Nothing Ims leaked out yet as to the mission
j sent hereby South Carolina, in tho person of
; C'l. iliyuc. I la’ 0 it fur granted (hat it has
relation to tho I'urts at Charleston, hut what is
the iuturo and extent #f tho negotiation I am nt
a ! i. t . to eorjccturc. On Souiiay last, Judge
llugho* of tho Court of Claims, 0/ ludiarto, and
a friend of the President sought an interview
with him for tho porposo of advising him to
withdraw tho troops from Fort Sumter, or at
any rate to soud no reinforcements. The Presi
dent said that bo had never for one moment on
tortainod the idea of withdrawing tho troops from
Ch.;r>>tun, or any other place, and as for send
ing ruin force moat*, he would not disclose his in
tentions t> any man outsido of his I'abinet. This
looks r.juallv. It is not believed, however, that
ho will take ar.y tlcei.-dvo steps towards coercion
and war until Congress directs him to do so, or
expresses the opinion that ho should do so. Such
an edict wilfptobably pass Congress next week,
<*r as soon us the Senator* nud Representatives
fin m the seceding Status shall withdraw and
lcavo the Republicans m a majority in both
Uuiu>iv. So .no nw doubts thu intention of
that party t’> force the South to eubiniseion, and
Mr. Uuehatian will inaugurate and carry out
their object for tour of itnpeach tuout. Resides,
lio is now completely uuder the control of Seott
ar.d Holt, who aro for coercion even unto civil
w r. All hi* Cabinet are now on that side and
w : soareelj have a hope of pear® left. A mili
tary force of Fuitud States soldiers, is being fast
coiiecntrutrdln thi* city aud vicinity. Tho os

awo* Mary laud and Virginia, especially the
funster aud keep J >wn the iecrs*ion spirit
amongst tbe people. It will say to Marytaud. if
you move we will strike you, and with a large
military force here, composed of U.S. troop* and
illy Volunteers, who aro all ultra Republicans
or aiitl-secc'<itonist4, and Wide-Awakes and oth
er military organizations iu tho border free States,
and all tbo Govurnmcut arm.t and nutuitin* of
war in their hands, Maryland will be kept still,
and will out dnre to chirrup. Besides, thcro is
a large party in the State, with Gov. iiiuk* at
its head, who symputilise with thu Black Repub
licans nu t aro a* hostile to tho South a* the
worst abolitionists. Thi* military Uamonstra*
tion is als intended !>• alarm Virginia and
with the threat of an immediate invasion in rase
of weesfli'in end war, they hope to make many
of her poi.pla shrink from the step, in fact the
Gov<mmeut i* n<Jw Lucoining a military despo

( Iwr >te you yesterday tbo interview between
| J'.iJgu Hughes and tho President. It was suf
j fickntiy indicative of the President's dcterintna
j t on nut t > withdraw the troops from any Sou
j them FurtS, rud of the other inoru importunt
’ rc&oive ©ud reinforcements and probably at
ian early day. Negotiations ate Dow going on
! betwixt Col. lluyoeou tbe pail of £ouih Caro-
I Itna and the President. Tbo objict i* to get the
j President to withdraw tho troops, do. The ne
gotiation will end without result*. The troop*
will iig* be w : hdrawn, and a* soon as it tormiu
*©►, 1 have uodout.thai run tor cum vote will b®
sent to Charleston Harbor, and they will be sent
with a funsidahlc naval and military armament
-several war ships will te sent, with heavy bat
teries, and With several hundred troops. Thebe
ships it they get over tbo har, will be fired upon
by tbo batteries on Morris Island, aud these
shi|Mt will open upon that Island, and so will
Sumpter, and alo on Fort Moultrie, and in tbo
last res->rt on C'harieeton. This will commence
the war in earnest, and if the Government ships
ana troops be repulsed, then the Mouth Carolina
troops will storm Fort Sumter and take it auy
sacrifice of life. Col, liny no now here, says they
ealculate on losing two thousand men, the very
best men in their army. His policy now is, to
negotiate ns long as possible, soar to gain time
lor the strengening of the defence* a. Charleston*
and lu ns well prepared as ponniblo fur the at
tack. What I want and hop® is, that no further
collision will tako place, until our provisional
government is formed, and then lot it tako the 1
conduct of affairs, aud ihc responsibility of ma
king un attack on Fortfiumter and other plaocs.
With this view. I shall regret to hear of an at
tack on !’ >rt Pickens. To make the nttock ut
th; 4 tlin**, will throw the odium of making the
war -<.i tho South, Ld&the States go out, form
a government, send Commissioners to Washing
ton to negotiate for a peaceful surrender of the
forts, An. If they should succeed, it would be a
mot happy thing—if they failed, then wc should
be justified in taking them at alfhazaid* and at
any cost; and ruch a step would be tbe action
of a combined Government of several States, and
not one only. It would be more imposing and
rej cctable, and tho danger and thu sacrifice
would bo divided, as it ought to be, amongst sev
eral hiatus and not 1.0 confined to one oir two.
We aro now in the midst of a discussion on
Mr. Crittondcu’s proposition. Unless tho Macks
recede ami smuo of them vole for it. it will be
defeated. Tho six Senators from Florida, Ala
bama and Mississippi are not voting and the
Georgia, Louisiana and Texas Senator, will de
cline to vote or vote against the proposition,und
without (heir votes it cannot bo carried, if the
Blacks vole in the negative a.- they have so far
done. They have as yet given no ; Ign of retreat,
iit not think they will give any, and T hope
they will not. Two votes to-day indicate their
doturnuuutuiu to ad hero to their platform and
their former position.
Yours truly, die.

licmarkiiblf Scriionat Divisions.
Thu question of imurodiato scoeasion hua re
sealed in Georgia a sectional division of the
Slate nearly n* remarkable as that existing in
Alabama, which is noticed in a letter from Mont
gomery cupic 1 iu this paper, in Uoorgia, all
that region north of the 34th parallel of latitude,
containing 3or 3tf counties, wo have reliable iu
f rmatiuii that only one county (Floyd) has
elected ‘parate (recession delegate* to tho Con
vention. The suowMioniirts claim two or three
more of them, but wo have no idea that any of
their delegates, except those from Floyd, will
\ otc f<>r immediate and separnte secession. On
tho other hand, ull of the counties (also 3d or
3b iu number) South of a lino following tire Al
tiimahn river from its mouth to Qawklneville,
u l thence via tho northern line of Sumtor and
Stewart to the Chattahoochee, have elected im
mediate swcession delegates, except tho counties
i, f'’ cluster, Torroll and Cofloo, which have oloct
c l c -..porotionists, and Clay and Stewast in
which compromise tickets were elected. In the
middle belt of counties between those two divi
sions. there imnuch division, and parties on this
question aro nearly equally divided. In this con
dition of things, any decisive action by the con
vention must be n triumph es ono section ovor
the other.

low* :
He v. 1, ‘it.at the provisions of the Cousti
rinion at® ..tuple for (be preservation of tbo
IU. und the protect ion of all tbo material iu
terenl* < f thu country ; that it need* to bu obey

lor in iron nous efforts to preserve tbo peace,
protect the public property and enforce the laws,
i it her than new guarantee* for particular inter
<. -, compromise* tor particular difficulties, or
conci fsions t” unreasonable demands.
IG.-ctdved, That all attempts to dissolve the
present Fnion, or overthrow or abandon tho
pr- nt Constitution, with the hope or expecta
tion of on.-'tiucting anew ono, aro dangerous,
illusory, and destructive ; that in the opinion of
th ■ g i..Ho id the l uitod Status no such rocon-
Ft ruction is practicable, and therefore to thu
maintenance of the existing Union and Consti
tution should be direct ed all the enrgics of nil
tho departments of the Government, and the ef
fort* of all good oiti/.ons.
On tho question tho yea* wore 25, nays 23;
u the resolution was adopted.
Tho 2.3 being nil the Repobliceo*—Douglas
was out of tho Chamber, and the Senators from
Tennessee, Toxn?, Johnson of Arkansas and my-
If declined voting. A motion was then made
to reconsider by Cameron, and that is yet pend
ing. It is sail that some of tho Blacks will veto
to reconsider, and then tote for Crittenden's
propositions, and s* carry them by a small ma
jsrity vets bat, that wsuid settle ssthisg, •• it
rei|uiroH two-third* of both House* to prepare
amendment* to tlio Const tution. Ido notthink
that any tiling will he agreed on by Congress,
that will satisfy even the bordur slave State*.—
Whether they will go out or not, depends a good
deal on Virginia. She u fast hastening, l hope,
toward* secession. Tho secession of seven Cot
ton Btat ~ leaving out Arkansas, will have a
powerful influence ou Virginia. But wo must
di*uhuso them of all hope of coming back into
tho Union, and force them to decide botweon tho
Southern and Northern Confederacy.
Col. liny no i* here to demand tho surrender of
Fort Suuilcr. But it. will not he done. Tho
President i determined on that point. Great ef
fort* are being made by .Southern Senators to
induce tho Fiosideut to send no. more troops
South, and South Carolina and the other secod
iug Slates to make no further effort* to capture
Forts, do. In other words, to keep up tho pres
ent status until a Provisional Government is
formed of ull the >.*ceding Slates, and iu fact,
until \ irgiuiu and other Status decide upon their
course. 1 hopo it will be accomplished. But wo
four a bloody scene at Pensacola.
Tbo President's nomination of a Collector lor
Charleston has never been reported back from
the Committee of Cuintnerco, of which Mr. Clay is
chairman. U will 1 o confirmed when the Sen
ate readies it, a* those who are for It, now have

Marly yesterday evening “Old Secession Gun” |

the glad face and many were the encomium*
heaped upon the Empire State. Tho majority,
report el I ID, \va much larger than was expect
ed. Gentlemen of high position say that tho pros
pects for peace aro brighter since Georgia lias
gone cut, than they have ever been before, and
we out siilers think Iho same. The position of
Georgia, both politically and geographically,
male It the more important that sho should be
one in the Southern Confederacy. About uiuft
o’clock lust night live guns were fired, one for
each State that has . needed. The work of de
fence still goes bravely on. The butteries will
soon bo in readiness to open lire upon Fort Sum
ter. The knowing ones think that there is not
the least doubt, of success, when they get every
thing ready. Time is wanted. v * I
They will nut attempt to take Fort Sumt r by

be very great. Supplies of provision are sent j
regulary to Fort Sumter, a* they arc riot allowed
to come after them. No person is allowed to visit

In the House of Representatives on the Ifith,
in reply to some assertions of Mr. Slunton, of
Ohio, containing tho seizure ot Fort I’uhcki and
Jackson by (leorgin:
Mr.Crawl nl of that .Stujc, said that, so tm
as Georgia wua couueruud, him hail taken tho
torts because they wr.-ru intended tor her protec
tion and Uel'eneu, and she accepted all the re-
Kponsibili’y.
Mr. Ktauton, uudrrrtood, then, rhe hud taken
on hersolf to carry on civil war by doing that
for which lhero was no pretence of constitutional
justification.
Mr. Mill of Georgia, remarked that so far us
his understanding went, Georgia liu* not sei/cd
any portion of tho public property. Forhaj -
Home bonds of soldiery, not huviug authority,
did no. Ho disclaimed tlm act on tho part ot
Georgii, acting os a State. (Cries outlie Re
publican side of “Good,” and slight applause, j
Mr. Crawford, Said that hi* colleugue [tor.
Hill and himself differed os widely u* the poles,
lie thought the net wuh justified by thu popular
vote of forty thousand.
Mr. Hill reumrkod that it was not hi purpose
to join iasue in a speculative opinion with hi*
e<illtuguv. it was yet to be seen whether the
people of Georgia approved of thu act. Whether
they would or not, lm did not know, but lie could
say the seizure of tort* Puluski and Jackson was
riot author:/, and by lire Legislature or any Con
vention ol'tho people. Ho hud boon always ho
ping for a police able solution, and trusted that
Georgia might find It. JJo now said, once lor
all, hu hid thought limn thu beginning that the
discussion of this subject would not bring thorn
any nearer to a peaceable solution, Ninco yes
today be bad boon strengthened in bis opinion.
Mr. Love, of Goorgi.t, vv.i not satisfied with
the explanation of either of hi* eolleagcs. lie
thought bulb positions wrong. The Legislature
of Georgia called a convention, which will pass
on the fact as to whether Georgia is bound to
maintain hor position. Intermediately, the
people became alarmed, and thought it probable
the Government would send garrisons and mu
nitions to tho forts at the mouth of the Savannah
river, therefore tho forts were seized as a defen
sive net. If the Convent i< n shall determine
that tho State shall not accede, then they will or
der tho forts to be given up.
Mr. Hardeman, of Georgia, t:ai i there was no
disguising tho fact that tho people of Georgia
knew a great revolution was going on, and that
the Federal guns were threatening a sister Blate,
therefore the Governor of ilio tftato, that lie
might protect the people in advance, took pos
session of the fort. This was not justified by thu
usage* o’ nations except in revolutionary times.
If Georgia shall determine to secede, no doubt
the act will be endorsed as a precautionary mea
sure of safety. If not, the forts will be returned
to tho Federal Government. If Georgia shall
accede, he was determined to stand by the act of
tho Governor, for weal or woo.

speech upon the Army bill, said, in voting for it
“ho did so in expectation of tho forces being used
to protect tho acknowledged property of tho
Uuitod States and to recover the forts and arse
nals taken, and to maintain the Union. “ if thi*
is their policy, hut ono duty is left us. It is to
meet the enemy. It is to defend ourselves. It
is to stand firm uml defv the world to subdue us.
It i* not an aggressive but a defensive war. It
is tho last hopo of our freedom and liberty. Those
who aro opposed to tho position taken by the

no doubt puss. But if all the Southern Senator*
were hero and votiug we ©ould defeat it. Holt
was continued yestorday, a* Secretary of War.
ali the Blacks, 20 in number, voting for him,
and all tho Northern DomocratH except Lane
and ti win. There wore also several Southern
men for him. llis Southern friends declared in
positive term* that he was not in favor of r< cr
cion, but none of us believed his declaration* to
that effect. Mclntyre will also be confirmed,
probably in a sow days, though Ido not think
the fulminidtration or its friend* are anxious for
It. Thoy would in fact have rejoiced if he had
been rejected. The Blacks new express their
determination to puss a bill, as soon to* they get
a majority in the Senate, to abolish ull the
custoin-bousc* iu tbe secod* and Stutes, und place
a ship of war outside the harbor to force tho
collection of the revenue on foreign ship - This
will cost the Podorul Government a vast sum an
nually to ksep up a continuous nnd ox:ended
blockade, and they will soon got tired of it.
I am satisfied that if tho Southern Cotton
States shall remain firmly out of the Union for
a few months, and Hie*® coercive meni-uri.* (of
any character) shall be adopted, they wi’l drive
all tlm slavo Stutes out to join us, and make 110
so strong that tho North will rue for favor mid
friendly relations. Some of their most promi
nent inen here now tulk about letting the South
alone, if the movement be a united one.
We still hope to obviate collision at Charles

ment is formed present such a formidable and
imposing front as to satisfy the tbinking portion
of tbe Northern people, that coercion or subju

shall then be allowed to goon in peace.

Columbus us wo run out of it, and before many
minutes had passed, grow into alioavy rain that
would have gladdened a farmer* eyes any day
tho past Summor. During our run to Opelika It
poured iu torrents, with an occasional lull to
give time lor a fresh gathering of clouds. About
dark the Sludge House catuo in sight and a hugo
bell was rung to invito tho hungry passengers to
supper. Tho ride from Opelika to Montgomery
was very pleasant to me, made more so through
tho courtesy of Conductor Donolson, who wins
tbo good will of all who travel with him. Tho
cars arrived at Montgomery about tcu in the

wa* comfortably quartered in our hotels. It iuuy
bo “carrying coals to Now-Castlo” to thus speak

bo some who will read of it with interest. To
such then it is particularly addressed.

their trip, and aro now anxiously uwniting order*
to march to more stirring scenes. They all per
form their duty well and bear their lot as a sol

tho C4>lumbu* military, who have been also, dis
appointed in not receiving orders. With such
soldier*, ready und willing to march at a moments
notice, brave, generous and strong, how confi
dentially cau we murch against our oueinies, no
matter what the odd* may ho. For one thing I
am very much pleased that theso troubles have
arisen—it has shown fully tho patriotism of the
gallant sons of the South, and their willingness
to buttle for tho honor of their country. The re
ward for such virtue must be victory.
There is little of interest to tell you about the

Tlio Convention is in session to-day and I am
informed by Muj. Chambers, aro balloting for a
Commissioner to Washington. Tho Legislature
is also in session at the Capitol. It is tho general
opinion here,- say* a member of the Convention
and a leading Co-oporalionists, that the Ordi
nance will bo signed almost, if not quite, unani
mously. Tho rumor that all of the delegate* from
the Northern portion of the Statu had refused to
sign is exaggerated. Like tho “Black Crows”
story of Byron, every thought grows rapidly the
wiiler it spreads.

Tho eight seceding States alone, possess a Ter

niuru 1 linn six time* us large as l'nisida, and near
ly six times a* large as England, Scotland, and
Ireland put together; while the alliauce of tbe
other Southern and border Stutes would increase
the Territoral extout of tho Southern Confederacy
mure than one third. Cun a country lik this,
occupied by a people who from their childhood
have been accustomed to tho most manly exer
cise, uml tho free use of firearms—hold, hardy,
restive under unlawful control—nnd numbering
within its bordtra 1,800,000 mon capable ot hear
ing arms, and who, with a few weeks’ warning,
could be marshalled at every assailable point in
bunds of 50,000 and 100,000— can, 1 say, such n
country, and so peopled, be overcome by any for

W ha 4’ is CoEitcioff ?—Tho Southern people
without distinction of party, will regard tho at
tempt to send moro troops into Charleston har
bor a* coercion. And U will he resisted to the
bittor end. The following, from the Wilmington
N. C. Herald, hitherto u radical and intenso
Union paper, speaks tho sentiments of every man
as tbo South:
“Tho Union men of the South will never sub
mit to any kind of coorcloh, and the first attempt
to exorcise it will drive even the most conaervu
tiro to immediate resistance. And when we say
coercion, we do not confine ourselves to direct
armed invusion by any means—that tho women
and children would resist. Wo mean that after
a State ha* declared herself independent, no in
vestments of tho Forts and Arsenals by Federal
troops for the purpose of executing tho Federal
law*, would bo submitted to. If tho object of
the Northern States is to save the Union, they
must know that force is tho lust mean* to be
used to attain that end. Foroo would be parent
to immediate and everlasting separation. If the
salvation of the Union i* not the.r purpose, or if
they are reckless of the utouns to he useil to ac
complish it, then thy aro right, and-—wo are
ready. The time is near at if it has uot
already passed, when not even a compromise
cun save it. Let them make a proper uko of it,
if they appreciate tho value of time, und havo
not detui mined to continue their course un
changed.'*
Salute in llo.voit ou Georgia.—Fifteen guns
were fired yesterday evening, by direction of the
Governor, in honor of Georgia, that glorious
and gallant old State- ono of the original thir
teen—having a few hours previously asserted
hor independence—added another bright star to
tho secession galaxy. The Tho larger guns hav
ing been sent to Pensacola yesterday to do more
effective service, iho “Littlo Texas,” belonging t<
Mr. Robert Fontaine, was undo to proclaim the
people's joy, whioh it did in tones sufficiently
loud and deep. As goes Georgia, so goes the
South.— Mont Ado.
Mind Yot a Bucunkss.—'The fi rat piece of
Continental money coined in this country, bore
tho terse but simple motto “Mind your busines*”
und if the people of the different suctions of thi*
country had followed it* advice, tbe best Gov
ernment ever devised by uiuu, ivould not now bu
on the verge of destruction. Tt is not to bo de
nied that wn of the North, (to say nothing of
tho other section#,) have disregarded the whole
some advice on the old copper. It is none of our
business; that other States of thi j Union tolerate
slavery. It, is not our business to rebuke them
for it—for we onco did the game. It i* uont* of
our business, that they regard ibe institution
with favor or disfavor. We are not responsible
for it iu amoral, or n political sense. If it is a
mistaken notion, we aro not thu sufferers; and
if wo wore sensible anil v (li.surcet, we .should'miml
our own business,’ and leave it. to those who
alone are interested in it* existence. It is no
hindrance to our prosperity, at least —but med
dling with it, ha.s at last brought a tornado up
on us which materially interferes with ‘ onr bu
siness!” Wo have now got considerable mote
on our hands than wo can attend to—even if it
i* not too late to “mind your own business”—
having none to tnind. Let us go buck to thu
philosophy of tho old copper motto as fust's* we
cau. Let h new emission he coined ns soon as
possible, that every man, woman and child, may
have ono to wear us u monitor, and a reminder
to common sense. Lot ore be nailed to the desk
of every abolition preacher in the land. Let
solemn presentation* of them he made to all dys
peptics who mistake indigestion for Christian
philanthropy, with the hope that they will cease
from mischief and “mind their own business."—

“It will bo pleasant and instructive to see what
