NEWNAN, GA., FRIDAY, JANUARY 4, 1861.
The Election.
At the election on Wednesday last for
delegates to the State Convention, the se
cession candidates were all elected by hand
some raajorities,(say 5 to 1) and we now hope
that there will be more union among the po
litical parties at home, and a united determi
nation tostand by the South at all hazards
and underall circumstances.
A Mistake Corrected.
It has been industriously reported that
Hill would be without teachers dur
ing the present year. This is most assur.
edly and emphatically a “ false alarm,” and
is hereby contradicted. The Science Hill
Faculty for 1861 is larger and much more
able than it formerly was, consisting of Dr.
Hugh E. Morrow, a graduate and teacher of
over twenty years experience; bis Lady,
who is an accomplished teacher of Music
and Literature; and Mrs. James Hammond,
F a graduate of La Grange. It will open doors
on next Monday.
United we Stand, Divided we Fall
This is an old maxim and as truthful as
it is old. Therefore, when the two parties
in Georgia agreed to drop all party lines
ynite. -on States rights and Southern pro
tection we began to feel assured that the
Empire State of the South was getting right
side up, and that we should have a long
pull, a strong pull, and that we should all
together for the safety, the honor
Ip protection of the rights guarantied
5 to us by our fathers. But soon after the
? Mass Meeting was advertise I calling on all,
6 without distinction of parties, to assemble
| in Newnan, on the 20lh of December last,
I to nominate three candidates to represent
| Coweta in the State Convention, the Ameri-
■ can party called together a few of their old
S associates, five days previous to the general
and nominated two old Demo
■ orats and one American to represent them
U as an opposition party; and when, on the
2O*b, tlmii .urr meeting- they nominated
Americans and one Democrat as their
candidates; and, by their votes, discounte
nancing every film and avowed secessionist,
our spirits that had been so buoyant for
Coweta dropped down to zero, and we have
noj a word of cheer to offer in regard to
Coweta politics. Reason why : The selfish,
the ambitious, and the office seekers have
taken the lead, and the men who are patri
otic and open in their views have been dis
carded, and others, heretofore governed by
no particular principle except personal ob
jects, have been thirst forward, and if they
have sowed the wind they must be content
to reap the whirlwind that may possibly be
; raised by the blowers, which the selfish, the
ambitious, and the wire-workers are prepar
bMr' the storm.
Now, in our opinion, it would have been
much better if those who have been running
the under current for county ascendency had
laid out their time in striving for union at
home, instead of disputes and controversies
about nothing that is of interest or safety to
the South. What a great pity it is that
some men, who are so filled with gass and
spleen that it makes them uneasy to the
public as well as to themselves, could not
have invented some method of fighting with
their own shadows, and let the people keep
their powder dry—for, on either horn of the
dilemma, they may, it is possible, need all
priming that the country can afford.
And it is said that caution is the better part
of valor, and that in uuion there is safety,
but divide and all is lost—then away with
all personal selfishness.
Alabama all Right,
Our intelligence from Alabama is glori
ous. The State has gone for secession by a
1 tremendous majority, which places her side
by side with South Carolina, Florida and
Mississippi. What will G-eorgia do ? She
will go as straight out of this Union as the
16th day of January rolls round. Talk
about Georgia submitting to Abolition rule,
i Her people are made of better material —no
submission in them. They would have been
willing to have remained in the Union, if
allowed to do so upon terms of equality, but
not as inferiors —not as degrading subjects
of Northern fanaticism. Georgia submit!
Georgia be less loyal t<? her interests than
her sisrttr States 1 The minds of her peo
, pie are made up, and made up upon this
fact: they will never submit to the rule of
Abe Lincoln—his free nigger Vice Presi
dent, Hamlin, and the free nigger votes of
Ohio and other Abolition States.
Black Republican Programme.
Keep it Before the People.
Next to the New York Tribune, the most
influential abolition newspaper in the North
is Beecher’s Independent —a vile sheet far
more infamous than Greeley’s, because it
pretends to be a religious organ—“ stealing
the livery of heaven to serve the devil in.”
In a late issue we find the following Black
Republican Programme, which we intend
for some time to keep before the people.—
How will our Submission, co-operation, and
wait-a-while folks digest it. They will find
it a hard pill:
The Work Before us. —Let no opponent
of slavery imagine that this is a time to rest
from his'labors. The Republican triumph
while it is an effective blow to the slave
power that has so long domineered at Wash
ington, falls far short of the demolition of
slavery. ’lhe giganic iniquity still - stands ;
hostile to the Constitution and the known
policy of its frames ; hostile to the whole
genius of our free institutions ; hostile to
every principle and precept of Christianity;
an organized, unmitigated system of wick
edness; but nevertheless organized by the
laws of Southern States, and upheld, in the
face of the Christian sentiment of the age,
political, financial aud commercial inter
ests botll at the South and at the North,
While that system stands ice cannot let it
alone.
Convention of the People of Cow
eta County.
Pursuant to notice a large and enthusi
astic convention of the people of Coweta as
sembled at the Court House in Newnan, on
Thursday, 21st December, 1860.
The convention was organized by electing
J. T. Brown and Benjamin Leigh, Esq?.
Presidents, J. R. Tolbert, Esq., and John T.
Dent, Secretaries.
The meeting was opened by Andrew J.
Smith, Esq., in a speech reflecting great
credit upon him as an orator —giving per’
feet satisfaction to his many admirers among
the citizens of Coweta.
After some little confusion, arising entire
ly from the great crowd in attendance, the
convention proceeded to ballot for three
candidates to represent the county of Cowe'
ta in the coming State Convention. The
ballotting resulted in the selection of the
following named gentlemen : Dr. A. B. Cal
houn, J. J. Pinson, Esq., and W. B. Shell,
Esq.
Two of the candidates, Dr. Calhoun and
Mr. Pinson, were present and accepted, and
several delegates guarantied that Mr. Shell
would also accept when he was informed of
the nomination. The nominations were then
made unanimous. The following resolution
was offered and unanimously adopted:
JJesofzzerf,“That the candidates nominated
by this convention shall consider themselves
instructed to act, in the State Convention,
in accordance with the preamble and reso
lutions adopted by a convention of the peo
ple of this county, on 17th day of Novem
ber last.
The two candidates present avowed them
selves as being firmly fixed on that platform;
both of them having served on the commit
tee of fifteen, who reported the resolutions
in said meeting.
After several speeches the convention ad
journed sine die.

Capture of Fort Moultrie mid Cas
tle Pinckney,
Charleston, Dec. 28.—The Palmetto flag
was raised early yesterday afternoon over
the Custom House and Post Office. At five
in the afternoon the Palmetto flag was rais
ed at Castle Pinckney. A large military
force went over last night to take Fort
Moultrie. The ball has opened— chassez
round.
Charleston, Dec. 28—Fort Moultrie and
Castle Pinckney were taken by Carolina
last night at 8 o’clock.
Interesting Foreign Items.
We take the following items from the
Charleston Courier of yesterday:
The Arsenal.---Colonel John Cuningham,
having been ordered by Gov. Pickens to
take command of the Arsenal, completed
this order yesterday (Sunday) about half
pass 1 o’clock—at that houre Capt. Hum
phrey gave up the command to Col. Cuning
liam. The Federal Flag was lowered after
a salute of 32 guns, the State troops having
been drawn up in order, presenting arms.—
The palmetto flag was then attached, and
run up with a salute of one gun for South
Carolina. The Arsenal is now in command
of Col. Cuningham, of the 17th Regiment.
A Coincidence.—The first flag hoisted
upon the ramparts of Fort Moultrie, was the
Palmetto ensign of the steamer Gen. Clinch.
Major Anderson, who deserted that fortress
for a safer position, is the son-ic-law of the
distinguished Georgian after whom the
steamer Gen. Clinch is named.
We take pleasure and pride in recording
the fact that some of the employers of the
young men who are now under military ser
vice, have given them notice that salaries
will not be suspended.
We trust all will take this course, and
that none who have offered their services to
the State will be compelled to endure any
unnecessary sacrifice.
Personal.—Midshipman John Grimball,
of South Carolina, has resigned his position
in the Navy, and has tendered his services
to the Governor.
W. H. Gibbs, late Lieutenant in the Uni
ted States Army, has been appointed, by
Governor Pickens, commander of the forti
fication at Beaufort, with the rank of Cap
tain.
Lieut. G. S. James, 4th Artillery, U. S.A.,
has resigned, and is on his way hither.
A detaenment of the Citadel Cadets, under
command of Maj. Stevens, left this city on
Sunday for Morris’ Island.
The Charleston Riflemen also left the city
on Saturday last, under command of Cajjt.
Johnson, for James’ Island.
Camp mattresses, and sacks for bedding,
are in demand with some of
now under arms. We learn that materials
for stuffing are furnished in abundance, but
sacks are wanted.
Our patriotic ladies can soon stich up a
supply of bags or sacks to receive the bay
or other material for a soldier’s bed.
What the Ladies Can Do. —In reply to
many inquiries from fair friends, we would
say that they can serve the State at present
by preparing roller bandages three and four
inches wide, six yards long, of long cloth.—
They will be acceptable to the Surgeon-
General’B department. It has also bsen sug
gested to us that, in anticipation of the cas
ualties which we have every reason to fear
may occur at no distant period, the daught
ers of Carolina prepare lint in abundance,
which can easily be obtained by the unravil
ling of old linin. In the event of any col
lision, the comfort of the wounded #ould
imperatively demand this provision—
cury.
Great Excitement and Indignation.—
At an early hour yesterday morning, tele
graphic advices were received from Charles
ton, announcing the news of the evacuation
of Fort Moultrie, and the demolition of its
gun-carriages, and the spiking of the guns.
The intelligence acted like an electric shock
on our city, and thrilled through the com
munity like lightning. Groups of citizens
might be seen through the streets discussing
the matter, and venting their indignation on
such a hostile movement. There is but one
sentiment on this question, and that is of in
dignation and resistance. Georgia feels that
the cause of Carolina is her cause, and their
fate must be the same. If the Federal Gov
ernment expects to have no State but Caro
lina to coerce into submission, itj will find
itself wonderfully mistaken. cTbis step has
decided the matter of secession in every
Southern State, and nothing else should sat
isfy them. We might have been quieted by
the adoption of a milder course, but there
are none of us so degraded as to submit to
be whipped into submission.— Savannah
Republican,2Bth.
From the Charleston Courier.
Eater—Highly Important.
Washington, Dec. 30—10 P, M.—The
long consultation of the Cabinet has termi
nated, and the President has sent positive
orders to Major Anderson to remove imme
diately from Sumpter and re-occupy Fort
Moultrie.
A special message will be despatched in
the morning for Charleston with orders to
Major Anderson.
In consequence of this determination,
Secretary Floyd, at the reqtresV“tJf“tTie’’Cab
inet, consented to withdraw his resignation.
The Cabinet has made concession to the
views of Secretary Floyd in the matter.—
Prior to this, Secretary Floyd had written
his resignation, and it had been officially
announced in to day’s Constitution.
There is some hope indulged in,that a peace
ful settlement of the difficulties with South
Carolina will yet be reached, and it is
thought this feeling is shared by members
of the Cabinet.
Washington. Dec. 30,10:30 P. M. —The
President completed his Special Message to
Congress last night. He informed Messrs.
Cochran and Briggs, Congressmen from
New York, in conversation to-day, that he
would be calm and temporizing, hoping that
Congress would act discreetly and make
.an effort to settle the existing troubles.
It is understood that the Republicans in
the House will move to lay tire Message on
the table, when an exciting debate is antici
pated.
[Special Correspondence of the Augusta Consti
tutionalist,,]
South Carolina.
Charleston, Dec. 20* 1860.
To the Editor of the Constitutionalist :
Since my last epistle, the ordinance of se
cession has passed, and South Carolina has
become an independent sovereignty.
At the usual hour this morning the con
vention assembled, and was opened with an
impressiee prayer ; after which the roll was
called, and the journal of yesterday’s pro
ceedings read.
A resolution inviting the Mayor of Char
leston, the Governor of the State, the Presi
dent of the State Senate-and the Speaker of
the House of Representatives to seats on the
floor, was adopted.
The Chair then announced the committee
appointed to prepare an address setting forth
the causes which led to the separation of
South Carolina from the American Union ;
he also announced the four standing com
mittees.
Mr. Rhett offered a resolution providing
for the appointment of a committee of thir
teen, whose duty it shall be to call a conven
tion of such States as may secede, and to
assist in the formation of a Constitution for
such States. The resolution was adopted.
Mr. Inglis, from the committee to draft
the ordiance of secession, reported the fol
lowing :
• AN ORDINANCE
To dissolve the union between the State of
South Carolina and the other States uni
ted with her under the compact entitled
the Constitution of the United States of
America:
We, the people of the State of South Caro
lina, in convention assembled, do declare and
ordain, and it is hereby declared and ordain
ed, that the Ordinance adopted by us in con
tion, on the 23d day of May, in the year
one thousand seven hundred and eighty
eight, whereby the Constitution of the Uni-
ted States of America tv as adopted, and also
all acts, and parts of acts, of the General
Assembly of this State ratifying amendments
of said Constitution, are hereby repealed,
and that the union now subsisting between
the State of South Carolina and other States,
under the name of the United States of
America,Js hereby dissolved.
The committee’s report was received, and
the ordinance taken up and passed, at quar
ter dast One o’clock, P. M., by the unani
mous vote of the convention: ayes 160,
nays none.
On motion of Mr. Miles, the Secretary
was instructed to notify the South Carolina
members of Congress at Washington of the
passage of the ordinance by telegraph at
once.
On motion of Mr. DeSaussure, it was re
solved that the ordinance be engrossed upon
parchment, under the direction of the Attor
ney General, and be signed by lhe President
and members of the convention this evening,
at half past six o’clock at Institute Hall.—
After this is done it will be placed in the
archives of the State.
In the debate, which arose upon the pas
sage of the ordinance, Mr. Magrath said he
thought that the special matter contained in
that ordinance should be immediately con
sidered. The adoption of it would extin
guish the authority of every Government
officer in South Carolina —there would be
no collector of the port, no postmaster, with
in its limits. He was, therrfore, in favor of
the convention making some provision for
this state of affairs. He was, however, not
to be implicated as sanctioning the idea that
there is no lawful authority in the State,
except that of the General Government.
Mr. Gregg said that the instant the Con
stitution of the United States was abrogated,
all laws of Congress fell to the ground.
This sentiment was received with consid
erable cheering by the audience.
Mr. Hayne differed with the gentlemen.
It was for the Legislatue of South Carolina
to say what laws of Congress shall be con
tinued in force, and what not; the simple
act of secession does not abrogate all the
laws of Congress.
The debate was continued on this point
for some time further,between Messrs Gregg,
Miles, Hayne, Chesnut, and Mazyek.
The latter gentleman thought that the
present postal system was a nuisance, and
that the public would be better served by
private parties; and that, between citis like
Philadelphia and New York, the postage
might be but one cent instead of tl.ree, as
at present, while between less important
places, it could be ten cents or more.
Mr Calhoun said : We have pulled the
Temple of Liberty down, which has existed
for three quarters of a century; we must clear
away the rubbish, and re-struct another.—
We are now houseless and homeless, and
must make provision to secure ourselves
from storms and troubles.
Mr. Dunkin thought that everything
would move along just, as smoothly after the
passage of ordinance as before, until other
arrangements could be made.
The debate was continued by Messrs.
Withers, Carroll, Brown, and Duncan.
The latter said that the spirit of the ordi
nance was only temporary, until we can
threat with the General Government.
Mr. Gregg said that the President of the
United States has thrown‘the gauntlet, in
his message, declaring that he will continue
to collet the revenues ; on one side the Fed
eral Government claims this right; on the
other side we have declared that we are free.
I desire no compromise; the mail contracts
should be assumed by South Carolina.
Mr Rhett said that this revolution must
go on with as little danger and disturbance
to the country as possible. By making the
Federal agents our agent the machinery of
government will move on smoothly. Taxa
tion must not exist over us.
After some further remarks on this sub
ject, by Messrs. Barnwell an®Mazvck, the
convention took a recess at forty minutes
past three, P. M. until half past six, P. M.,
when the members will proceed to Institute
Hall for the purpose of signing the ordi
nance, in accordance with the resolution of
Mr. DeSaussure.
I have given you a very brief synopsis of
this interesting debate; but it will serve to
give your readers some insight into the feel
ings and rulings of this important conven
tion. •
When it was known at the door of St.
Andrew’s Hall, that the ordinance had been
adopted, the excitement was intense; the
news spread through the streets and over
the city like wilefire; crowds of anxious
people gathered around the hall, and gave
vent to their feelings in loud and long con
tinued cheers ; and, as the members of the
convention were leaving the hall, at forty
minutes past three o’clock, P. M., the chimes
of St. Michal’s church pealed forth “ Auld
Lang Syne,” and other airs. Subsequently,
a salute was fired in honor of the event, and
a general feeling of joy and satisfaction
seemed to spread over the city.

The Amalgamation of Languages.—There is a
growing tendency in this age to appropriate the
most expressive words of other languages, and af
ter awhile to incorporate them into our o.wu ; thus
the word Cephalic, which is from the Greek, sig
nifying “ for the head,” is now becoming popular
ized in connection with Mr. Spalding’s great Head
.ache remedy, but it will soon be used in a‘ more
general way, and the word Cephalic will become
as common as Electrotype and many others whose
distinction Jis foreign words has been worn away
by common usage until they seem “ native and to y
the manor born.” *
’ardly Realized-
Hi ’ad ’n ’orrible ’eadache this hafternoon, hand

“ Does it hache ’ard,” says ’e. “ Ilexceedingly.”

Headache is the favorite sign by which
nature makes known any deviation whatever from
the natural state of the brain, and viewed in this
light it may be looked on as a safeguard intended
to give notice of disease which might otherwise
escape attention, till too late to be remedied ; and
its indications should never be'neglected. Head
aches may be classified under two names,, viz:——
Symptomatic and Idiopathic. Symptomatic Head
ache is exceedingly common and is the precursor
of a great variety of diseases, among which are
Apoplexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all febrile dis
eases. In its nervous form it is sympathetic of
disease of the stomach constituting htadache,
of hepatic disease constituting bilious headache. df
worms, constipation and other disorders ;<»f the
bowels, as well as renal and uterine affectkiD*.
Diseases of the heart are very frequently attended
with Headaches; Aiuemia and plethora are also
affections which frequently occasion headache.
Idiopathic Headache is also very common, being
usually distinguished by the name of nervous
headache, sometimes coming on suddenly in a state
of apparentFy sound health and prostrating at ot ce
the mental and physical energies, and in other in
stances it comes on slowly, heraled by depression
of spirits or acerbity of temper. In most instan
ces the pain is in the front of the head, over one or
both eyes, and sometimes provoking vomiting;
under this class may also be named Keuralqia.
For the treatment of either class <>f Headache
the Cephalic I’ills have been found a sure and safe
remedy, relieving the most acute pains in a few
minutes, and by its subtle power eradicating the
disease of which Headache is the unerring index.
Bridget.—Missus wants you to send her a box
of Cephalic Glue, no. a bottle of Prepared Fills
