, about twenty-six years age, but
it was not till 1851 that the work of erecting the
present massive masonry fortification was eea
meneed in earnest. In that year, Captain Mans-
field, now Colonel JMansfield, of the Inspector
Geieral’s Department,took charge of its construc
tion. The fort was finished a few years ago at a
cost of $963,000. The fort is of a pentago lal
form, cavering several acres; its walls are forty
feet high, and present two faces on the sea ap
proach, with ranges of fire radiating at opposite
angles. The fort is embrasured on the front and
channel side for one row of guns under bomb
proof casemates, with an "additional tier of guns
open or en barbette. The salient points and
flanking approaches in the rear of the work have
■o embrasures for heavy cannon, but are thor
oughly covered by enfilading musket loop-holes,
which renders a land or escalading attack ex
tra hazardous to an enemy. The full armament
of the Fori, when it shall have been brought
within its walls, will consist on the lower tier
of sixty-five thirty-two pounder iron pieces, and
the upper tier with fifty-three twenty-four poun
ders, four eighteen pounder flanking howitzers,
one thirteen inch mortal, twelve eight-inch Co
lumbiads, and seven ten-irch mortars—in all
one hundred and fifty gars. We unde*stand,
however, that not more than one-half the num
ber of guns required for its full armament are
n the fort, and these are dismantled. The Co
lumbiads, to which reference has been made, are
very destructive weapois, of long range, and
adapted to use spherical shots or shells. Many
of these now in Fort Pulaski can be mounted to
have a horizontal fire of one hundred and eighty
degrees, and a vertical fire of five degrees de
pression to thirty six degrees elevation. The
interior of the fort is well supplied with mass
ive furnaces for heating shot, officers’ quarters,
soldiers’ barracks, magazines, and a tolerable
supply of shot and powder. The Fort at present
is noton a full war footing; to complete it twen
ty-six new barbette gun platforms are required
to suit the prescribed armament; and the ditches
should be cleared of the mud accumulated
throughout their whole extent, the bottoms of
the ditches repaired, and the banks of the feed
ing canal reveted. The full war garrison of the
work is eight hundred men, but one half that
number could hold it successfully against any
armada the government can bring against it.—
Vessels of any considerable sfze, in beating up
the channel to Savannah arc obliged to ap
proach within seventy yards of the fort, and at
this point many guns of largo calibre can be
made to concentrate their fire. The fortification
is pronounced by expert army engineers one of
the strongest and most perfect of its kind on the
continent. It covers more area than Fort Sum
ter. but has one tier of guns less than tha
work.
Fort Putaski is now garrisoned by upwards of
two hundred Georgia [Stpte Troops, who have
put the place in a complete stato of defence.—
The garrison is under the command of Colonel
Alexaner R. Lawton, a graduate of West
Point, and subsequently an |officer of the First
Regiment of the „United States Artillery. lie
afterwards resigned, and is at present a practis
ing lawyer in this city.
FORT JACKSON.
This is a small work, built on a low marsh,
four miles from Savannah, on a site near the
bend of the river, and commanding important
points in the channel. It is built of heavy brick
masonry. It3 armament consists of ten twenty
four pounder iron guns, three small field pieces,
five eight inch howitzers, one ten inch mortar,
and one eight-inch mortar. Its garrison consists
of seventy men.— Sav. News.
PEDIGREE OF HANNIBAL IIAILIN,
For the benefit of all concerned we publish the
following letter relating to the pedigree of the.
Black Republican Vice-President elect of the
Northern States. It came to us through the hands
of a gentleman, who vouches for the truth of tho
writer, a gentleman of New Hamshire. Its state
ments but confirm the assertions of one of Ham
lin’s colleagues of the House of Representatives,
from Maine, in former years, who then assured
the Hon. E. B. Rbett that Hamlin had negro
blood in his veins, and that one of his children
had kinky hair. Hannibal and Scipio are both
favorite names on the plantations. Doubtless
this Hannibal inherited his classic appellation
from an imported ancestor dul bed Hannibal by
his owner. We have been informed of a desire,
on the part of somo Alabamians, to purchase the
title and to fetch him down to Alabama. But as
he is only he is entitled by
our own laws to be whitewashed, a»d therefore,
as these gentlemen might lose their money and
their trouble, we would respectfully advise against
the plan. Besides, it would •e cruel to his con
stituency of the Northern States. "Ephram is
joined to bis idols : let him alone.” —Tiainbridgc

LETTER FROM A GENTLEMAN OF THE HIGHEST
RESPECTABILITY.
Portsmouth, N. H., Oct. 20, 1860.
Dear Sir : —On my return to this place, after
an absence of ten days, I found your tetter of the
9th inst, making inquiries respecting Senator
Hamlin’s pedigree, which I hasten to answer. I
wa3 told by Hon. John Burnham, of Hancock
county, Maine, who was many years a member of
our State Senate and Executive Council, that "he
knew Hannibal HamPn’s ancestry well, having
lived, in early life, in their immediate neighbor
hood. He said that his [great-grandfather was a
mulatto, and married a French woman (Canadi
an) for his wife. I have a very distinct recol
lection of his remarks, and have quoted his exact
words. My father, who was a soldier in tho Re f
olutionary army under Generals Sullivans and
Green, at Rhode Island, o.ten told me that he
knew Hannibal Hamlin’s grandfather, Captain
Eleazer Hamlin, who, at that time and place, com
manded a company of negroes, mulattos and In
dians. He once heard the Inspector of tho Regi
ment inquire of Captain Hamlin, "how many
blacks, besides himself, ho had in his company?”
It is not true, as some of the Republican pa
pers represent, that the grandfather, Eleazer
Hamlin, served the country faithfully during the
Revolutionary War. My father said he embez
zled the money he received for paying his men,
and after stealing a quantity of wine and other
necessaries provided for the sick and wounded,
sold them, pocketed the money, and left the army
in disgrace.
The father of Hannibal Hamlin lived, where
Hannibal was bom, within a quarter of a mile of
my residence in Paris, Maine. The father was a
Federalist of the Hartford Convention stamp, and
had a brother named Africa Hamlin. It is a cur
rent report in that neighborhood, that a servant
girl once heard an uncle of Hannibal Hamlin,
while looking at him in the cradle, remark, "For
God’s sake, how long will this damn black blood
remain in our family.
The above facts are all that have come to my
knowledge, and I have slated them correctly.—
But you mistake, I fear, the sentiment of Penn
sylvania and the Free North, if you suppose that
proof of African blood in the veins of any candi
date of the Republican party for the Presidency
and Vice-Presidency will detach from them votes.
I verily believe that Fred Douglas and Dred Scott
would command a still stronger vote in the Free
States.
If the election of Lineoln occurs, as it now
seems probable, there will, I predict, be, within
one year, a dissolution of the Republican party or
of the Union.
The only bond of Union is the Constitution,
and if Lincoln should sustain it in good faith, the
Abolitionists of the North will not sustain him.
But if, ou the other hand, he heeds their coun
sels and represents truly their sentiments, the
whole fabric of our Government must crumble,
and we, at the North, must be the greater suf
ferers, as it will be the seat of civil strife.
The State of Georgia has justly been entitled
in all sections of the country, the "Empire State
of the South.” We hail her accession to the
noble little constellation of seceding States, with
pride and peculiar gratification. To change the
figure, we regard Georgia as the key-stone of
the arch of a Southern Confederacy. We may
venture to say now, that, for reasons which the
event makes it unnecessary to state, we have re
garded the success of the secession movement as
dependent very much, if not wholly, upon the
course of Georgia. That success is no longer
problematical. The chain of Gulf States from
the Atlantis to the Mississippi is oomplete, and
the geed eausegees bravely on.— Mobil* Regis

This company having solicited Governor Brown

The service of a Ranging Company will be very

be from six to twelve months. I would suggest
to young men at a distance, who accept this invi
tation to unite themselves in fours and eights, as
comrades of battle. It will not be necessary to
call out such of them for drill till the company is
mustered into service, then a few days drilling
will fit them for tho campaign. Address
