COLCMEIiBATBftDAT. JINtABY 26, mi. 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, and is worthy the high position to which he has been elocted. Hon. Augustus It. Wright is from the sth. Dis trict. Was a Douglas man and a co-operationist. Has represented Georgia in tho old Congress, and 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. A. I VERSON. 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 Argus. 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 tar. Telegraphic.

Seven hundred State troops assembled in this city this morning, for the purpose of making a demonstration upon the U. S. Arsenal located here. Gov.

Treadwell, of New York, intends to lilo affi davits charging treason on Robert Toombs and Judge Iverson, of Georgia, Senator Wigfall, of Texas, Senator Slidell, of Louisana, and others before the District Court, to see if he cannot get process issued. Chief Justice Taney refused to issue process, after three days’ advisement. In the House to-day Rust, of Arkansas, de manded an apology of Dunn, of Indiana, for words spoken in debate. Dunn refused at the time to give satisfactory apology; hut measures have since been taken whi*h will prevent a duel- Nothing of importance was done in Congress to-day.
