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 YOL. ISK.. 3As-YTAsASTISf^EI., QBORGf 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. ®te State Secessionists 57, Co-opera tion is Is 41. On the other hand, the Confedera tion of the"Same day gives all the counties with the following resultCo-operationists 53, Separate State Secessionists, 47. The latter journal has the following es- timatc of the popular vote of the State, by Districts : Sep. Secession. Co-operation. 1st District 2,500 2cl 0,000 3d 2,200 4th 200 5th “ - 8,000 Gth “ 8,000 7th “ 1,000 10,900 17,000 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. as Editor Killed.—;The Clayton (Ala.)

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.

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. isto. 3 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.

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.
