A DJ USTM ENT 11 OPEL ESS. W have a daily increasing conviction that worth while for any body to delude with the conceit that harmony between can ever be restored in the Union. I . particular dogma (and it involves every a . io which the Black Republican party is \ i' v committed, is the exclusion of the s trom the common territory ; and this t .re prepared and resolve to insist upon at - izard. Lincoln, Seward, Hale, AVade a . ii re than these, every important Repub . , pre-s, have all recently announced, in one :n or another, that it shall not be sur r« ervd, ami it never will be. Can the - .th ad nit it? Never, while her sons have spirit of freemen. It involves every posi t d eting their equality as citizens and :: y holders under the Constitution, and . ultimate effect, looks directly to the abo- . -l.ivi-ry by the Federal Government.— 8 . pr<>p ry is property under the Constitu i. • -r it s .-it. If it is, then is it entitled to -a;..,- rights and privileges, as all other r ■ rty ; and if it is prescribed of one, by the " authority it may be equally proscribed of a i if we submit to its proscription from rritorie- by the Federal Government, we ; prepire ourselves to submit to its pro . i on in the States. • H fins foundation stone of the Republicans w. ii v t -r be moved. They mean it shall stand *' i.tfi- Union be fractured upon it; and t:.e nly hope of peace for the country now » r sts in an independent poiititical organ - c i. Let it be effected and both sections at r -I. The South, with a line square ■ : - to the Pacific, will be relieved of all ap- ■ ii-iuns of the threatened “suffocation” of S iavery. N "th, w ith a “conscience” released from 1 r. -pon-iibility about slavery, will find her in i' -t in c iltivating anew those friendly rela- - i h once su’ listed het veen the sections. ' : • mu-t take her position as a suitor for South- ■rn trade in rivalry with the European coun ■.ries, ai: I our ,-t■ urity for her good behavior <>.- foim ! in her own interests, business and - cial. She <-an t afford to feed and harbor run iwjy> to any great extent, and her philanthro- ■ y will languish when it comes to be exercised at her own cost We believe it is true, in refer eH • to the divided churches, that both sides ' ire got along better since the division, than he re—it is certainly true with reference to the afiern churches. So will it probably be af r a political division. The two sections will e more harmoniously as neighbors, with inde- pen lent nterests, than as members of the same family. ‘ M. M ’ DEMONSTRATION. Th. Minute Men Battalion are to have a pr- 1 parade on Monday night. The Battalion w ’> I assemble in front of the Lanier House, in : • 1 regalia, with transparencies, banners, <fcc., will proceed from thence to the Fair Ground, U if speeches will be delivered by several dis mguished orators. The ladies, especially, and ‘ •-it zens generally, are respectfully invited to attend. A SERIOUS INCONVENIENCE It is & source of serious annoyance to the unity that our banks throw out v nth Carolina money. Why should they do it? • '• Alabama Banks, as we are informed, re c‘ v t - Georgia and Carolina money on deposit, *nd it does appear to us in the light of adding ant-e Hess turn of the screw to an already strin g it money pressure, to throw out of credit the considerable amount of Carolina money now in circulation among us. OUR TRIAL TRIP.. | Yesterday evening we donned the “ soger’s” clothes, and sought the Armory of that veteran corps, the Floyd Rifles, where we were duly in stalled into the ranks, to make our first parade i before the eyes of the Macon public. “ Shoul der arms;’ ‘carry arms,’ &c., &c., were all done; well, “ proclaim it not from the house-tops;” I suffice it to say, that the long dormant military ardor (?) is fully aroused, and visions of Se | cession Ordinances and zigzag approaches upon I Charleston, are constantly flitting before our imaginative fancy. Hurra! for Charleston.— Hurra ! for war—“ war in every sense in which the word is defined, or definable.” But stop, J lest our “ vaulting patriotism should o’erleap itself and fall on t’other side.” We do not pro ‘ fess to be adecided military man or in any way dangerous, as one might infer from the forego . ing, but do desire to quote from the ever de scriptive and immortal Bard of Avon, that those who are contemplating an attack against Hie “ soger” may take warning—that He who does these boots misplace, Shall meet Bombastes face to face. [Local. 8188 COUNTY. Bibb is all right! Secession is not only in a large majority already, but it is gaining rap -1 idly, and we shall make a powerful and satis factory demonstration of these facts at the polls i next Wednesday. Let our friends of the sur rounding counties do likewise, and all will be well. HON. THOS. HARDEMAN. Mr. Clisby : —I have observed in your paper of the 24th instant., the remark that it was the street talk that the Hon. Thos. Hardeman “is in favor of secession.” If by this it is meant that he is in favor immediate separate State se cession, I have only to say that it is a mistake. In a dispatch received by me from Mr. Harde- I man, dated at Washington, Dec. 24th, he dis j tinctly defines his position as stated below, and as an act of justice to him and his friends, I re quest that you will publish it in your next pa per. A>ry Respectfully, J. H. R. WASHINGTON. “ The Southern States should not submit.— Separation is unavoidable. If all will not act, co-operate with those who will. Co-operation IS NECESSARY TO PREVENT CIVIL WAR, AND SECURE A DIVISION OF PIB’IIC PROPERTY.” T. HARDEMAN, JR. “TRIBUN E” ON TH EMA CON FA IR. Perhaps nothing can better illustrate the N. Y. Tribune than the comments of its correspon dent on the Cotton Planters’ Fair. It could i not even print a paragraph about such an exhib , ition, without lugging in the negro, and in the I manner and form of a sheer fabrication ; with out a particle of truth, and without a colorable fact to base the statement upon : “The Fair brings a large crowd of strangers into the town, though not nearly so many as was expected. Whereat the hotel-keepers and they who anticipated heavy gains from the rent of narrow beds mourn. Os the talk heard I touching the great tonic of .secession I. will write another day. But 1 must not forget to . mention that, very appropriately, among the | Southern productions on exhibition and sale, a few likely negroes are catalogued. At least we , i infer this from the fact that in the auction sales - advertised for the end of the Fair various lots . of slaves are to be put up, along with Ken tucky kine, horses, and other cattle. Belease of Col. Kudler.—We are pleased to learn from the Mobile Register that Col. Rud -1 r, the second in command of Walker's expe dition, has been pardoned by the authorities of Honduras. This intelligence is conveyed in a letter from Col. Rudler himself, dated Teguci palca Department of Olancho, the 31st of Oc tober, and he adds that he will start for home as soon as arrangements for travelling can be made. He will probably make his home in Mobile. This act of mercy on the part of the liondurians is very gratifying, and we have to thank them for their generosity in the matter. ■ I GREAT EXCITEMENT AND INDIGNA TION. At an early hour yesterday morning, tele graphic advices were received from Charleston, announcing the news of the evacuation of Fort Moultrie, and the demolition of its gun-carriages, , and the spiking of the guns. The intelligence acted like an electric shock on our city, and thrilled through the community like lightning. Groups of citizens might be seen through the streets discussing the matter, and venting their indignation on such a hostile movement. There is but one sentiment on the question, and that is of indignation and resistance. Georgia feels that the cause of Carolina is her cause, and their fate must be the same. If the Federal Government expects to have no State but Caro i lina to coerce into submission, it will find it self wonderfully mistaken. This step has de cided the matter of secession in every Southern State, and nothing less should satisfy them.— We might have been quieted by the adoption of a milder course, but there are none of us so degraded as to submit to be whipped into sub mission. WASHINGTON* NEWS. Washington, Dec. 26.—1 kis not known or believed here that any troops have been order i ed to the forts in Charleston harbor; nor is it the present intention of the Administration to do so. On the contrary, it is asserted that the President believes that such a course would serxe to inflame Southern sentiment, which is particularly to be avoided at the present mo ment. In relation to the affair of the removal of guns from Pittsburg, it appears that the manu | factory had contracted to deliver them, upon • requisition, at certain points. The requisition wis consequently made, and any opposition to or restraint on their delivery by the citizens will enure only to the injury of the contractor, I should the service suffer from the delay. | An address, or recommendation, lias been J prepared by authority to be submitted to the members of Congress from the border slave States for their signatures, requesting their re spective States, by enactment, or otherwise, to appoint Commissioners to meet at Baltimore on the 13th of Februery, 1861, for conference in relation to the secession of the cotton States, [ and desire a programme of action for the bor [ der States in case of such an emergency. It is [ thought, however, that all the members will I not sign it, but still enough from each delega tion to induce a favorable response fronvtheir respective States. Heavy Travel to the Sovth.—The Peters ourg Express says: “The regular trains to the south are daily heavily loaded, with through Passengers, many of whom consist of Northern italists m route for South Carolina and oth er Southern States. A gentleman from the city of New A ork informs us that there are three thousand prominent monied men in that city who are now prepared to coine to the South, having determined upon this course in the event of a dissolution of the Union.” SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 29, 1860. Special Despatch to the Augusta Tree De mocrat. Washington, Dec. 25.—1 have introduced no Union resolutions; voted for none —will vote I for none. Eighteen Northern States proclaim r Lincoln our ruler, the same power will rule us lin Congress. Then comes Abolition Negro Equality and taxation without limit for section al denomination. SAA r E Y’OURSELVES BY PROMPT SEPARATION. THE CAUSE OF SOUTH CAROLINA IS T IE CAUSE OF ALL. Martin J. Crawford. SOUTII CAROLINA AFF A IRS. Charleston, Dec. 26. —It is rumored here that several hundred troops are en-route for the forts in Charleston harbor; it is also ru mored that Fort Sumpter was re-inforced on Sunday last with marines in the disguise of la borers. Postal matters are to continue as formerly. Many foreign ships took out their clearance papers before the 20th mst., and are now load ing; others will probably take out clearances under protest. Many Carolinians say that it is a difficult { matter to untangle the gordon knot of Union, , but as a last resort, they will cut it. The Marines at Fort Sumpter, it is said, ar rived in the ships John Patton from Boston and Middlesex from Bristol, and the bark London I from Boston. GOV. HOUSTON WILL CONVENE THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE. New Orleans, Dec. 25.—Gov. Houston has | consented to convene the Legislature of that | State in extra session, on the 21st of January, i 1861, for the purpose of taking into considera- I tion the present crisis in our National affairs. The State Convention of the people will meet I on 28th January. The secession feeling is in 1 the ascendant. SEWARD SPEAKS IN NEW YORK. New York, Dec. 24.—Senator Seward deliv ered a speech in this city on Saturday last, in which he said that if we would keep cool, calm, and kind, a debate of a friendly nature will ' spring up, which will result in the restoration I of fraternal feelings. Excitement in Pittsburg in Relation to the Removal of Public Arms> Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 25.—There was an in tense excitement here yesterday in-consequence of the intelligence that the Government were ! about to ship from the Alleghany Arsenal one hundred and twenty-four heavy guns for the ' new forts in Texas and at the mouth of the Mis i sissippi river. A meeting will be called to pre j vent the shipment. The Democrats here telegraphed to the Pres ident to rescind the order. It is said that mus kets, shells, balls and cavalry accoutrements , have already been shipped. \\ ashington, Dec. 26. —The War Depart ment will not act in relation to the Pittsburg affair, until official intelligence was received that the transportation of guns to Southern forts I was a recent order, but given in consequence of the approaching completion of the forts named. CHARLESTON NEWS. I Charleston, Dee. 24.—The South Carolina Delegation retired from Congress to-day, and ; expressed the hope that amicable relations would be continued between South Carolina and the other States. ' Gov. Pickens to the ordinance of secession, issued his proclamation proclaim ing to the world that South Carolina is, and has tixerrFigbi. tu w., a separate, sovereign, free and independent State, and as such, has the right to levy war, conclude peace, negotiate treaties, leagues, or covenant, and do all acts whatever that rightfully appertain to a free and independent State. RUMOR OF TROOPS FOR CHARLESTON CONTRADICTED. Washington, Dec. 26.—We hear of no ru mors about troops moving to any point. The on j ly thing of the kind is the statement about four . : hundred sailors en route from Boston to Nor folk to join the Macedonia. EXCITEMENI' IN MISSOURI. St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 26.—Dispatches receiv ed here, state that a mob is engaged in tearing up the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad, to pre vent the extraordinary influx of Northerners into Kansas. GENERAL NEWS BY THE CANADA. A dispatch received at Petersburg says that [ peace has been concluded, and t ic Emperor had | returned to Pekin, but that the Tartar army ■ was still in the field. The dispatch also con firms the sacking of the Emperor's Palace, and i says that some of the private's shares brought j thirty thousand francs. The Canada passed the steamships Africa and | Arabia, bound for Liverpool, outlie 16th. The Earl of Aberdeen is dead. The bombardment of Gaeta had been re commenced. The ship Gormana trom New Orleans, bound to Liverpool, was burnt at sea. Her crew was saved. Garibaldi was making preparations for attack ing Venetia in the spring. The latest advices received at Queenstown, from Italy, state that the Pontificial troops were about to march against Pon tor to overthrow the Provisional Government there. The ratifications of the treaty between the Chinese and the allies were exchanged on thesth JUBILEE IN SAVANNAH. Savannah celebrated the secession of South ■ Carolina last Wednesday evening in such a demonstration as was never before seen in that city. The Neirs says of it: At o’clock the head of the column moved off up Bay Street, greetedjiy most enthusiastic cheering, while the welkin was literally blazing with every imaginable pyrotechnic display over and along the whole line, and singing with the inspiriting strains of the Marseilles, played by two brass bands. Time and space will not allow us to give a full account of the hundreds of transparencies and mottoes ; the bare mention of them would occu py a column of our paper. We shall defer the mention of them until our next issue. One of the most pleasing features of this grand demonstration, was a splendid car, filled with I sixteen beautiful young ladies, typifying the sis- I teen Southern States, and the Goddess of Lib erty, within an arch of evergreen, festooned with flowers, flecks of cotton and rich boquets. There was also another feature at the extreme | end of the line, very different from the last named, but equally significant. It was a car ! riage drawn by four horses with two cotton ’ bales, four pine trees at the corners, and about a dozen members of our peculiar institution, with banjoes in hand, joy in their hearts, and song on their lips. No one in that vast con course of beings seemed so full of delight as these sable sons, singing and making the night uproarious with their wild and rude demonstra , tions. Abolition Felicitations. —Geo. Thompson ' writes from London, congratulating Mr. Garri son upon the triumph just achieved: Lincoln’s election. He says : “ You have to reach forth to the things that are before, pressing towards the object you had in view when starting—the > utter extermination of slavery wherever it may i ’ exist.’’ 1 For the Telegraph. THE CONVENTION. i The object for which the Convention is called being one which so intimately concerns every one of us; its deliberations and decisions in volving the honor and the well-being of the commonwealth of Georgia for all time to come, indifference on our part as to the material of which that Convention shall be composed, would be highly criminal. The Convention is called for the purpose of deciding what Georgia ought to do in the pres ent crisis. It is called together to decide wheth er it is the duty of Georgia to submit to the ad ministration of Mr. Lincoln and the Republican party ;or whether to avoid that—it is her duty to separate herself from the present confedera cy : and if such be her duty, how she is to per form it; whether judging for herself, what, un der the circumstances in which she is placed, it is fit, and becoming she should do? And, ac ting upen her independent convictions of right, she shall announce to the vorld, her fixed de termination to resume her sovereignty, and, in the face of all possible danger, assert and de fend it, leaving the issue, where it of right be longs —in the hand of the sovereign disposer of events: or whether, too diffident of her own wisdom, to judge what duty and honor demand, and too timid to act alone upon her own con victions. she shall hesitate; and falter, and seek the counsel, the countenance, and the assistance of those whom she judges to be involved in a common danger with herself. These among others, equally grave, are the questions which the Convention must decide. Upon its decision, for weal or for woe, for hon or or for disgrace, hangs the fate of Georgia. The position of a member of that Conven tion, involves a responsibility, which is abso lutely appalling! To covet, or to seek the place, is to proclaim one’s self unable to comprehend i its fearful magnitude, and therefore., utterly un ! Jit. to Jill it. He that appreciates its responsi bility, must shrink from assuming it. Would that the people of Georgia could be aroused to a consciousness of this most momentous fact. Iliey would then prow into the service, the most sober, wise and best men that could be found, and they would not dare rej’use to obey the sum mons. South Carolina acted most wisely in this mat ter. She selected the very best men her State afforded. In whatever walk of life they might be found, she summoned them to her council in the hour of her danger: men of age and expe rience; men who had been entrusted with im portant interests in other days, and who had won for themselves a name and influence. It is said that every judge of the State, with two ex ceptions, was called to her Convention. It was said by an eye witness, (a man familiar with the grave assemblies of the country,) that the pres ence of the assembly was awe-inspiring, from the venerable, and grate, and serious aspect oj those who composed it. There was not a man in it under forty years of age. A large propor tion of them were not only men of age, oflearn ing and cf posfticn, kut also, of eertabl.shed rep uUiiicmfor piety. There has not been such an , assemblage called together for many years past —perhaps not since the days of the revolution- Let us seek such men for our Convention.— ■ VV e have such men in our county—we have such men throughout the State: men of age and experience, of enlarged views, and honest hearts, and virtuous lives, and tried patriotism, to whose wisdom we may confidingly trust our safety and our honor. Let us call them forth to serve us now, in our hour of peril. Let every voter at the coming election, go to the polls with something of the awe with which he would approach the altar of God, and carry with him the conviction, that to cast his vote for any one, whom he does not in his own heart believe to be amongst the very wisest and best men whom the county can furnish, would bean act something akin to sacrilige ! Correspondence of the Telegraph. Indian Springs, Dec. 27th, 1860. 1 here was a Secession flag raised at this place on yesterday, on one side of which was . the merchant ship, Georgia, and direct trade, ; with cotton is King. On the other, the snake, with his head in a striking position. Above the snake is inscribed the words, “State so vereignty ;” below, “ don’t tread on me.” It was raised with a patriotic appeal to the citi zens of Butts from the Rev. J. R. Willis to de fend their rights at all hazards, and that seces sion was the only remedy for the South. After which Col. J C J. Bailey was loudly called for, and responds in an eloquent and patriotic speech of about three quarters as an hour, and accepted the nomination as a candidate for the Convention. Col. Bailey is too well-known as a defender of Southern rights to be questioned. The secession ticket will carry the county by about six hundred majority if there is a Union ticket nominated, as they speak of doing. Y’ours, &c., BUTTS. For the Telegraph. CO-OPERATION MEETING SATURDAY NIGHT. The meeting of the “co-operationists” held at Concert Hail on Saturday night, was attended by a '■'•ruther slim" auditory. When the speakers assumed the stand at 15 minutes after 8 o'clock, there were one hundred and two persons in the Hall, nineteen of whom were well known Se cessionists, and fourteen others were youths be tween 12 and 16 years of age. Without doubt a number of the other individuals were among our first citizens, but a great majority of the 71 others may have “a local habitation,” while it would puzzle the “oldest inhabitant" to ascer tain their name. “So endeth the last lesson.” “ A Looker on in Vienna.” The Effect of Secession in New York. OUR NEW YORK DISPATCHES. New A ork, Dec. 21.—1 t is now certain that the President has authorized Maj. Anderson to surrender the Charleston Forts, if any attack should be made. The Abolitionists are attack ing Mr. Buchanan very fiercely, because he re fuses to coerce. They allege that force should be used the moment any attempt is made to prevent the collection of the revenue or to take the forts. The Abolition papers are growing I more savage every day. The effect of the secession of South Carolina I had been partially anticipated. The specie com ing in every day helps matters. Money is un changed. There was an uneasy feeling at the i close. Cotton firmer. Breadstuffs steady.— ( There is much gloom and excitement prevailing. By Electric Telegraph 1 IMPORTANTYrOM WASHINGTON! The Carolina Commissioners de mand the withdrawal of the IT. S.
