The Convention.
The Convention, which is to determine the
future condition of Georgia, In or out. of the
Union, convened at the Capitol, in Milledge-
ville, yesterday. Nothing was donc.beyond the
. regular routine of organization, which will be
found reported in full in our telegraphic col
umn.
Thus far everything looks auspicious of a
prudent, yet decided course of action on the
part of the Convention. Hon. George W.
Crawford, who was chosen President by accla
mation, is one of the leading spirits of oar
8tate, and as remarkable for statesmanship, in
telligence and moderation, hs lie is for lirmness
of purpose and patriotic devotion to his State
v and section. His election is ©Iso u guaranty
that all the proceedings of the Convention will
bo conducted with dignity and g«od order, and
that whatever position the Stale of Georgia
shall take with reference to the pending crisis,
will be taken in a manner becoming her high
ppntation among her sister States of the
Union.
The adjournment, too, after organization, af
fords an indication that the Convention is going
calmly and deliberately to work, and will dis
charge the high trust committed to their hands
I.'ih.no haste, but with due circumspection and
after weighing every proposition carefully, and
investigating all its bearings upon the liberties
and interests of the people. For ourselves, we
have entire confidence that neither will suffer
Vin their hands.
v The Southern Mails.—There is no end to the
complaints that reach us of the imperfect ser
vice, and no service at. oil, of the present con
tractors on the route from Savannah to Florida.
The Brunswick Advocate informs us that it sel
dom gets a mail at all except by railroad, and
that the lost mail reached there by the steamer
St. Marys, (of the line from which the contract
L was recently taken, and which always did the
I service to the satisfaction of the public) ox
(jfreight. This is something new in the postal
programme.
Now, wc are disposed to make every allow
ance for ordinary irregularities in times like
these ; but when the Department can have mails
carried regularly it is their duty to do it. These
arc important times, and never before were the
people so anxious for early and authentic ac
counts of what is going on. We insist on a
change.
Acknowledgement.—The Surgeon General
of South Carolina returns thanks on the part
of the State, to a lady and her daughter of Sa
vannah, Ga., for a box of bandages and lint. .
Theatrical.—Whilst the Georgia Conven
tion is engaged on the grave affairs of State by
day, our manager, Mr. Fleming, is on hand to
entertain them with his excellent theatrical
corps by night.
Election op Solicitors.—Mr. Hendrick is
elected Solicitor-General in the Tallapoosa
Circuit.
'N. J. Hammond is elected Solicitor-General
in the Coweta Circuit.
F. Tupper is elected Solicitor-General of the
Eastern Circuit.
W. H. Dasher is elected Solicitor-General in
the Brunswick Circuit.
Resignation.—Brevet Major L. B. Northop,
1st Regiment U. S. Dragoons,resigned his com
mission several days ago. The resignation lias
been accepted.
ChangsuOF Name.—Tuc proprietor of the
''Federal Union announces his intention to change
the name of his paper to the V Southern Union”
Will not that be a federal Union, also ?
“Bullying the North.”—Ibis is an expres
sion which we often find in th«t- Republican
press, and it is used to characterize- some
act on the part of the southern States or peo
ple.
We are unable to appreciate the justice of the
charge. Our people have only told their north
ern brethren what wrongs they have commit
ted against ns, and should they refuse to act
justly, we should—do what? Attack their
rights—invade their section—make war upon
them? No, none of these things. We simply
say, we will dissolve the copartnership and
have nothing to do with you. And yet, they
call this “bullying the North”! We propose to
attend to our own business aud leave them
alone to manage their own affairs in their own
way, and they call this by all sorts of hard
names, denounce us as “traitors,” and try to
humbug the world with the belief that we are
a desperate race of hot-bloods, seeking to com
mit some foul wrong against them !
Away with such logic. If things are not
just as the North would have them—if trouble
and calamity have come upon the whole
country, it is their work, aud instead of charging
others with folly, let them repent in sackcloth
and ashes of their own.
Alabama.—We learn irom the Montgomery
papers that the minority of the committee
which reported the secession ordinance made a
counter report, which was rejected by a vote of
46 to 54, and the vote on the question of sub
mitting the action of the Convention to a vote
of the people stood 47 to 53.
The* election for Judge oi me Cherokee Cir
cuit, resulted in the election of Walker, by a
majority of "nearly four thousand oveFhis com
petitors. ~
The Right Spirit’.—Worthy of Imita
tion.—The Southern Recorder, says : ‘‘In view
of the present condition of the country, and
supposing that if the $1,000,000 of Georgia
Bonds, issued for the defence of the State, be
sent cat of the State, they might not probably
sell readily at par, we learn that a few days
since, R. R- Cuyler, Esq., President of the Cen
tral Railroad and Banking Company voluntarily
proposed to the Governor to take for that Com
pany $100,000 of these State Bonds, at par.
This shows the right spirit, and is highly
creditable to Mr. Cuyler and the Company over
whose business and operations he presides
with such marked ability and acceptability to
all concerned.”
The United States Sub-Treasukt at
Charleston.—The Charleston Mercury thus
corrects a Black Republican slander: “We
bave not cared, heretofore, to trouble ourselves
v about the false statements of the Tribune, and
other New Tork papers, concerning the United
States Sub-Treasury at Charleston. But as the
honor of the State is concerned, and it is due
to her friends everywhere that they should
know the truth of the matter, we now state
that neither the Governor of South Carolina,
aor any other power or authority of law, has
I ever seized or made use of any of the funds of
■ the Sab-Treasury in this city. We further state
that the amount in the Sub-Treasury, when
South Carolina seceded, was not the pitiful sum
of $9,000, as at first reported, nor the sum of
$21,000, as the Tribnue now reports it, but it
was* $150,000—which amount l*as been reduced
iu the usual manner, by payments, according to
the law of the United Slates, to about $50,000.
This sum is still in the Sub-Treasury, to the
credit of the United States Treasurer and the
disbursing agents. South Carolina has not
touched a cent of this money, and her forbear
ance in that respect is the more remarkable,
l because a large amount of it is due to her own
citizens for the outfit and provisions of Fort
Sumter, for payment of which they vainly be
siege the office doors of the Sub-Treasurer—
that officer having no power to pay them with
out an order from the authorities at Wash
ington.”
Mr. Seward’s Speech.—The Washington
correspondent of the Charleston Courier-tele
graphs to that paper: “ Mr. Seward’s speech is
at»U the theme of conversation. Even Mr.
- Crittenden, cofaservativc as ho is, declares that
Seward offers no proposition worthy of being
entertained, but doe9 not wholly close the door
against conciliation.”
Lieutenant Thomas B. Huger, of South Coro-
iina, has resigned his commission in the navy.

bound to support and insist on, as well as other
amendments looking to co-operation knowing
that their constituents deemed them wise and
prudent.

to this Convention and the country that they
have been and arc now as fully alive to the
wrongs perpetrated by the North against the
South as any member of this Convention, and
only differ with this Convention, as to the mode
and manner of redress.
Joseph A. Collier,
S. S. Alderman.
Mr. Ward of Leon offered the following res
olution :
Resolved, That Lhe action of this Convention
having terminated all Federal relations on the
part of this State, the Committee on Federal
Relations shall be blended With the Committee
on Foreign Relations, which was adopted.
Mr. Ward of Leon moved that he be dis
charged from the dmi«*s of Chairman on the
Committee on Foreign Relations, and that
Mr. McIntosh be substituted in his stead, which
was agreed to.
Mr. Ward of Leon offered the following res
olution :
Resolved, That in addition to the other
standing Committees of this Convention, there
be appointed by the President the following
Committees:
Committee on Internal Improvements.
Committee on Schools and Colleges.
Committee on Charters and Corporations.

dopted.
Mr. Folsom of Hamilton, from the Commit
tee on Credentials, made the following re
port : /J"
The Committee on Credentials, to whom was
referred the matter of the contested election
from the counties of Columbia and Suwannee,
beg leave to make the following report:
That A. J. T. Wright, the occupant of Un
seat iu this Convention from said counties,
holds the same by virtue of the certificate of the
Judge of Probate of the county of Columbia:
that by the returns of said election, as canvass
ed b}’ said Probate Judge, it appeared that said
Wright was elected by a majority of nine votes;
but the Committee further find that the Judge
of Probate in Suwannee county failed to can
vass and count the returns from two precincts
iu that county, to wit: Plowden’s and Columbus
precinct; that at said Plowden’s precinct the oc
cupant, Wright, received a majority of foui
votes, and at said Columbus precinct the con
testant, John W. Jones, received a majority ol
twenty-six votes, leaving a clear majority in*the
two couutics lor the contestant of thirteen
votes.
Waiving all formalities, your Committee are
of the unanimous opinion that the will of the
majority of the voters of said counties should
be respected, and that the said John W. Jones
should be admitted to his seat in this Conven
tion, and that the said A. J. T. Wright is not
entitled to the same.
In view of the fact that the said Wright re
ceived the certificate of election in this case,
aud has been in no way' to blame for the pari
he has taken in the matter, your Committee
would respectfully recommend the passage ol
the following resolution :
Resolved, That John \V. Jones be admitted to
the seat in this Convention from the comities
of Columbia and Suwannee heretofore occupied
by A. J. T. Wright.
L. A. Folsom, Chairman,
Rhydon G. Mats,
William W. Woodruff,
Thompson B. Lamar.
Which was read, and on motion of Mr. L^wis,
adopted.
Mr. Dawkins of Alachua moved that a com
mittee of three be appointed to make suitable
arrangements for signing the Ordinance of Se
cession at 1 o’clock.
Mr,, Turman, of Hillsboro, moved that John
W. Jones come forward, sign the roll and take
his seat.
Mr. Allison, of Gadsden, moved to reconsider
the vote taken this, morning in relation to tht
contested election of Suwannee and Columbia
counties ; which was agreed to.
The President read the following communi
cation from Hon. E. C. Bullock, the Commis
sioner from the StJ> f c of Alabama :
Tallahassee, Fla., Jan. 11, 1861.
Sir: I am indebted to the Convention of Flor
ida and the people whom they represent for so
much kindness and courtesy during my stay
here, as the Commissioner of Alabama, that I
am unwilling to depart without some formal ex
pression of thy gratitude. Be pleased to com
municate to them my high appreciation, both
for myself aud on behalf of the State of
Alabama, of the warmth and cordiality
with which I have been received aud treated,
and my firm conviction, founded ou the very
recent assurances of her chief magistrate,as well
as my’ own judgment,that the secession of Alaba
ma cannot be delayed beyond the present week.
Not long divided in their withdrawal from a
Union of *‘ irrepressible conflict,” I fervently
hope that Florida and Alabama will soon be
united in that new Union of brotherly love in
which a homogeneous people, taking their des
tiny into lliei r own hands, shall exhibit to the
world the highest development of free govern
ment and the noblest phase of true civiliza
tion.
With very great respect,
Your obedient servant,
E. C. Bullock.

Mr. Ward, of Leon, moved that Winer Bethel,
a delegate from Monroe county, be allowed to
withdraw his vote, given y esterday, on the pas
sage of the Ordinance of Secession upon the
ground of a questi )n of legal liability as a na
turalized citizen of the United States; which
motion was adopted.
_Mr. Daniel, of DnvaL from the Committee on
Enrolments, made the following report.
The Committee on Enrolments beg leave re
spectfully to report, that, in obedience to a res
olution adopted by* this Convention, the enrol
ment of.tlie Ordinance of Secession has been
properly and correctly made under the direction
of the Judges of the Supreme Court of the
sovereign State of Florida, and the same is now
ubmitted to this Convention for signature.
All of which is respectfully* submitted.
J. M. Daniel, Chairman.
Mr. Beard of Leon moved that Committees
of three each be appointed by the President to
wait on His Exeellfency* the Governor, both
branches of the Legislature, and upon the
Judges of the Supreme Court, and inform them
that the Convention is now ready to proceed to
been agreed upon. It is generally believed
here that the demand of the South Caroiina au
thorities, could the Commissioner get an op
portunity to make it known, is that the lortifi-
catious of the Charleston harbor shall be re
stored to their original status ; when all hostil
ities shall cease, with the understanding that
the State troops shall be promptly' withdrawn
from Castle Pinckney*, Fort Moultrie and Fort
Jackson, and Anderson would then go back to
Moultrie.
Neither Col. Hayne nor Lieut. Hall have thus
far deemed the result of thair mission definite
enough to send one word to their respective su
periors.
From tlui special correspondence of the
Merc*#*;, -of same date :
Attorney-General Hayne is the centre of pnb-
11c attention. It is generally supposed here that
lie desires either the re-occupation of Forts
Moutrie and Pinckney, or the total withdrawal
of the Federal troops from Charleston.
It is currently rumored in reliable circles to
day, that the Administration will withdraw the
troops from Forts Sumter and Pickens before
the close of the present week.
A despatch has just been received from Gov
ernor Ellis, of North Carolina, say ing that the
Stale troops have been ordered to evacuate
Fort Caswell, and that it would be again placed
in the hands of the Federal authorities.

10 o’clock, a. m., to-day.
On motion, Eon. Henry L. Bcrming, a delegate from
the county of Muscogee, was called to the chair for the

clamation.
The following additional officers were then chosen.

sioners Irom other States, tender them scats on the
floor and request them to communicate with the Con*
vention, in such manner as they may d*-em best.
The Convention then adjourned until 1 O’clock to
morrow morning.
Thos far good feeling seems to prevail among the
members.
Air. Beard, of Leon, from the Committee, to
wait on the Governor, reported that the Com
mittee had performed the duty assigned them,
md the Governor, from indisposed health,
could not be present at the signing of tile Or
dinance of Secession, but that Gen. Milton,
Governor elect, was present, and would offi
ciate on the occasion.
The Convention then proceeded in procession
to the east portico of the Capitol, and after
prayer by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Rutledge,.signed
• he Ordinance of Secession before the assem
bled citizens of Florida,
Alter which the President declared that the
State of Florida was a free and independent State
and that all political connection between her and
the “existing government of the United States”
was dissolved.
(leu. .Milton, Governor elect, in behalf of the
Ladies of Broward’s Neck, of Dnval county,
presented to the Convention aud to the people
of Florida a beautiful flag, which was received
and responded to by the President.
The Convention returned to their Hall aud
resumed business.
On motion of Mr. Davis of Leon, the Con
vention went into Committee of the Whole on
an ordinance to provide for the assembling of a
Convention ot all the seceding slaveholding
States,Mr. Pelot of'Alachua in the Chair. After
some time spent therein, the Committee rose,re
ported progress and asked leave to six again;
which report was concurred iu.
Mr. Davis of Leon made the following re
port :
The Select Committee on South Carolina Relations,
to whom was referred the communication made «o this
House by the State of South Carolina, through her
Commissioner, and in compliance with the instruction
of the Convention, beg leave to report that they have
had the samt; under consideration, and recommecd that
the proposition made by the Statu of South Caroiina
for the holding of a Convention of such slavebolding
States as have seceded or may secede from the Feder
al Government, be acceded to, with the exception that
a change should be proposed by this Convention, to
wit: that the power- of the Deputies be enlarged as to
the time and place of the holding ot the Convention.
W. G. M. Davis, Chairman.
Which, on motion, was received and spread upon the
journal a
Mr. Davis, of Leon, from a Select Committee, made
tho following report: The wielect Committee on
Communications from $outb Carolina report that they
have had the accompanying resolution before referred
to them under consideration, and beg leave to report
the same back without amendment, and recommend
its passage. W. G. M. Davis, Chairman.
Resolved. That the Convent ion do receive with pleas
ure the communication which has been made to this
oody by the State of South Carolina, through her Com
missioner, signifying to this Convention that South
Carolina has assumed the position of an independent
sovereignty, and that we, the People of Florida, in
Gonvenliom assembled, <J# heartily recognize the cor
rectness and the justice of the act by which South Caro
lina has assumed the character which she now occu
pies, and in #hich, we, the People of Florida, in Con
vention assembled, do now receive her Commissioner
as a free and sovereign State.
Which was read and the resolution adopted.
Mr. McIntosh, of Calhoun, moved that a certified
copy of the report of lhe Select Committee be furnished
the Commissioner from the State of South Carolina;
which was agreed to.
On motion, the Convention adjourned until Monday
next, 12 o’clock. M.
cept Thompson and Douglas, justify the seces
sion movement.
The Southern Senators will all withdraw, but
will not resign, in consequence of the embar
rassment that would ensue in filling the vacan
cies upon the committees. No such vacancies
now exist, as the Senate does not recognize the
mere withdrawal.

of Health passed the following resolution on

Major Ripley, Secession commander at
Fort Moultrie.—Fort Moultrie, at present, is
under command of Major Ripley, ah ex-United
States officer. He is a native ol Ohio, aud cen
tered the army in 183‘J. lie was appointed a
first Lieutenant in 1847. lie was au aid-de-
camp to Major-General Pillow, in Mexico, in
1847 and 1848, and was made a brevet captain
“for gallant aud meritorious conduct in the bat
tle of Cerro Goido, fought on tb« 18th April.
1847.” In March, 1849, he was further promoted
to be a brevet major, “for gallant aud meritori
ous conduct iu the battle of Cbepultepec.” He
wrote aud published, in the same year, a two
volume work,entitled “The War with Mexico.
Ou the 2d March, 1853, Major Ripley* resigned
Ins position in the army. Major Ripley has
many friends here, he having been on this sta
tioti some time, residing ar the Winthrop
House.—Boston Conner.
Edward Everett.—uu niu..-uay evening
lost, Edward Everett lectured before the Mer
cantile Library* Association of Boston, ou As
tronomy*. Alter concluding the oration, says
the boston Daily Advertiser, with the repetition
of Addison s versou oi the nineteenth psalm,
Mr. Everett added a few extemporaneous
words, which, as nearly as w r e can recollect
them, were as follows : “ Now, Ladies and Gen
tlemen, I hope the season is not too far ad
vauced for me to tender to each of you its
proper congratulations and good wishes. I am
sure it is not too far advanced to look forward
and hope and trust that the close of the year
may* find us still iu the unimpaired possession
of this glorious heritage of constitutional lib
erty, fat this point Mr. Everett was interrupted
by a most emphatic and tumultuous burst of
applause, which lasted for a long time; lie con
tinued] the legacy* of our fathers, founded in
so much wisdom, purchased with so much
treasure, and cemented with so much blood. I
hope its close may* find all members of this
great family of States more in peace with each
other, with all mankind, and the people of the
United States still free, prosperous and united.”
This sentiment was received with enthusiastic
applause.
Resigned.—We are authorized to say that the
resignation of Hou. John L. Harris, as Repre
sentative in the Legislature from this county,
has been forwarded to •♦lie Governor. It is to
be regretted that Mr. Harris has thought proper
to pursue that course. Glynn county has been
honored by her able Representative, and will
part with him, as such with many* regrets.—

Brunswick and Albany Rail Road.—Wc

A Frenchman, resolved to be rid of life, went
a little before high tide to a post set up by the
sest side. He had provided himself with a lad
der, a rope, a bundle of matches, and a vial of
poison. Ascending the ladder, he tied one end
of the rope to the post, and the other end round
his neck; then he took the poison, set his 1
clothes on fire, put the muzzle of the pistol to
his'liead and kicked away the ladder. In kick
ing down the ladder, he sloped the pistol so
that the ball missed his head and cut through the
rope by which he was suspended ; lie fell into
the sea, extinguishing the flames of his clothes,
and the sea water which he involuntarily
swallowed counteracted the poison, and thus
in spite of his precautions, he remained
unhanged, unshot, unpoisoned, unbnrned and
uudrowned.
A very pious old gentleman told his son#

Nashville Female Academy *
FOUNDED IBIS.
\ FTER a rest of six months, on the 19th of Janua
ry, 1S6I, 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 Yard 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 Ike United States 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 tbe weather.
8. Security from Fire. These buildings are heated
with steam ann 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,
ai d a part of the time the laraest, 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,
Methodist, or Presbyterian, 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 lOtnmon religion will be daily
inculcated.
6. Maternal Care. This expression excites no ex
pectation whicn is not fully met in the Academy. A
suitable number of ladies, of pi« ty and refinement, de
vote tneir entire time to the supervision ot the expen
si» c the morals, habits and health of the Boarding Pu-
piCa.
ouardians and parents, who for any cause, maybe
seeking a permanent educational home for little girls,
we think, find such a home in the Academy. Apply to
