ORNING, JANUARY 83. lSCl!
TIte Duty of Georgia a*.
It has alreaiy been anuujuiccd to oar rtiad ers
that theXonventlon now ie season at the capi
tal, aud representing the sovereignly of the
people of Georgia, has declared that this State
is no longer a member of the American con
federacy ltnowa sis the United States. The con
nection was formally dissolved on Saturday,
January 19th,inst., from which date the citizens
of Georgia were discharged from all poli
tical allegiance, except that which is due to the
authorities and laws ot their own State. This
a lugitirtate proceeding, decisive as it is
in dWcdying relations that have so long shlv-t-t.
ed and, until Recently, been cherished hj our
people. It is a £»olitical axiom, the very foun
dation stone of our free, institutions, that when
government fails to answer the ends for which
it was intended, viz: -to afford protection to the
rights of the citizens, it is the right, nay the
duty, of the people: to alter or abolish it. This
great inherent prerogative has been exercised
by the people of Georgia, and our Suite staads
to-day among- the independent nations of the
earth.
This new state of affairs involves important
lessons to be learned and vital duties to be per
formed. Iud.vidoul opinions, predilections,
.and pr. judicc* i. ust Imparted with at once.—
Georgia has d( her solemn will, and the
timc fdr arguumul hasimse«K
duTV of -.very citizen to heed bat art
accord a prompt obedienpe to her every behest:
h ft hard to forget the past,with Its glorious as-
-ociat'ons, but having once put our hands to the
plow, let none look tack or waver in his devo
tion to JiU country as it stands. It is no time
for caviling, croaking or hesitation. Our btnte
hns elected the. course t>f her destiny lor tlic
future, and it behooves every patriotic son to
rally arouud her and help to work out that des
tiny to her greatest glory and honor.
We need hardly say that in her present and
future struggles, we shall stand by her in every
circumstance of weal aud woe that awaits her.
To ilio extent of our humble ability and in
fluence, we shall, with a filial fondness that
knows no abatement, seek lo steer her sn.cly
past every treacherous rock that may underlie
her track or loom up above the surface to dis
pute her onward career. We iuvokc the Wise
and good among her sons to rally to h er aid.
Let them be seen on deck manning the smls
and with a lirm grasp upon the helm, and not
Inglorlously asleep in the hold. Just here the
people have an important duty to perform it
is theirs to select the crew of the good old ship.
Let them recollect that while bold and daring
spirits may rescue her from the grasp of pirates,
it is only the skillful mariner, with liis cool head
and watchful eye, that can steer her safely
t hrough an unknown sea.
Finally, and above all, let us forget the con
flicts and discord of the past, and, while we are
embarked in one common bottom, unite hand
In hand and heart heating With heart, to
forward to a glorious consummation a common
cause. ‘
Vessel* of War lor Georgia.
The N. Y. Tribune learns that the steamship
State of Oeori/ia, belonging to the Savannah and
Pniladelphia line, wljich arrived in the former
city lust week, is intended lor a war steamer
for the State ot Georgia, aud was eent to that
port to be strengthened for that purpose.
We are inclined to the opinion that the steam
er in question was taken off her regular route
on account of the unusually large quantity of
freight that had collected at this point lor the
city of New Turk, and to aid in forwarding it
to its rbwilnunoo. Wt % hope, however, that the
information of the Tribune is correct. Armed
cruisers is what Georgia most needs at the pres
ent time. A comparatively small force is ade
quate for the protection of th-;. forts and Qthe£_
localities most likely to be assailed. It i3 our
line of «oast, so sparsely settled by whites, that
invites aggression, and should it be attempted,
it will inevitably be done by marauding parties
from the high seas. We have more to. iear
from this source than from all others eouibined,
and it is clearly* the duty of the State to, arm
well the low country, and especially the sea
board counties, aud iu addition, provide, at the
earliest day possible,such cruisers of both heavy
ami light draft, as will effectually guard the
coast and inlets. Two well armed steamships,
and a few gun-boats will be ample for the pui-
pose, for we apprehend no regularly organized
naval attack from the United States or any
other Government.
Our Convention cannot too early give its at
tention to this sulyeet r and if the Governor
has actually inaugurated a project looking to
that particular defense, as the Tribune seems to
Suppose, we have only to say that he has
exercised a wise forecast and should be prompt
ly sustained and aided.
The oston story about the sloop-of-war
Macedonian being despatched “South,” under
sealed orders, is all imagination. The Mace
donian was more thiyn six weeks ago ordered to
the Gulf Squadron, and she is only obeviuj
that order.
Tnu Flag of South Carolina.—The
Charleston Courier of yesterday says: *‘Th-
• Joint Committee of both Houses of the Legis
lature, on Saturday night, made choice of a
flag or ensign suitable to be borne by South
"Carolina. The Committee will report the rc-
• suit of their labors to-doy. The flagf chosen
wULeeusist of a plain white ground, with green
Palmetto tree iipthe centre, and a white cres
cent in the left upper corntr| on a square blue
field.”
Naval Appointment.—The rank aud office
of Captain in the navy of South Carolina, have
been conferred on James II. North, late Lieu
tenant in the U. S. Navy, and honorably dis
tinguished for edicient services.
Tiie First Secessionist.—The first disunion
speech ever made n the United States House
of Representatives was by Josiah Quincy,
Massachusetts, in regard to the Louisiana
enabling act, January 14, lSil. He said •
“I am compelled to declare it as my deliber
ate opinion that if this bill passes, the bonds of
this Union ar8 virtually dissolved; that the
States which compose it are free from their
moral obligations, arfd that as it will be the rujht
of all, so it will be the duty of some to prepare defi
nite! y for a separation—amicably if they can, tio-
lentlyifthey must."
How Troops are Moved.—The following
paragraph from the Baltimore Sun, shows how
rapidly troops may be moved from one part of
the country to another:
“The three companies of the light artillery
battalion from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas Terri-
tory, ordered from that place by Lieut./Gen.
Scott, to Fort MeHenrv, Baltimore and Wash
ington, D. C., reached this city on S. turday
evening, over the Northern Central Railroad,
performing the entire journey of. more titan
1500 miles in less than six days, and bringing
through with them their faff complement of
horses and 'equipments, without accident or
serious detention. The horses, 121 in number,
were contracted through to this city at S20 per
head, making an <3MnJ e ,
Georgia St.te Convention.
FOURTH DAY. ,
[Reported for the. Savannah Republican.]
Milledgeville, Ga., Jan. 19,1801.
Dear Republican :
The Convention sat to-day with closed dboia,
excluding all persons except members and offi
cers. Their object, though, was to preserve or
der, - and not to conduct their proceedings in
secret. The excitement of- the outsiders is so
great that it is impossible to restrain the gal
leries from demonstrations, of applause,' <fce.,
which greatly disturb the progress of the pro
ceedings below'.
I am enabled,Jiowever, to present your read
ers with the following report of the clay’s pro
ceedings, which may be relied on as authentic :
The Convention met pursuant' to adjourn
ment*, Prayer by Rev. H. A. Adams, of I he M.
E. Church.
Mr. Clark, of Dougherty, moved to recon
sider the regulation as to holding sessions with
closed doors. Motion lost.
Mr. Vamadoe, of Liberty, moved to allow
editors and reporters seats in the gallery, which,
under the rule, lies over till Monday.
Mr. Martin’s resolution, (introduced yester
day) calling on the Governor for information
as to the popular vote of Georgia in the recent
election of Delegates to tliis Convention, was,
on motion of Air. Hood, of Randolph, post-
poned indefinitely.

10. Be it further ordained, Ac., that refrainin'
j from any formal demand on the non-slavehold
■ ing States which have passed them, of the re
peal of their personal liberty and other acts, in
| anywise militating against the rendition of fugi-
, live slaves, or fugitives from justice; yet the
• Suite of Georgia hereby announces her unalter-
j able determination not to remain permanently
iu confederation with those States, unless they
shall purge their statute bo6ks of ail such
acts.
Sec. 5th. Be it further ordained, dc., That if
between now and the time of final action upon
the question ot her continuance in the Union,
the General Government should attempt to
coerce any one of the States that have recently
withdrawn, or shall hereafter withc^jaw there
from, the State of Georgia will make common
cause with such States and hereby pledges all
her resources for their protection and de
fence.
Sec. Gth. Be it further ordained, dc., .That the
State of Georgia will continue to hold,until her
final decision iu the premises, the ppssession of
Fort Pulaski and all other Federal property
within her borders, which have been seized
under the direction and authority of his Excel
lency the Governor of this State*
Sec. 7th. Be it further ordained, dc., That a
commisftioner he appointed by this Convention
Lo each of the slave-holding States, now mem
bers of the Federal Union, to inform them of the
action of Georgia, and to urge their conformity
to the policy herein indicated, and that iu
response to the request of Alabama, this Con
vention will also appoint a commissioner to the
Convention which she has invited at Montgom
ery, on the 4th of February next, who is hereby
instructed to urge upon that Convention ->»o to
said Southern Convention, in the event it con
curs in the same, should consider and declare
the terms, and conditions upon which such
reconstruction may be had.
3. liesolved. That the President of this Con
vention cause a copy of these resolutions to be
forwarded to any Convention that may be held
by the siavchoiding States.
The Convention then adjourned to 10 o’clock.
A. M., on Monday next.
The public notice of the passage of the ordi
nance was greeted with firing of cannon, ring
ing of bells, and general excitement and joy.—
The bells have been ringing for four hours, and
the booming cannon is still heard as I write, at
7 o’clock,/!, in., and a fine band (Millcdgeville
S.Iver Band) is discoursing joyous music from
the dome of the State Capitol.
To-Higlit there is to be a grand torchlight pro
cession and display of firewbrlcs, music, Ac., by
the gallant and patriotic citizens of the seat of
overnment; iu fact, but a continuation of last
might’s demonstrations.
I understand the whole city’ is to be illumi
nated on Monday night next, after the ordi
nance is signed. These demonstrations are
headed by Dr. Samuel G. White, the defeated
Secession candidate in this county.

The Secretary of &*ate, Mr. Black, has inform

c i arances of vessels, ifsued by any other au
thority tli n the United States officials, will be
recognized by the Government, and that the
payment of duties on imports receipted for by
such officials, i. e., other than the United States,
, will be regarded as mispayments, for which tlu

tec of 17, reptfned the foilowin
Ordinance of Secession:
An Ordinance to dissoh-e the Union bet wen the
Siatc of Georgia, and other States united with
her, under a compact of Government, entitled
"The Constitution of the United States.”
IVe, the people of the State of Georgia, in
Convention assembled, do declare and ordain,
and it is hereby declared and ordaiued,
That the Ordinance adopted by the people of
the State of Georgia, in Convention on the 2nd
day of January, in the year of our Lord seven
teen hundred and eighty-eight, whereby the
Constitution of the United States of America
was assented to, ratified and adopted; ami also,
all acts and parts of act^ of the General Assem
bly of this State, ratifying* and adopting amend
ments of the said Constitution are hereby re
pealed, rcseiuded and abrogated.
We do further declare and ordain, that the
Union now subsisting between the State of
Georgia and other States, under the name of
“the United States of America,’’ is hereby dis-
s olved, and that the State of Georgia is in the
full possession and exercise of all those rights
of sovereignly which belong aud appertain to a
free aud independent State.
Mr. Hill, of Troup, offered as a subatitute
for the foregoing Ordinance, the followiug,—
being an exact copy of Ex-Gov. Johnson’s sub-
stituto-to the resolutions of Jlon. E. H. Nisbet
of yesterday:
governor Johnson’s resolutions.
The State of Georgia is attached to the Union
and desires to preserve it,if it can be done con
sistently with her rights and safety. But existing
circumstances admonish her of /lunger; that
danger arises from the assaults that are made
upon the institution of domestic slavery, and is
common to all the Southern States. From time
to time within the last forty years. Congress
has attempted to pass'laws in violation of our
rights, aud dangerous to out welfare and safety.
But they have been restrained by the united op
petition of the South and the true men of the
North, and thus far, the country h:*s prospered,
and the Sod*h has felt comparatively secure.—
Recently, however,events have assumed a more
threatening aspect: several of the non-*davehold-
tnj? States refuse to surrender fugitive slaves,
aud have passed laws the most oppressive, to
hinder, obstruct and prevent it, in palpable
violation of their constitutional obligations.—
The Executive Department of The Government
is about to pass into the hands of a sectional
political party’, pledged to principles and a poli
cy which we regard as repugnant to the Con
stitution. These considerations, of themselves,
^ .v-hinlL-cuuld. not :
fauio alarm a people jealous or their rights.—
By the regular course of events ihe South is in
a minority in the Federal Congress,, and the
future presents no hope of the restoration ol the
equilibrium hetweeu the sections in cither
House thereof. Hence the Southern States are
iu. imminent peril, being in the power of a
majority, reckless ol constitutional obligations,
and pledged to principles leadiug to our de
struction. This peril is greatly augmented by
the recent secession of South Carolina, Florida.
Vlabama and Mississippi, from the Union, by
which the Southern Slates are deprived of the
benefit of their co-operation, and left in a still
more helpless minority in the Federal Con
gress.
iherefore, whilst the State of Georgia will
not aud cannot,compatibly witl^her safety, abide
permanently iu the Union without new and
ample security, still she is not disposed to
sever her connection with it precipitately nor
without respectful consultation with her South
ern confederates. She invokes the aid of their
co-operation aud-counsel to secure our rights
iu the Uuion, if possible,or to protect them out
of the Union if uecessary.
Therefore, First, be it ordained by the Slate of
Georgia in Soveieiyn Convention assembled, That
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North
Carolina, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Ten
nessee and Missouri, be and they are hereby
respectfully invited to meet with this State by
delegates iu a Congress, at Atlanta, Georgia, on
thelfith day of February, 1801, to take into
consideration the whole'subject ot their rela
tions to the Federal Government, and to devise
such a eour.-e of action as their interest, equali
ty and safety may require.
See. 2d. Be it further ordained, Ac., That the
independent Republics of South Carolina,
Florida, Alabama^ and Mississippi, be and they
are hereby cordially invited to send commis
sioners to said Congress.
See. 3d. Be it farther ordained dc., That, inas
much as Georgia is resolved not to abide
permanently iii this Union without satis(ae-
cor}’ guarantees of future security, the follow
ing propositions are respectfully suggested lor
the consideration of her Southern Confederates
as the substance of what she regards indispen-
sible amendments to the Constitution of the
United States, to wit:
1st. That Congress shall have no power to
abolish or prohibit slavery in the Territories or
any place under their exclusive jurisdiction.
2d. Each State shall be bound to surrender
Fugitive Slaves,and if any fugitive slave shall be
(orcibly taken or enticed from the possession of
any officer legally charged therewith lor the
purpose of rendition, the United States shall
pay the owner the value of such slave and the
county in which such rescue or enticement may
occur, shall be liable to the U. States for the
r.mouut so paid, to be recovered by suit iu the
Federal Courts.
3rd. It shall be a penal offence, definable by
Congress, and punishable iu the Federal Courts
for any person to rescue or entice.or to encour
age, aid or assist others to rescue or eutice any
tugitive slave from any officer legally charged
with'the custody thereof, for the purpose of
rendition.
4. Whatever is recoguized as property by
the Constitution of the' United States shall be
held to be property in the Territories of the
United States, and*in all places over which
Congress has exclusive jurisdiction, all kinds of
property shall be entitled to like and equed
protection therein by the several departments
of the General Government.
5. New States formed out of territories now
belonging to the United States,or which may be
hereafter acquired, shall be admitted into the
Un s on with or without slavery, ns the people
thereof may determine at. the time of admis
sion.
6. Congress shall have no power to prohibit
or interfere with the slave trade between the
States nor k* citizens of the United
passing through or temporarily sojourn
ing in the District of Columbia, from having
with them their slaves and carrying them away,
but it shall be the duty of Congress to provide,
by law, for the punishment ot all persons who
mav interfere with this right, in the same way
as is provided for in the foregoing third propo
sition.
7. No Slate shall pass any law to prohibit the
citizens of auy other State travelling or tempo-
riril}- sojourning therein, from carrying their
slaves and other property with them; and it
shall be a penal offence, definable by Congress
and punishable by the Federal courts, for any
person to entice away <>r harbor, or tp attempt
to entice away or harbor, the slave or slaves of
<ueh citizen 60 travelling or temporarily so
journing-
8. The (Negationsto surrender fugitives from
justice, as pri'iyded *°r under the Constitution-
of the United SiHies, extends and shall be held
to extend, as well'Vj fugitives charged or con
nectedwiih offencesNjmmilted against slavery or
slave property, as to n*y other class of offences;
and for the purposes of this proposition, what
ever is defined to be a <giminnl offence in
one State, shall be deemed and held a criminal
offence in every other State.
9. The Supreme Court having <l*cided that
negroes are not citizens of the United States,
no person of African descent shall be permitted
to vote for Federal officers, nor to hold any
oifiee or appoiumeut uud»«x* the Government of
the United States.

versational debate, was withdrawn, with the
understanding that it may be hereafter intro

The yeas were 208, and nays 89, being a ma

- Previous to calling the ayes and nays, Mr.
tlill, of Troup, stated that a test vote having
been taken upon the substitute of Gov. John
son, for which he had voted, and it appearing
that the will of the State was in favor of imme
diate secession, he deprecated the conclnsion
arrived at; but being a true’and loyal son of the
State, he should acquiesce in her will and vote
for the Ordinance.
Judge Stephens, of Hancock, on the contra
ry, stated'that he was oppose ! to the immedi
ate withdrawal of the State from the Union,be-
cause he thought there was no sufficient cause
for it. lie should therefore nefthcr jjpte for the
Ordinance, nor sign it, if adopted. When the
will of the State had been authoritavely declared
he should abide by it, aud uphold it, faithfully
and firmly.
Other gentlemen gave their reasons for their
votes—all evincing their fir^| determination to
stand by the State through weal or woe.
With a view to* harmonize the action of the
Convention, a considerable number of gentle
men changed their votes,and stand upon the re
cord in favor of the Ordinance.
The vote was announced at precisely 25 min
utes past 2 o’clock P. M.
Judge Nisbet offered a resolution, which was
adopted, that this Ordinance be enrolled on
parchment, preparatory to its being signed by
the Delegates at 12 M., on Monday next, awl
that when signed, it be deposited in the ar
chives of the State. His resolution also invites
the Governor of the State, and the Supreme and
Superior Court Judges, and the Commission
ers from the Slates of Alabama and South Caro
lina, to be present at the signing.
Mr. Bartow, of Chatham, offered a resolution
which was adopted, that the revenue officers
and postmasters, ana other civil officers, exer
cising authority in the State of Georgia, under
commissions from the United States Govern
ment. shall continue to discharge their respec
tive offices till otherwise difectcd by this Con
vention.
Mr. Alexander, of Upson, offered the follow
ing resolutions, which lie over, under thc rule.
till Monday next :
1. Resolved, the sense of this Convention,
that the people of Georgia would be willing
that the Federal Union, now brokeu and dis
solved, should be reconstructed whenever the
same can be done on a basis that would secure,
permanently, and unequivocally, the full mea
sure of the rights aud equality of the slavehold
ing States.
2. Resolvtd, That we recommend to any con
vention, that may be held by the slaveholding
States, the con-ideratio'n of the policy in
dieated by the foregoing resolution, and that

certain resolutions of the Convention was trans

uirr. So*- 1 Executive Department, /
Milledgeville, Jan. 18, IStiO. )
To the Convention :
In response to the resolution delivered to me
by your Secretary on yesterday, I have the
honor to state that I have no official- informa
tion in my possession of a character not general
ly made public, which would iu my opinion,
facilitate the deliberations, and actions of the
Convention.
The original ordinance by which this State
ratified the Constitution of the United States
ban not, it seems, been preserved.
I find a printed copy of it, however, in a sup
plement in the Journal of me Federal Consti
tution, from which the copy is taken which is
herewith transmitted.
Tliough not strictly’ iu response to the call
made upon me, I take the liberty to lay before
the Convention an original letter from the Gov
ernor of the State of New York, accompanied
by certain joint resolutions passed by the Leg
islature of that State, on the 11th day of this
mouth, which was received at tliis Department
by the mail of yesterday.
Joseph E. Brown.
The resolutions adopted by the Legislature
of New York and alluded to in above message
of the Governor are as follows :
STATE OF NEW YORK, I
In Assembly, Jan. 11, 1SG1. )'
Whereas, Treason, as defined by the-Consti
tution of Lire United Stales exists in one or
more of the Slates of this Confederation, and
Whereas, The insurgent State of Soutii Caro-
lin,aafter r-eizing the postotlieus, custom-house,
moneys, and fortifications of the Federal Gov
ernment, has, by tiring into a vessel ordered by
the Government to carry troops and provisions
to Fort Sumter, virtually declared war :
And, wliereas, the torts and property of the
United Slates Government in Georgia, Alabama
and Louisiana have been unlawfully seized with
hostile intentions: v
And, whereas, further, Senators in Congress
avow and maintain their irca.-ouable acts; there
fore,
Resolved, (if the Senate concur,) That the Leg
islature of New York, protoundly impressed
with the value of the Union, and determined to
preserve it unimpaired, hail with joy the recent
linn, dignified, and patriotic special message of
the President of the (Juited States, and that we
tender to him, through the chief magistrate of
our own Slate,whatever aid, in men aud money,
he may require to enable him to enforce the
laws and uphold the authority of the Federal
Government. And that iu defence of “the
nore perfect Union,” which has conferred pros
perity and happiness upon tlie American peo
pie, renewing the pledges given aud redeemed
by our fathers, we are ready to devote “our
fortunes, our lives, and our sacred honor” in
upholding the Union and the Constitution. '
Resolved, (if the Senate concur,) That the
Union-loving representatives of Delaware,Mary
land, Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, Mis
souri and Tennessee, who labored with devoted
courage and patrioti.-ai to withhold their States .
from the voitex of secession, arc entitled to
the gratitude and admiration of the whole'
pebple.
Resolved, (if the Senate concur,) that the Gov-
rnor be respectfully requested to forward,forth
with, copies of the foregoing resolutions to the
President of the Nation and the Governor of
the States of the Union.
The proceeding, preamble and resolutions
were duly passed.
By order, A. A. Risley, Clerk.
In the Senate Jan. 11, 1S61, the proceeding
preamble and resolution were duly passed.
By order, James Tebwilliger, Clerk.
The above resolutions were adopted by the
New York Legislature and sent to Gov. Brown,
by Gov. Edward D. Morgan,of New York.
On the reading of the message and the accom
panying resolutions, Mr. Toombs of Wilkes,
offered the folllowing resolution, which was
adopted without a dissenting vote.
Rrsok'cd, Unanimously, I”, response to the
resolutions of New York referred to in the Gov
ernor’s message, that this Convention highly
approves the energetic and patriotic conduct of
Governor Brown in taking possession of Fort
Pulaski, by Georgia troops, and request him to
bold possession until the relations of Georgia
with the Federal Government be determined by
this Convention, and that a copy of this reso-
ition be transmitted to the Governor of New
York.

■Washington, January 21.—Numerous applications

A Scene of Love.
Two young lovers standing on the hank of
a clear river in the shade of beeches and elms
baskinc: in the summer’s sun.
Henry.—Nay! my dearest Mary, my flowery
font of love, do not deny me tliis, the hist time,
I can ever beseech thee. Say thou wilt be
mine, and thou wilt thus have created, in a
moment, more happLviss for my soul than all
the sweet fairies enjoy in their fairest realms of
enchantment.
M&.KY.—Canst thou be wise, Henry, and thou
seek .my hand, when I have told thee more
times than there are rocks in this pure stream,
that I do not—nav, cannot love thee? Be not,
Ilenry, so foolish as to wish to wed a maiden
who loves thee not.
Henry.—Be wise! How can I be wiser tlian
to love thee! Oh ! Mary, thy heart must be as
hard as adamant cemented together by the
accumulated weight of all the rocks of the An-
ies! else my love for thee would melt into
liquid sympathy thy heart and force thee not to
niter again that withering phrase, ‘I cannot love
thee!”
Mary.—Dost thou indeed love me so much,
Henry ?
Henry.—Love thee so mucli ! Aye, ten thou
sand times more ! What will prove it to thee ?
Test me as thou wilt. Bid me leap over the
loft}’ falls of the thundering Niagara, or fling
across the ocean the mighty Mississippi river
with all its branching streams and freighted
boats, and by the high heavens the attempt
shall be made.
Mary.—Nay, Ilenry, I shall demand of thee a
different task.
Henry.—O, name it! say quick if thou de-
lightest in sincerity that I may perform it soon
er than the lightning can flash ! Speak ! speak !
my dearest love, and it is done.
Mary.—Carry me to the parson’s !

Seizure of Northern* Fishing Vessels in
Florida Waters.—Considerable excitement
has been occasioned at Mystic, Conn., by’ a re
port that the schooner B. Fowler, captain J.
Eldredge, aud the schooner Osceola, captain
R. Burrows, bot>. of this port, now on a fishing
trip off the Florida coast, have been seized and
confiscated by the State of Florida, providing
heavy penalties against any persons, not citi
zens of that State, engaged in certain kinds of
fishing within nine miles of the coast. The law
has been for many years a (lead k-tUr, and has
only recently been attempted to be enforced.—
Capt. Eldredge has beeu imprki ned, lint re
leased on bail. The schooner Christiana, capt.
Wilcox, of Noank, was at sea at the last ac
counts, but expected to arrive soon, when she
was te be seized by the same authoi ity.
Transportation of Cotton.—t hirty thou
sand bales of cotton, says the Boston Journal,
passed through Worcester last week, on its way
to Lowell and Lawrence, most of which came
from Memphis, by railroad. The Grand Trunk
Company are making extensive arrangements
for the transhipment ol cotton direct from the
Mississippi to the East. The Michigan Central
Road is doing an immense business in connec
tion with the Illinois Central-in the transporta
tion of products'sfrom Kentucky, Tennessee
and Missouri.
Pretty Good.—The Hon. James McQuadc,
of Utica, snys of Lincoln’s Cabinet: “One
thing is settled—Greeley is to go into the Cabi
net. He is to be Secretary of the Exterior—his
principal duties, to watch the thermometer
and tell how cold it is out there,’’
Indians may be be considered the “copper
faced” type of mankind.
It is not the multitude of applause, "but the
good sense of the applauders, whichgives value
to reputation.

Nashville Female Academy*
FOUNDED 181G.
V FTER a rest of six months, on the 19th of Janua
ry, 1861, I resume my 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 suitablenea.s'for all school /dlOOsUS UU CCAtS DSf DflV
Unit.-d Stuti-sttrViy l««-
purposes, unequalled in the United Statesby’any
ojulu School ; and iheae surrounded by pavements and
corridor-, offering constant inducements to .children,
to breathe the fresh air, without regard to the weather.
8. Security from Fire. These buildings are heated
with steam and 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.i 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-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 common religion will be daily
inculcated.
C. 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
se*. the morals, habits and health of the Boarding Pa
pilla.
uuardians and parents, who for any cause, maybe
seeking a permanent educational borne for little girls,
we think, find such a home in the Academy. Apply to
