gti-^ttMg Comict, ao*a> *^WlNEtLi Editor * Proprietor. Thursday »«w«»i Jmm'r I860- 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.

Mu.LKiKiEViLi.K, Ga., Jan. 19, 1861.— The Convention met at 10 o'clock A. M. The minutes of the proceedings ot yesterday were read and confirmed. Af ter prayer, a motion was made to go into secret session, which was agreed to. The doors of the Convention remain ed closed until exactly fifteen minutes past 2 o’clock P. M., when the firing of a signul gun und the lowering of the stars and stripes from the top of the Capitol, and the elevation of the Co lonial Flag of Georgia announced to the world that Georgia was a free, sov ereign and independent State. Through the kindness of the accom modating Secretary wc send you an ex tract of the Journal, showing the ac tion of the Convention. "Hon. E. A. Nisbet, of Bibb, from the Committee to draft tho Ordinance, made a report and submitted the fol lowing : An ordinance to dissolve the Union between the State of Georgia and the other States united with her, under t! e compuct of government entitled, the Constitution of the United States: We, the people of theState of Geor gia’ in Convention assembled, do declare and ordained, that tho ordinance adopted by til* State of Georgia in the Convention of 1788, whereby l lie Consti tution of the United States was rati fied and adopted, and ulso all acts, and parts of acts of the Central Assembly, ratifying and adopting amendments t< the Baid Constitution, are hereby repeal ed, rescinded and abrogated. We do further declare and ordain that the union now subsisting between the States, under the title of the Uniter States of America, is hereby dissolved and that the State of Georgia is in the full possession and exercise of all those rights of sovereignty which belong ar.d appertain to a free and independent State.

This is all of the Journal which the Free* has been permitted to copy. The announcement of the result, al though ex|>ected struck upon our peo ple with astounding force. The Milledgoville Artillery fired fif 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. i'he citizens of this city are now fir ing 10(1 guns in honor of secession. nations were made and uro still being made, by leading co-operation delegates which indicate that the Ordinance of Secession will be sigued almost if not quite uuanimoiuly. parable to E.

Important from Washington. 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. I.ntcr. Washington, Jan. 20.—9 o’clock.— Col. Isaac IV. Hayne, Commissioner from tho State of South Carolina, has ssnt his communication to the Presi- lont. It contains nothiug of impor tance except that affairs in Charleston 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 will he mode of them. 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. CONGRESSIONAL. Washington, Jan. 21.—Sen at*.—Mr. Hunter withdrew as Chairman of the Committee, on account of the change in politics in his State. The Senators from Florida Mississip pi and Alabama withdrew. There was an uffccting socne. Mr. Slidell moved a resolution of cen sure to the President, in relation to Holt’s appointment. The Kansas Bill was amended and passed. House.—The Alabama delegation with drew. Mr. Colfax introduced a resolution looking to the discontinuance of the mail service in the seceding States. The Report of the Committco of Thirty-three was read. Con*ui’s speech was ot a conservative character. The Post-office at Pensacola has been abolished and the service discontinued. All the mail matter is directed to be re turned to the Dead letter Office by the Post-Master-General. WASHINGTON NEWS. Washington, Jan. 21.—Numerous ap plications continue to be made by post master* in the secediug Statae for sup plies of postage stumps Betore the or ders are filled, an affirmative response is neeo—sry to the question, whether they do now and will continue to hold themselvea responsible to the Govern ment in conformity to existing laws for *11 the postal revenues received by them. Orders have befn filled accord ingly for such Post-master* ns follow the example of Postmaster Huger, of Charleston. adopted 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 sion to that intention, which really ex ist* among all tho members of the Con vention, to sustain the State in the course of action which she has pronoun ced to be proper for the occasion ; there fore, be it Resolve 1, That all the memliers of j the Convention, including those who I voted against the Ordinance of Seees- | sion, as well as those who voted for it, will sign tho same as a pledge of the unanimous determination of this Con vention to sustain and defend the State in this, her remedy, with all its respon sibilities nnd consequences, without re gard to individual approval or disappro val of its adoption. The Ordinance was then signed by all except about a dozen delegates, and those it is believed, will sign it to-mor row. lion. A. H. Stephens, Judge Linton Stephens, Ex-Governor H. V. Johnson, and others, friends of these gentlemen, were among those who signed the Ordi nance. Demonstrations on a grand scale are going on here to-night. ALABAMA STATE CONVENTION. Montgomery, Ala., Jau. 22.—The Convention to-day adopted resolutions, re-calling the Alabama Representatives in CongTvess, nnd authorising the Gov ernor to appoint Commissioners to Washington. 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 against the Ordinance of Secession, but pledged their lives,-their fortunes, and their sacred honor in defence of Georgia against coercion and invasion. An Ordinance was offered, declaring all white persons in the State, at the time of the adoption of the Ordinance of Secession as citizens of tho State, without, regard to their nativity or length of residence. The Ordinance was appropriately referred. A lengthy letter was presented from the Post Master at Savannah, detailing the evils of a change in our preset postal affairs. 'I’he letter was also referred. An Ordinance was adopted providing for the execution of sentences passed by the Federal Courts, and for the ex • cution of processes issued by the sail e Courts, and to preserve all indict.non R from said Oourts. An Ordinance was offered, and made the special order for to-monow. ci n in- uing in force all the Federal laws in ref erence to the African slave trade. It will be almost unanimously adopted. William J. Vason, Esq., of Augusta, has been appoiuled Commissioner to Louisiana. Gen. J. W. A. Sanford, of Baldwin, has been appointed Commissioner to Texas.
