3ATVRDaT MORNING, JANUARY 12, If
Notice fob All Time.—We desire it to be!
understood, now and for nil time to mine, that
under no elrcumstanscs will a communication J
be admitted into the columns of the Republican I
unless the editor is informed of the name ol [
the writer—and tills entirely without reference j
to the character of its contents.
py A detachment of seventy-live men from
the Re, ublican Bluet went down lo Fort Pulaski
yesterday, to relieve the infantry now on ser-1
vice there. They were equipped in inarching I
order, with knapsack, canteen, &c., and clothed I
with woolen shirts, instead ol coats, which are I
just the thing for comfort while doing hard I
work, and there is no scarcity of the latter—a I
fact of which they will be sufficiently aware |
before returning.
Florida.—For some days we heard nothing I
of our flowery and gallant young sister to the I
South of us, and, indeed, had begun to think
that she had come to a dead-lock over the cri- I
sis that is upon us. A despatch received yes-1
terday, however, dispels ail doubt. She is not I
only not standing still, but has actually been |
out of the Union, a separate and independent!
republic, for something less than a week. I
Heaven prosper her in mr mrw *-*«••**«• •
Maj. Anderson.—As there is some contro-1
versy on the subject, we would state, upon the I
best authority, that Major Robert-s.nderson. I
now in command ol Fort Sumter, is a southern
man and a citizen of Kentucky. Mrs. Anderson,
his wife, is the daughter or the late Gen. Dun
can L. Clinch, of this State,
Star of the West.-TIic despatch to the I
Charleston Courier, published elsewhere states
that this vessel was ordered, iu case of her in
ability to enter the port of Charleston, to retire
and await outside the bar the arrival of the I
Brookhjn, which would take iu the reinforce- .
mentsand provisions under the protection ol
her guns. With this expectation, the South
Carolinians were on the qui VfW through the I
whole of yesterday, intending to give the I
steamers a warm reception. At this writing we
have no further accounts. j
Oil the other hand the Mercury learns that
the Slarof the Wat was instructed, iu the
event of her inability to reach Fort Sumter, to
proceed with her men and provision to Key
West and reinforce the garrison at that place.
Virginia.
This venerable mother of statesmen and of
States is in council over the troubles of the
country, and is likely to exercise a potential
voice in whatever consummation mav be re
served for the States of the American Con
federacy. She has a moral power iu her I
opinions and acts that have never, from the I
beginning of the government, failed to be felt I
in all the great exigencies through which we
have passed. It is justly her due, for Bhe hss
won the distinction alike in the council and in
the field. f 1
Her Legislature, now in session, is earnestly I
engaged ?n the patviotia work of vindicatmg I
the South and bringing existing troubles to a
peaceful issue. Proverbially a conservative |
State, she is equally distinguished for the gal
lantry and straight-forward honesty with which I
she meets all public questions that are pro- I
sented for her action. Thus lor, the steps I
taken have been characterized by a manliness
and decision that are worthy of her fame. The I
, s,ty of the seksion, tho House of I
Delegates passed a resolution, with dux nvj
dissenting voices, declaring there must be no
coercion of a seceding State by the Federal
Government, and iu a few days afterwards the I
same uroclamation was endorsed by the Senate,
with but a single dissenter, and ho living al
most as much in Ohio as in Virginia. At a
still later day, wo dudu joint resolution intro-1
duced to appoint a committee to report to me I
President of the United States the judgment of I
the General Assembly of Virginia, that any ad- I
ditlonal display of the military power of the
Federal Government, In the 8outh, will jeopard
the tranquility of the Republic, and that, in I
their opinion the evacuation of Fort Sumter I
should he the first step toward the restoration
of peace. And again, a resolution providing!
for a National Convention, with an amendment I
for a Convention of the slave holding States I
as a means of commencing negotiations upon
the present condition of affairs.
All these movements on the part of thcOlu
Dominion are manly, decided, and significant.
The resolution last referred to, will doubtless I
pass both houses, and they cannot fall to exer
cise an important influence upon -he future
movements of both the Suites and tho Federal
Government. 1
For ourselves, we would be glad to see V lr- I
ginia’s recommendation of a withdrawal of the J
troops from Fort Sumter adopted by the Gen
eral Government. We shall not discuss the
question .of a conflict of jurisdictions, nor have |
we the military information to decide the is- |
sues dependent on the physical power of the
respective parties. We believe, however, that
it is generally conceded by military men that I
the position can be successfully held in spite of I
all forces that are lively to be brought against I
it. This fact, of itself, though, is an argument I
for the policy recommended. It wonld repel |
the imputation of fear should the Government I
decide to order _the evacuation, whilst, as an I
act of statesmanship, it would probably do I
more for the relief of present embarrassments |
than any other single step that could be taken.
It would be universally regarded, not In the
light of a surrender, but as a peace-offering laid I
on the altar of the country—-an overture of con- I
clliation and fraternal feeling, that would go I
far toward smoothing down existing asperities I
at the south. We hope it will be done, and in I
this spirit. We cannot 6ee where harm could J
result from the movement.
The mob in Savannah has imitated the Gov
ernment of South Carolina, and among the
latest items of news, we learn that the United
States Government has been dispossessed of its
armory at that place.

no Armory at S xvannah.

Speech of Senator Toombs.—If any mem
ber of the Black Republican party entertained I
an honest doubt as to the nature, amount and
effect of the grievances which have driven the
south to assume her present attitude, we think
that Mr. Toombs dispelled that doubt in his I
speech of yesterday. i
We have never listened to a more crushingl
bill of indictment, sustained iu its every count!
by irrefragable proof of the guilt of those 1
whom it arraigned at the bar of the civilized
world.
To say that Mr. Toombs was eloquent, pow
erful, bold and convincing, is only to attribute
to him qualities which everybody knows he
possesses in as great a degree as any public man
in America since the days of Patrick Henry.—
But never on any occasion did he display his
great powers in a higher degree, or with more
telling effect, than yesterday. He stood forth
as the champion of a cause as mighty as it is I
just. He pleaded for eight millions of his fel-l
iow-cltizens whose rights are attacked, whosel
honor is assailed ; ana with a boldness that was!
sublime, he hurled defiance in the faces of those]
by whom this sacrilegious war of aggression
has been declared.
We purpose to lay before ou rreaders, in our]
next issue, a full report of this great effort of j
the Senator from Georgia.— Washington Oomli-1

I Proposed Se^^ssion of ttie City of New
York.
It was announced stftne daysagp that Mayor
| Wood was ai/out to send in a message to the
ICommon CoufucU. recommending the secession
■of the City bf New York from the State and
■Union. Tb« New York papers of the Sth
liuetanti contains the message in full, from which
Iwe c4jiy thj6 conclusion. After rehearsing the
InrnfiBrlc^ impositions and grievances prac-
Iticedffby the Republican Legislature upon the
■City.Vault discussing the practicability of a
uj-niUteaxUtence, the Mayor says :
This fij will be seen that the political connec
tion Vit/rccni the people of the City and State
ocn used by the latter to our injury. The
Legislature, in which the present 'partisan
ity bud the power, has become the instru-
Ineut by which we are plundered to enrich their
speculators, lobby agents and Abolition politi-
l ians. Laws are passed through their malign
Influence, by which, under the forms of legal
enactment, our burdens have been increased,
lnr substance eaten out and our municipal
Ibertles destroyed. Self-government, though
Inaranteed by’the State Constitution, and left
every other county and city, have been taken
Irom us by this foreign power, when dependents
lave been sent among us to destroy our liber
ies by subverting our political system.
^How wc shall rid ourselves of tills odious and
presaivc connection, it is not for me to deter-
Ine. It is certain that a dissolution cannot be
Tacefullv accomplished, except by the consent
j the Legislature itself. Whether this can be
Itainedor not, is in my judgment, not doubt-
1. Deriving so ranch advantage from its pow-
lover this City, it is not probable that a par-
lan majority will eertsent to a separation—and
p resort to force by violence aud revolution
ust not be thought of for an instant. We have
an distinguished as an orderly and law abid-
f people. Let u» do nothing to forfeit this
■anteter,' or to add to the present distracted
condition of public affairs.
I Much, no doubt, can be said in favor of the
Justice and policy of a separation. It may be
■aid that secession or-revolution in any of the
lJnited States would be a subversion of all Fed
eral authority, and so far as the Central Govern-
Inent is concerned, the resolving of the com-
fcnni;y into its original elements—that, if part
If tho Suites form new combinations and gov-
pnraents, other States may do the same. Cali
■mia and her sisters of the Pacific will no
lubt set up an independent Republic, and
isband their own rich mineral resources. The
lestern States, equally rich in cereals and other
Iricnllural products, will probably do the
ne. Then it may be said, why should not
York City, instead of supporting by her
Iqtribution* iu revenue two-thirds the expen-
m of tfie United States, become so equally in-
l-pendent? As a free City, with but a nominal
lity on imports, her local government could be
fcpported without taxation upon her people,
■has we could live free from taxes, and have
Tieap goods nearly duty free. In this she would
live the whole and united support of the South
|rn States a6 well as of all other States to whose
|;terest8 and rights under the Constitution she
3 always been true.
I It is well for individuals or communities to
«>ok every danger square in the face, and to
^ieet it calmly and bravely. As dreadful as the
Lvering of ttie bonds that have hitherto united
lie States has been in contemplation, it is now
Tiparently a stern aud inevitable fact. Wc
tave now to meet it with all the consequences
Ivhatever that may be. If the Confederacy is
broken up the Government is dissolved, and it
behooves every distinct community as well as
every individual, to take cure of .themselves.
' When disunion has become a fixed and cer-
ain fact, why may not New York disrupt the
muds which bind her to a corrupt and venal
luster—to a people and a party that have plttn-
l-red her revenue©, attempted to ruiu her coin-
lerce, taken away the power of self-govern-
lent and destroyed the Confederacy of which
le was the proud Empire City ? Amid the
loom which the preaeut and prospective con-
Ition of things must cast over the county*,
lew York, as a Free City, may shed the ouly
pit and hope for a future reconstruction of our
bco blessed Confederacy.

[Special Dispatch to the Charleston Courier.]
From Washington.
Increased Excitement—The Forts of New York
Strengthened—The “Star of the West" Ordered
to wait for the Brooklyn.
Washington, January 10, 2 o’clock. P. M.—
The Charleston news published this morning,
created the most Intense excitement here. The
intelligence was communicated to the President
and to General Scott after midnight. Orders
were immediately telegraphed to garrison every
fort in New York harbor more fully.
It is understood here, upon reliable informa
tion and authority, that the steamer Sear of the
West had orders, if driven out ofthehaibor of
Charleston, to wait outside until joined by the
Brooklyn, when both would again proceed into
the harbor, the Brookhjn to defend the other
steamer and her supplies.
[- pedal to the Charleston Courier.]
Intersting from Washington.
Washigton, 4 o’clock, P. M.—The Missis
sippi and Florida delegations in the Federal
Congress have decided not to retire from their
seats until after received official notice* of the
secession of their respective States from the
Federal Union.
Great indignation is expressed on all hands
against the President for ordering the move
ments of the United States troops. All the
Northern Senators and Representatives have
decided to denounce him with bitterness on the
first opportunity.
Senator Slidell, of Louisiana, has just,de
nounced the President ou the floor of the Sen
ate from comming a gross violation of the Con
stitution in appointing Mr. llolt as Secretary of
War.
Senator Davis, of Mississippi, afterwards
made a speech, in which he handled the Pres
ident pretty severely. He made a proposition
to the effect that Congress should immediately
demand the instantaneous w ithdrowal of the
garrison from Fort SumU-r, and give the as
surances to all the Southern States that no
force would be used against them. This he re
garded as the only means of avoiding civil
war.
It is currently rumored in knowing circles
that Secretary 'fhompson's resignation has not
been accepted; also, that the intelligence that
the steamer Brooklyn had been ordered to in
tercept the Star of the West, may or may not Le
true.
Mr. Clay, of Alabama, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Commerce, has not yet called the
Committee together for the consideration of
Mclutire’s nomination as Collector for Charles
ton.
It is now conceded that General Dix, the New
York Postmaster, will succeed Secretary Thomp
son in the Interior Department.
Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois, declared in the
Senate to-day that he would consent to vote for
the restoration of the old Missouri Compromise
line, but would not support the Crittenden pro
position to its fullest extent.
It is believed that Mr. Seward, in his speech
on Saturday, will advocate the admissiou of
New Mexico as a State, with her present Con
stitution.
Washington, January 10 —10.40 P. M.—Mr.
Corwin, of Ohio, says it it now doubtful wheth
er the House Committee of Thirty-three wi.’I
report at all. Some of the Southern members
have not attended the meetings of the Com
mittee lately.
The Senate’s resolution lias been transmitted
to the President, demanding to know why he
did not send to the Senate, for confirmation,
the nomination of Mr. Holt, as Secretary of
War.
Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, In his speech on
the Message, was.terribly severe on the Presi
dent, whom he eailed a feeble oltl man, and
Secretary Holt, whom lie styled a driveller.
He bade’farewell to the Senators at the conclu
sion of bis speech, saying lie and they must
part to meet there no more. He leaves for
Mississippi in a few days.
The Mississippi Delegation have received of
ficial dispatches of the secession of that State,
but it is not certain whether they will with
draw till they* get an authentic notification by
mall.
Vice-President Breckinridge recommends
Kentucky to call a State Convention immedi

An Iniercfcting: Discovery.
Tho buried relics of ancient nations are yield
j themselves eno by one to the zeal and In
Is try of. modern discoverers. A correspon-
jent of the Boston Transcript announces the
Lcent discovery of tho Mausoleum, one of the
pven wonders of the ancient world :
Everybody has read the story of Artcmiris,
|vlt most inconsolable of widows, who, when
jer husband (her own brother, by the way,)
lausolus, King of Halicarnassus, died, drank
L' ashes, in her grief, and erected to his mem-
Ty a monument, which, for its grandeur and
Ignificence wa6 called one of the seven won-
i of the world.
fcuided by Pliny and other writers, Mr. New-
i pitched upon a miserable hamlet in Asia
nor as the site of this aucient wonder. Hav-
Ig obtained the consent of the Turkish Govern-
Ynt, the next thing was to purchase the rights
Itfie jealous occupants of the soil, a matter of
I small difficulty. One old woman loaded her
lusket, and declared by the Holy Sepulchre
lat she would neither sell nor bndge. How
ler, on being offered enough money to pay the
Ipenses of a pilgrimage io Mecca, she came
awn. Removing the huts, Mr. Newton com-
If iiced Iris excavaticlns, and soon had the 6atis
btion of handling portions of the famed mauso-
Inn, exquisite friezes in alto-rebel, fragments
I colossal Hons, and beautiful statues, some
(which he was enabled to reconstruct,
lie ascertained that the great tomb was a
■adrangular building of about 412 feet circuit,
[iftetin height, surmounted by a pyramid.
Ihe top of which stood a beautiful four horse
Viol, in which was the statue ofMausolus.
^agrees with the ancient accounts of this
|nitlcent tomb. It was erected more thub
> thousand years ago, about the year 353 be-
3 Christ, and Mr. Newton is ol opinion that
jvas cast down by an earthquake. That the
SjRTeuTa oTthis proud raontmiea! oMunaan
fcectiou should now be dug up beneath the site

Immentary on the changes and vicissitudes

This great remedy ia too well known, and is per
forming too much good lo make it necessary to go into
an elaborate discussiou of its merits. Suffice It to say
that It still maintains its supremacy in curing diseases

remedy, seldom have occasion to resort to other ap

Messrs Seth W. Fowle &. Co.,—
Gents I hereby certify that I have be. n troubled
for several year* with a difficulty of the benrt and
longs, and have applied to several phy-icians for help,
and have tried almost every remedy of the numerous
ones which have been recommended without receiving
any assistance; but had been crowing weaker and
weaker, until, bearing of Wstar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry about a vear siuce, I commenced using it with
immediate relief It has not only restored my lungs to
a sound state, but I am entirely relieved of the diffl
cully or disease of the heart. 1 have no hesitation iu
saying that it is the best lung medicine before th** pub
lie" and I most cheerfully and conscientiously recom
mend it to nil persons suffering with pulmonary com
plaints. II. L GILMAN.

Ac., and a remedy which I consider to be entirely in
nocent, and may be taken with perfect eafety by the
most delicate in bea th.
Yours, very respectfully,

TO COTTON PLANTERS.
The result of the late election, f*r President of the
United States, developes the fact, hat there is a party-
in power who hie seeking control if our consciences,
and the destruction of our properU The events that
are being developed, however, show that the Southern
States will not submit to be ruled >y such a power.—
These -political difficulties iodic at* a change in our
Commercial relations with the Northern States, from
whence our supplies have been mosly received, and a
return to a more legitimate and direct trade. To those
who desire to promote this iegitimao and direct trade,
if there are any such, and they are :t a loss as to bow
to accomplish this object, I will say to them that 1 will
receive Cotton destined for foreign markets; will
when desired, advance one half the value of the cot
ton, at the port of embarkation ; wll have tho cotton
shipped to Liverpool, if not otherwise directed, and
sold. Tbe proceeds cf sale returne*. in gold and such

Nashville Female Academy*
H’OTJISrDiED 1616.
A FTER a rost of six mo ihs, on the 19lh of Janua
ry, 1861, I resume m.- po ition as Principal w
this Institution, with which I have been connected for
21 years.
Tne 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 unreotrained freedom ia 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, unequalled in the United States by any Fe
male School; and these surrounded by pavements aud
corridors, offering constant inducements to cnildren,
to breathe the fresh air, without regard to the weather.
8. Security from Fire. These buildings are heated
with steam ana lighted by gas, and thus free the j>a-
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,
a* d a part of the time tne lar.-eot, Boarding School in
the United States, yet but three deaths have occurred
among its pupils in nearly 45 years.
6. Non-Sectarian. It is well known to all acquaint
od with the Academy, that a Baptist, Episcopalian,
Methodist, or Presbyterian, sends his Daughter here,
perfectly catisfled, that in no respect will offence be
given to his peculiar views, and yet equally satisfied
that the principles of our louunoa religion will be dally
Inculcated.
6. Maternal Care. This expression excites no ex
pectation whica is not fully met in the Academy. A
suitable number of ladies, of pl« ty and refinement, de
vote tneir entire time to the supervision ot the expeo
se« the morals, habits and health of the Boarding Pu
pUla.
Guardians and parents, who for any cause, may be
seeking a pernuu.ent eduvational borne for little girls
we think, find such a home in the Academy. Apply to
