Seibels, commandcr-in-Chicf of the Ala bama forces. We desire to say, in answer to certain inferences advanced by the author ofan article over the signature of “Chatham,” in the ffnes of yesterday, that .anjLainslmiation - that- the Editor ‘of the Mepublicdn is connected with the article of “Ocmulgee,” either by procurement, •‘inspiration,” or otherwise, is utterly ground less. When the Editor of this paper desires to com municate with the public, he will do it in such form that there shall be do misapprehension or suspicion, with regard to the authorship of the article. We might say more ; but “let bj’-goties be by gones”.

A Washington despatch of the 12th instant says :—“The report of an altercation between General Scott and Senator Toombs Is wholly untrue. The facts are as follows : General Scott, Senators Toombs and BGnjamln, and others, dined at the house of Mr. Corcoran on "Wed nesday, and the southern senators denounced the Union with passion. Mr. Toombs wished that the Star of the West could be sunk, but no discourtesy was offered to General Scott, and no difficulty ensued. ^General Scott has au thorized a denial of the •report which lift? been circulated.” The W’ashington papers, of Saturday, make no mention of any personal difficulties between Gen.

The harbor of Charleston being blockaded by vessels sunk across the ship channel, freights intended for that point are discharged here and sent over frhc railroad to their destination.

Tiie Atlanta ukoan.—u »>a> suited, some short time since, that a number of the mer chants of New York had done a handsome thing in presenting the Presbyterian Church at At lanta with an organ. The instrument reached here yesterday, on board the steamship Augusta, and will be promptly forwarded to its destina tion. It is quite large and splendid in every part of its work, has two sets of keps, two octa ves of pedals, and near seven hundred pipes. It is from the Manufactory of Henry .Erben, 172, Ccntrc-st., New York, and will be a great acquisition to our Atlanta friends. It may not be amiss to add, that the Messrs. Mitchell, of the steamship liue, charged no freight on the organ, and the Ccutral R. R. Co. will frank it through to Atlanta. Mr. James E. Treat, one of Mr. Erben’s lead ing workman, came out on the Augusta for the purpose of erecting the instrument in its place.

PROM A SIAM ON BOARD A contributor, writing from on board to the New York JW, gives a circumstantial account of the late expedition of the Star of the West to Charleston. Wc copy that i>ortioH relating to the attempt to enter the harbor, which will be found interesting: \ Wednesday, January 9. I awoke'at three o’clock this morning, and went immediately to the upper deck, where I found the captain, mate, pilot, and two military officers. I learned that wc arrived in the vicin ity of the Charleston bar about midnight; that all the coast lights liaTt been extinguished, and that thus far it had been impossible to find the main channel. It is evident from these indica tions that the hospitable South Carolinians do not mean that we should go in without a salute. A light was seen off the coast, but we could not make out what it was. A little after three o’clock we discovered the light on Fort Sumter, and with these exceptions everything was dark. It was, of course, impossible to get over the bar without the lighthouse, aud so wc awaited the break of day. I never saw a finer morning than the one which dawned upon us. The sky was clear, and the moon, a faint crescent oi silver, had just arisen, and the low coast looked like a dense forest of evergreen. The spires ot Charles ton oceanic visible iu the approaching daylight, and on the walls of uniter we descried the American flag floating in the breeze. Now, about hal‘-past six •o’clock, we see the lighthouse, and now, too, we discover that the mysterious light just mentioned was that of a steamer at our right. Now the situation of the channel is ascertained, aud we arc under weigh ; and now the steamer at our right is burning red and blue lights, and now she sends up rock ets. There is no mistaking her movements; she is giving the alarm signal to Fort Moultrie. On wc go ; the soldiers are below with loaded muskets, and the officers are ready to give the word if there is anything to do. Now it is broad daylight, and we are making directly into the guns of Fort Moultrie, w hose black walls are distinctly visible. The little steamer at our right is burning a signal light aloft, and is mak ing all possible headway up the harbor. Now we discover a red Palmetto flag at onr left, on Morris Island, at a little village wiled Cutn- miug’s Point, and apparently but little more than a mile from Fort Sumter. Is it possible that those fellows liave|got a battery off here?” asks one. “ No,” answers another; “ there is no battery there. But there is. It is now a quarter past seven, and we are about two miles l’rouj, Forts Sum ter and Moultrie, which are equi-distant from us, and, snddenlv, whiz-z! came a richochet shot from Mirns island. It plunges into the water and skips along, but falls short of our steamer. The line was forward of our bow, and was, of course, an invitation to stop. But we ar» not ready to accept the proffered|hospitality, and the captuin pays no attention to it, except to run up the stare and stripes at the masthead—the garrison flag mentioned before. A moment of anxious suspense, aud baug ! goes a heavy can non from the same masked battery. The shot falls short of us a hundred yards or more, and bounds clean over our vessels aft, nearly on a line with the head of a jailor, but, luckily, a above it. On we go, and—wliiz-z! again goes the smal ler gun first fired, aud another nchorhrt shot skips ’ VIVAWAII MARKET.

Commercial Preparations for War.—Several of the Marine Insurance Compa nies of N0W York city, says the Commercial, have already adopted the “War Clause” in their policies, viz: “ Warranted free from seizure or detention aris ing from the acts of any seoedintf or revolting State." The subject will coma before the Board of Underwriters to-morrow., when they will proba bly agree upon this clause; if so, all the com panics wijl unite in the same restriction. We learn also that the companies have generally advanced their rates one hundred per cent, on risks from this port to Charleston. To ports in the Gulf of Mexico, the same advance will probably be demanded. Nicaragua and Com. Paulding.—The Gov ernment of Nicaragua has voted thanks, sword, and a large amount of lands to Commo dore Paulding, as a testimony of its gratitude for his ridding the nation of Walker and his filibusters.

So the resolution was lost. On motion, the Convention adjourned until to-mor row morning 10 o’clock. I suspended ihe orders which had been issued by the War and Navy Departments, to send the Brooklyn with reinforcements to Fort Sumter. Of this I informed you on the same evening.— I stated to you my reason for this suspension, which you knew, from its nature, would be speedily removed. In consequence of your re quest, however, I promised that these orders should not be renewed “ without being previ ously considered and decided in cabinet.”— This promise was faithfully observed on my part. In order to carry it into effect, I called a special Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, 2d Jan uary, 1861, in which the question of sending reinforcements to Fort Sumter was amply dis cussed both by yourself and others. The de cided majority of opinions was against you.— At this moment the answer of the South Caro lina “ Commissioners” to my communication to them, of 31st December, was received and read. It produced much indignation among the members of the Cabinet. After a further brief conversation, I employed the following language: “It is inwall over, and reinforce ments must be sent.'" Judge Black said at the moment of my decision, that after this letter the Cabinet would be unanimous, and I heard uo dissenting voice. Indeed, the spirit ami toue of the letter left no doubt on my mind that Fort Sumter would be immediately attack ed, and lienee the necessity of sending rein forcements there without delay. Whilst you admit “that on Wednesday, Jan uary fid, this subject was again discussed in Cabinet,” you say, “but eeiT.ntily uo conclusion was reached, and the War Depa *. ment was not justified in ordering reinforcements without something more than was then said.” You are certainly mistaken in alleging tint “no conclu sion was reached.” In this your recollection is entirely different from that of your four oleest colleagues iu the Cabiuct. Indeed, my language was so unmistakable that the Secreta ries of War and the Navy proceeded to act upon it without any further intercourse with myself thau what yon heard, or might have heard me say. You bad been so emphatic in opposing these reinforcements that 1 thought you would res' u in consequence of my decision. I deep ly regret that you have been mistaken in point of fact, though I firmly believe honestly mis taken. Still it is certain you have not the less beei^ mistaken. Yours, very respectfully, 0 James Buchanan. Hon. Jacob Thompson. Ex-Senator l>iekin.*>ou on Coercion. The Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, of New York, at the Tammany Hall Eighth of January cele bration, made an eloquent speech, in the course of which he said : Tins Union, so beneficently founded, can only be maintained upon the great principle of jus tice and equality. CaN it be maintained by force 7 Can members of the confederacy be co erced into fidelity ? It is one thing to enforce the constitution, and maintain the law’s ; it is her to coerce a-State. Let him who think'- that a State can be coerced, coerce the sun to shine by legal enactment. [Cbeers.j Coerce the ruins of heaven to fall on the just and the un just alike, coerce the stars to tremble, coerce the tide to ebb and flow, then go aud coerce a free State into fidelity. [Cheers.] Our Southern brethren possess an institution sensitive as to property, sensitive socially, sensitive iu even- regard whatsoever. It. has been warred upon'; it has been menaced until they have been goad ed beyond endurance. >Ve are the stronger party in America. Wc possess no such insti tution. We can afford, and the constitution demands of us, thajt we extend to them the hand of kind ness, of fraternity, and fellowship, and that we redress our own wrong-doing, ud place them on the great principles of equality where the constitution placed them. [Loud cheers.] That is the way to maintain the Union, and it cannot be done iu any other manner or spirit. [Cheers.] Let us assure ourselves, not by figures of sneeclr, not by rhetoric, to show them that we intend, whatever may have been our short com ings before, to uphold the constitution and the. Union in its true spirit of equality. [Loud cheers. A voice—forever.] Certainly forever. I am for fighting the good battle of the Union, with tlie constitution for niv sword and the constitution for my shield. Let the South and the North have one great battle, but let the question be which shall elevate the principles of the constitution the highest. Let us go hand in hand together, and tight the battles ot the constitution, but no battles of blood. There is imminent danger, my brethren ; some say there cannot be, but there is. AltKIVEI*.

The Convention met pursuant to adjournment—a quorum present. The Rev. Mr. Ellis officiated as Chaplain. On motion, the reading of the journal of yesterday’s proceedings was dispensed with. Mr. Daniel, from the Committee on Enrolled Bills, made the following report: The Committee on Enrolled Bills beg leave to report as correctly enrolled the following: Resolution on Federal Relations. Respectfully submitted, J. M. Daxikl, Chairman. Which was received and adopted. Mr. Da/is moved a call of the Convention: which was agreed to.

Another moment and bang! again goes the heavy gun. The ball now strikes our ship in the fore chains, about two feet above the water. A seaman was hold ing the lead to take the soundings, aud the ball struck directly under his feet. It is not eurpris iug that, under the circumstauces, Jack was strongly inclined to take to his heels, aud he begins to scramble up with might and main, when the captain assures him that there is no danger, one ball having struck so near him; on the principle, I suppose, that lightning never strikes twice in the same place. Jack, reassur ed patiently takes his place aud drops tlie lead again. me ball, fortunately, was too far spent to go through the side of our vessel, although it lell an honorable scar. The battery continues to play upon us, and a huge ball comes clean over us near the wheel- house. We arc not yet within range of the guns of Fort Moultrie, aud yonder is a cutter in tow of a steamboat, preparing to open fire upon us. A moment longer aud we shall be in range of these three batieries. The guuners on Morris Island are growing confident; if they get the right range they will send a shot through our side, scattering death aud destruc tion. Moultrie, directly in front, will bring her heavy guns to bear aud will drive their deadly missiles Into our bow, while the cutter will open on our right. Why does not Major Anderson open tire upon that batterv and save us ? We look in vain for help ; the American flag flies from Fort Sumter, aud the American flag at our bow and stern is fired upon ; yet there is not the slitrbt- est recognition of our presence from the fort to which we look for protection. The unexpect ed battery ou Morris Island-lias cut oft'all hope of escape by running the vessel aground near Sumter aud taking to the boats. Is it possible that Fort Sumter has been taken by the South Carolinians? If it lias not, why does not Major Anderson show that he will protect us, or at least recognise us in some way ? To- go within range of the guns of Fort Moultrie is to •expose vessel, men aud stores to almost instant destruction, or to capture by the enemy. “Helm out of port!” shouts the captain, and the Star of the West is turned about without any great loss of time, as you may well imagine. \Ve turned without accident and steamed away, with the stars and stripes still floating, and the battery still playing upon us by way of a par ting salute. ,, , As we steam away the steamer near Moultrie, having the hostile cutter in tow, steams awaj into Swash channel, evidently with the inten tion of cutting off our retreat; but she soon abandons the chase and we sail out, without a man killed or wounded, with our stores un harmed, aud proceed unmolested, probably on our homeward journey. After the brief but exciting experience of the morning, I am prepared, without hesitation, to concur with the captain in the opinion that it is very unpleasant to be fired at with hard cannon balls without any chance to fire back. I wish to say, however, that no one on-board displayed any symptoms ot fear. Captaiu McGowan and the pilot, Mr. Brewer, were probably especial marks for the Morris Island battery, since a good shot through the wheel-house would have been most disastrous. The soldiers, al though two thirds of them are recruits, ap peared to be quite indifferent to the music, while the officers agreed that it was scandalous that they could not fight back. An-Abolltlou Demonstration. Rochester. Friday, Jan. 11.—Rev. Mr. May, susan B. Anthony,' and others, attempted to hold a meeting here to-night. It was broken up by citizens, aud resolutions in favor of the Union were passed, and cheers given for Gen. Scott and Maj. Anderson. A flag bearing tbc inscription, “No Compromise with Slavery,” was not allowed to be suspended across Buffalo- street. The authorities prevented a general riot.

The military men on board highly compli mented the South Carolinians on their shooting:, in this first attempt. They say it was well done; that all which was needed was a little better range, which they probably could have obtained in a few minutes. Their line was per fect ; and the opinion is expressed that some one had charge of the guns who understood his business. * * * * * Two guns were employed ; the smaller, it is believed, a twelve pounder, and the larger a thirty-two pounder. This, however, is only conjecture. Whatever their size, they were well manned. They were fired rapidly, and with a One of the officers hazarded a joke soon after we left the Charleston harbor. “The people of Charleston,” he remarked, “pride themselves upon their hospitality; but it exceeds my ex pectation. They gave us several ball< before wc landed.” It is believed that if the South Carolinians had not made a mistake we should have partaken ol their hospitality, whatever it may be, as pris oners. If the battery on Morris Island, had waited ten minutes longer before firing we should have been completely at their mercy. It was only necessary for them to wait until we were within range of the gnus of Fort Moul trie, and escape would have been impossible. So that, had it not been for this new aud unex pected btaitcrv ou Morris Island, and its perma- ture tiring,we should inevitably have fnjien into the hands of the enemy, if we had escaped shooting and drowning. A petition four hundred and fifty-six feet long has been sent from Philadelphia to the Pennsyl vania Legislature, praying for a repeal of these provisions of the penal code hostile to the Fugi tive Slave Law. Interesting from Washington. From the Charleston Courier's despatches, 14th Jan. Mr. Toombs, of Gcorgi.t, left this city for home last night. There was a startling rumor prevailing, though not credited, that troops would be ordered to defend him from a mob. Bail will be promptly furnished, in case an or der is issued for his arrest for treason against the Government. The remaining Senators from the secedinjj States will hold a conference 10 determine what is best to do in the present posture of affairs. It is believed by many that they will dotermine not to quit their seats, but remain and prevent the encroachments of the Administration. Several additional officers of the Federal Navy bave-tendered their resignations, which will be accepted in the event ot the revenue cutters or ships of war to which they are attached or sta tioned being ordered upon any coercive mi: sion. Speaker Pennington, of the House of Repre sentatives, has announced himself in favor of a National Convention of the people of the Uni ted States to settle existing difficulties. Lincoln has thus far failed to obtain the con sent of a single Southerd man to sen*e in his Cabinet. Mr. Scott, of Virginia, to whom an appointment was tendered, has declined to serve in the Black Republican Administration. His letter upon the subject is quite patriotic. Dudley Mann, Esq., leaves here to-day at two o’clock for Europe, entrusted with the business of South Carolina. Mr. Mann is on a mission to secure direct trade between South Carolina aud Europe. He is said - to go out provided with letters from the Governors of South Caro lina and GWbgia. The ^administration lias, for the present, re scinded all orders directing war steamers to proceed to Charleston as was at first telegraph ed to the Courier. Mr. Clayton, Assistant Secretary of tlie Treasury, has resigned his position for the same reasons assigned by others who have pre ceded him. Fkom Florida.—The Montgomery Mail :ives the following despatch from Pensacola : Pensacola, Jan. 12, 1861.—We arrived here at nine o’clock lask. night. The Regiment formed at four this morniug, to march on Barrancas and the Navy Yard. The .order was countermanded by Col. Chase, commander of this section of the State. The mode of attack will be changed in consequence of Barrancas being abandoned and guns spiked. The Navy Yard is deserted. Fort Pickens is being fortilied by Federal troops. ‘ Tlie Regiment is now en camped, awaiting orders. Death.—We regret to learn that the Hou. John T. Duncan, Tate Senator from Chatta hoochee, died last week at his residence after a very short illness. He passed through our city on his return home and appeared in his usual health aud spirits. His loss will be se verely felt in the community in which he has lived for many years, by the poor, who always looked toward him in their hour of adversity. [Macon Telegraphy 14fA.

A FTER a rest of six moi ths, on the 19th of Janua ry, 1&61, I resume m> pn. 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. \ well enclosed Y 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, unequalled in the United States by any Fe male School; aud 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 ana iighted 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 11 any Female School in this or any other country. Though one of the largest, ard 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. 6. Non-Sectarian. It is well known to all acquaint ed with the Academy, that a Baptist, Episcopalian, Methodist, or Presbyu-rian, sends nis 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 lotnmon religion will be daily inculcated. 6. Maternal Care. This expression excites no ex pectation which is not fully met in tlie Academy. A suitable number of ladies, of piety and refinement, de vote their entire time to ihe supervision of the expen ses. the morals, habits and health of the Boarding l’u- pilla.
