THE SOUTH.

SOUTH CAROLINA.—We read in the New Isrk Times of
Jan. 8 :—We have reports from Charleston by travellers
which indicate the existence of much distress there. The
troops who have volunteered and presented themselves for
service are encamped in unhealthy situations, and, in con-
sequence of rain, swamps and misma, are suffering from
disease. No vessels loading, no business doing, women
weeping, and men overcome by sickness, and the city in the
hands of a mob, is the bulletin travellers present of the
condition of things at the present time in Charleston.
M is s is s ipp he Mississippi Convention also organised
on Jan. 7, and took the preliminary steps towards imme-
diate seccession. (A subsequent despatch by telegraph
reports the passage of the secession ordinance.)
JACKSONVILLE, Miss., Monday, Jan. 7.—The Governor
has ordered the Artillery to prepare ball cartridges. The
delegates to the Convention ars unanimous for secession.

LOUISTANA.—Hon. Pierre Soule made a speech at New
Orleans a few days since, urging Louisiana not to take any
hasty action in regard to secession, but to stand prepared to
act with her sister slaveholding States. Nothing but such
united action, he said, could comraaud for the movement
the respect of European nations.
NEW ORLEANS, Monday, Jan. 7.—The socession ticket
is triumphant. All the Senatorial delegates, and all but
four on the Representative ticket, are elected. The
city has been carried by over five hundred majority.
The following is an extract from a letter to a member
of Congress from Louisiana from an influential source :
We all agree on dissolution or separation, but we disagree
on mode. Property lately valued at sixty thousand doliars
in New Orleans sold a few days ago for nine thousand dol-
lars, on 12 months' time.
EORGIA, WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—One hundred and
four eountios have been heard from ; seventy are for im-
mediate secession, twenty-nine for co-operatien, and five
divided.

FLORIDA, TALLAMASSB, Jan. 5, 1861.—Judge M‘Ghee,
of Madison, was elected permanent President of the Con-
vention. The morning session was consumed in perfecting
an organisation. During the afternoon resolutions were
offered declaring the right of Florida to secede, declaring
the cause of its exercise, and the duty of the State to pre-
pare it. Adjourned till Monday.
TBNNESSEE.—Hon. Cave Johnson, of Tennessee, has
written a very strong letter, denouncing in the most
emphatic terms the secession movement—declaring it to be
nothing but rebellion, and proclaiming the duty of the
Federal Executive, in case of the capture of any of the forts
of the United States, to "retake then, without regard to
the blood or treasure that may be expended."

POLICE IN7ELLMENCE--(This Day).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY BY A COLONEL'S SERVANT.--Joseph Clive
Walter, a private soldier, Wellington Barracks, and also
servant to Colonel Henry Percival De Bathe, of the Scots
Fusilier Guards, residing at 60, Piccadilly, was charged
before Mr. Beadon, by Butcher, 137 C, as follows :

Col. De Bathe said that he was in the habit of giving
the postman who brought his letters ss. every Christmas,
and the prisoner, who was his servant, had charged him
with it, but he afterwards discovered that he had not given
the money to the man. He made the discovery on the 12th
January, on which night the prisoner got drunk, and had
ever since been under arrest.

In answer to Mr. BGadon, the Colonel stated that he had
also lost an enormous quantity of property—plate, clotheQ,
&c., and had not been able to ascertain any trace of them,
William James Uppleton, of 8, Delahay-street, West-
minster, district letter carrier, proved calling for the
gratuity as usual. The prisoner had never paid him,
stating that the Colonel had not given it to him, but asked
him to wait.

The Colonel said on the 12th, the day the prisoner was
arrested, the prisoner got drunk and ran up a score of 78.
at a publichouse, which he (the Colonel) had since paid the
barman. He had given the prisoner that day £5 to pay for
different articles.

The prisoner, who has been in the regiment four years,
was remanded for a week.
