Being satisfied that liis d.-moul was to be evaded and refused, and feeling tliai he was under the highest obligation to the citiz Mis of this State to protect them, witii the least possible delay against all such roberies j and lawless seizure* by other States, he felt it liis duty I i? he was fully-authorized by the law of Nations and the plainest principles of natural justice, to do, to make re prisals by seizing a sufficient amount of property be- ■ongiegto citizens of the State of New Y'ork, fully to indemnify the citizens of this State who hud been rob osd of their property, by compelling its return and de- erringpther offenders from like atrocities upon our •itizeus in future. The Governor does not ask New fork to pay for the inxskets as she lias no right to com- lel our citizens to sell them to her, but he demands that the guns be returned to flieir owners. He there fore orders such seizures as will, it is reasonably sup iosed, produce this result. We have said this is justified by the law of Na ture. Two children are seen playing together. A. has an apple and B. has a toy’. U. seizes A’s apple and takes it from him, without ju-t excuse Y. immediately seizes B’s. toy, and holda it all Ii. gives up his apple. There being no one present with authority to do justice betweeu them, nature iictates the remedy for the injustice. So it is be- eween States. There being no arbiter between hem witii power to compel the wrong-doer to do justice, the law of nature becomes the law cf Na tions, which authorises the injured State to redress its own wrongs, by seizing the property of the of- ending State, and holding it till its own property is returned. In this case, the property seized in New-Y'ork, was the private property of individual citizens of ieorgia, and the Governor seizes the private pro perty of citizens of New York as reprisal, aud will hold it till the property of our own citizens is returned to them. The following is a copy of the order issued to Col. Jackson, directing tbo seizure of the vessels; EXECUTTVE DEPARTMENT. I Mille jgeville Georgia, Feb. 5, IStH. jj Half past !). P. M. I have demanded of the Governor of New fork the prompt delivery to my Agent, for D.

The demand has been delivered to j aim. He has had a reasonable time and lias made no reply. T am determined to protect the persons ind property’ of the citizens of this State against aii j <uch lawless violence, at all hazards. In doing so, I will, if necessary, meet force by force. I feel it my duty in tnts case to order re prisal. Y'ou will therefore direct Col. Lawton to order out sufficient Military force, aud seize, and nold, subject to my order, every ship now in the aarhor of Savannah, belonging to Citizens of New York. When the property of which our citizens -lave been robbed, is returned to them, then the ships will he delivered to the citizens of New fork, who own them. JOSEPH E. BROWN. Col II. R Jackson, Aid-dc-Camp, Savannah, Ga. After the above order had been issued, Gov. Brown received from Gov. Morgan, the evasive re ply, by telegraph, which is alluded to in Gov. Brown's letter below, purporting to doubt the authenticity of Gov. Brown’s demand, and deny ing its official form, i!Co. Ou the 8th iust, Col. Jackson caused the follow ing named vessels, registered in New York, and belonging to citizens of that State, to be seized, to-wit: the barks “Adjuster” an I “D. Golden Hurray,” brigs “YY r . R. Kihby” and “Golden Lead,” and the schooner “Julia A. Hallock.” These vessels will he returned to the New Y ork own •rs, as soon as New York returns the guns which were unlawfully seized by her police, to their Georgin own ers. Since the seizure of the vessels, Gov. Brown has mailed to the Governor of New Y'ork, the fol lowing communication, which speaks for itself without further comment: EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, ) Miu .edgevillc, Georgia, Feb. 8, 18(11. j To his Excellency EJiciu D. Morgan, Governor of n the State of .Veto York, Albany, N. I': Sir : Y'ou are doubtless aware that the Telegraph j and Newspapers ot the city of Now Y'ork, ! on the 22nd d3y of last month, conveyed to the j country the intelligence that certain boxes of I muskets, shipped for Savannah, were, ou that - day, seized by the police of the city of New Y'ork, j while on board the steamer Monticello. On Sat urday the 2nd day of the present month. Messrs D. C- Hodgkins & Sons, ot the city of Macon, who are citizens of this State, and demand and are entitled to be protected by it. filed in this otfiee satisfactory evidence of the fact that two hundred of said muskets were their property, and iv» re seized by (he police of the city of New Y'ork, without warrant or legal authority irom any Court, and were taken from said ship ami deposited in the State Arsenal on Seventh Avenue in said city. It is understood that the members of the police of New Y'ork who made the seizure were not ap pointed by the Mayor and Council of the city, hut were appointed either directly or indirectly by your Excellency, and act under the immediate authority of the State. In this case, therefore, the citizens of this State have not only been robbed of their property by persons acting in official capacity under the authority of the State of New Y'ork, hut one ot the public Arsenals bo- 1-mging to that State has been made the reposi tory ot the plunder. Feeling it to he my duty to protect the persons and property of the citizens of this State against the lawless attacks or sciz ures of the officers of other States, as soon as the evidence in the case had been laid before me, 1 I addressed to your Excellehcy on Saturday, the second day of this month, by Telegraph, a letter, which I was afterwards informed by the operator of the Telegraph line at Albany, had been de livered to your Excellency; which letter was in the following words, viz . EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, ) Milledgeville, Georgia, February 2d, 1861. f His Excellency, Gov. Monos*, Albany, X. \'. Sir: I have before me satisfactory evidence of the fact that two hundred muskets belonging to 1>. C. Hodgkins A. Sons, citizens of this State, were placed on board the ship Monticello, at New York, lor Sa vannah, and were seized by the police of that city, on or about the twenty-second of January last, and taken from the ship, and are now detained in the State Arsenal in the city. As Governor of Georgia, I here by demand that the guns he immediately delivered, under vour order, to G. B Lmnar, of New York., who is' hereby appointed my agent to receive them, j I trust no similar outrage may be perpetrated in fu ture. . ....

Feeling that your Excellency bad bad snffi- | eieut time to enquire ot yonr police officers as to the j character of the seizure complained of, if nnantiior-i izeii by yon, aud to direct the {delivery to the M ->r- i Ih.dgkins of their property, or to indicate yon: willingness to do so on tin! production ot evidence ol ownership, if you were not satisfied on thut point; and feeling that the outrage upon the rights of fit-.zeus ot i this State, was so great as to admit of n-. unnecessary delay on my part, at half-past 9 o'clock, P. M - '-u Tuesday, the -'th instant, 1 issued an order to Col. Henry it- Jackson, aid-dr camp, in the city ot Savan nah, instructing him to call out, through Col. Lawton, a sufficient military force, and to make reprisal by the seizure of all ships then in the harbor of Savau- i „ab, belonging to citizens of the State ol New York.; In obedience to this order. I aui informed that be lias seized the following vessels, and will hold them sub j lect to illv order, to-wit: j Barks, “Adjuster,” and “D. Colden Murray. — j Brigs ’W. K. Kihby," aud “Golden Lead,’ aud Schooner ‘Julia A. Hallock.'’ . Since the issuance of tiie above mentioned order, 1 have received a telegram signed by your Excellency, in which you acknowledge the receipt of the dispatch nent by me to you, aliening, m* you are say, that certain arms had been retained in New York. Y'ou further say,of my dispatch, that “:ls grave char- quisita tStgive to a demand of this character “official form.” ; A Jjaffthy official correspondence in this case is iic^Ht rlnvited nor desired.

If the property seized as reprisal belongs to cit izens of New Y'ork who are friendly to the cause of justice and truth, and the equal rights of the people of the Southern States. I shall regret the inconvenience to which they may he exposed. I cannot forget, however, that tny first duty is to protect the citizens of this State against the law less violence of the officer? or citizens ot other Sta'es. If in so doing, incidental injury should! be done to orderly and law-abiding citizens of such offending Slate, for just and full indemnity, they must look to their own Government, which liar brought the injury upon them.

Since the above was in type, on the i)th inst.. at !) o’clock, P. M , Governor Brown received from G. B. Lamar, his agent in New Y’ork, the follow ing dispatch: “New York, February 9th, 1861. To His Excellency, Gov. Brown: The Arms have been put at the command of the owners here; please release all vessels. G. B. LAMAR.” Upon the receipt of the above dispatch, the Governor immediately issued the following order to Col. Jackson : “EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, ) Miiiedgeville, Feb’v. 9th, I-til. > 9 o’clock. P. M. Y I have just received a telegram from G. B. La mar. my agent in New York, stating that the Arms have been put at the commands of the owners. The object for which the seizure was made having been accomplished, and the rights of the citizens of this State having been vindicated, you will or der the vessels seized to be immediately released.

Brown then returned to Mr. Lamar at New Y’oik, the followieg dispatch : EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, \ Milledgeville, Feb. 9, 1861. j 9 o’clock, P. M. The object of the seizure having been ac complished, and the rights of onr citizens having been vindicated, I havo ordered the release of the vessels. JOSEPH E. BROWN. To G. B. Lamar, New York. Thus the affair has liapply terminated ; and by a bold, decided stand taken by the Governor, the rights of our citizens have been protected, aud will, we trust, be respected in future. Tlios e who do not respect our rights must be taught to respect them. The Conniiiiasioifl IVcwspnin-r. YVe havo published on the outside of this paper thp address of Wm. M. Brown, Editor and pro prietor of the Constitution, to the readers of that paper. In that address he announces the fact that he is about to discontinue the publication of the Constitution in tho City of Washington, aud in tends in a few weeks to ro-commence its publics tion in the Southern Republic, about to he formed ot the Seceding States. The Constitution has been an able and iaithful exponent of the rights ot the Southern States, and in that capacity has en countered the hitter hostility of Secretary Holl and General Scott. Washington city at present is not a sale place for an Editor that faithfully and boldly exposes the conduct of these two officers Men iu Washington city now have to write and speak at the point of the bayonet^ and under the muzzles of Gen. -Scott’s cannon. The city of Wash ington, once the proud capital of freemen, is now a Military camp, where Black Republican cohorts, are about to inaugurate a Black Republiban ty rant by Military force, and thus establish a mili tary despotism, and of course it is now no place fora Southern rights newspaper. YVe hope tin r-ditor of the Constitution will scon re-conimence the publication of ins paper in a more congenial clime, and under more favorable auspices. Tlir 1-sw ol ssritnaaix. As it has become necessary for the Governor to make reprisals on New York to protect the citizens ol this State, it may not he an inappropriate time to rcte, to the law of nations upon this subject. Y’attel in his law of nations, which we believe is rec ognised as the standard work upon the subject, lays down the rules plainly. We make the following ex tracts from that work. "Repri- als are used between nation and nation, in order to do themselves justice when they cannot oth erwise obtain it. If a nation has taken possession ot what belongs to another—if she refuses to pay a debt, or repair an injury, or to give adequate satisfaction foi it—the latter may seize something belonging to tin- former, and apply it to her own advantage till she ob tains payment of wlmt is due to her, together with in terest and damages, or keep it as a pledge till she bar received ample satisfaction. In the latter ease it i.- ratlier a stoppage or a seizure than reprisals, hut they arc frequently confounded in common language. The effects thus seized on are preserved while there is any hope of obtaining satisfaction or justice; as soon ns that hope disappears, they are confiscated; anil then the reprisals are accomplished. If the two lia- ionst upon the ground of uuarrel, collie to an open rup ture, satisfaction is consi.iered r.s refused from the mo ment that war is declared, or hostilities commenced, and then also the effects seized may he confiscated." "In the same manner a sovereign demands justice, or makes reprisals, not only for his own concerns, bin also for those of his subjects, whom lie is bound to protect, and whose cause is that of the nation.” “ W e have observed above thut the wealth of the citizens constitutes a part of tiie aggregate wealth of a nation, that between State and State the private property of the- members is considered ns be longing to the body and is answerable for tin* debts of that body; whence it follows that in reprisals we seize on the property of the subject just as we would on tiiat of the State or sovereign. Everything that belongs to tiie nation is subject to reprisals whenevei it can be seized, provided it be not a deposit intrusted to the public faith.” “He who makes reprisals against n nation on the property of its members indiscriminately cannot he taxed with seizing the property of an innocent person for the debt of another, forin tlds ense the sovereign is to compensate those of his subjects on whom the re prisals fall; it is a debt of the State or nation, of which each citizen ought onlv to pay his quota.” “The individuals who by their actions have given cause for just reprisals, are hound to indemnify those on whom they fall, and the sovereign ought to com pel them to do it.” “In case of reprisals granted to our own subjects, n nation cannot complain that wc violate the public faith, in seizing on her people or her property; because we are under no other obligation to grunt security to that property anil those people than wlmt arises from a reasonable supposition that their nation will not in the first instance, violate, with respect to us or our subjects, the rales of justice, which nations ought to observe towards-each other. If she violate them we have a right to obtain satisfaction, nnd the mode of re prisals is more easy’, safe and mild than that of war.” The above extracts, from this high authority, show very clearly that a state or nation may justly make reprisals not only for injuries done by an other nation or State to the State, hut for injuries done to its citizens or subjects; and in making reprisals, that the State is not confined to the pub lic property of the offending S'ate, but may seize the private property of any citizen or subject ol such State; tor as between State and State, the property of all the citizens or subjects of each is considered as the property of the State, and is sub ject to be seized as reprisal. If the property of a private citizen is seized for the injury done by his Slate, he cannot look for indemnity to the State that made the seizure, but must look to his own State, for whose improper conduct the seizure was made, and his own State is bound to indemnify him. In the case under consideration there is, and from the nature of tiie case can be, no public property of the State of New York in Georgia which could he seized, as that State lias no ships or other pub lie property within the limits of this State, or which can at any time he found here. The only course which can he pursued when she has seized the property of this State, or its citizens, is to seize as reprisal the property of her citizens, and leave them under the law of nations to look to their own State for satisfaction. This is the course which has been pursued, and is according to the law of nations, no violation of the right of private pro perty. From YYnnliinglon. YY’ashiiigton, Feb. 7.—It is reported that Col.

He felt his pulse, looked at the sick man’s tongue, then thoughfully to the ceiling, and declared that there was an “ir repressible conflict” in his internal arrangements which had to be settled before the patient could recover- He put the nurses aud attendants on the routine prescribed, anJ after a few weeks of un remitting pain the sufferer died. South Carolina one of the old man’s children, put an end to liis agony, and the balance ol his large family are al ready setting up for themselves. Doctor Seward imagines that he can galvanise the body of death into a sort of artificial life, by singing a Union psalm over the remains of the deceased. He says he never feared for the Union—lie does’nt fear now, but that all will be well with tiie sick man, no matter if he is dead. He gives him a few months to lie iu th.! grave, when he is hopeful of a glorious resurrection. But in nil seriousness, did ever a man mauifest more cool impudence— more hollow hearted hypocrisy—than this same demagogue and despot, lie threw the Union into convulsions by liis quackery. aud when the servi ces of the bc-st and most skillful physician were powerless to restore it to its pristine health and no ble proportions, in steps this identical Doctor, with a modesty without paralell, and claims the the case as his own. With deadly dose of “irre pressible conflict,” lie has killed the patient in the best aud soundest part of liis system, and now claims to pursue the treatment, in the vain hope of restoring life and vigor to the whole body by re placing the amputated parts in their normal state and position. j The souud men at the North whoso much la-1 ment the condition of the country, should hold to a strict accountability the reckless authors of the ruin. If this fair fabric of a government has tot tered to its fall, let the true friends of the Union at the North, hold tho guilty parties responsible for the work—let them not forget Seward, and Greely aud Sumner and Ward Beecher, and their confed erates. Let the brand be put upon them, at once, and forever. In no way cau the peace of the two Republics he maintained, except by hurling from the high places of power and patronage, the brutal murderers of a once glorious Union. Let the true men of tho North avoid Seward and Greely. They are not to be trusted with even a decent petition The slime of the serpent is over them, and every thing they touch will die. Tire Wouthrru (’•ngrcM. The news from Montgomery can be comprised in a few words. The Southern Congress have adopted the Constitution of the United States; it is probably the best tiiat was ever formed by the wis dom of mail, and had the Southern Congress delib erated for months, nothing better could have been devised. Besides, that Constitution has the ad vantage of having seen tried ana approved, and our people have become accustomed to its require ments and have enjoyed its benefits, and those are important arguments iu its favor. YVe hear also that the Southern Congress have,initiated the prin ciple of frso trade with all the world. This we presume is conditional, that is, free trade with those nations who will reciprocate tho favor. It can hardly be supposed that our government would admit merchandise free of duty, from nations that taxed our products. Free trade to he fair and just must be mutual. YVe are rejoiced to hear that the Southern Cougress have made such an auspicious commencement, and trust their future delibera tions may continue to show equal wisdom and prudence.

Of the causes which have led to this decision it is unneces sary now to speak. It is sufficient to announce that by the judgment of our constituents they have been pronounced ample and sufficient. It is now a fixed and irrevocable fact. The separation is perfect, complete, and perpetual. (Applause.) The great duty is now imposed upon us of pro viding for these States, a government for the fu ture security and protection. We can and should extend to our sister States—our late sister State* —who are identified with us in interest, feeling and institutions, a cordial w elcome to unite with us in a common destiny—desirous, at the same SECOND DAY.

Alaba ma, Mississippi and Louisiana, invoking the favor of Mr. Stephens moved that 12 o'clock he the hour of} Almighty God, do hereby, in behalf of these States, or dering until the Congress shall see fit to appoint au- uain and establish this Constitution for the Provisional lu*r. (Agreed to.) ' I Government of the same, and to continue in force for me year from the inauguration of the President, or nn til a permanent Constitution or Confederation between said States shall he put iu oncration, whichsoever sliull first occur. The 7th section of the 1st article, declares that the importation of African negroes from any foreign coun try, other than slavehoiding States of tile United States is hereby forbidden, and Congress is required to pass siu h laws as shall effectually prevent the same. Section 2d, The Congress shall also have power to prohibit the introduction of slaves from any State not a member of this Confederacy.

All other portions of the Constitution are almost identical with that of tho Constitution ot the United States. meet other. (Agreed to.) Mr. Chestnut, of South Carolina, moved that the States be now called in tlieir regular order for resolu tions. The States were accordingly called by the Sec retary. Jlr. Memmiuger, of S. C., offered the following reso lutions : Resolved, That this Convention deem it expedient forthwith to form a confederacy of the States which have seceded from the Federal Union, and that a com inittee be appointed to report a plan of a Provisional Government for the same, upon the basis of the Gou- stititution of the United States. Resolved, That the committee consist of thirteen members, to he apdointud as follows : viz. The Chair man by tie* Convention, nnd two members to he nom inated by the delegation from each State.’ Resolved, That all propositions in relation to a Provisional Government be referred to said com niittce. Mr. Memmiuger said he proposed to have the com mittee appointed at this time, as it would probably take several days for them to mature the plan of a Provisional Government. His object was to give them time for deliberation and to facilitate the action of of the Congress. He would not, however, oppose a mo tion to defer the appointment of the proposed commit tee. Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, moved to strike out the word “Convention” wherever it occurred in the reso lutions and insert the word “Congress.” Mr. M emminger accepted the amendment. .Mr. Jlartow, of (Ja., offered the following as a sub stitute for Mr. Memmiuger’a resolutions : Whereas, the State*! of South Carolina, (reonria, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi ami Louisiana, have dissevered the political ties which bound them to the compact of the union, known as the United States of America, ami through duly authorized delegates are now assembled in a Congress of the Southern States, to provide for their common defence, to promote their general welfare, and establish an enduring govern ment, by which their rigiits .and social institutions may be forever maintained, looking to the concur rence of such of tlieir late confederates as are united with them by a community of interests, and. whereas, this Congress is empowered to establish a Provisional Government, until a permanent government can be or ganized, Therefore be it— Rctnh-rd, That the President do appoint a com mittee, fo consist of one deegate from each State, to report as soon as possible a form and plan of a Provisional Government, to he adopted by this Con- gress. Mr. Bartow proposed to amend his resolutions by appointing two members from each delegation instead of one.
