ness we tind on onr books,a very considerable
indebtedness. We have liabilities to meet .
vvliieh, had we not given indulgences, we I
should now be ready to cash. Our liabilities 1
must be met or onr business operations will I
seriously suffer. Our claims are in small !
amounts, and cannot much embarrass any one j
of our patrons to settle. Our liabilities are of a 1
character in amount that, must seriously affect
our credit and business If not met. Is it askiim i
too much then of our patrons who are in ai° i
rears to come up and settle without delay.
We are drawing off all our accounts, and will j
in a few days present them for settlement, i
either in person or by mail, and trust all will j
be ready to cash them on presentation. In
future we shall adhere more rigidly to the
cash system, even at the hazard of curtailing j
the amount of our general business. We want !
cash. Promises to pay will not settle our lia
bilities.

TIIOS. GILBERT k CO. * !
Eire I
About ten o'clock last night a fire broke ont ‘
in the building on the west side of Broad st.,
between St. Clair and Crawford sts., owned by i
B. Wells & Cos., and occupied by Mr. Thad. B. (
Scott as a family grocery, and Mr. Fishacker
as a dry goods and clothing store. Botli were 1
partially insured. The loss of the former is I
roughly.estimated at about $1,500, and the lat
ter about $3,000. ‘
Tht* gallant Fire Companies were soon on the
spot, surrounded the building and speedily ex
tinguished the flames; but the result will be i
probably the total loss of the building.
The fire is believed to be the act of an incen
diary from all the circumstances, as no sign of
it was seen when the proprietors left their i
stores some time previous to its breaking out, ■
and every chance for it w r as carefully guarded ,
against. But for the well directed efforts of the
firemen much greater damage must have soon
ensued to the adjoining buildings.
Another [Detachment from Union <
Springs.
A detachment of eight men, members 1
of the “ Southern Rifles” from Union 1
Springs, that passed through Columbus ]
a few days since, arrived here Saturday, j
They are hastening to join their compa
ny at Montgomery or Pensacola. They
are sturdy specimens of manhood, and
appear fully able to stand all the vicissi
tudes of actual service. I
Arrest of a Suspicious Character.
A few days ago Marshal Hughes ar
rested a suspicious character with two
negroes in his possession, and upon giv
ing conflicting accounts of himself was
locked up in jail to await examination.
Saturday he was allowed to get his J
breakfast upon promise to return, and
since that time has not been heard from,
lie gave his name as Alick Simmons, and £
says he is from Mississippi. The negroes
are still in jail.
i
Adorn Your Yards.
Happening in at Mr. John Leq’s Agri
cultural and Seed Store, on Saturday
last, we were reminded that now was 1
the proner time to secure the various
seeds necessary for the kitchen garden,
as well as for the flower garden, and the
various pot plants. Mr. Lee has a large
variety of bulbous roots, flower seeds 1
and shrubbery, all of which are no doubt ‘
of the growing and blooming sort. Our
Lady readers who have in charge this part
of the garden, should not fail to call and
supply themselves, and receive instruc
tions gratis.
Muscogee Mounted Rangers. ,
We are happy to learn that Capt. J. A.
Strother has returned from the West,
and is now ready and anxious to complete
the organization of the “ Muscogee
Mounted Rangers.” The Captain will
bo present at the meeting of the Company
on Saturday evening next. — Times, of
yesterday.
The “Mounted Rangers” have made 1
an excellent selection of officers. Capt.
Strother has seen actual service on the
battle field, and should the occasion re- ‘
quire it, and the political differences- 1
between the North and South be referred
to the abitrament of arms, we doubt not
that he will add anew laurel to those
acquired as au Alabama volunteer and
Texas Ranger in the long aud hotly
contested battle o! Monterey, and the
Mexican War.
Company D. Ready.
Among the indications of reauiness on
every side, by our brave men, to fight
tho battles and maintain the honor of
the South, we learn that at a recent meet
ing of Company D., Capt. F. G. XVilkins’
command, fifty members enrolled their
names and declared themselves prepared
for active service at a moment’s warning.
We clip the above from the Times, of
yesterday. Capt. Wilkins, we believe was
one of the earliest to report his Company
ready to respond to the first summons
from the State ; and we congratulate our
selves that such men are desirous of being
enlisted io its service when the necessity
demands it.

Man Killed.
We learn, says the Wilmington (N. C.)
Journal of the 14th, that on Friday eve
ning, a freight train on the Wilmington
& Weldon Railroad, ran over and killed
a man named R. A. Johnson. The acci
dent occurred between Leesburg and
i -outh Washington. The deceased had
been put off the up mail train, and must
have staid about the road, or laid down
npon the track.

The Expected Troops.
According to previous advices that a
large body of troop% would embark at
Chattahoochee, Florida, for Pensacola
by way of this city, the Columbus Guards,
Lieut. Ellis, and City Light Guards,
Capt. Colquitt, turned out Saturday af
j ternoon preparatory to giving the’m a
suitable reception ; and wnen the whis
tle oi the steamer lichee signaled her ap
proach to the wharf, repaired thither for
that purpose. Contrary to expectation
the troops did not appear, which created
some little disappointment to a large
crowd that lined the river banks to
witness the debarkation and reception.
The Captain of the lichee reports that do
troops appeared at Chattahoochee when j
he reached there, though about two hun- i
dred were or had been expected to arrive
there en route for Pensacola. Whether i
they designed going down or coming up
the river was not known.
N. C. Since the above was put in type j
we learn by the steamer Wave, which
passed Neal’s Landing Saturday morning,
that two or three hundred troops were at
that place. A body of them went down
on the Wm. 11. Young, but the Chewala
went to bring them back, whether for the
purpose of coming by way of Columbus,
or because the order for them had been
countermanded, we have not ascertainedt
City JLigUt Guards.
The Light Guards, Capt. P. 11. Col
quitt, as we are pleased to learn, tender
ed their services sometime since to Gov.
Brown, and with the other military com
panies of Columbus,, will be accepted by
the State should events render it neces
sary. We have not learned the precise
number of muskets Capt. Colquitt will
muster,'save, that they will be very res
pectable in that as in other respects.
From our acquaintance with the mem
bership of the Light, Guards, we have no
doubt that they will, under any circum
stances, preserve the reputation of Col
umbus for the promptness aud efficiency
ot her military and their readiness al
ways to respond to the cail of duty and
patriotism.
City Light Guards.
In our notice of this Company yester
day, we were unable from want of prop
er information, to specify the number of
men on the roll. We have learned since
from reliable sources, that sixty-one have
reported themselves ready for service and
to take up the line of march to the local
ity that circumstances may fix the “seat
of war.”
Columbus Five Cadets.
This company is composed principally
of tho members of the Youug America
Fire Company, but the lists arc open to
any who wish to join. Considering the
military spirit that is spreading through
the land, we do not wonder that new
companies are springing up every day,
and placing themselves in a position
where, if called upon, they can properly
defend the interests of their State. The
“boys” then have organized a military
company in connection with their fire
company, and under Capt. Barnard, an
efficient leader, avow themselves subject
to the cail of duty. Gen. Semmes has
promised to procure for them uniform
aud arms, and we hope that the company
will attend closely to drills, so that we
may soon see them on parade.
Arrested.
A dispatch was received last Saturday
from Columbus by Deputy Marshal Lau
reuce, of this city, to arrest a lady and
servant, who were supposed to be making
their way North. The dispatch reached
this city too late, but was forwarded to
Augusta, where the parties were arrest
ed, and will remain until further orders.
The lady is represented by the Conduc
tor as being of a prepossessing appear
ance, and evidently in much trouble, so
much so at least, that he purchased
tickets for her at the Macon depot for the
inland route.— Macon Telegraph 15th.

The Troops for Pensacola,
It is reported here that owing to the
number of troops already concentrated at
Pensacola and on the line of march
thither, the Governor of Alabama has
countermanded the order to the Barbour
County companies. We will not vouch
for the correctness of this rumor, how
ever. If the Administration intends to
blockade tho port of Pensacola, as re
ported by telegraph, it would seem the
better policy to get possession cf Fort
Pickens before the blockading squadron
arrives and strengthens Lieut. Slimmer’s
position. If so, the larger the number
of troops concentrated by the States at
Pensacola, the better.
Since the above was in type we learn
the report is true.

Sewing Machines*
Mr. Fairchild, agent for a variety of
sewing machines, showed us a few days
since, a most excellent and serviceable
improvement, which he has after much
labor and study perfected. We cannot
describe it, but advise all who use ma
chines to call at his place of business and
examine for themselves. The improve
ment is connected with the feed part of
tho machine. Mr. F., will apply for let
ters patent on his improvement in a
short time, and receive, as he should, the
benefit of his toil and study. He can be
found at the store of A. Wittich, one door
North of J. B. Struppers.
Resistance Light Artillery.
We are informed by a member of the
above corps recently organized in this
city, that Capt. J. R Ivey, now in Mil
ledgeville, has succeeded in procuring
the requisito quota of guns, two ot them ;
twelve, the others twenty eight pounders.
Capt. Ivey has also placed the company
at the service of the State for six or j
twelve months as may be necessary. We j
congratulate the city on the organization |
of this company, and doubt not that it
will receive as it deserves, the encour
agement of our citizens. Its members
are of the right stamp and character to
render it a permanent institution of Col
umbus. No city like ours should be
without such an organization.
A patriotic citizen of Georgia, who de- j
sires that his name should not be made j
public, is reported by Col. Memminger j
to the Governor of South Carolina as hav
ing given $2,000 to the public service of
that State.
Mr. George M. Brewer, of Mobile, has
given a hundred cords of wood for the
use of the garrison at Fort Morgan, and
proffered the services of twenty negro
men as laborers on the works.
I Arrival of the Union Springs Com
pany.
jhe military company from Union
Springs, denominated the “ Southern
| Itiflee,” arrived in Columbus Thursday
| about noon, by the Mobile and Girard
Rail Road. They are 3S fine-looking a
body of men as we ever saw congregated
in one oompany, being stout and sub
stantial, and doubtless eager for the
fray. They are fifty-eight in number.
Their commander is Capt Richard H.
Powell, a gallant officer and brave man,
and withal a gentleman in every sense of
the word. \V e congratulate Union Springs
in being able to furnish so reliable a
company, and the States of Alabama and
1 lorida, .hat the members are ready and
willing to peril all in defense of South
ern honor and independence. This com
pany is en route for Pensacola, in obedi
ence to the summons of the Governor of
Alabama. On their departure for the
Depot of the Opelika and Montgomery
Road, a large crowd of citizens repaired
thither, when appropriate remarks were
made by Gapt. Powell, and three cheers
given by the spectators for the company.
As the train crossed the river, Captain
Burrus fired a salute of six guns.

A dispatch from Newark, New Jersey
the Oth, saj s: A rather intemperate call
for a mass meeting this evening, of work
ing men out of employ ruent, caused some
apprehensions of a disturbance, but the
ulterior designs, if any, were frustrated
by the good sense of the meeting under
the instructions of temperate speakers.
Union speeches were delivered by Judges
Pierson, Waugh and others. A majority
of a committee ot five presented resolu
tions endorsing and recommending the
Crittenden compromise, and commending
the action of the President in supporting
the action of Major Anderson, which were
passed.
Unfortunate.-
An affray occurred on Thursday last,
between a gentleman from Alabama,
named Saxon ; and Mr. R. L. Lloyd, of
this city, says the Pensacola Tribune of
the 12t'n. The life of the latter was saved
by a watch-key,—the ball from a pistol
shot from Mr. Saxon striking it and
glancing. Mr. Saxon afterwards receiv
ed three pistol shot wounds, one in the
neck, and two in the leg. He is not
seriously wounded. Capt. Charles Main,
in attempting to get tha pistol from Mr.
Lloyd, received a ball in his abdomen,
which caused his death yesterday about
nooD.
Tlic TocmJij ad Scott Difficulty a
Hoax.
A Washington despatch of the 12th in
stant says :—“The report of the alterca
tion between General Scott and Senator
Toombs is wholly untrue. The facts are
as follows: Gen. Scott, Senators Toombs
and Benjamin, and others, dined at the
house of Mr. Corcoran on Wednesday,
and the southern senators denounced the
Union with passion. Mr. Toombs wished
that the Star of the West could be sunk,
but no discourtesy was offered to General
Scott, and no difficulty ensued. General
Scott has authorized a denial of the re
port which has been circulated.”
The Fort Morris Firing
A correspondent of the New Y r ork
Evening Post, who waon board the Star j
of the West, and who gives a rambling ac- i
count of her trip to Charleston bar, thus
speaks of the firing from the Morris’
Island batteries:
“The military men on board highly
complimented the South Carolinians on
their shooting in this first attempt. They
say it was well done; that all which was
needed was a little better range, which
they probably could have obtained in a
few minutes. Their line was perfect, and
the opinion is expressed that someone
had charge of the guns who understood
his business.”

From Ohio.
The following is one of tho resolutions
that passed the Ohio Legislature on the
12th iust.
Resolved, That we hail with joy the rc
cent firm, dignified, and patriotic special
message of the President of the United
States, and that the entire power and
resourses of Ohio are hereby pledged,
whenever necessary and demanded, for
the maintainauce and strict subordina
tion to the civil authority of the Consti
tution aud laws of the General Govern
ment, by whomsoever administered.
Another Abolition Row.
A dispatch from Rochester, N. Y., the
11th says : The Rev. Mr. May, Susan B.
Anthony, and others of that stripe, at
tempted to hold a meeting here to night.
It was broken up by the citizens, and
resolutions in favor of the Union were
passed and cheers given for Gen. Scott
and Major Anderson. A flag, bearing
the inscription “No compromise with
slavery,” was not allowed to be suspend
ed across Buffalo street. The authori
ties prevented a general riot.
Korth Carolina Legislature.
In the Legislature of this State a sub
missionist named Turner, who doubtless
misrepresents the sentiment of his consti
tuents, endeavored to pass a resolution
censuring those who occupied Fort Cas
well. But they didn’t pass.
We are glad to learn from the Wilming
ton Journal that a resolution has passed
requesting the General and State Gov
ernments to leave the Forts statu quo un
til some arrangements cau be made.

A.R. Lamar, Esq.
As has been announced already this
gentleman was chosen Secretary of the
Convention at Milledgeville on the third
ballot. When the declaration of his elec
tion was made,J,he special correspondent
of Savannah News says, it elicited ap
plause on the floor and in the gallery.
This demonstration of approval was a
deserved compliment to a writer or well
known ability, and an ardent and devoted
friend of his State and section.
The Mobile Tribune is informed by a
gentleman of that city, that he is ready
to invest five thousand dollars to start a
powder mill. The whole sum required
is about $15,000. Mills of this sort are
said to be profitable at any time.

Advice from Rare j.
In saddling a horse I proceed thus: I
first show him the saddle. If you pull
him about or blind his eyes he thinks
something is wrong, and of course resists.
But accustom him to the saddle by plac
ing it on and on several times, and all is
right. In mounting, too, gentlemen go
wrong, as they do about almost every
thing—[laughter]—about a horse. They
bear their weight on the foot in the stir
rup and try to climb up, so that the horse
is like a fly on a pane of glass—his weight
on one side. Mr. Rarey then proceeded
to illustrate his method of mounting—
standing close to the horse and bearing
his weight on the horse’s shoulder. Now,
a horse has great power in pulling his
head down, but little when it is pulled to
one side. This shows you how to stop a
horse when he runs away. If you moke
a dead pull it is like a man trying to lift
himself over a fence by h;s boot straps.
; But if you turn him round and round
(illustrating) he is powerless.
If a horse jibs with you in the street,
and refuse's to go on, don’t attempt to
spur him; turn him round and round.
He would rather go on than keep turning
any time. You remember the mule who
used to go through a brook to lighten his
load of salt, which dissolved in the water.
His master cured him by loading him
with sand, which the water made heavier.
No beating could have accomplished such
: a reformation. Mr. Rarey then took a
drum, showed it to the horse, explaining
that horses only feared what they did not
understand, as boys feared false-faces in
the dark, unless they know them to be
pasteboard ; and then, rattling the drum
over the nervous-puller, concluded this
i part of his lecture amid hearty applause.
— Rarey's Lecturer.
! A Sunday school teacher asked a lithe
j girl who the first man was. She answered
j that she didn’t know. The question was
I put to the next, an Irish child, who an
swered “Adam, sir, with apparent sat
isfaction. “La,” said the first scholar,
“you needn’t feel so grand about it, he
wasn’t an Irishman.”

An immense multitude, consisting of the

of thia city, will leave immediately to
garrison it.
The action of Governor Moore, in rela
tion to the occupancy of the fortifications,
is viewed here as a proper and peaceable
movement, intended to save future blood
shed. His course is generally sustained
as patriotic and timely.
The Continentals, of New Orleans, are
still at Fort Pike, which is soon to be oc
cupied by anew corps, organised ex
pressly for that purpose.
New Orleans wears a lively air. Our
streets are filled with soldiers, and their
bright uniforms and martial appearance j
adds greatly to the general liveliness and
gaiety, which is so characteristic of the
Crescent City.

From New York,
New York, Jan. IG.—-The Abolition !
Tribune of this morning contained a vio
lent article, urging the State authorities
to seize the steam ship Columbia, in
order to prevent her taking out provis- 1
iocs, arms and munitions of war for
Charleston. The people of New York for
once showed their good sense, and no
hostile attempt was made to prevent her
leaving. The Columbia sailed at her
usual hour.
There was intense excitement through
out tho city in consequence of the inflam
matory article of the Tribune ; but it
subsided when it was ascertained that tho
steamer was not interfered with.

from Bill ledgevilJe.
The Milledgevilla correspondent of the
Chronicle and Sentinel says:
The crowd at this point is very large
—every place ia the city i crowded to !
overflowing. It is estimated that nearly !
2,000 strangers are at the Capitol. There
is very little excitement as yet; anxiety
is pictured on many faces. I have been
struck with the sedate, calm and dignified
appearance of the members of the Con
vention. There are very few young rnen
in it. Our young friend Briscoe, from
this county, who is perhaps thirty years
old, seems to be about the most youthful
looking member present. Gray heads
and bald heads appear on every side, and
spectacles are the order of the day.
With such men, such advisers and such
a Convention, Georgia can receive no det
riment. So far as can be seen from the
votes to day, the Convention is in favor
of secession. But “old heads will take
wise counsel,” and nothing hasty or pre
cipitate will be done.

Interesting from Washington.
Special to the Charleston Mercury
Washington, Jan. 16.—C01. ilayue,
the Commissioner from South Carolina,
has, it is understood, moderated bis
views since bis arrival here, and will re
main for several days longer.
The opinion is almost unanimous in
secession circles that all collision between
the Federal and State Gqveruments
should bo studiously avoided. Colonel
Hayne has been daily, since his arrival
here, consulting with the leaders of the
; secession movement, who are opposed to
precipitating hostilities.
It is believed that strong representa
tions have been made, within the past
few days, urging the authorities of South
Carolina to afford Major Anderson every
facility for marketing, aud obt lining
domestic supplies.
A plan is now before the committee on
Federal relations of the Virginia House
, of Delegates, which is regarded as of
great interest in political circles here.
; The idea emanated with Hon. E. A. Fry -
I or, Congressman from Virginia, and re
ceives the cordial endorsement of Messrs.
| Crittenden, Douglas, Breckinridge, W.
C. Rives, and other distinguished gentle
men—embracing all shades of southern
and conservative opinions. The plan
j alluded to is as follows :
First. There must be some definite and
conclusive settlement of the slavery
question, or separation is inevitable.
Second. Proposing the Crittenden com
promise, as amended by Douglas, as the
basis of a fair aud honorable adjustment
of existing difficulties, and as the least
which Virginia feels that she could accept
as n settlement.
Third. The appointment of a commis
sioner to each State in the Union respect
ing the action of Virginia, and inviting
from them a response to thia measure of
conciliation.
Fourth. A strung appeal to the Federal
Government to stay its hand, and avoid
j all acts which may lead to collision pead
ing the mediation of Virginia.
Fifth. An appeal to the seceding States
to preserve the existing status of govern
mental affairs within their limits, and to
I abstain from all acts which may precipi
‘ tate a collision.
A dispatch from a distinguished source
in Virginia says that there is no doubt
that this plan will pass both Houses of
the Legislature.
Similar movements will be made in the
Legislature of Missouri, North Carolina,
Tennessee and Kentucky. Arrangements
are making here for that purpose.
Russell has been before the special
| committee of the House of Representa
rives ia regard to the abstracted bonds,
’ and promptly answered the questions
which were propounded to him. lie has
also laid before the committee a written
; statement of everything he knows rela
tive to this matter.
Erroneous dispatches have been sent
hence relative to the defeat of Critten
. den’s compromise in the Senate. The
: subject will probably come up again to
morrow, under the motion to reconsider.
| Special Dispatch to the Charleston Courier.
Washington, Jan. 16.—Information
having reached the Post Office Depart
ment ihat the letters and correspondence
of Major Anderson had, by order of the
Governor of South Carolina, been sub
jected to the surveillance of the Post
Master and other authorities at Charles
ton, Mr. Holt addressed a letter to Mr.
Huger, making inquiry into tho matter.
The Post Master at Charleston replied,
under date of the 12th instant, that when
communication between the city and Fort
Sumter was first interrupted, and under
the intense excitement that prevailed,
and in order to avoid collision with un
authorized parries, a distinction bad been
made, by order of Governor Pickens, in
two instances, between the official and
private letters of Major Anderson. Sub
sequently, however, this decision of the
Governor seems to have been reconsider
ed. Mr. Huger says further that he now
sends all matter addressed to Maj. An I
derson and the officers and men in his j
command, under sealed cover; that he
continues to do so up to the present time
of writing, whenever an opportunity oc
curs, and that he does it without the
surveillance of the post office or other
authorities of Charleston.
Judge LoDgstreet, of South Carolina,
publishes a letter in this morning’s Con
stitution, in which he demonstrates from
| the correspondence of Ex-Secretary
Thompson that the gentleman was en
tirely ignorant of the order or movement
of the General Government to send Fed
eral troops to the South.
Lieut. Hall leaves this city for Char
leston to night. He bears orders from
the War Department for Major Ander
son, commanding him to defend Fort
Sumter and protect all Government pro
perty. The Administration has concluded
to send no reinforcements, and the pres
ent status is to be maintained. Matters
are to be left just as they now stand.
Later.—Washington, Jau. 16, 10 30
P. M.—Lieut. Hall was about to leave
this afternoon for Charleston, when he
received a dispatch from New Y’ork, in
forming him of the alarming illness of a
near relative, and he immediately de
parted for that city, where he will re
main a short time.
Washington, Jan. 16, 4 P. M.—The
Senate has just given a quietus to the
compromise resolutions of Mr. Critten
den. They were voted down by a ma
jority of two. Every Republican voted
against tho compromise. Intense feeling
was manifested in consequence through
out the city.
Washington, Jan. 16, 10 p. m.—The
entire New York Delegation called upon
the president to-night, and tendered him
men and money to support the Union in
tact, as indicated in the recent resolu- j
tions adopted by the Committee on Fede
ral Relations.
In the Virginia Legislature to-day res
olutions were adopted to send Cotnmis
sioners to all the States in the Union,
with reference to the present difficulties,
and, in the meantime, conjuring the se
ceding States and the Federal Govern
ment to keep the peace. The intelligence
was received quite favorably here. Mr.
Pryor left this city for Richmond yester
day, and explained’the matter before the
Committee to day.
The Republican Senators, who defea
ted the Crittenden resolutions to-day,
held a caucus to night, and determined
to move a reconsideration of the vote to
morrow. The moment it was known that
the resolutions were defeated to-day.
Senators Hunter and Mason telegraphed
the fact immediately to the Virginia Leg
islature. The news caused great commo
tion among the conservative members.
Col. Ilayne and Mr. R. N. Gourdin
still remain here.
The Senate to-day, for the first time,
filled the vacancies ia the Committee
caused by the resignation of Senators j
Hammond and Chesnut, of South Caro- j
lina.
Special to the Charleston Mercury.
Washington, Jan. 16.—1 understand j
that Jeff. Davis has addressed a letter to
Gov. Pickens, beseeching the restoration
of amicable relations with Major Ander- 1
son. whom he has long known. He
: vouches for Major Anderson as being as
honorable as he is brave, and for his not
abusing the confidence reposed in him.
He thinks that free access to the market
should be allowed, and that kind relations
being restored, all would be well.
The Hon. W. C. Rives, of Va., is said
| to be exerting himself, with other mem-
I bere, in maturing a plan of compromise
> with the border States.
Several Southern Senators called on
Col. Hayne today, and urged a modifi- j
cation of his views and demands, every
thing being important that will, if possi
ble, preserve peace. lam told by South
ern men that it is quite possible that the
propositions, as committed to writing,
will differ from those presented verbally
on yesterday.
Seventeen thousand nine hundred lbs.
of powder were placed on board the frig
ate Constitution, at Annapolis, a few days
since. It is believed that this step was
taken to prevent their being seized by
Maryland.
Washington, January 17.—Hayne has
completed his communication, but will
net present it to the President to-day. I
learn that his views have been much
modified at the solicitation of Southern
I men. The impression prevails here that
friendly relations will be restore 1 be
tween Fort Sumter and Charleslon, and
bloodshed avoided.
After confirming several unimportant
; Con ular nominations to day, the Seuate
j took up the nomination of Holt as Sec- i
| retary of War. The motion to refer the
nomination to the Military Committee
was defeated by a large majority. The
session was stormy. Muson, Slidell, and j
t others, denounced the President and Holt !
in violent terms. Bigler and Douglas
j defended them. It is also rumored that
i during the Executive Session, Senators
i Benjamin and Wade came to blows.
There ia considerable excitemeut this
evening amoug the Black Republicans at
a rumor which is rife here, that the Cabi
i net held a stormy session to day, because
| the President has resumed the peace
i policy, in opposition to the whole Cabi
! net. The Republicans are denouncing
| him to night.
Washington, Jan. 18 —lt is under
i stood that Hon. A. B. Greenwood will
accept the portfolio of the Interior De
partment at the urgent solicitation cf
i some Southern men, who hope, through
! hiro. to be able to check auy precipitancy |
| on the part of Buchanan’s Administra
’ tion. Greenwood is a strong Coos era
tionist, but is opposed to coercion.
Holt declares that his views have been
I misunderstood at the South, and that he j
| is not responsible for the existing state I
!of things. lie is much mortified at the j
i scene that occurred in the Executive •
session of the Senate yesterday, and yet
it is said that to day’s doings in the
Senate were but a repetition of tho-e of j
yesterday.
Roagau, of Texas, left here to day for
home. He goes back to urge Texas to
act with promptitude.
Dispatches received here to day from
Charleston, state positively that the
market Is open to Major Anderson and
his men, and that every courtesy has
been extended to them by the State
authorities. This announcement, for a
time, took the wind completely out of the
Abolition sails. President Buchanan
expresses himself as’ highly gratified at
this return of friendly relations between
Charleston and Fort Sumter. Great con
fidence is expressed by Southern men in
the judgment and discretion of Major
Anderson.
In the House of Representatives to day |
Sherman made a regular war speech,
calling boisterously, in allusion to the
Morris Island affair, for the protection of
the United States flag. Crawford’s reply
was a masterly defence of the course of
South Carolina. He fastened the respon
sibility of the whole affair upon the Ad
ministration. His speech produced quite
a sensation.
Special to the Charleston Courier.
Washington, Jan. 17.—Tho President
decided yesterday afternoon, and the
Cabinet confirmed his decision to day,
that the present status of the forts shall
be maintained. The President has per
emptorily declined to receive Col. Hayne,
or recognize him in any official capacity.
And, while asserting that the Federal
Government will not pursue an aggres
sive policy, he declares that, under no
circumstances, will Ft. Sumter be yielded
up to the authorities of South Carolina.
It is understood that this is theexact pur
port of the instructions given to Lieut.
Talbot for Major Anderson.
Lieutenant Talbot left this morning for
Charleston. Col, Hayne and Mr. Gour
din will leave shortly.
Arrival of Lieut. T. Talbot.
Lieut. T. Talbot arrived in Charleston
on Friday evening, says the Courier of
Saturday, from the fulfillment of his
mission to Washington.
On his arrival he took rooms at the
Charleston Hotel, and shortly after had
an interview with Gov. Pickens. He
brought dispatches for the Governor, and
for the Hon. A. G. Magrath, Secretary of
State.
He also brings dispatches for Major
Anderson, with whom he will communi
cate this morning. The nature of these
dispatches have not yet ttauspired. The
Executive Council, however, were in ses- j
sion up to a late hour last evening, en- 1
gaged, it is supposed, in considering the
subject of the dispatches.

Gov Crawford’s Address.
llou. Geo. W. Crawford, President of
the State Convention, on taking his .seat
said:
Gentlemen of the Convention :
In accepting the office just conferred |
upon permit me to say, that I am j
grateful for your kindness, and I shall j
bring to the performance scarcely more i
than the good intention of fairness and !
fidelity. Makers of your rules, always ;
subject to review and amendment, it will
be your interest, as doubtless it will be
your pleasure, iu upholding them. More
over, the magnitude of the cause ought j
to impart calmness in deliberation, for
bearance ia conflicting opinion, inflexi- j
bility of purpose, and above allunanimi- ;
ty of action. To your safe-keeping are ;
confided one tenth of the leading produc
tive labor of the South, and about one
half of the taxable wealth of this State.
Our constituents have declared that it has
been and is now assailed, without cause
and against good conscience. Tho me- j
nace of destruction, like the sword of j
Damocles, now hangs over it. They
have required redress among our corded- !
erates. They are faithless.
They have sought redress from the
Federal Government. It is important.— i
They now demand redress even though
it be outside of the sovereignty which
hedges us in. Already the stirring events
with which we are nearly surrounded
provoke inquiry. On either side his in
terest is our interest, his cause is our
cause, his dangea is our danger, and his i
safety is our safety. He is our brother,
and that brother’s eye is upon us and will
“Mark
Our corning and look brighter when wo come.” j

From Pensacola.
The Pensacola Tribune states that the
number of Florida and Alabama troops
at the fortifications is about 1,160. We
extract further, as follows:
There is reason to fear, from the anx
iety of the troops, that an attack will be
made shortly on Fort Pickeos ; but as i
yet, the commander-in-chief desires to 1
avoid the shedding of blood. It is fear
ed also that Fort Pickens will be rein
forced ; if sp, dreadful must be the fight
and the slaughter. The complement for
this fort is 1,000 men and 250 guns. It’
.they are landed by a man-of-war, 50,000
troops can hardly take it
We can but hope for the best. The
first drop of blood shed will be the com
mencement cf a terrible war. Yet Fort
Pickens must be given up.
We have so many Alabamians among
us that we almost incline to think we
are in Alabama. That State should de
mand this section at the termination of
this affair, at any rate.
We can inform the friends and rela
! tions of the troops here that they are
! doing well. No sickness of any conse
qence among them.

* DAILY SUN OFFICE, \
Columbus, Ga., January 14, 1801. j
There has not been so much activity in our
[ cotton market the past week as ths week pre
| vitas, and prices have declined from hi to %o.
per pound on all qualities. This, we judge, is
in consequence of the threatening state of
affairs between the Federal Government and
! the Southern ports, which are liable nt any day
I to be blockaded, and thus stop for a period the
| exportation of cotton to either home or foreign
porks. Already the blockade of the port of
Charleston has been determined on by Pre- i
dent Buchanan, to eolioet the United stab
revenues at that point. All other Southern
ports are up to this time open, but how long
they will remain so. it is difficult to say. Ala
bama and Florida having seceded, and seized
on the forts and arsenals within their limits,
may call down on them the strong arm of
Federal power, which fora short season will
cripple their commerce. Under these influ
ences, we anticipate some depression in prices
for some time to come.
The receipts in our city for the past week
have been very gratifying, amounting to 6,773
bales, being an excess over the same week last
year of 2.765 bales. The total receipts amount
to 60,619 bales, agaiust 91.249 bales to same dates
last year, allowing a falling off of 33,181 bales.

The general trade ot tire city is as good as we
could expect under all the circumstances, and
all parties seem anxious to pay their indebted
ness as far as possible: hence, wo do not anti
cipate so severe a time in the Spring and Sum
mer as was indicated previous to the opening
of the year.
We desire to call the attention of our readers
to the duty of sustaining our own manufacto
ries, and thus to a largo extent withholding
” aid and comfort'’ from our enemies. We have
located in our midst, cotton, woolen, leather,
and shoe manufactories, as well as flouring
mills, inferior to none in the country. The
same exist in other parts of Georgia, and in
Alabama; and if the proper amount of patron
age is extended those already in operation,
others of different class will spring up. and
while consuming largely of our staple product,
afford employment to thousands of poor but
honest laborers, and increase tho wealth of our
eounjtry ten fold. Let every Planter, and every
Merchant, and every Lady especially, make it
a rule to first bity of Southern manufacture,
such goods as they want, and after that look
abroad. The South is in groat need of a manu
factory of Negro Blankets and Wool Hats.
Why cannot the capital be subscribed in Colum
bus, and the Carter building, now standing idle,
comparatively, become useful in turning out
these necessaries, for which we now go to
Massachusetts ? A little energy by a few of our
capitalists would soon put such an institution
under headway, and accomplish much towards
redeeming our fair “Sunny South” from de
pendence on her enemies.
