Remarks of Mr. Holt, of Ilnscogee,
Oil presenting a set of Resolutions from a
portion of the citizens of Muscogee county
on Federal Relations.
On presenting these resolutions Mr.
Holt said :
Mr. President: I hold in my band a se
ries of resolutions passed by n portion of
the citizens of Muscogee county at a re
cent meeting held in the city of Colum
bus, which I ask to bo road and referred
to the Special Joint Committee on our
Federal Relations.
After tho resolutions had been read at
the Secretary’s table,
Mr. H. proceeded: 1 ask theprivilege,
Mr. President, of briefly giving my rea
sons for the difference of opinion between
myself and that portion ottho citizens of
Muscogee who have sent up those reso
lutions to me, to be presented to this
body.
Mr. Lawton, of Chatham. I ask the
same privilege of giving my views on the
resolutions I offered from the citizens of
Chatham.
Mr. H. I accord the same privilege to
the gentleman and doubt not the Senate
will grant his request. Mr. President, it
is a delicate position to differ with the
people by whose votes we have been sent
here and when that difference does ex
ist it seems to me to be the first duty, as
it is the highest privilege of tho Repre
sentative to give his reasons for this dif
ference. It is for this reason, and not to
discuss the merits of tho resolutions, that
I rise. I have said, sir, that the resolu
tions by which it is attempted to instruct
my legislative course do not meet with
my approbation. The expression wa3 a
little too broad. A portion of these reso
lutions does meet my cordial approbation
and shall have my unqualified support—
that portion which directs me to co-ope
rate with the Governor in calling a Con
vention to declare the mode and manner
of redress for our past grievances. As an
humble member of this legislative body,
I agree with this patriotic purpose of a
portion of my fellow citizens, and stand
ready, anxious and willing to give my
support to that proposition ; but sir, it
occurs to rue that this respected and pat
riotic portion of my fellow citizens have
left nothing for mo or such Convention of
tho people of Georgia to do. They have
declared in effect the government at an
end, and request this body to send forth
this Legislative opinion. I call the atten
tion of .the Senate particularly to that
feature of the resolutions. And then we
are asked to take into immediateconsider
ation the passage of such laws as will
provide against and alleviate the unusual
commercial embarrassments consequent
upon the present emergency, notwith
standing, Mr. President the, “first resolu
tion says that tho election of a certain
person to the Presidency, (and no man
upon this floor deprecates it more than I
do,) “must not and will not be submitted
to.” Upon that declaration this subse
quent action is asked. Sir, the resolu
tions render me nothing more than an or
gan to express the opinion in this Senate,
which my constituents entertain: That
Georgia should al once secedefrom the Covfed
eracg of Stales, and that secession shall he by
Georgia's own independent unaided action ,
without having the solicitation or con
sent, co-operation or agreement of our
sister Southern States, and before we
have had their promise or attempted to
obtain it, to stand by us, to unite with us
in such secession.
Mr. President, I have said thatno mem
ber of this Senate deprecates more than
I do the election of Abraham Lincoln to
the Presidency of the United States, and
in his humble sphere no rnau made more
efforts than I did to defeat it. But, sir,
when this great consequence of the dis
ruption of tho government, by our own
legislative acts, a government which was
initiated by Jefferson, brought to com
pletion by Washington, protected by the
policy of Jackson, and ennobled by the
statesmanship of Crawford—(pointing to
the portraits of these patriots which adorn
tho Senate Chamber) —I say, sir, wrh-en it
is proposed that this government shall be
broken up in the manner and for the
cause indicated by my constituents, I
desire to stand erect before my own na
tivo State, before the whole country and
in tho face of the civilized world, and to
enter my solemn protest against it, to
feel and proudly and truthfully to say it
was not we of the South that did it with
out sufficient cause. I am one of those
who believe that it is our duty to stand
by tho bonds into which we have entered.
We agree, sir, that it was our contract,
our solemn obligation, our distinct un
derstanding that in a certain mode and
manner the people of the United States
should quadrennially elect their Presi
dent. The people, sir, in their majesty
have spoken, and the triumph of a foul
party has been announced. The question
is, shall we submit to this single act of
the election of Lincoln, ridicule it as you
may, in accordance with all the forms of
the Constitution. Upon this floor I took
upon myself the solemn oath to support
and defend tho Constitution of the United
States.
Sir, it may bo the case that the irre
• pressiblo conflict doctrines of the Black
Republican party will prevail in the ad
ministration of the government of the
United States. In that case I fear, I
believe, the government ought and will
be at an end. Whenever that party shall
attempt to trespass upon tho rights of the
South, I believe that tho people of Geor
gia will rise as one man and with one
heart, and protect themselves from op
pression. I do not see how secession
will end those acts of aggression—how
separate State action cures the evils of
which we complain. At whoso door do
you lay the complaint? At the door of
your Government i At the door of your
Constitution? At the door of your Union?
Who has made the charge that the Gen
eral Government has failed to protect
your rights under the Constitution and in
the Union wheuever called upon to do so?
Who, I ask, Senators, have ever made
the charge in all the discussions on this
question, that the government of the
United States, in its governmental ca
pacity, has brought any oppression upon
you, committed any agression on your
rights ? I stand ready to answer the
charge should it be made. True, Massa
chusetts has violated the compact; true
Connecticut has violated it; true other
Legislatures of other States have passed
measures obnoxious to the South, and it
is equally true that the Congress of the
United States in answer to the demands
of the South has passed the Fugitive
Slave Law, and it is equally true, that
when application has been made to the
President of the United States for the en
forcement of the rights of the South, un
der this law, he has poured forth the
Federal Treasury, and made use of the
Federal bayonet. It is true, sir, that
when your rights have been questioned,
its Supreme Court has maintained them.
It is true, sir, that for the 80 years of the
existence of this government, it has never
trampled upon your sovereignty, and
never refused you redress for any wrong.
Why, then, this hostility to such a Gov
ernment? I ask, if Massachusetts has
violated the compact, is that a cause, of
disruption with the General Government,
by the action of other States, when the
people have observed and been faithful
to it? The General Government was
created by the action of all the States in
concert; and if one or more of these
States have proven recreant to their
trust, false and faithless to their obliga
tions, they should be punished and made
to observe, stand to their contract, or be
denied all participation in its benefits.
Then sir, I do not concur in the first es
these resolutions, declaring that the sim
ple ejection of one man as President of
the Lnited States, in accordance with the
provisions of the Constitution, is a suffi
cient cause for the violation of that Con
stitution, which every member on this
floor has sworn to support—sufficient
cause for separate State secession. Ido
not see the oppressor’s hand in that act.
I do not see the invader’s step ; I see the
full triumph of a party in the contest for
the highest honors in this Government.
Mr. President, my public life has been
short. The occupations of my life have
iu private station, said to be the post
of honor. But there are very few of those
who surround me, that can date their
public recollections at a period further
back than my own. My boyish remem
brance travels back to 1825, when the
patriots, whose portraits adorn the head
of your Chamber, (Troup and Clark,)
had the destinies of Georgia committed to
their charge. I remember the great con
test for State Rights and State Sover
eignty, wbon the patriot, Troup, uttered
that noble sentiment, “The argument is
exhausted, we will stand by our arms.”
And when he uttered it the radiant glory
of Georgia's flag shone most brilliantly.
Ho did not propose by that sentiment, as
somo arc pleased to consider, that he
would cure Georgia's wrongs by retiring
from the Union. Sir, this sentiment
never entered into his thoughts, that
the fate of Georgia should be decided
outside of the Union. He determined
rather to do battle with the 22 ether
States, and within 500 votes of a major
ity of his own State against him, and
from that contest he brought out Geor
gia with her star the brightest in the gal
axy of States.
Sir, the disunion sentiment had its
origin in 1828; it culminated in 1832,
and as an humble delegate to that cele
brated Convention, which was assembled
on that occasion, I stood upon this floor
giving my humble advocacy to the pre
servation of the Union—acting upon con
victions then and now, which were then
and now, by some, pronounced traitor
ous, and in this contest I shall stand.or
fall by those convictions. Patriotic men
in 1832, said as now, that we should dis
rupt the Union, and some of them have
been for 28 years warring against it.—
They declare that it briDgs no blessings
but curses on their beloved State. Sir,
it is one of the consolations of my life,
that owing to the spirit v. T ith which I re
sisted that advice, the spirit of’32, cn
that occasion, I have been humbly instru
mental in giving to my native State 28
years of existence iu the Union, during
which no national oppression has been
visited upon us, and in which we have
prospered as a State —28 years in which,
if the result had been otherwise, then, I
cannot calculate, I will cot attempt to
portray what might have been, what
would have been the direful, disastrous
consequences.
Again, sir, the disunion flag was rais
ed in 1850. 1 was found again ranked
under the banner of my whole country—
unwilling then, as now, that the bright
star of Georgia should be hurled from
its position—left to stand alone in the
firmament of nations —proud, noble, Em
pire. as she now is—that then even the
children might look upon her and re
hearse the nursery rhyme—
“ Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.”
Mr. President, I say it is a matter of personal
gratulation that this has been my course from
the days of my youth, and my constituents well
knew it when’they honored me with a seat on
this floor. And sir I say again, that these opin
ions were not made an issue before the people,
when you and I were elected to seats on this
tloor. We were not sent here to decide the
question of Union and Disunion. We were sent
here to make laws for the chosen, well organ
ized government of the people of Georgia; not
to break up their time honored and valued con
nection and association by disrupting the ties
which bind Georgia to the other .States, espe
cially to those States which have been true and
faithful to Georgia's rights and Georgia's weal.
I would not indulge this sentiment upon this
floor if I entertained it, for I believe it is the
privilege of the people to make and unmake
governments. It is the duty of the Legislature
to make laws for that government as the peo
ple have constructed it. Before I could feel
authorised to vote for the disruption of the
government, I would ask an assemblage of all
my constituents to look well to this matter, ami
decide upon it for themselves; and should
they decide separately to secede from the Un
ion. for the mere triumph of a party hostile in
its principles, not in its action as yet, at least
while I would bow to their decision, I should
not be their chosen representative. That sir
would be my c urse. And while I might be
condemned for my principles, I flatter myself
that I should be commended for the sentiment
that in the people resides the great power to
make and unmake governments—in the Legis
lature, the duty to make laws for the support,
maintainance, protection and enforcement of
such governments when made. Sir, the reso
lutions which have been read at your desk are
sent here to me by the Secretaries of the meet
ing which adopted them, expressing the belief
that if the same spirit which prevailed there
shall prevail here, ‘Georgia will soon become
the Empire State in the Southern Confederacy.”
Now, sir, if there was any resolution expressing
a desire that Georgia should unite with her
sister States that have had like grievances, have
suffered like wrongs and oppressions from
other States, I say if these resolutions shadow
ed forth that policy, they would thus far meet
my approbation. lam willing to act with our
sister States which have suffered like wrongs,
and if resistance come, still to stand by them
and with them. But, sir, because Massachusetts
has, by her representatives in her own State
Legislature, perpetrated a wrong on the people
of iny State —because Connecticut lias been
faithless to her constitutional obligations—do
you ask me to do violence to the land of Wash
ington, to sever my connection with my interest
in Mount Vernon and Monticello, because other
States have proved recreant to their obligations;
because they are faithless, do my constituents
—patriotic men as I know they are —ask me to
withdraw Georgia from good old Virginia, the
land par excellence of freedom? Do they ask
me to give up Louisiana, to break bonds of
brotherhood with her? Whj r , sir, it is the
battle ground of Now Orleans; it is the land
where the American armies gained their most
signal triumph. Do they ask me to sever my
connection with gallant Tennessee, without
even the privilege of making one pilgrimage to
the Hermitage, and feeling that its patriotic
hero reposes in the bosom of my own country ?
Do they wish me to part from glorious old Ken
tucky, and to feel that the fame of its great
Commoner is no longer our joint inheritance?
Why. sir, if we. must disrupt, let us ask all our
sister Southern’ States, with like grievances,
wrongs, oppressions, and purposes, to unite
with us in the mode and manner of resistance,
whether in the Union or out of the Union, and
let us in the meantime stand by the bond of
brotherhood which we have made with them.
They have not broken it. When we have thus
united we shall be prepared to meet the foe,
pome from what quarter he may. I like this
idea of a Southern Confederacy. But, sir, let the
delegates to our Convention come fresh from
the people,chosen to represent the interests of
Georgia in the present emergency. And, sir,
whenever Georgia shall act through such a
Convention I ani prepaaed to abide her decis
ion. If the people prefer a separate indepen
dent State government, unaided, unconnected
with such States, as much as I oppose that mea
uro now. I will go with them them then. If
they prefer a confederacy of the sister Southern
States, I am willing to bo an humble private
citizen in that government; but if the people in
their sovereign capacity through their repre
sentatives in convention assembled, shall de
cide that they will not disrupt the government
of these United States, then I am’ willing to
hold up our national banner, with all its stars
and stripes, and say:
“ “Tig the star spangled banner, oh lon* may it wave
O’er the homes of the free and the Lome of the Brave.”
Mr. Holt was listened to with profound atten
tion by the Senate, and after he had taken his
seat, Mr. Lawton rose and addressed the Senate
on. and in support of, the resolutions from the
county of Chatham, which ho had ottered;
they being the same which had been sent from
the county of Muscogee.
Tile Mew Gngon Senator.
Mr. E. D. Baker, the newly elected
Senator in Congress, from Oregon, made
a violent Republican speech, at the
theatre in San Francisco, a few days be
fore the Presidential election. It avow
ed and justified Mr. Seward’s whole doc
trine of the “irrepressible confiicL” llis
style of defending this dogma was of the
highest flavor of the Helper book. He
was jubilant in his anticipations of the
extinction of slavery, and was cheered
by his audience when he proclaimed to
them “you, to save your souls, can’t help
saying hurrah for the weaker party.”—
lie wound up that part with explicit
avowal :
I would shoulder my rifle to suppress
insurrection ; and yet in my own impul
ses, in the depth of my own reflection, I
feel that if Mr. Seward, looking forward
with the eye of a great statesman and
philosopher, said the conflict was irre
pressible—God go with him ! I endorse
the sentiment.
Whereupon the report says there were
“tremendous cheers,” after he proceeded,
iu a Garrisonian strain, to anticipate the
triumph of universal freedom, “resplen
deDt in complete steel, and brandishing
in her right hand a flaming sword, red
with insuppressible light.”
These be the “moderate” Republicans!

Washington, Nov. IC.—Tho New York
! Tribune of to-day has a remarkable arti
| cle sustaining the propriety of letting the
| Southern States secede if they wish.—
| Coming ftom such a source, the views are
: important, and I therefore send them
| nearly in lull. The Tribune says :
“We have not deemed it necessary to
! lumber our columns with proofs or a:gu
i merits intended to show that the secession
! of a State from our Federal Union is
I unauthorized by the Federal Constitution.
On that point, the authority of Madison
or Webster can only be needed by those
with whom no authority can avail aught.
“He who imagines that after we have
paid fifteen millions for Louisiana, and
five millions for Florida, and ten millions
for Texas, and fifteen millions again for
Caliiornia and New Mexico, and admit
ted their people to a perfect equality
with us in our confederacy, they may
each and all take themselves off in a huff,
wheuever they are inclined to do so, must
be iu a frame of-mind on which argument
or expostulation would be wasted. The
union of these States is in its nature irre
vocable, and only the earthquake of revo
lution can sever it. Still, we say in all
earnestness and good faith, whenever a
whole section of this republic, whether a
half, a third, or only a fourth, shall truly
desire and demand a separation from the
balance, we shall as earnestly favor such
separation. If the fifteen Slave States or
even the eight Cotton States, shallquietly,
decisively say to the rest, ‘we prefer to be
henceforth separate from you,’ we shall
insist that they be permitted to go iu
peace. War is a hideous necessity at
best, and a civil conflict, a war of es
tranged and embittered fallow country
men, is the most hideous of ail wars.
“Whenever the people of the Cotton
States shall have definitely and decisively
made up their mind to separate from the
rest of us, we shall urge that the proper
steps to be taken to give full effect to their
decision.”

the States now threatening to secede shall
adopt her programme, and that shall fail
to be earned out by non-compliance on
the part of the North, Virginia will unite
in the secession movement. She will
ask the Southern States to go into a
Southern Confederacy with her, and it
is understood that they will go provided
she lays down beforehand the programme
which shall form the basis of action which
will embrace, first, a repeal of the stat
utes nullifying the Fugitive Slave Law

Anoilier Fire !
After cur City Guard had reported
themselves, and been discharged from
duty, between daylight and sunrise this
morning, a fire was discovered iu the rear
of the office owned and occupied by Mr.
Shaw, as Agent of Adams’ Express Com
pany, and as a carriage repository. From
this office the flames communicated to
the marble yard of Mr. Butler, c-n the
north, and to the two brick store houses
of Messrs. Grass and Bridenbaek, cn the
south, from thence to the large wooden
tenement owned by Messrs. Hill, Wright
& Marshall, and used by them as a car
riage repository. The loss falls most
heavily upon Mr. Shaw, as he saved
nothing in his office and repository. His
loss is several thousand dollars. Messrs.
Grass & Bridenback’s loss is also large,
they having only two thousand dollars
insured. Messrs. Hill &: Cos. have again
suffered severely by loss. Mr. Butler’s
loss is small.
The fire was, beyond doubt, the work
of an incendiary, as the building in which
it was first discovered had neither a fire
place or stove connected with it. The
actual loss of the parties over and above
insurances is between twelve and thirteen
thousand dollars. —Albany Patriot, Vdlh.
Dress Making
To ladies who are engaged in the all
important occupation of dress-making,
the following description (ff a favorite
style recently made up in Paris will not
fail to be interesting. The material con
sists of the fashionable fabric called
“mousseline de sore” —a checkered pat
tern of violet color on a white ground.
On the checkers are white bouquets in
raised silk. The dress is decorated with
six flounces, cut bias, and edged with
violet calored silk. These flounces go
quite round tbe lower part of the skirt,
and are carried up in front, tablier fashion.
Over the skirt is a tunic, rounded at the
corners, and edged with a quilling of
mousseline de sore, both edges finished with
violet silk. The corsage is half hi .h,
and a long sash of violet ribbon hangs in
front, fasteued at the waist by a goid or
jeweled buckle.
Zouave jackets continue to be absolute
ly the rage in Paris. They are made up
in lace, muslin, cashm ere and every im
aginable material. The accompanying
vests are of cambric, silks, or even white
lace bouellorwe, and may be very fanciful
ly trimmed.
The continuance and frequent fits of
anger produce an evil habit in the soul,
called wrathfulnes3, or a propensity to be
angry, which oftentimes ends in choler,
bitterness, and morosity: when the mind
becomes ulcerated, peevish, and queru
lous, and, like a thin, weak plate of iron,
receives impression, and is wounded by
least occurrence.

Dissensions m the Cabinet — Gen. Joseph
Lane for Secession — Excitement and Re
svjnaUons n% the Navu.
Washington, Nov. 22. —There has
been a great deal cf dissension in the
Cabinet lately about the secession ques
tion, but some compromise was to day
agreed upon. What is the nature of this
has not yet transpired. The President, ;
however, says that there will now be no j
dissolution of the Cabinet on account of
the positions taken in his message. It i
j seems that Secretary Floyd insisted that
i it was due to the country that tho views
i of the Cabinet on the subject of secession I
; should be promulgated at once. The j
1 President declines that the message I
should be sent in advance to Richmond, j
\ It will be laid before Congress on the ■
second day of the session.
Gen. Jo. Lane has addressed a letter j
to the Breckinridge Club of New York, j
in favor of secession. lie takes the i
ground that the rights of the South have !
been menaced and impaired, and its
I equality in the Territories destroyed by
i the same North which retains on itsl§Lat
j ute Books nullifying ordinances. He
I expresses his opinion, that unless these
wrongs are promptly remedied, the disso
lution of the Union cannot be averted.—
lie denies the right of the Federal Gov
ernment to use force to compelling the
submis-ion of a sovereign State, when,its
rights have been repeatedly infringed,
and equality has been refused to it. The
Union, he argues, was not fosmed by
force, and can never be sustained by
force.
| Secretaries Cobb, Thompson and Floyd,
I it is well understood here, hold views
* identified with those of Gen. Lane,
j The Constitution newspaper is cut this
j morning in an ar:ic!e calling upon Lin
coln and Hamlin to resign, as the only
means of preserving the integrity of the
Union.
The President Las repeatedly express
ed himself as opposed to the secession
movement. He- believes that before revo
lutionary measures are resorted to, every
legal and constitutional remedy ought to
be exhausted.
Avery great excitement prevails among
the officers of the navy in consequence of
the present state of affairs at the South,
and that so adverse are they to a collision
with their fellow citizens in that quarter
that there will be an almost universal re
j signation of their commissions as soon as
hostilities break out. They will not im
bruetheir hands in the blood of their
brethren.
Washington, Nov. Ift.—Judge Wayne,
of (he Supreme Court, has, it is under
stood in Washington, said, among other
things, that four fifths of the ; c qle of
Savannah are opposed to secession.
According to an article in to day’s
Richmond Dispatch, Virginia can, at the
present time, arm effectually about 25,000
men. She has at least sixty bronzed ri
lied field pieces and howitzers. A ccn
tract has been made for 3,000 shells nod
schi-apagH made for 3,000 shells, and
schrapneil in addition to those purchased
and stored in magazines built for the pur
pose. The model for anew Virginia
musket is determined, and other warlike
. preparations are also in progress.
Trading vvtdi Negroes.
Eds Sun : patrol companies have been
attempting to do their duty in certain
localities, but men who trade with ne
groes have offered them protection against
said companies, particularly in Utah.—
Utah is located at the base of what is
known as YY a mock’s hill. Its population
consists of free negroes and white peo
ple, soma them rendered low by the in
dulgence of bad habits. In that famous
ville is to be found no edifices reared to
the living God, and wh it is worse, seme
of itsiubabitants worship at no shrine, ex
ceptfilthy lucre, and that to be acquired
by corrupting our negroes, and inducing
them to steal to carry on this illegal
traffic. A patrol company was out in
that ville one night this month. They
saw three negroes go into one of these
groceries after the hour of nine o’clock,
p. m. They ran a negro to a hom eup
in that vicinity, and one of the company
went to the gale, and attempted to enter,
tbe woman oßhe house came to the door
and said that that negro had protection
there, and that if lie did not leave she
would shoot him, and tired her pistol in
the air. Tbe negro uiu not belong to the
woman or her husband, but we suppose
lie might have been a good customer. A
number of negroes were found on the
public highway with jugs of whisky in
and about the said Utah. Now these free
negroes are living in rented houses
or Louses owned by them, this is all con
trary to a law now on your statute book.
Ail our laws ought to be enforced now
rigidly. Our safety is to be found notin
good laws only, but- ii the enforcement
of such laws as we have. The laws are
not defective, but they have not been en
forced a3 they should have been ; a
crime among the blacks or whites would
have been less frequent, and we would
now hold our property by a.much better
tenure, and our slaves much better sat
isfied. What is the penalty for trading
with slaves ? Why, the law is plain.—
The penalty for selling liquor to “slaves
is a fine not less than fifty dollars nor
more than two hundred dollars, and
imprisonment not less than ten nor more
than thirty days. Are we furnished with
means to carry out this law? Most as
suredly. Then lei the officers of the law
look to it. Citizens of Muscogee, be vigi
lant Your laws are being violated, 1
may say every night, and all because
your officers have not done their duty.
These are troublous limes, and demand
that we should be vigilant.

‘i lie Women are Always Sight.
If you doubt it, t end the following from
Mrs. Lincoln
Will it not seem strange to our readers,
says the Charlottesville (Va.,) Review, to
hear that Mrs. Lincoln is a pro-slavery
woman ? Yet we were recently informed
by a gentleman, who is a near relative to
hers, and who is himself from a slave
State, that such is the fact. He knew
her in Kentucky, where the3 r both form
erly lived, and on seeing her some two
weeks since, he asked her if she had mod
ified the opinion she had formerly enter
tained in favor of the institution ? She
replied she had not ; that, on the contra
ry, her convictions in favor of it had
strengthened since her residence in Illi
nois.
Now if the old lady does not make old
Abe, come down and split rails a while
for the kinky heads, we shall feel disposed
to somewhat modify the opinion expressed
at the head of this. YYho knows but the
old lady may yet save the country.
Daring Attempt to Burn {lie Capitol.
YVe understand that a bold attempt was
made to fire the Capitol by some unknown
person about 10 o’clock yesterday mor
ning. The torch was applied to the door
opening into the room between the stair
way leading out upon the dome and the
Senate gallery, and had not the flames
been discovered at so early a moment by
that faithful and reliable colored boy
Elias, who attends at the building, its
destruction would most probably have
been inevitable. The room in question
was filled with old books, paper material,
and other combustible matter, and if the
fire had got under headway, all efforts to
arrest its progress would probably have
been futile. The suupcstd incendiaries
wereseen by ayounggentleman of this city
a few moments after the occurrence, but
they have not yet been arrested.—Mont
gomery Advertiser, 28i/t.

Spitting In a Negro’s Face.
One cf the nymphs da pave named Theo
dosia Bonner, while passing along the
sidewalks, on YY’ednesdav evening, was
accosted by a negro who proposed to ac
company her home. She feeling insulted
at the fellow’s impudence, spit in his face,
and yesterday morning she was arraigned
before Judge Lowe charged with the of
fense. The fact being proved she was
fined $25 and sent to the City Prison for
ten days.— Cm. Enquirer, Nov. 16.

Extensive Purchase of War Jlunt
i'ons for the Pouth
Yesterday there arrived by the steam
er City of Hartford, from, Hartford, one
hundred and eighty cases of Sharpe's
carbines, containing ten pieces each,
making in all, arms for one thousand
eight hundred men, and forty eases of
conical balls, each containing one thou
sand bullets, or forty thousand cartridges
in the aggregate. These arms an! am
! munition wore ordered by telegraph from
the Governor of Georgia, and will he sent
!to Savannah by the next steamer. The
same factory has also received orders
j from Alabama for one thousand stand of
| the same death dealing weapons.
I Cooper & Pond, of this city, receive
! from twenty to fifty orders daily from
i South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia—
I and people who sup; ose that the South
| is not a paying customer, may beaston-
I ished to know that their business trnns
! actions in this line are strictly on a cash
| basis. Cash within thirty days is their
! invariable rule. Most of the orders are
j for rifles and navy revolvers, though
Cooper & Pond supply an immense num
ber of flint lock muskets. They lately
sent twenty gun carriages to Georgia,
and have done a brisk businessin all kinds
of small arms and ammunition with all
the principal southern States.
Another large house in this city has
filled orders for about five thousand stand
of muskets of the United States pattern,
and has sold large quantities of artillery
swords army pistols. Its orders
come from atl the southern States; but
mainly from those in which recession is
regarded as the only remedy for southern
grievances. A third extensive establish
ment has supplied an immense number cf
Colt’s revolvers and rifles to Georgia,
principally to Columbus. All the whole
sale house- and agencies in the city have
been hard pressed to supply the orders
for every imaginable species of weapon.
To the above list may be added Ames’
Manufacturing Company, which has fur
nished Georgia with cannon and with
three hundred artillery swords, and has
done a large miscellaneous business with
all the aggrieved States.
South Carolina is the only southern
State which has au armory ot her own. —
It has been in operation some years, and
turns out good work, though at a cost
ncit!eS3, probably, than that of the class
of arms in the North.
A Suggestion
The last Grifiin Union contains a com
munication written by G. Grice, who
say s he is sixty five years of age, treating
on the present- troubles. lie makes the
following suggestion. He says :
Let each'sCaunty in the State, call a
meeting at their respective Court Houses,
requesting the attendance of every voter
in the county, to cons nit deliberate and
determine to request the Legislature now
in session, to make provision for, and call
a State. Convention, at the curliest prac
ticable day, requesting every Southern
State (o do likewise.. Each county in the
State •• ending a number of delegates cor
responding (o the number of their Rep
resentation in the present Legislature.—
Let the State Convention when assembled
determine what is the moat, proper and
prudent course to be pursued under exist
ing circumstances, calling upon every
Southern State, to scud delegates to a
Southern Convention to a u sernble at some
central point, say Nashville Tennessee.—
Let that Convention lay dawn sm ultimatum
and never depart from it but maintain
and carry it out at all hazards. Let the
Georgia State Convention, select and
send up to the Southern Convention of
the States twenty four Delegates—three
from each Congressional District taken
from the Delegates assembled in the State
Convention. In the selection of Dele
gates I would suggest the importance of
selecting as Delegates men of age and ex
periet;ce and those beH acquainted with
the nature and machinery of the Govern
ment. Let no party prejudices nor pre
dilections have anything to do in the
selection of ‘Delegates. The time has
come that there should be but one party
South, and that party should be united
and cemented in a bond of brotherly love
for the maintainance and perpetuation of
the rights, and institutions of our coun
try. There is an identity of interest
which belongs, to all Southerners. Our
rights are the same. Let us ever remem
ber and hold to the motto: “United we
stand divided wo fall.” Let no harsh
word drop from our pen nor escape from
cur lips. Cultivate peace harmony and
good will towards each other. Men hon
estly and consciously differ in opinion
upon various subjects. Let not this ali
enate our feelings and friendship from
each other. Let all act in concert for the
permanent good of out common country.
Let earh freeman remember that caution,
prudence and moderation is the surest
guaranty for the accomplishment of any
object.
Suspension of Debts.
The bill to grant relief to the banks
and people of this State passed the Senate
yesterday by a vote of 92 to 15. Its pro
visions are—
1. Repeals so much of the act of 1857
as forl'ids the banks of this State from
sending their notes out of the State for
the purpose of discounting drafts.
2. Repeals so much of said act as pro
vents the banks from selling any but sight
checks.
3. Suspends the operation of all acts
inflicting pains and forfeitures on the
banks and their notes.
4 Prohibits the levying of any fi fa in
favor of the suspended banks duriug such
suspension, and of any fi fa against the
banks during the time their debtors are
thus protected, provided that ihe defen
dant in either case shall give security as
is new required for the stay of execution.
5. No plaintiff in fi fa shad have the
same levied upon the property cf any in
habitant of this State, except upon affida
vit that the defendant is about to remove
his property beyond toe limits of this
State, or of any county thereof.—Milledye
ville Recorder.

We learn from the Cashier that this
Bank has redeemed more than SIOO,OOO
of its bills within the last two weeks, and
at the same time has paid off nearly its
entire depmsit account, ammounting to
full SIOO,OOO more ; thereby paying anil
taking within that short time more than
one half of the lir.biiities of the Bank.—
Its circulation is now only about $150,-
000, which is expected to come in and be
taken up in the collection of debts due
the Bank during the present winter.
This Bank has always done its full
share towards accommodation the busi
ness of the place, but the extraordinary
state of affairs now existing, and the al-
I most total inability to collect its debts, or
| realize upon its assets at this time has
rendered a suspension necessary. The
I officers think they can pay the circulation
| and debts of ihe Bank, and also pay back
i to the stockholders par for their stock. ‘

He left Fort Scott on Tuesday last. The

A Callioltc View of Secession,
Some of our contemporaries North are
di;alir..c very unfairly with the present
quo; ci-.-n. One of them compare-’ the peo
ple of South Carolina to the Garibaldian
ami Italian revolutionists. This is a wan
ton, insulting assertion aud nothing more.
We are neither brigands nor professional
revolutionists. We meditate neither the
invasion nor the subversion of other sov
ereignties, but merely the maintenance
of our own. If the Federal Government
• r our Northern neighbors attempt inva
sion of our soil, a;.d coercion by blockade
or armed intervention—and i-uch threats
have been half-uttered—we can then easi
ly point out the parties best entitled to
the name of brigands and Gariba’dists.
We think that we resmble rather that
Italian Sovereign who has been ousted
from his Sovereignty by a foreign usurper,
and for endeavoring to maintain it by
arms, is pronounced traitor
Another journal, still farther North,
goes beyond this, to an extent propor
tionate to its latitude. It denies in loto
the right of secession under any circum
stances and boldly compares the union of
the States to the marriage bond, which
once entered into is forever indissoluble,
no matter what provocation or injustice
one of the parties may have to submit to.
Such comparison trifles wantonly with
one of the sacraments of the Church.—
Would it not he better to take a more
worldly and business like view of the
matter? States, like individuals, enter
into partnership for the advancement of
their mutual interests, because in union
there is power. After a fair trial, one of
the individuals (say one of the States, if
you wiil) finds that he is every way the
loser by'the bargain; that he is system
atically cheated, robbed, and insulted
besides by his partners. Is he to be
held forever at the mercy of his nominal
partners, but reel spoliators, because i e
happened to sign his name to the artic
les of co-partnership ? No: in this, as in
every contract, the old maxim of law ap
plies—
Fi a.nge.nti fidem. fules frav/jatur eidem.
The same editor, going still further,
insists that tho Executive shali hang Ila
man like, upon a high gallows, every
Southern man who counsels or promotes
secession. To such silly menaces we
cannot condescend to reply with defiance;
sheer contempt is the only proper art
swer.
Stoppage of Business.
Owing to the partial suspension os or
ders from the South, the srnail receipts
of cash from that quarter, and the pro
vaiiing distrust and uncertainty as to
the future, manufacturing operations have
been suspended or greatly reduced” by
many large Houses, thereby throwing
numerous persons out of employment
‘One clothing establishment which we
might name, has discharged 1,000 hands;
a bat establishment has discharged near
ly 1,000 ; a saddlery firm has reduced its
force about 500; and curtailment is very
general. At Newark especially, the cris
is is severely felt, on account of their ex
tensive connections with the Southern
trade. Should there be no improve
ment, much suffering must ensue among
the laboring classes. It appears singu
lar at first sight, that thus far, houses in
the Western business are the largest suf
ferers ; but it is inevitable that all class
es of traders suffer .from the prevailing
panic, unless we except the manufactur
ers of fire arms. It would probably be
no exaggeration to estimate the number
of persons thrown out of employment
since election day, at 25,000; a large
proportion of whom are young women
