Staff IflSufSj and Inifed Staffs' Rights.! Quite a nnmWr Of our eitiz ns with but little
j P re P ar *t‘°n and consultation, assembled on Sa‘-
j urday evening, and with music and torches pro
ceeded to the Executive Mansion to call on tlie^
^ Governor, who had tMtday arrived from Savnn-^
£ ^mk i nah. Loud calls for Gov. Brown were made.
^ j when he appeared. Gen. Sanford ill a few words,
*' i explained the object of the visit, when Gov. Brown !
I P r °ceeded to address the crowd. He grave a his- i
| tory ot events as they transpired during his visit)
to Savannah, and gave his reasons f r the course
j ho had puisued. He spoke with great feeling
and was cheered with a hearty good will. Alter
thanking the crowd for the honor of the call upon
him, he introduced Judge Shorter, the Commis
sioner from the State of Alabama to Georgia, who
made a few rematks, highly creditable to his head
and heart. The enthusiastic crowd visited the
residences of many ot our private citizens, who
responded in appropriate terms. Adjutant Geuer
al Wayne, responded in a neat and off hand
speech, which he said was his first effort of the
kind. It was not the less acceptable on that ac
count, and was a model of soldierly eloquence—
to the point. After a circuit of the city, the crowd
dispersed quietly; all pleased with the impromptu
demonstration.

a J» w bv birth, lias donated Ten Thousand I)o

and Southern independence. Some good can

From present appearances, we believe a laTge
majority of the Convention will be in favor of im
mediate Secession But there can bo no doubt
that nearly all the membeis of tile Conven
tion have made np their minds not to live one day
tinder Lincoln’s Administration. So that the only
difference between Secessionists aud Co-opcra
tionists, is merely a question of 30 'or 40 days.
All are for seceding on or before the 3rd day of
March, either in connection with other Southern
States, or separately.

I hr Convention.
I is very probable that a large number of persons,
of the Convention, will is- in attendance during
i's sittings in this city next week. There will be
three hundred members of the Convention, and sev-
- al hundred strargera present in the city, and our
Private boardinghouses should be prepared to accom
modate all who may not stop at the Hotels. A more
inqxirtant Convention never has assembled in our day
and generation, and its deliberations will be of such ft
- .iiiraeti r as to attract many visitors from abroad We
ope ample preparation will be made to aceommodatc
ail who may visit the city during the progress of the
< 'onvenlion. Let air who can do so. “put their houses
in older” at once, for the day of the Convention is
near at hand.
An able body.
T'ue Convention which is to meet in this city next
week, will embrace much of the wisdom, eloquence
.in I patriotism of the State. Among its members will
lie found many men upon whose heads the frosts of
nearly seventy winters have settled—men who have
la id the highest offices within the gift of the people
"i the State, and enjoyed all the honors and confidence
at either had to bestow—: Profound lawyers, saga
■ 1- Statesmen, to whom all eyes are now directed as
tie-leaders to rescue us from the bondage which for
many years our people have uncomplainingly and pa
tiently borne. So much wisdom, patriotism and vir
tu • l v will be able to provide ail honorable and
• tied mode of redress. We have great faith in the
> and patriotism of this Convention. Tlie re-
-ihilitv which devolves upon it, is indeed great—
greater perhaps tnau many of its members would be
i: 1 -g to grant—but we trust they will all meet it like
n.111 who know their duty and dare do it. We await
action with confidence, believing that onr honor
r 1 not be compiomised or our rights and liberties cn-
II gored through its instrumentality.

Josh Hill For Coercion !!
Mr. Joshua Hill who misrepresents this District
in Congress, voted in the House of Representa
tives on Motiday last, to lay Mr. Pryor's Resolu
tion against coercion, on the table. He vot.d with
all the abolitionists. Mr. Hardeman we are glad
to say voted in opposition to Mr. Hill. Even
Northern Democrats voted against laying on the
table. Vallandingham, Sickles, John Cochrane,
Flotenc", and other Northern men voted with the
South. Ob, Mr. Hill this is too bad ! It is worse
than submission, to call it by its best namer

In another place will be found an account of
Tie occupation of Fort Pulaski, below Savannah. I
by the Georgia Volunteers under the orders of Gov .
Brown. The citizens of Savannah were thrown j
into great excitement by a Telegraphic Dispatch j
from Washington, stating that Troops and vessels
of War had been ordered South. To allay this ex- :
citenient, and secure the Fort in case Georgia -
should secede, the Governor ordered the Fort to be j
occupied by Georgia Troops. For bis promptness |
and energy in this crisis, Gov. Brown deserves the
gratitude of every citizen of Georgia.

The Jews mid llir Crisis.
The Jewish Messenger, of December 28, makes a
strong editorial appeal to the Jews in the United
States to observe the 4tli proximo as a clay of prayer
for the preservation of the Union. The following par-
ngrapli will afford the reader a good idea of the whole :
As Israelitics, we have still weightier inducements
to join with our fellow-citizens in observing this day
uf prayer. Tlie Union, for whose prosperity we ask
Divine aid, has been the source of happiness for out
ancestors and ourselves. Under tlie protection of tie-
freedom guarantied us by the Constitution, ive have
lived in tlie enjoyment of full and perfect equality with
our fellow-citizens: we are enabled to worship tie.

to recognize our claims to absolute equality with men
of whatever religious denomination. Here we cun
sit “each under liis vine and fig tree, with none L-
nake him afraid.” The perpetuity of the national ex
istence of this republic being imperiled, let us, then.
right heartily join with -fellow-citizens in observing
Friday next as a day of prayer anil humiliation. Let
its assemble in our respective synagogues, and pour

o non id immolate a Nation s name.
So young in years, so obi in fame !
But, ah ! tbailfaody die is east—
The day of Hope, of Pence is past!
Love, Friendship, and all kindred ties,
The just, the generous sympathies
Which brothers ol one blood should know.
Are lost! God sanctify the blow !
Oppression’s mde and ruthless band
Has burst apart that glorious band
Of Sister States, whose once proud flag
Is now bnt a:i unmeaning rag/
A Union lives—the Union's gone;
Of ancient Brotherhood there's none !
The Constiiu'ion, once the tie
That bound our common destiny.
Is called “a covenant with death,”
“A league with Hell,” in every breath.
But that shall live—hearts true and brave,
With minds to will, and strength to save,
Will guard that priceless legacy
Our lathers framed when they were free.
Our Sister, Carolina, hail!
Thy Ordinance makes Traitors quail.
No pious promises can move
Thy purpose uow: no vows of lovo
Can heal the wound—firm as a rock
She bids defiance to the shock.
To keep her name and honor bright.
She’ll count no cost, she’ll court the fight
Great, gallant, glorious State!
Will Georgia now “Co-operate”?
To change the theme. What is the news ?
Who’ll pay .-tore hills, who Print.i— 1 duo. /
Are there no honest men to leap
The barriers of Law. and keep
Their bond? Must Creditors still wait
For debtors to “Co-operate
The Banks have got “relief,” and still
The pleasant face of Banker's bill
Is quite as strange as ’twas before
Suspension raised the Hope for more.
I’ve neither silver, nil's, nor gold.
Was People or Legislature “soW?
One thing is certain; money now,
No more than then, on trees doth grow,
The Bill is ours, but the “Relief”
Is all the Bank’s, and that’s my grief.
But, friends,4 cannot further go.
My time is precious, that you know.
My wit is small, my purse is long,
But nothing's in it but my song.
I want “relief,” cast in your mite.
‘Twill harm you not but me delight:
•Twill stir this little soul with joy

We find the following beautiful little gem float

There’s many an empty cradle,
There’s many a vacant bed,
There’s many a lonesome bosom,
Whose joy and light have fled,
For thick in every graveyard
The little hillocks lie—
And every hillock represents
An angel in the sky.

home in the city ■ ,f Maiietta. tjurrouniled l>y af
fectionate kitiUn il, and svmptthizino- friends, lie
ended a life ladiant with the lustre of golden deeds
and virtuous actions. He died with well-deserved
honors c lustering tfiii k on his brow, and the con
fidence of the people pursuing him to the veri
brink of the prrave. A truer man never lived: a
nobler heart nevi-r ceased to beat
Amidst the bustle and confusion, which mark
the closing hours of a laborious session, I may not
hope to do sm\ tiling like justice, to the private
woith. and public services of tlie deceased In
deed Sir: no humble eulopv or miue, would add
one jot or tittle to his spotless fame. His name,
his learning, his truth, his patriotism, and bi,-
stateMiianship, are ineffaceably siainped upon the
records of ev-ry Department of the Government
As long as Georgia can claim a history, so long
will Charles J. McDonald, have an honorable
biogi.-tpliy. The one. will eaase to live, oniy when
the other shall have perishtd. The deceased was
born in the State of South Carolina and at the
time of his death, had lived about sixty-eight
years Whilst he was yet an infant, his parents
removed to Georgia, and settled lit the county of
Hancock. In the school of the celebrated Nathan
S. Be man, the subject of these imperfect remarks,
underwent’ his academical training-. Afterwards,
ho graduated iu tlie tjouth Carolina College,
studied law under the guidance of the late Maj:
Joel Crawlord, and eut.red upon the practice ol
his profession in the year l&ls. With a well
disciplined mind, coupled with habits of industry
and application to business, he soon placed him
self in the front rank of a Bar distinguished for
its forensic learning aud oratory In tho year
1899, he was elected to the office of Solicitor Gen
eral of the Flint Circuit, tho duties of which he
discharged with ability, vigilance, and fidelity.
In the year 1825, he was promoted to the Judge
ship of the same Circuit, and his administration
OT ttIP rMo. Inrpnrtint pwiv
pure. n^T8.i0. ho represented the county
Bibb, iu this branch of the General Assembly, and
in 1834, aud again in lc37, he represented the
same county, in the other end of the Capitol. As
a Legislator he occupied amongst his fellows, a
commanding, influential, and leading position
In the year I83U, the partiality of his fellow citi
zens, called him to the arduous, delicate, and re
sponsible duties, of Chief Magistrate of the State,
at a peculiarly ciitical period in her history. Upon
his accession to the Executive Chair, he found the
Treasury without money; the credit of the State
prostrated; and her character disgraced by the
protest ot an obligation amounting almost to repu
diation. He looked these difficulties in the face,
with fie inflexible fiimness of a Roman, and with
the skill, and ability ot a masterly statesmanship,
he brought order out of confusion—redeemed the
credit of the commonwealth, and preserved her
escutcheon, from every dishonoring stain. The
people testified their confidence in the man, and
their appreciation of his patriotic service to the
State, by re-electing him to the office of Governor.
At the close of his second term. he retired from ali
official position, and pursued the pi aceful paths ot
a private citizen until the year 1855, when with
out solicitation on his part he was honored with a
place on the Bench ot the Supreme Court. This
last position, his failing health impelled him to
resign. Many of his Judicial opinions, will rank
with those of the best Jurists the laud can boast,
whilst bis honesty’, his purity, and his integrity as
a Judge, none will question. But, Mr. Speaker,
in our admiration cf tlie public services of tlie de
ceased, let us not lose sight of his most excellent
character as a private citizen. Who that knew
him. can ever forget tin-kindly smile that always
beamed from his benevolent face! Who that ever
came in contact with him. did not feel, that in tin
bo-om of Charles J. McDonald, there throbbed a
heart full of truth, candor, kindness, and amiabil
ity ! He was once told, that if he would engage
in a log-rolling combination, for the promotion ot
others, he could easily obtain a certain high office
for himself His answer was characteristic of the
man. I would that every young aspirant for
place in Georgia, would make the motto ot his
life. I would sir. that his repiv were recorded in
a book, in letters of living light, ot graven with
an iron pen, and lead in the rock forever. Said
ho: “I have never bargained lor any office, and
if I do not receive it, without conditions, I shall
never reach it.” Noble sentiment, of a noble
man ! Fellow-Representatives : come with me
and let us gather around the new-made grave ot
McDonald, and catch the goodly influences of a
pure life, and a virtuous example. Let us learn
bow iVniI in tilc’o tenure. L.et us lcu».; OicSt
halls, and separate, with kindly feelings, and
brotherly sympathies tor each other. Let ns re
turn to our homes, and loved outs, resolved,
come wliat may, that we will continually live
with reference to that higher and better life, to be
attained only by the pure and the good.

Xcics
Dear Sib.—I voted to raise the House Committee
■if thirty-three. Being appointed upon it, I have
served to date in good faith, and would linve aecept-
• 1, cheerfully, proper mid efficient constitutional guar
inties, to tile rights of the South. Such have not
been tendered by the Republicans on the committee
of which I am a member. I am informed by Mr.
loom!*, w!m is a member of this Senate Committee
•jt’ thirteen, that the ultimatum of the Republican
members of that Committee, Mr. Seward at tlie head,
is that a provision may be inserted in thr Federal Con-
stifuf'nn forbidding Congers.% to abolish slavery in
f -''t S TA TE ! / / This I fear closes the case. The
question is now narrowed down, iu my judgment, to an
unconditional, disgraceful submission to Lincoln, his
party and their <iejn*ading doctrines, or secession from
llie Union. I cannot doubt as to the course my noble
old State will take.
Respectfully,

Mr. tViimloir'A Address to hix Constitii-
rnlN.
Washington, Dec. 29tb, I860.
To My Constituents: —
The views which I entertained of the unhappy state
of things existing iu the Union, the duty of i.itr peo
ple, amt the po-sthle reinvfiies, were fully nud irankly
disclosed to yon, in repeated discussions, during the lat
canvass.
I came hither, nt the assembling of tlie Congress,
with the design of honestly carrying out those views,
and with the intention to assert boldly, and to main
tain fearlessly the rights of my section, and to contri
bute, so far as I could, consistently with the honor of
North Carolina, to the preservation of the Union, the re-
cognition of the equality of the States, and the estab
lishment of unity, peace, and concord among our peo
ple to all generations.
I could not hesitate, therefore, to take service upon
a committee of the State, the avowed object of which
was to arrive at some just settlement ot the difficul
ties.
On that committee I have steadily acted with tny
colleagues of the sluveholding States, who were really
and unaffectedly desirous of restoring pence, and con
solidating the Union on principles of justice and
equality.
Although it did not entirely meet the approval of our
judgment, nevertheless, for the sake of harmony we
were induced, oti the first day of our meeting, to
propose frankly and at once, a plan to settle the only
difficult question, that of the territories, upon the
basis of a eoustitutional amendment, prohibiting sla
very above, and protecting it below the parallel
of thirty-six degrees thirty minutes, North lati
tude.
It was especially gra ifying, tliat, without the knowl
edge of this proposition, the venerable and distinguish
ed Crittenden, the representative man of a political
organization, most respectable for its numbers and in
telligence in all the slaveholding States, should have
produced in the Senate, a plan almost identical in terms
and import.
From some causes or other, the resolutions intro
duced by us on the 10th day of December, could not
be forced to a vote until tlie 27th i^pnt, when they
were rejected by the unaniuioqu^^ne of all the Re
publican members, aided by one gentleman from the
South.
Perhaps the saddest evidence that little hope re
mains of a satisfactory solution, rests upon wliat
were manifestly the reasons of such refusty, lhe ab
solute unwillingness to recognize by a l'ot^piir amend
ment of the Constitution, the rig'ut of ^property in
slaves.
The Senate committee of thirteen found all its endea

the right to choose bis remedy either in State or Na
