AFFAIRS SAVANNAH.
FORT PULASKI TAKEN BY THE STATE.
We have been absent from our post for a
weeks enjoying a short respite from our arduous
labors, and on our return yesterday, we found
the entire city in commotion and laboring un
der the intensest excitement. Crowds were
collected at every corner, and pressing around
the bulletin boards with eagerness to read the
latest news. This excitement was created by
the despatches from Washington, which will be
found in our columns, and especially that from
Senator Toombs, who stands as a sentinel upon
the tower, for this State at least, and pledges
liis character and fame for the truth of his state
ments ITnd the soundness of his opinions. The
ordering of the Harriet Lane to Charleston with
sealed papers, (which,, by the way, is positively
contradicted bva subsequent despatch) the de-
- termination of the Federal Administration to
coerce all seceding States by force of arms, and
the appointment of Mr. Holt, who, though a
Southern man, Mr. Toombs assures us is “our
bitter enemy,” were the immediate cause of
commotion, so far as we could comprehend it
in the confusion that reigned.
The second feature of interest was. the arrival
of Governor Brown on Tuesday night, accom
panied by the Adjntant General of the State.
After due consultation yesterday, it was deter-_
' mined by His Excellency to take immediate pos
session of Fort Pulaski, on Cockspur Island,
near the mouth of the river. For' this end de
tachments o: fifty met), each, exclusive of of
ficers, from the Chatham Artillery, Savannah
Volunteers Guards ami Oglethorpe Light In
fantry—150 in all—were ordered to enter upon
the work of preparation forthwith and be ready
to embark for the fort this morning.* It is un
derstood that the battalion is to be under com
mand ofCapt. F. S. Bartow, of the Oglethorpes.
In addition to the despatches communicated
we learn that others, of a private nature,tweer
received by Gov. Brown, corroborating the
statements of Mr. Toombs in every particular.
We give full faith and credit to this information,
for we are unwilling to believe that the Gov
ernor would take so responsible a step without
a full assurance of the entire correctness of the
information upon which ho acted.
The following statement of facts has been
furnished to us by two highly respectable and
leading citizens, who are presumed to be fully
acquainted of the views of the Governor as well
as familar with all the circumstances connected
with the transaction.
We would only add our conviction, from all
we can learn, that the motive which led to the
movement was of a peaceful and not of a hos-

Insurrectionary Rumors.—The New York
Tribune of the 29tli alt., has a despatch and a
long communication from Georgia, giving an
account of alleged moyementsjfor a servile insur
rection in the south-western portion’of Georgia.
We have heard nothing of the circumstances
referred to, and have every reason to believe
the entire statement a tissue of fabrications.
Tns Treasury Loan.—The deplorable con
dition of onr country in the estimation of com
mercial and business men is seen,says the N. Y.
Express, in the taking of the Treasury Loan to
day,—at rates s.veraging from 7 to 3G per cent,
the average bemg over 12. The United States
has gone* through war and panics, bnt never
before since the days of the Revolution, been
reduced thus low in commercial credit, as to
sell some of its loans for 3G per cent discount.
Alabama.—The accounts of the election of
delegates in this State are conflicting. Some
say that the co-operationists have a majority in

Moore says the advocates of immediate seces

Montgomery papers of Monday contain uo in

Occupation of Fort Pulaski.
Our city, lor some . days past, has been the
theatre of great and continuous excitement.—
The military movements of Major Anderson in
the forts near Charleston, the changes and ra
in ors of changes in the Cabinet at Washington
consequent thereon, the conrse of policy indi
cated by the President in the appointment of
Mr. Holt to the Secretaryship of War—all hare
furnished topics of very serious discussion, and
have created impulses to action in the bosoms
of our people, almost irresistible.
There can be no question that, had not the
telegraphic wire brought rapid intelligence of
the- denial by the President that the movements
of Major Anderson had been made in accord
ance with directions from head quarters, the
forts in the vicinity of Savannah would have
been seized by a spontaneous movement of our
people, as against Federal troops, to the very
last extremity.
Nothing can be more abhorrent to the hearts
of our’people, nothing more shocking to their
sense of justice, nothing more indicative to
them of a determination on the part of Federal
power to grind them down into the dust by any
and all agencies, than the idea of perverting
fortifications erected upon soil ceded by the
sovereign State of Georgia to the General Gov
ernment for a specific purpose, that purpose
being the protection of her material interests
against foreign aggression, into instruments of
police coercion, to'snbject her people to a rule
which they may of right repudiate.
When, therefore, by the course pursued by
the General Government towards South Caro
lina, culminating in the forced withdrawal of
Governor Floyd, known to be opposed to the-
principle of coercion, from the. War Depart
ment, and the appointment of Mr. Holt, equally
well understood to be favorable to a coercive
policy, the future action of the United States
Government had been clearly foreshadowed,
public excitement was once again aroused to a
- Very high' point, and, but for the anticipated
arrival of Governor Brown in our city, an irre
gular movement of the people would have been
inevitable.
We are now highly gratified to state, that the
Governor has determined to take possession of
the fortifications commanding our river and
harbor. The wisdom of this policy seems to
us beyond all question. In view of all sur
rounding circumstances, the Federal Govern
ment has lorced it upon him, leaving him no
other course to pursue.
However much all may regret the complica
tion created by the i Unadvised movement of
Major Anderson, nevertheless the speedy with
drawal of the troops from Fort Sumter might
have measurably relieved it, and given tranquil
ity to the southern miud.
Assuredly there had been nothing precipitate,
nothing savoring of impatience, in the aetion
of South Carolina—^>n the contrary, while in
her view of existing relations, it had become
obligatory up»n the United States Gqvernrnent
to withdraw, at the earliest practicable moment,
Federal troops from her soil, yet she had pro
voked no hostile demonstrations against her,
of a military character. Tb. t demonstration
has been made. If has not been repudiated; so
far from it, the result shows that after long de
liberation, it has been affirmed, and the policy
i of coercion, through the agency, not only of
, Federal troops, ' but of fortifications ctided by
sovereign 8tate3, for widely other purposes,
as been clearly adopted, and men placed in
power to carry it into execution.
The Federal Government lias thns, by its own
acts, placed ns at the turning point of the pres
ent political crisis. The right of secession on the
part of a State, as against ihe-right of coercion
on,the part of the United States Government,
is the issue unnecessarily and aggressively pre
cipitated upon the South.
Nothing, therefore, remained for our Governor
to do, save to guard, so far as might lie in his
power, against the possibility of the same re
sults in the future, as regards Georgia, which
have been developed in the past, as regards
South Carolina.
Until the Convention shall assemble, which
is to decide upon the practical question of se
cession, we understand it to be his intentiou to
hold Fort Pulaski, not In any wipe to provoke
attack from the Federal Government, but to
guard against the loss of life which may be ne
cessary to its recapture, In case the same highly
reprehensible policy should be pursued towards
Georgia, which lias already been pursued to
wards South Carolina.
There is no division of opinion in our cotu-
munity as to the wisdom of his policy. He will
be sustained enthusiastically to the fullest ex
tent, at all hazard and any sacrifice.

Legislature, has been sent to the State Lnnqtlc

The Position of the Governor jELECT of
Missouri.—The Hon. C. F. Jackson, Governor
alect of the State of Missouri^has written a let
ter to the Lexington Expositor upon the en
grossing issues of the day. We copy the con
cluding paragraphs:
Had I been acting Governor of the State, I
should have called the Legislature together
before now, in order that tfiey might consider
the question of calling a convention; and at the
same time, if thought proper, to despatch a
Commissioner to South Carolina, Georgia, etc.,
asking them as friends not to go out of the
Union by any lmsty step, but remain with us
and meet us in convention, and, if go we must,
let us all go out together. Let us exhaust all
the means in our power to maintain our rights
in the Union, let us preserve the government if
possibly in our power ; but if after having tried
all the, remedies within our grasp, if these
should’fail—as I fear they will—Mien I say let
us dissolve the connection and maintain the
rights which belong to us at all hazards and to
the last extremity.
In any arguments upon this subject I have
thought it a waste of words and time to discuss
the abstract right of secession. To us it does
not matter whether it be a constitutional reme
dy or not. What right has the Black Republi
can or his allies to read us lectures on Constitu
tional rights after having violated with impuni
ty the plainest provisions of tha Constitution
for more than thirty years ? I pray that our
friends may not be betrayed into any rash acts
or measures. Let there be no threats, uo
bravado, no gasconading; but firmly and de
terminedly let us take our position in the right,
aud stand by it to the last.

The United States’ Credit Breaking
Down.
Mr. Cobb left the fedorni Treasury in a ter
rible condition about a month ago. No pro
vision had been made for the payment of the
January interest on the public debt, and Con
gress immediately authorized the issue of five
millions of dollars in Treasury notes. A very
short time ago the bankers would have taken
this loan very gladly ; but up to Thursday after
noon less than one-tenth part of the same re
quired was offered. The Sub-Treasurer of the
United States finally succeeded in inducing some
of the bankers to ra*ake up the sum of a million
aud a half at twelve per cent per annum. The
spectacle of a great Power like the United
States shinning for money in Wall street, after
the manner of a small trader shivering upon the
verge of bankruptcy, is certainly a most humil
iating one, and it affords the strongest proof of
the sad condition to which the country has been
reduced by the petty politicians of the day.
who, iu their mad struggle for the federal
spoils, have paralyzed the government, brought
us to the brink of civil war, and ruined the
national credit at home and abroad.
The action of the bankers upon the matter
of the federal loan is iu strong contrast to their
reception of the recent calls of the city aud
State lor pecuniary supplies. Beth the city and
State loans were eagerly s»ught for at a pre
mium upon the city rates, six per cent , and the
State seven per ceut. The State and city prop
erty are pledged for the 'paymeut of the public
debt; but the Federal Government, il the doc
trine of secession is be countenanced for a mo
ment, is unable to offer any such security. The
seceding States would refuse to acknowledge
any pledge of the public lands, and the govern
ment creditors are therefore asked to take
the risk of the repudiation of the bond
before they have time to mature.- Indi
vidual States would fare no better. The
rich State of Ohio had an agent in Wall street,
begging for money, a shore time ago, aud he
was compelled to go home with empty pockets.
South Carolina, the State which has lately gone
into the expensive luxury of independent sov
ereignty, could not borrow a dollar to-day at
any rate of Interest, and the credit of a South
ern confederacy would not be much, if auy,
better than that of the Palmetto State. These
warnings should not be neglected. In all gov
ernments, despotic or liberal, the bankers and
custodians of the private fuuds are the most
sensitive indicators of the real state of public
and private affairs. When they desert the Gov
eminent, or place it upon the level of ordinary
borrowers, it is time for the people to think
seriously of the state of public affairs. We
cannot bring ourselves to believe that this
Government is to be pulled down by a few mis
erable party politicians, and hope for a grand
reunion of 11 the conservative elements to save
the Union and restore peace axd harmony to
the land. The responsibility rests with the
Republicans and the President elect. The ques
tion is, what will they do with it ?

Fugitive Slave Remanded. — Christmas
morning, in Cincinnati, R. M. Moore, agent for
Peter Smith et. al., representatives of the estate
cf Eli Van Sinckle, deceased, swore out a war
rant against an absconding slave passing under
the name of Edmund Van Sickle, a hand on
board the steamer Collier. He had escaped
from Louisville nearly six months since. The
Commercial says that he was taken by Deputv
Marshal Manson before U. S. Commissioner
Thomas Powell, and remanded into the custody
of his owners. So says the Louisville Journal.
The London correspondent of the New Or
leans Delta says there has been an attempt since
the return of the Duke of Newcastle to recon
cile him to his daughter, who did not marry
against her stat ! on, bnt against his wish, Lord
E. Vane, the so l of the Marchioness of Lon
donderry, who makes £100,000 a year ont of
coals, and therefore can back her boy. But it
did not suit the ^haughty Duke, ns the antece
dents of the young gent were too well known,
and, in fact, he proved the prophetic views of
her father to be true, which was nearly termi
nating the honeymoon by a separation. The
Duke cut his daughter dead, and passed her by
in the street without the slightest signs of re
cognition. It was a match in spite of his teeth,
and inexorable the Duke continues still. His
trip to America has not effected the memory of
the wrong done to him by his child.
The Charleston Forts.
There seems to be a general concurrence of
opinion that Major Anderson, In spiking the
guns and burning the spin-carriages of Fort
Moultrie, and removing his command to. Fort
Sumter, manifestly violated the express un
derstanding between the United States Govern
ment and the authorities of South Carolina that
things were to remain in statu quo until nego
tiations between the two Governments for the
f ossession of the forts had come to an end.
n conformity with the agreement, we have
seen South Carolina refraining from occupying
Fort Sampler, the strongest fort in the harbor,
commanding Major Anderson’s position in Fort
Moultrie, and entirely undefended. There has
been no moment, from the commencement of
these difficulties, at which a corporal’s guard
from South Carolina might not have inarched
iu and taken possession of Fort Sumter, and
in twenty-four hour. 0 compelled Major Anderson
to abandon Fort Moultrie. And yet, with all
the manifest advantages of this step staring her
in the face, she has stood, like the gallant and
high-toned State she is, by her plighted faith,
whilst Major Anderson, with this noble exam
ple before him, and owing his existence aud
that of every man in his command to the honor
aud forbearance of South Carolina, seizes Fort
Sumter in the darkness, destroys the-property
of the United States committed to his care,
violates the agreement, and, on his responsi
bility, begins a civil war. All this is done
while the Commissioners appointed by South
Carolina are yet in Washington, prepared to
negotiate for the solution of that knot which
Major Anderson, in true military fashion, lias
cut with the sword. But mere soldiers are not
always overstocked with brains, and it has not
perhaps occurred to the great strategist, now in
command of Fort. Sumter, that in seizing a
strong position lor himself, he has lost a strong
er one for the United States, by depriving it of
its moral weight in the public opinion of the
South, and tbrowimr upon it the responsibility
of Beginning civil war, and beginning it by a
breach of faith towards a people to whose own
fidelity it was indebted for the power which
has enabled it to violate its own engagement.

1775 to 1777. He was present at the surrender
of Burgoync, and used often to relate the fol
lowing anecdote of that event. He said that
after Bargoyne’s surrender, General Gates iu-
vited him aud other British officers to dine with
him and his officers. During the dinner every
body was very cheerful and pleasant, or at least
appeared to be so. Gates sat at the head of the
table, and Burgoyne opposite him. There was
some laughter among those seated near the Bri

His officer explained : “General Gates, General
Burgoyne says he w ould rather take you for an
old woman than a soldier.” fc “Ah f” replied
Gates, “does he? Well, perhaps I am an old wo

"Public Meeting in Richmod, Va.—-An im
mensely large mass meeting was held in Rich
mond, Virginia, on Thursday night, and resolu
tions adopted which declared that the period
had arrived when sound conservatism demand
ed a revision of the Constitutional relations of
Virginia with her sister States ; recognizing as
the chief source of our national troubles the
anti-slarery sentiment of the North, which de
nies to the Southern States their rights in the
Territories ; nullifies, by legislative enactment,
the Fugitive Slave law ; poisons the schools,
the pulpit, the presB, the literature, imd, to some
extent, the administration of justice in the
Northern States ; paralyzes the aetion of Con
gress for all useful purposes, and has at length,
under the form of a Presidential election, seized
the Federal Executive, with the avowed inten
tion of so administering the Government as to
circumscribe livery, and to place it where the
Northern mind shall rest satisfied that it is in
the course of ultimate extinction; approving
the call for a State Convention; denouncing, in
strong terms, as likely to lead to civil, war, any
attempt to coerce a seceding State ; and depre
cating the commencement of hostilities by any
seceding State, lor the purpose of capturing
forts in her territory, before the formation of a
new Confederacy, should one be adopted, un
less in the opinion of each State such hostili
ties be essential to her safety ; and holding that
the question of peace or war, involving, as it
does, the rights and safety of all, should be
committed to the General Government of such
Confederacy.
The Japanese Embassy in China.—The
United States steam-frigate Niagara, with the
Japanese on board, arrived at Hong Kong oh
the 22d of October. They were visited on
board by U. S. Minister Ward, the British
Admiral in port, and other distinguished per
sons. The next day a boatload of them went
ashore, and attracted even more attention than
they did in America, crowds of Chinese dog
ging their steps all over the city. The Niagara
was to leave for Japan in a few days, and would
return to Houg Kong in six weeks.
Horrible Sacrifice of Life.—At Lagos,
west coast of Africa, November 8th, it was
stated that lhe King of Dahomey was continu
ing his wholesale sacrifice of human life..—
The number already murdered at this one cere
mony is 1,700, and many more await a similar
fateJLthe king considering that sufficient honor
is not done to the memory of his late father
until he has sacrificed 2,500. He had detained
ten European traders at Abomey to witness
these shocking ceremonies.
It is said that the ne,w Houses of Parliament
in England, which are built of magnesian lime
stone, are already crumbling into decay.

Augusta, Jan. 1.—A special despatch to the True
Democrat, of this city, dated at Washington, 8 o’clock
p. m_, to-day, says :
“The Cabinet is broken up, Mr. Floyd, Secretary of
War, and Mr. Thompson, Secretary of the Interior
having resigned. A coercive policy has been adopted
by the Administration. Mr. Holt, of Kentucky, our hit
ter foe, has been made Secretary of War. Fort Pulas

Meeting; of Border State Cougsessmen,
A Washington despatch, 28th instant, says:
About seventy-five Border State Congressmen
met in caucus to-night. Senator Crittenden
presided, and Messrs. Colfax and Barrett were
the Secretaries.
The following propositions were offered :
By Mr. Bartlet —Eleven amendments to the
Constitution on the Slavery question.
By Mr. Pryor—That any attempt to preserve
the Union between the States of the Confeder-
acv by force, would be equally unconstitutional,
impolitic and destructive of republican liberty.
By Mr. Vallandighain—The Crittenden reso
lutions.
By Mr. Colfax—That the laws of the Union
should be inforced and the union of the States
maintained, and that it is the duty of the Exe
cutive to protect the property of the United
States with all the power placed in his hands by
the Constitution.
By Mr. Morris, of Illinois—’That in maturiug
any plan for the adjustment of existing difficul
ties "' e w ill keep steadily in view the preserva
tion of the Union under the Constitution as a
paramount consideration.
After a desuitor}- debate, in which Messrs.
Cox, Pryor, Smith of Virginia, Clemens, Sher
man, Staunton, Colfax, Noel, Hinchman, Mont
gomery, McClern ud, Harris of Virginia, and
Harris of Maryland, participated, all the pend
ing propositions were, on motion of the latter
gentlemen, referred to a Committee of one
from each of the fourteen States represented,
to report at a future meeting to be called by
them, if they agreed. Adjourned.

the master have the right to retain the service of his
slave while sojourning or passing through the State.

a^veGoods and Pricey before purchasing elsowhefe
TO COTTON PLANTERS.
The result of the late eleotion, for President of the
United Btatea, 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 oar supplies have been mostly received, and a
return to.« ruoreJecUimafo «nd direct trade. To those
who desire to promote this legitimate and direct trade,
if there are any such, and they are at a loss as 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«if sale returned in gold and such
articles of produce as the planter may require. For all
advances, interest will be charged at seven per cent--
Charges on the other side, the usual commission for
selling cotton and purchasing supplies.
