bis bale of cotton weighing ;:00 lbs. at 11 c.

1,1s neighbors to haul his cotton to market;
£ ( ^ ^ nut expect that neighbor to do it for uoth-
1 li L . would not have him to do it for nothing.
:U " knows the price for hauling his cotton to mar-
^ ® come out of his cotton. If there is hut ono
. nncighborhood who hauls cotton to market
m ‘ *j liirgi j,e will fix and have his own price. If
are two or more, they will haulj cotton at a
il rofit over and above the cost of their wagon
511 il-iilv. The shipper of cotton from a
’ 4 •/ ^ ^ ^
' [hern seaport occupies this position. He has a
: PLI f how he will ship iiis cotton; he can ship
■ t either direct to Europe or by the way of New
yd- which is often tlio cheapest. Much of the
' jthern shipping, jus it is called, is owned, or an
interest is owned in it, by men born at the South,
eets tor
to the North, or aE Y 1
ind men who
have made the South their home,
at the South. So you see, the propor-
0 f freight coming to those who have an inter-
• n this shi|>|>i»'rgr. and w ho reside in our Southern
seaports, never go into the Northern man’s pocket,
pit illt0 the Southern man’s pocket. So much for
that.
As to appropriations by the Federal Govern-
n'ent Virginia has received more aid from the
Federal Government by appropriations than any
statf in this Union. Mr. Toombs voted in J856 or
1-3? to appropriate fifty or seventy millions of acres
of (he public lands to build Rail Roads in the west
gud North-west. Those lauds thus given away
would have brought at least ten to twelve millions
of dollars, and now lie conies lrome, and abuses the
Government for doing the very thing he aided to
Jo. Mr. T. R- R. Cobb complains of the number
ofMt houses on the Hudson, and says there is
aot a light House on the Mississippi River. Whose
fault is it that there is not a light house oil the. Mis
sissippi River ? Is it the fault of the North ? Has
the South ever asked that light houses might he
placed along the Mississippi River ? No. Then
whose fault is it ? It is not the North’s. Then it is
the fault of Southern members in Congress who
could give away the public lands to build Rai
Hoads, but who could not ask for light houses to be
placed along the Mississippi, that safety might at
tend its navigation. Those Southern gentlemen
complained of a tiling not done, that they them-
rlres ought lo have had done. Permit me to go
back to the cotton crop. Suppose the crop of this
tout should reach 4,000,000 bales, and each bale
ihould weigh 500 pounds and sell at 12 cents per
pound, that would make each hale worth sixty dol-
lirs. Now multiply 4,000,000 by 00 and you have
ia fact what the whole crop will bring say $240,-
000,000. Judge Bi nning says of the cotton crop the
North will get $230,000,000 ; so you see if he be
right, the South will get but ten millions of the two
hundred and forty millions of dollars. Does any
sane man believe any such silly stuff ! Suppose a
nunsbips a bale of cotton to Savannah and sells it
thereat 10 cents a pound, it weighing500 pounds.
He of course gets fifty dollars for his bale of cotton.
He pays out of that fifty dollars, three dollars for
the freight for carrying his bale of cotton over the
Oatral Kail Road to Savannah. That leaves the
min forty-seven do! bus. It is clear the North has
uut got any of that man’s fifty dollars yet. How
will the North got any of that man’s fifty dollars?
Why, if lie buys any homespun or calico he pays
the profit of the mauufacturewind merchant. W T
how much will that be ! About a cent or two cents
a yard. If he buys a bolt of calico and homespun
audthey number thirty yards each, he will pay a
profit of one dollar and twenty cents to be divided
between the manufacturer and merchant. Sup.
pose the manufacturer was to make live cents a
yard anil a pound of cotton would make four yards
m homespun, how much profit will he have left
alter he pays hand hire, interest on his capital in
vested and the ware and tare of machinery ? If the
lactorynas located in Georgia, these expenses will
attend its working. There is a difference between
‘hipping and selling cotton lo a Northern manufac
turer ami an English manufacturer, .and it is this:
the Northern manufacturer does not like the Eug-
bih manufacturer—deducting Iff pounds as tare
tor every 444 pounds. The Northern manufactur-
e ‘ p«ys the same price for the bagging and rope that
cover and ties up the cotton that he docs for the
cotton a pound. The English manufacturer pays
nothing for the rope & bagging. Now calculate thjt
Impounds at 10 cents, and it makes a difference of
"us dollar and sixty cents a bale, (a very handsome
profit to a dealer in cotton) in favor of selling to
i"" Northern and against selling to the English
manufacturer. That one dollar and sixty cents,
"■■il frequently ship three bales of cotton to New
^wk. Again, the Northern manufacturer takes your
cotton if you wish by the weights put bn each bale
at the South. You pay no re-weighing, no ratage,
mid many charges y«u find in the return sales of
i' 1 " kugli.siiman. The foreign exchange sold in
Nev. \ork;s bought and sold by Englishmen, most-
.' 1 herefure the Yankee does not get that either,
*' Mr. (_ ul>b and Judge Leaning are trying to make
people of Georgia believe. Some may think
and sa . v 1 am a Northern man. My ancestors were
frgiuians and South Carolinians. I was born in
’'Uth Carolina and raised in Georgia. I have rel-
'tjiu Elbert and Thomas counties. I am not
‘‘‘laid to tell the truth even if it is against me.

COOPERATION.
M<ssr*. Editors : Having an interest in commoii
fill citizens of the Southern States, I feel deep so-
'c-tude in the present crisis. The position which
^ • lla hvo State will assume after the lapse of a
( ” Vb,10rt ceks, should be of infinite importance
tli l' 01 ^ '^I'idcal- Whether she will demand in
nioti prompt and faithful execution of all the
sand contend for the rights guaranteed to her
er t * ,e Constitution of the United States, or
a y determine upon immediate secession by
Restate action,are questions of great mag-
^ j ie ^crests of all the Southern States, if not
i j le kfrdcs of our present Union, are too closely
entitled to admit of “revolution,” or immediate
ouT" 1 " 1 of a ling'* State. This is a fact growing
i trust it win U hoi utilli site co
operates With her Southern sisters upon the forma
tion of a Southern Confederacy, prepared for any
emergency.
I submit for the consideration of the people of
Georgia, extracts from remarks made by members
of the South Carolina Convention:
Mi. Rhett said “that this great revolution must
go on with as little danger and disturbance to the
country as possible. By nmkiugthe Federal agents
our agents, the machinery of government will
move on smoothly. Taxation must not exist over
us.’
Mr. Calhoun said: “We have pulled the Temple
ot liberty down, which has existed for three-quar-
ters ot a century; we must now clear aw ay the
rubbish, and re construct another. Wc are now
houseless and homeless, and must make provision
to secure ourselves from storms and troubles.”
Mi. Duncan said “that the spirit of the ordinance
was only temporary, until we can treat with the
(jeueral Government.”
Adopting the policy of secession, “revolution,”
as expressed by Mr. Rhett, how is it, I ask, that
he could avert “danger and disturbance” to the
country, unless by submission to the General Gov
ernment ? Being “houseless and homeless,” result
ing from the destruction of the “temple of liberty
how will Mr. Calhoun propose to secure his people
fiom ‘storms and troubles,” unless by submission
to the General Government. Finally, if it be true,
as stated by Mr. Duncan, that the “spirit of the
ordinance of secession is only temporary until the
General Got eminent can be treateil with,” it is clear
ly implied that the instrument is without force and
effect; for the General Government will nccer (be
cause it constitutionally cannot) recognize the in
dependence of South Carolina. Let us then advo
cate co-operation to save the Union if we can, or
dissolve it if we must, by- avowed rebellion, or a dec
laration of war, the South against the North. But
let Georgians first abide the decision of their State
L ouv entiou. I am with my people for their rights,
and South Carolina has my wannest sy mpathy ;
but I have hope that, consistent with honor and
justice, we may continue to prosper in peace un
der our present Constitution. NOSREDNA.
For the Recorder.
Messks. Editors : Please indulge me in the
publication of a short article in your valuable pa
per, asl cannot be satisfied without its publication,
although it may conflict with the sentiments of
some of my friends.
1. There is no good sense in separate State se
cession from the Union, because there is not, nor
never will be, any necessity for such au act while
fifteen States exist equally interested.
2. There is no good sense in secession by one or
all of the Southern States while there is not a sin
gle law on any of the statute books ot the General
Government which has denied or taken away any
of tiie constitutional rights of the Southern States,
and I defy any secessionist to prove that there is.
3. There is no good sense in trying to inflame
the passions of the inoffensive and unsuspecting
people in order to prepare them for secession from
the Union because it proves that those who are
engaged in it do not love the government which
the Lord gave to them by the hand of the immor
tal Washington and his compatriots as they ought
to.
4 There is no good sense in supposing that
should the Convention which is to meet in Mit-
ledgeville on the 16th day of January, 1861, deter
mine .that Georgia shall secede from the Union,
that the people of the State will abide by such a
decision; but good sense says that the people will
require such an act or resolve to be submitted to
them for their ratification or rejection, as the peo
ple have long since learned that a Republican
Government belongs to the people. Mark the pre
diction.
5. Nonsense says that secession will secure our
slave property forever from the power of old Lin
coln and the Republican clan; but sound sense
knows that secession will finally abolish slavery in
spite of all the powers of the Southern States; and
upon that principle, England is now laughing in
her sleeve at the folly of the South.
6. Half of sound sense knows that secession is
not resistance; and good old dispassionate sense,
such as those patriots possessed and exercised in
the formation of the Constitution of the United
States, knows that it would strain the language
half to death to make secession a redress for griev
ances of the magnitude that the secessionists say
he Southern people’s are.
And now, Messrs. Editors, I wish it distinctly
understood that 1 do not. intend in the foregoing
to say that the secessionists are not men of sense,
but I do say, that when sensible men suffer pas-
] a .system of the General Government for
iduetiujr commerce, collecting duties, convey-
^ £ the mails, regulating the army aud navy, and
G" bienfied throughout the Uuion as to cause ev
rj*' D ' en ‘iier to be affected when a link is broken.
e present almost universal loss of confidence
r 4 Us peusion of business is attributable to what

This is submitted to the public respectfully.

Importaut from Washington.
Washington, Jan. lb—Thomas, Secretary of
the. Treasury has resigned, and Dix of New York
appointed in his place, which appointment has been
continued. Senate—Senator Hunter introduced a
resolution to rc-trocede to seceding States, all forti
fications therein.
Mr. Hunter said that there is no hope of preser
ving the Union and the only hope is a reconstruc
tion. lie favored a dual executive and suggested
reforms iu executive branch and the Supreme
Court. Said that coercion is notpruper'or possible
—if Government did not intend to coerce, forts and
arsenals were of no use, but ifilrdid intend to coerce
they ought to be taken from them. He concluded
by making an appeal for a continuance of peace du
ring the executive session.
Jan 12—The Cabinet were iu session until a
late hour last night, considering the dispatches
brought t>y Lieut. Talbot. According to appear
ances, the Administration will maintain its present
position towards South Carolina.
The Star of the West.—The steamship Star
of the West was struck by two balls, one on the
bow and the second on the starboard-quarter be
tween the smoke stack and engine beam. No
body was hurt. The steamer struck on the bar
twice in coming out, and saw at night steamers
coming out of Charleston Harbor, supposed in pur
suit. The same night the Star of the West spoke
the ship Emily St.Pierre from Liverpool forCliarles
ton, w hich had been refused admittance in conse
quence of having the American flag flying. When
leaving the harbor the Star of the West received
several parting shots from Morris’ Island, but all
fell short. The general feeling on board now is,
to return to Charleston with the proper means of
defence, and effect a landing.
Southern Convention Recomended.
Montgomery, Ai.a., Jan. 11.— 1 lie Convention
of the people of Alabama this afternoon passed a

THE OKD!XANTE OF SECESSION.
Montgomery, Jan. J 1th.—‘The follow ing is the
Ordinance of Secession reported and adopted iu
Convention to-day:
Ax Ordinance to dissolve the union betwten
the State of Alabama aud the other States under the
compact styled the United States of America:
Whereas the election of Abraham Lincoln and
Hannibal Hamlin to the offices of President aud
Vice-President of the United States of America, by
a sectional party avowedly hostile to the domestic
institutions, peace, and security of the people of
the State of Alabama, following upon the heels of
many and dangerous infractions of the Constitution
of the United States by many of the States of the
northern section, is a political wrong of so insult
ing and menacing a character as to justify the peo
ple of the State of Alabama in adopting prompt
and decided measures for their future peace aud
security.
Therefore, be il declared and ordained by the Peo
ple oj the State of Alabama, in Convention assembled,
That the State of Alabama now withdraws, and is
hereby withdrawn from the Uuion, known as the
United States of America, and henceforth ceases to
lie one of said United States, and is, and of right
ought to be a sovereign independent State.
SEC. 2. And be it further declared and ordained
by the People of Alabama, in Convention assembled,
That all power over the territory of said State, and
over the people thereof, heretofore delegated to the
Government of the United States of America, be,
and they are hereby withdrawn from said govern
ment, aud are hereby resumed and vested iu the
people of Alabama. And, as it is the desire and
purpose of the people of Alabama to meet the slave-
holding States of the South who approve such pur
pose, iu order to frame and devise a permanent
government upon the principles of the government
of the United States.
Be it also resolved by the People of Alabama in
Convention ascemblcd, That the people of the States
of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Lou
isiana, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky,
aud Missouri, be, and they are hereby invited to
meet the people of Alabama, by their delegations
in Convention, on the fourth (4th) day of February
next, at Montgomery, in the State of Alabama, for
the purpose of consultation with each other, as to
the most effectual mode of securing concerted and
harmonious action in whatever measures may be
deemed most desirable for the common peace and
security.
And be it further resolved. That the President of
this Convention be hereby instructed to transmit
forthwith a copy of the foregoing preamble, ordi
nance aud resolutions, to the Governors of the
several States named in said resolutions.
Done by the People of Alabama, iu Convention
assembled at Montgomery, this eleventh (lltb) day
of January, eighteen hundred aud sixtj'-one (1861.)
The preamide, ordinance, aud resolutions were
adopted by ayes 61, noes 39.
Star of tbc West arrived at Charleston and
repulsed by tbe Forts.
Charleston, Jan 9.—The steamship Star of
the West arrived aud attempted to land her rein
forcements for Major Anderson, this morning.—
The batteries on Morris’s Island fired on her some
ten shots, when she retired. Fort Sumter did not
tire a gun.
The Affair of the “Star of the West.”—
We copy elsewhere, from the Charleston Courier,
says the Savannah Republican of Friday last,
a full account of the attempt of the “ Star of
the West” to enter the harbor of Charleston,
with reinforcements for Major Anderson, and
her repulsion by the forts on Sullivan’s and
Morris’s Islands. It appears that seventeen shots
were fired at the steamer, only two of which
took effect—one in the bow and the other in the
neighborhood of the wheel-house—so far as could
be. judged at the distance. The affair seems
to have.had an electrifying effect upon our South
Carolina friends, who immediately redoubled their
exertions for a successful defence of the harbor.
Some time after the occurrence, Major Anderson
despatched a messenger, with a flag of truce to
Gov. Pickens, protesting against the attack on the
steamer, aud stating that if tbe act should lie
avowed by the State authorities, he should forth
with intercept all vessels that might pass Fort
Suniter. The Governor avowed the act of the forts
iu tiring upon the vessel, and went at length into a
review of the relations now subsisting between
South Carolina aud the United States, as a justifi
cation of their course. To this Major Audersou,
through a second messenger, replied, that he
should report the case to the government, aud
postpone all further action in the premises until in
formed of its decision.

to-day a communication from the State of Missis
sippi stating her unconditional secession from the

surances of preparations for peace— a restoration
of the. original status of the forts and arsenals,
which shall be maintained only to repel actual ag-
apply a match to the guns or spring a mine, and as
a last resort, I would blow up the fort and perish
with the star-spangled banner in the ruins. Pos
terity, I trust, will do my memory justice.
W. BOSWORTH.”
A private note Iroin the Junior Editor of the
Mercury, dated the 6th, says: “Fort Morgan, at
this place, is ours, aud is now occupied by 100
meu. Three cutters are in the Bay; we may
iiave to fight. We are looking for stirring news
from New Orleans to-morrow. Thirty men went
up this evening, to reinforce the Arsenal.”
It is said that the venerable T. S. Pettigru, one
of South Carolina’s noblest names, and sons, con
tinues in Charleston, almost alone, to oppose tbe
measures and proceedings adopted by the seces
sionists.
A General War on Uncle Sam.—The taking
of forts and arsenals from the Federal Government
appears to have been a general and preconcerted
arrangement by Southern Governors. Besides
(he positions taken near Mobile, it is reported that
the Governor of Alabama has ordered troops to
Pensacola to assist the Floridians in taking the
navy yard, &c As the Government has several
companies at Pensacola, and the station is au im
portant one, a conflict may occur there. The Rich
mond Enquirer learns that Gov. Ellis of North Car
olina, has taken possession of Fort Macon and oth
er Federal stations in his State.
These “precipitating” acts of Southern Gover
nors may prevent the possibility of any delay of
secession, or any adjustment between tbe sec
tions. They have inaugurated revolution in the
place of ^peaceable secession. What the conse
quences may be, we shall not attempt to predict.
[Columbus Enquirer.
State Loan.—We understand that the several
Banks throughout the State will agree to take
their respective proportions of the State loan of
four hundred thousand dollars authorized at the
present session of the Legislature for the military
defence of the State.—Charleston Courier.
If, since the issue of the late unhappy Presiden
tial election, says the Alexandria Gazette, many
former Union men in the South now incline to
wards secession, it is asserted, on the other hand,
that at the North, many of the friends of Mr.
Breckinridge take decided ground against South
Carolina, and will not support the movements in
gressious. . „. -
The Convention bill was debated. The city w
much excited. , , _ _
January 12.—The House passed the Convention
bill with amendments to refer its action relative to
secession, back to the people. No action was tak

There was increased excitement at the Capitol

Lincoln’s Views on Secession.—A corres
pondent of the St. Louis Republican, writing from
Springfield, Illinois, says t
I have it from an entirely reliable source, that
the President elect thinks that no State sW</ fcc/«rc-
ed to remain in the Union, and th it be will only use
ccerciou if required to do so by speeial act of Con-
gieas. •

course of Gov. Hicks oi Maryland, so far, is ap
proved of by Mr. Breckinridge, Mr. QrittenJen.
Senator Pearce of Md.. Gen. Scott, and other dis
tinguished men, friends of the South, but desirous
of restoring, if possible, the Union.
Tbe appointment of Mr. Holt, tiie Postmaster
General, as Secretary of War, ad interim, is con
sidered a good one. He is said to be desirous, if
possible, ot effecting a settlement, and restoring
the Uuion of the States.
Sent Ndkth.—On Thursday morning, 3d*inst.,
eight or nine persons passed through Raleigh, N. C.,
on their way North from South Carolina, iu charge
of Adams Express, with their heads shaved.
The Missing Bond*.—Five thousand dol
lars worth of the missing State bonds have
tamed up in this city, and are now in the
hands of a wealthy gentleman, who pur
chased them in New York two years ago.
They are North Carolina bonds; and the
numbers correspond with those that Lave
been advertised.
From tbe above it would appear that
these bonds were abstracted from tbe 1>«
pertinent of tbe Interior two years ago,
and it is, to say the least, singular they
have not been missed before. Tbe gentle
man who bolds them has not been oct of
tbe eity. that we know of, but tbe bonds
were purchased by bis agent iu New York,

increased on tbe completion of the Augusta & Ma
