TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 1, 1860.
Supreme Court.—The docket of the Supreme
Court of the State of Georgia, to be held at
Savannah on the 2nd Monday in January inst.,
will be taken up in the following order: 1st,
Middle Circuit; 2nd, Brunswick Circuit; 3nd.
Eastern Circuit.
A Happy New Year.
We wish our readers one and all, a happy
New Year, and many returns of the same sea
son. It seems but a short time since we gave
utterance to a similar wish, but short as it
seems, the twelve months have psssed and
brought us many changes; some for sorrow and
some for joy. The old year passes away in
gloom and clouds, the hearts that are wont to
merry at this season, will bo restrained by
eavy forbodings for the welfare of our coun-
and a chill of despondency will rest on tho
Ich has heretofore been heralded with
demonstrations of pleasure. We would
,olay aside the cares which surround us,
step into the glad sunshine of contentment,
but not yet is it to he, a struggle is before us,
involving all the honor and dignity of our State
and the result oi that struggle must be a mat
ter for deep and anxious reflection to every pa
triot. But it was not our intention to be led
into examining the dark side of our troubles,
but rather to invoke every one to lay aside on
this day, so far as possible, the cares of busi
ness or politics, and make It a day of enjoy
ment. We presume the ladies as usual, will be
prepared, to receive calls, and have made all'
the necessary arrangements to appear as capti
vating as possible. The beaux are doubtless
ou the qui vive, and will make themselves ns
agreeable as possible, and what is not possible
for a man when he is under the influence of a
pair of brilliaut eyes. The gentlemen should
be careful not to eat too much lobster-salad, or
they may suffer as poor Doeslicks did, an ac
count of which is in another column. This of
all other days in the year, promotes good feel
ing and sociability, it is also the season for the
formation of resolutions to quit bad habits. We
would suggest to the Almanac makers, as a sub
stitute for their remarks on the weather, an al
lusion to this fact. “About this time looks out
for numerous good resolutions to he formed”
would be appropriate to run down opposite
the thirty one days of January. The credit
system will come in for its share of attention,
and “that little bill” will be found much larger
than was anticipated, and the caller more perti-
naceous in the demand for its liquidation. Well,
these a^e the ills of life, let us forget them to
day. W
The |Republican enters it sixty-first year to
day, and it sends its kiudest greetings to its
subscribers and contemporaries, it wishes them
•all happiess and prosperity, and trusts that
next New Year’s day will be a more ( cheering
one than this.

Liyhkpool, December 14th,#S60.
My respects were per Persia, since when the Canada,
City of Baltimore, Palestine, and Teutonia have ar
rived. We have New York advices to the afternoon of
the 1st inst.
The Emperor of tho French is constantly giving ns
surprises. We were only bidding fiirewell to his wife,
and trying to find oat why she ever came here, when
down thunders the announcement of u free press in
France—the last tiling we were likely to expect ut the
present moment.
Of course, M. de Pereigny is the author of the change,
having seen in this country how much good and how
little harm a f.ee press can do; but from the conditions
to which it is subjected, we mnst not be too sanguine
of the result.
The news fiom China, as; received by telegraph, has
already reached you. It is probable thut all the prison
ers were tortured. We have now done all that the
sword can do; we h .ve actually, with 20,000 men,
marched through a hostile ..onntry to the capital, and
of the confederacy which our fathers formed.
Our Union has existed, but in name, for many
years—a dissolution of good feeling and har
mony has long since taken place, aud federal
legislation is controlled by sections, and uot
by a desire for the good ot the country. Of
what value is a Union which lives with sucli
features characterising it ? Is it not far better
to separate at once, then, and form a confede
racy with such States as have a like interest in
the present, and a like destiny to work out in
the future.
The unanimity of sentiment in Chatham
county is so great that we have but one ticket
in the field, which, we are happy to say, cm- { taken it—a place believed to contain two millions of
people. The difficulty now is to find any one empow
ered to make treaties. The army will probably winter
m Pekin, and, by ail account", the place is well stored
with food and clothing.
The money market Is still feverish, bat the small ex
ports of gold this week give some confidence at the

Peaceful Secession.
The excitement at the South on the subject
of secession, has raised up any quantity Of
societies under names appropriate to the occa
sion, such as: “Minute Men”, “Sons of the
South”, “Blue Caps”, &c., not to mention the
“Rattlesnakes”, “Kangaroos”, “Alligators”,
and-others of a like nature, so that a stranger
would actually think that we were seeking
some opportunity all the time to vent our beftg-
ereut propensities. Now this is far from being
the case. It is true there have some acts
committed which good citizens, one and all, re-
repudiatc, but we are quite sure that no man
belonging to the first three mentioned associa
tions, had anything to do with them, though of
last, wc cannof speak so confidently. These
acieties are produced by an.inter.se excitement
sense of injury, but they will never
initiative in auy rebclfous movement,
resist any~encroachment, and stand
ready at a moment’s warning .to act on the de
fensive; but their policy is not aggressive, and
if hostilities or an attitude assimilating thereto
arc assumed, it will come from the Government,
and for the sake of every feeling] or humanity,
its policy ifftould be to promote fipeacc.
And why may we not have a peaceful solution
of our difficulties ? When has war accomplish
ed more than an arbitration ? certainly not in
half a century. Then why not commence, in
stead of end, with the arbitration ? Why not
talk together as Abram did to Lot: “Let there
be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee,
and betweeu my herdmen and thy herdmen, for
wc he bretheren.” Let reason, not passion,
guide us. Wc adjure thp Government not to
take a position which will compel us to resort
to anus.
It can gain nothing by it, the South cannot be
coerced, and the ravages bf a civil war may be
averted by coiniug together in a spirit of jns_
tice and settling upon a basis of dissolution,
and a fair division of public property. There
is no reason why the North and South should
not enjoy amicable relations, when separated into
two confederacies. The North would then have
“that damnable sin,” as they choose to callit t
away from them, and their government could in
no way be responsible for its existence, while
we, equally united, on the other side ot the
question, could dsvell in harmony together.
England docs not interfere with us, nor the
North with Cuba, then what is there to prevent
the North and South from separating peacefully
ing as neighbors and friends. % Tliat such
T resulti^desirable, we believe there are none so
regardless of consequences as to deny ; the
North as well as the South are interested in a
quiet settlement of our difficulties, and if des
tiny points in different directions for our future
course, why not pursue it with what energy
we may, only emulating each other as the
United States emulated England.
So much for the policy of peace, but when
you come to view the practicability of Federal
coercion, there is but iittle probability of any
extensive measures of aggression! by arras.
The “sinews of war” are not in Uncle Sams
strong box, and his credit is so much impaired
that the old continental notes are nearly as
valuable as U. S. bonds, aud when fresh ones
are issued to carry on a war to subject the
South, their value wijl be equalized. Then
ao-ain, where are the troops to come from. The
present army is so insignificant that it can ac
complish but little, and we apprehend that few
even of tli£ rankest abolitiouists will venture
thei r livq/to establish an abstraction. The re
muneration also, is so uncertain aDd the danger
such a positive fact, with nothing gained in the
cud, that wo can hardly see any probability of
jirolonged hostile operations. At the South
each Stitc is interested, while at the North the
the afiair is looked on as belonging solely to
the General Government for adjudication, and
tho States will not tax themselves to carry on a
war which wiil lose them so much if defeated,
and gain them so little if victorious. With the
lights before us, we believe peaceable dissolu
tion, not only practicable, but if wise counsels
prevail, a certainty. We are sure there is for
bearance enough at the South to accomplish it,
and if we are met in a corresponding spirit by
the North, the troubled waters will be smooth
ed, and the relations of the new confederacies
be marked by good will.

Editor Savannah Republican :
My Dear Sir—A letter, addrrsscd by 'me to
some of my neighbors, found its way lately into
yoqr columns. As in that letter I announced
myself a candidate for election to the Georgia
Convention, I beg leave, through you, to state
that I no longer occupy that position.
I need uot take up your space by recurring to
the many recent events which now make seees-
rfion a necessity for Georgia; but as the running
of two tickets in McIntosh county might give
the impression that there was a diversity of
opinion among us, I take this means of en
deavoring to undo that impression, and am,
Very respectfully,
Your ob’t servant,

46,500 to spinners; 7.450 to speculators; and 4,56) for
export. Quotations are altered to 6%, G3£ and G*£,
and there are at sea 144,000 against 250,600.
As I expected, we have had a larger busiuees this
week, checked, however, until yesterday by fears* of
dearer money and a further export of bullion.
The advices per Canada at last advised that a killing
frost had occurred, and that estimates, as a general
thing, had settled down to 4,000,000.
At sight of these and the small receipts in the Atlan
tic ports, with a probability _of holding back in the Gulf
buyers came boldly forward, but holders made no bones
about it; they said: “the cotton pays a profit—take
it.”
On Tuesday we were in possession of advices frnm
New Orleans to 30th Novcmher, quoting 9^ (gi 9.* for
middling, which created no surprise, nor is it generally
known on ’Change that it was a mistake for 10.* @
10^c.
As I hare said, a feeling of uncertainty existed until
yesterday, when speculators put m> an appearance, and
12,000 bales were sold. 4,000 of which were for specu
lation and export.
To-day the market has shown increased j-trength,
and with sa’es of 12,000, 5,000 being for speculation and
export, we close with a hardening tendency, in spite of
the dulness in Manchester.
The new cotton has been freely offered, and is pro
nounced unanimously of good color, clean, but of in
ferior staple, with a good deal of sand in the best of
it.
Uplands have been forced in some quarters, and a
decline of * a * on the grades middling and above,
has beeu submitted to.
There is an amount of certainty about this estimate
of four millions which must at once strike everybody
in the trade, but Ihetc is a certain calamity in the fact
that that amount is insufficient for the wants of the
world.
True, it may be months before we find any positive
proof of a coming famine, bnt come it will; and if
Liverpool has only reasonable banking facilities, Man
chester must knock under. Only let us get the cotton
from you at a reasonable figure, and I think we will be
able to show you, about this timo next year, that this
abused trade can be managed on ordinary commercial
(not leather) principles.
In Manchester, to-day, they were vory dull for both
goods and yarns—the former said to be accumulating
in first hands; but large orders for China are waiting
execution as soon as satisfactory treaties are signed.
Suratr. have been dull of sale, exporters holding off,
for the present prices are scarcely quotably lower.

selection of candidates, the Convention will
embrace an amount of taleilt and dignity never
before assembled in Georgia.
We have tried to believe that the Union was
valuable to us and should be perpetuated, but
each day briugs some confirmatory evidence
that secession, revolution, or call it by what
name you may, will bring us sooner and to
more lasting peace thau any other course. Wc
love the Union as our fathers formed it, when
friendship prevailed in all the hind, and Hie ex
istence of slavery was not considered a moral
and religious evil. We would love the Union
still, if it could be preserved on such a basis,
but when all these endearing sentiments are
wasted, and wc are asked to preserve a Uniqp
barren of fellowship simply because our fathers
formed it when every surrounding influence was
so different, we feel that compliance w’ould be
wrong to our £[tate. If we arc not mistaken, a
large majority of those who will go to this Con
vention, will entertain views similar to those
above expressed. The events of last week have
done much to settle this question, the hostile
array at Charleston has excited indignation, and
the little respect which was entertained for the
Federal Executive is rapidly passing away. The
cabinet is scattering and seem like rats leaving
a sluking ship, and if Georgia does not act
soon, there may be no public functionary to
whom she can address her ordinance of seces
sion.
A New Idea, Georgia and Florida.
A prominent citizen of Florida, and one well
known in our community, has favored us with
a communication to be found below :
Columbia, East Florida, Dec. 25, 1860.
Ed. Republican .—Wliat will Georgia say*to a
union with East and Middle Florida ? WoHld it
not result in advantage to both ? Georgia would
then be the Empire State of the South, and
Florida would be relieved from her inferiority
as a commonwealth, and become an integral
part of a great State.
No e i, in my judgment, can come of such a
measure, and much good would inevitably re
sult to both parties.
Florida will uuqtijjfrf.ionably go out of the
Union ; Georgia will uot, and that may be an
obstacle in the way of the consunmtion of such
a measure, but in my opinion, the Union of
these communities would result most advan
tageously. whether Georgia goes out or not.
With Georgia and Florida uuited, we can
take care of ourselves in or out of the Union,
and if we are so disposed, can form an inde
pendent Confederacy, and no thanks to any
body else. Milo.

TWELFTH DAY.
Charleston, Saturday, Dec. 29, 1SGO.
A Cheerful Frospeet.
. The Cincinnati Times is kind enough to in
form ns, in advance, what will be our fate If we
attempt to secede from the Union. Thus speak,
cth the bold, brave editor ot that journal •
“Whatever wrongs the State of South Carolina
may have experienced in the administration of
the*Federal Government, it is beyond the power
of her people to dissolve this Union. Every
foot of land within her borders is part and
parcel of the national domain, and the moment
the South Carolinians, or the people ot any
other State, haul down the national flag and de
fy the Federal authorities, they become John
Browns, and are deserving of his fate. We no
more respect the plea of South Carolinians for
secession, than we did that of John Brown for
insurrection; and holding that the people of no
one, nor of half a dozen States, have a right to
destroy the grandest Government ever framed
by the hands of men, wc are for coercion, prompt
coercion, and, if need be, bloody coercion! Wc
have no sympathy with, no mercy for, traitors
to this Union, and we would serve them all as
Virginia deposed of old John Brown.' 1 '’
We are much obliged to this Cincinnati editor
for giving us notice, beforehand, of liis kindly
and humane inteutions towards the people of
the South. It will be observed that he is not in
favor of any half-way measures. No concilia
tion, no entreaty, no temporising. He is in
favor of coercion, and of coercion that shall be
prompt and bioody.” He intends to shoot us
down, and haug us upon the trees of the forest.
We already feel a “binding” sensation about
our throat, as if wc were suspended from one of
the live oaks »ut at the Ddacbaise grounds,
where, last summer, onr citizens used to have
such glorious base-ball matches and/ries chani-
petres.
The people of the South, too, are likened un
to John Brown, and if they attempt secession,
they will become Jown Browns, and deserving
the same fate that overtook that enterprising
' old scoundrel. The Times asserts'that the peo
ple of ihe North will serve us “aft” as Virginia
served Brown. Much obliged to the Times. It
is said that misery loves company ; and there
fore it is consolatory to know that not a few of
us only will hang, but “all!” of us—every one.
We think we already see, in our “mind’s eye”
all the surrounding trees pendant with citizens
of the South—all the telegraph poles, all the
chimneys, and all t the eaves of the houses
garnished with dead Southerners, hung up by
that terrible fellow of the Times. What a
splendid spectacle it will be, to be sure ! How
happy an expedient it will prove lor making the
people of the South love the Union, anc strive
to perpetuate its existence !
We con less ourselves, however, unable to de
tect the felicity of the comparison. If there is
any similarity between John Brown aud the
Southern people, we are not aevive enough to
discover the points of resemblance. Tim
Southern people are making no war upon the
people of the North. They are uot destroying
property. They sire not murdering iaoffensive
Northern citizeus. They are not stealing, and
setting fire to the houses of the North. All of
this John Brown did to the South. If we are to
meet John Brown’s fate, we insist that the edi
tor of the Times, before he swings us up, shall
justify his action upon some other ground than
our identity of views and principles with the
hero of Harper’s Ferry.
Inasmuch as South Carolina has the hardi
hood, in defiance of the fearful warning of the
Time, to “haul down the National flag,” we
shall expect a speedy execution of the threat
of “bloody coercion.”* The Palmetto flag now
waves to the breeze here in the Cresent City of
the South, though we are not auite out of the
Union yet, but soon will be. The times editor,
therefore, in making his ferocious pilgrimage
to South Carolina to execute vengence upon
them, « la John Brown, had just as well call by,
and give us a little turn here, be ore he pro
ceeds upon his holy and benign mission. We
think we can guarantee that he will have “a
high old time” of it among our people.
To speak seriously, there is nothing in this
threat of coercion, except an- empty show of
bluster. We do not believe that actual coer
cion will be attempted. We have no idea that
it will be done, either by the Fedeaal Govern
ment or the Northern people. So far as the
latter is concerned, there are plenty of North
ern men to put down auy coercion measures
contemplated by others of their own section.
The threat of the Cincinnati paper amounts to
nothing: hut we have cited it only for the pur
pose of showing what disposition these crazy
fanatics would make of us it they only
had the power snd courage. All this, too, goes
to paove how deep-sauted and irreconcilable is
the antagonism between the sections, and that
nothing remains but separation. Every day
shows, more and more plainly, that we cannot
get along together in peace and harmony. If
there is any other etlectual remedy for it except
-separation, it has uot yet been discovered—
aud we do not belive it can be.—Y. O. Crescent.

To the President of the Convention:—By an or
dinance of your body, transmitted to me, I am
required to nominate immediately four gentle
men as Counsellors of the State. 1, tliqretore,
hereby nominate to the Convention, lor their
confirmation, Hon. D. F. Jamision, of Barn

C. G. Memmitiger, of Charleston ; and Hon. A.

Respectfully,
F. W. Pickens,
The President. What order will the Con
vention lake upon the message?
Mr. De Tteville. Mr. President, I move
that the nominations be confirmed.
The motion was seconded.
Mr. R. N. Goubdin. I move that the Con
vention go into secret session upon the confir
mation of the names submitted. I think that
this proceeding, so far as we have gone in open
session, is inappropriate and unfortunate.—
Counsellors have been nominated by the Gov
ernor for our confirmation. I am not prehared
to say there will be objections, but as it is the
prerogative of the Convention to confirm or
rejecttliesc nominations, I conceive we should
be in secret session.
The motion was adopted, and at half-past ten
o’clock the Convention went into secret ses
sion.
At twent}' minutes past 11 o’clock, the Con
vention adjourned till 10 o’clock Monday, after
having confirmed the Governor’s nominations.
The following was passed in secret session,
imim-diately belore adjournment:
Resolved, That as soon as the Convention shall
have passed on such questions as may be neces
sary to the public safety to consider immediate
ly, it will adjourn.
, The following resolutions came up for con
sideration this (Monday) morning:
Resolved, That the Governor be authorized
and requested, forthwith to cause to be enlisted

six mouths, at such rate of compensation, and

New Year’s Calls.
The New York Mercury publishes the follow
ing account of Doesticks’ New Year’s calls :
Made our last call at Wikens’—four daugh
ters and a mother. Strange effects of lobster-
salad ! nearly every young man who came in
had some fault to fin'd with somebody else’s
lobster-salad ; it seemed to have made them all
very thick in the speech, and very thin in the
legs. Young Tiddleboy and friend canie in. T.
addressed Phimata Wllkcns somewhat after
this style : “Good New-Year’s Philus Afelist}-;
don’t look at me—at my friend; lie’s been drink
ing lobster-salad, but he’s all sober—all sober—
so’rc I ma’am. Mauy happy lobsters—no, re
turns I mean, of course, of this ’ispicious cays-
liuh. Thank you, mum. How’s the old woman,
your father?—that is, your father, the old wo
man. Yes’m, very pleasant weather out doors;
wanld’vc brought you some if I’d knowd you’d
like half a pint. Your very g’delth muni.”
Tiddleboy, now under the impression that
somebody had given him something to drink,
picked up Miss Philista’s card-basket and put it
to bis lips, and, having thus upset the cards all
over the floor, reproved his friend indignantly
for spilling liis lobster-salad in people’s eyes.
His friend, meanwhile, had been alternatelj'
wishing the piano-stool happy New Year’s, and
tryiug to shake hands with the chandelier, and
hnd at last seated himself on the center-table,
and was calling for a boot-jack to put on his
slippers with. They were finally got out of the
way ; but not until Tiddleboy’s friend, who had
staggered against the sofa, had half pulled off
his~coat, aud offered to fight that beligerent
article of furniture, if anybody’d make a ring
on the piano.
Then came Peggins and his friend. Peggins
immediately put up his umbrella to keep off
the rain ; excused himself on the score of lob
ster-salad ; was helped to refreshments ; mixed
his coffee with his pickled oysters, stirred the
compound with his pen-knife, poured it out on
a sheet of music, laid another sheet over it and
tried to bite a piece out, under the impression
that it was a sandwich. When the mess he thus
made of hia shirt-front had been somewhat
cleared away, he noticed it for the first time,
and said he hoped Mrs. Wilkens would excuse
him if he put up his umbrella again—which he
at once did.
And so on for dozens; fellows all suffering
from violent attacks of lobster-salad, apparent-
lv, for all complained of it; some of them
tried to wipe their faces on the door-mat, which
they picked up in the hall, under the convic
tion that it was a pocket-handkerchief; some
tried to drink out the of the oyester-tureen,
and muttered something incoherent about
salad; one held up his plate before him like a
looking-glass, aud tried to comb.his hair with a
pickle fork ; one brought his new hat into the
parlor with him, sat down in it, and couldn’t
get out of it, till it was taken away in 6raall
pieces by Bridget, at whom he winked and sug
gested a little more lobster, too; one marched
up to an oil portrait of Mrs. Wilkens, held out
his haudkerchlef, and asked to have raon sugar
put into his punch; another addressed the
bronze statue ox Apoljo as “ waiter,” and asked
for a little more lobster-salad, and a plate, by
which name lie designated the sherry decanter,
which he presented, bottom up.
And, in fact, nine out of ten, who called after
noon were In such a condition of lobster-salad
that not a single one could positively tell his
head from a hay-mow ; yet, not one of them re
fused to drink, although some of them had dif
ficulty in finding the way to their mouths—and
their stomachs were often times in a state of re
volution.
Important from Brazil.—We learn from a
Rio Janeiro circular, dated November 6tb, that
a new fiscal law had recently been promulgated
at that place, which requires, in reference to the
manifests of vessels destined to the ports of that
Empire, that the marks, numbers and contents
of all packages shall be fully and minutely
stated and declared; and a failure to comply
with these requirements involves heavy penal
ties. The vague declaration that a package or
packages contains or contain merchandize will
not do. The contents of every package of a
cargo must be clearly and distictly stated on
the manifest. The export duty on coffee was
to be raised to 11 per cent, ad valorem, after tbo
first of January, by a decree lately promulgated.

TO COTTON PLANTERS.
The result of the late election, for President of the
United States, developes the tact, that there is a party
in power who are seeking control of our consciences,
and the destruction of our property. The events that
are,being developed, however, show that the Southern
States will not submit to be ruled by such a power.—
These political difficulties indicate a change in our
Commercial relations with the Northern States, from
whence our supplies have been mostly received, and a
return to a more legitimate ar.d direct trade. To those
who desire to promote thie legitimate and direct trade,
If there are any such, and they are at a lofcd’-is to how
to accomplish this object, I will say to them that I will
receive Cotton destined for foreign markets; will
when desired, advance one half the value of the cot
ton, at the port of embarkation; will have the cotton
shipped to Liverpool, if not otherwise directed, and
sold. The proceeds of sale returned in gold and such
articles of produce'as tho planter may require. For all
advances, interest will be charged at seven percent.—
Charges on the other side, the usual gommission for
selling cotton and purchasing supplies.
