secedes.
The new steamship Mississippi, for the-
Savannah and New York line, alluded to in our
issue’of yesterday, was successfully launched
from the ship-yard of W. H. Webb, New York,
on the 15th. and towed to the Allaire Works,
where her engines will be placed in her. Her
dimensions are—length 250 feet, beam 38 feet,
depth of hold 23% feet. Slie will ha ve a beam
engine of SG inch cylinder, with 12 feet stroke.
The extensive wooden covering over

o’clock, A. M.
The proceedings of the morning were opened
by prayer, by Rev. Mr. Evans, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South.
During the exercise, the most decorous silence
prevailed throughout the crowded Hall. Tears
bedewed the checks of many a manly form, and
a responsive “amen” followed the Divine
when he asked God to bless every conclusion,

The minutes of the proceedings of yesterday
were read and corrected.
The President then announced that there
were upon the tabic certain communications
directed to the President of the Georgia Sover
eignty .Convention.
Mr. Stephens, of Talliaferro, moved to have
the same opened and read. Adopted.
The Secretary then read the commission of
Hon. J. Gill Shorter, Commissioner from the
State of Alabama,to the Sovereign State of Geor-„
gia. He afterwards read, as part of the same
communication ; the Ordinance passed by. the
State of Alabama, seceding from the Federal
Union, and also a series of resolutions asking
the co-operation of all of the southern States
in this movement. Also a letter of instructions
from the Alabama Convention to their Com
missioner. Also a communication from the
Hon. J. Gill Shorter, that Alabama desired the
Southern States to send delegates to a Conven
tion to be hcldjon the 4th of February next, at
Montgomery, for the purpose of organizing a
provisional government for the temporary gov
ernment of the same on the basis of the present
Federal Constitution.
The Secretary then proceeded to read a com
munication from Hon. James L. Orr, Commis
sioner from the State Of South Carolina. The
communication of Mr. Orr was similar in char
acter. South Carolina desires the co-operation
of all the seceding States on the basis of the
present Federal Constitution. She signifies
a willingness to enter Into a provisional gov
ernment for a term of two years. The State of
Alabama had suggested Montgomery as the
place, and the 4tli of February next as the time
of said Convention. South Carolina had al
ready appointed delegates to that Convention
although not instructed as to iue place of meet
ing.
The Secretary then read a commission of Mr.
Orr, and also tnc ordinance ot secession passed
by the State of South Carolina.
A communication was then read from the
City Council of the City of Atlanta, suggesting
the City of Atlanta as the place of meeting of
the Southern States in Convention. Tabled for
the present.
Judge W. B. Fleming, Chairman of the Com
mittee to call upon the.Commissioners from the
States of Alabama and South Carolina and as
certain at what time they would be ready to up.

Commissioners had announced themselves
ready to appear before the Convention at any
time it might think proper to receive them.
On motion of Mr. Stephens, of Tolliafero,
Commissioners were invited to address the
Convention this day at 12 o’clock M.
The rules of the Senate, with some slight al
teration, were adopted for the government of
the Convention.
The Secretary was then authorized to employ
additional clerks if necessary.
Reporters and representatives of the press of
the Southern States were invited to seats on the

Editor Savannah Republican :
We left Shanghai on the 5th of October List,
and visited several ports in Japan, of which I
shall endeavor to give you some account in my
next.
The first port we visited was Naga Saki, and
from thence we preceded through the Inner
Sea, touching at Simo-na-saki # Hiogo, Osaea,
and finally anchoring off Yoknfianmjn the Bay
of Jeddo ; remaining there sevej-af^rmys, we
proceeded up the Bay 17 miles, amTvisited Jed
do, the capital of the Japanese Empire, where
we remained four or five days.
The Niagara arrived here on the 22d October,
and left for Japan on the 28th ; we have been so
unfortunate as not to meet her, as we left Japan
on the 6th inst.. We understand the Japanese
Commissioners proved to be excellent passen
gers, giving but little trouble, and occasioning
no annoyance beyond their attempts to partici
pate in defraying expenses. The Niagara on her
way out stopped at Loaudo on the coast of Afri
ca and at Batavia, Java. At tli<Liatter place the
Commissioners paid their respects to the Dutch
Governor; they were afterwards provided with
a dinner or breakfast at one of the hotels, the
proprietor of which charged the snug little
sum of $1,600 for the entertainment of 16 Japan
ese officials and a limited number of officers
(American) who attended them ; this is equal to reas <
the Metropolitan charge. Various opinions are
expressed relative to the influence of the rc-.

confirm any reliable information that will be
furnished about the United States. However,
the Niagara will be here in the course of two or
three weeks, and then perhaps we shall receive
such information as will be satisfactory. Busi
ness at Yokohama or at Naga Saki, was rather
dull when we left, partially - owing, it was said,
to difficulties in exchange, and some unknown
cause.
A treaty is said to have been signed in Pekin
by the Brothers of the Emperor; if so, the war
is virtually at an end. It is stated that official
communications have been received to the effect
that some of the English prisoners have been
released, among whom is Mr. Parkes, a man
who has been notoriously instrumental in pre
venting difficulties for years past, whilst Mr.
Boulby the London Times correspondent lias
been decapitated, and 3 or 4 others died from

American politics have occupied some attention, and

The details of the-Cbiuese tre-tydo not show that
any humiliation has been required by Lord Elgin. The
£100,000 lor the families of the murdered prisoners is
to the point, and is compensation, as far as money can
compensate for human life.

There has been some talk about the high price ol
cotton, but it is only based upon a ’superficial theory,
that “middling** can be bought at 10c. in New Orleans;
that there are 100,000, bales 1C6S on the water, bu;
that the stock exceeds that of last year by the same

McRea unprotected. We are informed that
the committee appointed for the purpose of
waiting on the Commissioners from the Suites
of Alabama and South Carolina were requested
to conduct those gentlemen into the presence
“oTtUe Convention at 12 o’clock.
The Convention then took a recess of twenty
minutes, for the purpose of allowing the com
mittee to wait on the Commissioners from.those
States and conduct them into the Hall.
The Convention passed resolutions inviting
Gov. Joseph E. Brown, and ex-Gov. Howell
Cobb to seats on the floor. A similar invitation
was extended to all Judges of the Supreme and
Superior Courts of this State who may now be
present to seats on the floor.
Mr. Fouche, of Floyd, also laid on the table a
resolution calling on Governor Brown for any
information in his possession which would fa
cilitate the action ot the Convention, and also
to request him to furnish the Convention with
a etrtifiedcopy of the Ordinance by which Geor
gia became a part of the United States Govern
ment. The resolution lies over under th« rnlo3
until to-moTrow.
Mr. Fouche stated that he had examined the
subject, and that there was, to his knowledge,
but one copy of that document in existence and
that was in the hands of the Governor.
At 12 o’clock, m., the President look his scat
and called the Convention to order.
Judge Fleming, from the Committee on that
subject, introduced Hon. James L. Orr, Com
missioner from the State of South Carolina, and
Judge J. Gill Shorter, Commissioner from the
State of Alabama. He introduced the Commis
sioners in a few appropriate remarks. The
Hon. James L. Orr addressed the Convention
in a speech of half an hour, in which he re
viewed the course of the Northern States;
gave the reasons which influenced South Caro
lina iu dissolviug her connection with the
Federal Government, and concluded by in
viting, in the name of his State, the co-opera
tion of Geargin in the formation of a Southern
Confederacy
Judge Shorter then announced to the .Con
vention the secession of Alabama from the
Federal Government. He speht aboufean hour
in au interesting speech, detailing the causes
which had influenced his State to take this
step.
At the conclusion of Judge Shorter’s remarks,
on motion of Hon. A. H. Stephens, the Conven
tion adjourned to 10>£ A. M., to-morrow.
The crowd here is very large and still increas
ing. Hotels and boarding houses are crowded
to their utmost capacity.
The immediate Secessionists are apparently
gaining ground. Despatches are being received
hourly from public men—the general tenor of
which is that Georgia must secede at once.
These arc having their effect. I think the
Convention will appoint a committc on or
dinances to-morrow. That committee will
report a secession ordinance on Monday of
Tuesday. Yours, C.
.ve been removed to Fort Pickens, and that
the place has been put into a coin lcte state ol
defense. We have learned that the armament
of the abandoned forts iverc not in any way in
jured or molested. Fort Pickens it a Very
sl:o ig position, on the point of St. Rosa Island,
on the eastern side of the mouth of tlie harbor,
and is only approachable by land oivane side.
Owing to the openess of the country, which
is but a barren ben of sand, a party a iracking
from that quarter would be very much exposed.
This position, five days ago, could hu e been
taken by fifty men without a blow; to day, we
apprehend, the case is very different. We are
not able to state the exact force in garri?on, but
are not aware of any bu». company “G” of the
Artillery, probably amounting to 60 or 70 men.
If any reinforcements have been throwi in, the
fact has not transpired.
At the Navy Yard, every thing seems to be
quiet, and, judging from appearances, tin work
is going on as usual. Tlie smoke lrom flic va
rious engines curls up as qnietly and gracefully
as if perfect peace and quiet pervaded the
country.
Since the avove was in type, we learn that the
guns at Fort Barancas were spiked and the
screw for elevating the pieces broken,before tlie
abandonment of the place by the United States
troops.
F.very preparation is being made to defend
both Forts Pickens and McRea to the last ex
tremity. The store-ship supply is anchored
between tbc Forts, and the United States stean:
cr Wj’andotte has steam up at all the time,ready
for any emergency.
No arauniuon has yet been removed from the
Magazine in Woolsey, or from the shell house
in Warrington.
A fatal mistake was committed iu not taking
possession of these forts ten days ago, when it
could have been done without firing a gun.—
Ffty men could then have accomplished what a
thousand cannot do to-day. We do not pre
tend to say where this responsibility rests,
it will attach where It belongs. We feel assured,
however,that no one here is chargeable with the
blame, or responsible for the blood that this
blunder may cost.
Union, and feel as keenly as the staunchest
“Union” man the terrible consequences that
must ensue to every branch of industry and en
terprise at its complete dismemberment, yet
we fear that it is now inevitable, and the world
will point to the condition of the States as an
undeniable proof that the principles which once
made that Confederacy honored and powerful
have failed to keep her as such in her lionr of
trial. We may continue to call the Northern
and Southern States the “United States,” from
the fact that it lias never borne an3 T other title ;
but if a name signifies the form of government
and condition of the people, we think it should
be changed into that of “Dis-United States,”
until they are entitled to some other.
Looking, as we do, from a point and place
where we enjoy protection to “life, liberty and
property,” (privileges so strongty advocated by
republicans,) under a monarchal government,
we cannot but feel the superiority of this form ;
and while we regret the disruption of this
pow jrful and valued neighbor, and even yet
hope that it ma3’ not be, we cannot out be con
vinced that a government which onl3* has
power to govern so long as the people are will
ing to be governed, is insufficient to carry’out
objects worthy a great nation.

Major Anderson.—“A Comrade” writes to

late removal of Major Anderson to Fort Sum

The conclusion is:
“Major Anderson is a Southern man—born
and raised in the noble old ‘Dark and Bloody
Ground.’ He will be found on the side of the
South when this Government is dismembered,
and, when his critical position has been proper

Tlie Georgia Forts.
In the House of Representatives on Tuesday,
in reply to some assertions of Mr. Stanton, of
Ohio, concerning tbe seizure of Fort Pn!aski
and Jackson by Georgia—
Mr. Crawford, of that State, said that, so far
as Georgia was concerned, she had taken the
forts because they were intended for her pro
tection and defence; and she accepted all the
responsibility.
Mr. Stanton, understood, then, she had taken
on herself to cany on civil war by doing that
for which there was no pretence of constitu
tional justification.
Mr. Hill, of Georgia, remarked that, so far as
his understanding went, Georgia has not seized
any portion of the public property. Perhaps
some bands of soldiery, not having amhorit3’,
did so. He disclaimed the act on tlie part of
Georgia, acting as a State. [Cries on the Re
publican side of “Good,'-’ and slight applause.}
Mr. Crawford said that his- colleague [Mr.
Hill and himself differed as wideh’ as the poles.
He thought the act was justified by the popular
vote of forty thousand.
Mr. Hill remarked it was not his purpose to*
join issue in a speculative opinion with his
colleague. It was 3’et to be seen whether the
people of Georgia approved of tbe act. Whether
they would or not, he did not know, but he
could say the seizure of Forts Pulaski and
Johnson was not authorized by the Legislature
oranv* Convention of the people. He had
been always hoping fora peaceable solution,

—iA ” W* lutd £r»nl the
beginning that the discussion ot this subject
would not bring them any nearer toe peaceable
solution. Since yesterday he had been strength
ened in this opinion.
Mr. Love, of Georgia, was not satisfied with
tne explanation of either of his colleagues. He
thought both positions wrong. The Legisla
ture of Georgia called a convention, which will
pass on the fact as to whether Georgia is bound
to maintain her position: Intermediate^’, the
people became alarmed, and thought it probable
taeGovernuieut would send garrisons and muni
tions to the forts at the month of the Savannah
river, therefore the forts were seized as a delen-
sive act. If the Convention shall determine that
the State shall not secede, then they will order
the forts to be given up.
Mr. Hardeman, of Georgia, said there was no
disguising the fact that the people of Georg.a
kuew a great revolution was going on, and that
the Federal guns were threatening a sister State;
therefore the Governor of the State, that he
might protect the people iu advance^ took pos
session of the forts. This was not justified b>
lie usages of nations except ir« revolutionary
times. If Georgia shall determine to secede,no
uuuOt the act will be endorsed as a precau
tionary measure of safetN*. If not, the forts
will be returned to the Federal Government.
If Georgia shall secede, lie was determined to
stand by the act of the Governor, for weal or
woe.
Air Stauton replied : If we garrison the forts,
gentlemen call it coercion. If we leave them
unprotected, the3' are seized, and their guns
turned against the constitutional authorities of
the county. He held himself re«d3’ to remove,
as far as he could, delusions, and to correct
misrepresentations. He undertook to 8113*,
when the Republican Administration shall come
into power, it will be demonstrated that it will
iet on the principles of Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, John Quincy Adams. Jackson, Harri
son, and perhaps those of Polk.
Mr. Leake, of Virginia, asked the gentleman
to explain how that could be.
Mr. Stanton replied it would be done for the
plain reason that it professes the same princi
ples as those Administrations or parties. lie
did not believe the great masses of the South are
islo3’al to the.Union. The raviugsof Garrison,
Phillips, and such oilier men, are uniting heart
and hand with persons at Charleston to over
throw the Government. These ravings and ut
terances have been disseminated through the
South as reflective of the doc riucs of the Repub
lican party ; and acting on that idea, there is a
resistance elf the exercise of constitutional pow
ers. He was williug- so to amend the Constitu
tion as to prevent the Federal Government from
interfering with slavey in the States,
except by a unanimous vote of all the States, as
proposed in the Coinrni tee of Thtm’-threc. He
did not think this was necessary, but he would
remove a delusion. Ho was willing to take
the territorial question beyond the jurisdiction
■>f Congress, b3’ admitting New Mexico into tlie
Union as a State.
Mr. Rust, of Arkansas, as a member of that
Committee, protested that they had ever made
such recommendations. He did not under
stand that anything had been approved b.v the
Committee ; and, on a direct vote, he believed
the Committee repudiated what purports to be a
report. Nothing was recommended or adopt
ed*; and it would be equivalent to a fraud on
the countrV’ to permit a statement the opposite
of this to pass uneontradieied.
Fine Cotton.—We announce the sale of four
bales of Zippora silk cotton, by Heard & Clark,
tc H. F. Russell, at twenty-eight cents per
pound. Tills cotton was grown by Charles Mc
Coy, Esq., of this city, and is pronounced, by
the best judges, the ‘finest, and longest staple
ever crown on uplands, and produces equal to
Pettit Gulf seed. The seed can be had of Mr
McCoy, and we would advise our planters to
procure and plant them, as they will find it a
profitable investmest.
Zipporah Cotton Seed—prices, one pound
for ten dollars; three pounds for twenty dollars;
eight pounds for fifty dollars ; twenty pounds
for one hundred dollars ; for sale by Chas. Mc
Coy, Augusta, Ga.—Aug. Constitutionalist.
A man that has a soul worth a six
pence, must have enemies. It is utterly im
possible for the best man to please the whole
world, and the sooner this is understood, and
a position taken in view of this fact, the better.
Do right though you have enemies. You can
not escape them by’ doing wrong, and it is little
gain to barter away your honor and man
hood and divest yourself of moral courage to
gain what ? Nothing. Better abide by the truth-
frown down all opposition, and rejoice in the
feeling which must inspire a free and indepen
dent inan.
* Suicides, Accident, Ac. —Dr. Win. II. Mur
ray, a highly respectable citizen of Clarke co.,
committed suicide one day' last week, by shoot
ing him self.
Mr. Pickens Harrison, a highly respectable,
industrous and sober citizen of Walton co.,
committed suieide last week, by’ cutting his
throat.
Mr. Samuel Locklin (son of James-Z. Lock-
lin) accidentally shot himself wjiile killing hogs
last week, and*died in a few minutes.—Athens

The Alabama Trooi's.—ihe reusacola Ga
zette, of Saturday, says : The 9 o’clock train
;ast night, brought 264 men from Montgomery,
eommandedjby Col. Lomax, to co-operate with
the Florida troops in the capture of the public
works at this point. The detachment consists
• if the Montgomery True Blues, Capt. Andrews;
Tuskegee Light Infantry’, Capt. R. Mays; Inde
pendent Rifles, Capt. Farris'; Wetumpka Light
Infautry, Capt. J. R. Loomis; Montgomery
Guards, Lieut. Whiting, Commander. We have
never seen a liner looking body of men ; they
are composed of the flower of Alabama chival
ry, and do not look like men whom the smell of
gun powder would make nervous. We under
stand another detachment is expected to-night.
Guard the Coast —It is stated that the no
torious Redpatli John Brown, a son of old Os-
sawattomie, aud 6ome 13 colored passengers,
have chartered a brig to proceed first to Jersey
City, and thence ostensibly to Port-au-Prince.
The Boston Transcript, however, says:
“It would not surprise us if Redpath aud some
of Ills associates were fouud, ere long,making
a dash upon the coast of South Carolina. These
men are capable of almost any act of dariDg,
and they will be found as difficult to catch as
Montgomery on the frontiers of Kansas and
Misouri. There is more method in their mad
ness than iu that of oid John Brown.”
It behoves our State authorities, and the peo :
pie along the exposed portions of the coast, to
look out for these marauders. This is but the
first inkling of the descent of these piratical
bands, and everything should be in readiness to
give them a warm reception. When caught,
let them bang as high as old Ossawattomie.—
f PnJumhin Guardian.
Message from the Acting-Governor of
Kansas.—The Message of actiug-Governor
Beck, to the Territorial Legislature, is mainly-
devoted to local affairs. In regard to national
affairs, he thinks the present distracted state oi
the country is owing to the aggressive policy
of the Republicans, and he urges conciliation
for the Union. But, if a dissolution takes
place, he trusts that Kansas will decline iden
tification with either branch of the Union, but
establish a separate and independent govern
ment.
One was Smart and the utuer Smarter.—
A gentleman from Montgomery came to the con
clusion, the other day, that a little thrashing
would do one of his negro men good, and so
wrote'a note to the police office, requesting
that thirty-niue lashes bo administered the
bearer, and gave the note to the victim for de
livery, saying nothing of its \ urport.—
But somehow or other the boy did not like the
errand, and, on his way, meeting a colored
friend, he requested him to leave, the note at
the guardhouse, as he was in a hurry to go in
another direction. The too-ainiable unfortunate
duly delivered tlie note, pregnant with painful
fate, and was duly tied up and treated to
“ what it called for,” much to his consternation
and misery.
Drowned.— *> imam nuuiuauu, a resident of
this city, was drowned in the Savannah River
about 12 o’clock M. yesterday. We learn that
he was arrested by Detective officer J. B. Ram
sey, who h id a warrant from W. Slierron, Esq.
The arrest took place in Broad street, above
the Planters’ Hotel. Immediately alter the w?r-
rant was served, we are informed that Robin
son drew-a bowie-knife, and resisted being
taken, at the same time retreating towards tlie
river. Here he pulled off his coat, and not
withstanding the protestations of the officer
that he would be drowned, he plunged in,
swam about half-way across, turned to come
back, sunk aud was drowned. The body had
not been recovered last evening.—Aug. Chroni
cle & Sentinel.
Scientific Rifle ohuolix»u.—h. should, in
these days of sanguinary portent, afford some
little consolation to know that the killing of a
combatant in battle is averse to the “true art”
of war, as we learn from Col> Peard, “Garibaldi
Englishman,” who is reported to have said of
rifle shooting in war: “Mind. If ever you go
rifle shooting use your rifle in a sciejtlfic man
ner. Recollect always not to kill your man,
but to wound him ; then it takes two men to
carry him off, and those two men never by any
chance come hack the same day. With a double-
barreled rifle, tlierefo-e, you may get rid of six
men at each discharge.”
Among the numerous suspensions, Canity
Fair notices that of Bfkndin’s Rope Walk, at
Niagara, but is not surprised thereat, for his
business has always been conducted on a very
nsecure -footing.
Richmond Hussars.—A detachment from
this company as part of the Augusta Volunteer

Instructions to Maj. Anderson.
New Yoke, Jan. 18.—Tho H .-raid’s Washington cor*
respondent says that President Buchanan’s instructions
to Major Anderson are to act strictly in the defensive ;
but if the authorities of Carolina repeat the experiment
of firing upon vessels for Fort Sumpter, he will open
her batteries.
Another correspondent says, on the authority of a
Senator, thatalthough the President refuses to receive
Commissioners from any single State, he will not with
hold official recounition of authorized Ambassadors
from a confederacy of seceding States.

Nashville Female Academy»
FOTJINDKID 1016.
A FTER a rest of six months, on the 19th of Janua
ry, 1861, I resume mv 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 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 tho 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 the weather.
3. Security from Fire. These buildings are heated
with steam ana lighted by gas, and thus free the pa
rents of our pupils from at least one source oleonstant
anxiety about their children.
4. Health—unequalled 1. any Female School in
this or any other country. Though one of the largest,
and 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.
5. Non-Sectartau. It i* v/elTCcMwn to all acquaint
ed with the Academy, that a Baptist, Episcopalian,
his Dau
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 toinmon religion will be daily
inculcated.
6. Maternal Care. This expression excites no ex
pectation which is not fully met in the Academy. A
suitable number of ladies, of piety and refinement, de
vote their entire time to the supervision of the expen
-■ the morals, habits and health of the Boarding Pu-
pilla *
guardians 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
