“Georgia Out of U»e Union!”
This was the exclamation that spread like
wildfire through,our city within n few minutes
after the telegraph announced the action of the
Convention on SatuMay afternoon. All seemed
satisfied that Georgia had spoken—giving
prompt expression to h»r determination to
stand by She rights of the South and dare main
tain them. A salute of fifteen guns was fired
by the citizens, inclement as was the weather;
and at night, when the rain had partially sub
sided, another salute was fired. The Mayor was
serenaded by a band of music, and a disposition
manifested to give glad welcome to the tidings,
but the weather seemed to urge a postponement
of manifestations, and little else was done save
general interchange of congratulations.—
There had been differences in views as to the
time and manner of withdrawal from tire
Union, but the voice of this seclion of the
State was almost unanimous for immediate se
cession. Now that our Convention has spoken,
there- is but one mind anil ohe will—that
pervades all—and that is, to defend tne rights
ind maintain the honor and dignity of our noble
State.
Lonk by Fire of tlie SlcaniKhip Wm*
Jenkins.
The steamship Wra. Jenkins, arrived in
our river on Friday last, from Boston and
Baltimore, with an assorted cargo, and hauled
in near Lamar’s Cotton Press. On Saturday
night about 12% o’clock, fire was discovered
issuing from the engine room by the watchman
on board, and wLo v.as attached to the vessel.
In a short time the flames spread through the
vessel with fearful rapidity, and it was
barely with their lives that those on
board, who were asleep in their berths,
escaped. The lire, we yearn was owing
some disarrangement of the Donkey pump
in the engine room, which had been in use
during the day. No doubt the lire had been
burning long before it was discovered, as the
lestrtructiou of the vessel seemed inevitable
from the moment it was first discovered. She
was cut loose from the wharf and floated to the
opposite shore, Hutchinson’s Island. The
Washington and Oglethorpe Fire Companies,
with their engines, went by steamer, imme
diately, to her assistance, but their efforts were
vain, for the ship burned very rapidly, and by
10 o’clock yesterday morning was consumed to
the water’s edge. About one-third of her e-afiro
was destroyed. She had but recently under
gone repairs at Wilmington, Delaware, amount-
ng to §J0,00O. We could not learn whether
hi-re was any insurance on the vessel; the
general Impression s that there was none.

tire da}’, till 4 o’clock in the afternoon.
Hon. W. II. Stiles is to speak at the Capitol
co-uight. .us I write, there is a large crowd on
the Capitol square preparing to raise the Con-
lincntal flag of Georgia. When raised, it will
be saluted by the Troup Artillery (a new corps
recently organized in this city) with a hundred
guns. The citizens .are preparing fora torch
light profession, fireworks, t*cc. As the mail
closes before these demonstrations come off I
am compelled to close without noticing them
more particularly.
The Committee on Ordinances will report a
Secession Ordinance to-morrow—I think it will
piss with cert linty—and to-morrow night will
find Georgia a Free, Independent, Sovereign
State.
While the Convention was in session the out
siders (among them some of our most distin-
«-ui»hed men) organized a convention on their
own hook. They had a lively time offerii g
resolutions, making speeches, &e.
Y^urs, C.
Federal Government at a discount.—We
learn, says the Mobile Tribune, of the 15th
that the Collector of Customs at this port re*
fused to pay a draft yesterday, drawn by the au
thorities at Washington, until orders were re
ceived from the Governor of Alabama.
A New Flag for, Alabama.—An Alabama
steamboat captain has got up an Alabama flag,
in the same shape as the usual American flag,
but instead of thirty-three stars be puts one
large star in the centre, encircled by seven
-tars, representing the seven principal cotton
States.
Gen. Twiggs has declared his purpose to
adhere to his gallant State of Georgia, and to.
resign his position in the present arm}’ when
ever Georgia shall secede.—Mobile Advertiser.
[special Dispatch to the Charleston Mercury.]
From Washington.
Washington, January IS.—It is understood
that Hon. A. B. Greenwood will accept the
portfolio of the Interior Department at the ur
gent solicitation of some Southern men, who
hdpe, through him, to be aLle to check any
precipitancy on the part of Buchanan’s Admin
istration. Greenwood is a strong co-operaflon-
«st, but is opposed to e> ercion.
Holt declares that his views have been mis
understood in the South, and that he is not re
sponsible for the existing stale of things. He
is much mortified at the scene that occurred in
the Executive Session of the Senate yesterday,
and yet it is said that to-day’s doings iu the
Senate were but a repetition of those of yester
day.
Hayne has postponed sending in his commu
nication to the President until Monday.
In the House of Representatives to-day, Sher
man made a regular war speech, calling boister
ously, in allusion to the Morris Island affair,
for protection to the United States flag. Craw
ford’s reply was a masterly defence of the
course ol South Carolina. He fastened the re
sponsibility of the whole affair upon the Feder
al Administration. His speech produced qnite
a sensation.
There was another rumpus in the Executive
session of the Senate to-day. Holt and the
President were severely handled. The
Uonists, however, carried the day.
coufirmed by r. vole of to 13.
Mr. McDowell was also confirmed as Consul
to Lyons.
Reagan, of Texas, left here this afternoon for
home. He goes back U* urg«- Texas to act with
promptitude.
Despatches received here to-da}’ from Charles
ton, suite positively that the market is open to
Major Anclerson and his men, and that every
courtesy has been extended to them by the State
authorities. This announcement, for a time,
took the wind completely out of the Abolition
sails. President Buchanan expresses himself as
highly gratified at this return of friendly rela
tions between Charleston and Foit Sumter.—
Great confidence is expressed by Southern men
inlhe judgment and discretion of Major An
derson. The fresh meat and vegetables of
Charleston are wholesome, and it is understood
I that the Major improves the appetites of his
command by two hours daily exercise with
|liand grenades, the fuses of which are adjusted
at proper distances to suit the tide.

Pensacola and its Fortifications.
Pensacola bay has rare properties as a harbor.
It is now accessible to frigates. The bar is
near Hie coast, and the ( hand across it short
ind easily passed. The harbor is perfectly land
locked, and the roadstead very capacious.—
There are excellent positions within lor repair-
, building, and launching vessels, and for
docks and dock yards in healthy situations.—
The supply of good water is abundant. These
properties, in connection with the position of
the harbor, as regards the coast, have induced
he government to select it as a naval station,
aud a place of rendezvous and repair. The
upper arms of Pensacola bay receive the Yellow
Water or Pen river, Middle riv«*r, and Escambia
riv»»r, eleven miles lrom the Gulf.
Santa kos v island.
Santa Rosa Island is situated east by north
west by south fourteen leagues, and completely
shuts out Pensacola from Hie sen. It is so low
that the sea iu a gain washes its top. It is not
more than one-fourth of -i mile wide. Tlie
west point of this island is at the mouth of
Pensacola bay. The latter is not over one and a
quarter miles wide.
fort PICKENS.
The principal means of defence to the mouth
ot Pensacola bay and the naval station is Fort
Pickens. This fort is a first class baslioned
fort, bail: of New York granite, and situated on
low ground on the east poiut of Santa Rosa
Island. Its walls are fort-five feet in lieighL by-
twelve feet in thickness ; it is embrasured for
two tiers ot guns, which art* placed under
bombproof casemates, besides having one tier
of guns barbette. Tlie guns from this work

Louisiana all Right.—The New Oilcan?
Delta says that the secessionists havecarrcd the
State Convention by an overwhelming majority.
That paper thinks the secession majority will
be as high as forty.
The popular vote of Alabama, at the recent
election, stood, 35,776 for Immediate Secession
and 26,2SG for O-npemf.ion.
The storm*hip lluiici is expected u> sail hum
the navy yard, at Brooklyn, on or about the
20th inst., for Si. Paul de Loando. Letters and
packages for the officers and crews of the ship.-
of the African squadron will be forwarded In
her, if sent in season to the Naval Lyceum, at
the Brooklyn yard.
Letter fkon Fort Sumter.—Capt. Double
day, one of the officers at Fort Sumter, in a let
ter dated the 6th inst., says :
At Fort Moultrie everything had been pre
pared for a desperate stand ; and we could have
done little .".gainst the powerful batteries of ibis
fort, which would have been turned against us,
in addition to an army of at least 10,000 men
ho would have assailed us on the land side.
Our own lives were of little consequence, _ but
our defeat would have involved t he los= of thi?
harbor to the United States—a loss that would
have been irreparable. The Charlestonians arc
surroundin'; us with batteries on every point ot
land in the vicinity, and are arming them with
guns, from lorts they have seized. This is done
with the hope of preventing any vessel from
coming to our assistance, aud also with a view
to force ns ultimately to surrender from a lack
of supplies. In this I think they will be dis
appointed, as there is no such word as surren
der in Major Anderson’s composition. The
war garrison of this Fort is 600 men—we have
about 70 ; but should they attack us I hope tin-
country at large will have* no reason to find fault
with our defence.
One of our boats and some tnen have been
captured. The lights in the harbor have been
put out, the buoys taken up, ail communica
tion has been cut ©ff except such as the Gov
ernor chooses to authorize, and yet we hesitate
to tire upon them. Major Anderson still hopes
that, wiser counsels may prevail amongst them,
ai d that something may occur to prevent the
impending striie.
Charleston News.—W .ake the following
paragraphs from the Charleston Mercury of
Saturday:
As inquiries are made in regard to the truth
of telegraphic dispatches concerning 'the sup
plies sent to the officers of Fort Sumter, we
would satisfy all parties by stating that there is
not the slightest doubt of the fact. Provisions
are sent them daily by the State authorities. Longevity.—Before the revolution of 1793,
Tho ladies of Charleston have sent a C^olinnJ t i, u average length oflile in France is said to
flag to Headquarters, with the following note ■ i m -c been twenty-eight years, and at the present
time it is thirty-seven years. We are assured
by M. de Sapasses that it we would only live
reasonably, we would reach to an average of one
hundred and fifty to two hundred years ! This
is what he calls the natural length of life. ‘‘Tlie
life of warmblooded mammifera* is subject to
an invariable law ; the duration of the ex
istence appears to be equal to ten times the
period of their growth. It is thus with the
elephant, the ox, the cat, the dog, and the
quadrumans. Two tuammiferse are the only
exceptions—the horse and the man. And why?
It is because they are slaves—the one of tlie
dire condition of* work, and the other of his
passions and the necessities of his social con
dition. ‘ |

Nashville Female Academy«
. IPOTTZSTDIED 1S1G.
A FT Eli a rest of six months, on the 19th of Janua-
ry, 1661, 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 lollcgving :
1. A well enclosed A ard of about six acres, within
the incorporated limits of Nashville, ttaas 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 Unit, d States by any Fe
male School; aud these surrounded by pavements and
corridors, offering cou slant inducements to cnildrtm,
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 of constant
anxiety about their children.
4. Health—unequalled i any Female School in
this or any other country. Though one of tho largest,
ard a part of the time the largest, Boarding School in
the United States, yet but three deaths have occurred
among its pupils in nearly 45 years.
5. Non-Sectarian. It is well known to all acquaint
ed with the Academy, that a Baptist, Episcopalian,
Methodist, or Presbyterian, sends nis Daughter here,
perfectly satisfied, that in no respect will offence be
given to his peculiar views, and yet equally satisfied |\
that the principles of our lOinmou religion will he 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 piety and reflnemetit, de
vote tneir entire time to the supervision ot the expen
se-*. the morals, habits and health of the Boarding Pu
pil!*.
uuardians and parents, who for any cause, may be
seeking a permanent educational home for little girls,
we think, find such a home in the Academv. Apply to

“Send an officer and from 40 to 50 men to
repair to St. Louis, Mo., for tlie protection of

The pleasant story of the elegant villa and
well-planted garden which the kindness of Vic
tor Emanuel was said to have called into being,
io greet the eyes of Garibaldi on his return to
his rocky islet of Caprera, is declared by one
of tbe Liberator’s recent, guests to be an utter
invention. The General’s house is in fact, a
badly const meted cottage, with paved floors,
rough walls and leaky roof, and boasts no fur
niture better than deal tables, iron bedsteads
and ricketty chairs.

for Fort Sumter early this morning. The tenor
of his instructions for Major Anderson has not

say, to hold Fort Sumter at all hazards, if he
can.
