FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 4, 18G1
Georgia and the Crisis.
The election on Wednesday decided the
course of Georgia in the present crisis of our
national affairs. The people have spoken and
rendered their verdict. The question has now
passed from the Press and from the hustings,
and it only remaius for the public judgment
to be pronounced by the duly autborzed
exponents in sovereign convention assem
bled. At this early day, in the absence of all
intelligence, it were Impossible to foretell the
result. Ail is guesswork and useless, though
in a short time we shall know the issue of their
deliberations upon the most important ques
tion that has arisen ip the history of the gov
ernment.
In the consist that has just closed, we have
taken occasion, as a public iounmlist, to discuss
with freedom, and whatever of ability we could
command, the great questions involved in the
controversy. We have tried, too, in our bum
ble tvny, to point out the line of duty, for our
State and for the South, such as w» derived
from the llghtLOf political science, the history
of government throughout the’’ world, our own
progress as a nation, a patriotic regard for her
honor and welfare, and, above all, a sincere de
votion to the prosperity, rights and honor of
the State of Georgia. What has been said was
the honest conviction of our bead and heart;
and, under all circumstances, we have accorded
the same rights to others that we claimed for
ourselves, and treated the opinions of all with
respect and even kindness. Such has been our
course, and in looking back upon the record,
we see nothing to retract—nothing to regret.
Our duty thus ended, as a citizen of Georgia,a
new era now opens before u*. Whether our
advice shall be heeded or not, we arc still the
loyal son of a generous mother, and her will
and her destiny shall be our own. Into what-
- .er paths her judgment to be pronounced at
the Convention shall lead her, there will we be
found, ready to cxecut eher will and fulfill her
every command. Her decision will be sacred,
and every good citizen will consider it a point
of honor and of duty to give it a practical ef
fect. The hoase of her sovereignty is a holy
temple, and nothing selfish or impure should
be’ allowed to enter there. That decision we
now await, with a pledge to honor it in every
way.that an undivided Jove for our native State
shall dictate or suggest.
Georgia Klectiony
We give below such returns of the election a3
we received up to the time of going to press.
Lowndes—Howell and Tillman, immediate
secessionists, elected ever Waidhour and Grif
fin, co^operationists by 108 majority.
Bryan—Hines and Slater, immediate se
cessionists, reported elected by a considerable
majority. _
JAffairs at the Fort.—From persons who
came up the river last night, we learn that tlic
troops despatched by steamer yesterday, arriv
ed safely at their destination, and immediately
went to work to prepare quarters and put the
fortification in a complete state of defence.
They are a working as well as a fighting body,
and should trouble come they will give a good
account of themselves.
Orders were sent up last night for reinforce
ments, to be composed of further detachments
from the Oglethorpes and the Guards. They will
bo sent down early this morning.
We were in error in stating yesterday that the
garrison was in command of Capt. Bartow; he
i9 only second, Col. Lawton being commander-
in-Chief. ~
Capture of thekevjsncc. Dobbin.—
Reports were current on the street yesterday,
to the effect that a party of sixty, some say
thirty, dropped down the river iu,a steam tug
Wednesday night, to where the revenue cutter
Dobbin was at anchor, and after taking posses
sion of the craft towed her to Cockspur, where
she is now detained.
The cutter was in command of Lieut.
ah aw

who, with hi3 crew, was on board at the
time. All information, however, with reference
to particulars, is so indefinite that we would
not vonture to rely upon them.
Further.—Col. Lawton, now in command of
the garrison at Fort Pulaski, hearing of the
capture of the cutter, immediately despatched
a detachment to take her in charge. The af
fair was promptly communicated to the Gov-
ernoi, now in the city, when he issued orders
for her immediate restoration to the officers of
the Government. All correot.
Florida Affairs.—We are indebted to the
officers of the steamer Everglade, for the Fer-
nandina Floridian of the 2d. We learn from it
that the entire vote of the city, 223, was oast for
Joseph Finegan and Gen. Cooper, “the straight-
out, immediate, ahti-comproralse, now and
forever secession candidate.-’
Gov Perry had passed through cn route for
his home in Alabama, having purchased in his
late trip to the north 1,000 Maynard Rifles, and
5,000 Minie Muskets, for the use of the State.
We learn from passengers by the steamer that
a plan is on foot to take possession of Fort
Clinch, in the vicinity of Fernandina, and arm
it with guns from the fort at St. Augustine.
Alabama.—There seems to be no arriving at
the true result of the late election for delegates
in this State. The papers at the capital arc wide
a pa it in their estimates. The Advertiser gives all
the counties except two and states the result.

Tue Etowaii Works for -Sale.—The re
fusal .of the aid of the State seems to have
proved disastrous to the Etowah Manufacturing
and Mining Company. We observe that the
entire property of the Company, estimated at
$400,000* is advertised by the President to be
sold al Etowah, to the highest bidder, on tbo
first Tuesday in February'. The whole State is
largely interested.in the success of this great
work, and we should regret very much to see it
go by the board. Its great trouble has been the
lack of capital, and we hope that it will fall
into hands who have the means to conduct its
operations with energy and euccess. From
what examination we have been able to give to
the subject, wc have no doubt the investment,
under proper management, would prove the
best in the southern States.
A Patriot of the Right Stamp.—Senator
Douglas has set a noble example of disinterest
ed patriotism to the northern politicians who
are standing in the way of their country’s peace.
While others are holding back and quiobling
under the selfish pretense of personal pride and
consistency, the Senator from Illinois has the
moral courage and manly patriotism to ignore
himself and go alone for his country. He is re
ported to have said, at a late meeting of the
Senate Committee of Thirteen, that he was
“prepared to do anything which the necessities
of the case may require, without reference to
any thing he may have done, or any opinion lie
maj^Bye advanced, in the past.” He is not
afraro»be called inconsistent, he has loftier
purposes than personal advancement when the
Union is in dauger. Were a majority of Con
gress constituted of such men, every State
would get her rights in ihe Union, and wo
should have universal-peace in "thirty days.

Munich, December 15, 1860.
The secession movements in the South of the
United States, have been welcomed with the
utmost joy by the greatest part of our European
monarclis and their train. They, the sworn
enemies of republics, that mode of government
which is most natural and humane, triumph
in the thought that America’s ruin is inevitable,
that a union of States without an Emperor or
King at her head, was a weak thing, easily to
be destroyed. When in company^with public
officials, who generally are blind servants to
tlieir masters, a few words are spoken referring
to the splendor and power of the great republic
on the other side of the Atlantic, you could be
sure of getting as an answer : “That only time
can show how long this new happiness and glory
will last; for it was a state of things too unna
tural that so many millions were allowed to
govern themselves; human nature was too weak
and full of faults—you will see in future that
this empire cannot last.” These people are
exceedingly inclined to consider the iast news
from America a proof to their assertions, a ful
filment of their hopes.
Then there is another class—men who take a
real interest in the fate of the republic, seeing
in her the only shelter and refuge for suffering
humanity. These feel sorry for the trials which
the States have to undergo now, but they con
sider, of course, the expectation of the above
mentioned party quite ridiculous. Great fears
are entertained by the capitalists, particularly*
by those who bought without the least knowl
edge of the security of their investments; they
hear now that the Union is in danger, and to a
great number of them the Uniou is quite iden
tical with American stocks. If the Union is in
danger, their stocks must be in danger too,
aud if these were connected as little as the
New Haven-Hartford Railroad is with the pres
ent secession movements in the south. There
are also others, who make what they
call a good speculation of all this trouble.—
I mean philanthropic bankers, who, in long ad
vertisements, complain exceedingly of the bad
state of affairs in the North American Union;
of the great danger for the European money
invested there; and at last make up, byofferiug
to buy such and such securities, at such and
such prices. An observer, not totally ignorant
of the real value of the more generally known
American stocks, remarks at the first glance
on the given list, that the philanthropist has
been very cautious in his endeavors for the best
of his suffering fellow-citizens; not merely that
his list contains none but really valuable secu
rities, he even notes them four or still more
points lower than the present course of ex- |
change. And, notwithstanding all this, I am j
sure many poor, ignorant people sell now; for 1
such low prices, and, when they receive their
money in cash, do not know how to invest it.
They arc at a loss whom to trust, since their
confidence in America has been shaken. Part
of our European States are bankrupt, and those
who can pay, give so little interest that it is in
no proportion with the common wants of life.
What a great capital is necessary for a man to
live with his family comfortable ou his interest,
if he gets o ly four per cent.! And nearly all
the European securities that promise more do
not keep these promises.
The dreary condition of European finances in
general has received a new shock by the latest
events in Hungary. The National bank in Vi
enna resolved to stop the giving of mortgages
on any possessions throughout Hungary’, and
would surely have called in those that are given
away, had it been possible. The reason of this
is the debates held in the session of the com
mittee of the Hungarian deputies in Pesth, on
the 11th inst. At the time when Francis Jo
seph gave to his people the well known consti-
stitutiou,dated of the 20th Oct., I wrote to you
of the incompleteness of this document, and
the discontent it had raised. In accordance
with this assertion, the above mentioned com
mittee resolved to send a memorial to the Im
perial government, the chief contents of which
are as follows: 1. Baron Vay, the present Hun
garian Court Chancellor, will have to justify,
before the assembled House of Representatives
his accap*aO*ft of Xliip exilic a, lor the diploma of
Oct. 20tli, did not totally restore the* Hunga
rian Constitution. 2. It is desired that the
payment of all taxes not acknowledged by the
Hungarian Constitution may be suspended until
after the opening of the Hungarian Chambers.
3. All Hungarian laws are to be rehabilitated as
soon as possiblo. It is clear to be seen
that all these transactions tend to Hunga
ry’s total separation from the Austrian empire.
With the rehabilitation of ali Hungarian laws,
the Hungarian legislature acquires the right of
calling back the sons of Hungary now shameful
ly imprisoned in the different fortresses of the
German Confederation. And if the children of
such a noble country are‘again assembled, then
farewell to the power and might of a foreign,
despotic government! In Pressburg, Kaschan,
Wieselburg and Marmaros comitatar county
conferences have been held, declaring them
selves for the restoration of their constitution
of ’48 ; all the political renegades, that means,
those who accepted offices from the foreign des
pot during the past twelve years, have been
considered incapable of being elected to any
public office at present. Merely the true,
strong adherents to the constitution of ’48, who
manly resisted any temptation during the time
ol reaction, merely those are deemed fit for the
acceptance of public affairs. Kossuth and
Fulsky are soon expected.
The same perseverance which is so cheering
to behold with the Hungarians, shows itself in
Hesse-Cassel in reference to the constitution of
31. Matters went on, as could be expected be
fore. The elector, this vilest of all crowned
heads, obstinately refused the res
toration of tlie old constitution; and
the House of Representatives, true to its pro-
jectSrileclared itself incapable of doing any busi
ness and separated. This bold deed, which is
but the beginning of a long list of similar acts,
has called forth addresses from the greatest part
of our important cities, even Munich included.
At the monthly meeting of the Nationalvcrein
m Francfurl-on-the-Main, the distinguished
politician, Max Wirth declared to the assembly
that from a number of Munich citizens, he had
received the request to send an address to the
Hessian house of Representatives, and that this
address should be sent from Francfurt, the
Metropolis of South-West Germany. Mr. Wirth
then read to the assembly the following me
morials which was universally accepted, and
signed with the names of all those who were
present:
“Hessian men, German brethren ! Your man
ly resolve met with a cheerful echo in all Ger
man provinces, and we too, feel ourselves
bound to express our thanks for it. You
showed yourself worthy of your proud, inde
pendent ancestors, who shook off the fetters of
Roman despotism. You have affixed a conse
crated seal to the ten year’s war which you
fought for the people’s highest good, the peo
ple’s rights. You have uow great merits for
the fatherland. To the German nation you give
a bright proof of citizens’ valour, by the return
of which Germany will awake to a better future.
Rely upon our help in days of danger.”
All the members of the Nationalverein living
In Francfurt, Offenbach, Mayence, Wiesbaden,
Hanan aud Darmstadt were assembled this
evening, and it seems as if the persecutions
which some of the members had to suffer from
the Graud Duke of Baden, had only augmented
the desire of J oining the Union. In the Badish
town Offenbach, a gentleman, a dis*inguished
citizen, by the name of Pirazzi, was imprisoned
three days last week for his connection with
the Nationalverein; At the end of the week
eighty citizens joined the branch of the Union
in this place!
The great Vienna defraudation process is at last
coming t-* an end : the proceedings were, of course,
very difficult, as the two chief persons among the ac
cused, Minister Von Brock aud Field-Marshal Von
Eynatten, had already escaped tha revenging hands of
justice, by suicide. Director Ricker’s advocate could
net refrain, in his speech, to touch that sub
ject. He could not clearly prove the innocence of his
client, and thereioro ventured to touch the Judges in
another way. He warned them to consider the bad
reputation Austria had received throughout the world
by the dreadful end of the two above mentioned men ;
that a verdict of “guilt” in Kiahter’s case, would total
ly destroy Austria’s good fame, etc. But he did not
succeed. Richter, the Director of the Austrian Credit
Bank, was condemned to one month’s imprisonment,
including two fasting days, and to the payment of the
sum which he presented to Gen. Eynatten, 20.000 flo
rins, to the benefit of the poor houses in Vienna.—
Some of the less accused have been set free, others
await their judgment. All Vienna is aroused by this
proceeding, and even forgets somewhat, for the mo
ment, the oppressing political situation. The Prussian
Minister of Justice, Simons, has received his dismissal,
because police director Stieber, accused him of a great
many wrongs, committed in his office some years ago.
Everyone is anxious concerning the courso of this af-
The National Flag and Anthem.—The
New Orleans Crescent very properly protests
against the repudiation by Southern men of the
“ Star Spangled Banner,” both as a Banner and
in Song. The glorious hymn which ha3 be
come national, is the property of the South,
written by a Southerner and is far superior,
both in sentiment and music, to the revolution
ary Marseillaise. The “ Stars and Stripes ”
were proposed by Washington as the National
emblems, and are supposed to have been sug
gested by the arms of the Washington family
which were similar in the colors and their ar
rangement. WheD the South retires from the
Union and asks to have returned all 6he has
contribnted to it, the national flag and the
national anthem ought to form no small part of
her claims. The Crescent says :
The idea is common that these arc Northern
hymns, set to Northern music. Hence the
manifestations of dislike with which they are
frequently received when performed in public
places. Now, no impression could be more at
variance with historical facts. These tunes and
anthems of right belong to the South; and as
they are glorious tunes and anthems, we should
cherish and perpetuate them, instead of throw
ing them back intft the possession of those who
have causelessly and wantonly become our
enemies.
These magnificent compositions first burst
upon the world when the whole country was a
slaveholding country; and like everything
great in war, peace, intellect and science, which
made our forefathers illustrious, sprung from
one general source. Instead of f baudoning,
let us claim them as our own legitimate proper
ty. They are a proud portion of o ar birthright.
Our whole people hare listened to their swel
ling straius with unalloyed delight; and tens
of thousands would almost as soon fight for
their presevation as they would for the protec
tion of their section—so strong is their rever
ence for, and powerfu^attaclimentto, the grand
old tunes they have admired and loved from
earliest boyhood to the present moment.
Important from jTexas.—The Legislature
Convened in Extra Session.—Gov. Houston, of
Texas, has convened the Legislature of that
State in extra session, at Austin, on Monday,
the 21st of January. The following is his pro
clamation, brought by the Orizaba:
Whereas, There has been, and yet is great
excitement existing in the public mind, arising
from various causes, touching our relations
with the Federal Government and many of the
States, and a portion of the people- having ex
pressed a desire that the Legislature be con
vened in extra session ; and whereas, the Exe
cutive desires that such measures should be
adopted as will secure a free expression of the
popular wili through the ballot box, upon the
question at issue, involving their peace, intcr-
terest, security and happiness, and the action
of the whole people made known in relation to
the course which it may be proper and acces
sary for Texas, as one of the States ol the
Union, to pursue, in order to maintain, if pos
sible, her rights in the Union, as guaranteed by
the Federal Constitution ; and whereas, our
frontier is n«w invaded by* Indians, and the
lives of our citizens taken, and their property
destroyed ; and whereas, the Treasury is with
out means either to defend the freutier, or
meet ordinary expenses of government.
Now, therefore, I, Sam Houston, Governor
of the State of Texas, for the reasons herein
set forth, do hereby issue this, my proclama
tion, ordering the Legislature of the State of
Texas to convene in extra session at the Capi
tol, in the city of Austin, on Monday, the 21st
day of January, A. D-. 1361.

a division of the State, and uniting East and
Middle Florida to Georgia, and the West to Ala
bama. I will not be surprised if this movement
assumes a formidable and influential position.
It will derive much strength from the present
disunion movement, ami if,, the Suite Conven
tion does pass an ordinance of disunion, a ufiion
with Georgia and Alabama is in my opinion, at
least, possible, if not probable/ What will
Georgia say ?
Will she favor the measure, or will she throw
cold water upon it ? I think she may very well
at least give it some thought, for if my reflec
tions upon the subject have not mislead my
judgment, it would be mutually of great benefit
aud advantage to both.
5 1 throiv out these hasty remarks by way of
breaking the ice—what say you to the measure?
Very respectfully,
A Citizen.

A Corporation with a Soul.—One of the
officers at Fort Moultrie, having a policy of in
surance in one of the lending Life Insurance
Companies in New York, wrote to the company
on tlie 22d inst., stating the probability that the
Fort would soon be attacked, and the certainty
that “it would be defended to lire last extremi
ty,” and inquiring what would be the effect on
his policy if he should fall. He was promptly
answered, that although the company was not
legally liable where the assured fell in battle,
yet, “If he should thus fall now whilst doing his
duty, he need have no fears but that his policy
would bo paid.”
Lola Montez.—A New York correspondent
says: “Lola Montez, who last suffered very
much from a paralytic stroke, caused by smok
ing cigarettes day and night, is now living in
Seventeenth street, spends her time in medita
tion and prayer, and goes by the name of Fanny
Gibbons.”
The Dominican Republic Sold to Spain.—
A letter from Porto Plata, dated Nov. 10th, states
that the little republic there, known as
Dominica, has been sold to Spain.
In New Haven, Conn., the carriage business,
owing to the troubles in the country, has been
almost destroyed. Many hundred workmen are
out of work. *
The gaoler of tfie Bristol (England) prison
has devised an improvement of the tread mill.
The prisoners'; at every step they take, call up
to view a letter or a word, and are thus taught
the alphabet and reading while they are at
work. By degrees, says an English paper, they
become able to read a chapter in the Bible.

COTTON.—There was an animated and advancing
market during the early part of the week, produced by
the advices from Liverpool, which exhibited an active
market on that-side, and large sales ; but on Wednes
day, inconsequence of the unsettled condition of af
fairs, aud to some extent because of a difference in the
views of buyers and sellers, the demand slackened, and
the market closes to-day quiet and unsettled, with
prices too irregular for quotations.

TO COTTON PLANTERS.
The result of the late election, for President of the
United States, developes the fact, 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 and 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 objeet, I will say to them that I will
receive Cotton destined for foreign markets; will
when deBired, advanee 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 the planter may require. For all
advances, interesi will be charged at seven per cent.—
Charges on the other side, the usual commission for
selling cotton and purchasing supplies.
Without conference, I refer to the following gentle
men:
Hon. E. A. Nisbet.■'Macon.
W. R. Phillips, Griffin.
W. ,T. Anderson, Fort Valley.
Jno. V. Price, Americus.
