( StR:—On the filth day of tiiis month, I directed you to call out siiflicieni mili ary force »nd seize all ships then in the harbor of Savannah belonging to citizens of the State of New York The rea sons for the seizure were briefly stated in the or der. Citizens of this State had been robbed ot their property by ri,e police of New York acting under the authority of tliai State. I had demaml- id the restoiation of the prop rty to its owneis The Governor of that Stare had given an evasive reply, excepting tothe form of the demand sent by Telegraph; which clearly evinced Iiis disposition not to comply by ordering the restoration of the property It the protection of I Iiis ritate were not in such case, afforded to its citizens, it not only invited further aggressions upon their rights, but forfeited all just claim to their allegiance. 1 therefore had no alternative left, but to order re- prisots. Thi* is the mildest remedy provided not only by the law of nations, but by tlie law of na ture, for the redress of gr evanees between sever eign States, in the last resort Your prompt exe cution of the order, by the seizure ot five vessels owned by citizens of New Y’ork, met my highest approval. The seizure was made on the morning of the eighth of this month. On the evening of that day, I mailed to the Governor of New Y'ork, at Albany, a communication stating the fact of the seizure, with the reason- for it. and that I should hold the ships tiil jusiice should be done the injur ed citizeni of this 'state, by the restoration of the property of v.-hich they had been robbed by the police of the city of New York. On the ti'ght of the ninth inst . I received a Tel egraphic dispatch from Mr. G. B. Lamar, of New Y’ork, whom ! had appointed agent to receive the guns seized by tha police, if delivered tip by the authorities, stating that fhe guns were then at the command uf their owners, and asking me to re lease the ships At the sum- time I r j ceivt-d a dispatch from Mr. John Boston, the collector of the port of {savannah, stating that he had just been informed by Mr. Lamar, that the guus had been delivered up. Regretting the necessity which compelled me to resort to a means of redress which, while nat urat and'Pgal, might interrupt the commerce be tween the two Slat .«, and expose to temporary hardship, individual citizens ot New Yutk. whose property, under the law of nations, is sutiject to s<-iz ire f ir such outrages coin wtted by t he author ities of their own tSinie, though they may disap prove, ami condemn them; I was determined not to occupy the position of an aggressor, for a single hour. rSo soon therefore, as I was informed that the authorities ot New Y’ork had made reparation for the robbery, I immediately ordered the release of the vessels. Since that time, I directed Mr. Lamar to have file guns shipped to Savannah, that they might, be delivered to their owners. He now informs m>- that lie demanded their shipment, ami was inform ed by the Superintendent of the police of New Y’ork, that he. h ul change I his mind, and that he wou'J not now permit the guns lobe shipped, hut that lie would older further seizures of what he is pleased to call 'contraband articles.” Twelve days have passed siuce I mailed to the Governor of New Yutk the communication above referred to. and 1 have received no response from him. He Iih« nut ouly retnsed. therefore, to order tiie restoration of the property of which his polio had plundered onr citizens within the limits of his own State, on a demand sent by Telegraph, but li- has neglected and r- fused to answer a written communication upon the subject, sent to him through tiie regular medium ot the mail While I held possession of the vessels, my ( agent, was iiitorm.-d that tin- guns were a* the com mand of th-ir owners. Acting upon this assu- : ranee 1 ordered th-‘ release of the vessel*; aud my a gem is new informed that the officer in pos session of the guns has changed hts mind, aud that lie will not peimit them to he returned to then owitt rs These fact* show very clearly, that it i* the set tled policy of the authorities of New Yoik to sub | je -t our com tierce to a surveillance which we cau- | not with honor submit to, and to seize upon our j property, and plunder our citizens at their pleasure. Under these ciicinnstaiices. 1 feel that I. as the Executive of Georgia, would prove rcco ant to the high trust r posed in me by inv fellow citizens, were I to refuse to protect their rights against such unprovoked aggression, by all the means which the law of nations or the Constitution and laws oi this .State, have placed at my command. It therc- inre becomes inv duty again to direct you to call out such military liner as may he necessary for that purpo*©, and to renew the reprisals, by the seizure, as anon as practicable, of vessels iu the harbor of {favauuah, or other property in the city or elsewhere within your reach, b -longing to the {state, or to citizens of New Yoik. at least equal in value to double the amount of the original seiz- ur- s made oy you Y’oii will hold the property so seized, subject to iny order: and it will be released when tile gull* in question, (together with any other property >f our citizens which has been, or may in I lie in-an tune ha unlawfully seized, by the authorines o: New Y' irk ) are actually stripped from the harbor, and are beyond the reach or con trol of the p nice of the city of New York, or the authorities of that state.

Bel-Air, Ga.. Feb. 21, Itflil. Howto secure Independence.—To secure independence, the practice of simple econ omy is all that is necessary. Economy requires neither superior courage nor em inent viittie, it. is satisfied with ordinary energy, and the. capacity of average minds. Economy, at bottom, is but the spirit of order applied in the administration of do mestic affairs; if means management, reg ularity, prudence and the avoidance of waste. The spirit of economy was ex pressed by our divine Master in these words: “gather up the fragments that re main, so that nothing may be lost” His omnipotence did not disdain the small things of life; and even while revealing his infinite power to the multitude, he taught the pregnant lesson of carefulness of which all stand so much in need. Econ omy also means the power of resisting present gratification for the purpose of se curing a future good; and in this light it represents the ascendnacy of reason over the animal instincts. It is altogether dif- fernt from penuriousness; for it is economy that can always best afford to be generous. It does not make money an idle, but re gards it as a useful agent. As Dean rfivift observes, “we must carry money in the head not. in the heart.” Economy may he styled the daughter of prudence the sister of Temperance, and the mother of liberty. It is eminently conservative of character, of domestic happiness, and social well being. It allays irritation and produces content. It makes men lovers of pub ic order and security. It deprives the agitator of his stock in trade by re moving suffering, and renders his appeals to class-hatred comparatively inocuous. When workmen, by their industry and frugality, have secured their own inde pendence, they will cease to regard the sight of others well-being in tho light of wrong inflicted on them-elves; and it will no longer be. possible to make political capital out of their imaginary woes.—Lon don Quarterly licriew.

CHILLS AND FE VER!!—One of tiie greatest remedies tiint has ever been laid before the public fur Fever and Ague, and which have received ihe highest encomiums from the press and the people, is DR. J. HOSTETTERS CEL EBRATED BITTERS. Who would endure the tor tures arising trout this terrible disease, when it can be „o easily cured ? Who would endure sleepless nights, burning fevers and icy chills alternately, when a rem- dy eau be obtained for 11 mere trifle? And yet how many families linger out n painful existence under this deadly blight, aud nothing but gulp down quinine, until it becomes as common as daily meals, and yet thev are not relieved. None but the foolish and week would hesitate to procure these valuable Bitters, and save themselves intense ugonj. Sold by ail druggists. For sale by GRIEVE &. CLARK, and HERTY A HALL. 40 41.

Up tothe present tune the anus seized by the New Y’ork I’olice, have failed to come to hand, or even to he delivered into the possession of the agent of the State in New York.

The Since Trade.—In Iris admirable speeeh before the Virginia Convention, on Monday, says the Ricu- mornl Lh-patch, Mr. Henning, ihe Commissioner limn Georgia, thoroughly exploded the silly invention that the South intends or desires a revival of the African s,ave trade, lie said that it such a trade was begun, il was impossible to say wuere it would end, and tlmt the Cotton Slates hud m> idea of being swamped by African barbarians. If Virginia was not satisfied on tuis point, then, said MY. B- nuiug, let her send Com missioners to Montgomery aiid obtain stipulations to that effect from the new Confederacy, The .SourHKRV Houses.—We have taken a little pains to make inquiry, and wa find that most ot the houses iu New York engaged in the southern tiade, have stood up well under tiie financial pressure. A nuiubei are, of course, mid. r extensions, but we do not kuow of what may be called a bad failure among ih in. And what is belter still, the le/idino soul hern houses are firm yet, wtnle leading western houses have gone try tho boaid. And these houses have maintained tln ir credit, directly in the face of the most bittei and unrelenting hostility against I hem. Not only have the organs of the -Republican” press trieu to break them down, but malicious stories hav<’- be.-ii invented to affect their credit and depreciate iheir paper. In the face ol all, however, they have weathered the gale .-ticcesslnlly. Two caus-s have doubtless contributed to this result. First, these houses have generally a high sense of meicantile honor; and secondly, they had a pride in maintaining their position, if for no other reason than to stop the sneers uf the “He pub.icsns” against the South. We are glad to say tins has been done. Thank fortune, the fiist of the leading houses that have fallen are those wliohavi- made themselves conspicuous in their auuse of the Mouth. We know it would have peiased the “Republicans” mightily if some two or three prominent southern houses, which have been tiie paiticular object of their hatred, had failed But they have not been accommodated, and we have reason to believe they will not be. We would, however say to our southern friends that they should do ail they can for their creditors iu New Y’ork aud especially for their true friends. We hear that collections are improving, and we trust they will continue to do so. If you cannot seud ail your indebtedness send part. Mend halt, or 1(1, or 3 1, or 20, or even 10 per cent. In such trying times as these, a small amount of ready money frequently goes a great nays. At all events, let creditor and debtor assist each other all they can, aud they will both think the better of each other alter the storm is over—Day Book.

ADDRESS OfGenl. J. W.A. MANFOKD. Commissioner of Georgia, before the Texas Convention, 4tfi Feb lMlil. Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Conven tion . The State of Georgia has specially deputed me to announce to your honorable body that she has. iu the exercise of her sovereignty, formally and solemnly abrogated and annulled the ordinance by which she became a member ot the Federal Union. In making this announcement, 1 deem it unnecessary to enter into a detailed exposition of the causes which have impelled her tothis corns ot action. I shall therefore, content myself with briefly adverting to the fact, that her Northern Confederates have, for many years, pretermitted no opportunity of annoying her upon the subject of negro slavery, until emboldened by her pas forbearance, they have publicly proclaimed tlieii determination of waging an unceasing WAifare against its further extension and longer toleration The explicit avowal of this determination by a party whose increased strength and irccnt eleva tion to power have placed iu their hand* the means of carryii g this threat into execution, presented to Georgia the alternative of either assuming n position which would place her beyond th" con trol of those who bad unjustly refused to recog nize her equality in the common Territories and the right ot pioperty in slaves,or of tamely sub mitting to the inauguration of a policy studiou*lv designed to overthrow an i: arit.uiiop inseparably interwoven with her social organization and in disioensably necessary to ihe advancement of her material interests and prosperity. Never bnt • me. since her colonization, has she been i-aiied on Iu decide a question so vast and momentous in its consequences—ai.d zoic, as in the days of Minis terial oppression, she has not hesitated to pro nounce tor freedom and independence. For the purpose ot surely and effectually accomplishing this object, h e has unconditionally revok- d ihe powers which she had delegated to oiltcs in trusi for specific ends, and resumed the unrestrained exercise of her sovereignty I rejoice to know that Georgia stands not solitary ami alone in the performance of this h roic art. Others of her si*- ter States have for like cause acted in like manner. {Some have preceded aud others It ‘ve followed to 1 action, ami I trust, one and yet another will con tinue to follow, until ail are embraced in the same family group, and placed under the. protecting icgis of that Coiistiiution w hich w e all have h-v.-d so well, and s ill love, hut w lm-h. alas! w e have in vain|tricd to save troin the .-aci iligions Ii nd* uf the ruth leas di sp< dlt r. It is. hnwewr, not my ptn- pose to recall the pa*t, or to recite the wrongs I which you have suffered, or to suggest their tii- 1 ting remedy These have, in ill especial in inner, been the subj -ct matt, r of your deliberation*; an I you have maturely considered them, and have de ei 'ed them as became wise am! patriotic men I congratulate you, gentlemen, upon this auspicious result of your labors. Y’oa liuve been pleased to reler your decision to the judgment of your po ple. When it shall have received iheir sanction, os doubth s» it will, n great question arises in regard to your future position. Accustomed as have been the people of the Southern States to live io undisturbed amity with each other, they stiH ardently desire to be associated to- getner under the smile general government. Tlieir in- t -rests, their pursuits, tlieir luw.*, their institutions, their customs, are the same, and the same destiny awaits each and all. The hearts of Southern fathers and Southern mothers; of Southern brothers and sis ters, relatives and friends, have followed you to thi* distant land, itnil though saddened by the wide inter val between yon and them, they become less sad, us hope and faith bid them look forward to tiie time wueti all will again live muter the same torni of gov ernment, and he protected by it* *m-»ng arm. Not on y all tiie hignei and beltir feelings of nur mn lire, bu considerations arising from the difficulties niul dun j gers waicti surround us, indicate the wisdom and urge tne necessity of our a loptiug this measure. Deeply and solemnly impressed ns I am with tiie very great! importance of a reunion of the Southern States. I can- j not hut indulge the Impe tiint no unhallowed ambition or selti.-h purpose will array ih-eif in opposition to 11 policy so essentially indispenrable to toe prosperity, | happiness and safety of a. 1 '. United among nurse ves, 1 a world inarms cannot conquer or subjugate us. A beneficent Providence has in u nlimited prolusion placed I in our mi !*t «II the menus necessary to uutional power and national greatness, - all the elements of more ! speedy advancement mid higher civilization than was | everenjoved by the human race. If. therefore, these | blessings have not been unworthily bestowed ujkjii ns. j we shall, at no distant day, exhibit the spectacle of n j people more prosper,, us i 11 their pursuits, wiser in tlnir | laws, and happier in the form aud administration of tlieir Government,than any nation that the sun iu his I long journey of ages bus ever shone upon. CsMtsaks *f Mwsi ' The fbltowiug description ot one oi tho strange sights at Palermo, tho Mieiliau city which haa just come into the possession ot the victorious legion* of Garibaldi, w ill be found very interesting: “Tiie strangest ot all strange sights at Palermo are the catacombs of the Capuchins. We are al tami tar with the character of the Roman and Nea politan catacombs, underground excavations, re markable for their extent and for their associa tions with tiie history of the early Church. Tire Palermo catacombs, have a trightful peculikritv of their own; you descend from the little church, just outside the walls, not by deep subterranean passages, but into a succession uf vaults wel. lighted, and of no greater deprii than an ordinary cel ar. T hese vaults are long anil narrow corn dors, no ei her side of which, in niches cut outot the wall, ranged iu ghastly ranks, are pre*erve«l the bodies of the dead, not confined out ot sight, hut each iu the garb appropriate to It while living or cise in a long robe or winding sheet. Below these niches are wooden coffins, with windows at the rid-s. to shew the faces of the occupants. Overhead, near the ceiling, are skeleton* of chil- ureii sitiing. or of men reclining; all perfectly preserved some with their skiu still covering tlieir bones, others have nothing left but skull, and shoulders, and rib bones, with the arm* piously crossed, {some peculiarity of thw soi pievettts the ordinary decomposition, and men buried nearly two hundred yeaia ago still survive 111 this skeleton company, {strange to say that they are not permitted to rest in peace. On the 2nd of November in every year, the jour dee morts, or the festival of the dead, their relatives flo -k to this dismal place, and w'ell known mum nrie* are taken oui of their gazed coffins and dr. s-ed in gala costume They number not less than six thousand iu all; and I kuow of nothing more fearful than for a living being to find him self, as 1 did, unexpectedly among this army or dry bones. “Tiie most horrible feature in the whole exhi birion is that nearly eveiy ta< - e wears in i s tossii decay and ruin a dieadfully ludicrous and comic expression. The lack lustre eye socke's which gaze down upon you have a sort of grim vi'ality ot tlieir own, aud through the entire array it serms as it there was n dumb intelligence—a mute cor respoiidence and sympathy—in the sinister and almost wicked way in which they return the cu rious stare of the inttttders Y’et yon cannot help starting in spit- of litis, and tne eye wanders from one group to another, with a girauge and horrid fascination. ’ Some are larger limbed, thick-skulled, com placuut in tlieir successful preservation; others seemed to have twisted and wriggled their joints loose and must stand perpetually still or fall to pi-*.-i otUur*, with their ruined beads httng down, as if in contemplation of their ended earth ly lit ; and others, indifferent anil idle, some in dignant, like the ghost that Dante saw in hell with scrowls and grins sarcastic—all silent se pulchral, almost infernal.” SOUTHERN CONGRESS.
