We derive the following information as to
late movements in that State:
SOUTHERN RIGHTS MEETNGs.--We regret
exceedingly that the crowded state of our col
lumns to day will not admit Of the publication
Of the proceedings of meetings held in Warren,
Morgan and Wilkinson counties We give
| however, below, Il brief abstract of each ~ e.
The meeting in Warren county, held ut War
renton, on the 9th inst. was presided over by
Robert II. MorelaHd, esq, with p. Monaghan
esq, rs Secretary An admirable series of South
ern Rights resolutions were introduced by VIM
Gibson, esq, which We're unanimously adopted
d. W. Lewis, esq, Of Sparta, being present by
invitation, addressed the meeting in his usual
energetic, argumentative and convincing style.
Ills speech, which is represented as having been
an eloquent defence of Southern rights, was
listened to with profound attention and ELECTED
repeated marks ofapprobation.
An ably written letter from Judge Dougherty,
was read in reply to a committee of invitation
requesting him to be present upon the OCCASION,
in which he counsels to union of feeling among
the people Of the State and expresses the belief
that any remedy proposed by the Convention
will not fail, "if the South will unite upon its
application" We will publish this letter in our
next Tri-W eekly in connection with the proceed
ings of the Warren meeting.
The Southern Rights meeting in M organ coun-
ty, was held in Madison on the 10th inst. Capt
Thomas j. Bonner was called to the Chair, and
Messrs Porter and Woods requested TO act as
Secretaries. A committee, consisting Of Messrs.
Pawett, Stallings, Clark, Woods and Jessup,
was appointed to report resolutions and to pro-
pose tho names of suitable Southern Rights
candidates for the Convention. The resolutions,
reported by the committee, are mild but firm
and dignifed, and We're passed unanimously
Jesse G. Paulct and John burden, esqs., were
selected as candidates for the Convention. We
trust that the citizens of Morgan may give n
good account of themselves on the 25th of No
vember The ticket is an excellent one, and the
tone of the resolutions cannot be objected to by
any citizen of Georgia.
The meeting in Wilkinson, held ut Irwnton
on the 18th inst, was large and enthusiastic
Robert Boar and Samuel Bragg, esqs., presided,
and Messrs D.. C. w. Chandler and v. McCardel,
acted as Secretaries The object of the meeting
was explained by Col A. E. Cochran, after which,
the meeting went into an election, by ballot for
candidates to represent the county in the Con-
vention. Samuel Beall and Samuel Bragg, esqs
received the nomination, which was declared
unanimous. We will publish the proceedings in
full in our next.

Glad to Hear it.
The Louisville Journal SAYS.

TIC LOulsVlIIe JOUTHdt says.
"Louisvillc is at last awakening from her
sleep of years. While progress is everywhere
the cry she is determined no longer to shut her
ears TO the voice of reason"
We rejoice to hear this, for it has been ga

sleeping potions administered by the Journal
But alas poor Yorck," if she is determined no
longer to shut her ears to the voice of reason !
for in that case the Journals occupation S gone.

STRIKE, BUT HEAR Us.-Congress will re-
assemble on Monday, the2d Of December. The
struggle will re-commence unless the North
comes to the rescue. We shall not suffer a num-
Der of our paper to go forth, without attempting
to impress upon our brethren of the North the
Importance of the crisis to which we have ar
rived. We seek to open their eyes to the dan
ger which threatens the Unions Union.
We think that our brethren of the North
have done striking enough, and that such appeals
now only serve as invitations to them to repeat
the outrage. For our part we believe that the
time for expostulation and supplication has
passcd-and that we must strike back, or hum
bly, submit to any bufiettings they may be
pleased to bestow on us. A firm front opposed
to aggression is the only way of checking it.
"Man spurns the worm--but trembles ere he wake
The slumbering venom of the folded snake.
The first may turn, but not apengs the blow,
The last expires, but leaves no living foe"
The foot of the aggressor is planted on the
neck of the South. Will she initiate the exam
pie of her own fierce serpent, that sounds his
warning, and strikes if it be not needed or ex-
hibit the blind writings of the impotent worm!
We cannot, we. will not, doubt the choice her
high-spirted sons will make. ..'s

A slice out Of Uncle Sam.

The Journal of Commerce thus recites the cost
and the character of the improvements to be
made at the Brooklyn navy yard. Like the tide
of the Propontic shat knows no ebb," the great
current of the appropriations will set North
ward - '..s4 AZ: l".
The engine house now in progress, designed
to contain the pumps and engine, and the ma
chinery necessary to facilitate the construction
of vessels of war at this yard, is going forward
with rapidity. There are constantly employed
on it, or in connection with it, 500 men, includ-
ing l6O stone cutters. The building will be of
granite, (of the same material as the Dock
brought from the State of Maine, and cut in the
yard. 1t will be 800 feet in length-o1e-third
larger than the Astor House, on Broadway-and
go feet in width. The central section will be
four stories high, with wings ut each end three
stories high The roof will be wrought iron
truss covered with copper. WOrkmen have
commenced covering the east end, in which the
large pumps and engines are already placed
The floors are to be of iron, also the window
frames, sash blinds and doors, rendering the edi-
flee indestructible by fire. When completed
next season, it will form the most extensive and
elegant structure of the kind in the world. The
building rests on piles driven in quick sand,
similar to the foundations Of the dock, and is
rendered further stable by massive stone sub
terranean arches, OH which the walls are placed.
In some portions these arches are 40 feet below
the surface.

The total expenditure for the dry dock, engine
house and fixtures, to this date, is $3.50, 200,
and will reach, when the works are completed,
$2,OOO,OOO. The whole are under the supervi-
sion of Charles B. Stuart, esq, Chief Engineer

rY- 1t is so unusual for any Northern Journal
to do Justice to the emanations of Southern
ntellects, or to acknowledge their literary abors
that we were quite taken by surprise yesterday
at seeing in the New York Herald the following
discriminating and just crtique on the Southern
Quarterly Reuieo. Under the charge of WIN
GILMORE SMMs it leaves its numbering old
competitor, the North American, as far behind
as the rai-cars do the old slow coaches. BY
the way, the last issue of the Southern Quarterly
fev:ep has failed to reach u.s. Whose fault
is it!
SOUTHERN LTERATURE.-TheS Southern Q uar-
terly Review is fine specimen of periodical
literature, and is really the most creditable work
of the kind in this country. 1t has more sub
stantial character than some Of its Northern
contemporaries. 1t seems to be wholly free from
those isms and transcendental German abstrac'
tons which are like excrescences upon our re-
publican literature. The North American Re
view, published in Boston, and edited by Mr.
Bowen, the euIogist of Austrian tyranny ovel
Hungarian misfortune, is merely sectiona
work-the emanation Of clique. The only
wholesome articles found in it, are those contri.
buted by ,Whipple and one or two other indie
pendent writer's The remainder are singularly
silly and weak, 1t has no boldness or freedom,
of opinion and though sarcasm has taken the
place of sense that marked its career in its early
history, yet it only appeals to the few, and not
to the mass, of the American mind. Hence its
want of practical usefulness, without which
quality periodical literature is rs worthless for
earthly purposes, as sponge at the bottom OF
the sea- The Southern Quarterly Review is I
work of better national stamp. 1t is more
liberal. It is not hedged in by college cliques
and created by critics paying compliments to
each other. With this distinction, it is sure to
continue in the enjoyment of a larger share OF
popular favor than its Northern contemporary.

Paving the way.

Senator COOPER Of Pennsylvania gentleman
who has been much landed in certain quarters
for the nationality ofhis views, and the con-
servatism" of his course, has recently written u
letter in which he defines his position, and that

! Truly does Senator COoPER, intimate that in
situation will better. advance the darling object
of the North, than open aggression: m s,I w.,
" The measures adopted at the last session of
Congress-, were designed to quiet the dissen-
sions, old and new, existing between the North
and South and with the exception of the Fugi-
tive slave bill, supported them with zeal, ami
mated by the knowledge that something Was ne
cessary to remove the causes which were under
mining the foundations of the Union, and threat
ening it with ultimate destruction. If these
measures should prove reasonably successful in
restoring harmony to the country and safety to
the Union, as | firmly hope and believe they
will, it will be the duty of every good citizen to
set his face against any attempt to repeal them
or to renew agitation, II any one of them re-
quire amendment or modification, let it be
amended or modified in such manner as expe-
rienee, wisdom and patriotism may dictate but
let the renewal of the exciting and dangerous
controversy be eschewed and discountenanced.
As patriots we owe it to the country-as Wings
We owe it to the Administration to stand by the
settlement which has been made"
I" am opposed to slavery-earnestly, heartily,
now and forever, and there are but few in Penn
sylvania who are otherwise. But while our sym
pathies as men lead us to deplore the existence
of slavery, our duty as citizens forbids us to in
terfere with it in the States. It is there recog-
nized and protected by the Constitution, and
there is no higher law, so far as it concerns our
duty as citizens of the State, or of the United
States, to absolve us from our obedience to the
requirements of the Constitution. However re-
pugnant, therefore, slavery may be our feelings,
however much our sympathies may incline us to
commiserate the condition of the slave, we have
no right to put forth our hands to take him from
his masters service, or having escaped from him,
to prevent his reclamation. We may endeavOr
to show our brethren that they would consult
their own interests, rs well as promote the cause
of humanity, by taking measures for its gradual
abolition; and that by so doing they would be-
come weather., happier, and their people, gen
orally, more enlightened. Honest and kind
eounsels will have more weight with them than
angry reproaches, or unjustifabe interference
with their rights. BY the practice of justice and
moderation, mutually, by one section towards
the other, good feeling and harmony may be re-
stored and preserved and the interests OF human
freedom promoted"
