G-BOIoGIA, TBrCJK»sr>-A.‘3r, J-AfETTJA.JR,IT 17, 18S1. 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. Delegates to the /State Convention. (OFFICIAL.) Appling—Seaborn Hall, J. n. Latimer. Baker—A. II. Coljuiit, C. D Hammond.

The treaty of Tien-tsin was ratified and the convention signed here, on the 24th of October, by Lord Elgin and Prince Hung. The same formalities were gone through with Baron Gros on the following day. The indemnity to be paid by the Chinese has been fixed at eight million taels in all.

British minister which measures the undersigned felt themselves bound to support and insist on, as well as other amendments looking to co-operation knowing that their constituents deemed them wise and prudent. The undersigned have not changed their views, as appears by their votes on the amend ments offered to the ordinance, but voted for the ordinance to prevent any injurious effect which might arise from a large negative vote being recorded against secession. The undersigned wish distinctly to announce 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. Committee on Agriculture; which was a- 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. To Hon. J. C. McGehee, President*# the Convention. Ordered to be spread upon the Journal. The following communication from His Ex cellency, the Governor, was received by the President, read, and ordered to be spread upon the Journal: Executive Department, ) Tallahassee, Jan. 11th, 1861. f To the Hon.

To that Committee, I respectfully refer the Convention for such information as they may deem it not inconsistent with the public interests to lay be- ‘ fore your body. This, I trust, will be deemed by the Conven tion a sufficient compliance with the request embraced in said resolution. Very respectfully, ‘M. S. Perry. Mr. Dawkins, of Alachua, from the committee on arrangements, made the following report: The committee to whom was referred the sub ject of making arrangements fur signing the Ordinance of Secession, beg leave to report that they have discharged that duty.

Hayne, Commissioner from South j Carolina, called upon the President precisely at 4 o’clock this afternoon, and had a very pleas ant personal interview with Mr. Buchanan, which lasted about twenty* minutes. The Pres ident declined to receive any official commu nication from him. or entertain any verbal sug gestion or proposition. The inference from this is, that the Administration intendsvto transact no business whatever with any one but the Federal authorities with reference to affairs at Charleston. Two or three Cabinet sessions have already been held, but no positive decision has yet been arrived at.

Mr. Call, Chairman of the Joint Committee of the two branches of the General Assembly, reported that their respective bodies are now- ready and accept Lhe invitation to attend the ratification of the ordinance. 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.

[Special despatch to the Republican.] Milledglyillf., Jan. 16.—The delegates to the State Convention assembled in the'Representative Hall, at 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 purpose of a preliminary organization. lie tendered his acknowledgements in a few forcible remarks. The first business in order was the selection of a per* manent president of the Convention. But one name was announced : Hon. George W. Crawford, a dele gate from the county of Richmond, was elected by ac clamation. The following additional officers were then chosen. Secretary—A. li. Lamar, of Muscogee. 3rd ballot Messenger—-Ie-se Ostin, of Cobb. Doorkeeper—Mr. Adkins, of Jefferson. A Committee was appointed to wait on ibe Commis 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.

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.

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.

Also the following report: 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 Advocate. Brunswick and Albany Rail Road.—Wc learn from the actiug engineer that the work is progressing rapidly, and the road .will soon be ready for the locomotive, when the work of tract laying will be'commenced in good earnesf. We also understand that the financial panic will not retard the construction of the road. Brunswick Advocate.. Hon. John H. Savage aud S. S. Stanton, who left Nashville recently for Kentucky, to light a duel, were bound over each in a bond of $10,000 to keep the peace for twelve months. 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# not to go under any* circustance6 afishing on the Sabbath, but if they did, by all means to bring home the fish. The following note, says the Marion (Ala.) Commonwealth, was lately received by a gea tlemm in this place, from his overseer : Bear Doctor :—Please send me. by the boy a pair of trace chains, and two door hinges, Jan© had twins last night—also two padlocks.

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.
