Floyd, of Virginia, to the General Aaaerably of that State on Tuesday. It will be .sen that the Governor adopt* the principle* laid down in the u&lmatum of the Georgia Convention. Executive Dkpaktmsnt; > Richmond, Dec, 16.1850, 5 To the General Assembly of the Stateof Virginia: Gentlemen- : I herewith trannmit t you a Pre amble and Reaolution* passed by the Convention of Indiana, assembled to revise the Constitution of that State, and the Report and Resolutions of a like Con vention of the State of Maryland. Thespiritin which they are conceived must bo regarded as a fa vorable omen and thoy excite the hope that tho feel ing of bitterness and dissension which pervade the Confederacy, may yet pass harmlessly away. There are, indeed, portentious maniteitationsof deep dis content at the South; and these have been heightened and inflamed by tho course recently pursued in Ver mont. The Legislature of that State has virtually, by statute, annulled the law of Congress for the re capture of fugitive slaves, which alone induced the Southern States to acquiesce in the late Compromise measures. Vermont has thus inflicted upon the whole South at once an injury and an insult. To neither can we with honor or self-respect submit. There must be a distinct, immediate and final set tle ment of the question of slavery between the slave holding and the non-staveholding States. If the pre sent agitation is continued, the Union will inevita bly bo destroyed. If this element of discord bo re- move£. no cause of feud reiurins to jeopardise the permanence of our confederation. No honorable meansahould be left untried to restore and perpetu ate tranquility. For this wc should exhaust every measure of conciliation and forbearance. We can anarcely pny too much for the restoration of that fra ternal harmony, which is the life-blood ofourfede- , r*te organization, and which alone can for any length of tltnfi preserve the Union. In discharge of the duty which ttte South owes to herself and her citizens *he must maintain, at all hazards and at any cost, her honor, her equality, her independence and her essential rights. In proof of her devotion to the Un ion, she must be prepared to sacrifice all else to her sense of patriotism. The late action of Vermont demands an instant settlement of the issue which has so long distracted the country. The recent action of Indiana seems to indicate that tho time is propitious for its amicable decision. For the restoration of complete and efl'ce- tual harmony, I would suggest a measure, in which the patriots of all sections, and all who reverence and are willing to abide by the Constitution may co operate. I would recommend the adoption, by the Legis lature. of reso utions inviting all the States of the Union to unite in sending delegates to reprp-em the whole people of the General Convention, which ought to assemble at an early period—not later than May— at Baltimore, or some other convenient central point, lor the purpose of bringing to an end all sec tional controversies relative to slavery. To secure that end the principles which should govern the ac tion of the Convention ought to be announced in the resolutions by which it is called. All should he invit ed to unite in this movement who are in favor of the perpetuation o 1 the Union, and who, to attain this result, are in favor of the Fugitive Slave Bill, honest ly and cordially enforced—who are opposed to its repeal or essential modification, and who are adverse to any farther agitation of the slavery question, eithe.' in Congress or in the States. With this the South will be content—less than this can only eventuate in tho dissolution of the Union. The action of such a Convention, if successful and fully su.tained' by the non-slave holding States, would satisfy and quiet the South—if unsuccessful, it would, prove that the Yriendi bf ofder and the Union are impotent to con trol the fanatical passions which are now urging on a speedy dissolution. It is a measure which add reuses it self to no particular party, and refers to no political organization, but asks the cordial support of every true patriot in all sections of our widely-extended Republic, and which alone seems adequate to redress or avert tho terrible evils under which the country now labors, or of which it is apprehensive. To render this measure effectual, and to relieve the deliberations of the Convention from the trammels by which it might otherwise be embarrassed, I would farther recommend that such resolutions bo accom panied with the sincere and earnest appeal of the State of Virginia, speaking through her l.egis ature to her slater. States ot the South, entreating them Transmitted Expressly for the Daily Morning Neue. SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA^ Advance In Cotton. Free Tbade and r the Pbksidkncy.—According to the New York Tribune, there is a secret organi zation in that city of free trade Importers, shippers, agents of foreign manufacturers, See., for the purpose of securing the nomination of the Hon. Robert .1 Walk er for the Presidency. This movemcn t, the Tribune says, is backed by a subscription of over 8200,000, payable half on demand,and the balance in six months. The Post denies the existence ot any such political plot. From indications which we have recently ob served In that paper, we are more apt to suspect that lree-soilism Is at the bottom of the movement.

Athenjeum.—We are pleased to learn that the Athensenum Is to be opened in a few days, under the direction of Mr. F. C. Adams, who haB been at great pains to select a sterling stock company, among whom we recognize the mimes of several old ia- vorttes. The company will comprise the following artists : Messrs Chas. Thorne Walcott, Linden, Ellsleb, Jefferson, Seymour, Deakino, Ryan, Cullen, Ryder,Wood and Crocker,Mrs, Charles Thorne, Mra.MYER*,Mrs. Jefferson, Mrs. Dearino, Miss E. Dkabinq, Fanny Dearino, danecuse, Mrs. Seymour, Mrs. Wood. The company both in point of number and talent, is respectable, and will, we doubt not, under the judicious management of Mr. Adame present strong claims to the patronage of our Theatre going public. After the long dearth of amusements, their advent will be hailed with lively satisfaction by all who hove a taste for and properly appreciate the drama. jy The population of Georgia being about one million, as shown by the late census, this State will gain several Representatives in Congress by the next apportionment The Districts will be laid off auew. From Indian River, Florida.—The U. S. schr. Caroline, Capt. Hays, arrived on Saturday night, Irom Indian River. Every thing was quiet in Flori da when tho Caroline left. Maj. Loud’s Company is stationed at that post, but will shortly leave for Fort Moultri e, South Carolina, and be jreplaced by a com pany now at that Fort. The report published in the Georgian, that Capt. D. Clark, and an Indian River mail rider, while crossing the Haulover, some time since, had been at tacked by three Indians, and fired upon, is contra dicted. The Jacksonville Republican of the 19th inst states thatthey have the authority of Mr. Clark him self, who is a resident oi that town, to correct the re port—no attack haring been made upon him by the Indians. The Tallahassee Sentinel soys that the mail carrier between New Smyrna and Indian River, on reach - ing Fort Anne Haulover. found his boot gone, and a boat which a free negro was expected to take down to Indian River, in company with him,was gone also. The negro’d breukfust was stil) cn the fire, burnt al most to a cinder, and he not to be found, while there were Indian signs about that place. This circumstance, related by the Sentinel, is the only thing upon which a suspicion hangs of any thing very recent in the way of Indian hostilities. We are assured by persons who hare been through the In dian country lately thatthere is no dis position on the part of the Indians to disturb the whites. WasHinoton, Dec. 18.—A report is being circu lated South, that -lenny Lind contributed $1000 to the Abolition Society. The Union contains a correspon dence between Ritchie and Barnum, in which the lat ter denies in the name of the Nightingale any such contribution. This is the first we have heard of the report. Ab Jenny has never manifested any signs ot monomania or insanity, we do not believe that her gentle heart ever consented to such an act of folly. Her purse is free to tho needy and the afflicted, but she has too much good sense we trust, to contribute money to be used in disturbing the peuce of a nation that has paid her so much willing homage. Ijp 3 A Union meeting was held in Laporte, la., on the 23d ult., John C. Reed, Esq., in the chair. Sev eral of the resolutions are like those adopted at Cas tle Garden meeting. There was a strong effort made by tho Abolitionists, Free Soilers, See., to disapprove of the Texas Boundary Bill and the Fugitive Slave bill, but it did not apccpcd. $4,803,644 03 Capital Stock.... — Notes in circulation...../.....'. ,5® Off' Discount Account $40 S4R ifl 00' Reserved Fund 50,461 34 Dividend unclaimed...

It is expected that parties will visit Charleston during the Holiday Week, to hear Jenny Lind, from Augusta, Macon and many of the interior towns of the State on the lines of Railroad communication. Savannah will doubtless be well represented on the occasion. Advance in Salt.—A dispatch from Syracuse N. Y., Dec. 18th, says :—The salt manufacture in this city is nearly suspended for the want of water.— Prices have advanced eight per {cent. The news from Turks Island is also indicative oi a short eup_ ply and high prices. ggp- The court martial for the trial of Commodore Jones, is in session The/charges against Crnnmo dore Jones are, that he used the funds of the Pacific squadron to speculate in gold dust, nnd that he unlaw fully hung two men on board of a ship, in California. A young officer, who suffered punishment under Commodore Jones in California, is, we learn, his principal accuser. jejp The President has issued a proclamation do ctoring that the act if Congress fixing tho Texas Boundary is in full force and effect. A Distressing And Singular Fact.—A friend just returned from tiie neighborhood of Ware cou n- ty, Or., informs us of a moat melancholy and remark- able occurreneo which involves the sudden death of four children, of a family named Brown, inthatcoun- ’ tf'.' Throe children of Mrs. Brown, while she was en gaged in washing, were heard to scream, and upon the mother running to ascertain the cause, she found they had all beeff^everely bitten by a rattle snake. from the effects of which they subsequently died While the anxious mother was absent to their relief, hht fourth child, that she bad left at the place where she wes employed, accidentally fell into a large tub or pot ofhotling water, and was so severely scalded that Id this case also death ensued.

The editor says— The difficulty on odo part was between Monroe Carter, David Angrily. Wm. Jolly———Walker and perhaps others, and on the other part between Jerry Joseph and Sevier Fryer, brothers, and their friends. In the rencontre which took place on Wtd- nesday, theparties met on Market street in the heart of town, The weapons used were two Six-Revol vers, a Riffle, a Musket, a Bowie-knife, an Axe. Grindstone, clubs, &c. Carter was not present. His pat ty forted in Townsend & Co’s store; And used the Revolvers. The battle waB brief but terrible. Jo- ph Fryer had an eyo shot out. Jerry Fryer was ‘its arm. Job. Lovetody, in his hand. Of the irty, Walker was shot in the shoulder with t balls and his arm is badly broken, hia damage -erious. William Jolly cut on the bead arid neck st Bowie-knife A man not engaged in the r the name of Rush, shot in tho mouth. Col. allie, standing in a store opposite, had a ' 1 the breast of his coat. What damage tb rocks and clubs we ere not inform* d. engaged were all bound over to Court, 1 "y , who mounted a fleet horse and made Southern Congress. The Bill just passed by the South Carolina, Legisla. ture, providing for the appointment of deputies to a Southern Congress,and for calling a Convention of the people of that StHte,directs eighteen deputies to be elected, four by the Legislature at its present ses sion from the State at largo, and two from each of the Congressional Districts by the people, on the second Monday in October next. The Governor to authorized in concert with the Governors, or other proper authorities of other States joining in this Congress, to appoint the time and place of meeting. The Governor is also directed to communicate a copy of this Act to the Executives of each of the stoveholding States, and to urge upon them the de sire of Carolina, that they should send deputies to meet her own at Montgomery, in Alabama, on the 2d day of January, 1852. The members of the Convention are to be elected on the 2d Monday in February next, each election district being entitled to a number of delegates equal to tho whole number of its Senators and Represen tatives in the Legislature. All free white mules of the age of 21 and upwards, are eligible to a seat in the Convention. The Governor is to assemble the Convention which is to meet at Columbia, whenever the Southern Congress shall have been held. But it the Convention is not convened by the Executive before the next session of the Legislature, then that, body is to fix the time of its meeting. On Friday the following gentlemen were elected by the Legis lature Deputies to the contemplated Southern Con gress: Langdon Cheves, Robert W. Barnwell, John P. Richardson, Wade Hampton. bids fair to become a place of some r a Blow.—We learn, says the Chat tanooga Oa-.este, that on Saturday week Jordan Gar- denbire struck Henry Sisolm, in Dade county, Geor gia, frinn which he died on last Tuesday night.— GerdcrtbirehM escaped.

It is important that some investigation should be had, as to the cause of these numerous Colton eontlngrations. The loss from this cause in eleven fires occurring in New York, and Brooklyn during the past thirteen months is said to amount to over a million and a qunrter of dollars.— Hence there is a disposition among insurance offices to increase the rate on Cotton risks.
