3A^ A-ITST IxT .AZE3I. WRDNESDA.Y MOllN'INU, JAN. 23, 1S61. (Tiie Georgia Convention. T&ourIi but tittle was done in the Convention 0:1 Monday, besides signing the Ordinance—a matter of form, so far as the consideration oi mere Authenticity is concerned, but vastly sig- niii ant in another respect—the letter of our correspondent contains much that will be read with interest. It appears that but live of the three hundred members of the Convention de cline to affix their signatures on the day u unej, and our correspondent regards it as certain that the nj^me of every member will be attm.luid to it in the course of u few days. We earnestly hope such \vftl be the result, and have no misgivings when we urge it as a patriotic duty-on every .Co-operationist in the Conven tion, Considering tbo differences of opin*on among the delegates—that uearly one-hall were oppost d to immediate and decided action at tiie pres< nt time—the conduct ofietli'-lminprity stands forth -a magnificent moral spectacle, that must com mand the admiratiou of every friend of popular government throughout the world. It is an offering upon the altar of Popular Supremacy that should bring lasting honor upon the names of those who set aside their own convictions and -ignored themselves in obedience to the wil < f th people, and that practically but one mind ad i; heart-liould reign-throughout our bur- of thia_Convcntion on the passage of the Urdi- . lK , CK 1 ' ' :i r iei>: flu what contrast does this noble self nance of Secession, indicates a difference ol e ;i <r -,| lt . n i fVi, acfiuce stand With tiie course of a few—a very opinion amongst the members oi the C -nvcn- uVi.H- worth a Vti't u- in saerthee few, we hope—who proclaimed their linn re solve never to submit to the popular will unless ' it should agree with their owu—that majorities had no binding power upon freemen, and that minorities have the right to subvert the popular - judgment when they have the nerve and the power to do it! The noble and gallant Ilill, whose eloquence moved tiie Convention to tears, wua the first to offer this tribute to the popular voice oi his State. The very moment he found it asserted beyond controversy, in opposition to liis own views and opinions, he declared that no obsta cle should be thrown by him in the path the State had marked out for herself, and that ii .■ able to prevent it, division and discord should be banished from the borders of Georgia. lie voted for the Ordinarce against which his clarion voice - had been raised with a power hardly his own, and called upon his friends to join him in this act of devotion to the people’s will, and then stand by our noble State in the position she had taken. Many followed ni> pa triotic lead, and that act has done more to unite the people of Georgia, of all parties, than all other causes combined. All honor to the man who had the courage and patriotism to per form it ! The resolution of Mr. Varnadoc, lo confer upon officers who resign their places in the U. &. army and navy, tlio same rank and pay ,in the service of the State, is eminently proper, and notwithstanding their offices may be sine cures for a time, we hope the Convention will give a favorable consideration to the measure. LrvcoLN’s Gcaud.—We observe that a con siderable military force has bien organized at the north to secure a peaceful inauguration of Mr. Lincoln, and that the Illinois Zouaves have volunteered to escort the distinguished func tionary elect to the City of Washington. For ourselves, we apprehend tlmt all this pa rade will be useless trouble and expense. Lin coln is likely to be inaugurated only as the Pres ident of the country which elected him, and on the principle that the people should elect their own rulers, we can Bee no particular reason, if the Northern Republic hare taken a fancy to J-ancoIn, why they should not be allowed Tb > inaugurate him and live under his government Until the crack of doom, should he survive till that eventful day. Non-interference with other people’s affairs has always been the true re publican motto, and as we of th»*. Southern Re public are not likely to have any share or lot in Lincoln’s government, it is a matter of no prac tical coucern to us whether he is inaugurated or not. All that we ask of him is that he will + act justly and honestly in conducting the for eign relations of his government. Should Maryland conclude to join her southern sisters in repudiating him, which is more thau possi ble, we shall have to ask of him the additional favor that he erect his throne in his own coun try and not in ours. \gr. The weather in this particular locality, for a week past, has attained to a climax of the horrible. Rain, cold winds, and sloppy streets have been tiie regular order for a succession of days. A Good Appointment.—Col. Edwafd C. Anderson, of this city, we arc credibly inform cd, has been appointed Ordnance Officer in Chief of the State. His systematic mind, superior military information and fine execu tive qualifications render the appoinmeut one eminently fit to he made. Lola Montez.—This remarkable worn: n, whose life was so full of singular romance and adventure/died, near New York, ou thelTth instant, after a long Illness of paralysis. Some remarks upon her eventful history, taken from the N. Y Post, are omitted for want of room. Resignation.—We are informed by Captain W. D. Smith, of the Second Regiment U. S. Dragoons, that he has forwarded his resignation t > the President of the United States. Captain Smith is a Georgian—a native of Augusta, we •v*s—and .took this step-lU\»mpr!y upon the f : secession of hi* State from the Union. The Pensacola Post office.—This office was discontinued by the Government of the United Slates, it is said, because the mailed orders from Wpdiingtbn were stopped there. It is presumed they related to military move men is in the Gulf. M sj. Anderson and the Charlestonians.— It was announced, some days ago, by telegraph, that the Governor of South Carolina had issued orders allowing Major Anderson to send t«> Charleston for the purchase, of supplies for him sell and men at Fort Sumter. The Charleston ians, it seems, were incensed by this liberal act on the part of the Governor, and protested against the privilege. The Morning Xem of yesterday has the following despatch in relation to rue result: Charleston, Jan. 21.—In consequence of the clamor raised by the citizens of Charleston with Governor Pickens, for supplying Fort Sumter w.lo provisions. Major Auderson to-day sent biek the marketing he had received, saying that itis muu should uot be pensioners ou the Charlestonians. Georgia St. te ConveoS!:?. Liverpool.

The Charleston Courier's Washington corres pondence gives a fuller account ot au event re ported in our telegraphic column yesterday : Messrs. Yuleeand Mallory, of Florida, Clay aid Fitzpatrick, ot Alabama, and Davis, i f Mississippi, addressed the Senate to-day, ex plaining the action of their States and taking final leave of that body. The speeches were very brief, except that of Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, who spoke at Ooi siderable length in an impressive and feclin, Strain of elopience. An immen-e crowd assembled to witness the ceremony, and wheu the Senators, at the con clusion of their remarks, left their desks, and formally withdrew from the Senate Chamber, where they had sat for years, every one seemed to realize that a great calamity had befallen the country. Each face was solemn and sad, and many were, aff -cted to tears. u following from Lion, not so much as to the rights which Gc claims,or the wrongs of which she com plains,-a- to the remedy,and its application, bet ore a re-ort to other means of redress; and, whereas, it L- desirable to give expression to that intention which really exists among all the members ol tills convention to sustain the State in the course of a lion which she 1ms pronounced to be proper for the occasion. Therefore, Resolved, That all members of this Conven tion, including those who voted again.-1 tin said ordinance, as well us those who voted for t, be requested to sign the same a* a pledge o me unanimous determination of this Conveu Lion to sustain ana defend the State in this her hosen remedy, with all its responsibilities ana consequences, without regard to individual ap proval or disapproval of its adoption. Mr. Jackson, of Whitfield,moved to strike out the words “be requested.” Some one sug- ;csted, and insert “be invited.” The words “be suggested,” went stricken out, and “will sign,” were inserted. Upon a suspension of the rules, ihc resolution, as amended, was taken up and adopted with but two dissenting voices. This resolution was advocated in a lew re marks by Judge N is bet, Judge Bonning, Mr. Poe, Mr. Kenan, Gov. Johnson, Judge Linton Stephens, Mr. Stapleton and Judge Warner.— Gov. John-on said, “lor o a*, he was willing to sign it without this invitation, but r.ow hi would sign it with double cm erlultiess.” several of tiie eo-operation leaders took oc casion to give their reasons for signing the Ordinance. These gentlemen spoke while Judge Nisbet’s resolutions were up for eon- ideration. Judge Liuton Stephens said : The passage of these resolutions would measurably relieve him ;rom his objections to signing the Ordinance. He preferred.a different course‘to that proposed by the Ordinance, but if these resolutions were agreed to. he t-liould r-ign it. For the sake of « /annuity, harmony, and con ciliation, lie would do so—lor “sink or swin , live or die. survive or perish,” he was with lira native Georgia. Judge Warner, of Merriwethcr, said he "had done Wliat he could to give a different direction to the action of this Convention. He had not changed his views; Georgia had taken hei’ posi tion, and he would be the last son of hers to abandon it. Other gentlemen gave their views, reasons, Ac., but from my position in the gallery, I could not distinctly hear. Shropshire, of Floyd, moved to appoii t a Commit tee"')H5 tb‘p rc pa re an address to the Government of the U. S. A. (Withdrawn for the present.) Mr. S. also moved to appoint a Committee to draft an Ordinance, to reduce the number of mcu.bers in the General Assembly of Georgia. (Lies over under tiie rule.-.) Mr. Cobb, of Clark, moved that the Com mittee on foreign affairs, (till n appointed) be requested to nominate two Commissioners to represent the State in the Conventions of Texas and Louisiana. (Taken up and adopted.) Mr. Martin, .of Lumpkin, moved to submit the action of this Convention to the people for ratification on the 20th February next.— (Taken up and not ign-ed to.) Gov. Brown, together with the President of the Senate, Speaker of the House of Represen tatives, and the judges of the Superior Courts, who were in attendance came in, the Conven tion rising to receive them, and the signing of the Ordinance of Secession, commenced. The signing was “clone generally with .native Southern quills, which wo noticed many incm- bei? carefully pocketing—they wish, no douhr, to preserve them as a legacy for their chil dren. This occupied just four hours; ail but five of the delegates signed it. I heard one of them say, he woul 1 .-gn it io-murrmv, others will also do so, in a day or two—the unanimous signing ot the ordinance i&a err ■< •••.-. There is an authorative official rumor here, that a well known gentleman, of I.umkin coun ty’, intends to hold the mint at Dahlouega for the General Government. The Governor has been requested to send troops to prevent this gentleman carrying this determination into ex ecution. The Governor declines to send troops or to ca 1 out the militia. The Convention will, no doubt, in a day or so, pass an ordinance, defining treason, and then our ultra Union men “had betj^r stand from under.” it is also reported here,' on undoubted author ity,that the reception of the news of the passage of the Ordinance of Secession was greeted in Pickens county by throwing to the breeze the “Star-spangled Banner.” AH such demonstra tions now are im rudcnl, to say the least ol them, and but illy calculated to promote har mony in the State and the south. The act is do . — he v n.iet rendered—the papers made out, - : .ii a sealed and delivered—and however much we may have heretofore differed, all good citizens wijl acquiesce in the necessity for har mony and unanimity among ourselves. As Georgians, we are. ail bound to respect her solemn voice, expressed this day; and come peace or war—weal or woe—independence or subjugatiou—which latter may God lorbid!— let us as brothers share the fate of our glorious old Mother—let us weep when she weeps, and rejoice when she triumphs. At 4 o’clock the firing of cannon announced the conclusion of the signing. I sec placards about the city, giving notice of a torch light procession to night, a general illumination and other demonstrations of rc- juicing. Yotirs, G. Position or Kentucky.—During the late debate in the Senate, on the nomination of Mr. Ilolt to the po-t of Secretary of War, Mr. Crit tenden is said to haw. taken the ground that a- Kenlucky is a cent nil State, enjoying all the prosperity consequent upon the present Union and form of government, she would never con- sent to its breaking up and the formation of a Southern Confederacy, of which she would b«* a border State, exposed to all the dangers and losses of such a position. • p trar of .Manchester, considering that we had to deal with, by far, the largest emp on record. 1 pars by the question of Banking accommodation in Liverpool, whicheverybody know.* is miserable enough, r laid can only remark that in the absence^?*! ihq politi cal and financial e/isD, prices have tCca regulated *to!e y by Ibe'avs of supply an demand. The first months of the season were in every way favorable to importers, estimates ranged from 4 to 4% minima of bales, and a rapid decline in stock, and an advance iu prices here induced importers and spinners to tend out unlimited order? to the Uni ed States. Up t> the middle of January the result of.these im- porls wa- quite rails factory. Estimates were raised by February to 4 ", and some went even h gher; the im port into Liverpool began, at the same time, to assume gigantic proportions, and a decline set iu of a most de termined character, which did not find bottom until the month of July, and, perffaps, it is a wonder that it found bottom then. Ab »ut »bo business of these five months, the least said the better, iQr verily,the cotton was abomimilly managed. • "1 he stock of cotton ranched Us maximum on the 8th d.*-8-,0WMd.-s, aa amount kr capacities of this port, ink lo remark that f.»r very indifferent storage room, as much as '2\<, per bale per week was paid. The l »w prices currer.’ i-> the beginning of July a:- triteted the atu n ion ol speculators on both sides of the Atlantic. The quotations of June and July give i.o adequate idea o( the depression in low cotton; -‘not ba«|.” Cotton was purchased early in July at 2^d per lb, wirch, in a few weeks, cleared a hundred per cent, profit. Spinners took advantage of the decline, ami adapted tneir machinery to the use of the inferior s *rts; a keen competion ensued almost to the e(elusion o* the better qualities, and we see the end and foily of ii to-day—that they are higher in proportion, and this is like y to lc id, in large crop.years to careless picking. The activity since July lias b en almo-t uuiu'.otrup ee!, and when interfered with, it has only been by ap prehended dangers in the money market. Middling Orleans, in Januarv ,was 6J^L, it dtclitud to a quotation of f>J£d., weak, and closes at the end of the year atTL'd., strong. Taking everything into consideration,perhaps theper- cen agrtof 1-w cot ion in this crap has not exceeded that ol former yt nr a. Importers have suffered severely, and the rapid ad , vance lias ul-u.esaved us fiom the tearful crash. I ti ink it can be fairly staud that all have loss •non y, though s > i.e have ma lc«mp!e amends since the n.oalhof July,by improving their average. The year’s consumption •fen*ton is estimated at 'J7,o*'0 bub soi all .s>rt*. including 163,000 consumed n the United States and not sent to the ports. This quantity is divided into S2,560 American, 9,140 aural and o,f»70 of other s -rts. Total 5,073,640. The d<- eli*cries :tr»- 5,31*,000 bales. The average in American was 10)^c., 6}£<L in Liver pool, and it *s found that die average price of Middling Orleans for 6 years lias been 7d. per lb. The total stock, as made up on the 31st Deronibt p proved 545,630 bales, against 441,710 la-t year. American was found to be overestimated by 12,00'' bales, whilst cu.ats were unde'estimated by about 3.).- 00 bales. It is c-: invited that consumers hold about 200,OOP bales. I should say this is over the mark. ’ 'i he prosper ity of the manufacturing interest has extended to ibe oo iimei.t, i'd during the year the development is be lieved to have been extraordinary. Liverpool has h i * a i self be the cheapest market in the long ran and the demands of foreign manufacturers have con! staidly t * on active; the total ex|s»ris of the year amount to 009,00.) bales,against 437,000 iu lS59,*mdS4?,- 00 in IS'-8. Luring the j ear, tlio principal feature in ihe export demand has beeu, that instead of confining itself to clean American regard «.ss of staple, it ha* taken an immense amount of rubbish, and thereby relieved Hus market Irani what might have proved an unbearable weight—this applies as well to Surat as to American, .until within the las*, few weeks have offer- d no encouragement to importers, and ihi- will also hold regaai^tlic growers. Seeds have paid them much better, and it is believed that unless prices here reach a high level immediately, much land will be di verted from the cultivation of cotton. In regard to the course of the Sea Island market, I think I cannot, do better than quote the remarks if Messrs. Stead Brothers, at length: •*3EA ISLANDS—For the first six months of the year there was a good demand for Sea Islands, and prices were main tained with remarkable steadiness. During the depress ion which prevailed in the general market in July an at ■ nipt was made to renew the custom of selling this class . 1 miplete a failure " >r some time :iin dbcourr »........ ... as certainly such as to discourage a repetition of these s ile-: and it is to ne poped will lead to the entire abandonment of a practice unsatisfactory alike both to the buyer and seller. The ef fect was precisely what might have been anticipated—an immediate break down in prices and for tbe next two months the sales made were generally at a decline of about 2d p ». In September a gradual improvement commenced —the common and medium qualities being the first to rally: these descriptions have since been most in demand, and are now dearer than at any time during the year; the better kinds have also fully regained previous concession. -The crop of 8ea Islands this year has been 46.a0i> bags, against 47.600 last, year; of this quantif' 1500 hags have been receiv ed from Fiorida. against 20.00" last year- The import into Liverpool we estimate .are ;:A4t<0 bags, against 33.500 last vf.tr, and into 14hisaow 2400 bags, against 1400 bist year. The export from Liverpool to the Continent we estimate at 150 > big*, against 2tDU list year. The stock in Liverpool to-day is 655*'i b igs. •■xa<-t!y the same as at the close of 1859. The consumption «>t t.re.n Britain we estimate at 34.150 bags, mainsi .'.5.150 in l*oS. or 656 bags per week against676 last year. The consumption of France and the Continent is estimated at 12.000 bags, against 14.(MI last year. The supply for the coming year promises to be abundant, the new crop, it is expected, will be 50,014) bags, the excess be ing in Florida: it is probable the consumption of (treat Britain will be larger next year, whilst on the Continent it may be less: the French Tariff, which comes into operation on the 1st June, admits Fine Yarn into France at an aver age duty of 10 per cent, and will lead to a considerable ex- poitof such yarn from this Country. The moderate range of prices which an ample supply s-cures will also be favor able to an extended consumption.” The prospects ol the year which has new opened,are of a very doubtlul character. The supply promises to fall infinitely short of the demand, and a repetition of 1S*>7 is a most inevitable, unless a high rate of interest checks the power to speculate. The demand for the raw material must increase with the large field opened in China, unlo:s short time is re sorted to in the event of high prices. s India was ov« r supplied in l&oS and 1359, and the shipments of I860 have proved immense failures. Since November these have been curtailed, and a happier state of things may be looked for shortly. The real lock has been caused by the dearness of food in India. Caution is observable among shippers to India, and th are turning their attention more particularly to -China. It is to China we have to lock for the prob ability or improbability of a resort to short time. But the immediate prospects of the market are, p rhaps, «>f m«»re importance. You may know more about them than wo do here. The advices from your side show every prospect o: planters holding back their crops until satisfactory prices an* established, and here we think we are on the eve of a alight money panic. The rate on Mouday j morning wa-* raised to over six per cent., owing to the withdrawals for America, and a rumor that the Bank of France were in treaty for a further quantity of coin, and refused to raise their rate. Our market to-day has been quiet owing to this, and in the* face ot the strongest advices yet to hand from yocr side. The advices from London show rather a better feel ing. but we are very sensitive, and in the cotton market we have a few anxious sellers. The fallowing are a few of the changes of the year: Consols have declined from 9&5o to 92#* French Rente* have declined from 69.20 to C3 35. The bank rate has l>eeu raised lrom 8 to C per cent. The ’• ullion in the bank has decreased from £16,469,- 824 to £12 793,119. The mail closes in half an hour, so, wishing a happy new year to those whom I do not know person ally. but with whom I have for some time held this heb ■ domadal intercourse, 1 remain, Yours very iaithfuily, Y. L S. Letter from Ex-President Tyler. The Richmond Enquirer, published a letter from Ex-President Tyler, containing a legal argument against coercion. In concluding, he says : it would, indeed, be a retrognde movement if any State should be constrained oy force to re main iu a Union which it abhorred. In this matter, oue might take a lesson from what is passing in the Old \Vorld. Italy alter the en thrallment of ages, is admitted to the ballot- oox, and hei Slates claim and exercise tiie privilege of selecting the condition ol their own future. And, while this is passing, and that, too, with the approbation of all Europe, we are to take a step backward into the dark ages, and carry into practice the exploded doc trine of absolutism in government. If we cannot live together, let us part iu peace. By doing so we shall at least save something of the old feeling. It is true, the South will be un der the necessity of adopting a rigid system or passports and police, which may prevent the perfect freedom of intercourse which, except iu notorious cases, now exists. But that is no more than other countries have to do, and is entirely protective in its character without being hostile. If necessary,*h treaty, offensive urnl defensive, may be formed, com mercial lavors and advantages may be received, •and much that now exists” may be preserved. Pursue a different course, and all may be lost. Strange indeed, that odious discriminations should be drawn between equals in a common concern. Such was my opinion iu 1820, iu the discussion on the Missouri question, and such will it ever remain. The talented editors of the “National Intelligencer” gave me an enviable position iu certain able articles, writ ten by them in the summer or fall of 1850. They -peak of me as being the only member of Con- _r«e®, at that day,'who, iu debate,* denied to ‘ 'ongress the right to prohibit slavery in the T rrilories. I stood there then, and I stand there now, nor as iu my early life alone in debute-but now in my age, sustained as I believe, by thecon- current opinions of a majority of the people of the United States, and leaning ou the decision of the Supreme Court as on a stall' which no rage of faction can weaken, no convulsion, however serious, can break. Could the able editors have Uecyphered the thoughts of my inmost heart, they would have found-me opposed to Congres sional interference in this behalf with the Ter ritories, for other reasons. Even passing over the impolicy of such interference, it was in its best view useless. God’s own law of climate had regulated the matter; -and let the children of earthly wisdom act as they may, it will still continue to do it." The man who would talk of cultivating the rice and cotton fields, and sugar ,'Ltutatloris of the South with free labor, do- nies to himself the light of observation and ex perience. Look to the West India HI unis—no part of the Globe makes a louder outcry for labor or offers higher wages than they do, and yet the tide of emigration from Europe sweeps by them in a vast current, which is arrested in i.- course only by a mure Northern and healthy clime. Asia and Africa have to be restored to f >r laborers, while the Caitca-iau oT Europe flees, as from a pestilence, the rays of a burning >u:i, and becomes the cultivator of the cereals, or turns herdsman amid the snows of the North. There is but one element that can change, and that but to a limited degree, this j law ol climate, and that is the price oi labor. 1 i need not, therefore, draw the picture of what j would be the condition ol the slave States, looking to the regular increase of tlie black j population iu forty >t-nr.-, under the edict lor- ; uaily announced by the leaders of the North-J era dominant party of “no more slave States j It cannot be contemplated by any Southern man Titli ab-o.ute composure. 1 will not despair of the good sense of my j •’ountryiucu. The lrape will linger with me i to the last, that there is enough of wisdom and pa;riotism among us to adjust these dilHcul- ries, although I frankly coiiiess my doubts and tears. Tue minority Suites can do but little more than suggest—the majority States hold in their hands the fate of the Union. I‘would,by no means,'"have Virginia to linger by the way- side. On the contrary, I would have hcM-rampt aud decisive iu her action—she c&nntA oe too prompt or decisive. Before her Convention can meet, full developments of one sort or the other will have been made, bite should place nerself in position—her destiny for good or tor .11, is with thi} Soutii. bhe was the flag-ship of the Revolution; and borrowing an expression .rum a recent production of one of her most gifted sons, she should have “spiiugs upon her cables and her broadside to.” If I may be permitted to make a suggestion, .t would be that the Legislature, without de lay, and without interference with its call of u Convention, might .naugurate a meeting of the •order Stales of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri, slave States; aud New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa,free States, through two Com missioners from each, to arrange, if possible, a programme of adjustment, to be submitted to ; he other.Slates as conclusive of the whole matter. Should they agree, I tliiuk their recommen dation would be followed by the other States, and incorporated into the Constitution and placed on the footing of an unalterable com pact. Surely no States can be more deeply interested iu the work ol restoring the country to quiet and harmony. If they cat not agree, then it may' safely be concluded that the resto ration of peace and concord has become imp- s- sible. I would hare an early day appointed 'or the meeting of the Commissioners; so that Virginia, when she holds her Convention, may be in full possession ol the result. Even if a failure to agree should occur, I would still have tiie Southern States, as a dernier resort, upon assembling in Convention, and having incorporated iu the present Consti tution guarantees going not one iota beyond what strict justice and the security of the South requires, nuopttlie Constitution of the United States as it now is, and give a broad invitation to the other States to cuter our Union with th** old flag filing over ouo and ail. When this is done, I w'ould say, in conclusion, to all my countrymen, rally back to the Constitution, thus invigorated and strengthened : and let there, for all lime *.o come, be written on every heart, as a motto—that, under all circumstan ces and in every condition of tilings, there is but one post ot safety, and that is to stand by the Constitution.

Ryder, of tMlloway’s line of packets, plying between Boston and Charlestun, S. C., arrived at this port yesterday forenoon. This is the first ves sel which has reached here with clearance papers from the newly constituted revenue authorities of lira State, and the papers offered by Capt. Ryder for rhe entry of his vessel at the Custom- House are curiosities in their way. The manifest is in the form usually given for clearances to a lorciffii port. The bill of health is in the usual United States form, with thy caption, “The Uuited States of Amtr.ca,” crossed out with a pen, and the words, ‘‘Dis trict of the Port cf Charleston, South Carolina,” printed in the margin. After “the Both year of the,” the words “Independence of tbe United Slates of America” are crossed out, and below is written, “Sovereignty and Independence of the State of South Carolina.” The Secession ists thus claiming au iudependency co-existent with that of the Union from which they have se ceded. The clearance paper has undergone the same erasures and interlineations. They were signed by W. F. Colcock, Collector, and John Lawrence, Naval Officer. The Custom House officers not having beeu notified that South Carolina was out of the Union, refused to enter the vessel under the bogus papers, and sa Cnpt. Ryder sails under a coastwise license, it was not regarded as neces sary that he should have cleared at all from Charleston.—Boston Journal A Strongly Fortified City.—Gaeta is eo well fortified a place, both by nature and art, that tho- gli the Piedmontese troops amount to over 80,000, whil-t the garrison does not proba bly contain more than one-third this number it is supposed that it will not be reduced for some months, particularly as the Powers will not recognise a blockade from the sea. There are plenty ot provision* there, and the King’s soldiery, which at first seemed fleeing from him, now vie with each other in defending this hist stronghold. It should be recollected that when Joseph Bonaparte besieged Gaeta in 1806, he was not aide to reduce it lor more than six months. It has been since then rendered much stronger. The position taken by the PiedmoAtese on the SUt ultimo, after crossing the Garigliano, may have misled the reader, as the m-rle ofGu ta is a small town six miles northwest from the for:iflcd portion of Gaeta.
