STOPPING THE SUPPLIES. Some of our provision inen were notified from St. Louis yesterday, that no more credit would be extended to Georgia customers for grain or prot isions. The reason assigned was that Georgia was going so far out of the Union that remittances might never reach St. Louis from that distance. That is right. Put us all •i the « ash system, gentlemen, and it is the thing needed to till our pockets. A plant ,.l mntry has no business with credit, and Ranters stand very much in their own light a :ii-ii th<y ask it. All that the South has ev er m ued to enable her to roll in wealth is the practical application of John Randolph’s Phi •pher's Stone ‘‘Pay as you go.” We would ' glad to know that no ‘Southern man could get a penny’s credit in any other part of the world for the next hundred years. POSH IUN OF THE CONSTITUTIONALIST. H’e are glad to sec from the subjoined, that that time honored and influential journal, the V s’a <',.ut Nationalist, is decidedly in favor State a. tii n. This fact will consolidate pub- < pinion in that section of the State where : v t'ovstitntionnlist, circulates most largely, * I contribute vastly to making Georgian unit, i oinmenting upon Mr. Stephens’ speech, the .-’.ttt- ‘ttim.alist says: "Aiivthing emanating from Mr. Stephenswill ><• n .d with interest, and at this exciting time, *q ■ ch from him wll be sought with avidity. We, therefore, lay his late speech at Milledge '.vG i tre our readers. But we are compelled ; r from him as to the feasibility of his - rof any plans to save the Union. The ic’h m of the two sections. North and x ill, is radical and incurable. The South - ' ihi take care of herself by establishing a rnment of her own. Let Georgia so act as > make the South a unit, avoiding alike need " <i< lay, and undue precipitancy. \ SURPRISE*MOVEMENT. Vsurday afternoon, as the compositors in ;r the? were quietly at work, upon a con ■ ’<>l signal, they dropped their sticks and r - u-d towards our Foreman, who in the sur- I r; ' t the moment, hardly knew w hether it “ a: < oj- secession movement, and be lie could arrange for co-ercion, defence or : : «t, one of their number mounted a chair * • addiessed him as follows—-at the same presenting him a case containing a pair of g.>ld spectacles: 'I: J. Joseph Homies: It is with pleasure that 1 present you, half of the Compositors of the Georgia -"aph Office, over which you have for such * - period kept a supervising eye, this small ’ iof their appreciation of your character as - tieman, and of your kind and courteous k inent as their Foreman. Should they he " rviee to you. the donors will feel amply awarded.” I • which Mr. Hodges replied, as follows: '' . f/< wa Comporifcsra .—lt i s with feelings of grateful surprise that 1 receive this memen t vs your friendship. 1 am now in my sis . teenth year of service in the office of the Geor- -a Telegraph, and while I recognize in your number some to whom I first learned the * • are now doing full service, and others nativity ranges from the sunny leldsof ur beloved Georgia to the sterile rock-bound ures of New England, in all I find friends * uom I shall ever be happy to associate with »nd employ. I accept your present with the ~t wishes for your prospertv. FIRE IN* ALBANY. " e are sorry to learn from an extra of the 1 ' • Patriot of Monday, that that place has '-i n --een visited by fire. The Patriot says : ‘ liter our City Guard had reported thein- ' an d been discharged from duty between ught and sunrise this mornirg, a fire was ' >vered in the rear of the office owned and •upied by Mr. Shaw, as Agent of Adam's Ex- * Company, and as a Carriage Reposity. rom this office the Hames communicated to the . • Yard of Mr. Butler on the North, and - the two Brick Store Houses of Messrs. Grass ' ienback on the South, from thence to the ‘-I Wo*wien tenements owned by Messrs. Hill, right 4 Marshall, and used by them as a Car <ge Repository Ibe loss falls most heavily p m Mr. Shaw, as he saved nothing in his of :.-e and Repository. His Voss is several thous and dollars. Messrs. Grass 4 Bridenback's is also laige; they having only two thous and dollars insured. Messrs. Hill 4 Co., have •.lin suffered severely by loss. Mr. Butler’s “ is small. 1 :.e fire was beyond doubt, the work of an • ndiary, as the building in which it was first w vered. had neither a fire-place or stove con - ted with it The actual loss of the parties ’ j;w and above insurance, is between twelve thirteen thousand dollars. THE PANIC. Appeal to the People and the X»egislature. The Georgia Banks are in a perfectly solvent ; condition—our marts are crowded with produce i as good as gold, and yet every body is groaning i over tight times. What is thecause, and where I lies the remedy f The difficulty lies in the want of money to : move the cotton crop. The crop cannot go for- I ward to market —there is nobody able to buy it and put it in motion, to the North and to Europe. If that could be done there is no reason why ' times should be very tight. We might not be so flush as last year, but still there is cotton enough to make things comfortable. But why is money so scarce that it cannot be had even for the safest of all employments—that of transfering cotton to a market? There are I two co-operative reasons for the scarcity of money—the first lending the second all its ex treme urgency. First, a silly panic affeets some planters, grow ing, in part, out of the uncertainty of our politi ■ cal relations. They don’t know what is coming, and many of them, whenever they sell their cot ! ton, go to the banks for the specie and carry it all home with them, instead of taking the bank bills and paying their debts and retaining the ! remainder. In this way they cramp the banks and compel them to keep always prepared for a run—deny them all chance to let out their money on cotton bills "so that cotton can be sold and j sent to market There is no apology for this course, either in the condition of the banks or of the times. The banks, since the suspension of 1857, have kept their affairs only a little too snug for public comfort, and what sensible plan i ter apprehends a state of affairs, at the very I worst, in which cotton will not return him a fair reward for his labor ? The planting inter est is the one, of all others, least likely to suffer fi’om any possible political disturbance; and planters, in weakly yielding to their fears and hoarding up specie, are practically aiding the Black Republicans to harrass and embarrass the South. Away with such a cowardly, dishonest and selfish policy. No true Southern man ought to give it the least countenance. But it is probable this distrustful and selfish | course would not so seriously cripple the Banks, did they not feel their necks in a halter from | the stringent legislation of 1857. i his con signs them all to ruin irretrievable as the pen alty of a failure to redeem their bills on de mand. How, then, can they run the slighest risk in a time of general distrust * 'They must keep out of all possible danger. They cannot employ their assets even in the perfectly secure and legitimate way of discounting cotton bills, because they would be liable to a run at any moment while bills are maturing, What is to be done? We ask the Legisla ture what is to be done ? The business of the country is at a stand still in the midst of plen ty. Not a bale of cotton has been sold in Ma con since last Friday. In Savannah, we hear, a perfect paralysis afflicts business, and cotton buyers have actually been compelled to pay by a surrender of their own cotton bills. What is to be done ? We say repeal the penalties of 1857, or authorize the banks to suspend, under safe and proper conditions. This we believe, would lift the incubus and set things moving again. Cadets of the Georgia military Institute* The Cadets, under Major Capers, arrived in this city on yesterday morning, at 7 o'clock, en route for Milledgeville. They were received at the Depot by the Macon Volunteers, Capt. R. A. Smith, who gave them a cordial welcome and an invitation to breakfast. Major Capers responded on behalf of the Cadets in a brief and felicitous speech, which was received with loud applause by the large crowd of spectators pres ent. The Cadets and Volunteers then partook of an excellent breakfast, at Brown’s Hotel, after which they formed battalion under Capt. Smith and marched into the city. After a short halt the Cadets, under Major Capers, went through Infantry and Light drill in a manner that excited the highest admiration of our citizens and Mili tary. In the exercise of the bayonet, a detach ment of them elicited much and well deserved praise. The Cadets are an ornament to the State and reflect credit upon the Superintendent and other officers of the Institute. We again bespeak the fostering care of the State in behalf of the Institute, and that it may be put on a war footing by the present Legislature. The Cadets were escorted to the Depot by the Volunteers to whom Major Capers returned grateful ac knowledgements in a parting speech, and for whom the Cadets gave three hearty cheers.— The Volunteers returned the cheers in good style of course. The Cadets left, for Milledgeville at 10 A. M. and we wish them a good time at the Capital. MACON VOLUNTEERS. We were very much gratified to see this, the old est corps of our city, under CapL Smith, turning out promptly as “Minute Men” on yesterday morning, to receive and welcome the Cadets of the Military Institute with becoming hospitality. They were ready on this as on all other occa sions, to extend appropriate civilities to the Mil itary. visiting or passing through our city.— Had there been any need for it, any other Vol unteer Corps of the city would have promptly extended the same welcome and hospitality to the Cadets. After the departure of the Cadets the Volunteers had a parade of an hour, on Mulberry street, showing the corps to be in good condition and excellent drill. We hope that this and every other corps in the city may I increase largely in numbers and efficiency. MEETING IN KNOXVILLE. A great meeting of the people of Crawford county will take place at the Court House in Knoxville next Saturday at 12 M., to express the views'of that county on the late election. TAYLOR COUNTY MEETING. Taylor county, it will be seen, has passed resolutions for acquiscenee in the administra tion of Lincoln—the first county in Georgia which has taken that position. The Holman Thocpe.—We are advised from Atlanta, where this Troupe is now engaged, that it will shortly appear in Macon and give a se ries of parlor dramatic entertainments. The Atlanta press speak highly of the Troupe. WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 21, 1860. SOWING DISCORD. W e understand distinctly from various sources that the proposition acceded to by leading men, representing all parties in Georgia, summoned at Milledgeville by the House committee on Fed eral Relations, was that there should be no union or disunion party in Georgia in the can vass for delegates to the convention of the peo ple. These gentlemen wisely apprehended this result from such a division : a bitter and pro scriptive canvass which would distract the State and cripple her energies, and present a minority in the attitude of aiding the common foe. They saw that a ‘•'Union, party,” in the present atti tude of public affairs, must be a deceptive and degrading misnomer ; that every true Georgian must at least contemplate some kind or degree of resistance to the avowed designs of the Black • Republican administration; and it seemed to them, as it certainly appears reasonable to us, that every such man should be willing to stand to and abide by the mode and measure of resis tance, which a grand council of the people se lected without distinction of party, and with a careful reference to their abilities and character, should determine upon after a careful investiga tion of all the facts and circumstances then be fore them, and submitted to their unpledged de cision. It was also wisely considered that in determi ning the proper course of the State in the premises, much would depend, not only on facts and circumstances in process of evolution, but upon the attitude of sister States all around us, upon which a judgment could not be had with absolute certainty by the people, and that, therefore, the members of the Convention ought to be vested with a large discretionary pow’er, and not be bound down by previous pledges, either to secede or not to secede, with out reference to anything which might occur, immediately before or during their session, which might throw light upon their course,and without reference to the action of sister states, equal compromitted with our own to the neces sity of some remedial action, and equally in volved in the common peril. It was in these views of the necessities and proprieties of the case, that the People of Geor gia seem to have hailed with a remarkable de gree of satisfaction and unanimity the proposi tions considered andendorsed by the Committee of the House on Federal Relations, responsive to their call made under the same weighty con siderations. We are amazed, then, to read the following anonymous outgiving from Milledgeville in the Chronicle 4 Sentinel of yesterday : TO THE UNION PARTY OF GEORGIA. Milledgeville, Nov. 19th. “ The agreement here, to call a Convention of the people, with such unanimity, is not with any view not to make a party question. On the contrary, that was the very design of it. I do not mean a party question on the old lines, but for the purpose of getting the sense of the people on the new 7 and great issue that over rides all others. You cannot get the sense of the people without voting for men who agree with you. “ VV'hen the Legislature met, many of the Breckenridge men were moving everything to have secession passed by the Legislature, and the Union men of all parties were for calling a Convention. The secessionists, finding they would be beaten, came into the measure of a Convention, rather than be defeated by the Legislature* “ A large majority of the people are for Union, and they must not allow themselves to be cheated out of their wishes. And if you do not put up and vote for sterling Union men, and them only, the Convention, will, contrary to the wishes of two thirds of the people, de clare for secession. Beware, or you are lost.” DECISION. Now we undertake to say that the whole of the foregoing is a piece of mere Jesuitism — totally misrepresenting the views expressed in the committee’s call under which the Compro mise Convention Bill originated. The object of that call was thus expressed by the committee: to “unite among yourselves [as the represen tatives of various political parties] in the recom mendation of some line of policy which will save us our honor and our rights, and which will save our people from further dissentions among themselves and from all the sad consequences of such dissentioiis.” The conunittee tell these gentlemen that if they will agree,their policy will be adopted by the Legislature and approved by the people ; but if they fail to agree, the dis sentions and asperities which have heretofore divided the people will grow worse. The great idea of the Committee—an idea sanctioned and endorsed by these leading rep resentatives of all parties in Georgia—was to forestall a popular issue which might lead to great exasperation—and to refer the whole ques tion of remedies to the arbitrament of the Con vention itself. Shall these patriotic purposes be defeated ? We say not with our consent; but if] in spite of it, factious men are disposed to make a popular fight in order to commit the Convention against secession in any event, we shall not fear to meet them. They will find themselves in an overwhelming minority, and will practically accomplish just the reverse of what they propose to do. Correspondence of the Telegraph. Fort Valley, Nov. 19th, 1860. Mk. Editor :—lt seems that my communica tion sometime since, in regard to the insurrec tion in Crawford county, has created quite a fu ror and it all falls upon my head. Allow me to say through your paper to those interested, that the article from myself was die- ■ tated by Mr. Robert Wright [“Mr. W.”J former- : ly from Crawford now of Houston county. He . is a gentleman of undoubted veracity and of high standing, a son of Col. Stephen Wright of ! Crawford. In my article there was no intention by my ' self, or informant, to do injustice to any man, be he innocent or guilty. I wrote the statement ! just as it was told me, and believed it as Mr. Wright did, because it was the report current in Knoxville at the time that he (Mr. Wright) left. Some of your correspondents are disposed to advise. With all due courtesy let me tell them to give their advice where it is more needed— I ve an idea it would do much more good at , horae - HENRY W. TRIPPE. Hogs.—We learn that hogs are selling in the ‘ country at 5| cents gross.

Saturday, 17th inst., a respectable portion of the citizens of Taylor County, without party distruction, met at the Court House in Butler. Jeremiah Wilcher and Bennett Stewart presid ed by choice of the assembly. The Secretaries were John A Hamilton and Thomas R. King— chosen in like manner. One of the chairmen— Wilcher—stated that the purpose of the gath ering was to have a common expression of opinion respecting the present aspect of our Federal Relations. On motion of J. 11. Holsey, a committee of five was appointed to report business. The committee were said Holsey, J. T. May, W. P. Edwards, J. T. Gray, and D. W. Miller, —who, after retiring, returned with the following Re port : An attempt is made by certain ambitious politicans to “precipitate” the South into rev olution. They pretend to be alarmed for the safety of slave property in the Union under the administration of a Republican President.— But we believe it is their real purpose, under color of devotion to our common interests, to plunge us into civil war, commercial distress, and the ruin of our liberties, for their own per sonal aggrandizement. In view of this peril, we, the people of Taylor County, of all parlies. 1. Resolved, That we are opposed to the ' secession of our State from the Union for any j cause now existing. 2. Resolved, We cannot countenance the crafty policy of creating a popular rage through the land by the wild and clamorous resolves of “ the cities and large towns.” 3. Resolved, Instead of sophistry and bluster we believe in a manly reliance on the Constitu tion and Laws of our Country,—sustained, as we think they are, by Justice, Truth and God. 4. Resolved, We hold it unbecoming a con ' siderate people to commit themselves to revolu- j tionary resolves in advance of the mischief which is to justify revolutionary action. 5. Resolved, When our Government purpose ly violates the Constitution to the end of op pressing our people, and no remedy appears but an appeal to the Law of Nature, then we are ready to counsel secession and arms, — but not before. wA’? Edwards/ ? la ’ orit - v D. W. Miller. / Committee. J. T. May and J. Holsey made the following minority report. Whereas the election of Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency of the United States with his avowed principles of hostility to the institutions of the South, and whose administration, if not repelled, would prove injurious, if not fatal, to the institution of slavery. Be it therefore — 1. AVw7te(7.,That we earnestly recommend the present Legislature of Georgia, to pass an act fully carrying into effect the retaliatory mea sures recommended by his Excellency, Joseph E. Brown, in his late special message to said Legislature. 2. Resolved, That we cheerfully approve the call of a State Convention, to be held at an ear ly day, for the purpose of considering and de termining the future policy of our State in re gard to her Federal relations, and we hereby agree to cheerfully and willingly abide the de cision of that Convention, and pledge ourselves to assist in giving full force and effect to said decision, whatever it may be, notwithstanding any private opinion we may entertain. 3. Resolved, That we pledge our lives, our property and our sacred honor, not only in the defence of this State, but also that of any South ern State or States that may deem it just and proper, in consequence of Federal aggression, to secede from the Union, and to defend and protect any such State, or States against any interference by the General Government. 4. Resolved, That while we hold that a State has the right to secede from the Union, we deem it impolitic to exercise that right at pre sent—preferring to fight the first battle for our rights in the Union. J. T. MAY. I endorse and recommend all the foregoing minority resolutions, except the last, in lieu of that, I would substitute the following: Resolved, That we.hereby recommend the Convention hereafter to be called, to adopt such decided measures of redress for past wrongs, and for the protection of our honor and rights in future, as in their judgment may be sufficient and politic under existing circum stances. • J. 11. HOLSEY. Messrs. Edwards, Holsey, May and Miller, addressed the meeting. Miller moved that the preamble and resolu tions of the majority committee be put to vote —all together. Carried. He now moved their adoption. Carried by a large majority. Hulsey moved to put the minority resolutions singly. Carried. He now moved the adoption of the first. Rejected. Then the second. Carried.
