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- ®Jje tmnim VOL. 3LZEI. -KTKTA TT, G-EOBQIA, THTJSDAY, XAJLTTJ^IELLr 3, 1861.

Ccrivkn County.—Two tickets were rnn for the Convention in this county^-nnd a friend who came down by the train last night, reports the vote at two precincts 35 and 259 as standing, for Secessionists 7G, Co-operationists 10. 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 the Convention, while a despatch from Gov. Moore says the advocates of immediate seces sion have a majority of some twenty. The Montgomery papers of Monday contain uo in formation on the subject. [communicated.] 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.

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.

Washington City, Dee. 25, I860.—It is not surprbing that the Republican Journals should be making all the sensation possible. For a few days the trick will have its effect in divert ing public attention from the menacing attitude Republicans now assume to the Union. But the attempt to divert public attention from the great cause of all our present difficulties jncl of those more startling and terrible which threat en us, by charges of corruption, will not suc ceed. I have looked into the grave charges these journals prefer against the War Depart ment in reference to the defalcation in the In terior Department. The transaction, so far as the Secretary is concerned, is susceptible of fair and satisfactory explanation. The govern ment cannot possibly lose a dollar by the operation, lienee there was no act on in this connection on his part to conceal, or that he is unwilling to expose.' Out of au expenditure of six millious, in the War Department, it can be shown as clearly as the noon day’s sun how even' penny of that money lias been disbursed and appropri ated. FIAT JUSTITIA.

The farm is managed by his second son, Air. John Farnham, who is now sixty- tliree years old. The old patriot was the father of seven children; the eldest, who .would now have been seventy-five years old, and another arc dead. There are five yet living. He en listed youthful with some of his jjeoramdes, shortly after Washington took command of the revolutionary forces at Cambridge.

He was placed in the rear iu charge of ammunition and stores, when the battle began, but as it proceeded was called into action. lie served in the revolu tionary army through three campaigns, from 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 tish officers, and Gates inquired the cause of it. 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 man—I delivered him safely of 10,000 men.” The following letter, written by the old man in September last, in reply to the invitatiou from Governor Banks and others, shows that the weight of a ceritury had not dimmed his facul ties nor impaired his enjoyment of life: Acton.

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.

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.
