pE.—Georgia, which takes the
t enterprise, has entered in
st shown her disposition to do
work of direct importations of
f commerce as are of prime con-
ion among her people. We copy else-
(the met of the last Legislature incorpora
te Belgian American Steamship Com
pany, which proposes to ran semi-monthly
steamships between Savannah and some Euro
pean port or ports, the State guarantying to the
Company a net profit of $100,000,on their invest
ment of $2,000,000, for the term of five years.
We commend the charter and the great work
which it is intended to promote, to the capi
talists and business men of the south generally.
At a future day, when wc 6hall have more
room nnd leisure to do justice to the subjects
we propose to discuss it in its practicability
and bearing upon the economy of the Slate

As a case in point, we have before us the N jw

The Affair of the Star of the “ Star of
tiie West.”—We copy elsewhere, from the
Charleston Courier of yesterday, a full account
of the attempt of the “Star of the West” to
enter the harbor of Charleston, with reinforce
ments for Major Anderson, and her repulsion
by the forts on Sullivan’s and Morris’s Islands.
It appears that seventeen shots were fired at the
steamer, only two of which took effect—one in
the bow and the other in the neighborhood of
the wheel-house—so far as could be judged at
the distance. The affair s.eems to have had an
elecirifylng effect upon our South Carolina
friends, who immediately redoubled their ex
ertions for a successful defence of the harbor.
Some.time alter the occurrence, Major Ander*
son despatched a messenger, with a flag ol
truce, to Gov. Pickens, protesting against the
attack on the steamer, and staling that if the
act should be avowed by the State authorities,
he should forthwith intercept all vessels that
might pass Fort Sumter. The Governor avow
■flfed the act of the forts Ln. firing upon the ves-
Hcl, and went at length into a review of the re-
^Rations now subsisting between South Carolina
mm and the United States, as a justification of their
[ coarae. To this Major Anderson, through a
■ second messenger, replied, that he should re
port the case to the government, an I po&tpoi c

More Accidents to the Charleston Troops.
The Courier of yesterday says, Sidney Weeks, a
member of the Edgefield Company, now iu that
city, fell through the opening above the en
trance to the Arsenal, head foremost, to the
ground, producing concussion of the brain,
from which the worst results are apprehended.
A voluuteer. by the name of Gray, belonging
to the same company, was wounded in the leg,
on Weduesday, by a ball irora a pistol that went
off accidentally in the hands of a brother sol
dier. The wound, though painful, was not
considered a serious one.

• * THE DAMAGE DONE j
The steamer was very trifling, only two ol ! seize ns of ft. Morgan and mt. verson arse
about seventeen shots—all that was fired—took |
effect upon her. One struck the vessel about,
the forward part of the bow, the other amid
ships, In the vicinity of the wheel-house No
idea of the extent of dnmage done could be as
certained, indeed it could not have been known
whether she had been struck at all had it not
been for the heavy, dull sound, and subsequent
crash, nhvais accompanying the ball that
“makes its mark ” in a naval engagement. At
alJ events she could not have been badly injnred
or disabled, for even while the firing continued
she rounded to and. started off seaward. As
soon as this intention was shown all firing was
isntnntly suspended.
FORT SUMTER.
While the engagement lasted, no demonstra
tion whatever was made by the command in
possession of the frowning fortress—Sumter—
except the opening of the port-holes nnd run
ning out of the guns which bear upon Morris’
Island and Moultrie. Major Anderson, how
ever, prudently forbore to fire, and no doubt
experienced greqt relief when he saw the vessel
steaming out of the harbor.
THE CITT.
After all the facts of the affair in the harbor
had become generally known throughout the
city, the excitement in ho wise abated. Several
companies of troops never before in actual ser
vice were called oat and sent to different local
ities, where their presence might be needed,
and every precaution was taken by the energetic
'‘'’•'’‘"istration to secure all points that might

As soon as signalled, the entire camp on'Mor-

ready at their posts before the orders were

anxious saspense, ready for what every one be
lieved sure to come, and that—a volley from
the heavy guns of Sumter.
As soon as the Star of the West rounded the
point, she took to what is called “Ship Chan
nel,” inside the bar, and proceeded straight
forward, until nearly opposite the work on
Morris’ Island, not more than three quarters of
a mile from the battery, and within excellent
range of the guns. At this position of affairs

The “8tar of the West” was clearly made out

mistake on this point. She was possessed of
no armament. As soon as five or six shots had
been fired upon her from Morris’ Island, and as
many more from Moultrie, it was evident that
she would lower her colors to half-mast. She

The movement of the Mobile companies on
Mount Vernon Arsenal up the river and Fort
Morgan down the Bay kept the city in a ferment
of excited interest yesterday, and it was not un
til late in the day that intelligence arrived that
both those points of Federal occupation and de
fence were in the hands of the Boldiery of the
State of Alabama. These events will create a
lively sensation throughout the country, and
we should, even by this time, be in receipt of
whatever edict a prompt exercise of Executive
authority may fulminate in relation to the high
act of sovereignty of the Governor of this State.
Without attempting to foreshadow the position
which the Federal Government may assume, we
record the belief that it will be appalled into
utter inaction and incertitude by the magnitude
of the concerted character of this ignoring of its
empire iu the cotton Slates, for at the same time
that it is advised of the seizure of its strongholds
in Alabama, i; will have news of like import from
Georgia, aud perhaps from other States. The
strong array of armed hostility to the policy ot
coercion thus presented will,we may venture to
hope, deter its attempt, and reduce the quarrel
to the treatings of diplomacy aud a peaceable
adjustment of matters ‘ between the Federal
Government as it at present exists, *and the
States which throw off its authority. The worst
has been dared and is looked squarely in the
face ; the alternative is to be desired, and hoped,
and may be, we think, with reason. Let every
patriot, North and South, devote himself to the
end that.our accounts with the Federal Govern- Cotton, S00 casks Rice. 4 bales Tobacco. 40 do Domestics,

by Sarannah Elver and by Canal from Ogeechee, moat
of which has been of Milling quality. Owing to the
fear of the result of the present political troubles t
there have been butjfew buyers In the market, these
have claimed and obtained a conce e «ion of from one to
two dollars on Mill Timber, which has been freely
granted.
Shipping Timber has arrived less freely, and owing
to the demand for immediate delivery has not de
clined to the same extent as MM, the sales have been
at one to one an f a half dollars decline. We would
remark that none of the buyers, are disposed to pur
chase more than sufficient for immediate use. We
quote Mill $6.50 @ $9. Shipping $12 ® $16.
EXCHANGE—Something has been done in 60 day
bills at interest, and X off. The banks continue to
check on the north, in small sums for their customers,
at 1 per cent, premium ; the outside rates are 2@3 per
cent. The asking rafe for Sterling is 103®108>4, hut
we bear of no sales at the latter figure.
FREIGHTS.—There has been an advance both in
foreign and domestic freights this week. To Liverpool
we quote cotton per lb. firm at *id. To Boston the

The sudden stroke of policy In Alabama, the
coup d'etat and coup de guerre, was quietly and
effectively carried out in this wise : Acting un-

for Fort Morgan : the “Cadets,” Capt. Sands;
the “Fueihers,” Lieutenant Emrick command

The detachment detailed for the seizure of
the Mt. Vernon U. S. Arsenal, located lorty-
llve miles up the river, consisted of the “Mo- I 2

The garrison, consisting of a squad of about
thirteen soldiers and as many Gevernment em
ployees, of course made no resistance, being
captured before they knew of the presence of
an enemy. Had they not been taken by sur
prise, however,, and had they so disposed, they
might have given some trouble and shed some
blood, as the tU’senal is defensible against mus
ketry and their number was more than a third
their assailants. The arsenal contains

‘1,000 round ot cartridge and other

FEDERAL RELATIONS.
President’s Message on the Crisis.
Washington, Jan. 9th.—The President sent in his
message on the crisis to Congress this morning. He
regrets that matters, instead of becoming better, have
grown worse, and the hopes of a peaceful adjustment
are diminished.
In alluding to the condition of South Carolina, he
says there will be no other alternative but to collect
the revenue and protect the Federal property, 60 for as
it is practicabJw**«rtio under the existing laws, which
he feels bound by his oath to execute.
At the commencement of the session,'in his annual
message, he called the attention of Congress to the dan
gers that beset the Union, and recommeuded such
m asures as he believed would have the effect of tran-
qilizing the country and saving it from the perils in
which it was needlessly and unfortunately placed. It
was nut necessary to repeat this opinion and recom
mendation ; the convictions then expressed remain un
changed.
The right and duty to »se the mi’itary and naval
forces against those who illegally assail the Fedora]
Government he regards as flear and indisputable; bat
the present state of affairs fs beyond Executive control.
We are in the midst of a great revolution, and he
would recommend Congress to meet the present emer
gency. He reviews the power to declare war and to
remove the grievances that might lead to war, and re
store peace to the country—on ihem rests the respon
sibility. •

The division of the coudry on the line of 36° 30' (the
Missouri Compromise), is suggested as calculated to
bring about an adjustment of present troubles. It w s
an imputation on members to say that they will hesitate
in such a crisis—the danger is upon us. In several
States the forts and arsenals have been seized by ag
gressive acts of the local authorities. Congress should
endeavor, by all the means in their power, to give these
difficulties a peaceful solution.

believed that it would have furnished a pretext, If not

that the subject was discussed folly in a Cabinet meet

Nashville Female Academy*
FOUNDED 1810.
A FTER a rest of six mo- ths, on the 19th of Janua
ry, 1RGI, I resume m> po ition as Principal of
thi9 Institution, with which I have been connected for
21 years.
The Academy offers some particular advantage*,
among which, we think are the following :
1. A well eaatoaei Y ard of abont six acres, within
the Incorporated ltmi'.n of Nashville, thus affording Pu
pil* unrestrained freedom in healthful recreation, and
stiil subjecting them to the restraint*, of a refined and
fe 1 ®!’
2. Building* in extent and snitablene**, for all school
~ '1 United States by any Fe-
•onnded by pavements and
Inducements to cniidren,
air, without regard to the weather.
„ Fire. These buildings are heated
earn ana 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, 1
a< d a part of the time the largest, Boarding Scnool in 1
the United States, yet but throe deaths have occurred I
among its pupils in uearly 45 years.
5. Non-Sectarian. It is well known to all acquaint 1
ed with the Academy, that a Baptist, Episcopalian,
Methodist, or Presbyierian, sends his Daughter here,
perfectly satisfied, that in no respect will offence be
given to his peculiar views, and yet equally satisfied
that the principles of our lomrnon religion will be daily
[inculcated. J
■ 6. Maternal Care. This expression excites no ex-L
pectation wbicn is not fully, met in the Acauemy. A
suitable number of ladies, of phty and refinement, de
vote tneir entire time to the supervision of the expen
se- the morals, habits and heaith of the Boarding Pu-
pilli,
eraardians and parents, who for any cause, may be
seeking a perrna: ent educational home for little girls r
we think, find such a home in the Academy. Apply to
