Nashville, Nov. 20.
Tennessee legislature has passed a law estab
lishing a State Ordinance Bureau, appropriating
$300,000 for manufacturing arms, also authorizing
the Governor to press into immediate service all
suitable guns in the State.
Memphis, Nov. 20th.
The meeting to-day resolved to send men and
money to Columbus. An address issued, call
ing on sister States to send men and guns for
the defense of the Mississippi Valley. The ad
dress says: The long threatened invasion of
the enemy, against our rights and liberties, is at
hand, and moving upon us by land and water,
in overwhelming numbers.
Within the next five days a groat battle will*
be fought at Columbus, and if overpowered,
Memphis is lost to the South, unless Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana help. The friends in
the surrounding States must look the facts sterh
ly in the face, before too late.
From the Macon Telegraph.
Senatorial Election.
Contrary to our belief, Wednesday evening, it
seems, the Legislature did complete the Senato"
rial elec ion that afternoon. We gave yesterday
the result of the Ist and 6th ballots, which elect
ed Mr. B. H. Hill and Mr. Toombs. The follow
ing is a complete statement of the votes on both
elections :
First Ballot—B. 11. Hill, 127, (elected.) Rob
ert Toombs, GS; scattering 4.
Second Ballot —Iverson, 85; James Jackson,
35; Toombs, 49; Johnson, 22; scattering 8, Hon.
E. A. Cochran requested members not to vote
for Governor Johnson, as he had not been put in
nomination and was not a candidate.
Third Ballot—lverson, 87; Toombs, 67; Jack
son, 43; scattering, 3.
Fourth Ballot—Toombs, 82; Iverson, 73; Jack
son, 44.
Fifth Ballot—Toombs, 93; Iverson, SS; Jack
son, 47. Mr. Iverson withdrawn. *
Sixth ballot—Robert Toombs, 129, (elected.)
Jas. Jackson, 67.
Os the scattering votes, we see our friend of the
Corner Stone, received five votes, and stood No.
1 among the outsiders.
The election of Mr. Hill upon the first ballot
should satisfy our friends of the late opposition
that there is no such disposition to proscribe them
as they supposed to exist. It is true it might
have been in part the result of haggling, but if
there was any bargain, it proved insufficient, for
the man entered against the field took the purse.
Asa measure of pacification we are glad Mr.
Ilill is elected. He is not a man of much orig
inally, force or depth, and as a legislator, so far
as we can judge by his career in our General
Assembly, he is decidedly inapt. But that is our
opinion. Thousands of Georgians look upon him
as the brightest light in the State. The Senato
rial delegation, as a whole, is worthy the reputa
tion of Georgia. The brotherhood of the House
on the other hand, as a whole, is such an one as
Georgia never sent to Congress before, but under
the benign influences of King Scrub, let us flat
ter ourselves that it is intellectually far superior
to any we shall send again. We are bound to
come to the very rudiments under the scrub
system.
Seiznre of Salt by the Governor,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, )
Milledgeville, Ga., Nov. 18th, 1851. )
Col. Jared I. Whitaker,
Commissary General, dc.
Col: —I have learned that there is now a con
siderable quantity of salt in the depot of the
Central Railroad at Savannah, and I have noti
fied Mr. Adams, the Superintendent of [the
road, that he is required to detain it in [the de
pot, subject to your order, for the use of the ar
my. You are hereby ordered to take charge
of the salt and give Mr. Adams your receipt for
it. When the owners present their claims you
will pay each five dollars per sack, which I con
sider just compensation. As we shall need a
very considerable quantity for public use, you
will inform me of any which you may find in the
hands of speculators or traders who are selling
at more than five dollars per sack, with freights
from Savannah added, and I will give you di
rections as to the seizures necessary to be made.
No seizures will be made of any supplies in the
hands of persons who are selling to the people
at five dollars per sack with freights from Savan
nah added. I feel that it is gross injustice to
the Government and to the people to permit
speculators who have managed to get the con
trol of articles of absolute necessity, to sell
them at the enormous prices now demand
ed in the market. The Constitution of this
State clearly provides that private property may
be taken for public use by paying just compen
sation. Under this provision, I feel it my duty
when any necessary article is controlled by a
few persons, who demand from ‘the State and
her citizens unreasonable and unjust compensa
tion for it, to authorize you to seize in the hands
of those who ask the 'highest prices such sup-

plies as maybe needed for public Hue, and pay
the owners just compensation.
I very much regret the necessity which must
control my action in the present emergency, but
a sense of duty compels me to assume the re
sponsibility. Ts the constituted authorities do
not interfere, but will pay on the » part of the
State the high prices demanded by unpatriotic
speculators, the cost of the supplies necessary
to maintain our army will soon swell the public
debt to an enormous burden, and as the high
prices paid by the State will control the mar
kets and compel its citizens to pay as much,
provisions will be placed out of the reach of the
poor who labor for their daily bread, and much
suffering and misery must be the result/
I shall use all the power vested in me by the
Constitution and laws of this State to prevent
these deplorable results.
Very respectfully, <tc.,

The Attack on the Royal Yacht.
The Galveston Civilian, of the 9th, has the
following account of this affair, which has been
mentioned in the telegrams :
Our people were startled this morning with the
rumor that the Confederate schooner Royal
Yatch, commanded by Capt. Chubb, had been
set on lire last night by the enemy, that all
on board were captured. Besides the rumor,
several parties reported that firing had been heard
during the night. Subsequent developments
cofirmed the rumor.
At A. M., the sentinels on the Rusk saw
the Royal Yatcli on fire oft Boliver, iu the bay.
The boats started, and at about the same time
boats from Pelican Spit Fort started. Both par
ties reached the Yatch about the same time.
On boarding, the party hastened to save the
magazine, toward which the fire was gathering
rapidly. It was within a few inches ofthe maga
zine. The fire on deck was also put out.
Since writing the above, the Bayou City has
arrived with the lloyal Yatch in tow.
On examining her condition we find the fire
not near so severe as we had anticipated, yet it
is a matter of wonder that it was extinguished
and the vessel saved at all. The sails are burnt
up, the upper deck, cabin and hatchway are
much scarred. Immediately over the magazine
the deck had burnt through and through the top
of the magazine, a heavy oak plank, two inches
thick. When Rusk’s party reached the
magazine, some ofthe ends of the cartridges were
crisping, and the cannon cartridges were so hot
that they could scarcely be handled.
The Royal h acht’s cutlasses were found be
low, and her small arms, with the exception of
two guns found on deck, were missing. One of
the muskets found on deck went off after our
friends boarded her Her gun, as stated before,
was on deck, but burned and blackened con
siderably.
The night was quite dark, and the opinion is
that the frigate’s launches got near the Royal
acht before they were discovered. A number
of musket and pistol balls were found bedded in
her si ies and on deck. The frigate’s party must
have been badly scared and left in a hurry, as
several articles belonging to them were found on
deck.
A correspondent of the Charleston Mercury,
writing from Pensacola under date of the 9th,
says:
Two soldiers were shot yesterday by sentence
of a court martial, for violating the 9th article
of war. One, a Mississippian, struck his Order
ly Sergeant, and the other, a Louisiana regular,
choked his Captain. They met their fate with
cool indifference. They died quickly, and with
out pain. 'I he form’of a military execution is to
place the victim upon a chair in a sitting pos
ture, blindfolded, and with his arms pinioned
behind him. A squad of twelve is detailed to
shoot him. Twelve loaded gun3 are handed
them, six of the guns having blank, and six of
them balls cartridges. They are drawn lip at
a distance of ten paces from the victim, and fire
simultaneously at the word of command. Thus
no one of the executioners knows thnt he has
shot the victim.
Florida Congressional Election. The
Floridian of the 16th says:—“We are without
full returns of the late election in this State, but
sufficient have been receiyed to warrant the
opinion that the Hon. James B. Dawkins has
been elected to Congress from the Ist District,
and Capt. R. B. Hilton from the Second.”
An Incident op the Columbus Fight.— The
Memphis Argus tells the following:
Our esteemed citizen, Lem. Farren, of this
county, had a son in the fight at Columbus, who
was, perhaps, the first to meet his death. His
servant was with the company, and, in the pro
gress of the battle, missed his master. Looking
for him, he found him cold in death. The faith
ful slave took his young master’* musket and
cartridge box, fell into the ranks, aad fought all
day with unflinching gallantry, dealing death to
many a Lincolnite.
news sent to Kansas of the battle of
Leesburg, was that “the National troops wore vic
torious, and they had killed 1,200 rebels a D d ta
ken 4,000 prisoners.” That falsehood takes the
remium.
