For instance, they are unit' i lVC1 - the State telling the people ot Geor- v arc slaves.

The planter often 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. HENRY. 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 ^ * Patens our General Government.

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 resolution recommending a Southern Congress of the seceding States to be held at Montgomery on Thursday, the fourth day of February next. v Alatattt ftttcded CrMi tk« 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. Special Dispatch to the Mobile Mercury. Fort Pike about to be tttacbcd. New Orleans, Jan 5.—The True Delta to-day publishes the following thrilling news from Fort Pike, with the subjoined remarks: “We have bare ly time before going to press, to publish the fol lowing telegram from Maj. Boswortb, command ing Fort Pike, to a friend in this city. The dis- pateli speaks for itself:” “Fort Pike, Jan. 5.—The Fort is now sur rounded by tisiring smacks, turned into armed gun boats, and filled with armed men, the flag boat of the squadron having hoisted at the peak the Pal metto and Pelican flags. A peremptory order has been sent me by the commander of the expedition to surrender the fort at discretion, or an immediate attack would be made.

Richmond, Jan. 11.—The Legislature received to-day a communication from the State of Missis sippi stating her unconditional secession from the Union, and her desire fora new Union from tbe seceding States on the basis ot the old Cuustitu- Several resolutions of a conservative character were tabled. _ • _ _ A bill providing for a State Convention was re- P °A resolution has passed the House requesting the President aud each Southern State to unite in as 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 en by the Senate. , There was increased excitement at the Capitol to-day. NORTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE. RvleigH, Jan. 12.—The Seuate debated the Convention bill to-day. There waa no action tak en on the bill* 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. • ! It is said, in th<? Baltimore American, that the 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.

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.
