Surrender of the Augusta Arsenal. i Oor despatch announces the surrender of the Arsenal at Augusta by the commander of the S. troops, In response to a demand from the f Governor, backed by seven hundred State roops. The demand was made on Wednesday, Svln-n the commander asked to be allowed ’twelve hours for deliberation and, it is sup- <fp6*crt, to communicate with the authorities of 'Tii- government at Washington, which was allowed. Yesterday the demand was renewed and the Arsenal promptly surrendered. Thus every position held by the Federal Gov ernment within tlic limits of the State .of Geor gia, is now in the bauds of the local authorities, and blood shed in the change. Being no longer a number of the confederation, it is not to be expected that we would submit, otherwise than temporarily, to the occupancy of any por tion of our territory by the mil tary of a foreign iiiiTUnor, -miti* *ue bmtnu VOL.

JfcwmLL tat safety ami true policy, wtoile the State holds herself ready to account to the full amount of its value forall property thus taken into posses sion under the necessities of the time. No good can be accomplished by the Federal Government in continuing to hold her milita ry posts in the seceding States. It can not bring those States back into the Union, nor even 3 enforce the federal laws upon an unwilling people. Should they remain out permanently, the forts will he taken at every cost, and should peace he restored and the Union reformed, they wilPpromptly be remanded to their original Btatns, and, no doubt, in a mnch better condi tion than wc found them. f y' m:T PrLA^Kl—Fannj Sketches.—The Morn ing foies of yesterday contains a wood cut,of our river and fortifications below the city, which it accompanies with au editorial d 'crip- tion df the latter and their surroundings. On what authority the SiiM makes the statement that ail the guns at present in Fort Pulaski are “dismantled,” wo arc unable to say. We know, though, that every gun is in its position, well mounted and ready for service, and that all cf them have been used for practice. Its recom mendation, too, that “the ditches should be cleared oflhe mud accnmulaied throughout their whole extent, the bottom repaired, and file banks of the feeding canal rivetted,” is well calculated, with the above, to mislead the pub lic, as this very’ work has already been done. The concluding paragraph of the article, 6tating that the Fort has been pat “in a complete state ot defence,” contrasts very strangely with what wc have quoted. A Strong Delegation.—In our telegraphic columns, will be found a list of the delegates chosen by the Convention to represent the State of Georgia in the Montgomery Southern Convention, which has been called to organize a Provisional Federal Government for the seceded States. Wc doubt if any other State, even were all represented, is able to make so striking an exhibition of her intellectual power. May their patriotism and statesmanship prove equal to their abilities. Hon. Howell Cobb.—The impression seems to prevail at the North that this gentleman is a member of the Georgia Convention, and some of our exchanges go so far as to tell how near became to being beaten in the election ! For their information, we wou’.d state that Mr. Cobb is not a member, nor was he a candidate at the election. His county, (Clarke,) is represents In part, in tbc Convention, by Thomas R. R. Cobb, a brother to the Ex-Secretary. Harmonious.—‘The Mississippi ordinance of secession was signed by every member ot the Convention, except two, who were absent. Senator Iverson.—It appears that Senator Iverson did not withdraw with the Georgia Representatives on Tuesday, but has concluded to remain untii Mr. Toombs’ return, when they will both make a grand exit together. Commerce of Mobile.—The New Orleans Picayune learns that in consequence of the difficulty of shipping cotton at Mobile, the collector of the port having resigned his office, ho that there can be no clearances, large quan tities of the staple are being sent over to New Orleans daily by the mail boats for shipment at this port. It is now reported, says the Charleston Cour ier, that Col. Colt will sooa establish an arms factory in Georgia, in connection with Mark A. Cooper. [Special Despatch to the Charleston Courier.] Important from Washington. A Bill to Declare War—Collection of the Revenue— Postal Service—The Army and Navy to be placed on a War Footing, etc. ’ Washington, January 23. Mr. Collamer, of Vermont, in the Senate to day, introduced a bill in relation to the collec tion of the revenue in the seceding States. It provides that, whereas, in consequence of the legislation, Ordinances, or decrees of any States, it becomes, in the opinion of the President, im possible to collect the revenue from the duties on imports to the said States, by the ordinary officers and means, then the President is em powered to discontinue such ports of entry,and give due notice by proclamation. And when the cause or hindrance to the collection the revenue is removed, the President shall open said ports, and proclaim this fact to the world. Another section of the bill authorizes the Postmaster-General to discontinue postoflices and post routes in the secedt.jg States when in terfered with in any manner by the authorities of such States. Despatches appear in the New work papers to-day (sent from this city) statiag that the House Naval and Military Committees are pre paring bills looking to the placing of the Army and Navy on a war footing immediately. Mr. Iverson, of Georgia, did not withdraw to-day when the Georgia House delegation re tired, but iutimntcd that he awaits the return of Mr. Toombs, when they both will make formal speeches and retire. An informal canvass,made by the Republicans in the House and Senate, shows two-thirds op posed to all compromise. Therefore, the Re publicans voted down M. Crittenden’s compro mise resolutions. Mr. Crittenden said, to-day, that he despairs of saving the country; that all hope is goue. Thirty-six officers of the army and navy of the Federal Government have resigned up to date. They are ail from the seceding States. Effect of Secession in Europe. Washington, January 21.—Tetters from Frankfort inform the diplomatists here that trade and manufacturers in Germany arc suf fering from the civil commotion of the United States. Heretofore, when Europe was threat ened with civil war. they relied on our country, but in the present distracted condition or American affairs, it is found that serious effects are produced in ordinary channels ot commercial intercourse. Georgia State Convention. SEVENTH DAY. [Reported specially for the Savannah Republican.] Mii.ledgeville, Jan. 23, 1861. Dear Republican :—This is a gloomy day, rain incessant, -streets muddy and almost impassa ble to pedestrians. Dark and gloomy as out-of- doors is, it is by no means as dark as the gallery, where reporters, when admitted at all, are al lowed to sit. I cannot see why wc are denied admittance ; members say, Reporters art? de nied admittance to prevent annoyance, noise and confusion—now all know that reporters are the most noisless set of persons in all delib erative bodies, they have their business to at tend to, no matter what the noise and confu sion on the floor. The public must sooner or later know the action of the Convention, and any attempt at secret sessions will but result in a failure. Delegates, I understand, are com plaining at the meager reports in the news papers of the proceedings—how can it be other wise, when we are excluded by their own met this morning at Iff o’clock. After prayer by Rev. II. J. Adains, and the reading of the proceedings of yesterday ; the President named the committee of 1C, au thorized by a resolution adopted ou yesterday, for the purpose of reporting on the power of this Convention to reduce the number of mem bers in the State Legislature. Mr. Toombs, of Wilkes, made a report from the Committee on Foreign Relations, which was embodied in three resolutions. The Am was that this Convention, to-morrow, at noon, will elect ten members to tne Congress which meets at Montgomery on the 4th of February next. This resolution was subsequently amended by Mr. Ward, of Floyd, so as to select one mem ber from each congressional district and two from the State at large. The second resolution provides for instructions to the delegates, and the third resolution was an invitation to all the Southern slaveholding States to unite their counsels and co-operate in the Convention at Montgomery. The report, as amended, was adopted. Judge Warner, of Merriwcther, offered the following Ordinance, which he moved should be referred to the Committee on the Constitution of the Slate aud the Constitution of the United States: Be it ordained, bj T the People of Georgia, in Convention assembled, That the following words sbaH be added to the 5th section of the 4tli article of the Constitution of the State of Georgia, (to wit): “and tl t no law or ordi nance shall be passed, impairing the obliga tion of contracts, nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compen sation.” Le L further ordained, by the authority afore said, that the two following sections shall be added to the Constitution of the State of Geor gia, and become a part thereof (to wit): “FuU faith and credit shall be given in this State to Lhe public acts, records and judicial proceedings of any other State, heretofore known and re cognized as the United States of America, and shall be received in evidence in the courts in this State under the same rules aud regulations as provided by the acts of Congress of the late United States, passed the 26th day of May, 171K), and 27th March, 1S04.” Be it further ordained, by the authority afore said, that all judgments, sentences and de crees, heretofore made aud rendered by the Federal Courts within the State of Georgia, shall remain operative and in full force, as well us all laws heretofore enacted by the Federal Congress which may be beneficial and applica ble to the wants, interests and present condi- ion of the people of Georgia, until otherwise altered or repealed by the General Assembly of this State. Mr. Hill, of Troup, offered the following Or dinance: AN ORDINANCE, To continue in force the laws, and to preserve the order, pence aud convenience of the peo ple of Georgia, until otherwise provided. Whereas, the State of ~ from the Federal Union the act, and therelore desire the act, of scces sion to be peaceable, and said act shall be peaceable, unless otherwise ordered by the Federal Government. Therefore Be it ordained, by the people of Georgia, in j Convention assembled, and it is hereby ordain - i ed by the authority of the same: Sec. 1st. That until otherwise provided, all! America, in reference to the African slave trade. The people of Georgia, in Convention assem bled, hereby declare and ordain, that all the laws passed by the Congress oi the late United States of America, and in force in this State prior to the 19th day of January, 1861, in reference to the African slave trade, except the fifth section of the act of 10th May, 1800, be, and the same are hereby declared to be in full force in this State, and also so much of the act of 15th May. 1520, as declares the offence therein specified to be piracy ; and in lieu of the pen alty of death therein specified, there shall be substituted imprisonment in the Penitentiary for a term of years not less than five nor exceed ing twenty, in the discretion of the court: Provided the same shall not be construed to extend to the importation of negro slaves from any one of the slaveholding States of the late United States of America, or from either of the Independent Republics of South Carolina, Ala bama, Florida or Mississippi. Provided farther, the slaves so introduced from the sir veholding States of North America, shall not have been imported from beyond seas into such State since the 20th day of December, 1860. 11c it further ordained, and declared, that the Governor of Georgia shall discharge all the duties required by said laws of the President of the United States—and the Attorney or Solici tor General of the Judicial District where the case arises, shall discharge all the duties re quired oftlic District Attorney, and the Sheriff of the County all the duties required by the Marshal. Be it further ordained, that the State of Geor gia shall be substituted for the United States, in every portion of the said laws where the sub stitution is required by the present independent condition of the said State. s Not being present during the discussion on the above Ordinance, I am unprepared to give your readers a synopsis of the debate—being excluded by the rules, I am presumed to know nothing about it. From my position, I was nolens volens, compelled to hear much that was & UNTO. 21 CO IMZIKdllK] ZR/OI-A-Ij. SAVANNAH MARKET. Savannah, Friday, Jan. £5, 1S61. COTTON.—At the ciose of our last report, the mar ket was firm at the following quotations : middlings 31c., strict middlings ll#c., good middling ll#c. The transactions of the week were characterized by a good steady demand, and the sales restricted by the limited stock of offering cotton. Since then, prices have fallen off about J^c. under the influence of Northern and Gulf markets, a decline in those quarters having taken place. The receipts continue large, and the sales good, not withstanding limited offering stocks, and the extreme ly inclement weather which prev tiled throughout the week. We give the following as about a fair statement of quotations at which the market closes: quotations: .Middlings . —@ 10# Strict Middlings —<& 11 Good Middlings —©11#’ [Note.—It should be borne]in mind that the classifi cation to which oar quotations are intended to apply is an assimilation to that of Liverpool.

Mr. Cobb, from the Committee, reported the following: AN ORDINANCE, To resume jurisdiction over those places within the limits of Georgia, over which jurisdiction has been heretofore ceded to the late United Slates ot America,and to provide tor compen sation to the said United States for the im provements erected thereon. The people of Georgia, in Convention as sembled, do hereby declare and ordain, that the cessions heretofore made by the General As sembly of this State, granting jurisdiction to the late U. States of America, over specified portions of the territory, within the present limits of the State of Georgia, be, and the same are hereby revoked and withdrawn, and the full jurisdiction and sovereignty over the same, are hereby resumed by the said State. Beit further ordained, that the buildings, ma chinery, fortifications, or other improvements erected on the land so heretofore ceded to the said U.

Death of a Celebrated Doctor.—Dr. T. W. Dyott, well known throughout the United States as druggist, died in 7PI week. Soap Stone Quarry.— An extensive Soap Stone Quarry has been discovered, in Cobb gonntv. Go., about three miles west of Mari etta. ’Georgia is thus gradually developing her resources ol wealth and power. A greenhorn standing by a sewing machine at which a handsone young lady was at work looking alternately at the machine and Its fair operator, at length gave vent to his admiration “By colly! it’s purty, ’specially the part kivered with caliker.” A Bri-isli officer writing Irom L’ehc.ran, Persia, to the ‘London Times,’ remarks :—“A cathartic Pill manufactured by an American Chemist, (Dr. J. C. Ayer, ot Lowell, Mass.) has cured the Shah of a Liver Coinplaint that threatened his life. This simple fact, as might be expect ed, renders the Americans immensely popular here, while we English are overlooked. Doubtless our own scholars made the discove ries which he employs, and thus it lS in every thing ; we do the labor, then the mousing Americans put their mark on it and take the re ward. Doct.

Sec. 2nd. Be it further ordained, by the au- thoriiy aforesaid, That Collectors of Customs, aud all other officers connected with the revenue service, Postmasters and all other officers con nected with the Post Office Department in this State, and all mail carriers, mail contractors, and mail agents be, and they are hereby allowed to continue to perform their functions of office in this State, under the laws, and accountable to the Government of the United States as heretofore.

Sec. 4th. Be it further ordained by the author ity aforesaid, That until otherwise ordered, the State ot Georgia will, in good faith, observe and keep all treaties, and contract obligations made and entered into by the General Govern ment, while Georgia was a member thereof, as far as the same are applicable to, or require du ties of the State of Georgia. Mr. Hill said he was somewhat embarrassed in recommending the ordinance which he had just submitted to the consideration of any of the standing Committees of the Convention. Item braced matters which were, or should be under consideration in the postal aud comereial as well as other of the committees. He said it was well understood that the Convention, which meets in Montgomery on the 4th of February, wit! institute"a new Federal Government for the se ceded States, and it is also well kuown that that government will be on the basis of the Consti tution of the United States. In less than thirty days, it is reasonable to believe, we will have this new Government organized and in opera- ation. We have not the time to perfect laws in Georgia, to take the place of those abrogated by our act of Secession, and no time to insti tute the machinery of an independent Govern ment before the Convention meets and may act at i iO itgomery. The official papers in the Fed eral Court of this State could not be copied aud legally transferred to the several county courts of this State before the new Southern Government would go into operation. He moY *d that the ordinance be referred to the Com mittee on postal and commercial atfairs. Mr. Cobb, of Clark, thought the sections of the ordinance should be referred to the several committees having cognizance of matters ger- main to those embraced iu the ordinance of fered by Mr. Hill. The president of the Convention also thought that such a reference was most proper. Mr. Hill then moved that the President re fer it in accordance with his views, which mo tion was adopted. Judge Benning, from the Committee on the Relations of the slaveholding States of North America, reported, that they have had Lhe sub ject of the Inter-State slave trade under consid eration, and reported the following ordinance, and recommend its adoption : AN ORDINANCE, In relation to the inter-State Slave #rade : Be it ordained, by the People of Georgia, in Convention assembled, and it is hereby or dained by the authority of the. same, That all the laws relative to the inter-State slave trade, which were in force before the Ordinance of Secession, shall be deemed, and held to be still in force. Ordinance laid on table for the present. Judge Benning, from same committee, re ported, that they have had under consideration the subject of sending Commissioners to the slaveholdimr States, and recommend the adop tion of the following resolution : Resolved, That this convention appoint a com mission from the State of Georgia to each of the States of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, Missouri and Arkansas, to present to the Legislatures or Conventions, or in the eveut neither shall be in session, to the Governors of thdfe States, the Ordinance of Seeessiou of Georgia, and to iu- vite their co-operation with her and ot her sece ding States, iu the formation of a Southern Confederacy. Pending the adoption of the above resolution, the special order was called. SPECIAL ORDER—AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE LAWS. The President of the Convention announced that the hour for the consideration or-the special order had arrived. Mr Cobb, of Clark, moved that the Conven- tion go into secret session. Adopted. Several amendments were added to the oral- , nance, and wc now insert it complete as unani mously adopted: AN ORDINANCE, To declare and continue iu force in this State sundry laws of the late United States of of Lee county, dropped irom bis chair, dead, while quietly sitting, readiug his newspaper.— He arrived hero yesterday, and seemed in re markably good health. The election for delegates to the Montgomery Convention will probably come off to-morrow. Yours, C. Oxygenated Bitters.—To such of our read ers as are troubled with the debility incident to the approach of warm weather, we cordially recommend the ase of the Oxygenated Bitters, as an invigorating tonic—safe, efficacious, and highly palatable when diluted according to directions, containing no alcohol in its compo sition, and possessing more real merit than any preparation of the kind we have ever known. Many leading physicians use it in their practice, and have spoken’of it in the strongest terms of praise over their own signatures. Its reputa tion as a cure for dyspepsia is universal.— Ogdemlmrgh Republican. This peculiar aud excellent remedy is worthy of all the numerous tributes which has been paid to its rare qualities as a healing medium. Many has been the time as we have been looking out of our sanctum into the street, and saw familiar faces pass our office with an elastic step, and the glow of health beaming forth on the ruddy cheek. Again we look how changed : instead of healthy aud robust young men we see weak and emaciated forms, that plainly s eak to us of fast living, and a life of dissipation. We see some with corns on their feet, others with a braised leg, but generally the great portion are afflicted’with “rheuma tism” ; now let us iu all kindness prescribe for you—read the advertisement in another column of the “Ghcrokee Remedy.” Go to the drug store, and you will find it. * This will cure you after all the nauseous preparations have failed— cures from one to three days. Try it, and Jet us ouce more look upon * ou in the enjoyment of health pleasure and happiness.—Exchange.
