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. II urfi', a 1 lpQiiUtmiMiAT »i. - ^ 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 mail is about to close, aud so must I. Your-, C.

The Secretary of &*ate, Mr. Black, has inform ed Lord Lyons, the British Minister, that no 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 i parties paying them may be held responsible to |the Government.

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. upon . |. ■■■■■ shape their action as to cufiform to, and to c<> operate witl^that of the proposed Congress at Allaiua ou jMe iXkh day of the same inpiuh.- ' Sec.

Sec. 9th. Be it further ordained, dc.. That this Convention will adjourn to meet again on the twenty-fifth day of February next, to take such action in the premises as may be required by the proceedings of the Congress at Atlanta, and the developments of intervening events, kee]>- ing steadfastly in view, the rights, equality and safety of Georgia, and her unalterable determi nation to maintain them at all hazards, aud to the last, extremity.

Mr. Martin, of Lvmpkin, moved an amend ment to submit the Ordinance to a vote of the people for ratification, which after some con versational debate, was withdrawn, with the understanding that it may be hereafter intro duced as an independent proposition. "Mr. Simmons, of Gwinnett, moved to amend the Ordinance, so as to make the same opera tive on the third of March next.

The yeas were 208, and nays 89, being a ma jority of 119 for the adoption of the Ordinance. - 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.

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.

From Washington. ■Washington, January 21.—Numerous applications continue to be made by Postma«ters in the seceded States f r supplies ot postage stamps. Before the or ders are filled an affirmative response is required to the question, whether or not they do now and will continue to hold themselves responsible to the Federal Govern, ment, in conformity to existing laws, for all po.-tal rev enues received by them. Orders accordingly have been issued to the Postmasters after the manner adopt ed with regard to the Postmaster at Charleston. Thus far the postal communication in the South is uninter rupted.

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 !

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. Prentice tim ks the only grecn-norn to be tolerated is a mint-julep.

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.
