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. —— Anything Midas touched was turned to B°ld. In these days touch a man with gold, and he’ll turn into most anything. 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. Young- Men’s Christian Association. At the regular meeting of the Young Men’s Christian Association of Colum bus, at their Rooms over the store cf Redd & Johnson, on the evening of the 11th inst., the following officers, elected for the present year, were duly installed: President —W. L. Lee, jr. Vice Presidents. —Thomas J. Nuckolls, T. S. Spear, Robert G. Weir and G. J. Peacock. Treasurer —Dr. T. T. Fogle. Recording Secretary. —Trezovant Harri son. Librarian —C. C. Shepperson. Corresponding Secretary. —J. Berrien Oliver. 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. Bread or Dibod. 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. i 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. The New Orleans Bulletin notices the organization of a company styled the “Orleans Cadets” numbering some 75 young men from 18 to 21. Their uniform was manufactured in that city, from gtey tweeds made in Georgia. Washington, Jan. 11. — The case of Kentucky against the Governor of Ohio, who refused to issue his writ for the ar rest of Lago, charged with having enticed a slave from Kentucky into Ohio, was set for to day in the Supreme Court, but the Attorney’General of Ohio having forwar ded an affidavit that a professional en gagoment prevented his attendance, eae was postponed until the Bth of Feb ruary. Kentucky was represented by counsel. — Two men, named Conner and Bungee were shockingly maimed by the explosion of a cannon at Macon, Miss., on the 10th inst. They were firing a salute in honor of the State of Mississippi having passed the ordinance of secession, and whi.e both were raming home the charge the gun fired. TELEQBAPmC. GEORGIA CONVENTION. ; ORDINANCE OF SECESSION PASSED. Raising the Colonial Flag! Mii.ledgeyile, Jan. 17.—Hon. James L. Orr, the Commissioner from South I Carolina, addressed the Convention to ; day in an eloquent speech; as did, also, j Hon. Mr. Shorter, of Alabama. There is ! a great deal of enthusiasm here, and it is asserted that the ordinance of secession will be passed by the convention in forty i eight hours. The convention met at ten o’clock this : morning. There was no business of any special interest transacted. The convention then adjourned until ten o’clock to morrow morning. It is reported that a test vote on the ordinance of secession will be taken | to morrow. Milledgeville, Jan. 18—The glori ous okl colonial flag was raised on the State House at six o’clock this evening, amid the firing of cannon and great en thusiasm. The banner now waves proud ly over the Capitol of Georgia. Five guns i were fired, one for each secedmg State. Bring out the guns 1 The Convention was in secret session all day. At four o’clock this evening the con vention adopted the following resolutions: 1. Resolved, That it is the right and duty of Georgia to secede. 2. Resolved, That we appoint a com mittee of seventeen to report the ordi nance of secession. The resolutions were passed by the fol lowing vote—yeas IGS ; nays 180. Milledgeville, Jan. 18—p. m.—ln the convention to-day, Hon. H. V. John i son introduced a series of resolutions as ! a substitute for those adopted These resolutions favor co-operation, and invite a convention of the Southern States to be held at Atlanta in February. The reso lutions were lost. During the debate Mr. Stephens said : If Georgia determines to secede, the sooner she does so the better it will be | for her. A flag of independence is now waving from the Capitol, and was saluted by the firing of cannon. There were also sky rockets, music, and other demonstrations of enthusiasm. Milledgeville, [lan. 19.—The ordi nance of secession was adopted by the convention to day at two o’clock, by a vote of two hundred and eight yeas, to eighty nine nays. The majority was one hundred and nineteen. The following is the ordinance of seces sion by which the State of Georgia was taken out of tho Union: An ordinance to dissolve the Union be tween the State of Georgia, and the other States united with her, under the compact of .Government entitled the Constitution of the United States : We, the people of the State of Georgia, in convention assembled, do declare and ordain, and it is hereby declared and ordained, that the ordinance adopted by the people of the State of Georgia, in the convention of 1788, whereby the Consti tution of the United States was ratified and adopted, and also all acts aud parts of acts of the General Assembly, ratifying and adopting amendments to the said Constitution, are hereby repealed, re scinded and abrogated. XVe do further declare and ordain that the Union now subsisting between the State of Georgia and the’ other States, under the title cf the United States of America, is hereby dissolved, and that the State of Georgia is in the full ppsses sion and exercise of all those rights of sovereignty which belong and appertain to a free and independent State. The Ordinance was adopted by the following vote. Those who voted in the affirmative are: Messrs.

The Ordinance is to be enrolled, and to be signed at noon on Monday next, A resolution was adopted, by the Con vention, to continue in operation for the present, all existing postal arrangements, Custom House officers, and revenue laws, and all other civil officers, and offices as heretofore. Mr. Alexander of Upson, laid on the a paper expressing the hope and desire that if proper guarautes- are given, that the Union may be reconstructed. A resolution was laid on the table for the appointment of committees on postal affairs; on revenue arrangements ; on the military ; on the judiciary : on foreign relations; on the Constitution of the State, &c. 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.” I Special Dispatch to the Charleston Courier. Interesting from hoalsißna, Nkw Orleans, Jan. 10.—The sis com panies which left this city to takeposees j sion of the Arsenal at Baton Rouge, have I returned, after successfully executing : their mission. Tho event was signalized I to-day by a grand triumphal reception An immense multitude, consisting of the military and citizens, turned out to greet them, and patriotic shouts rent the air. The Arsenal is now in the hands of the Baton Rouge military. Anew company, 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. Special to the Montgomery Advertiser. Latest Pensacola. Pensacola, Fla., Jan. 16.—The troops j at this point are all in good health aud spirits. The Blues are stationed at Fort Baran ets, the Metropolitan Guards, Indepen dent Rifles, Lownsboro Guards, and Tus keegee Light Infantry, at Barrancas barracks. The Pensacola troops garrison the Navy Yard. Forty Marines have been sent North on the Wyandotte as prisoners. Troops are expected hourly from New ! Orleans, Mobile, and Columbus Georgia. SHORTER. From the Pensacola Observer, 15th. Arrival of More Troops. The steamer Oregon arrived at the Na- ] vy Yard last evening from Mobile, having ! the following Mississippi companies on board: Enterprise Guards, Capt. J. W. O’Fer rel; Quitman Light Infantry, from Shu- ; qulak; Columbus Trifles, from Columbus; Prairie Guards, from Crawfordsville ; Macon Rifles, from Marion, Ala., Capt. i R. T. Royston ; Light Dragoons, (Mobile,) Capt. O’Ha ra ; and Capt. W. S. Taylor’s Company of Mounted Riflemen. We learn from the Capt. of the Oregon that a slight demonstration of hostility | was made at Fort Pickens as the steamer passed, but was permitted to pass without 1 interruption. A large body of troops are reported to ! be on their way from New Orleans. 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. Republican Overtures. Lancaster, Pa , Jan. 17.—Promiment Republicans of this State recommend that commissioners be appointed to the border States, pledging Pennsylvania’s full performance of her Constitutional duties, and the repeal of the obnoxious laws, for the purpose of securing the con tinuance of the border States in the Union. Maryland State Convention. Baltimore, Md., Jan. 17.—A county convention was held in Fredorick city yesterday, at which strong southern reso lutions were adopted. Delegates were also appointed to a State convention, in anticipation of one being called. Maine Arming. Augusta, Me., Jan. 17.—A resolution ; is pending in the Legislature of this State looking to the full arming of the State. Rumarcd Blockade. New Orleans, Jan. 17.—1 t is rumored here that the Federal Government de signs to blockade the Mississippi river, and the harbor of Pensacola, Floiida. United. States Senator. Indianapolis, lad., Jan. 17. Gov. Lane has been elected United States Sena tor from this State. from New York. New York, Jan. 14.—Judge Sinaliy, of the United States Circuit Court, in his charge to the grand Jury to day, de clared South Carolina guilty of high treason. 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. —— *- Dispatcli from Gov. Pickens. New York, Jan. 14.—The following dispatch has been received by G. B.

Virginia News. Petersburg, Jan. 19.—1,000 pounds of powder and 2000 of shot and shell went to Charleston by a special train to day. The powder and shot were from the Tredegar Works, per order of Governor Pickens. Special Dispatch to the Wilmington Journal. Raleigh, N. C., Jan. 10 —The Conven tion bill has not passed the Legislature ; —strong anti coercion resolutions have passed their second reading in the House of Commons. 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 Ticket for tbe Southern Confeder acy. The Waynesboro (Ga.) Nows suggests the following ticket for President, Vice | President and Cabinet Officers of the Southern Confederacy, (that is to be:) President —F. W. Pickens, of South Carolina. Vice President —A, G. Brown, of Mis sissippi. Secretary of State —llowell Cobb, of Georgia. Secretary of Treasury —John -Slidell, of Louisiana. Secretary of War —Jeff. Davis, of Mis sissippi. Secretary of Navy. —Gov. Perry, of Florida. Secretary of Interior —J. L. M. Curry, of Alabama. Postmaster General. —John E. Ward, of Georgia. Attorney General —John S. Preston, of South Carolina. * 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. The popular vote of Alabama, at {the recent election, stood, 35,776 for Imme diate Secession and 26,286 for Co-opera -1 tion. commeroia.il,. * 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.

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.
