sensation Despatches.
In these times of popular excitement, when
evqry floating rumor.howver vague, is caught up
by the Associated Press and individuals, and
spread broadcast over the country, it is due to
truth to warn the public against placing an
undue amount of faith in the telegraphic des
patches which find their way into the papers.
In fact, for weeks past, it has kept tnc telegr*£|
busy to correct one day the statements made
an the day previous, lor all of which the Press
- has to pay. We might specify numerous in
stances, fresh in thev^collection of onr readers,
were we so disposed. We need, however, only
refe^to a few, as eases in point: Last week, in
tense excitement was created throughout the
south by an announcement that the Harriet
Lane had been despatched to Charleston, with a
heavy reinforcement for Major Anderson ; a few
days later, the Brooklyn was coaling Tip at Nor
folk, and about to take out fonr companies of
Artillery, with the same destination; and in
our present issue we find a large number of
marines about to take tlieir departure for Fort
Washington, in Maryland. The truth is, as ap
pears from subsequent jpjpatches, the Harriet
Lane is lying quietly At the Navy Yard, in Wash
ington ; the report hboqjutti* Brooklyn is flatly
contradicted upon official authority, and the
formidable array in:irioc fonffort Washing
ton dwiudles down to Sixteen men from
Philadelphia, who are simply changing their
post—an every-day occurrence in the military
department of the government.
From these facts, it will bg seen liqw much
of credit is due to the thousand and one rumors
that arc daily traversing the telegraphic wires.
The South should know all the movements of
the Federal Government In which she is inter
ested, but this trifling with the ntohlic confi
dence is wholly inexcusable; The only safe
rule i9 to believe nothing until we see it cor
roborated.
Delegates to the Convention.
The delegates elect from seventy-nine conn-
ties will be found in the list published this
morning. The Augusta Chronicle estimates
that in seventy-six counties the delegations are
about equally divflffed

Col. Pelote, on taking the Chair as the tem
porary presiding officer of the Convention,
said :
Gentlemen of the Convention :—We meet to
gether under no ordinary circumstances. The
rapid spread of northern fanaticism has en
dangered our liberties and institutions, and the
election of Abe Lincoln, a wily abolitionist to
the Presidency ol the United States, destroy
all hope fo.jiic future. We have, therefore?

and the
COMMISSIONERS OF SOUTH CAROLINA

The following correspondence was read in the
South Carolina Convention on Friday, in secret
session, and from which the injunction, of se
crecy was removed :
THE COMMISSIONERS TO THE PRESIDENT.
Washington, Dec. I860.
Sir .-—We have the honor to transmit to you
a copy^of the full powers from the Convention
of the people of South Carolina, under which
we are "‘authorized and empowered to treat
with ihe^Goyernuient of the United States for
this delivery of the forts, magazines, light
houses, and other real estate, with their appur
tenances, within the limits of South Carolina,
a’ud .also for‘an apportionment of the public
debt and for a division of all the property held
by the Government of the United States, as
agent of the Confederated States, of which
South Carolina was recently a member, and
gener.dly to negotiate as to all other measures
and arrangements proper Id be made aud adopt
ed in the existing relation of the parties, and
for the continuance ol peace and amity between
this Commonwealth aud the Government at
Washington.’*
In the execution of this trust, it Is our duty
to furnish you, as we now do, with an official
copy ot the Ordinance of Secession, by which
the State of South Carolina has resumed the
powers she delegated to the Government of the
United States, and has declared her perfec'
sovereignty, aud independence.

negotiation with the earnest desire to uvoid all
unnecessary and hostile collision, and so to
inaugurate our new relations as to secure mu
tual respect, general advantage, and a future of
good will anu harmony, beneficial to all the
parties concerned. .
But thCyevents of the last twenty-four hours
render such an assurance impossible. Wc came

Precipitation and rashness may
prove disastrous. But, gentlemen, while pru-
» ice and n proper discretion should character-
1 all our deliberations, we must not lorget
t tnis important crisis demands great firm
ness. I trust we are fully prepared to meet
the grave issues before us as true patriots.
Our Legislature, through purely patriotic
motives, has placed us in a conspicuous posi
tion. The eyes of the wgHd are upon us: and
our action willleffecl forljnjil or for woe, o»ot

And now, gentlemen, permnL ,wprd of ad

will, of necessity, artse a conflict of opinion as
regards the best means to be used for its ac

and must stand shoulder to shoulder iu the
great work before us.
mercy and goodness direct us in our delibenv
lions that we may arrive at the bestmeans to ae-‘
complUh the desired end.
Judge MeQueen McIntosh, of Franklin coun
ty then arose and said :
Mr. Chairman:—It is but seldom that men
are called upon to discharge the grave and sol
emn duties about to devolve on us—end with
nations, as with men, there is a Providence that
fashions their destinies. It is the blessing of
that Providence that we should now implore
to direct us in our future deliberations.
When the night of storm and desolation bad
overtaken him, Euryalus exclaimed, in the lan
guage of supplication:
**Tuoro solare in ojycm et succurre relic tar.'"
If the heathen could tiius implore the God of
of his Mythology, wc may appeal to the Chris
tian’s God to teach us to apply our hearts unto
wisdom, that wc may learn that which is right,
and do that which is best for our unhappy coun
try. I, therefore, move that the Right Rever-
aiid Bishop Rutledge be uivited to take a seat
by your side, and that thl9 Convention be
opened by prayer.
The motion was adopted unanimously, and
Bishop Rutledge was conducted to the Chair,
and he invoked the Throne of Grace to
sends its blessings upon the deliberations of
the Convention, and to enlighten the minds
of its members, purify their hearts and conduct
their proceedings iu the way best calculated to
promote the honor and interest of the Slate,
and the glory of God.
A motion was made, that a committe of five
be apppointed by the Chairs whose duty it shall
be to select a suitable place for the fitting <.f
the Convention. The mover stated that the Leg
islature will assemble here on Monday next,and
it was necessary that a suitable place should be
obtained tor the Convention to meet in. Tiie
Baptist Church was named as a place which
could be obtained. The resolution also pro
vided that the committee should report to
morrow (Fri;lay.) A member stated that to
morrow was thanksgiviog day. and lie proposed
that the Committee should report on Saturday,
and moved that the Convention should now ad
journ until Saturday, twelve o’clock. The
question was decided* by the members rising—
ayes 20; nays 24 So the Convention adjourned
until Saturday noon.
‘Friday Morning, Jan. 4, 18G0.
Col. E. Bulloch, the Commissioner from the
State of Alabama, and the Hon. Edward Ruffin,
from Virginia, arrived here yesterday. It is
reported that a consultation is now going on in
r-gard to the policy of taking immediate pos
session of the forts and other federal property
in this State.
Judge McQueen McIntosh, of the Federal
Court, and Col. E S. Blackburne, the Uuited
States Marshal in Florida, have resigned.
It is probable that an ordinance of secession
will be offered and passed about the middle of
the ensuing week.
For the information of your commercial
readers, I state that the quantity of cotton ship
ped from this point annually, is from eighteen
to twenty thousand bales. The freight from
here to Jacksonville is $1 65 per bale; to Fer-
nandina, SI 93; and to St. Marks, 62^ cents per
hale. Cotton is transported from Tallahassee
: to New York, via Fernandina, for ?4 50 per
; bale, and when not stored at Fernandina $4 38
per bale.
About 12,000 bales of cotton have been re
ceived here since the 1st of September.

vention of the People of South Carolina,” au
thorizing yofi to treat with the Government of
the United States on varioMOmportant subjects
therein mentioned, and also.a copy of the ordi
nance. bearing date on the 20th inst., declaring
that “ the Union now subsisting between
South C other States, under the
name of the, ‘United States of America,’ is
hereby dissolved.”
In answer to this communication, I hjive to
say, that my x*osition; *s President of the United
States, was clearly defined in the Message to
Congress on the 3d insr. In that I stated that,
“apart from the execution of the laws, so far
as this may be practicable, the Executive has
no authority to decide what shall hay the rela-
ralh
such discretion. He possesses no power to period of our history, si
change the relations heretofore existing other rapidly. *
tween them, much leas to acknowledge the ,i.,.......5^,,..
independence of that State. This would be to
invest a mere executive ofliccr with .he power
of recognizing the dissolution of the confed
eracy among our thirty-three sovereign States.
It bears no resemblance to the recognition of a
foreign dc facto government involving no such
responsibility. Any attempt to do this would,
ou his part, be a naked act of usurpation. It
is, therefore, ray duty to submit to Congress
the whole question in all its bearings.”
Such is ray opinion still. I could therefore
meet you only as a private gentlemen of the
highest character, and was entirely willing to
communicate to Congress any proposition you
might have to make to that body upon the sub
ject. Of this you were well aware. It was iuv
earnest desire that such a disposition might be
made of the whole subject by Congress, who
alone possess the power, as to preveut tiie in
auguration of a civil war between the parties in
regard to the possession of the Federal forts ic
the harbor of Charleston ; and I therefore deep
ly regret, that, in your opinion “the events o.
thc last twenty-four hours render this impos
sible.”
In conclusion you urge upon me the “immedi
ate withdrawal of Lhe troops from the harbor of
Charleston,” stating that “under present cir
cumstances they are a standing menace which
renders negotiation impossible, and as our re
cent experience show, threatens speedly to
bring to a bloody issue questions which ough
to be settled with temperance and judgment.”
The reason for this change in your posilior
it. that since your arrival in Washington, “an
officer of the United States, acting as we (you)
are assured not only without, but against your
(my) orders, has dismantled one fort and oc
cupied another, thus altering io a most impor
tant extent to the condition of affairs underwhich
we (you) came.” You also allege that you came
here “the Representatives of an authority
which could at any time within the past sixty
days, have taken possession of the forts in
Charleston harbor, but which, upon pledges
given in a manner that we (you) cannot doubt,
determined to trust to your (my) honor rather
than to its power.”
This brings me to a consideration of the nature
of those alleged pledges and in what manner
they have been observed. In my message of the
3d ol December last,I stated,iu regard to the
property of the United States in South Carolina,
th *t it “has been purchased fora fair equivalent
by the consent of the Legislature of the State,
for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals.

particular, which does not in any degree affect
the present question. Under these circumstances
it is clear that Major Anderson acted upon his
own responsibility and without authority, un
less, indeed, he had* “ tangible evidence of a
design to proceed to a hostile act” on the part

On the very day. the 27th iustant, that posses
sion of these two forts was taken, the Palmetto
flag was raised over t je Federal Custom House
and Postoffice in Charleston, and ou the same
day every officer of the Customs—Collector,
Naval Officer, Surveyor and Appraiser—resigned
their offices. And this, although it was well
known from the language of my Message, that,
as an Executive officer, I felt myself bound to
collect the revenue at the port of Charleston
under the existing laws. In the harbor oF
Charleston we now find three forts confronting
each other, over all ot which the Federal flag
floated only four days ago ; but now, over two
of them this flag has been supplanted, and
the Palmetto flag has been substituted in its
stead.
It is understood all these circumstances that
I am urged immediately to withdraw the troops
from the harbor of Charleston, and am inform
ed that without this, negotiation is impossible.
This I cannot do; this I. will not do. Such an
idea was never thought of by me in any possible
contingency. No allusion had been made in
any communication between myself and any
human being. But the inference is, that I am
bound to withdraw the troops from tbe ouly
fort remaining in the possession of the United
States, in the harbor of Charleston, because the
officer there in command of all the forts,
thought proper, without instructions, to change
his position from one of them to another.
At this point of writing I have received in
form: t On by telegraph, from Captain Hum
phreys, in command of the Arsenal. aL Charles
ton, that “it has to-day (Sunday, the 30th,)
been taken by force of arms.” It is estimated
that the munitions of war belonging to the
United States iu this Arsenal are worth half a
million of dollars.
Comment is needless. After this information,
I have only to add, that whilst it is my duty to
defend Fort Sumter, as a portion of the public
property of the United States against hostile
attacks from whatever quarter they may come,
by such means as I may possess for this purpose,
I do not perceive how such a defence can be
consumed into a menace against the city ol
Charleston.
With great personal regard, I remain yours
very respectfully, James Buchanan.

for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenal:
&c., and *ver these the authority to exer
cise exclusive legislation, has been expressly
granted by the Constitution to Congress. It is
not believed that any attempt will be made to
expel the United States from this property by
force ; but if in this I should prove id be mis
taken, the officer in command of the forts bas
received orders to act strictly on the defensive;
in such a contingency,the responsibility for con
sequences would rightfully rest upon the heads
of the assailants.”
This being the condition of the parties, on
Saturday, 8th December, four of the Represen
tatives from South Carolina called on me, and
requested an interview. We had an earnest
conversation on the subject of these forts, and
the best means of preventing a collision be
tween the parties, for tbe purpose of sparing
the effusion of blood, I suggested, for pruden
tial reasons, that it would be best to put in
writing what they said to me - verbally. They
did so accordingly, and on Monday morning,
the 10th instant, three of them presented to me
a paper, signed by all the Representatives from
South Carolina with a single exception, of which
the following Is a copy :
To His Excellency Janus Buchanan,
President United States:
In compliance with our statement to you yes
terday, we now express to you our strong con
victions that neither the constituted authorities
nor any body of tbe people of tbe State of South
Carolina, will either attack or molest the Uni
ted States forts in the harbor of Charleston pre
viously to the action of the Convention, and we
hope and believe not until an offer has been
made through an accredited representative to
negotiate for an amicable arrangement of all
matter* between the State and the Federal Gov
ernment, provided that no reinforcements shall
be sent into those forts, and their relative mili
tary status shall remain as at present.
John McQueen.

Washington, 9th December, 1860.”
And here I must, in justice to myself, remark
that, at the time the paper was presented to me,
I objected to the word ‘provided,’ as it might be
construed into an agreement on my part which
I never would make. They said that nothing
was further from-theirilhtention—they did not
so understand it, and I should not so consider
it. It is evident they could enter into no re
ciprocal agreement with me on the subject.
They did not profess to have authority to do
this, and were acting in their individual charac
ter. I considered it as nothing more in effect
thou the promise of highly honorable gentle
men to exert their, influence for the purpose
expressed.
“The event has proven that they have faith
fully kept their promise, although I have never
since received a line from'ahy one of them, or

Washington, Jan. 1.—The Senators from the pros
pectively seceding states arc in caucus to-niglii on the
subject of advising with their respective States as to
whether they will continue their delegations in Con
gress till the 4th March in order to prevent unfriendly
legislation, or desire their resignation in order that a
clear field may be left to the Republicans to pass such
bills as they choose. It is probable that the result of the
caucus will influence the action of. tbe States.
From the sentiment of prominent members it is un
questionable that Congress will not act upon Federal
affairs without mature deliberation. There is no ex
citement here, and all are calmly awaiting future
events.
The Alabama and Mississippi delegations held a con
ference last night and alterwards telegraphed to their
respective State Conventions advising them to secede
immediately, saying thure was no prospect of a satis
factory adjustment. They resolved to remain here and
await the action of their States.

Nashville Female Academy*
inOUnSTDKD 181G.
^FTERarest of six mo-ths, on the 19th of Janua-
ry, 1861, I resume m> po.ition as Principal of
this Institution, with which I have been connected for
21 years.
The Academy offers some particular advantages,
among which, we think are the following :
1. A well enclosed 1 ard of about six acres, within
the incorporated limits of Nashville, thus affording Pu
pils unrestrained freedom in healthful recreation, and
still subjecting them to the restraints of a refined and
intelligent society.
2. Buildings in extent and suitableness, for all school
purposes, uuequalled in Ike United StateB by any Fe
male School; and these surrounded by pavements and
corridors, offering constant inducements to ^children,
to breathe the fresh air, without regard to the weather.
3. Security from Fire. These buildings are heated
with steam and lighted by gas, and thus free the pa
rents of our pupils from at least one source of constant
anxiety about their children.
4. Health—unequalled 1.. any Female School in
this or any other country. Though one of the largest,
and a part of the time the largest, Boarding School in
the United States, yet but three deaths have occurred
among its pupils in nearly 45 years.
5. Non-Sectarian. It is well known to all acquaint
ed with the Academy, that a Baptist, Episcopalian,
ds his Daughter here,
Methodist, or Presbyterian, sends
perfectly satisfied, that in jio respect will offence be
given to his peculiar views, and yet equally satisfied
that the principles of our common religion will be daily-
inculcated.
6. Maternal Care. This expression excites no ex
pectation which is not fully met in the Academy. A
suitable number of ladies, of pitty and refinement, de
vote tneir entire time to the supervision ot the expen
se 8 . the morals, habits and health of the Boarding Pu-
pUla.
