Convention of Israelites.

an address, stating the basis and objects
of the proposed union, was referred to a
committee, and after an animated discus
sion, the convention adjourned till next
evening.
Municipal Election.
Below we give in full the result of the
Municipal election last Saturday. It is
due to several gentlemen whoso names
appear among the list of candidates, to
say that they were not consulted with re
gard to entering the canvass, and took no
part whatever in the contest. Col. John
Quin, the veteran of the Fifth Ward, met
a strong opponent in Mr. Van Marcus,
and came near losing the day. It was
not his desire to run for the office, as he
had served long enough, and preferred
the mantle should fall on younger shoul
ders. For the ensuing municipal year
the city has made choice of an excellent
Board of Aldermen—the result could not
have beeu otherwise, with so much and
good material from which to make a se
lection. The difficulty was iu making a
choice. As to the Mayoralty, there were
Col. Tenille, and William Perry aud W. S.
Halstead, Esqs., all three competent and
excellent gentlemen, any one of whom
would have made an successor to
our worthy and popular friend, ex-Mayor
Wilkins, who, in his retirement, justly
merits the plaudit, *‘well done,” &c. The
Mayor elect is a worthy gentlemen, is
conversant with the affairs of the city for
years past, and will without doubt fill the
office with credit to himself and useful
ness to the city.

Warlike Enthusiasm in Spain.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times furnishes the following extracts
from a private letter from San Sebastian,
describing the warlike enthusiasm aroused
in Spain by the proclamation of war
against the Moors:
Nobody here thinks of anything what
ever but war. You cannot think how ex
cited the public mind is. Do you know
wc are going to have conscriptions one of
these days. The three Basque Provinces
(Guipuzcoa, Alava, and Biscay) have of
fered, on their own account, lo the gov
ernment 4,000,000 reals (£40,000,) to be
paid at once, and 3,000 men, armed,
equipped, &c. : as, probably, there will
not be volunteers enough, there will be
forced enrollments from the age of eigh
teen to sixty among the Basques. This
legion will place itse'f under the com
mand of a general, if possible a Basque
also. The case is urgent; after various
conferences an extraordinary meeting is
forthwith to be held of the general Jun
tas, in order to settle these four impor
tant points—the mode of raising the levy;
how the legion will be transported to the
theatre of the war; what uniform they
will wear; and to decree the adoption of
the red boinu (flat cap,) that they may be
distinguished from the Moors. The death
of poor Barcaiztigny, of cholera, at Al
gesiras, has, in some few instances, cooled
a little the warlike ardor.
The ladies are employed in making
bandages, lint, &c. ; those of Vittoria set
them the example. The ladies of Murcia
have volunteered their services for the
hospitals. Others have opened subscrip
tions for pawn offices. Throughout the
whole of Spain there is an enthusiasm
difficult to describe. Barcelona offers a
battalion on its own account, a brigade of
mules, and everything necessary for a
hospital. Private subscriptions are pro
posed ; the employees give up their pay
to the Government as long as the war
lasts. It is said that the Duke of Ossuna
is to raise a battalion at his own expense.
In fact, I should never finish if I were to
describe the aidor manifested to contrib
ute, directly or indirectly, to the war;
and how every one does his best to insure
success. Last week San Sebastian was
turned into a military camp; 4,000 men,
as you are probably aware, have already
embarked for Cadiz. When propositions
of peace were spoken of, the soldiers were
furious, but were overjoyed at leaving for
Cadiz, as they were then certain of war.
They were followed by an immense crowd
of people to the quays. But what will it
be when the Cautabrian Legion leaves?
It will be for many at home a day of des
olation.
Protest.
Fifty-two Democratic members of the
Legislature publish a card in the Federal
Union of Saturday, protesting against the
action of th£ Democratic meeting at Mil
ledgeville, and denying its authority to
appoint delegates to the Charleston Con
vention. Among the names annexed to
the card we observe those of our immedi
ate representatives, Messrs. Dixon and
Williams.
Georgia Legislature.
Pursuant to adjournment the Senate
met on the Bth. Amoug other proceed
ings Mr. King, of Glynn, said he had
been solicited by some of the cotton
manufacturers of Europe, to bring their
proposition before the State. They pro
pose to employ a large amount of capi
tal in developing the agricultural and
mineral resources of the South. He
would offer a resolution that the State
appoint a commissioner on her part, to
act with the two appointed by the Cotton
Planter’s Convention to sail to Europe,
and see what arrangements could be
made to carry out that desigD. The
x-esolution was on motion of Mr. King,
referred to the committee on agriculture.
Among the bills on their passage were:
A bill to declare the meaning of an
Act exempting from levy and sale, cer
tain articles mentioned in the Act of
1857. Passed.
A bill to alter and amend the laws now
existing in reference to the Supreme
Court. Passed.
A bill to authorize a testator or testa
trix to make an inventory of his or her
estate, to supersede an appraisement and
inventory now required by law. Passed.
The House adopted the section allow
ing $3,000 per annum to Messrs. Erwin,
Cobb and Clark, while preparing the
Code, aud $1,300 per annum to Col. De-
Graffenreid, their Secretary, not to ex
ceed two years.
The House adopted the section allow
ing $7 per day to the President
of the Senate and the Speaker of the
House of Representatives, and $6 per
day to the members, with $4 for ev<.ry
twenty miles of travel in coming to and
returning from the seat of Government.
By a vote of 86 to 55, the House

Ilartridge, appropriating $75,000 to be
applied by the Governor for the purchase
of arms for the equipment of
teers, &c.

Miggisglppt Resolutions.
In the Senatorial branch of the Missis
sippi Legislature, the following resolu
tions were introduced by Mr. McNeil,
from the Joiut Committee on State aud
Federal Relations:
1. Resolved , by the Legislature of the Slate
of Mississippi, Thai unJer the Constitution
of the United States, the Government
created by it cannot, nor can any tribunal
acting under its authority, whether it be
legislative, executive, or judicial, within
its appropriate sphere, justly withhold
from the owners of slaves that adequate
protection for their slave property to
which owners of property of other kinds
are entitled, or which, from its nature,
they may further require to secure thc-m
in its possession and enjoyment.
2. That the election of a President of
the United States by the votes of one sec
tion of the Union only, on the ground
that there exists an irreconcilable conflict
between the two sections, in reference to
their respective systems of labor, and
with an avowed purpose of hostility to
the institution of slavery as it exists in
the Southern States, and as recognized by
the compact of union, would so threaten
the destruction of the ends for which
the Constitution was formed, as to justify
the slaveholding States iu taking counsel
for their separate protection and safety.
3. That upon the happening if such
contingency. the Governor of this State
be requested to convene the Legislature
in extraordinary session, in case other
slaveholding States shall have indicated a
willingness to confer with Mississippi in
regard to the measures to be adopted for
the maintenance of their rights, Qr in
case he should deem it necessary to pro
vide for the public safety.
4. That the Governor of this State be
requested to transinii a copy of these
resolutions to the Governors of each of
the slaveholdiug States of the Union to
be laid before their respective Legisla
tures, and invite their co-operation.
Chattanooga Markets, &c
The Chattanooga Advertiser, of the
Bth, says heavy rains have fallen, and
streams are rolling at high water mark—
river on good tide, with prospects of
booming river trade. As yet we can re
port no transaction of any importance.
Demands for the South are springing up,
and we hear of no little inquiry for
grains aud produce. All articles of a
marketable character have received an
upward tendency since our last report—
demand ahead of supply. Wheat, a good
article of red, would readily command
$1 15—small lots have been taken at
that figure. Our best intelligence is that
there is but little wheat in the country.
Flour, stocks light but quoted superfine
extra $3 25 per sack by quantity on an
upward slide. Corn, few arrivals—a
good article would command GO cents
promptly—farmers may be sure of this
figure unless prices in foreign markets
decline rapidly. Hogs, held too high for
buyers here—several lots have passed on
South—Chandler & McCamy have killed
about 1000 for private parties. Irish
potatoes worth 40 cents. Apples §1 25
to §1 50.
The Milletlgeville Convention,
The Democratic Convention met at Mil
ledgeville Thursday. Mr. Seward, of
Thomas, recommended the Hon. Howell
Cobb as the only man who could defeat
Douglas. The committee appointed to
report business for the meeting, reported
a resolution presenting Mr. Cobb’s ciaims
for the Presidency to the Charleston Con
vention, which was adopted. A special

Saturday, gives the following list of dele

Montgomery and Union Springs Rail
Road.
We learn from Mr. John M. Frazer,
just returned from Charleston, where he
bad accompanied Qapt. Seale, the Presi
dent, who visited that city for the purpose
of purchasing negroes for the Montgom
ery and Union Springs Rail Road, that
thej 7 have effected a purchase of forty
eight likely uegroes, all of whom, except
ing eight or ten infants, are excellent
working hands. It will be remembered
that Capt. Seale had previously purchased
and sent home forty, which number ar
rived in Montgomery about the 4th or sth
inst, making in all eighty-eight that have
been purchased for the Company by Capt.
Seale.
Wills Valley Rail Boad.
The Chattanooga Advertiser of the Bth
inst. says: “Some twenty miles of this
Road is now graded, commencing at the
off shoot from Nashville Road, and run
ning down the Valley, aDd ready for iron.
Contracts for getting out cross-ties are
being let preparatory to track laying the
coming season. The company is entering
into arrangements for the purchase of
iron. The prospects of State aid from
both Georgia and Alabama are very flat
tering, which, if realized, will put this
Road upon as solid a footing as any Road
in the Southern country.”

Florida Legislature.
This body met%t Tallahassee on the
30th ultimo, but adjourned, for want of a
quorum, to the Ist inst. The correspond
ent of the Pensacola Observer writes :
I am told that probably the most ex
citing subject before us will be the settle
ment of a dispute between the Jackson
ville and the Pensacola and Georgia com
panies, as to their respective quota of
laDd.
The Governor’s Message, I understand,
will show forth the near approach of re
pudiation, unless the bond holders will
consent to surrender them for land, and
in that case the dear public will find that
they have been egregiously humbugged
out of the magnificent donation made to
them by Congress, while they are left to
pay taxes for the support of Government,
Reported Discovery of Arms.
Some lit tie .stir has been created in this
county by the report that a number of
Sharp’s rifles bad been found secreted in
the woods. Taken in connection with the
anonymous letter received by Gov. Pettus
from this county, informing him that a
negro insurrection was contemplated
about Christmas, this report has caused
some little uneasiness. We deem it best
to notice this matter at once, in order to
allay any undue excitement. The report
is founded on anonymous letters, which
should be received with great caution.
As to the finding of arms, we do Dot be
lieve a word of it, and will not believe it
until we see some of the guns, or at least
see someone who has seen them.— Viclcs

The steamship Persia arrived to day,
bringing dates from Liverpool to the 26th
ultimo.
Liverpool Cotton Market. —The Persia’s

ton for the week. There was little in
quiry and prices were weak, but quota
tions remained the same as at the sailing
of the Edinburgh. Middling Orleans

Additional by the Persia.
New York, Dec. B.—The steamship
Nova Scotian arrived out on the 24th of
November, and the Arago ans Jason on
the 25th.
The sales of cotton in Liverpool for the
week readied 38,600 bales, of which
speculators took 1.200 aud exporters
5,500 bales. There was little iuquiry,
and prices were feeble and irregular.
The sales on Friday reached 6,000 bales,
of which speculators and exporters took
1,000 bales, and the market closed quiet.
The following are the authorised quota

The stock of cotton in Liverpool was
425,000 bales, of which 267,000 arc
American.
Manchester advices were favorable, but
the demapd was quiet. Holders, howev
er, were firm, at full prices.
At Havre. Orleans Tres Ordinaire was
quoted at 113f., and Bas at 108f. The
market advanced from 2 to 6 francs at
the opening, owing to the scarcity of de
siradle qualities, but closed nominal, un
der the influence of arrivals. The sales
of the week were 4,000, and the stock on
hand 33,000 baies.
At London, consols closed at 9GJ to 96£
for money, and 96J to 96| for account.
The bullion in the Bank of England has
increased £125,000. The money market
was easy and unchanged.
James Hewitt & Co.’s Circular, dated
Liverpool, Friday evening, Nov. 25th,
says: •
The market has been dull during the
entire week, the sales being smaller thau
for some time past. Under the influence
of a very moderate demand, coupled with
considerable disposition on the part of
holders to realize, prices have exhibited
a steadily yielding tendency, the market
closing flat, at a slight reduction upon
last week’s quotations for Orleans and
Mobile, while Uplands, being rather
pi-essed for sale, have declined about £
per lb. The bette” descriptions remain
ing absolutely scarce, continue to com
mand prices relatively much above the
common qualities, which are still depress
ed and nominal in value. We quote :

The Imports this week have been

spinners. The Trade have taken 31,000.
Speculators 1,000, and Exporters 6,000
bales. To-day 6,000 bales were sold—
the market closing dull.
At Manchester undiminished prosperity
continues to mark the progress of busi
ness in Manufactured Goods. Prices
have agaiu slightly advanced, but trans
actions are rather limited inconsequence
of the scarcity of Cloths and Yarns on
the spot, as well as by the impossibility
of getting orders executed in any rea
sonable time. Late telegrams bring fa
vorable advices from East India and Chi

buyers of shipments to arrive.
Congressional.
Washington, Dee. 7. —There was an
exciting debate in both Houses to-day.
A second ballot for Speaker resulted in
no choice. No ultra Black Republican
can be elected. Sherman lacks nine votes
to elect, although four Democrats are ab
SQUt
Washington, Dec. B.—lu the Senate
to-day, Mr; Slidell gave notice of a bill
making an appropriation to facilitate ne
gotiations for the acquisition of Cuba.
A spirited debate was continued on Mr.
Mason’s resolution.
The Senate has adjourned until Monday.
In the House, the discussion was con
tinued on Mr. Clark’s resolution.
There was no vote taken for Speaker.
Washington, Dec. 9. —The Senate was
not in session.
In the House, party politics was fully
and acrimoniously discussed. John A.
Logan and Isaac N. Morris, of Illinois,
anti-Lecomptou Democrats, showed the
falsity of the charge that the Hon. S. A.
Douglas had colluded with Horace Gree
ly to effect Douglas’ re-election to the
United Stales Senate.
Mr. Logan said that Wm. Kellogg,
of Illinois, Republican, who inade the
charge, had sneaked away like a spaniel,
when called on to produce his proof.
Mr. Kellogg advanced towards Mr. Lo
gan, in a bellicose attitude.
Mr. Logan squared himself for a fight.
The intervention of members prevented
an altercation ; but for a few minutes the
greatest possible excitement prevailed.—*
After order was restored, the call for a
ballot for Speaker was made with the fol
lowing result:
John Sherman, Ohio. Rep., 110

It requires one hundred and sixteen to
secure an election, and as neither receiv
ed that number the House adjourned.
Washington, Dec. 10—The Senate
was not in session to-day.
In the House, Mr. Hickman, of Penn.,
endeavored to have a resolution adopted
to elect Speaker, and other officers, by
the plurality rule. The effort was char
acterised as a plan to enable certain gen
tlemen to elect a Republican Speaker by
indirect means. A warm debate ensued.
Mr. Curry, of Ala., made a speech in
defence of the South, and said if W. H.
Seward is elected President, in 18G0, on
a purely sectional platform, the time will
have come for a political disrupture of
the Union.
Mr. Miles, of South Carolina, during
the debate said he was a sectional man,
and owed his first allegiance to South
Carolina. When a sectional party was
in existence at the North, who could
blame the South for assuming a sectional
attitude ? Like begets like, and they

Washington, Dec., 6 —The excite

general apprehension that powder is ly

Columbia, Dec. 9.— ln the Senate, in
Committee of the Whole, Mr. Hampton,
of Richland, spoke happily and well in
reply to the resolutions from the Commit
tee, that the re opening of the African
slave trade is impracticable, inexpedient
and mischievous. As an issue, he argued
it was unconstitutional —an issue in which
the South is divided, and absurd in the
face of Northern sentiment and power;
not an issue of disunion, but one to par
alyze the South. lie had not believed
the Union would be dissolved, but lie re
gretted, now, to believe there was good
reason for it, which nothing but a radical
change in the political, moral and religi
ous tone of the North could or should
prevent. He thought the slave trade
would be injurious, and was immoral;
but, for unanimity, he would be satisfied
with the resolutions of the Committee.
Mr. Bryan, of St. John’s Colleton, re
plied. Opinion had changed as to the
constitutionality of the question. He
believed prohibition unconstitutional.
He was not for dividing the Souta, but
believed it intolerant in the Senate to ex
press opinion against agitating this issue.
The Duke of Cambridge, commander
iu chief of the British army, has just is
sued an order which is virtually an abo
lition of the punishment of flogging here
tofore much practised in the service.
The soldiers on entering the service are
to be classified in two classes, in the first
of which they will not be liable to cor
poral punishment except for aggravated
mutinous conduct in time of war. They
will continue in the first class, unless
they commit certain crimes, for which
they will be degraded to the second class,
in which they inay be subjected to cor
poral punishment. Uninterrupted good
conduct for a year will transfer a soldier
for the second time to the first class.
The plan is ingenious and seems likely
to accomplish its purpose and put an cud
to flogging, except for aggravated offen
ces committed by the incorrigible.

Federal Affairs in the South Caro
lina Legislature.
A special dispatch, to the Charleston
Courier, says:
The Committee on Federal relations,
to whom was referred that portion of
Gov. Gist’s message referring to those
matters, offered two reports—a majority
and minority report. The majority stand
onr the ordinance of 1852, seeking co
operation. They make common cause
with Virginia, and recommend the ap
propriation of a contingent fund in the
hands of the Executive.
The minority assert that South Caro
lina will aid Southern States in or out of
the Union, and recommend that the mili
tary fund be increased.
Cannon Foundry in tire South.
A paragraph is going the rounds of the
Southern papers, stating that there is no
foundry for cannon in the South. In this
very city there is the best canoon found
ry in America, at which the Cnited States
has the largest and best cannon cast for
its navy—among them the famous Dal
grhen guns. An officer of the U. S. Na
vy is placed at this station, to test the
cannon made at Anderson’s foundry, and
such is the excellence of the Virginia
iron, and such the admirable character
of the construction, that the powder has
yet to be manufactured that will burst
them. They have been subjected to the
severest tests ever known in the trial of
cannon, and not one of them has ever
burst.— Rich. Dispatch.

through the different apartments by a

Throughout, the arrangements are de j

to the comfort of gue-sts. The parlors j
arc very handsomely furnished, and so
are the private rooms, which are tilt} - j
eight in number. Connected with the
Hotel is a room upon the ground floor de
signed for a t ar room and billiard tables
for the accommodation of ‘’knights of tiic

rangements deserves special mention. We
allude to the apparatus for lighting the
building with gas, and supplying the differ
ent apartments with water, all of which
were supplied and put up in superior and
workmanlike style by D. L. Thompson &
Cos., of this city. Each room is furnished
with a marble slab and wash basin, aud
by an ingenious but simple arrangement
of the patent water pipes, the desired
quantity of watev can be supplied at any
moment. A further addition is being
made to the building, by which it will be
supplied with baths of any desired tem
perature. The building in flects credit on

when lully completed will be an ..rna

- J. 11. Ingraham, in an article en
titled “ Habits of Literary Composers,
published in the October Lotus, says of
newspaper editors :
“Editors are probably .the most self
poised and remarkable literary men.
They not only write without the privacy
literary men so covet, but in the midst ol
confusion, questions, the roar of drays,
the annoyance of copy-boys, the pres
sure of proofs awaiting them, and half
the time feeling that they have nothing
to write ! not an idea in their head; yet
write th y must, or their paper goes
forth without that editorial sign-manual,
‘A Leader.’ Who ever knew an editor
to tie ‘private ?’ Everybody has a right
to come to him and interrupt him. I
often marvel at the fine writing I so often
see in editorial columns, when I know
under what unfavorable circumstances it
lias been composed ; circumstances that
would drive some sensitive men of gen.us
to despair.
“A daily editor is a wonder in the
world of letters. Every day he must
find a new subject, and write upon it in
an attractive way, and handle it with
judgmsnt, good sense and tact, if he
wishes to influence by it. a single mind.
I would rather write up six volumes a
year than yrritc up a daily paper. The
labor to mind and body would be far
less, and then a man may get some repu
tation by a book, but rarely by fugitive
newspaper editorials.”
