BY “OME OF ’EM.” Got up very early, very ea r lv indeed, about five o’clock: somewhat I felt rather thirsty, couldn't understand how tlis: was. as 1 had partaken rath- •r f.ecly the night before of various mixed diinks of an enticing quality; had about fifteen thousand tons of remorse on my conscience, and offered to sell it to Bill W . but he very quietly replied that he ’did not wish to purchase, that he had plenty on hand just theu;’ whereupon l deemed it meet to take a little ‘•Mountain Dew, that being a Christian drink, as 1 understand it. nothing be ing said against it in Scripture. Conscience p**itin^ somewhat relieved in u little while, 1 concnlded to taken walk in searchot some egg-nog met up with some speedily, and fouuo numerous people there congregated. Took one drink, felt better, weight on my conscience dimin ishing somewhat—not so bad perhaps. Took an- oth-r drink of egg-nogg, felt still bettter, things began to look about east—took another drink, and iooked around generally. 7 o’clock. Felt bett-r a right smart; met a matt of small stature, who said that he had a • mighty mean conscience, and would sell it t«r seventy- live cents:” told him that 1 ‘did net wish to huv —met another man who said that I looked very hazy, an J asked me if it was not going to rain, told him I thought so, but couldn't say when; then and thereupon asking me to partake of a glass of eggnogg, I could not refuse. rs o'clock. Conscience much relieved; walk up Nash street, met a man who asked me it it wasn't snowing, or about to snow, upon-my answering in then gstive. h- said he could not tell. Upon his suggesting the propriety of mv taking a glass of egg nogg, I immediately acquiesc-d, and still continuing to feel better, I took anotherdrink. •I o'clock Very little weight now on my con science—rapidly diminishing—lelt better Met a friend, friend asked m ■ to take a drink of oysters, took 'em raw, fried in batter; much ph ased friend upset a bottle of pickles, said that I did it, we then took a small drink and ate the pickles. I (i o'clock. Very sober indeed as yet. quite de sirous to get a drink. Met several friends who said that they were in pursuit of a drink under difliculti' S I expressed an eagerness to assist them in their difficulties—we succeeded in discov ering a drink, took a drink all around, then took another. Friend* got noisy—lelt them. II o'clock. Felt very well indeed, never felt better in my life. Had a strong desire to get a dri..k—ni**t a friend and went to his 100m. Friend bad two gallons of egg nogg. four boiled hams, eight dozen hard boiied eggs, and four hams raw. Frici.l and I drank, and ^^took^d.^k egg*, and kept feeling better all the time, friend and I then ate a ham. Friend became thirsty, and produced a bottle of Champaign, friend and I drank it. 12 o’clock Bogan to feel hungry—Left friend's room and took a walk up Nash street, met a man who declared >hat he could see a hole through a ladder—aw two horses driving a man and a bug gy through the street—saw a man holding up a tree, saw several men holding up posts, sidewalks very narrow, saw many dogs, juvenile swine were plentiful. Met the Doctor, said he had sold out all right and title and interest in drinking intoxi c.ting beverages for one year, and couldn’t drink just their—referred ine to a friend. I o’clock. Dry as a fish. Took a drink and felt better, saw many friends, friends, friends all thirs ty, drank various times. Things began to get a little promiscuous; lost my hat, friend stepped on it; friend was very sorry—I begged his pardon. Friend fell down over a mat and apologized; friend saiJ the in it was “alt right." ft o'clock Met a man with a pair of green gog- g es on, said that things appeared rather mixed up asked me if I saw “anything gre»ri,” whereupon we took a drink. People generally looked rather miscellaneous, and appeared disposed to be funny. Couldn't exactly understand this, and so took a drink. Friends increased. Saw quite a number moving about. Took a drink. II o'clock. Saw m *n as trees walking. I bought it best to •Secede.” Took a walk. Matters looked rather confused—good many peoplo nretty well “set up." and inclined to be jocose. People, inclined to drink I took a drink, afterwards drank with a friend. 4 o'clock Met another friend, bath friends dis posed to dissipate, we all took a drink together.— Friends not at ail sober, had to fake each one by the arm to keep them steady Friends got very noisy, and I felt very quiet. Drank. 5 o’clock. Couldn't exacty understand how it was. Mixed up generally. Took both friends to my room. Friends very tight indeed—sorry to say it. drunk. Koom in a very confused state— bed very unsteady—waited till it came round right and put friends on it. Yes. 0 o'clock. Disreniember. I.etler from ilon Jn.tiun Hill. U. S. House of Representatives, \ Washington, Jan. 14 lirtil. j Editor Chron be Sent:—Dear Sir—I can not thank you too warmly for your prompt and gener ous defence of mp, against tin* malignant assaults of certain ultr.i partisan prin's of our Mate. I hope for the honor of human nature, that none of my assailants read the reported proceedings of Congress as published in the Globe. It may be that Modem mercury whose political messages contain about the same relative proportions of trutn to falsehood, as did Falstaff's “reconing” of bread to sack, ••but one-lialf pennyworth of bread Monday, the 31st of December, was a tumultu ous to-day in the House Members from the South and members from the North, appeared defiant of each other, and ali\e desirous to exhibit a dogged determination to j Did nothing to the spirit of con ciliation and compromise. Mr. Pryor offered the following resolution; Resolved, that any attempt to preserve the Union h* tween the Males of this Confederacy, by force, would be inn raetieable and destructive of li publican libcitv" and demanded the previ ous i^u-stion on its adoption. Mr. Stanton, of Ohio, moved to lay the resolu tion on the table, and called for the yeas and nays. t preferred an adjournment lest the other course might increase irritation. I moved an adjourn ment, saying “my object is to put a stop to all this resolution making business in the House, as it is fraught with nothing but mischief. Every resolution on the great subject, in my judgement, is unprofitable.” Mr. Ilindmsu said,“We are ready to meet this question.” Mr. Crawford asked for a vote on the resolut ion now; and des.red the withdrawal of my motion. I replied; "No, sir; I shall insist on my motion; and I w ill endeavor to prevent all other resolu tions of a like character coming in, either from one side or the other.” My object was well understood in the House— it was to keep out all exciting topics. Jt is true, that I did go to Mr. Pryor, and tell him that apart from ray objections to considering any such mere abstract questions. I thought tbe resolution imper fectly drawn, even to express what I belived to he his object. I stated that 1 was not opposed to the use of force by the national government, for the preservation of the Union between tho States, when u«-J against mobs standing in opposition to the execution of the Fugitive Slave Law, or law less and murderous bands of robbers, such as John Blown lead into Virginia. I insisted that such use of force, was not incompatible with the rights of the States. Mr. Pryor agreed with me, and de sired a iiji-mber from New York, standing by, or myself, if opportunity occurred, to offer the ne cessary amendment, qualifying the resolution — The Globe *lieu <inotes me as follows: “Mr. Ilili said, that having learned that the resolution would be modified, if not laid on tie- table, he would, for the present, vote in the negative, out of respect to the mover.” “Mr. H. subsequently said, that inasmuch as consent cannot he obtained to modify the resolu tion. he would vote for laying it on the table, as he would, in future, upon all resolutions on the same subject coming from individuals.” By this I meant that I desired to leave all questions bear- ingonthe peculiar state of the country to the Committee of Thirty-three, exclusively. Bv reference to the reported proceedings of ;he House,it will appear that I have adhered to my pa -ific purposes of excluding, as far a3 in my pow er lay, all unnecessary and exciting resolutions, arresting sectional debate. I am satisfied with my action I only regret that I have not always been successful. I have tried to pursue I hat course that I believ ed would h;st promote an adjustment of the un happy strife now raging between a divided peo ple. I have not played false to the convictions of my deliberate judgement. While I hope for the approval of the people I represent, I must be my own judge as to the best mode of serving them.— ! It is far easier to yield to a clamor, than to follow the dictates of reason and conscience. 1 know ot no reward comparable to self approval. If even now it be a crime to labor earnestly to preserve the Constitutional Union of the States, jet me, by my own confession, be adjudged guilty. But I am far from seeking its perpetuation by the subjugation of seceding States. My dev otion to Georgia makes me unwilling to see her take to precipitate flight, fiom the Union, before all honorable efforts to restore and preserve if, have been tried and tailed. She is a great State, and uiay well afford to rest in security upon li„r nK’litv to protect herself whenever the exigen cy arrives. I trust t you liberally for you best interests. As lor tbe carping* of petty demagogues. I re gard them no more than the yelpings of so many curs Incomprehensible as it is to them, I want nothing at the hands of people or rulers—and that places me on nu eminence beyond the reach of their detraction. A generous adversary will give me tbe benefit of this explanation. 1 shall see who is capable of such magnanimity. Very respectfully, Your friend, ___ Joshua ITill. Resignation.—We are informed by Captain \V. D. (smith, of the Second Regiment U. S. Dra goons. that he has forwarded his resignation to the Ijresi lent of the United States. Captain Smith js a Georgian—a native of Augusta we believe—and look this Kiep promptly upon the secession of his Mate from the 1m - i Verdict mf the Working Mra of New fork Anti-Coercion, etc. I An enthusiastic demonstration of the workingmen of Now York eiry, against coercing the Southern States, Ij was held in ihat city oil Tuesday night. The at lend- i unci' was very large, and the sentiments expressed | and resolutions passed w rn of the must decided ehnr- aoter. and show decidedly that the working men of the great c >mm»reial metropolis have a due conception of the value of tbe South, as the great market for their good* and manufactures. South of that point, i; is to be hoped a lik-* estimate, at least, will he innnifc ed of tiie value of the Southern market. As a jiroof of the soundness of the views held by the New fork woiking men, we nnnCx-thcir resolutions, as follows: Resolved. That we regard the present movement ot everal of the Southern States, in resuming the powers they delegated to the General Government, as an ef fort to preserve our (’onstitntion from being overthrown by Abrah.am Lincoln, as his party platform requires and demands him to do. /Wfi.l. That we are for the Union—the Union in* oar fathers; for tin* Constitution—the glorious charter of our liberties, ns expounded by the re cogniz'd nutleirity, uuou the basis of equal jus lie.', liberty at, J immunities to all the citizens of ail the States. Rewired, That, believing that the people of the Southern States are. and ever have been, content to re main in this Union under the Constitution ns originally designed, we d • epiy sympathize with them j,, their un willing resistance to .-i :i incoming Administration, which by a perverted and unauthorized construction of the Constitution tend* to destroy their peace, wel fare and happiness. Rewired, That we are firmly and unalterably op posed to any and every attempt on the part of the Gov ermnent or the people ot the North to coerce the Southern States, or anv of the them, into submis sion to t!n> will of the majority of the North, when that will has been authoritatively deelnr •d bv the Supreme Court to be in opposition to the true construction of the Constitution of the United states. Resolved, That we will, by all proper and legitimate means, oppose, discountenance and prevent the Re publican paity from making any aggressive attempt, under the pica of “enforcing the laws." and “preserv ing tiic Union," upon the rights of the Southern States, believing as we do that any such attempt can • •nly result in a protracted and destructive civil wnr to attain an end which that party can readily and peace ably accomplish bv abandoning tbc-ir hostility to the South, and declaring their willingness to abide by the Constitution, as inteipreted by the Supreme Court, and accepted by all conservative men of the country. Rcsolred. That wo regard the Republican party, which, to use the language of Jefferson, “lias wriggled itself into power, under the auspices of morality,” as embodying the policy that Great Britain lias pursued for a quarter of a century in endeavoring to equalise the r ires on this continent —to reduce white men ton forbidden level with negroes, and thus overthrow not • mly the Union, lint destroy- • I"'.,a;, 1 ir ''H'v./i^eWfitfoli irom an unwilling despot ; and if wiv additional ev idence be! needed to show the alliance of the so call- •d Republican party with the monarchists of Great Britain to dissolve the Union, regardless of its fearful consequences, it can be found in the faet that it, recognized leaders in Congress have de liberately rejected Senator Crittenden’* compro mise. although it is well known that it docs not grant the South her full, just and equal right* under the Constitution. Rewired, 4'liat we demand that our representatives and servants (and not our rules, as some ignorantly style ihem.i both in our national and State Leg islatures, sliuil ?:l once initiate movements for a peaceable solution of our difficulties, so that civil war may he avoided, and the wheels of business may again begin to move, and remunerating labor return to thousands now out of employment, and suffer ing from the stubborn refusal of the Republican party to graut!' stitution. Rrsolred, That Southern slaveholder*, as truly said by Thomas Jefferson, are “the natural allies of North ern laborers;” that tho voices of Southern slave- holders in Congress have repeatedly saved them from oppression : that the votes of tne slaveholder Jackson preserved the Northern mus.se* from a mon eyed oligarchy which threatened to reduce them to that slavery to capital which tends to make “tbe ieh richer, and the poor poorer;” and we regard he Republican party, under the guise of freedom fortln* negro asaiming at essentially the same objects, and animated by the saute spiiit of hostility to the people. ... /it'snivel. That wo, the working ir.cn of X«*w ^ <>rk, I liervby pledge outftelvea to <>;»poao the lititinh anti- ala very party in every legitimate way ; that we feel with Borrow that Great Britain hoH conquered the North with the pen, having abolitionized the prees and the pulpit, and while the heel of her opprcHidrn is upon white men in Ireland, England and Scotland. Uhe tries to divert attention from her sin at home by false philanthropy for negroes in America ; and heliev ing our Southern brethren now engaged in the hoi cause of American libel ty, and trying to roll buck avalanche «»i Britishism, we extend to tl.tm our heart felt sympahty, and whent hey .shall need it to resist un just oppression, we believt* we shall not be found want ing in more effectual support. llcxo/rnl, That the State Legislature he respectfully to eonvene flic people of the State in Con ▼#ntior,for th#p irpose <.f securing an expression of ! puoue M iisiuienc upon the new and startling issue* j which n few weeks nave so rapidly evolved, anti the | Chair is directed to appoint « Committee of live gen tlemen to present these resolutions and this lequest to the Legislature. We Copy the following from til lit able and true Southern paper the Nashville Union and American. Other papers in Tennessee lake similar ground, and among the ablest and mot** patriotic D the Arnlanrhc publisiied at Mfjjipbj*. We have, no doubt ot the fl" mil action of the people of the volunteer State. The course of on? of hei Senators, Ex-Gov. Johnson, lias been condemned w ith great unanimity by her people. But n few months since Iiis popularity was at its me ridian height. Lured off, by whatever cause, he ml voirnted in tie* Si-nate, the doctrine of coercion, and all his fame—his (tone strong hold upon the affections of the people has sunk in gloom and is broken forever. This shows what the patriotic sons of Tennessee think of the issue that is betore ns. Her Convention will put, her by the side of Georgia and her other South ern sisters who will be standing in the attitude of in dependent sovereigns, beckoning her to come to them mi l feel the pride, tho strength ami glory, «f being ex empt from th*e nightmare pressure of an anti-slavery and despotic Union. We have no tears of Tennessee. If we feel anxious for a time, lest she might wait too long, our solici tude is over. The touo of her pape rs, and the words of her representative men, inspires the conviction that she will lihk her dustin' with those Southern States who will bear no longer the puuic faith of their North ern confederates. THE Til T. IS CAST. South Carolina, Florida. Alabama and Mississippi have already dissolved their connection with the Fed eral Union. Georgia, Louisian nn and Texas will do the same before the end of this month. What then is Tennessee to do? Her interests, her honor, her safe ty requires that she should co-operate with her inure Southern sisters. It is more than probable that Vir ginia, North Carolina and Kentucky will soon link their destinies with the other States South ot them. Such a course, however, is not so imperative with them* Virginia and North Carolina both have an Atlantic coast, and their trade with that of Kentucky is not so entirely with the c otton States as is that of Tennessee. When Georgia and Louisiana secede, all of nur pro ducts which have hitherto found a market in the South will be hemmed in. We cannot expect to find a s*alc for our produce East. West, or North of us. We must go with the South. Our all imperatively de mands this of us, and we may as well at once deter mine that their fate and ours shall one. It is too late to monni over the dissolution of the Union. Hatred of the South and her institutions has forced it upon us. Whatever more Northern slaveholding States may decide to do, we cannot consent to become an inferior appendage of a govemnment whose deter- j initiation is “the ultimate extinction” of slavery, and j ns a consequence tlio placing of the white and black j rac es upon the same footing that they occupy in the j Northern States. Southern men and woman can nev- j ersubmit to such degradation. Their pride revolts J with horror at the bare thought, and tne interest ot j all classes in the Smith depends upon the product* of s'ave labor. Without the labor of the negro in the j States South of us the,farmer die mechanic, llu* iner ! * nnin, me prou’ssionnJ man :n Tennessee, would HCfciit , be reduced to starvation* It is the money paid for j cotton which buys everything that we produce and j sell. Without cotton we should be in a worse corn li- i tionthan the beggars of Italy. It in idle to delay. We must co-«iperate with the States South of on.— A writ* fa True Democrat.

Tf is company has received orders from the Gov ernor and Commander-in-chief, to march to St. Simon’s Island, and will, it is presumed, in connection with other force, be employed iu fortifying and defend ing the approaches to Darien and Brunswick. They will leave to-night, 23d inst. with full rates and a bnt- t« ry of 6 guns. Every member of the gallant corps, though many of them an* deeply imm.-rsed in private business, responded willingly and heartily to their country’s call, and a few only will be left behind, in «... j cases where two or more would be taken from one tli her just lights under the Con- I business establishment. A jokeistold by one of our friends, a member of the corps, who has the lin k to be a man of wealth, and past the age when military service is required by law. lie said he should match, unless there wits if rent eppo siftr/n upon the part of his family, in which case, lie would send a son ns his substitute. When he g«»t home, and spoke of the requisition, his wife told him she should blush for licr husband if he devolved upon another, any public duty of the kind which he cculd perform himself; and so lie marches to-night a high private to the tent, the spade the trench—the sentry*fl lonely sound, and all the mils, if not the dangers of war. May a good Urovidence march with him. Such is the spirit of our Georgia matrons—such the patriotism of our Georgia fathers. May God bless the company —give them plenty of health and wholesome exor cise, fine oysters, fat ducks, the best offish and crabs, and may they never meet a foe, or whip him so bad they shall never sue him again.— Telegraph 23d. Montgomery, Jan. 23.—The Convention passed nn ordinance annulling the military commissioners, anil authorizing the Legislature to dll vacancies created ;yv I by the ordinance. An ordinance was also diseased authorizing the Governor to remove the arms and munitions of war from the Mount Vernon Arsenal, and distribute them in the cities and towns through out the State. The Senate passed a bill requiring free negroes to leave the State before next January, or they will be sold lattdole of Hen. From the Paris letter of a Ne*v Orleans paper we extract the following amusing anecdote: I ,-.ni not sure that the French pianist, Henri H*-rz, ever really visited Caliaforuia during iiis trip several years ago, through our country : but an amusing story, whose scene is laid in the Gold en State, is told ot him, and is worth repeating. He had announced a concert (so says tho anec dote) in one of the newest cities of Caiiafomi.t. and had been obliged to seul to San Francisco to procure a property necessary to tho entertsin- Tiie new ami independent existence upon which both Florida and Georgia will probably soon enter, will afford ail ex cellent opportunity for negotiations on this subject, without interference from any quarter whatever. They can arrange the matter to suit themselves, and no one can rightfully say nay. The public debt of Florida may be re garded as, perhaps, the leading obstacle ment, viz: a piano.

The spoken entertainment seemed to please the audience, and everybody ex cept the artist, had quite forgotten all about the piano, when its arrival was announced. A uism tier of stout men carried the instrument into the hall, and placed it on the platform It was a three c ur.ered or “grand" piano, and Herz. promising himself to astonish these simple and easly satis fied inhabitants of the Pacific coast, seated him self on an empty whiskey keg.

Each State, as it secedes, will elect delegates to the Convention to be held at Montgomery, and will present the Federal Con stitution as the basis of the new Union. Tbe Federal Constitution, with (he Southern interpre- KUtuii, n IM ...•wit, fy- wI—Lm I vention at Montgomery will speedily adopt that instrument and then proceed to organize the Gov ernment under it.

At a Urturc day, should the project as sume anything of a serious practical aspect we shall recur to it, and discuss the whole matter in detail. At present we throw out only such reflections as occur to us on the first blush of the question.— i$at\ The Nruthrm I'onfcdrrnry. Jackson, Miss. Jan. "JO—The committee on the Confederacy, in the Mississippi Legislature, have reported resolutions providing for a Southern Confederacy, and the establishment of a provision al government for the seceding States. The com mittee proposes that the Southern Convention be hell in Montgomery, on the 4th of Februrary. “A Black Mas ”—The Argus, published in the city of Drogheda, Ireland, tells its readers that “the •lection hy tiie Northern S'ates of America of a blank man ns a President, lias at length brought about a state of feeling between the Southern and Northern States, which for a longtime has been feared, and which threatens to end in the disruption of the Amer ican Union.

One of John Brown’s sons was on board.

A Grntrlul ((urea, It is said of the late visit of tbe Aineri.’an Min ister to her M»iesty tbe Queen, at Windsor, that be was received most graciously, and that the Queen constantly displayed, in her conversation with him. the highest appreciation of the manner in which tbe Prince of Wales had been re eeived in the States.

Then tbeques- j tion is presented to the border slave States in a v, ry direct and simple matiner. Both sections present the same Constitution and form of government. Delaware, Virginia, Mary- Miid, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee, will have to decide whether they will take the same | Constitution with the Northern interpretation in a Union with Abolition States, or with the Southern interpetation and in a Union with slaveholding j States. When their decision is made it will be time j enough to make such changes in the Constitution ' as may he needed. It would bq manifestly tin- I wise and inexpedient to make such amendments, j until the whole South is represented in the new j government.

There were about seven or eight hundred un- : der arms in this city yesterday; besides whom, there were numbers of citizens ! **- pi-'o (k«;* •» — naan at* needed. The companies under arms were as follows: The. Augusta Independent Volunteer Battalion—six companies, viz: Richmond Hussars, Cnpt. T. P. Stovall; Washing ton Artillery, Capt. I. P. Girardey, with six pieces and caissons; Clinch Rifles, Capt. J. A. Platt; Oglethorpe Infantry, (apt. J. O. Clarke; Irish Volunteers, Capt. J. II. Hull; Montgomery Guards, Capt. J. F.

Coercincr the South —It is refreshing, at »time like this when almost the entire North seem tv have been “given over to believe a lie," to find some show of reason in a Northern journal. Still more pleasant is it to find one that evidently understands the true position of things, and dares not. to speak its mind Buck an one is the New York Express. as the following from its issuo of last Friday wiil show: Tho opacity and stolidity of the Republican Press are now re-displayed in their fr*sh cry for “coercion, ’ “fight,” “drums,” “gunpowd- r,” “bombs,” “shells,” Arc. Now all this would have been sense, if any of it were practicable. Ilultlu stolidity ofthe Republican Press consists in the tdi- ncity. that the North tren the uniitil North (and its very far from being united.) could bombard or shell the Svuthin subjection. Tn-re is not only no prob ability, but no possibility 111 the tiling. Ten mil- ions of Anglo Saxons anywhere, are as invincible as the everlasting hills. English blood is rebel blood, incapable of subjection. We may fight ten years and end about where we began, 111 Treaties, somewhat of a kin to Crittenden’s proposition at iast, with stronger guarantees 011 our part, to sur render Fugitive Slaves, and not to rob Southern masters of their servants, when they travel among us, or to carry these servants off'on the Under ground Railroads—with utter restrictions upon tiie circulation of the Northern Press in tlie Southern States. Such Treatii s as these will come after ten years fighting, 250,1,00 lives lost, and billions ot property * estroyed. The next blunder of the Republican Press is, iu imagining the South cannot feed itself.—because just now, cotton paying better than corn, corn has been neglected to raise cotton. The Northern counties of the Southern States, Louisiana exeep- ed, are among the best grain growing countries in the world. Such is the advance of tiie South am sprinHover ..nr* «l.»t tbvugti there is jnst now a temporary deficit of food, yet in February even, certainly in March, the people can hezin to get something to eat from the produce of the hot spring sun.

So long as dis ease prevails, and it is the lot of nnmiuity thet it a! ways will, so long will the suffering seek for the best remedy which science and skill have discovered for their relief.

Neverthless, even such Journals as the Times now chime in which the Courier, for "force, "Force,” “Force!” The Senator from Illinois, too, Trumbull, is talking of “Force,”— and he no doubt echoes tiie unanimous, sentiment, as if “Force," however beautiful iu theory, were possible iu practice,—as if it were statesmanlike, to ignore big, pregnant facts, and to run after theories.

Our despatch announces the surrender of the Arsenal at Augusta by the commander of the U. S. troops, in response to a demand from the Gov ernor, backed hy seven hundred State troops. The demand was made on Wednesday, when the com mander asked to be allowed twelve hours for de liberation and. it is supposed, to communicate with the authorities of Iiis government at Wash ington, which was allowed. Yesterday the demand was renewed and the Arsenal promptly surren dered. Thus every position held by the Federal Gov ernment withiu the limits of the State of Geor gia, is now in the hands of the ioeal authorities, and no blood shed in the change. Being no long- or a member of the confederation, it is not to he expected that we would submit, otherwise than temporarily, to tho occupancy of any portion of our territory by the military of a foreign power. It would be inconsistent with our safety and true policy, while the State holds herself ready to ac count to tho full amount of its value for ail pro perty thus taken into possession under tho ne cessities of the time. No good can be accomplished by tb*3 Federal Government in continuing to hold her military posts in the seceding States. It cannot bring those States back iuto the. Union, nor even enforce the federal laws upon an nn*filling people. Should they remain out permanently, the torts will be ta ken at every cost, and should peace he restored and the Union reformed, they will promptly be remanded to their original status, and, no doubt, in a much better condition than we found them.
