FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 18, 1861
L
Annexation of Florida.
This topic has been frequently discussed of
late, it is true by private individuals, but such
as are presumed to represent a. considerable
public sentiment in the State of Florida. We
have no means of knowing the sentiment of the
great body of her people, and if we had the
slightest indication of their opposition to the
measure proposed, we should refrain from all
allusion to the subject.
It is proposed, as before stated, to divide the
State of Florida by the Apalachicola River, the
western division then to be annexed to tljq
State of Alabama, and ali east of the line, in
cluding the islands, to be incorporated with the
State of Georgia.
Whfle.such a division would straighten the
line of Alabama and give symmetry to her pro
portions, besides giving her one of the best sea
ports in the Union furnished with a Navy Yard
and well fortified, the accession to Georgia
would make her imperial in her domain, and
with a climate affording nearly every produc
tion of the world. We should raise ice in our
northern, and tropica! fruits in our southern
section. The country annexed, too, under the
new order of things, would settle up rapidly
and soon become one of the most prolific sec
tions of the continent. Readily accessible by
natural and artificial highways, in a few years
there would remain but little of H»AilUble do
main unappropriated iotlie*wants of mankind.
The new aud independent existence upon
which both Florida and Georgia will probably
soon enter, will afford an excellent opportunity
for negotiations on this subject, without in
terference from any quarter whatever. They
can arrange the matter to suit themselves, and
no one can rightfully say nay.
The public debt of Florida may be regarded
as, perhaps, the leading obstacle to the propos
ed annexation ; bat we apprehend this will
prove more of an imaginary than real hindrance.
Whatever may be her debts, her resources, well
managed, as they would be in the hands of
Georgia, are ample to meet them all. An ar
rangement might readily be made with the
bon’d-'ttoldetfs for existing securities to remain
in statu quo, undisturbed by the act of annexa
tion, only that the administration of the assets
would pass from the hands of one State into the
hands of another. Georgia and Alabama need
not incurany additional obligation by the move
ment.
At a future day, should the project assume
assume anythng of a serious practical aspect,
we snail recur to it and discuss the whole mat
ter in dclaiL At present we throw out ouly
such reflections as ocour to us on thfc first blush
of the question.
VOL. LX.
Georgia Stale Convention.
[Reported specially for the Savannah Republican.]
Milledgevili.e, Jan. 16, 1861.
The Convention met—on motion of C. W.
Styles, of Ware, Hon. H. L. Bennlng, of Mus
cogee, was called to the Chair for the purpose
of organization.
On taking the Chair, Mr. Benning said :
Gentlemen :—I beg you to accept my sincere
thanks for the honor which you have done me
by calling me to this place. J can only promise
to give you my best endeavors to deserve the
compliment. It is proper, at the same time,
to let you know that my acquaintance with
parliamentary law is extremely limited ; and
therefore, it will be necessary for me to throw
myself upon your indulgence, I dare say, even
in the short time, that it will be necessary for
me to occupy the preseut position. I shall re
ly upon your liberal and prompt aid and inter
position, if at any time yon see ine going astray
to put me in the right track.
On motion of Mr. Styles, A. Hood, of Ran
dolph. was appointed temporary Secretary.
The proclamation of Gov. Brown, calling the
Convention, was read and the Secretary pro
ceeded to call the roll. The counties of Chat
tahoochee, Clinch, Glynn and Lincoln were
omitted in the call ; no returns having been re
received at the Department from those coun
ties.
On motion of Mr. Bartow, the delegates
from those counties were allowed their seats.
The Chairman said it had been suggested
that before we proceed further we should have
prayer.
,.. 5^her®»poft4tev.-J»fnes Williamson, a delff
gate from the county of Telfair, being called
upon, addressed the throne of grace in a fervent
and patriotic appeal.
There was a motion to elect by ballot, a
President—which, after some discussion and
proposed amendments, was agreed to. Hon.
Geo. W. Crawford was nominated by Hon. A.
Hull, of Clarke, and Hon. A. II. Stephens was
nominated by Hon. P. W. Alexander, of Up
son. Hoiw A. H. Stephens withdrew his own
name and said, he hoped the nomination cf
Hon. G. \V. Crawford would be unanimously
affirmed. Hon. G. W. Crawford was then de
clared, by acclamation, President with but a
few dissenting voices. Messrs. Hull, of Clark,
Stephens, of Taliaferro, and Kenan, of Baldwin,
conducted Mr. Crawford to the Chair, who ad
dressed the Convention as follows :
Gontlemen oj the Convention:
In accepting the office just conferred on me,
permit me to Miy, that I am grateful for your
kindness, and that I can scarcely bring to the
performance of its duties, more than the inten
tion of fairness and fidelity. Makers of your
own rules, which afe always subject to revision
■i amendment, it will be your concern, as

Possible /iPJouaNMUNT gf the Convention
to Savannah.—It was generally reported on
the street yesterday, that the Convention,
- now in session at Milledgevillc, would probably
adjourn to, Savannah in the course of a few
days. Upon enquiry as to the facts, we learn
that a despatch was received yesterday by the
Mayor, from members of the Convention, re
questing to be informed whether or not a suit
able room could be had, and sufficient hotel
accommodations, in Savannah. I a reply, the
Masonic Hall was tendered, free of change, to
the Convention ; the Central Railroad Company
offered to bring down the delegates without
cost; and furthermore, the hotel room was am
ide for all probable demands.

Tiir Collector Question.—The Government
is creating considerable excitement all over the
country by its efforts to have appointed a Col
lector of Ibe-Customs at the port of Charleston.
This is a wild goose chase, beyond doubt. Car
olina has blockaded the harbor herself, and
there are no customs to collect. Why, then,
persist in the folly of appointing an officer who
will never carry a dollar into the government
coffers, aud whose appearance in our southern
waters can only irritate and embitter the public
mind at the south. The stopping tip of the
channel to Cnarleston harbor seeni6 to us a
practical solution of the whole question, which
should exclude it at ouce from the Senate.
The true policy of the Government would
be to withdraw her military from Charleston
and its vicinity, make no more threats, and al
low the South Carolinians to remove the ob
structions and collect their own revenue in
their own port. It professes to be governed
by a pacific policy—let it act up to its profes
sions. Much harm and no good will come of
the contrary course.
Supreme Court Decisions*.
Delivered at Savannah, January Term, 1861.
Robert R. Lawson, Plaintiff iu error, vs. Green
B. Powell, Ex’r, «fcc., Defendant in error.—
Assumpsit from Burke.
The Court below decided “ that au executor
could not bind the estate of his testator by any
admission or promise he might make.”
This judgment was reversed by the Supreme
Court.
John K. Jackson, for Plaintiff in error.
No appearance for Defendant in error.
Green G. Watson, Plaintiff in error, vs. Simeon
Warnock, Defendant in error.
This was a contest for the guardianship of a
minor.
The defendant in error was the cousin of the
child’s father. The father, in his last sickness,
earnestly expressed the wish that the defeudant
shonltL be the guardian of the child. The de-
r lendant was ah»o' shown to be prudent in the
management of money and property, and a
kind, humane, and proper man to take charge
of the minor and her property. The Court be
low awarded him the guardianship of the child,
- as against the plaintiff in error, who rested his
right upon the fact that he was the maternal
uncle of the child.
This judgment was affirmed by the Supreme
Court.
John K. Jackson, for Plaintiff in error; Jones
& Sturgis and Slicwmake, for the Defendant in
error.
Thomas W. Hardwicke aud Samuel Smith,
Plaintiffs in error, vs. John D. Paradise and
Miles Whitfield, Defendants iu error.
This was a claim case from Washington
county.
The Court below refused to permit the plain
tiffs in fi. fa. to explaiu certain entries on the fi.
fas. of “ claims made,” and “levies dismissed,”
In order to rebut the presumption that the fi.
fas. were satisfied.
This judgment was reversed by the Supreme
Court.
B. D. Evans, for the Plaintiff in error.
No appearance for Defendant in error.
Andrew Floyd, Plaintiff in error, vs. Simeon
Wallace, Adm’r, &c., Defendant in error.
This was a complaint from Burke. The judg
ment of the Court below was reversed by the
Supreme Court.
!„ Jones & Sturgis, for Plaintiff in error; Jack
son, for Defendant in error.
r
Green G. Watson, Plaintiff In error, vs. Simeon,
Warnock Defendant.in error.
This was a contest for letters of administra
tion, from Burke.
The court below decided, that as between
two parties neither of whom had any legal right
to the administration, the preference (other
.hings being equal) migty be well given to the
ardianof the only heir at law of the deceased,
ho, If ofage, would be entitled to the admin
ration. The Court below also refused to give
counsel for the plaintiff in error time during
the trial, to make out and tender a bill of ex
ceptions to a judgment offered in evidence, in
order that the effect of such judgment as evi
dence, might be avoided.
The judgment of the Court below was affirm
ed by the Supreme Court.
Jackson for Plaintiff in error. Jones <fc Stur
gis >nd Shewmake for Defendant in error.
The bark Sarah Park, Capt. Pendleton,
from Bristol, arrived here yesterday with 667
tons of Railroad iron for the Albany & Gulf
rood, consigned to Messrs Padelford, Fay <fc
Co.
aud ..
doubtless it will be } our pleasure, in uphold
Ing them. Moreover, the magnitude of the
cause may impart calmness of deliberation,
forbearance in conflicting opinions, inflexibility
of purpose, and above nil, uranimity of action.
To your safe-keeping has been confided one
tenth of the entire productive labor of the South,
and nearly one half of the entire taxable wealth
of yonr State. Our constituents have declared
that this interests lias been and is assailed, with
out cause, and against good conscience. The
menace of destruction, like the sword of Dam
ocles now overhangs it. They have required
redress from our confederates. They are faith
less. They have sought redress from the Fed
eral Government. It is importent. They now
demand redress, even though it be outside of
that sovereignty, which hedges us in.
The stirring incidents, with which we are
nearly surrouuded, provoke inquiry. Oil either
side, his interest is our interest, his cause is our
cause, his danger is our danger, and his safet)
is our safety. He is our brother. That brother’s
eye is upon us and will
“ Mark
Our coming, or look brighter when we come. ”
On motion of Mr. Wellborn, of Union, the
Convention went info the election ol a Secre
tary. *

didates : Hillyer of Walton, Lamar of Musco
gee, Hamilton of Fulton, Terhune of Floyd,

A preliminary rule was adopted, forbidding
applause on the floor and in the gallery.
Jesse Oslin w s, by acclamation, declared
Messenger of the Convcution.
Mr. Adkins, of Oglethorpe, -was declared

On motion of Mr. Fouche, of Floyd, a Com
mittee cf three was appointed by the Chair to
consult as to the rules.
A committee of three was appointed to wait
upon Hon. James L. Orr, Commissioner from
South Carolina, and Hon. John G. Shorter,

Clergy of the city and visiting Clergy were re
quested to alternate in opening the sessions ol
this Convention with prayer.

diate secessionists have a decided majority.
Many who were elected eo-operationists art
here secessionists. An ordinance of secession,
if passed—and there is no doubt it will be—
will be signed immediately by every membei
(if you except about t« i n) of the Convention.
There are not less than a thousand stranger-

[Special Despatch to the Charleston Courier.]
Important from Washington.
Mr. Huger and the Ik-aytmenl at Washington—
Letter of Inquiry—Major Anderson's Letters—
Reply of the Lbslmaster, etc.
Washington, January Id.—Information hav
ing reached the Postoffice Department that
letters and correspondence of Major An
derson had, by order of the Governor of South
Carolina, been subjected to the surveillance of
the P .stmaster and other authorities at Charles
ton, Mr. Holt addressed a letter to air. Huger
making inquiry into the matter.
The Postmaster at Charleston replied, under
date of the 12th instant, that when couimunicx
tion between the city and Fort Sumter was first
interrupted, aud under the intense excitement
that prevailed, and in order to avoid collision
with unauthorized parties, a distinction hat
been made, by order of Governor Pickens, in
two instances, between the official and private
letters of Major Anderson. Subsequently
however, this decision of the Governor seenn-
to have been reconsidered. Mr. Huger say-
further that he now sends all matter addressed
to Major Anderson and the officers and men it
his command, under sealed cover ; that he con
tinues so to do up to the present time of writ
ing, whenever an opportunity occurs, and that
he does it without the surveillance of the Post
»ffice or other authorities of Charleston.

COTTON.—There has been a good steady demand
throughout the week ; the sales however,have been res
tricted by the small offering sto ks; a very large propor
tion of the receipts, which have been heavy-, are for
through shipment to the north, and to foreign ports.
The demand is !or even running lots of good cottons,
which are difficult to obtain to any considerable extent.
The market closesjflrm at our quotations of last week,
which we here repeat:

22c., Wax 27c., and Tallow Sc. per lb.
COAL.—We quote Liverpool parlor $4.50; »'annel
$5@.$5.50 per ton.
TIMBER.—The arrivals of the week have been short
of last week, but still sufficiently heavy to supply the
Inquiry, and as it is ascertained that the rise in the
water courses is not so extensive as was anticipated,
buyers have entered the market more freely, and sale
.if both Mill and Shipping have been made at 50 cents
to $1 advance on Ias.t week's prices. *
Of Shipping Timber, there is but little arriving, of
prime quality, thoug su Ilc’ent for the demand, which
»s materially reduced on account of the advance in
cotton Ireigbia which virtually enneel many British
>rders, where the rate of freights is so limited as to
fall 15 or 20 shillings t-hort of the rate at which room
ran be had. Me qnote as follows : Mill $7 ©$9.50
Shipping $10 to $16.
LUMBER.—The mills are yet employed in finishing
up their old contacts. There has been but little en
quiry durmg the .week under review; nor is there
much demand anticipated until the present political
-lifflculties a*e adjusted. We continue our previou?
quotations, as ther* have been no transactions at lower
figures, but with the remark that as Timber is mort-
abundant and cheaper, and some of the mills are near,
ly out of work, g*>J orders might be placed at 50c. to
f UK) lower : Square edged stuff, lor shipping, at $15
or ordinary sizes and $19 © $20 for difficult size*-,
ind $16 © $17 (or rough edged. For Cuba and
3 «uth America cargoes $16 © $1S, according to speci-
ficatlon&
EXCHANGE.—Sterling Exchange is improvirg.
The highest sale we kave heard of was at 104, but we
le «m that 105 has keen offered. In sight on New
York, mo6t of thebuiiness is being done out doors, as
ihe legal restriction on bank rates i * a barrier to
-heir comjieting with merchants, who can take advan
tage of the occasion. The rate for A 1 sight bills 2 per
cent premium, some parties are asking higher. Time
bills aro freely offered at bank, but those having longer
than 30 days to run mket with no favor; the rate is in
terest off. On Philadelphia 1 per cent is asked.
FREIGHTS.—Both Foreign and Domestic have
been active this week, end the rates are firm as quoted,
with little unengaged room. We quote to Liverpool
,Sd., to Havre l*c M to Gottenberg l*c. To Boston,

Nashville Female Academy?
FOUNDED 1S1G.
A FTER a rest of six mo tha, on the 19th of ‘Janua-
XjL ry, 1S61, I resume m p-» ltion as Principal of
rhis Inrtitution, 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 enclo-ed \ ard of about six acre*, 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 axtent ami suitableness, for all school
purposes, unequal led in_the United s tates by any Fe
male School ; and these surrounded by pavements and
corridors, offering consiaui Utduc>inents to caiidren,
to breathe the fresh air, without regard to the weather.
8. Security from Fire. These buildings are heated
with steam *nn lighted by gas, and thus free the pa
rents of our pupils from at least one source of constant
anxiety about their omidren.
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 largest. Boarding School in
the United States, yet but three deaths iiuve ocenrred
among its pupils in nearly 45 years.
5. Non-Sectarian. It is well known to all acquaint
ed with ihe Academy, that a Baptist, Episcopalian,
dethodist, 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 .ommon religion will be daily
inculcated.
6. Maternal Care. This expression excites no ex
pectation whieo is not fully met in the Academy. A
suitable number of ladies, of pit ty and refinement, de
vote t'ieir ontire time to the supervision ol the expen
»•*- the morals, habits and health of the Boarding Pu-
pillA
guardians and parents, who for any cause, maybe
seeking a permas.ent educational home for little girls,
we think, find such a home in the Academy. Apply to
