BE VIGILANT—BE CALM’ i ... first notice of an alleged servile emeute ir neighborhood furnishes an occasion to , upon our readers the equal necessity of and vigilance. There is no doubt that u:i evil disposed white persons, eiuisariesof \,.rtli< ru incendiaries, and vagabonds consort ,.l with them, have been for the past year, and now. busy in various parts of the South, tin* discontent and insubordination. This f J( t calls for vigilance! The regular patrol system established by law should be at once put into force everywhere, under the most effi . <nt direction, and. if necessary, the new or ..i'Hzation of Minute Men. may be enlisted to jive additional efficiency. In every communi ty n Georgia, w hite men having no visible ob ject or employment, being unknown, and with out satisfactory testimonials, should !>e arrest ed ami sent out of the country. Every negro trading grocery or drinking shop, should be - ippres'ed summarily, by law or without law. 11, v ought not to be tolerated at any time 4 ’i.l much less now. Wherever reasonable ; exist, let the neighbors club together a d indemnify the owners, so as to do noinjus- but stop all such establishments at all Lizirds. They are corrupting and dangerous. L,-t all white perscflbs convicted of treasonable , .J incendiary purposes be dealt with under i law, being first secured beyond all danger . pu die mischief. The laws of Georgia are ~]< f<>r the protection of society against all . . h offenders. But if aggravated cases arise, where the popular voice demands condign punishment, aud will not be controlled, see it hast that no injustice is done. Let the most prudent, temperate and conscientious men in vestigate such eases thoroughly before action i- taken which cannot be recalled or redressed. IVe <<>me now to plead earnestly with our Irv n!< f'T the greatest calmness, good jutlg i-t, moderation and forbearance in dealing uitli • u servile population under such unhap . ■ - u-t stanct s. The entire experience of the < s ,n|i. aud our own personal observation, dur ,!u tw ntv years’ experience here, must have -tied le r, as it has us, that anything like an , rd. d• r effective movement at revolt is im- I -->! ■.

LEGISLATURE. We refer to our correspondence for the news •m Milledgeville. The Governor’s Message 1 was probably sent in yesterday, and we will - eit in our next.

' w tsmxt.TON. Nov, 7, 12 M.—The friends of ■’ Southand the Union are here warmly con -•r.<t.dating themselves in consequence of the <re*K-d opposition majority in Congress, to Lincoln’«■ administration. The Republicans are -dos legislative pow er to injure the South, > ven if they were so disposed. My telegraphic friends, we are forced to be kei<-in point of actual fact it will make little od3> how many democrats are elected to the 7th Congress. We are glad to see men of that 'tamp in high position, but the truth is, Lin- ! •in’- party is likely to be thrown largely into ' the majority I>oth in the House and Senate from i the operation of other causes. It is seriously ) ta'licved down here that at least 41 familiar | fa.es will lie missed from the 37th Congress from the South, and this will devolve legislative, , as well as executive, responsibility upon the Lincoln party. MINUTE MEN. We understand at the meeting last night a »- *'t able report was submitted, from the pen of i Samuel T. Bailey, Esq. We will secure it for L Publication al the earliest opportunity, and will procure the proceedings if possible.

He is a man of strange and won derful opportunities. He sent a dispatch from the Charleston Convention to the “ ancient public functionary,” advising him to throw* himself at Douglas’ feet and cry for mercy, ami with a private message to the I'elegraph man to collect $12,50 cost of transmission before de livering the message. These two demands coming on Mr. Buchanan at once were too much for his patience. Geo. Sanders has also, from time to time, during the election, issued his proclamation to the world and enlightened the uttermost parts thereof with his wisdom. His last one bears date the Ist November, and in it he discusses the Cotton Republic, and thinks we will do a cash business. We hope Sanders is right about that. lie ridicules the idea of a blockade thus ? We talk flippantly about blockading the cot ton ports. Such a blockade might last a month or two, but what is that to a brave people, who feel that they are outraged ? And however partial the English and French Governments may now, for sinister purposes, seem to be to the Republican party, neither Government could exist six months without forcing any blockade we might impose. The cotton of our South has, for the last forty years, preserved us from European ag gression, and enabled us to be the haughtiest and most defiant nation in the world. Cotton is next to bread, because it is the only means by which many millions are fed ; and a stop page of supply for a few months would cause revolution in most of our Northern States, and in every border State of Europe. THEATRE. To-night is the last night but one of the Star Company, which opens in Milledgeville next Monday. Romeo and Juliet and Dickens’ master-piece of < diver Twist ought to secure Mr. Fleming a full House. To-morrow is his benefit, and the public owe the enterprising, gentlemanly and talented manager the compli ment of a crowd, independently of the attrac tive merits of his fine histrionic abilities. NIXON'S ROYAL CIRCUS. This establishment is now in full blast to crowded houses. To-day is the last day of their stay in Macon. The band enlivened our streets last night with most musical discourse. MASSENBURG & St)N. It will be seen from our advertisements that Dr. E. L. Strohecker has transferred his well known and popular Drug Store to Messrs. Mas senburg & Son, Virginians, but the latter for some time a practising pharmaeop<eist in Sa vannah, and thoroughly versed in the business. We wish them great success. ♦ » following gentlemen constitute the Committee on the state of the Republic, in the Georgia Legislature; Os the Senate, Messrs.

Death of ax Army Officer. —Brevet Briga dier General Clarke, Commander of the De partment of California, died at San Francisco on the 14th ult,, of chronic diarrhae, after an illness of two weeks. He has served in the U. S. army since 1812, was in it through the war of Mexico, and was promoted to the dis tinguished position occupied at the time of his death for meritorious conduct at the siege of Vera Cruz. Correspondence of the Telegraph ATTEMPTED INSURRECTION IN CRAWFORD. Fort Valley, Nov. 7, 1860. Editor Daily Telegraph: 1 learn from a friend, just from Knoxville, Crawford county, that the negroes at Hickory Grove and vicinity, in Crawford county, at tempted an insurrection on yesterday, (Tues day, 6th inst) He states that Mr. Rob’t Baily rode intb Knoxville, yesterday at 1 o’clock, and announced that the negroes at Hickory Grove had risen, but were suppressed without doing any damage to life or property. Twenty ne groes belonging to Rev. W. C. Cleveland, and negroes belonging to old Mr. Davidson, Sim mons, Harp and Respess, were the only negroes captured. They were incited (so they confess) by one Cullen Davidson, a son of the gentle man above named, and a man by the name ol Grier, a tin peddlar, living at Hickory Grove, a yankee by birth. Old Mr. Davidson's negroes, on Monday, sth inst., told him that they intended to kill him and all the white folks. The negroes state that their intentions were, on Tuesday, while the men were gone to the polls, to kill all the married women and child ren, but to keep the young women for their wives, &c., and kill the men on their return home. Their emissaries have been at work on eve ry plantation in Crawford county, and many in the surrounding ones. For the past twelve months their operations were somewhat more extended, but my informant, Mr. W., can give me no more particulars. He states that after the announcement of the above facts in Knox ville, the citizens mounted their horses and made for their own firesides, and there were scarcely enough men who felt an interest, in the face of the above facts, in Knoxville, to count out the votes. The parties —two white men aud the negroes mentioned, are in custody. I can’t say how they w ill be dealt with. Probably Judge Lynch may sit on the cases of some of them. Further particulars are expected here hour ly. 11. W. T. Milledgeville, Nov. 7. Mr. Cliftby :— I send you the enclosed as the result of the actings and doings in the Le gislature to-day. The crowd here is very small compared to former sessions. The Hon. Alfred Iverson arrived here to day. Have not seen Gov. Johnson. There is some little ex citement here caused by the news of Lincoln’s election, and there are those here now who say they are for waiting lor the “ overt act” before they favor a dissolution. The report that all the Federal officers at Charleston have resigned, has created more excitement T believe than the news that Lincoln is elected. The Douglasites attach all the blrane to the Breck inridge party, and of course are very mad about it. A Convention will certainly be call ed. Some are for immediate action, while a majority want to “ wait for the wagon.” We shall see what we shall see. J. Organization of the Legislature. Milledgeville, Nov. 7, 1860. The Senate and House of Representatives convened in their respective chambers to-day, at half-past 10 o’clock, A. M. The Senate was called to order by the Presi dent, and after calling the roll, all the former officers being in their places, adjourned until to-morrow morning 10 o’clock. The House was called to order by the Hon. D. W. Lewis, of Hancock, who took the Chair for the purpose of organization. After the roll was called the following new members came forward, and were sworn in by Judge Iverson L. Harris: Bessett, of Camden; Barnes, of Richmond ; Heard, of Miller ; Stafford, of Ear ly ; Johnson, of Echols; and Humber, of Troup. The first business in order was the election of Speaker. Hon. C. J. Williams of Muscogee, Hon. Wm. Gibson, of Richmond, Hon. D. W. Lewis, of Hancock, and Hon. Lewis, of Greene, were nominated. The. following is the result of the ballottings : \st Ballot.— Williams 44; Gibson 50 ; Lew is, of Greene, 26; Lewis, of Hancock, 12. 2///Z Ballot.— Williams 53 ; Gibson 53 ; Lewis, of Greene, 17; Lewis, of Hancock, 15. 3r<Z ZAiZZoL—Williams 65 ; Gibson 57; Lew is, of Hancock, 15. \th Ballot.— Williams, 74 ; Gibson, 67. The name of Lewis, of Greene, was with drawn after the 2nd ballot, and that of Lewis of Hancock, after the 3rd ballotting. Hon. Mr. Williams, of Muscogee, being declared elected, a committee of five, consisting of Messrs. Lump kin, Smith, Fannin, Gibson, and Lewis, of Greene, were appointed to conduct him to his seat. After returning thanks for the honor conferred, Ac., the Speaker announced the House organized and ready to proceed to busi ness. Lewis of Greene, offered a resolution, which passed, requesting the Speaker to appoint a committee of five, to draw up and report suita ble resolutions in reference to the death of Hon. J. T. Irwin, late Speaker of the House of Rep resentatives. Committee, Lewis, of Greene, Smith, Fannin, Strickland and Lester. The House then adjourned until to-morrow morning 10 o’clock. J.

The Clarke county, (Va.) Journal contains a letter from Wirt Court-house, which gives an account of the extraordinary dftcoveries of oil now being made in Western Virginia. He gives some instances as follows : Mr. Karns leased a piece of ground (tw*o acres) from Mr. Rathbone, only six miles above mine, for twenty years, and at the depth of one hundred and fifty fwt, reached a vein of oil which yields fifteen barrels, of forty gallons each, per day, worth, at the lowest price twenty five cents per gallon, aud for which lease of two acres he (Mr. K.) has been offered $70,000. This well has been m operation, without any decrease in quantity, for over three months.— Mr. Rathbone, after he saw the success of Mr. Karns’ well, sank one himself, below Karns’, on the river, and I was there the evening he com menced pumping first. He commenced pump ing at six o’clock afternoon, and pumped until six o’clock be forenoon, just twelve hours, and filled a cist< i contain . -.g one hundred and thir ty barrels, forty gallons each—that is to say five thousand two hundred gallons of pure oil, worth twenty-five cents per gallon. Rathbone’s well still continued to pour out the same quan tity of oil up to last night, but that they had to stop pumping for want of cisterns and barrels; and that Mr. Karns told him that I had the best and surest prospect for oil next to Rathbone’s on the river. Tiny have made another discovery in a hill, or rather mountain, on Hugh’s river, a tributa ry of the Kanawha, and distant from here some twelve miles. It is the discovery of oil coal. Mr. Mattingly, who owns it, told me himself (for we travelled together through this county a day. prospecting,) that the vein is one thou sand feet in thickness by actual measurement. How wonderful are all these things, and yet how astonishing that they have not been discovered before; but you must remember that this is comparatively a new country, and that the ear ly settlers were neither literary nor scientifiic men. Put this coal on a shovel and hold it over the fire until it becomes hot, and it all melts and turns to oil. There is every prospect for a speedy improve ment of this river, either by sluicing, or dam , ming, or slack water navigation, so as to intro duce steamboats. The fact is, they cannot get their oil off fast enough by any other means, 1 unless they build a railroad to unite with the Northwestern stem, a distance of twelve miles, and that is strongly talked of. ('orrespondence of the Dublin News. The Pope’s Irish Brigade at Spoleto. 'I here cannot have been much more than 700 or 800 men, if so many, in Spoleto, while the at tacking force was at least 15,000 or 20,000 men. A council was held, and of course, instantane ous surrender was propose ! by some as the most military course in the face of such odds. O’Reily at least, for the Irish in the garrison, (two companies, 260 men,) utterly declined to be a party to any such proceeding, and declared that the man who would take upon himself to even announce such a step to his men, would run the peril ofhis life. The council I can gath er was violently distracted on the point of ca pitulation or no capitulation, but ultimately an express was sent off to Rome, to the minister of war, announcing that it was resolved to defend the town as best they could, and that come what might, the Irish companies were resolved to hold the citadel till the courier returned, or blow it into fi-aginenls. In the' morning the Irish, at dawn, went to mass, and I believe every individual man among them approached Holy Communion. Tn an hour or two afterwards they were called upon to meet the foe. The Sardinians poured in through two of the chief streets, at tempting at first nothing of a cannonade, and evidently confident of carrying the place against such a mere handful of men at the bayonet’s point. They reckoned rashly ; for hours they were held at bay. Little, of course, could be done in the streets by such a small body against 10,000 or 12,000 men; and, at last, pressed on every point, O’Reilly threw himself into the citadel to make the last stand for life or death—for death alone 1 might say— for when the outer gate crashed to, as the last wounded but undaunted defender passed into the quadrangle, there was not a man in all the little band who did not feel that he had taken his stand there to die. They threw themselves upon the walls, and from the tattered loop holes rained the leaden hail with deadly effect upon the beseigers. But these old walls proved miserable defences, and the enemy, after a brief but deadly struggle of the kind, soon, with . cries that rent the air, dashed at the old gate. A crash, a roar—a petard blows it into frag ments. Then the struggle commenced, in deed. In poured the besiegers into the outer yard, which I should mention does not appear to belong to the citadel proper. However, a bloody reception met them there. The Irish had two guns, loaded with grape, plant e 1 inside in a position commanding the entrance, and no sooner was the Piedmontese columns seen through the smoke of the gateway than a murderous-fire was opened, mowing them down literally like corn before the sickle. Again, again, the besiegers dashed through the gate ; again, again and again a perfect hail of grape shot from the two peices in the yard, and the musketry from the citadel walls behind, met them from the Irish inside ; while shouts that would stir many a heart at home in Ireland, plainly told that the brave fellows felt but too well the. honor of Ireland was on the awful stake of the day. It was mid-day, and the outer yard was still uncarried, and the citadel behind un touched ; but all this was not fated to last much longer. The Piedmontese brought up a piece or two themselves, after the first discharge pour ed en masse through the gate. My informant asserts that of the heroic Irishmen who fought those guns inside, not one man escaped. Subse quently, O’Reily and his men, after further des perate resistance, surrendered themselves as prisoners of war. Rumored Duel.—The Oxford, Miss., Mercu ry says, that a rumor prevailed that a duel is on foot between one of our Senators and a dis tinguished politician, formerly of this State, but now a citizen of Tennessee. The parties herein indicated are probably Jeff. Davis and Gen. Henry S. Foote. In the Province of Kiew, in Southern Russia, a poisonous fly has made its appearance, by the sting of which four hundred and nine persons ' have already perished. The insect comes from ! Asia. Once before, sixty or seventy years ago, 1 it. was seen in the same region, when it also made numerous victims. COTTON MARKET.

Washington, Nov. B.—Leading politicians from the North and the South in this city give the following views of the political character of the next Congress, as shown by the recent elections. In the House, the opposition to Lincoln will number one hundred and twenty seven, and the Lincolnites one hundred and ten —showing an opposition majority of seven teen. In the Senate the opposition majority will be eight. It is clear from this that the Lincoln administration will be powerless for two years. ASTOR HOUSE ON FIRE.

Cooper, to state the facts in reference to a report there is in circulation about the negroes carried by him . to Montgomery. I gave him a Bill of Sale of those ne groes, and delivered them to him at the Depot. These are the facts, and the person who reported that Mr. Cooper had stolen those negroes isa low-bred, thiev ish, contemptible liar and scoundrel. It has also been reported that those two negroes were sent off to pay a gambling debt. The author of this re port is a base slanderer, and beneath the notice of a gen tleman.
