We won id only ndimir conviction, from nil w*

Frtm the Sav'tmmh JfrpnOJtca*.
Uccapalivn of Fori I'ola.li,
Our oily lor *'ruu days past ha* boon the tl**;-
atru of great and continuous excitement. The
military roovcmonti of Major Anderson In the
Fort* near t.'iiarlcston, the change* and rumor*

tljo of Wat till have furniahed
topic* of very serion* diacuasion, and have crea
ted iiupulxus tu action in the bosom* of our pc-,
pie, almost irrusistibio.
There can be no question that, had not the
telegraphic nrjro brought rapid intelllgcnoe of
the denial by thu President that thu movements
ot Mai, Anderxon had ben made in aueordunce
with dim-lion* from head quark-n, the forts in
the vicinity of Savannah would have been *}*.
od by a *p*mtanoous aorsins'd of our people, u*
against Federal troops, tu lb vory last ml rum
ily.]
Hoihing can pc more abhorrent to tho hearts
of oar people, nothing more shocking to their
sense of justice, notliiug uioro indicative to them
of dctcnuiniuion on thu part of of Federal pow
er to grind them down into tho dust by uny
and all agcnult s, then the idea of perverting for
tifioafions erected upon soil ceded by the sover
oign Btalo of Georgia to thu Guneral (lovurnment
for a *|wdlln purpose, that purpose lielag the
protection other mute rial iutorusts ngainsttor
eign aggression, into instruments of police co
urclon, to rtftjcrt her people to n rule which they
may of right repudiate.
When, therefore, by tho oyurno pursued by
thu Gcutual Uovornuient low aids South Carolina
culminating in the forced withdrawal of Govern
or Floyd, known to be opposed to the principle
of coercion, from tlu> War , lieparlment, and the
appoint moot of Mr. Holt, equally well under
Mood to b* favorable to a cue Volvo policy, the
future action of thu Unitoi feHutwa Govcrmcnt
had been clearly ror>shad<iw*d, public excite
ment was owoo again aromad to a very high
point, aud but for the auliolputcd arrival of (J v
ertior Brown in our city, tin irregular inoviiuciit
o the people would have been incvitnblo.
Wean now highly graWticd to state, that, the
Governor hoe dU>rmmed to take p . -a i-ion ol

beyond Aft question. Til View of ad our sui
rounding oimuinstaiMwi. tt'* Kfikual Govern

other course to pursue.
However much all may regret tho conpiication
created by tile ill-advised movement of Major
Audorson, tu-vertbeies* the *{*<Hly w ithdrawal ol
the trm|’ (l ITotu Fort Sumter might have rncas
uraidy relieved it, and given tranquility to tho
Kouthuru mind.
Assuredly there had been nothing precipitate,
nothing savoring of inipntieuoe, in the net ton of
South Carolina—on the oontrnry, while in her
view of existing relations, it had become nbliga
torv upon the i'nited State* Government to
withdraw, at tho carlteai, practicable inouumt.

Tho Federal tlovtiemeßt has thus, by to* own

The course of the submission pres* in Georgia,

North that Georgia would embrace any fate

ha* hfcoo looked to with tr greater interest than
that of any other .Southern Ntale, aud her past
record In h.vor of tu© Union has been relied on
by the foe* of ac teaiuu and the advocates of co
crciou as a basis for the hope that her Convention
would declara lor Union and infamy. This hope
is now oblitersted. Gov. Brown has token a
position in whiuli he will be triumphantly sus
tained by Git* people of Goofgia, aud for which
tiu deserve* their plaudit*. Ha will fJrobably re-
cot vo ciitisure from those who arc willing to sur
render life, liberty and honor for tho boon of
dragging out a wretched existcß*© under the
vulgar and degrading bondage yf aw abolition
mob, hat the great popular heart of Geotgia will
cheer bias for his prudent foresight anl his bold
conduct. The act was demanded by the first

administration had proven itself to be too vacil

for Georgia to ark of it, or repose confidence in
