The Georgia Ceavention.
We hare not been able to give the
proceedings of this interest ing Assembly
in full, owing to the crowded state of
our columns and the great multiplicity of
interesting news items from other quar
ters. The,proceedings have been char
acterised to a remarkable extent with
perfect order and high toned dignity.—
The very slight difference between the
two parties—the immediate secessionists,
and the co-opera tionists—that existed at
the time of convocation, has not been
the course of factious contentions, but
the great and good men of both parties
at the first made overtures to secure
harmony of aotion in the Convention
and to prevent any division among the
people of the State in carrying into ac
tion the result of their deliberations.
In electing the President for tlio Con
vention, Ex-Gov. Crawford and Hon. A.
U. Stephens were put in nomination.
Mr. Stephens at once arose, declined
tho use of his name, expressed an earn
est desire for harmonious action, ar.d
recommended the election of Ex-Gov.
Crawford by acclamation. This sugges
tion was followed and Mr. Crawford was
almost unanimously elected. After the
organization was completed, when the
test resolutions were introduced, viz.,
"That Georgia bad the right, and ought
to immediately secede from the Feder
al Union.” the vote stood 165 to 130.—
In appointing the committee to draft
the Ordinance or Secession the Presi
dent very properly put on it some of
the leading members of the co-opera
tion party, viz., Hon. A. H. Stephens,
Ben Hill, Judge Trippe anti some others
of less notoriety. When the convon
tion come to vote on the adoption of
the Ordinance it was carried by 119
majority, instead of 35 as was indicated
to be the sense of the Convention in
the test vote. But this is not all nor
even the most important exhibition of
the patriotic surrendering of prefer
ences. When they came to signing the
Ordinance, it is reported, that all but
eight members signed it, at once, and it
was believed these would do it the next
day.
We have here a most admirable ex
hibition of harmonious actions, and it
may be of incalculable value in estab
lishing the future position of our glori-
our commonwealth, now entirely free
and independent. In all our future
counsels may prudeuce, fortitude, and
truth prevail ; may demagogues bo
kept down and sound discretion and
common sense control all the deliber
ations of our people, who are now in a
state of painful uncertainty as to their
prospect of future prosperity and hap
piness. It is now necessarily a dark
time in our history, but if wise counsels
prevail, a glorious future will soon
dawn upon us.
TO THE CHARITABLE.
Ma. Editor : Allow me. if you please,
a brief spaee in your paper to call at
tention to a most laudable enterprise re
cently inaugurated in this city. The
ladies of Rome, seeing the need of some
active exertions to relieve the pressing
wants of the destitute poor in the com
munity, have organized an association
for this purpose, to be called “ The Ladies
Benevolent Association of Rome."
This movement has been prompted
by liberal Christian spirits, and its ex
pediency will not be questioned by any
persons of kindred sentiments, proba
bly by none. It is urged in its behalf
that there are a considerable number of
destitute people who absolutely need
some relief; and the high prices of food
at present, make it extremely difficult
for persons of this class to procure even
the necessaries of life. In addition
there seems to be less demand for work
than usual, so by this means some are
unable to help themselves, who are
able and willing to do so generally.
In the absence of any organization to
meet such emergency iberc is no ade
quate relief. A few liberal persons are
overburdened by demunds for private
charity, and many others able and will
ing to give are never applied to for aid.
Generally the least worthy are the
most forward in begging, and often the
moat deserving will actually suffer be
fore they will humiliate themselves by
asking relief.
God's Word declares "the poor ye
always have with , ou ,» » ud .. be lhat
giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord •'
and "it is more blessed to give than to
receive.”
The Association just formed, if en
couraged, will accomplish much good
by meeting pressing demands and by
systematic visitation. All that are
needy and worthy will be helped
cording to the meriu of each case.
This i« a .common interest, and it
should be responed to promptly and
generously.
Ikey propose to receive and disburse
monoy prt,vision,, clothing, old or new,
and fuel.
I take the liberty of naming the of
ficers of the Association without their
knowledge.
Mrs. Graves was chosen President.
Mrs. Cothran Vice-President, Mrs. Fort
Secretary and Treasurer.
The Board of Directors consists of
the three officers, and the following
names in addition: Mrs. Gregory, Mrs.
Bayard, Mrs. Hinton, Mrs. Ketchatn,
Mrs. Lam berth and Mrs. Sullivan.
Ladies are solicited to join the Asso
ciation, and gentlemen and ladies are
especially solicited to aid by contri
bution of money, provisions cr clothing
Having been present at tlie organi
zation of the Association, I liava un
solicited concluded to inform the pub
lic of the praiseworthy enterprise, and
to commend it to a cordial sympathy.

The announcement of the result, al

teen guns, one for each Southern State,
in honor of the event.
The bells of the various churches of
the city were toled all this afternoon.
The Ordinance will be signed on
Monday, all of the delegates will sign
it except about eight.
The greatest excitement is prevailing
among the young men present.
Arrangements are being made for a
grand torchlight procession to-night.
It is late and the mail closses. 1 have
time to say no more.

Judge Oreenwood, of Arkansas, has
been nominated by the President for
Secretary of tho Interior. He will bo
confirmed.
Collector Coloock, of the port of
Charleston, lias rendered his account to
the Treasury Department up to Decem
ber 29, I860, nnd has paid over tlio bal
ance due to Mr. Pressley, Sub-Treasur
er at Charleston.
It is understood that the Government
will give orders to the Sub-Treasurers
at the South, to compensate Hie mail
contractors there for what the Govern
ment hits engaged to pay them. All
that is due from them over and above
what they receive from theseveral Post-
offices, will be paid by Sulj-Treasurers
in each of tho Southern States.
The total paid by the Government in
this manner lastyear, in the eight Cot
ton State], amounted to about two mil
lion and a quarter dollars.
The Alabama Delegates will vacate
their scuts on Monday.
The Secretary of State, Mr. Black,
has informed Lord Lyons, the British
Minister, that no clearances of vessels,
issued by any other authority than the
United States officials, will be recogniz
ed by the Government, and that the
payment of duties on imports receipted
for by such officials, i. «., other than the
United States, will be regarded as mis-
payments, for which tho parties paying
them maybe held responsible to the
Government.

from tho State of South Carolina, has

remain in statuguo.
A company of Sappers and Miners ar
rived in the city today from West Point
Another company will come on to-mor
row. It is not known what disposition

The l’ostoffioe Department intends to
exact the same rigid obedience to the
Laws by the States which have seceded
on pain of the withdrawal of the. Postal
Laws as in tho ease of South Carolina
Mr. Hemphill, one of the Senators from
Texas, postively denies tho statement
published in the New York papers as
sorting his disposition to submit to the
Administration of Lincoln.
'I’he Georgia Delegation will probably
withdraw from both Houses on Tuesday
next.
There is no truth in the report that
Alabama bad requested her Congres
sional Delegation to return to the floors
of Congress. Not one of them have
been present in Congress since the pas
sage of the Ordinance of Secession by
their State Convention.

Whereas, Tlio lack of unanimity in
the action of this Convention, on the
passage of tho Ordinance of Secession,
indicates a difference of opinion among
tlio members—not so much as to the
rights which Georgia claims, or the
wrongs of which she complains, as to
remedy and its application, before a
resort to other means of redress; ami
whereas, it is desirable to give expres

in this, her remedy, with all its respon

GEORG IA STATE CONVENTION.
Mii.leductii.li, Gu., Jan 22.—A num
ber of resolutions were offered to-day
and adopted. Among them, was or.e,
appointing a Committee of sixteen to
report on the power of the Convention
to reduce the number of members of
the Legislature; declaring that Geor
gia will demand her share of the pub
ic property; another, pledging the
State to pay the mail carriers for trans
porting the mails in future; and anoth
er, instructing the Committee to re
port an Ordinance, authorising the ap
pointment of a Council of Safety.
Six delegates entered their protest
